Just released at Musikmesse 2011
Information & specs here:
Just released at Musikmesse 2011
Information & specs here:
On one hand, it looks pretty awesome and it's always cool when Roland anounces something new. On the other hand, it looks like Roland just slapped their digital technology on their Jupiter name. Still looks pretty interesting.
Stay Crikey and Check out my sounds .
Not much interest in new products from Musikmesse I guess.
This one is on our site now as well.
Thanks Justin.
Looks like Roland hasn't given out much info yet... lots of "TBD" listed in the specs.
I have a Kronos on the way but I intend on picking up a Jupiter 80 sometime this summer.
I'd like to see a REAL analog synth from Roland... How about a Jupeter 81?
Stay Crikey and Check out my sounds .
The original Jupiter 8 sold for around $5000.00 in 1981 money so accounting for inflation alone a "new" Jupiter would be well over $12,000.00 in 2011 money. And that's IF you could find the exact same components and labor at the same relative cost as you could in 1981 - which you can't. Kinda makes the $8000.00 ones on FleaBay look like a realtive bargain, eh?
Some components used in the original are simply no longer available - RoHS anyone? So Roland would have to substitute modern equivalents - which means that folks would still complain that it's not a real Jupiter because of the different components. And how many people would line up to pay $12,000.00 for a "modern equivalent"? Not many I'd wager. Any takers?
As concerns the Jupiter 80 I'm with you synthologist!
In this day and age, it has become the norm to be jaded and cynical.
I'm a little "green" and cynical about *some* things but NOT the Jupiter 80.
Word (or rumour) has it that a LOT of people are willing to wait 30 days longer for the JP 80than they are for the Kronos! And the JP is NOT a workstation!
Roland read my mind almost to the letter about WHAT kind of synth would be VERY useful in the now.It's a little creepy but this is what I've always wanted!
Just ONE caveat,but a *small* one. No MIDI tracking but I'm SURE Roland will address that somewhere down the line. The Jupiter is JUST the beginning!
Not sure where your getting you info from, but using harmony central and keyboard magazines forums for my first basis, I would say what I saw disputes this. When I do a simple search for the Kronos on Keyboard magazines forums I see threads with 10-15 pages of discussion and lust. When I do searches for the Jupiter 80, a few threads with a few comments not even more than a few pages and most not even more than one page. I also went into Guitar Center in Hollywood, one of the largest keyboard retailers in the world, and spoke with a few sales people and a keyboard dept manager, very little buzz over the Jupiter 80, on the other hand, the keyboard dept manager said the buzz and requests for preorder info on the Kronos is very, very high according to him. I was in West LA music another huge, huge music store and spoke for awhile with david barker a manager who told me people are asking all the time about the Kronos and he hasn't had one request yet for the Jupiter 80. Looking at the forums on a few other music/keyboard sites, you can find long multiple page threads on the Kronos, nothing near that on the Jupiter 80. I also called Sam Ash in New York as well as spoke to the people at the CG in LA. The preoder requests and info for the Jupiter 80 is almost non existent. My local stores here , GC, Sam Ash and two mom and pop shops also confirmed the exact same thing. Now granted these are different boards you can't compare head to head, but everything I've read, heard and seen seems to contradict the buzz over the Jupiter 80 versus the Kronos.

this is a hell of device. you can do wonders with this. i'm still long way to go with this kind of gear, still using dubturbo and hope to move forward soon.
Why didn't they just make it a full 88 keys?
I have the Jupiter 80 , and love it!! I also have the KRONOS and it is great too. Very different beasts, but both are great boards, and both packed with features. Love the 76 synth keys on the Jupiter 80. Very well built synth, solid. Sounds amazing! Looks great too!
Roland Jupiter 80, Korg KRONOS, Yamaha XF7, Roland GAIA, IMac i7, Komplete 8,Papen, Arturia etc.
So far, none of the music stores around here carry the Jupiter-80... nor plan to. It's unfortunate, but understandable in this economy.

