One thing was abundantly clear after a meeting Tuesday in Mount Airy to help plot the course for a program called the Blue Ridge Music Trail(s) of North Carolina:
"The Blue Ridge Music Trail is not a road — it's a region," program leader Angie Chandler told about 35 people from a five-county area who gathered in the Earle Theatre for a planning session.
The trails program seeks to better promote the traditional music heritage in 29 counties in western North Carolina, including Surry, through collaborative marketing efforts. Tuesday's session was one of seven meetings scheduled in localities around the region.
"But at this point in time, it is not a physical road," stressed Chandler, the executive director of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership, which is working with the North Carolina Arts Council to launch the trail initiative.
If there is a common thread of pavement linking the 29 counties, the Blue Ridge Parkway probably fills the bill, Chandler said of the scenic highway that winds its way through Surry and other areas with a rich musical history.
Tuesday's meeting in the Earle Theatre — which houses the local Old-Time Music Heritage Hall — included representatives of Surry, Stokes, Yadkin, Iredell and Rockingham counties. Local musicians were among those in attendance.
Much of their discussion surrounded the events and other activities now under way in the respective counties and how the promotion of them might be better accomplished through a joint arrangement. More than 160 music venues are now thriving in the region, according to information presented Tuesday.
Jessica Icenhour Roberts, director of tourism for the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce, said the impression left on her from Tuesday's gathering is that there is strength in numbers.
While individual counties might be doing a good job on their own, the idea behind the new Blue Ridge Music Trails network is providing a stronger framework for increasing tourism, Roberts said, along with opportunities for musicians.
"I think it's really good," said local musician Chester McMillian of Surry's fabled Round Peak section that is widely known as a stronghold for the old-time genre.
"We just need to get everybody tuned in," added McMillian, a guitar player with the groups The Zephyr Lightning Bolts and Back-Step.
Steve Martin, owner of a downtown store as well as a representative of the chamber who attended Tuesday's meeting, said he was excited by the regional concept and its potential for Surry County.
"This music has been here for generations, and we're not there yet," Martin said of realizing the full potential.
Identifying more ways to let people know about the music is a key, he added, just as other attractions in this area are being enthusiastically promoted. "This is not just Mayberry, this is not just wine."
Establishing a master list of musical events and venues is one of the goals of the trails initiative, along with a new guidebook and website to help visitors better access what's offered in the various counties. The bulk of promotional activities is expected to be launched in the spring of 2014, Chandler said.
However, McMillian, the local musician, believes the effort needs to run deeper.
"We're going to have to get it back into schools," McMillian said of incorporating studies of traditional music into students' education, mentioning that this is now practiced in Alleghany County.
"See, we're old people here," explained McMillian, 70, citing the dwindling ranks of practitioners of a musical craft dating to the early 1900s.
"And if we don't teach the young people how to do it, it's going to be gone."

Español Entering into a restaurant kitchen before they begin to warm the engines is a feeling like entering into the Liceu, one morning, before arriving visitors, when in the theater we can only hear the silence and maybe the voice of some technical. In my opinion, the kitchen of a restaurant is something like the engine room of a shipor the plenary hall of the Parliament, when there just walk any officer or any member of the security. Is a sense of "before" before something important happens....

Germano hopes to earn spot for '13
CHICAGO – Justin Germano hopes a strong finish can earn him the chance to pitch for the Cubs next season.
"I know the opportunity (for 2013) is there, but I've got to worry about what I'm doing now," Germano said after the Cubs' 6-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. "I've had a couple starts where things didn't really go my way and I got into a rough patch."
Kyle Lohse and the short-handed Cardinals won for the sixth time in seven games, holding their lead in the NL wild-card race.

By "rumors" you mean multiple explicit statements by members of the band over a period longer than a year? They'll have something new in '13, when they already have 6 shows booked and more to come around Coachella time, but there's nothing as gauche as a release date yet.
(Sorry for knowing how to use the internet)
I think the people who sent their last record to #1 might care.

I really hope on sunday night they do something similar with the sahara/main stage like they did this year.. putting a really fucking shitty dj in the sahara while who ever closes out the festival can do it with all the e-tards in the sahara.. i think it would kinda suck if boys noize and richie hawtin play sunday night against the rolling stones. Would rather them play against deadmau5 and YYYs and benny bennasi can play against the stones. Also who would play in the sahara against daft punk? seems hard to put an electronic act against them.

