Cascade Bancorp, the parent company of Bend-based Bank of the Cascades, brought in a net income of $1.8 million in the third quarter, according to its quarterly report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The modest gain comes on the heels of similar reports in the first two quarters, bringing the bank's year-to-date net income to $4.6 million.
The bank reported net losses of $21 million through the first three quarters of last year, driven largely by a bulk sale of $110 million in bad loans in September 2011.
The SEC report filed Wednesday showed a slight uptick in gross loans on the company's books, up to $862.7 million for the quarter ending Sept. 30, versus $845.5 million as of June 30. But gross loans are down from the third quarter of 2011, when the total stood at $929.3 million.
Cascade Bancorp has been under state and federal regulatory orders since 2009, when a wave of delinquent commercial real estate loans turned net profits into losses.
Bank president and CEO Terry Zink told The Bulletin in early November that he expects the regulator orders to be lifted in the next few months.

Pensioners trying to reduce the impact of price rises from energy suppliers could be interested in news that Leeds Building Society is offering them a special new account.
The Winter Fuel Saver account incentivises pensioners by providing a 5.12 per cent interest rate to customers over the age of 60 until February 28th 2010, after which the rate will come down to 0.25 per cent.
Pensioners could find the extra interest they earn before the end of February could be put towards paying their winter energy bills, while they could also switch gas and electricity suppliers.
Kim Rebecchi, Leeds director of sales and marketing, said: "We have designed this unique product to pay an excellent guaranteed return in a way that helps savers, delivering an upfront return at a time when bills are at their highest."
Many pensioners suffer from fuel poverty and the government provides winter fuel payments of up to £250 to help households cope with winter temperatures.
Energy companies were criticised earlier this year for only reducing prices after a cold snap swept the UK in February.
If you want to find out more about switching energy suppliers and how you could save up to £378 in minutes, click here.

The sound of presses printing t-shirts at a fever pitch is music to the ears of Sam Andelman and his staff on the floor of Nightmare Graphics in Columbia.
The Ray Lewis-design "Keep On Dancing" playoff t-shirts just keep coming off the printing presses at the Howard County shop because Ray Lewis and the Ravens beat Indianapolis to advance to the Divisional Round of the AFC Playoffs in Denver on Saturday against the Broncos.
"The last thing you saw yesterday on the field was Ray Lewis doing his dance at the end of the game and that's exactly what the design is on this t-shirt, it is the finish of his dance," Nightmare Graphics owner Sam Andelman tells WBAL's Scott Wykoff. "The Last Dance shirt we did (for Ray's last game in Baltimore), the return of Festivus, is really now a collectors item and now at this point with the Keep On Dancing t-shirt we are moving with the pulse of the team and hopefully we are going to keep on dancing all the way to the finish."
Andelman, a retired high school art teacher who established Nightmare Graphics in 1982, says it's exciting to have the Ravens back in the playoffs again and to be hearing his company's presses going strong in the month of January as they print the Ray Lewis-design t-shirts that are licensed by the NFL Players Association.
As always, he and his staff are hoping for a deep run in the playoffs that ends with a Super Bowl title. Especially this year as they have been printing Ray Lewis t-shirts that have been designed by Fans Only with a theme based on Ray's famous dance.
"And if they win again in Denver, which we certainly hope they will, I'm sure there will be another design coming out the following week and straight all the way through to the Super Bowl and we hope that happens this year," adds Andelman.
He says last year Nightmare Graphics had about 13 employees in the shop in Howard County watching the end of the AFC Championship Game in Foxboro waiting to start the presses if the Ravens beat the Patriots.
"When that guy dropped that pass in the end zone, I told my guys thanks for coming in, we'll see you tomorrow," added Andelman.
Playoff time is potentially what he calls "hot market" time. And in the t-shirt printing business a deep run in the playoffs for the Ravens or Orioles means business for Nightmare Graphics.
"As soon as a team wins, if it's the team you are printing for, then you start printing immediately and you run around the clock, says Andelman.
He says it all adds up to a lot more hours, a lot more time on the machines and a situation that makes it a lot more difficult to make sure you have all your bases covered to have enough people in the shop at Nightmare Graphics to make sure all the product, like this week's Ray Lewis "Keep On Dancing" playoff t-shirt gets out.
And how many of those new ray Lewis inspired t-shirts does Sam think his staff will print this week ahead of the big game in Denver against the Broncos?
"It would be nice to see 20,000 shirts," says Sam. "Who knows, there's competition, whoever buys from who. We hope they buy this shirt because it has been touted as the official Ray Lewis design."