Hi, we are using ftp:inbound-channel-adapter with poller (Spiring Integration 2.0.4.RELEASE):
epoFilenameFilter bean is implementation of FileListFilter. Processed files are not deleted from FTP server so we check for new files by their filenames (they contain timestamps, latest processed timestamp is stored). There are other integration elements for processing of downloaded files but they shouldn't be important here. This all works under Tomcat 6, loaded from web.xml of SWF-JSF-webapplication.Code:<int-ftp:inbound-channel-adapter channel="epoSourceChannel" local-directory="${ftp.localFolder}" session-factory="ftpSessionFactory" remote-directory="${ftp.remoteFolder}" cache-sessions="false" filter="epoFilenameFilter"> <int:poller max-messages-per-poll="-1" cron="0 * 2-22 * * *" /> </int-ftp:inbound-channel-adapter>
Here is the problem. Sometimes (and lately - more often, like once a week) this ftp:inbound-channel-adapter together with poller silently stops. This looks like this: every minute epoFilenameFilter logs information about processing of files. And then at one moment it just stops - logs from filter (and of course from next elements in processing chain) do not come up more. I've set DEBUG logging level and added LOG statement specifically in the beginning of filter method - so each filtering log message was prepended by "connected" message from FTP session factory The last messages were:
And after that integration beans do not send any log messages at all. From what I see it looks like either an infinite loop somewhere between session creation and calling of filter method or like simultaneous fail of both ftp inbound adapter and poller - but this can as well be far away from truth.Code:2012-02-05 18:17:00,053 DEBUG [task-scheduler-5] org.springframework.integration.ftp.session.DefaultFtpSessionFactory: Connected to server [ftp.server.com:21] 2012-02-05 18:17:00,591 INFO [task-scheduler-5] com.example.integration.epoimport.filter.EpoFilenameFilter: Filtering files... 2012-02-05 18:17:00,593 INFO [task-scheduler-5] com.example.integration.epoimport.filter.EpoFilenameFilter: Looking for ePO from 05.02.2012 17:56:37... 2012-02-05 18:17:00,598 INFO [task-scheduler-5] com.example.integration.epoimport.filter.EpoFilenameFilter: Number of new ePO: 0 2012-02-05 18:18:00,061 DEBUG [task-scheduler-3] org.springframework.integration.ftp.session.DefaultFtpSessionFactory: Connected to server [ftp.server.com:21]
The moment is rather arbitrary and I can't find any relations to any actions/movements in application (and it's not at 22 o'clock ). For example, that happened at 16:00, 08:48 and at 18:18. Logs contain no other errors, application continues to work as usual.
Are there any suggestions as what to look at additionally to find out real cause of problem?

I have been a substitute teacher for the past 8 years at the elementary level. I have done several long term assignments. These long term assignments have been in Kindergarten, First Grade, Second Grade, Third Grade,Fifth Grade and in a Sub Seperate Special Needs Classroom / Grades 3, 4 and 5.
I feel that it is important to keep the children engaged. I always try to relate the topic area to everyday experiences in order to keep the children's attention. I have found that children enjoy talking about their own experiences as well. They always want to share!! Being a substitute teacher, I try to always focus on the postive. I let the children know my expectations in the beginning of the day. From there, we will take breaks as needed to discuss making good choices vs. making bad choices. I let the children know that if they make good choices in life, good things will happen. I usually try to leave a few minutes at the end of the day to play a game with the children who made good choices throughout the day!
Yet to be added
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration / Accounting.
I worked as an accountant for four years and then I had my first son. My son was born prematurely with special needs. I needed to take several years off from work to take care of him. Seven years later, I had my second son. When my second son went to school and with my first son in an excellent special needs program, I needed to find a job with mother's hours. I decided to try substitute teaching. Eight years later, I'm still subbing. I love my job! It is so rewarding to me when the children see me and they are excited that I am going to be their teacher for the day. I started making my own worksheets. In a pinch, I like to be prepared. Teachers that I have subbed for really seem to like my worksheets. I hope that you do too!

Since Apple launched the iPhone 5, the new iPad and the iPad mini, we haven't seen a ton of add-on products—you know, the ones with the Lightning connector. Of course, there are a few out there, but it hasn't been the flood like what we've seen in the past.
That's good for Phillips, who is swooping in to claim a portion of that market with its new Urban Micro System (DCM3155). Designed to fit almost anywhere, this all-in-one audio system works with Apple's new lightning connector.
Other features include a CD player, FM radio, and up to 550-watts RMS of power. It also looks really cool, which makes sense since it's helming a line of other smaller Lightning-capable docks.
There's no other word on the model, including any pricing info. However, Philips does plan to start selling the DCM3155 sometime this month.
The woven acoustic screen is now available in a retractable, masking version.
Centralized home control and automation plus boatload of A/V options including dropdown theater screen revitalize 12K-square-foot home.
Should TV manufacturers offer dumbed-down TVs that focus on image quality rather than apps?
Say hello to home control in this high-tech palace, circa 2006.

