CD/LP/Track Review
Julia Hulsmann Trio: Imprint (2011)
Longevity is tough to maintain, in a time when artists largely need to work with a variety of projects to make a living, but there are increasing (and encouraging) signs of the value placed on chemistry and the kind of collective voice that evolves naturally, over time. German pianist Julia Hülsmann has maintained the same trio lineup for 15 years, though her early releases on the ACT label were augmented with vocalists and, in the case of Good Morning Midnight (2005), a larger ensemble that included horns, bandoneon and electronics. So, when Hülsmann was recruited by ECM for her label debut, The End of a Summer (2008), it represented a distillation back to her core trio, for an all-acoustic set, favoring a freer-thinking and more delicate approach to music that, with the exception of a lovely cover of Seal's "Kiss From a Rose," was written by either Hülsmann, bassist Marc Muellbauer or drummer Heinrich Köbberling. It was also clear that Manfred Eicher's involvementa rare hands-on producer who's an integral partner in nearly every record he releaseshad much to do with Hülsmann's trio making a significant collective leap.
Imprint represents a logical evolution for the trio, though there's one particularly significant change; both the writing and the playing is stronger, more outgoing than the largely introspective End Of A Summer. That's not to say the trio has lost its ability to communicate at levels so deep that even the approaching silence of a collective decay is empathically connected during gentler songs like Hülsmann's "A Light Left On," where the pianist and Muellbauer effortlessly share its thematic development. The pianist's "Juni" is another quiet composition of a darker-hued disposition, with Köbberling's brushes and Muellbauer's sparely chosen notes suggesting time, that ebbs and flows with Hülsmann's slowly unveiling melody. But even Imprint's more inward-looking material feels somehow stronger, more confident, as if the fundamental shift of End Of A Summer has led to a new place where the trio can more profoundly interact.
In another example of Eicher's overarching narrative through careful track sequencing, "Storm in a Teacup" concludes this trifecta of pieces that act as a calming transition between the more up-tempo "Grand Canyon"built around a repetitive pulse from Hülsmann, and supported by Köbberling's paradoxically delicate but fiery polyrhythmic supportand the pianist's "(Go And Open) The Door," the album's longest track and an indication of greater compositional complexity, as shifting meters lead to a middle section that features Muellbauer's muscular tone and unfailing melodic disposition. There's even a hint of swing on Köbberling's "Zahlen bitte."
Like End Of A Summer, overt virtuosity has little place on Imprint, but the equilateral triangle that forms this trio, with each side gently pushing and pullingnever for dominance but, perhaps, for emphasisis the unmistakable consequence of three players who, after being together for many years, have leapt to another plateau since joining ECM. With greater aplomb, and a more balanced blend of extroverted energy and the equal power of understatement, Imprint is a watershed recording for the egalitarian Hülsmann and her trio, and one of 2011's best piano trio recordings to date.
Track Listing: Rond Point; Grand Canyon; A Light Left On; Juni; Storm In A Teacup; (Go And Open) The Door; Kauf dir einent bunten Luftballon; Ritual; Lulu's Paradise; Ulmenwall; Zahlen bitte; Who's Next.
Personnel: Julia Hülsmann: piano; Marc Muellbauer: double-bass; Heinrich Köbberling: drums.

sc_serv crashing / stopping on debian 6 without error
Hello, I am having problem with my sc_serv process closing itself after some time. Is there anyway to debug why it does that?
Last line of my sc_serv.log was: code: Config: code: Transcoder logs: code: I had found out that there is a known issue with wrongly formed metadata (from transcoder). Is it because of bad id3 tags? If so, what should I filter from them? Any special characters cause that? Or maybe next public release is close and I should just wait? Thanks for your help. |

the DNAS and Transcoder both have issues depending on what is being sent or not as well as the size of the metadata (as an issue was found with sc_tran's handling of large metadata updates which can cause it to drop it's connection to the DNAS).
the only way to debug the issue is to enable _all_ of the debug logging output and then track back from the last lines if that is when things stop. if you are hitting issue #3 from http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?p=2790357#known then you would be getting a segfault just after the title is noted as happening (what you've posted is not making it clear if that is the case). the characters which generally cause issues are in the extended ascii range from 128 to 159, though for everything to be sorted needs DNAS and Transcoder update (the DNAS update will prevent the crash but it can still act weirdly / drop the Transcoder due to the Transcoder having it's issues). i'm trying to get a new DNAS release out soon but i cannot say a specific sate as it depends on how long it is going to take to fix the remaining issues which need to be fixed (along with the remaining documentation updates which need to be done). and a Transcoder update is further down the road from that. -daz |