He says you'll be able to get your hands on the new Ray Lewis Keep On Dancing playoff t-shirt all over town at stores that include Poor Boys, Greetings and Readings, Sports Zone, Ravens Zone, Sports Nut, Sports Alley and several other stores across the area.

2 winning tickets in Wednesday's $579.9 million Powerball jackpot
JIM COLE, Associated Press
M. SPENCER GREEN, Associated Press
CHICAGO (AP) — The richest Powerball jackpot ever — and the second-largest top prize in U.S. lottery history — has been won. The question now becomes: Who are the lucky winners waking up to new lives as multimillionaires?
Powerball officials said early Thursday morning that tickets sold in Arizona and Missouri matched all six numbers to win the record $579.9 million jackpot.
The numbers drawn Wednesday night are: 5, 16, 22, 23, 29 and Powerball of 6.
It was not clear whether the winning tickets belonged to individuals or were purchased by groups. Arizona lottery officials said early Thursday morning they had no information on that state's winner or winners but would announce where it was sold during a news conference later in the day. Lottery officials in Missouri did not immediately respond to phone messages and emails seeking comment.
Americans went on a ticket-buying spree in the run-up to Wednesday's drawing, the big money enticing many people who rarely, if ever, play the lottery to purchase a shot at the second-largest payout in U.S. history.
Tickets were selling at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide — about six times the volume from a week ago. That pushed the jackpot even higher before the Wednesday night drawing, said Chuck Strutt, executive director of the Multi-State Lottery Association.
A lottery official said late Wednesday that the jackpot increased to $579.9 million by the time of the drawing, making the cash option $379.8 million.
Among those hoping to win was Lamar Fallie, a jobless Chicago man who said his six tickets conjured a pleasant daydream: If he wins, he plans to take care of his church, make big donations to schools and then "retire from being unemployed."
The jackpot had already rolled over 16 consecutive times without a winner, but Powerball officials said earlier Wednesday they believed there was a 75 percent chance the winning combination will be drawn this time. Continued...
Some experts had predicted that if one ticket hit the right numbers, chances were good that multiple ones would. That happened in the Mega Millions drawing in March, when three ticket buyers shared a $656 million jackpot, which remains the largest lottery payout of all time. And it happened again for Wednesday's Powerball drawing.
Yvette Gavin, who sold the tickets to Fallie, is only an occasional lottery player herself, but the huge jackpot means she'll definitely play this time. As for the promises she often gets from ticket purchasers, Gavin isn't holding her breath.
"A lot of customers say if they win they will take care of me, but I will have to wait and see," she said.
In the hours before Wednesday's drawing, Associated Press photographers across the nation sought out ticket buyers and asked about their lottery fantasies. Here's a look at what they found:
When Atlanta barber Andre Williams buys scratch-off tickets, he typically does a dance in his shop for good luck. As a first-time Powerball player, he plans to reprise the dance — and buy a few extra tickets to enhance his chances.
"I don't even know if I'll look at it," said Williams, who bought his ticket at a newsstand. "If I win, I might pass out."
Paralegal Pat Powell was buying her first Powerball ticket at another store in Atlanta, even though she acknowledged her odds were probably "zero to zero."
Still, Powell has specific plans should she win: start an Internet cafe in the West Indies and a learning center in Georgia.
"I've been thinking about winning this money and what I'd do with it," Powell said. "There's no ritual, but it's just been on my mind. So it's like, let me just join the hype and just do it."
Atlanta accountant Benita Lewis, who had never played the lottery before, didn't want to be the only one left in her office without a ticket. Continued...
"I did feel nervous buying it like I could be the one," she said. "I'm going to retire and pay off all my family's debt."
In Philadelphia, seafood salesman Billy Fulginiti bought 50 Powerball tickets with co-workers and a few more with a small group. He said he only plays when the jackpot is especially large.
"You go to bed at night wishing you wake up a millionaire," Fulginiti said. He planned to take a long vacation and "help a lot of people, a lot of charities," if any of his tickets turn out to be winners.
Powerball purchases at the Canterbury Country Store in Canterbury, N.H., have been so steady that the manager has been working extra evening hours to keep up.
Horticulturist Kevin Brags buys tickets at the store two to three times a month. He says he usually picks numbers higher than 32 because so many people use numbers 31 and lower, largely because of birthdays.
The birthday theory didn't scare off Paul Kruzel, a retired doctor who chooses the days his children were born.
Both, however, have the same plans for winning: "make a lot of people happy."
John Olson has a more elaborate idea: He'd like to buy an island.