Fat Girl (À ma soeur!) [DVD]
Director : Catherine Breillat
Screenplay : Catherine Breillat
MPAA Rating : NR
Year of Release : 2001
Stars : Anaïs Reboux (Anaïs Pingot), Roxane Mesquida (Elena Pingot), Libero De Rienzo (Fernando), Arsinée Khanjian (Mother), Romain Goupil (François Pingot), Laura Betti (Fernando's Mother)
This review discusses some aspects of the film's ending that contain spoilers. If you haven't seen the film and don't want any hints about plot development, you might want to see it first before continuing.
With Fat Girl (À ma soeur!), controversial French provocateur Catherine Breillat returned to the subject with which she began her cinematic odyssey nearly 30 years earlier: adolescent female sexuality. She started on the trail of infamy in France when she was 17 and published her scandalous first novel, L'homme Facile, but her international notoriety reach full-blown status with her 1998 film Romance, a feminist parable about a woman's unsatiated sexual desires that was part of a wave of mainstream European productions to incorporate hard-core sexual imagery. There is no hard-core imagery in Fat Girl, but the film is no less provocative, and how you view Breillat's frank attitude toward sexuality—as cynical exploitation or brave exploration—will largely determine your response to her films.
Although sex is a central component of Fat Girl, it is really a story of sibling rivalry. The two protagonists are a pair of sisters, 12-year-old Anaïs (Anaïs Reboux) and 15-year-old Elena (Roxane Mesquida). In one scene late in the film that visually recalls Ingmar Bergman's Persona (1966), Elena says that she and Anaïs are nothing alike and that no one would ever think they were sisters. In a sense, she is absolutely right, especially in terms of their physical appearance: Where Anaïs is chubby and awkward, Elena is lithe and beautiful.
But, this sibling dichotomy goes beyond a simple physical distinction in that each girl's physique inform her outlook on life. That is, because Elena is attractive and sought after by men, she views sex in a romanticized light. She can afford to do this because her opportunities are extensive, and holding out only makes her that much more attractive and desirable. Sex and love and romance and passion are all synonymous for Elena, therefore in Breillat's worldview she is the fool. Anaïs, on the other hand, has a darker view of sexuality, one that might be termed "practical" if it weren't so despondent. Instead of romanticizing sex, especially the fabled "first time," Anaïs sees it as nothing more than a physical act that only has as much meaning as you ascribe to it. She even goes so far as to declare that her first time will be with someone she doesn't even love so that she can get it out of the way and move on to someone she does love, a proclamation that, by the end of the film, turns out to have been eerily prescient.
The story takes place in a seaside town in the south of France where Anaïs and Elena are on holiday with their parents, a self-absorbed mother (Arsinée Khanjian) and workaholic father (Romain Goupil). Anaïs and Elena are always together because their parents won't let Elena out alone; the unspoken assumption is that they know she is sexually desirable and having her unattractive kid sister with her all the time will discourage would-be suitors. This plan doesn't work because Elena meets Fernando (Libero De Rienzo), a sexually experienced Italian law student who wastes no time crawling through Elena's window at night and trying to coax her into sex.
The easy criticism of Fat Girl is that it's yet another dig at crude male sexuality, with Fernando playing the part of the guy who'll say anything to get laid. The fact that Elena is a 15-year-old virgin makes his often aggressive (at least rhetorically) sexual advances seem that much more obscene. Yet, Breillat doesn't allow the dynamics to be that simple. While Elena plays up the part of the virginal prize to be coerced, there is plenty to suggest that she wants it as bad as Fernando. Thus, she is merely role-playing as society has taught her. She wants to give it up, but not too easily, and she and Fernando are simply going through the motions of a well-rehearsed dance. Men and women may view sex differently, but they're not ignorant of how the other person sees it, even if they willfully draw the shades over their own eyes.
This doesn't stop Elena from becoming emotionally attached, though, which is exactly why Anaïs proclaimed that her first time will be with someone she doesn't love. That way, she doesn't risk heartbreak. Unfortunately, though, that's a truly despondent view, one that admits defeat before even stepping in the ring. It's a deeply disturbing cynicism, particularly coming from the mouth of a preternaturally mature 12-year-old. Yet, just as Elena role-plays her good-girl virginity, there are suggestions that Anaïs is also role-playing, perhaps to compensate for her physical appearance, especially in light of her beautiful older sister. In one scene, Anaïs blissfully playacts a poignant tug-of-war love affair in a swimming pool in which a metal ladder and wooden pier represent competing lovers, each of which she tempts and kisses—in other words, like everyone else, she wants to be wanted. When Anaïs cries in bed while Elena loses her virginity, it's hard to know whether those are tears of sadness or tears of envy.
The final act of Fat Girl has caused no end of controversy, as its suddenness and apparently arbitrary nature alienated some and enthralled others. Yet, if you watch carefully, it's clear that Breillat has been building up to this climax, even in the very first moments of the film in which Anaïs sings to herself a song that foreshadows the violent events to come. While much of Fat Girl is aesthetically dull, with Breillat relying on static long takes and simple compositions, the last quarter of the film is a small masterpiece of encroaching dread spun out of the seemingly ordinary act of driving down the highway. In terms of tension, Fat Girl turns into a horror movie.
The weighted silence between Elena and her mother, who is furious at her daughter's affair with Fernando, casts a pallor over the sequence, but Breillat intensifies the emotions metaphorically by casting their small car into a sea of omnipresent and threatening 18-wheelers. And, when violence erupts, Breillat stages it in such a deliberately shocking manner that it sticks with you in the way real violence does; it's impossible to get the images and the sounds out of your head. Whether such an extreme final act was necessary is certainly debatable, but its effectiveness is undeniable.
Fat Girl Director-Approved Criterion Collection DVD | ||
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 | |