Program goals and key elements:
Oxfam has been working in Cuba since 1993 with local partners to support equitable and sustainable development. Oxfam works in municipalities, with national organizations and with regional groups to promote South-South experience sharing around active citizenship and participation, gender equality and risk reduction.
Our work:
Focused on the Eastern Provinces of Cuba, Oxfam works at the municipal level with local partner organizations to improve communities' capacities to promote participation, food security, gender equality and disaster risk reduction.
Our national engagement with partners focuses on strengthening capacities for active citizenship, to ensure that women's voices are heard and respected and to strengthen local capacities and public awareness to fight against violence against women.
Oxfam supports communities to be better prepared to respond to hurricanes and other natural disasters and provides humanitarian support if local capacities are overthrown. Regionally, Oxfam supports South-South learning exchanges and Cubans participation in international networks, mostly in Central America and the Caribbean.

What is underwhelming about Maemo? It was only killed by Cathedral politics.
BTW, Linux kernel is a product of the bazaar, so your negative assertion is disproved by example.
It's kida a moot point...

Sorry, but no...
Posted Mar 30, 2011 8:11 UTC (Wed) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link]
Right. But the fact remains: "Cathedral politics" was able to kill it. It means few people cared. Ask yourself: why Nokia threw it away and went with Windows Phone 7? Because only geeks wanted "normal unix workstation in your pocket". The same happened with Zaurus years before: few geeks bought it (of course they were disappointed when they found out it's chock-full of binary blobs), but "normal people" were not interested so eventually it stopped being Linux-based and switched to Windows.
The next thing we'll hear from MeeGo apologists is that Hurd, too, is a resounding success.
Linux kernel only become open bazaar after years of development. Initially it was developed by quite small number of people - and they coordinated development quite precisely among themselves (kinda like OHA just without all these secrecy - it was mostly replaced by obscurity because few people were interested in Linux back then). BTW new features are still developed privately in cathedral manner and often are shipped in real products before they are presented to upstream.

So you are comparing Windows 7 mobile with Meego ? Interesting. Even though Meego is/was geeky, it is still far far better than Windows 7 as a mobile platform. Also, regaring "unix workstation in pocket", now Nokia will soon realize that there is no pocket where there phone will fit in; sorry, but they went completely antipodal to their core strategy. There is no need why anyone would want to use Nokia on Windows 7 when there are Android and iPhone serving different user bases.
Another thing being - geeks - not the same when it comes to mobile phones, I have seen plenty of non-geeky people who wanted to change/mod their phones to help them better, look at Cyanogen Mod for instance - it is not just geeks who are using it.

Time will tell. I, too, think Nokia did wrong choice, but I'm not so sure noone will want Windows Phone 7. Previous incarnations of Windows Phone were pretty popular. Not as popular as iPhone or Android, but pretty popular nonetheless.
I have seen plenty of non-geeky people who wanted to change/mod their phones to help them better, look at Cyanogen Mod for instance - it is not just geeks who are using it.
Sure! But the problem here is: only geeks buy things with explicit goal of changing/modding them. When Joe Average buys phone (or any other gadget, really) the "freedom to tinker" is very far on the list of things he looks for. It's when s/he already owns the phone s/he finds out it's locked and can not be fixed. If there are many similar models then may be s/he'll choose the more open one, but if you can buy locked system on each street corner and unlockable one only in a few select shops... it's not even a contest.
When new phone models come out every few months you just don't have any hope of keeping your "community-driven" project relevant: when all new models are not supported and you must buy things which are almost obolescent or even "sold out" (means you can only buy them used)... who will do that except geeks?