Thread: Where to Farm Hides?
Jan 02 2012 01:48 PM #1
Where to Farm Hides?
So I've asked this question in the past, and there were lists on the forums at one points that gave good locations to farm the various tiers of hides, but I can't find that info anymore, so I thought I'd ask again, and see if we can't compile an up to date list.
Here's what I've been using:
T1: Bridgefields Wall & Puddifoot's Fields in the Shire
T2: Wolf den near the Weatherway in the Weather Hills, bears at Withywindle (Old Forest?), Barghests and Barrow-Hounds in the Barrow-Downs drop 2 hides per kill
T3: Ruins of Ost Durgonn, just north-east of the Last Bridge, the Hoar-Mantles in Kingsfell, North Downs and out by Esteldin drop 3 hides per kill
T4: Bear Den east of Ost Forod, Hoar-Mantles in MM. Drop 3 hides per kill
T5: Burnt Tor north-west of Echad Dunann, Hoar-Mantles in Forochel drop 3 hides per kill
T6 - Magnificent: Library just north of Dolven View
T6 - Extraordinary: Woods of Lothlorien
T7: Trum Dreng, Wargs in SE Mirkwood, Starkmoor
T8: Fang Point, Howling Wood, cows south-east of EaworthLast edited by Drogo1; Oct 17 2012 at 11:43 PM. Reason: Update with latest, add initial T8 spots

Re: Where to Farm Hides?
T1: Wolf Den near Celondim or Wolf Den near Michel Delving.
T2: I think all of the boars and bears East of Adso's Camp drop medium, plus the ruins with all of the bears near there.
T3: Wargs near Dol Dinen.
T4: Wolf Den in the Trollshaws (plus you can usually get the rare to spawn and get an Adamant shard out of it)Ayrolen-Anikosi-Anfribur-Ametrine-Amari-Ayaneth-Asparagus-Anayalos-Alyradal-Aloe-Asiago-Altanoin

Re: Where to Farm Hides?
- T5: Starkath in the Misty Mountains is by far the best place IMO (it's the warg area in the NE corner). There are no other MOBs there and it's a complete loop. There are several stealth wargs so if they are gray to you you might have to AOE to find them but once you learn where they are they always spawn in the same spots.
- T6: Extraordinary: What about the worm den in the Flaming Deeps? I can't remember if they drop hides. Far West side north of the exit to the Water Works. Again, there are no other MOBs here, only worms. Alternatively any beast den in Southern Eregion or Ednewaith should work.
- T7: Trum Drang in Dunland (NW area). Ox's (neutral), boars (threateners), and wolves (aggro) a-plenty, low concentration of non-beasts.

Re: Where to Farm Hides?
T6 - Magnificent. North of the Burnt Tor is good for this, especially the goats. Some goats are T6 hides, but most are T6.
Jan 02 2012 04:15 PM #5
Re: Where to Farm Hides?
T5 - There's a camp in Forochel full of saber tooths (except when not controlled by the enemy), I guess wargs are easier to kill, will have to check the place in Misty stated above. The place is just south of the second town or encampent in forochel. You get a deed, plus some rep items (not the 700xp ones though)
Jan 26 2012 01:02 PM #6
Re: Where to Farm Hides?
T7: Large Hides. The Turm Dreng area is definitely a good one since all of the mobs drop hides. Oxen sometimes drop 2 or 3. In the Starkmoor there are large numbers of oxen as well, plus a warg/wolf den. All are good for working on your beast-slayer deed as well!
. . . plus too many alts!

Re: Where to Farm Hides?
It seems as there was a change to quite a few sigs. so they drop three hides instead of two max. The aurochs just west of Esteldin drop up to three each and you can get stacks of Sturdy Hides very quickly.
For T7s, last time I checked the warg area in SE Mirkwood dropped large hides instead of extraordinary so it was a nice out of the way place to farm large hides.
Oh - and T2 another out of the way spot - bears at Withywindle drop Medium hides and there are a pretty large pool to slaughter if people are questing at the wolves den NW of Bree or the Bear den NW of the camp. When farming hides I tend to like places out of the way so I'm not interferring with those questing.Last edited by Fipiara; Jan 26 2012 at 01:55 PM.

Re: Where to Farm Hides?
anyone know a more specific area in Lothlorien woods for hides? i have tried all over and the mobs are spread out and less that 50% drops hides at all? the shrews and wolverines dont seem to drop hides at all
Oct 16 2012 09:47 AM #10
T2: Barghests and Barrow-Hounds in the Barrow-Downs drop 2 hides per kill, plus you're going to be there quite a while for those long (and boring) deeds so why not?
T3: the Hoar-Mantles in Kingsfell, North Downs and out by Esteldin drop 3 hides per kill. Fast stacks (kingsfell ones are lvl 27 and the ones by Esteldin are lvl 32)
T4: Again Hoar-Mantles, but this time in MM. Drop 3 hides per kill. (lvl 39)
T5: Hoar-Mantles in Forochel drop 3 hides per kill. (lvl 49 though, watch out for that)
has anybody tried the Goats in Eregion? or do those not drop T6 hides?
Oct 16 2012 10:03 AM #11
I hate the fact many of the places you lot want to farm are quest mobs and you're intent on decimating the populations making questing difficult or impossible: the wolf den in Trollshaws immediately springs to mind.