Release Date | October 19, 2004 | |
For its debut on DVD in the U.S., Criterion has given Fat Girl an excellent, director-approved anamorphic transfer. The image is clear and sharp, with good detail. The only time the film looks at all grainy is during the night scene at the end of the film, and in that instance it is only a few shots. The film's color palette is fairly subdued, but well rendered. It should also be noted that this is the fully uncut, unrated version of the film as Breillat intended it to be seen. | ||
Rare for a Criterion disc, the soundtrack is available in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1 surround mixes. As most of the film is dialogue and background sound effects, the surround speakers are not given much of a workout. However, Breillat does include some pop music on the soundtrack, which is nicely presented in the multiple-channel mix, and surround tracks are well used to envelop the viewer in the highway scenes at the end, adding to the film's tension and dread. | ||
A brief five-minute featurette on the making of Fat Girl includes behind-the-scenes shots and interview with Breillat and her two stars, Anaïs Reboux and Roxane Mesquida. Also included are two video interviews, one recorded during the 2001 Berlin Film Festival and a second recorded for French television that includes a glimpse at an alternate ending (it's not so much an alternate ending as it is an extension of the ending as it currently exists). Lastly, the disc includes both French and U.S. theatrical trailers. The insert booklet contains an essay by film scholar Ginette Vincendeau and an interview with Breillat, which was translated from the French film journal Positif. |

Roberts thrives in return to basics

Rays infielder Ryan Roberts (19) fields a ground ball during the first full squad workout Sunday at Charlotte Sports Park.
DUNEDIN — Ryan Roberts uses a short mantra to remind himself how to approach his chances at the plate. It's not a new philosophy, but an old one that had gotten away from him for a while.
"Basically for me it's 'Keep it simple, stupid,'" Roberts said. "Try to make solid contact."

What Is Not Included?
Guests must pass through the Chesapeake Maritime Museum in order to access our dock. While the museum allows our guests to quickly walk through the museum grounds on their way to the dock, admission to the museum is not included in the ticket price, and you will need to purchase a ticket if you are interested in visiting the museum before or after your sail.
Meeting Location
Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum (St. Michaels, MD)
(Exact meeting location details will be provided immediately upon purchase of tickets.)
- Do I have to purchase a ticket in advance?
- A sailing tour on the H.M. Krentz is a unique and incredible experience and our tours often sell out in advance. We highly recommend booking your tickets in advance to ensure you get your preferred date and time!
- What is a skipjack?
- Built specifically for oyster dredging the Chesapeake Bay, skipjacks are a type of sailing boat that originated in the late 1800s. Their characteristic wide planks and open deck, which is low to the ocean surface, makes them ideal for relaxing cruises. While skipjacks once populated the Chesapeake Bay by the thousands, their upkeep was heavily neglected during the 1900s, making the H.M. Krentz one of only 24 remaining skipjacks in the country, and one of just a handful suitable for sailing excursions.
- What will we do on the sail?