Location: Nutrient Data
1a.Objectives (from AD-416) The NDL will provide scientific and technical expertise for acquisition, evaluation, and compilation of composition data for foods and dietary supplements. NDL will develop and implement appropriate sampling strategies, define and direct the analytical program and evaluate quality of data received. Resulting data will be disseminated at regular intervals through electronic media. NDL will provide supervision of scientists, administrative support, space and additional personnel to carry out this program.
1b.Approach (from AD-416) NDL will continue to expand and improve the databases for as many as 120 components in foods and dietary supplements to assure the representativeness and timeliness of those values. Under the comprehensive National Food and Nutrient Analysis Program and work for the Dietary Supplements Ingredients Database, data for traditional components will be updated while data for emerging components will be added. These will include sodium, and specific forms of vitamins E and D and individual fatty acids. Data will be obtained through USDA-directed contracts with commercial labs and collaborative agreements with universities and other government labs. Labs will be selected in a competitive process according their use of valid methods and quality control procedures for individual components. Research concerning the variability of nutrients in specific foods and dietary supplements will be initiated. Efforts will continue to determine the appropriate methods of data dissemination in keeping with rapidly changing computer and internet technology.
3.Progress Report
This project has supported obtaining complete, accurate, and current data for frequently consumed Key Foods and nutrients of public health significance. NIH support for the NFNAP has enabled NDL to generate current and nationally representative data for many food items and dietary supplements in the rapidly changing marketplace. USDA's food composition data are regarded as the foundation and benchmark for all second-generation databases concerning nutrition monitoring, nutrition research, and food policy in the U.S. Data for both foods and dietary supplements are needed to assess total nutrient intake for the U.S. population. In addition, food composition data for bioactive components are key elements in nutrition research projects which investigate the role of the intake of components in maintaining health status. Data for this project were received in monthly reports, and frequent communication with collaborators has taken place through email, periodic meetings, and conference calls.

Like everyone else, I'm writing my take on the topic, especially since so many reporters have hit me up over the past week to talk trends. If you happen to have stepped away from the NBA for a week, welcome back and prepare to have your entire world flipped upside-down. By the end of January, the New York Knicks were once again floundering in the Eastern Conference and headed toward a prolonged stretch without top-scorers Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire. Things were looking bleak until they caught lightning in a bottle with point guard Jeremy Lin.
(Caption: The New York Post has declared today VaLINtine's Day!)
I love this kid's story! Lin, an undrafted free agent, was waived by my Golden State Warriors (not so much in love with this part) and picked up by the Rockets. The Rockets cut him the day before the season started, but he was soon signed as a backup point guard by the Knicks three days later. Lin wouldn't get his big break until February 4th, when he recorded 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 7 assists against the Nets. Five stellar games later, and more importantly five wins later, #Linsanity was born!
(Caption: #Linsanity isn't just an American craze. He's even graced the front page of today's Toronto Star ahead of the Knicks game against the Raptors tonight.)
There may be a few things you don't know about the Knicks' latest sensation. Here are five facts about Jeremy Lin!
1. He's A Local Kid
Jeremy Lin grew up in StubHub's backyard in nearby Palo Alto, California. He led Palo Alto High School to the California Division II State Championships in 2006 when he was a Senior, and was named the Division II Player of the Year. He was also named the San Francisco Chronicle Player of the Year. The most impressive part of all of this? He had a 4.2 GPA!
2. Harvard Isn't A Basketball Hotbed
Despite all his high school accolades, the only Division I offer he received was from Harvard. Since Harvard is a part of the Ivy League, that "offer" did not come with any tuition scholarships. Even worse, the Crimson had never won an Ivy League title in its program's history and was notorious for having a low emphasis on collegiate basketball. But even in the midst of this seemingly difficult situation, Lin thrived! He even got the attention of Hall of Fame UCONN coach Jim Calhoun who said Lin "really knows how to play" and could start on any team he's coached. Although Lin had success, his NBA prospects were dim. The last Harvard player to play in the NBA? Ed Smith in 1953.
3. First Taiwanese-American in the NBA
As expected, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft, but was eventually signed by the Warriors. I remember he had somewhat of a cult-following around the Bay Area and was immensely popular. He got his first moment of playing time in a memorable season-opening game of the 2010-2011 season when they finally put Lin in to a standing ovation. By making the Warriors, he became the first NBA player born in America of Chinese or Taiwanese decent.
4. He Was Almost Cut
Reports showed that Lin was on his last leg with the Knicks. With several players due to come back from injury and a Feb. 7 date looming which guaranteed Lin's $788,000 contract for the entire year, Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni was planning on waiving Lin. The Knicks were 8-15 before their game with the Nets and a loss would have dropped them behind their New Jersey brethren in the standings. It was in this small window that Lin made the most of his opportunity! After that huge game, he followed it up with impressive performances and wins over Utah, Washington, the Los Angeles Lakers, and Minnesota. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, no other player in NBA history has ever scored 20 points and recorded 7 assists in each of his first four starts. I think the Knicks will guarantee that contract now.
And, a story that is now legend: after he was signed by the Knicks to a 10-day contract on Dec. 27, Lin spent his time in New York crashing on his brother's couch! Teammate Landry Fields tweeted this picture of that infamous couch and said "Let the bidding begin!" He should put that couch up for sale on eBay.
5. Probably Couldn't Happen Anywhere But the NBA
We've had some pretty crazy sports stories recently, but I haven't seen anything quite like Linsanity. Of course, the fact that Lin plays in the media capital of New York probably helps spur this hype, but it reminds me a little of Tebowmania. Even then, we all knew Tebow from his days winning National Championships at Florida. Jeremy Lin came out of nowhere! There was an interesting article that ran yesterday in the Chicago Tribune that argued Linsanity would never happen in MLB. The position is because of the recent steroid issues in the MLB, any meteoric rise would instantly be met with heightened scrutiny. They make an interesting point. I'm sure all baseball fans remember fondly the Fernandomania craze of 1981, when Dodgers' pitcher Fernando Valenzuela burst on the scene, but when Jose Bautista came out of nowhere and belted a league-leading 54 home runs with the Blue Jays in 2010, he was instantly met with cries of "What are you taking!?!" and failed to generate much buzz.