Anyone got ideas for Tier 8? Fang Point has been the only candidate I've seen so far, for the 70s.
Wherever there is an area concentrated with a certain type of enemy, there is usually a quest to accompany it. There is no working around it. If you want gatherers to stay out of these concentrated areas, then you are making gathering difficult or impossible.
Not to mention that neither questing or gathering have some sort of priority of rights over an area. What a civilized pair of players would do is talk to each other and decide to group up for mutual benefit, instead of fighting over kills.Yalras

There's some good spots for T8 hide. Howling Wood seems like the best spot so far IMO. The wargs respawn fast and it's a fairly large POI so you don't have to do much running around. Fangs Point is good too but there's only like 6 wargs there. I didn't notice how quick the respawn was. I don't like waiting so if they haven't respawned by the time you've killed them all, you're wasting time.

T8 hides - cows!
With the servers being down at the moment I can't check the correct name for the place, but I can try to describe. It is the field to the south-east of Eaworth with some lakes and herds of calves/cows/bulls. They are non-aggressive (only the Bulls are) and you can agro as many as you wish. It is a paradise for classes with good AoE skills (e.g. a captain on a war-steed in the Riddermark discipline ).Ishtarien - Captain 85

It has just about always been a bad idea to be your own patent and trademark lawyer. As of July 10, 2008 it became an even worse idea. The USPTO issued new rules about appealing a decision by a trademark examiner. The net result will likely be that, if the trademark application is not done right the first time, you are toast on appeal. The days of "I will file a trademark application myself, then hire a lawyer if things get difficult" are REALLY over now.
Hiring help is usually about priorities, not money. You have the money or can get the money if the asset is important enough. Trademarks build loyalty and good will.