At a downtown Detroit convenience store, Ceejay Johnson purchased five Powerball tickets. If she strikes it rich, the analyst from Southfield, Mich., said she would buy a home for her sister in Florida. Then she would "go into hiding" and take care of her family.
"And the IRS," she added. Continued...

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011Ever wonder what our thirty+ seminarians do in the summer? Hopefully after reading this you will have some appreciation that even the beginning of a vocation to the priesthood can easily lead to 24/7/365 while still in formation. Well almost, some episcopal hyperbole to be sure but recalling that old maxim that "idle hands are the devil's workshop" we do try to keep our seminarians busy and accounted for.
The college seminarians mostly work in their home parishes during the summers, painting, mowing, sprucing up buildings and grounds. Two of our seminarians are working at Good Counsel Camp in Floral City this summer as counsellors. A stint at Good Counsel at one time was almost a prerequisite for ordination to the priesthood but now they volunteer if they wish to work there. Two of our college men are also working in Omaha, Nebraska at Creighton University for the Institute for Priestly Formation (more about this program in a few seconds).These two seminarians are at the service of those older seminarians who are in the IPF program and they drive cards, make airport pickups, serve meals, etc. And there are two seminarians working with CRS in Africa for eight weeks.
Those in theology have longer commitments. This year there are four men on what is called the Pastoral Year. We interrupt the theological education program of the seminary at the exact midpoint, between second and third year to allow those approaching ordination to have two experiences which we feel will either confirm their vocation or suggest priesthood is not for them. The first component which is currently taking place is something called "Clinical Pastoral Education" or CPE. Three of our seminarians are taking CPE at Tampa General Hospital and one is doing the same at Woodside Nursing Home in Pinellas Park. During this quite labor intensive experience, the men learn a lot about themselves and their ability to deal with the sick and dying. Under close supervision and sometimes very challenging evaluation, CPE students get an immersion course in death and dying, sickness and health, and their own capacity to listen closely, minister appropriately, and evaluate with others in the program their experiences. The three men in CPE at Tampa General spend their nights and week-ends at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Ybor City (not much sleep at night on week-ends for these men) and they live and assist a wonderful pastor, Father Thomas Stokes who welcomes them annually with great Irish hospitality and priestly kindness. The fourth is living at the rector of Sacred Heart parish in Pinellas Park with Fathers Anthony Coppola and Tom Tobin. At the conclusion of CPE they will be assigned from Sept. 1, 2011 to May 2012 at four parishs in the diocese learning the art of the possible and sometimes the impossible in parish life. These four men can be found at St. Ignatius of Antioch parish in Tarpon Springs, St. Lawrence parish in Tampa, Christ the King parish in Tampa, and Nativity in Brandon.
Four other seminarians are also involved in an immersion experience, this time in the Dominican Republic learning Spanish. The program is required by our seminary and I would wish it anyway even if the seminary did not. Within fifteen years, the majority of Catholics in many areas of this diocese will be Spanish speaking and we need men able to function in Spanish. Thus, the six to eight week program in the Dominican Republic.
Two seminarians are actually enrolled in a nine week program of spiritual formation and direction at the Institute for Priestly Formation, held each year at Creighton University in Omaha. A mixture of classes on ascetical theology (how those who have gone before us have become saints), spiritual direction and a rather lengthy silent retreat, these men who will begin their theology studies this August are experiencing a much deeper engagement with the spiritual life than would be possible even in a five year program of formation such as we have in our seminaries.
Finally, nine of our theologians are assigned to parishes during the summer and while admittedly some things slow down, most find their summer experience to be enlightening at a minimum and challenging at a maximum. Of the nine, two men are deacons, having been ordained in the Spring and they are baptizing, preaching and witnessing marriages in addition to conducting inquiry classes and RCIA, etc.
So there you have it. Gainfully employed, hands not idle at all, learning the ropes and the "tricks" of the trade during their summer vacation. They all have some time to themselves to travel, relax and rest but no more than a typical working father or mother would likely have. Most are compensated for their summer in a small way but that helps pay for gas, haircuts and an occasional movie during the school year. Come August our college men will return to Saint John Vianney College Seminary in Miami, and our theology students to St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach, Blessed John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, Massachusetts and the North American College in Rome. They have a three day convocation at the Bethany Center coming up the second week in August where they will surely share stories of their summer experiences.
I conclude by using this moment to thank those pastors who welcome our seminarians for their summer assignments. Their hospitality to those studying for the priesthood is only outdone by their witness to their own happiness and fulfillment in priestly ministry. So, our seminarians are not "kids" but we still know where they are most midnights.

Checking HBM torque flanges using the shunt signal and the zero point
Users often ask whether they may continue using a torque flange that has not been in use for an extended period of time. For this reason, HBM has extensively investigated the behavior of torque flanges.