Muscle Activation During Therapeutic Exercises of the Shoulder
To identify muscle-firing characteristics and there determine the exercises which target the supraspinatus (SUP), subscapularis (SUB), infraspinatus (INF) and teres major (MAJ).
Fifteen college students between the ages of 20-22 reported to the Human Performance Laboratory for participation. Subjects must not have experienced a subluxation or dislocation episode, and currently have no pain in their dominant arm and shoulder.
After completing the approved informed consent form demographic data was collected (Height, Weight, Age, Dominant arm). Subjects then were introduced to a series of rehabilitation exercises: 1 - 90/90 Internal Rotation (IR), 2 - 90/90 External Rotation (ER), 3 - Neutral (NEU) IR, 4 - NEU ER, 5 - Scaption (SCAP) IR, 6 - SCAP ER, 7 - Lat Pull, and 8 - Horizontal Abduction . Once they were comfortable with the exercises they were prepped for the insertion of the electrodes. After insertion subjects randomly completed each exercise. Electromyographic data was collected during each exercise.
For each subject muscle activity was collected using electromyography. Data was first filtered using a Blackman -67 (20-100 mHz) bandpass filter and then rectified. Five repetitions (3-7) per exercise were used in analysis. The integral and delta s were extracted from each repetition
A 2-way repeated measure ANOVA, alpha = 0.05, was run to identified significance and followed with a Tukey HSD Post-hoc analysis. Significance in the interaction between the muscle and motion was identified. For the SUP, 90/90 ER elicited the most muscle recruitment. The INF and MAJ, were both recruited greater during 90/90 ER and SCAP ER exercises.
Recruitment during 90/90 ER, and SCAP ER was significantly greater for the SUP, INF, and MAJ. With the 90/90 ER being slightly higher than the SCAP ER motion. Recruitment during 90/90 ER and SCAP ER was significantly greater than other motions for the MAJ, the authors feel that this may be due to decreases in ER strength and therefore substitution.
External rotation at 90/90 and in scaption elicit the most muscle recruitment for the SUP, INF, and MAJ and therefore should be staples in rehabilitation protocols for the Glenohumeral joint.

In this issue of Aviation Classics we move forward into the 1960s with an iconic Cold War jet fighter that was to become one of the most successful and widely used aircraft of the period. The design began as the N-156 of 1959, a privately funded single seat light fighter concept from Northrop, and developed over the next 20 years into a variety of roles, serving with 36 air forces worldwide.

Yes, always. It's a constant-angular-velocity system so the speed of the groove under the stylus is higher at the outer versus the inner and, generally, higher speed means better quality. A normal pivoted arm can only achieve optimum tracking geometry at just two points of its arc. The various protractors and jigs reflect a number of differing opinions of where those two points should be. I assume it's possible to achieve zero tracking distortion at both the outer-most and inner-most points but such an alignment would result in huge distortion in the middle of the side. A linear-tracking (or pivoted tangential-tracking) tonearm can eliminate the tracking distortion by achieving optimum geometry across the whole of the cut area. Even then the fact remains that the maximum quality available inevitably diminishes towards the inner grooves, for the reason stated.mikewilliamson wrote:... or will these inner tracks always sound inferior in fidelity to outer groove tracks no matter what?