Great for friends or family of all ages, this is a sailing excursion you will never forget!
- Do you really raise the sails and turn the motor off?
- Yes we do. We want to give our guests a full sailing experience so as long as there is wind, we will sail. We only use the engine for a few minutes at each end of trip, to help us get into and out of our slip.
- Are these tours suitable for children?
- Yes, a sail on the H.M. Krentz is great for people of all ages! In fact, Captain Ed helped create an environmental educational program with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation that has allowed 14,000 school children to learn from his interactive approach. All children must be accompanied by an adult are are required to have a ticket. Children can come for a reduced ticket price based on their age.
- What is oyster dredging and can I participate?
- The H.M. Krentz is specifically equipped with a dredge (a device that scrapes along the seabed) for gathering oysters in the Chesapeake Bay. By lifting the dredge you can actually "harvest" oysters like the original sailors did! We would love to have you join in and take advantage of this rare experience!
- Can I bring the oysters we catch home with me?
- No. This is just a demonstration of how to harvest oysters and we don't actually keep the oysters. They are returned to the water.
- Are the tours narrated?
- Captain Ed will share a wealth of knowledge with you, which he has gained during his 40 years of industry experience. His passion for the Chesapeake Bay, oyster dredging, and the preservation of historic skipjack boats, will keep you fascinated as you're surrounded by the beauty of the Bay.
- How long are the tours?
- Each of our unique sailing tours lasts approximately two hours.
- Where do the tours start and end?
- Our tours begin and end at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michaels.
- Are food and drinks allowed on the boat?
- You are encouraged to bring your own food and beverages, as we do not sell any food or drinks on board. Alcohol is permitted for those 21 and older. During the summer when it's warmer, please consider bringing a bottle of water.
- Is there a restroom on the boat?
- Yes, we have a marine head located below deck. Please note that the restroom is not handicap-accessible as guests must take four steps down to access the cabin area. There are bathrooms available for use at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and we encourage guests to use those before the tour departs.
- How steady is the sailing? Am I likely to get seasick?
- The H.M. Krentz is a 70 ft. boat with at 49 ft. deck that was built specifically for the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay. This creates a very steady and smooth ride, unlikely to cause seasickness. However, if you are prone to motion sickness you may want to consider taking precautions prior to the tour. We cannot actually advise you to take any specific medication.
- Can pregnant women attend?
- Yes, expectant mothers are more than welcome to attend. But if they are concerned they should feel free to consult their physician prior to attending one of our sailing tours.
- Is there any shade or covered area on the boat?
- The H.M. Krentz has a 49 ft. expansive open deck that is perfect for soaking in the sun and enjoying the breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. There is usually some shade from the sails on at least one side of the boat, but other than that there is no other covered area of the boat.
- What happens if it rains? Do you ever cancel sails due to bad weather?
- The H.M. Krentz will continue to sail in light rain, however, the safety of our passengers is our first priority and cancellations may occur due to moderate or severe weather conditions. If this happens, you will be able to reschedule to a later date subject to availability or receive a credit for a future event.
- What should I wear?
- Feel free to dress as comfortably and as casually as you like. Because temperatures are typically 10 degrees cooler on water than on land, we recommend bringing light sweaters or layers, particularly for the evening sails. Also, please wear comfortable shoes with non-marking soles and please do not wear high heels.
- Do you have life jackets on board? Are children required to wear them?
- We are a US Coast Guard certified passenger vessel, so we are required to carry sufficient life jackets for emergency use. Children are not required to wear life jackets on board, but we do have a few Type 2 (children's size) vests if parents would like to kids to wear something while on board. Parents are also welcome to bring their own if they would like.
- Is the boat wheelchair accessible?
- We regularly accommodate people in wheelchairs on our tours, but please note there is a 10" drop from the rail to the deck, so our staff will need to assist with getting people directly onto the vessel. If anyone in group has limited mobility or is in a wheelchair, please let us know when booking your tickets. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please click on the "Contact SailHMKrentz" link to request more information.
- Is there parking and how much is it?
- Yes, there is free parking available in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum parking lot.
- Can I stow anything (e.g., luggage) during the sail?
- Unfortunately, there is limited storage space on board the boat, so we cannot store larger items for you.
- Can I bring a pet?
- No, unfortunately pets are not allowed on board.
- Should I tip the crew?
- Gratuity is not included in the ticket price and is not required, but always appreciated.
- What does the H.M. Krentz do during the winter months?
- Not only does the H.M. Krentz provide unforgettable sailing tours on the Chesapeake Bay during the summer months, but during the winter oyster season it is also one of only remaining skipjacks left that work as operating oystering vessels.
- Are gift certificates available?
- Yes, gift certificates are available and make great gifts for any occasion! Please click on the Contact SailHMKrentz link if youre interested in purchasing a gift certificate.
- Can I book a private charter?
- To book a private charter aboard the H.M. Krentz, please click on the Contact SailHMKrentz link. Someone from our staff will return your inquiry shortly and help you plan an amazing sail.