A longer loan can beat the quick fix
Mortgages for up to 25 years now offer the best deals for homeowners, says Nic Cicutti
TENS of thousands of mortgage borrowers in Scotland face huge hikes in their monthly payments as their current fixed deals come to an end in the next few months. For many, the hunt will be on for the best available two or three-year fixed mortgage.
But some experts are urging homeowners to look instead at long-term fixed and tracker deals lasting up to 25 years. While longer-term deals used to be more expensive, they are now looking more affordable.
The new advice from experts comes as a Government-sponsored report by former Halifax Bank of Scotland chief executive Sir James Crosby says low-priced mortgages may be hard to find during the present credit crunch and the mortgage crisis could last until 2010.
For many years, experts have argued that short-term fixed mortgages for two or three years were the best option for borrowers, offering a combination of low costs and payment security for a limited period.
By switching every time a deal came to an end, borrowers could avoid redemption penalties and pay significantly less overall.
But new research from independent mortgage broker Savills Private Finance, which has offices in Glasgow and Edinburgh, suggests that long-term mortgages are now cheaper than short-term options when the full costs associated with remortgaging every two years over a 25-year term are taken into consideration. This is even more so the case in Scotland, where homebuyers are often excluded from the "free legal and valuation" deals available south of the border.
According to Savills, someone with a 200,000 interest-only loan could save 18,480 in interest over 25 years if they opted for a long-term fixed rate rather than remortgaging every two years.
This assumes they take Scarborough Building Society's deal fixed at 6.09% for 25 years, rather than going for First Direct's current fix at 5.98% and remortgaging onto a deal at the same rate and fee every two years.
The Scarborough deal has an arrangement fee of 995, while the fee on the First Direct deal is 1,998. You would pay 305,495 in total over 25 years with Scarborough and 323,975 with First Direct.
The figures assume that the arrangement fees are added to the loans. Legal costs are included in the First Direct mortgage deal, but not valuation fees or the final admin charge for closing a mortgage. These typically add another 300 every time someone switches between providers; potentially an extra 3,500 over a mortgage's lifetime.
Melanie Bien, a director at Savills Private Finance, says: "With the cost of two-year fixed rates in particular rising in the past year on the back of higher swap rates, longer-term fixes appear more attractive in comparison.
"The greatest advantage of fixing for a long period of time is that it removes the need to remortgage every couple of years which, with rising arrangement fees, can be expensive. Fees remain competitive on long-term fixes, plus you only have to pay them once.
"The downside of fixing for 25 years is that there are often hefty early repayment charges if you try to clear the mortgage early or switch to another deal."
Louise Cuming, head of mortgages at the price comparison site Moneysupermarket.com, says: "My argument against long-term fixed rates has never really been about rates, in the sense that none of us have a crystal ball and know what we might be paying several years from now.
"It's more down to the fact that redemption penalties on long-term deals are fixed for long periods of time, sometimes 10 years and even longer. This meant that if you were coming out of a relationship, for instance, and needed to sell the property, you were faced with a large charge when repaying the mortgage.
"That said, Manchester Building Society charges 6.25% for 30 years but you are only tied in for 120 months, so the straitjacket is not as tight as it was.
"Besides, it is getting to the point where some arrangement fees on mortgages are running to thousands of pounds, which are then added to the loan. If you pay off the mortgage early, even if there is no penalty, you are still paying for the cost of the arrangement fee in the final bill. So I'm less convinced by my original argument than I used to be."
Other long-term deals in the market include Nationwide Building Society's 25-year fixed rate, priced at 6.53%. The deal comes with a 599 reservation fee and a 3% redemption penalty in the first 10 years.
For those more interested in a shorter-term fix, Nationwide's 10-year deal is priced at 6.39%, while a five-year option is set at 6.18%. All have the same reservation fee and 3% redemption charge.
A Nationwide spokeswoman says: "One of the things we recognise is that longer fixed rates are not for everyone.
"However, they do offer long-term stability for people who know that whatever happens in the outside world their mortgage rate will never change. This can be useful for people who work in industries where incomes do not grow as rapidly as others."
Ray Boulger, senior technical manager at John Charcol, independent mortgage brokers, agrees that long-term mortgage deals may make sense in the current climate. But he prefers so-called 'lifetime trackers': mortgages pegged at a fixed point above the prevailing Bank of England base rate throughout their lifetime.
Boulger says: "I have one of these mortgages myself. This time last year we were selling lifetime trackers with a differential of about 0.4% above the base rate.
"Today, the cheapest rate is a new deal from Woolwich, at bank base rate plus 0.69%. There is a fee of 995 and there are free legals. However, it is only available on a loan-to-value (LTV) of 60%. For LTVs of 90%, the Woolwich lifetime tracker rate is bank base rate plus 1.59%.
"For those on higher LTVs, the next cheapest is an HSBC lifetime tracker set at bank base rate plus 0.79%. This has a 599 booking fee plus additional charges.
"When you consider the possibility of rates falling further some time in the coming year, plus the point of not having to refinance your mortgage every two years, lifetime trackers look very good."
Boulger also tips Nationwide's lifetime tracker, priced at 0.98% above base rates.
Although this is more expensive than some deals, it comes with a so-called 'drop-lock' option which allows borrowers to switch to another of its fixed mortgages at any time without penalty.