I wish I had another 1042 stylus lying around to test with. Maybe it's a bad stylus and I'm agonizing over the VTA for nothing.

No special treatment for jailed county exec in Md.
March 20, 2013 @ 4:45 am
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - A former Maryland county executive serving a sentence for misconduct has made special requests for Cheerios, skim milk, bananas and orange juice. And jail officials say those and other requests have been denied.
The superintendent of the county's detention facilities, Terry Kokolis, said in a statement Monday that John Leopold "has burdened staff with multiple special requests and needs that have not and will not be provided."
Leopold, a former Anne Arundel County Executive, is serving 30 days in jail. Authorities said that, among other things, he forced members of his security detail to perform campaign work and had another county employee empty his urinary catheter bag.
The Capital of Annapolis ( http://bit.ly/ZcYKW9) reports Leopold also asked for his electric shaver and dental floss. Those requests also were denied.

With a description like this, how could I resist trying my hand at this ancient art? And so I did.
A year ago, I tried multiple times to get a starter going from scratch, with each attempt turning out to be the equivalent of a science experiment gone really bad.
All of the information I could find on making starters were catered to those in temperate climates, with the recommended temperature for cultivating the finicky mixture of natural yeasts and lacto-bacteria being around 23°C - a temperature only possible in Malaysia with air-conditioning. Which I don't have.
Which ended up with hyperactive mixtures of fermenting goo that bubbled up too quickly and turned rancid even quicker.
This week, I was suddenly struck with the mad fancy to try again what I had failed miserably in. I stumbled across a forum post by a sourdough baker who said that in the heat of summer, he keeps his starter cool by placing the jar in a bowl of water. Of course I had to try that!
Fast forward a few days, and I now have a very happy, healthy, bubbly, and non-puke-smelling starter. I almost feel like a proud mommy.
But of course, the real test of a good starter - Will it rise bread without the use of commercial yeast? I put my starter to the test.
And, as you might have guessed from the picture above, I succeeded! While it didn't rise as much as I had hoped it would, it definitely rose and had the most marvelous, complex, rich taste.
Look at the delightfully irregular air bubbles created by the sourdough starter! You'll never find this kind of rustic authenticity with commercial yeast. |
I can just imagine how perfect it'll taste with some homemade pumpkin soup - love!
It's ridiculously easy to make me happy. Give me simple domestic pleasures - food, pets, company... coupled with a touch of nature - a purple sunset, a walk in the park, a light breeze - and I'm in my idea of heaven.