Jacksonville Teacher Digging Deep to Teach
By: Deedra Wilson
Updated: December 3, 2012
A Jacksonville teacher digs deep to encourage her English students to read, but she and her husband are digging even deeper into their pockets, to make sure her kids have what they need to get it all done.
Over the years, the traditional way of keeping students engaged has changed.
In order for Mrs. Evelyn House to keep up with the times.
"My husband and I are adamant that these children, have the best technology and advantages we can over them."
So she and her husband bought a nook (an electronic reader ) for each student in her class.
"We decided it was time for us to step up and make a difference."
"She inspired me to read, said Tyrik Slater."
Slater also changed his ways, after Mrs. House, introduced him to the Bluford series, books that relate to high school issues and sends positive messages.
"Like school and being a bully and all...you used to be a bully? yes mam."
Kimberly Shipman, likes to read and now she's being rewarded for it, getting to take home a new coat.
"I've been reading a long time, and I've read the hunger games already, and I took a test on those and I got lots of points."
It's apart of Mrs. House's 'Reading Will Keep You Warm Campaign.'
"We thought this was an opportunity for kids to learn and earn, said House."
Along with the coats, there is a table full of items to earn points for.
"We want them to be lifelong learners, we want to see them go as far as they can, and we know we have college material here, said House"
Mrs. House and her husband pay for all of this out of their pocket.
They've spent about $7,000 on the colored nooks that stay in class.
They've also bought the nook touch in black and white for $1500, the students can check those out on the weekend.
They spent over $1,000 on coats.
And $1200 dollars on a classroom set of chairs.
They provide the school supplies all year long.

Published on: Jul 2, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Continued heat and drought are taking their toll on the American corn crop. That's evident in today's crop condition report that shows the 18 states producing 92% of the corn crop saw condition slip to 48% good to excellent, that's an 8 percentage point drop from last week's 56% good to excellent rating. The USDA report also shows that 25% of the crop is silking, well ahead of the five-year average. And that brings pollination into what will be one of the hottest weeks on record. Even states that have seen ample rain could be impacted by the sweltering temperatures. Indiana now reports only 19% of its crop is good to excellent. For Kentucky only 20% of the crop is that well rated. Illinois and Kansas have 26% of the corn crop listed as good to excellent. Minnesota reports its crop at 82% good to excellent, North Dakota reports 81% good to excellent and Iowa has 62% good to excellent.DETERIORATION HAPPENS: Drought, hot conditions beat down nation's corn crop. Soybeans: This crop is slipping too falling to 45% good to excellent from 53% last week. And the soybean crop already started behind the average from its first report. Indiana reports just 20% of its soybeans at good to excellent, Illinois has 28% good to excellent, Kentucky is at 24% and Missouri is at 18% good to excellent. Minnesota, which has seen record rains, shows soybeans at 74% good to excellent, and Iowa is holding its own at 59% good to excellent. The report shows that 26% of the crop has started to bloom, and thought it sounds like a broken record, that's ahead of the five-year average. Wheat: USDA reports winter wheat is 69% harvested, which has the crop continuing to run ahead of last year. For the spring wheat crop, 73% is headed out. Spring wheat condition has slipped from last week to 71% from 77% a week ago, a sign that hot weather is impacting the crop as well. North Dakota holds top honors with 80% of its crop in good to excellent condition, Washington comes in at 75%, Minnesota at 66%, Montana at 63% and South Dakota at 60%. Cotton: Condition of the crop has slid from 50% to 47%. USDA reports 49% of the crop is squaring and 14% is setting bolls, which is just about on track for the five-year average. Sorghum: USDA reports that sorghum condition has slid to 34% from 44% a week ago, drought conditions are even catching up with this hardy crop. Kansas shows just 21% of the crop in good to excellent condition, Nebraska at 35%, Oklahoma at 39% and Missouri at 23%. Peanuts: Peanuts are holding their own slipping just one percentage point from last week's report. USDA has the crop at 68% good to excellent. And about 38% of the crop is pegging. Rice: Conditions are improving down South with 72% reporting good to excellent, it was 73% a week ago. About 20% of the crop is heading out, well ahead of the average. Pasture/Range Condition: This week's report has only 25% of the pasture and rangeland in good to excellent condition. That's a big drop from 34% last week and shows the stress the ground is under with both heat and drought. You can see the entire report online.