The new NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division III national poll was released Tuesday, and the Berry College men —who were not previously ranked — broke into the poll at No. 17 in this week's rankings.
The Vikings celebrated their new ranking with a 3-1 win at Reinhardt Universityon Tuesday.
Ben Ortman tallied twice to lead the Vikings, who improved to 7-0. Berry has posted four shutouts this season and has outscored its opposition 16-3 overall.
Kyle Fitting scored a header off a corner kick to put Berry ahead, 1-0, in the ninth minute.
The Vikings added a second goal on a counter-attack in the 39th minute. Ortman was credited with the score off assists from Caleb Lucas and goalkeeper Logan Hill.
On the scoring play, Hill made one of his seven saves and then threw an outlet pass to Lucas, who found Ortman for a breakaway.
In the 44th minute, Angel Adame scored for the Eagles. Adame found open space inside the box and fired a shot past Hill, halving Berry's lead, 2-1.
In the 59th minute, Ortman got his second goal. He headed a free kick off the crossbar past goalkeeper Matt Amis (five saves) to give Berry the 3-1 lead.
Berry out-shot the Eagles, 15-14. Both teams managed eight shots on goal. The Eagles earned seven corner kicks to three for Berry.
The Vikings improved to 7-0 on the season; Reinhardt, an NAIA team, dropped to 2-5-2.
Berry travels to play at Washington & Jefferson (Penn.) this Saturday.
The Southern Athletic Association announced the men's soccer Players of the Week for games played September 10-16. Berry's Christian Fulbright won the offensive award.
Fulbright scored two overtime game-winners this week. The Vikings beat Covenant at home 1-0 in double OT. He then scored again against Emory on Saturday in the 2-1 OT win for Berry. His timely scoring propelled him to the SAA Offensive Player of the Week honors.
Alysa Daniel led Georgia Northwestern with nine kills in the Lady Cats' loss to Covenant College Monday night at The R.A.C., Rossville Athletic Complex.
Georgia Northwestern fell by scores of 20-25, 25-17, 14-25, 18-25.
"These six young women have to play a different style of game than they were previously used to," said GNTC head coach Carrie Powell. "This team has to multi-task." In what could be described as a rebuilding year, Kristine Huskey is the Lady Cats' (1-4) tallest player at five-foot-seven. Alysa Daniel is 5-1.
"We have some leapers with some big arms," said Powell. "We are finding ways to pull out games here and there against much bigger competition. It's preparing us really well for colleges on our level."
Georgia Northwestern competes in the N JCAA's Region XVII. The Lady Cats (1-4) will host Bryan College at The R.A.C. next Monday at 5:30 p.m.
In the first home match in the Winthrop-King Centre for 2012 the Lady Hawks got back on their winning ways with a quick dispatching of visiting Piedmont, 3-0.
Shorter (7-1, 1-1 Gulf South) came out aggressive and sent the Lady Lions home in a match that was slightly over an hour. The match was played on the same day the NCCAA released their newest standings that show the Lady Hawks at the top of the list as the No. 1 team in the Burbridge Power Rating.
Jasmine Crook added 16 kills on the evening to bring her season total to 115 through eight matches. Jordan Corder recorded 36 assists and 12 digs. Both were team highs.
The attack game was strong for Shorter as the team hit .284 for the match that included Crook (.444) and Anna Graham (.333) as the leaders of the team.
Megan Pepe served up five aces, while Piedmont was only able to tally two as a team.
When asked about the crowd, head coach Jon Moseley had the following… "The crowd was awesome. The level of support we receive from the student body and the energy they provide amazes us."
With the news on being the No. 1 team in the NCCAA… "Everyone is contributing and the success has come from being a true team and a testament to our depth. We feel honored to be involved with the National Christian College Athletic Association as it is a great fit for us as we have many Christian leaders on our roster."
Next up, West Alabama (8-3, 2-1 Gulf South) will come to town on Friday for a 7 pm start time on the court of the Winthrop-King Centre.
Georgia's Aaron Murray was named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works team on Tuesday, one of 11 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) players nationwide honored for their outstanding community service record. Murray, a 6-1, quarterback from Tampa, Fla., is the Bulldogs' nation-leading 14th Good Works Team honoree since the award's inception in 1992.
"This is an unbelievable honor," Murray said. "Coach Richt really stresses giving back to the community, especially here in Athens. It's such a great community that gives all our University of Georgia teams amazing support. It's always great to give back with trips to camps we visit in the summer, hospitals throughout the year or other organizations that make a difference."

GRF One Health Summit 2012
One Health - One Planet - One Future
Risks and Opportunities
19-22 February 2012 in Davos, Switzerland
The Integrative Health Risk Management Perspective:
Today's human health management requires to be dealt with from a holistic "One Health" perspective that acknowledges the systemic interconnections of human, animal and environmental health in close relation with food safety and security. Only an integrative approach will ensure sustainable health management in an era of climate change, resource depletion, land degradation, food insecurity and development challenges. Knowledge sharing, education, improved governance, corporate responsibility and dedicated investments will be key.
Integrative components of One Health thus are:
- Human Health
- Animal Health
- Environmental Health
- Food Safety & Security
- Agriculture
Join top experts, leaders and pioneers from international organizations, public authorities, insurance and health services, the pharmaceutical and food industry, science, and civil society exploring innovative pathways of global integrative health risk management through the One Health perspective. Do not miss this opportunity for networking, experience exchange and the acquisition of first-hand information and join the keynote lectures, panel debates, special sessions, as well as a poster exhibition.
Global Health – New Challenges in Times of Global Change
In an era of rapid global change - characterised by the depletion of natural resource, energy and food insecurity, land degradation and drought, natural, environmental and technological disasters or the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services - public health is globally faced with complex new risks. Modern lifestyle choices, for example, are observed to trigger asthma and cardiovascular diseases and increased allergies. Other prominent examples are given by emerging zoonoses such as the avian and, more recently, the so-called swine influenza, which demonstrate pathogen interference between human beings, livestock and wildlife. Climate change will further influence vector-borne diseases. The use of soya, corn and maize for increased meat and biofuel production increases the price for staple food, and furthermore leads to food insecurities, malnutrition and hunger, even up to political instabilities in resource limited countries. Economic and urban growth, resource depletion, and losses in biodiversity and ecosystem goods and services deeply change the interaction patterns between human civilization, livestock and wildlife. These challenges constitute a serious threat to global sustainability and prosperity.
The One Health Approach – Call for Cooperation
Conjoint health related trajectories, as outlined above, must, however, not only have negative effects as they also offer ample opportunities for combating multiple threats at the direct intersect of human, animal and environmental health, food safety and security. For instance, cancer triggered by environmental pollution might be detected at an early stage via animal health monitoring, as oncological cells spread at a higher speed in an animal's body with lower life expectancy than a human being's. Given the interwoven nature of human, animal and environmental health, medical doctors, veterinarians, environmental scientists, farmers as well as experts on food and pharmaceutical production have information beneficial and complementary to the knowledge of the others to share. A growing community of experts thus argues that today's health issues require to be dealt with from a holistic "One Health" perspective that acknowledges the systemic interconnections of human, animal and ecosystem health as an integrative management of risks and opportunities and especially engages the pharmaceutical and food industry.