While recently trying to explain the sloka – 'dehino'smin yathā dehe' – of the Gita, I was having a doubt whether the listener would consider it a piece of pop Vedanta. The verses tell Arjuna not to worry for those departed, as their ātmā is something eternal. Quoted out of context, these verses can have a strange effect. They are sometimes recited during funerals so as to create an ambience of sobriety and solemnity, and people are even coming to feel that Gita has to be recited during funerals.
The difficulty is in explaining the logic behind the advice such as – 'do not grieve for those departed or alive', or 'it is not as though I was not there at any time', or 'the embodied self will get another body just as it discards old clothes and gets new ones' and so on. In order to avoid the impression that it is all pulp Vedanta, I had to take shelter under the explanations given in the third pAda of the second chapter of Brahma-sutras. It was easier to tell the arguments advanced therein and justify the advice of Krishna.
The advice of Krishna can be easily tallied with the series of discussions and decisions in the portion of Brahma-sutras noted above. The questions asked there are:
The first question is handled by sutra 2-3-16 where the operating line of śruti is from the Chandogya Upanishad (6-11-3). [The topic-wise discussion in the Brahma-sutras is based on some operating line or lines of some Upanishad]. This śruti clarifies that the jīva is present in the moving and non-moving bodies (carācara) which are of fleeting nature. Shankaracharya uses the expression – sthāvara-jaṅgama-śarīra-viṣayau janma-maraṇa-śabdau, which means that death and birth apply to the moving and non-moving bodies which the jīva may take. It includes the plant kingdom.
The next question is about the nature of jīva. Does it emerge from the Brahman in the same manner as space and other elements? The answer is 'no'. This is discussed in the BS 2-3-17.The line from Chandogya Upanishad clearly says – 'I will enter in the form of jīva and give name and form' (6-3-2). The body is an 'upādhi', i.e. a tentative limiting factor, which gives a form and name to the otherwise formless consciousness. If we admit death to jīva, then there would be none to experience the fruit of his good or bad deeds. If we admit birth afresh, then, he would be experiencing the fruit of some action which he had not done earlier. This is called the flaw of 'loss of what is done and accrual of what is not done', - a flaw which is not acceptable. Hence, in this it is shown that jīva is of the same nature as Brahman.
The question about whether the jīva is sentient or otherwise stands answered in the above sutra itself and so it is merely mentioned in the next sutra – BS 2-3-18. It states that jīva is a conscious entity.
The question on size of jīvātmā is a favorite discussion for philosophers. The jīva is supposed to transmigrate from body to body, may be from an elephant's body to an ant's body. In such a case a question arises about the size. Vedanta envisages three possibilities, i.e. it could be atomic in size, or of the size of the body it occupies, or it could be all-pervading. After a lengthy discussion into apparently contradictory statements of śruti it is decided that the jīva is a vibhu, i.e. all-pervading (BS 2-3-29). The difference we find is only in terms of bodies but not in terms of the ātmā.
The question whether the jīva is the doer is discussed next in BS 2-3-33to 40. If jīva is of the same nature as Brahman, then it follows that he cannot be a kartā, i.e. the doer. However, the jīva identifies himself with the BMI and superimposes the qualities of the body and mind on the immutable self. The decision of the Brahma-sutras is that the identification with BMI makes him the doer and freedom from such feeling frees him from being the doer.
A summary of the above discussion leads to the last question about the jīva's relation with Brahman. In 11 sutra-s there is a broad outline of the avaccedavāda and the ābhāsa vāda. The former is an argument that the all-pervading consciousness is delimited by several bodies just as the sky appears delimited by several places by which it is circumscribed. The second analogy is that of a reflection of the same sun in different water bodies. The stillness and purity of the water bodies determines the purity of the image.
A comprehensive discussion on the nature of jīva is thus presented in the text of Brahma-sutra mentioned above.
Reading jīvanmukti-viveka of Vidyaranya for the first time a few days ago has been a refreshing experience. It is a classic in the advaita philosophy which, I should say, is a sort of how-to-do-it guide in the path of self-purification. The language of Vidyaranya is direct, simple and hitting. There seems to be considerable influence of another advaita classic 'yoga vāsiṣṭa' (the author quotes from the Laghu yoga vāsiṣṭa), the Patanjali's Yoga Sutra-s, and of 'sūta saṃhitā'. All these three are unique texts for their practical approach.
Two important concepts which are elaborated in the book are – mano-nāśa, the nullification of mind and vāsanā-kṣaya, the gradual withering away of all conditioning factors in the mind. These are important steps in cleansing the mind. There are two lengthy chapters on these two subjects. These two are to be conjointly practiced along with tattvajñānam i.e. which can otherwise be called śravaṇam. A close reading of these two chapters shows that these two exercises are what are expected of us in the nididhyāsanam, which is the process of internalization and living the doctrine.
The doctrine, succinctly put, is 'brahma-satyam jaganmithyā, i.e. the Brahman is real and the world is unreal. This information, (which cannot be called knowledge of Brahman) can be got by studious pursuit of Vedanta, by understanding the text (śravaṇam) and by logical process (mananam). However, this information, unaccompanied by self-discipline is not knowledge that can lead to jīvanmukti, because all the aberrations of the upādhi (like attachment, hate, pride, anger etc,) are continuing. The objective of the knower of Brahman becoming Brahman is remote for such a person. This can give rise to an amoral existentialist monster visualized by the existentialist philosophers.
Vidyaranya quotes extensively from Laghu yoga vāsiṣṭa (LYV) to show that the three factors – tattvajñānam (TJ), vāsanā-kṣaya (VK) and mano-nāśa (MN) - have to be practiced jointly. The above three are grouped into three pairs, TJ and VK as one pair, VK and MN as another pair and TJ and MN as the last pair. In each of these pairs, each one in the duo acts as a cause for the other. Vidyaranya analyses each pair and shows how they are mutually dependent or supportive.
Vāsanā is a residual impression as a resultant of any contact. Two objects coming into contact leave traces on each other. It is a simple rule of forensic science. When we read a book or see a film or interact with a person, an impression is left behind on the mind. This is usually about whether something is right or wrong. This usually determines our future behavior. Hence Vidyaranya defines it as ''the cause behind a person's spontaneous and unpremeditated response to a situation''. The word vāsanā is from the root 'vasa' – 'to dwell', like the name Vāsudeva, who 'dwells in all'.
Vāsanā-s of previous births are carried by the subtle body into the present body. In this tenure again there are fresh vāsanā-s, generating fresh patterns of behavior. These vāsanā-s should not be mistaken for karma-phalam, which is the result of our previous actions. Vāsanā-s are our own making, whereas the fruit of action is the award by the Maker for our good or bad deeds. Karma-phalam can be neutralized by good actions in this life (पुण्येन पापम् अपनुदति) and vāsanā-s can be consciously modified or neutralized by vedantic reasoning i.e. śravaṇam and mananam.
These vāsanā-s cannot be wiped out in one go by an ordinary person. A lot of practice has to go into that. The teacher, who is like the Chinese Olympics coach, monitors the growth of the student. The vāsanā-s can only be reduced gradually.
Vidyaranya analyses the first pair i.e. TJ and VK and quotes yoga vāsiṣṭa to show that debilitation of vāsanā-s is required for the right thinking to take place. Unless vāsanā-s like anger, greed etc, are controlled tattvajñānam is difficult to attain, as the mind is dragged away by the aberrations of anger etc. Similarly, tattvajñānam forms the basis for generating counter vāsanā-s (pratikUla- vāsanā-s), which helps in the withering away of vāsanā-s. It gives the supporting logic.
This interdependence is same with the next pair, VK and MN. Mind incessantly modifies itself into a stream of thoughts called vṛtti-s. This stream has to be stopped by practicing the methods suggested by Patanjali. A complete cessation of mental turbulence is MN, which is supportive of VK. Similarly without VK, it is difficult to attain MN. Vāsanā-s continue to give rise to vṛtti-s and so VK is to be simultaneously practiced.
The third pair is TJ and MN. TJ only can prepare the mind for vairāgya, i.e. dispassion. TJ tells the mind that the objects of desire are but mithyā or unreal. This is like taking away the fuel from the fire and so the mind is not inclined to move in that direction. This is absence of vṛtti, which is MN. Similarly, MN is conducive for TJ. Without MN the objects continue to impinge on the mind and the seeker will be unable to understand the import of lines like 'there is no duality whatsoever here'. Such statements would contradict his direct perception.
VK is deletion of old impressions while MN is not allowing fresh impressions. TJ is required to support both. Without TJ the above duo cannot lead to liberation even if accompanied by the worship of a saguṇa Brahman (न तस्य कैवल्यमस्ति, लिङ्गदेहस्य अनपायात्), says Vidyaranya, as the subtle body is not destroyed.
As the minister who established and guided the Vijayanagara empire, Vidyaranya shows his analytical ability in defining the subtle processes of the mind and shows that conscious habits influence the 'unconscious mind' as we call it today.
Mukti literally means release or liberation or freedom. 'jīvan' is the present continuous form for the verb jīva, 'to live'. So the word jīvanmukti refers to a state where, while being alive one becomes free from the baggage of the mind, past and present. This is possible when all the three factors noted above are simultaneously fostered.