During the first weeks of spring, wearing a T-shirt sans jacket is a feeling that can't be beat. Actually, I take that back—wearing a T-shirt with an animal-friendly message sans jacket is the only thing that can beat that, which is why for this week's "Win It" Wednesday, we're putting the tee in generosity by giving away these 100 percent organic cotton shirts from Italy-based Tippitappi:
How do you win? Tell us all about the places you'll go while sporting one of these tees with a message. The three readers whose must-see spring hot spots most make us want to get out of our seats and travel will each get to choose the shirt of his or her choice from the five shirts pictured above.
The contest ends on April 21, 2010, and we'll pick the winners on April 23, 2010. Be sure to read our privacy policy and terms and conditions, as you're agreeing to both by commenting. Good luck!

Initiatives & Projects
National Library Week will be observed April 8-14, 2012 with the theme, "You belong @ your library®."
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.
Scholastic Library Publishing National Library Week Grant - The winner of the 2012 Scholastic Library Publishing National Library Week grant will be announced at the ALA Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, Texas (Jan. 20-24). Learn more about National Library Week and download free tools at ala.org/nlw.
Library Card Sign-up Month - Each year thousands of public and school libraries come together each fall in a national effort to remind parents and children that a library card is the most important school supply of all. Library Card Sign-up Month was launched in 1987.
In 2011, baseball legend Cal Ripkin served as Honorary Chair of Library Card Sign-up Month. As the Honorary Chair, Ripkin donated his image for a print public service announcement (PSA) that ALA placed in magazines during the month of September. Librarians can download the PSA as is or have it customized with the library's own logo at no cost.
The Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times "I Love my Librarian" Award - Each year, thousands of library supporters nominate their librarians for the Carnegie Corporation of New York/New York Times I Love My Librarian Award, and 10 winners are selected. Nominations come in from every state for librarians in public, school, college, community college and university libraries, and all of the nominations are inspiring; people love their librarians!
2011 was the fourth year of the award, which will continue annually through 2012. Read about this year's winners and winners from 2008 and 2009 and 2010.
Step Up to the Plate @ your library - Season six of Step Up to the Plate @ your library teams up two American classics - baseball and libraries - to to promote libraries and librarians as essential information resources. People of all ages were encouraged to visit their library and answer a series of trivia questions. This year, Step Up to the Plate @ your library connects generations by exploring baseball's more than 150-year history through topics like famous baseball families and historical baseball franchises.
Connect with your kids@ your library, a new outreach campaign that encourages parents to spend more quality time with their children at their library, was launched at the 2011 ALA Annual Conference in New Orleans .
The initiative is designed to strengthen families by motivating parents to spend more quality time with their children. Specifically, the campaign promotes the public and school library as a trusted place to spend quality time with children. The campaign reinforces the idea that taking children to the library is a sign of being a good parent and demonstrates the free high quality programs available at the library for parents and children. Bring Connect with your kids to your library. Read more

GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Board of Commissioners will reorganize for the 2013 calendar year during a special meeting on Monday.
The reorganizational meeting, scheduled for 12 p.m. on Monday, will be held in the commissioners' chambers at the Gallia County Courthouse and will allow the three-person commission to elect a 2013 president and vice-president.
Newly elected commissioners David K. Smith and Brent A. Saunders attended their first commission meeting of 2013 last week during the commission's regular Thursday meeting.
Smith, a Republican who previously served as a county commissioner from 2005-2009, was elected in November after defeating previous commissioner Democrat Lois Snyder.
Newcomer and Republican "Coach" Brent A. Saunders — the former Gallia Academy Middle School principal and Varsity Football Coach — narrowly defeated Democrat Joe Foster this November for the remaining open seat on the commission.
According to the Ohio Revised Code, the board of county commissioners shall organize on the second Monday of January of each year and, during this meeting, elect, from among its members, a president who will serve a one-year term and preside over all of the regular and special sessions of the board.
In 2012, county commissioner Harold Montgomery was elected to serve as the commission president.
Montgomery, who was elected in November 2010, is the third member of the new all-Republican board.
Following Monday's organizational meeting, the commission will meet again at 9 a.m. on Thursday, January 17 in the commissioners' chambers for their regular weekly meeting.