Plumas County District Attorney Jeff Cunan announced Tuesday, Dec. 8, that he would not seek a third term in office.
The announcement ended months of speculation whether the two-term incumbent would run. The decision leaves just one candidate, Assistant District Attorney Dave Hollister, in the field.
Cunan said he was troubled by the lack of candidates. "Democracy demands choices, and unless the public fields an alternative candidate … it will have no choice for the election of our next district attorney."The deadline to file for candidacy is March 17, 2010.
Cunan said he intended to resume a private law practice when his current term ends in December 2010. He envisions a practice that includes criminal, family, government and environmental law.
He said he was motivated by "local attorney attrition" and "the opportunity to broaden my legal career." While he indicated he was open to working as a public defender, his real interest is in providing "quality, conscientious" family law representation.
Cunan is in negotiations with the Plumas County Museum Association to lease the historic Goodwin law office building on Jackson Street, long the office of attorney David Adrian.
If all works out, Cunan hopes to restore the building's interior to the style of the 1860s. Museum director Scott Lawson said as far as he could determine the office was built in 1859.
Cunan was first elected in 2002 when, as assistant district attorney, he unseated incumbent James Reichle. He ran unopposed for re-election in 2006.
In announcing his decision not to run again, Cunan outlined what he considered his achievements while in office. "Our office is characterized by efficiency, with one of the best success records in California."
He said he was "particularly proud" of his office's crime prevention work. Establishing a Unified Family Court, fighting government corruption and maintaining a tough stance against methamphetamine traffickers were among the other high points Cunan enumerated.

Prosecutors to seek death penalty in 'Grim Sleeper' case
Lonnie Franklin Jr.
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against the man suspected in the "Grim Sleeper" serial killings, a deputy district attorney announced today.
A jury will be asked to recommend a death sentence for 58-year-old Lonnie Franklin Jr. if he is convicted, Deputy District Attorney Beth Silverman said. Franklin has been indicted on 10 counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
Franklin, a one-time city employee, has been locked up since his July 7, 2010, arrest.
He is charged with killing the women, many of them prostitutes, and dumping their remains in alleys and trash bins around South Los Angeles between 1985 and 2007.
Franklin was initially dubbed the "Grim Sleeper" due to a large gap between groups of killings, but detectives said they now don't think there was a long delay between murders.
A former city sanitation worker and onetime Los Angeles Police Department garage attendant, Franklin was known in his South Los Angeles neighborhood as a backyard mechanic who often helped with residents' auto problems.
His alleged victims were black women who were usually sexually assaulted before their deaths, police said.
Authorities have said that one particular handgun was used in many of the killings.
Franklin was linked to the killings after his son was arrested in 2008 on gun and drug charges.
The younger Franklin submitted a DNA sample, which was connected to the alleged "Grim Sleeper's" DNA.
During an OurWeekly interview back in November of last year, "800" Task Force member Det. Bill Fallon suggested that more victims of suspected "Grim Sleeper" mass murderer Lonnie David Franklin, Jr. might materialize, adding to the 10 already ascribed to one of the most prolific serial killings in Los Angeles crime history.
Although Lonnie Franklin, the defendant in the Grim Sleeper murders that plagued South Los Angeles over the past two decades, has been in custody for more than three months, the "800" Task Force charged with solving the carnage is still embroiled in the investigation, according to Bill Fallon, one of the eight officers assigned to the investigative unit. The detective granted Our Weekly an interview in between treks to Mississippi and Northern California to tie up loose ends in this ever-expanding multiple homicide case.
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Eight more women may have been killed by the 'Grim Sleeper,' an alleged serial killer charged with killing 10 women in South Los Angeles as far back as the mid 1980s.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck plans to discuss the case and release images of possible victims at a 4 p.m. news conference.
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—A grand jury indictment was unsealed today against the suspected "Grim Sleeper'' serial killer, who is accused of murdering 10 women and trying to kill an 11th victim in a crime spree that stretched over more than two decades.
The indictment, returned Wednesday and unsealed this afternoon by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Patricia M. Schnegg, contains the same charges filed last summer against Lonnie David Franklin Jr.
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—About 20 women depicted in 180 photos retrieved from the home of the "Grim Sleeper'' serial-killer suspect have been identified by detectives, and most are alive and well, police said today.
Police released 180 photos Thursday in hopes of identifying the people in them and ensuring they were not possible victims of the "Grim Sleeper.''
The photos were found in the South Los Angeles home of suspect Lonnie David Franklin Jr.