SRI International Introduces Video Stabilization Module for Sony® Block Cameras
PR Newswire
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 5, 2013
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SRI International today unveiled a compact video stabilization interface board for Sony's popular line of FCB-EX and FCB-EX-E series standard definition block cameras. The ILS-5000-SD™ embedded stabilizer enhances video quality for camera modules that are widely used in law enforcement, surveillance, intelligent traffic systems, border protection, robotics, and unmanned vehicles.
The ILS-5000-SD improves the clarity of video by counteracting the effects of camera shake and vibration. Camera motion caused by moving vehicles or platforms and long-range zoom can make video images hard to interpret, trigger false alarms, reduce storage capacity, and decrease available transmission bandwidth. At a price less than the typical block camera, the ILS-5000-SD corrects for unwanted vertical, horizontal, and rotational motion across a wide range of shake frequencies. It also improves overall camera system performance.
"SRI stabilization technology is already being used in high-end military and surveillance applications," said Mark Clifton, vice president, SRI Products and Services division. "The ILS-5000-SD now brings this powerful capability to a far broader range of industries and applications."
Designed for easy integration, the ILS-5000-SD stabilizer supports Sony's VISCA® camera control protocol, providing a seamless interface for both video and stabilization control. It also matches the profile of Sony block cameras, making the module ideal for new and existing systems.