I posted this in another knubster thread but thought I would share it hear too.
I just tried out a knubster on my 5'8" Dominator with the rusty R2 quad set. I wasn't 100% so I didn't get a full test. I had shoulder surgery in Sept and tore a ligament in my ankle in Dec. It was my first time out after my ankle injury. My ankle was a little tender so I didn't push to hard. I think in about two more weeks I will feel better about hitting the lip hard. I Did once but a bailed after I hit the lip because I didn't want to test my ankle that much yet. The shoulder feels good when I paddle. I have been good with the rehab.
I really liked it on the waves with a little more shape and size. On the smaller waves it did feel a little to stiff but I also felt week pushing my toe rail in because of my ankle so I know my transitions where not as fast as they could have been. It really did smooth the whole ride out. It made the board feel a little more locked in. I did a couple nice round houses and was generating a ton of speed. I did square off the bottom a couple times but I never really pushed it as hard as I usually do. It really feels like on a good wave you can really square of the bottom and get a nice smooth wrap. I just have to see if I like how it releases. It will be a couple of weeks before I really know how it releases with harder surfing.
I would say that so far it is an improvement on chest to a little overhead size waves with my R2 set. I will try putting some smaller quad trailers in with the knubster and see if it feels better on the waist/ribcage high stuff. Chest high to overhead it feels great to me so far. I'm thinking of having one plug put in my old quadraflex so I can use my Knubster on that board.

Writing system
Like other Indian scripts, Malayalam is a syllabic alphabet of the abugida type, which means the consonants have an inherent vowel (a) unless otherwise indicated by vowel signs. In Malayalam, the indications to change the vowel are extra strokes called matras. When certain consonants are used together they form ligatures which combine the essential parts of each letter. Due to the complex characters, printing Malayalam proved to be difficult, and as a result a simplified or reformed version of the characters needed to be created and was introduced beteen 1970 and 1980. Today, it is often used inconsistently in combinationwith the old characters. |
Malayalam shares its origin with most of the Indian scripts, it ultimately derived from the Brahmi script. In the 12th century, it developed with the Tamil script as a forming of a southindian variant of Brahmi, the Grantha script. |
The Malayalam script is used to write Malayalam, one of the four Dravidian languages (the others are Tamil, Telugu and Kannada) that are not related to the indoarabic languages. It is spoken in the southern Indian state of Kerala, the Laccadive Islands and neighboring states, and also in Bahrain, Fiji, Israel, Malaysia, Qatar, Singapore, UAE and the UK. The Malayalam script is also used to write the Konkani language in Goa. |

European Parasols
Watch featuring an image of Saint George.
This piece was referred to as a "Lesser George" by the Met Museum. That seems to imply that it was intended to be a part of the vestments worn by a member of the Order of the Garter. It is "lesser" as compared to the "Great George," a large three dimensional figure of Saint George worn about the neck. Most "Lesser George" figures are on a badge or watch.
George Nicholas Vallin 1600

Ofatumumab vs. Rituximab Salvage Chemoimmunotherapy followed by ASCT in Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL (ORCHARDD Trial/ Phase III)
Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma
What is the purpose of this trial?
As rituximab-based regimens have become standard first-line treatment in CD20 positive DLBCL, the efficacy of rituximab combined with salvage chemotherapy in the secondline setting has decreased and there is a need for new therapies in patients progressing or relapsing after first-line rituximab-based therapy. Replacement of rituximab with ofatumumab in the second-line setting, following progression/relapse after first-line rituximab-containing regimens, offers the potential to overcome relative or complete rituximab resistance and thus improve response rates, the ability to proceed to consolidative HDT/ASCT, and overall survival.
This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab in addition to salvage chemotherapy versus rituximab in addition to salvage chemotherapy in CD20 positive DLBCL or grade 3b FL subjects progressing, relapsing or with persistent lymphoma after first-line treatment with rituximab combined with an anthracycline- or anthracenedione-based chemotherapy regimen.
Primary objective:
• To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) in subjects receiving ofatumumab in addition to salvage chemotherapy (O-chemo) compared to subjects receiving rituximab in addition to salvage chemotherapy (R-chemo).
Secondary objectives. To evaluate the following in subjects receiving O-chemo compared to subjects receiving R-chemo:
• Overall and complete response rate after salvage chemoimmunotherapy.
• Overall and complete response rate three months after ASCT.
• Event-free survival.
• Overall survival.
• Number of subjects with inadequate mobilisation of autologous stem cells (<2.0 million CD34+ cells/kg) prior to administration of high dose therapy (HDT).
• Number of subjects completing ASCT.Participation Guidelines
- Age:
- 18 and older
- Gender:
- Both