AREVA's objective is to combine innovative solutions to optimize small-scale power plant cost for its customers and to reduce construction time. This new concept of biomass plant also aims to improve upstream technologies for multi-fuel acceptance and higher availability.
A number of partners have already signed on to the project along with AREVA, including SITA, leading industrial operator specialist in waste treatment and recovery, as well as R&D centers the French CEA and the German Karlsruhe Institute of Technology..
Bioenergy will play a key role in renewable heat and power production, contributing up to 14% of the European energy mix in 2020. The global market for biomass capacity should grow by 6.8 GWe per year by 2015, with nearly 1.8 GWe per year in each of AREVA's target markets.* KIC InnoEnergy is a leading Knowledge and Innovation Community (KIC). It is part of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology fostering research and development activities in the field of sustainable energy.

Political satires are a tough sell on the big screen. Films such as "Wag the Dog" and "Primary Colors" never came close to the genius that fueled Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" in 1964. But writer/director Armando Iannucci's first feature film, "In the Loop," is on the right track because it watches Washington spin and sell the insanities of war.
Presumably, the film takes place just prior to the Iraqi invasion. Simon Foster, the British minister of international development (Tom Hollander, "Valkyrie"), has given an interview to the BBC in which he states, "War is unforeseeable." The comment enrages Malcolm Tucker, the prime minister's director of communications, (Peter Capaldi) who ships Foster and his neophyte assistant off to Washington to make amends with the State Department.
Because Foster is a dove, he's targeted by Assistant Secretary of Diplomacy Karen Clarke (Mimi Kennedy) and her former lover/pacifist, four-star Lt. Gen. George Miller (James Gandolfini, aka Tony Soprano). Hopes of using him in their anti-war movement are dashed when pro-war State Department official Linton Barwick (David Rasche,"Burn Before Reading") digs up some dirt. He's the guy who uses a live grenade as a paperweight.
Having said all that, "In the Loop" is seriously funny. Razor-sharp dialogue is delivered by a master class of actors. Favorite moments are scenes between Gandolfini and Kennedy, whose intimate past history is evident in their incredible body language. Hollander demonstrates serious star power while he tackles a major range of emotions. Capaldi's relentless bile-spewing profanity was a tad over-the-top, so rapid-fire I missed much of it.
As Iannucci explores the lunacy of pettiness existing among technocrats within government circles, he spares no one. Liberals and conservatives are just as smarmy. And never does he allow the veneer of comedy belie what lies beneath. War, no matter where or why it's manufactured, always takes a grievous toll.

I hung up my priestly things and came home after a week's retreat.
Inside the door, I said my hellos, reached into the closet and put on my practice robe.
I said, "This is no reflection on you, but this is what I must do."
He said, "I know. So I did a little bit and then left the rest for you."
I sorted the laundry to calm the eye.
Ran the vacuum to clear the mind.
Mopped the kitchen free of stubborn stickiness.
Freshened the fish tank. Changed the towels. Emptied the trash.
Tomorrow I think I'll clean out the rain gutters.
I know my place.
I know the way.
I am home and happy.
Having the good life is simple when you practice the one you have.