Hip-Hop Step Up
Tech N9ne and Realization top two very strong shows in Salinas and Monterey.
Thursday, May 7, 2009
"When you say 'hip-hop,'" says Mark ("Foot") Lofton, manager and MC of hip-hop band Realization (formerly 40831), "people think stupid booty shaker music – they think rap. Rap is what they play on the radio. Hip-hop is music with a conscience. There is still real hip-hop music out there."
This weekend, it's here. Since April, Realization has been threading the California coast on The Awareness Tour, which will soon make a generous amount of Central Coast stops at spots including Jose's, Monterey Live, Mortimer's (really?) and this Friday's all-out show at The Planet Ultralounge. There, they will be joined by San Jose's ska-rock-rap outfit Firme, Salinas' PLG (Para la Gente), BBT (Billy Bud Toker), breakdance crew Onepiece, live painters BasicLee and Epic – all rolled out on a red carpet photo entrance and broadcast via the Internet and radio station KNRY.
Lofkin says the band changed its name (40831 was the hybridized area codes of San Jose and Seaside) to appeal to a broader market, and to not perpetuate the geographic divisions that young gang members often adopt. They use their music – a mash-up of hip-hop, rock and reggae – to shower political and spiritual messages on the masses, like a more irie Rage Against the Machine.
That's the gameplan of PLG, too (the Weekly's Zachary Stahl is their bass player). They describe their style as conscious live hip-hop with an old-school flavor. Firme rock the hardest, with guitars and horns leading their ska attack, and share the tour's socially conscious streak. Hailing from Seaside, Billy Bud Toker's "socially conscious" colors are clouded by weed smoke, hood tales and Pro Tools-like production.
"A lot of the music out now," Lofkin says, "is all about 'go dumb.' We call [ours] 'feel good' music."
But wait. There's more.
On Sunday, over in Salinas, the Fox Theater presents a minor coup for the county's hip-hop heads: Tech N9ne and MURS. Tech N9ne, from Kansas City, has nursed a rap career that began with glimpses of his whip-fast raps on "Questions" in the James Belushi-Tupac Shakur movie Gang Related. After years in obscurity, Tech and other Midwest rappers like Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Yukmouth and Dru Down broke through with attention-nabbing successes.
Tech sports crazy hairdos and tribal warpaint on his face that looks more punk and goth than rap and hip-hop, but there's substance behind the wild style: His song "Rain," about how being on the road steals his time away from his daughters, brought tears to the eyes of director Nick Cassavettes, who put four of Tech's songs in his movie Alpha Dog.
MURS (Making Underground Raw Shit) is a founding member of L.A.-by-way-of-Oakland hip-hop collective Living Legends, who have been staunchly fighting for the soul of hip-hop like knights in grimy armor, using sheer intelligence and humanity, with a fidelity to real hip-hop. MURS's solo discography is jam-packed with inspired stuff: a hilarious music video with WWE wrestler John Cena; mixing hip-hop and skating before Lupe Fiasco got around to it; a hot joint called "Lookin' Fly" with will.i.am that samples Al Hirt's "Green Hornet."
Both these MCs are slated for this summer 2009 Rock the Bells Tour in San Francisco alongside KRS-One, The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Common, Nas, RZA, Raekwon, Talib Kweli, Hi-Tek and others. Welcome to the wonderful world of hip-hop.
THE AWARENESS TOUR show starts 9pm Friday at The Planet Ultralounge, 2110 Fremont St., Monterey. $10/advance; $20/day of. 902-0762, 373-1449.
THE SICKOLOGY 101 TOUR show starts 3pm Sunday at Fox Theater, 241 S. Main St., Salinas. $25. 758-8459, www.vallitix.com.