Multiphysics in the Design of Lithium-Ion Batteries
June 6, 2013 12:37 pm | by Tim Studt | CommentsNew technologies, new materials, and more sophisticated modeling systems have made lithium-ion (Li-ion)-based systems the battery of choice for many designers looking to implement high-energy advanced electric power systems. For these systems, Li-ion systems have replaced nickel-metal hydride systems.
Swiss Army CFD
June 6, 2013 12:31 pm | by Paul Livingstone and Kerem Karakoc, Mechanical Designer, and Eric Chen, Structural Engineer, Kawa Engineering Ltd. | CommentsThe first successful modeling of fluid and gas flows was accomplished by the aerospace industry, which recognized the advantages such understanding could have for successful aircraft design. Now, the once exotic application of Navier-Stokes equations for the modeling of flows is performed on just about anything, from the world's largest hydropower plant to a mundane rear-view mirror on a car.
A Symbolic Release
June 6, 2013 12:26 pm | by Paul Livingstone | CommentsA number of major software companies are approaching milestones typically associated with far older industries. Microsoft, for instance, will celebrate its 40th anniversary in a couple of years. Apple will observe the same anniversary just a year later. Maplesoft, a Canadian-based maker of symbolic computation and mathematical software for scientists and engineers, is younger than these veteran companies, but not by a lot.
Recent Advancements in Polymer Characterization
June 6, 2013 12:17 pm | by Ed Bouvier, Manager, Advanced Materials Research Group, Mia Summers, Principal Applications Chemist, and Michael O'Leary, Principal Scientist, Chemical Materials Business Operations, Waters Corp., Milford, Mass. | CommentsInnovation in liquid chromatography instrument design and column technology over the last decade has led to substantial improvements in chromatographic throughput and resolution. This has been achieved by enabling the system to achieve pressures up to 15,000 psi, reducing the system contributions to peak broadening, and utilizing well-packed columns containing sub-2-micron particles.
PEMs Stack Up to the Competition
June 6, 2013 11:57 am | by Paul Livingstone | CommentsThe element hydrogen offers hope and headaches in equal measure. The most abundant element on the planet is also one of the most attractive for use as fuel. But because it is also the lightest element, it does not naturally occur in pure form. Hydrogen is so crucial in manufacturing, energy supply, and scientific research that new methods to improve production are being eagerly sought.
Vacuum Pump Evolution
June 6, 2013 11:51 am | by Paul Livingstone | Pfeiffer Vacuum | CommentsVacuum pumps are the veteran workhorses of the laboratory, providing the mechanical force for a host of research-related tasks that require precise atmospheric control. Over the last 100 years, a number of well-established pump designs have come to dominate the market. And for decades, many varieties of pumps have seen just incremental changes. This is not for lack of competition.
Software Takes Driver's Seat in Test Systems
June 6, 2013 11:45 am | by Adri Kruger, Applications Engineer, National Instruments, Austin, Texas, and Paul Livingstone | CommentsFor over 50 years, test engineers have taken a PC-based approach to automating standalone instrumentation. With so much investment tied up in capital assets for test equipment, engineers and management teams need reassurance that they can satisfy current and future testing needs. This is why engineers and scientists often stay with a known software platform for many years, even after it's become obsolete.
From Legos to Medical Devices
June 6, 2013 11:38 am | by Lindsay Hock | CommentsIn seventh grade, now 25-year-old Nikolai Begg, 2013 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize winner, was assigned a general project for English class where he had to pick a topic and write a report. That year, in life science class he took a great interest in this field, choosing to write his report on surgical robots. Able to interview surgeons using surgical robots and engineers designing them, Begg discovered an incredible field.
Team Effort
April 24, 2013 2:16 pm | by Paul Livingstone | CommentsAdvances in microscopy and fundamental science are closely intertwined. Without prior understanding of the basis for research, the tools of microscopy are useless. Without microscopy, an understanding of how materials, chemistry, or life behave(s) at the molecular and atomic level cannot be discovered.
A Close Eye on Nanotechnology
April 24, 2013 12:30 pm | by Lindsay Hock | CommentsNanotechnology typically describes any material, device, or technology where feature sizes are smaller than 100 nanometers in dimension. However, this new and uncharted direction in research provides a large spark for new product and drug delivery development. To achieve these discoveries, scientists must rely on specialized instruments and materials to drive their experiments and analysis.
The Right Touch for Control
April 24, 2013 12:19 pm | by Paul Livingstone | CommentsWhen not properly controlled or monitored, a scientific instrument is of little practical use. Developers of scientific instrumentation are aware of this, and invest considerable time and money ensuring that users can properly achieve the results promised by the instrument's design parameters.
Remote Sensing to the Next Level
April 24, 2013 12:12 pm | by Dick Merk and Thomas J Tague Jr., PhD, Bruker Optics, Billerica, Mass. | CommentsBruker Corporation has coupled highly efficient interferometer technology and proprietary chemometric methods for automatic identification and imaging of chemical species present. The HI 90 hyperspectral imager rapidly detects molecules over a large field of regard (FOR) in seconds and provides both spatial and spectral analysis of the FOR.
IX3 Enters the Microscope Realm
April 24, 2013 12:06 pm | by Paul Livingstone | CommentsA new architecture for Olympus' IX line gives users flexibility and optics module makers a new development platform. Invented in 1850, the inverted microscope has been a laboratory stalwart, giving researchers a direct and simple platform for optically viewing samples. The concept is simple: By fixing the sample stage and allowing the optics equipment to adjust, the user has more control over the object under analysis.

I'm so glad it is finally the holiday season! Happy Holidays to all! I leave you with a new picture of Dillon, and a picture of one of the many trees in our home. I know it's only Nov. 4th, but don't hate on the fact that I love Christmas a little more than the average person. :) Enjoy.
Isn't he adorable?!?!
Our Reece's Rainbow tree :)