The only way to be absolutely sure is by having it checked and calibrated in a DKD (German Calibration Service)-accredited calibration laboratory, eg at HBM. In most cases, however, getting a quick assessment for less critical meas-urements is what is required.
This technical article provides users with practical tips for checking torque flanges using the shunt signal and the zero point, explained using the example of the T10F torque flange. With respect to the center frequency, the statements apply mutatis mutandis to all measurement flanges. Settings for downstream electronics have not been taken into account and need to be considered separately.
Shunt signal
All HBM torque flanges with contactless measurement signal transmission (eg T10F..., T40..., T12) have a shunt signal [1]. It is approx. 50% of the nominal (rated) measuring range and is an absolute value (eg N•m) specified on the type plate and in the manufacturing certificate.
When this shunt signal is used for checking a torque flange, actual shunting is carried out on the rotor of the measure-ment shaft. This means that a fixed resistor is electronically connected in parallel to a bridge arm of the Wheatstone Bridge circuit. The resulting bridge unbalance value is converted to the shunt signal specified on the type plate using the data resulting from the mechanical calibration on our accredited calibration machine (see fig. 1). In general, the resulting values are "non-uniform" and the shunt signals differ from transducer to transducer.
The shunt signal serves two purposes:
- Adjustment of downstream instruments and adaptation to the individual torque transducer
- Checking and monitoring of torque transducers in conjunction with zero point monitoring.
Relevance of the shunt signal and zero point - Example: T10F
Strictly speaking, the shunt signal only applies for the frequency or digital output, since it is generated on the rotor. With the T10F torque flange's ±10V voltage output, any amplifier settings on the stator need to be taken into account. The shunt signal is connected in addition. Therefore, we recommend not to load the measurement flange when activating the shunt signal.
When using the shunt and zero signal to check and monitor the T10F, we recommend that you return it to HBM for testing if the following changes occur:
- Deviation of the zero signal when the transducer is not mounted > ± 0.8 % (> ± 40 Hz), ie zero point not within the frequency range of 9,960 Hz to 10,040 Hz at 10,000 Hz center frequency.
- Zero signal variation resulting from mounting > ± 3 % (> ± 150 Hz).
- Additional change in zero signal after balancing of the zero signal variation resulting from mounting > ± 1 % (> ± 50 Hz).
- Deviation of the shunt signal > ± 0.1% compared to the value specified on the type plate or manufacturing certificate.
These values apply for stable reference temperature conditions and a transducer warm-up phase of 15 minutes. When the transducer has been mounted it is essential to make sure that no additional torque is applied, eg resulting from distortion in the shaft train. Since the shunt signal is connected in addition, it is essential to take into account any shifting of the zero point.
Determining and using the shunt signal is a merely electrical method. Theoretically, there is a possibility that the detach-ment of strain gages without a change in their resistance or in the Expanded Kreuzer circuit (compensation of modulus of elasticity) is not recorded. Practical experience, however, has shown that this is not the case with properly manufactured strain gages and that, in general, this only happens as a result of irregular operating conditions, eg rupture of the measuring point. Measurements taken on every product during production and calibration ensure correct manufacture of strain gages.
Using the shunt signal and the zero point, it is very easy to assess whether the T10F torque flange functions properly within the specifications. Plastic deformation of the rotor as a result of overload due to bending moments and/or radial forces can be eliminated through correct installation, since these overloads are not always reflected by the zero or shunt signal.
Shunting or calibration
Shunting and checking using the shunt signal provide many benefits and significantly reduce mechanical testing effort or even make it obsolete. However, depending on the application or quality standards, eg in terms of traceability of test equipment, there might be requirements prescribing mechanical calibration at regular intervals. HBM as a supplier of components, of course, cannot suspend such requirements. Furthermore, the calibration intervals can only be defined by the users themselves, based on their requirements and knowledge of the conditions of use.
HBM recommends calibration intervals of two years for transducers and one year for electronics. According to DIN 51309 [2] a calibration certificate for torque measuring instruments is valid for max. 26 months. Shorter calibration intervals would make sense to meet special traceability requirements or quality assurance standards. A torque measuring instrument needs to be recalibrated
- after having been subjected to overload,
- after repair,
- after improper handling.
To sum it up: The shunt signal may be used for checking and adaptation of torque flanges; depending on the application, however, it cannot be a substitute for actual, mechanical calibration.

Welcome, guest
August 14, 2012 Rob Copeland
Some 34 Americas hedge funds raised $11 billion in the first half, but most of the money was clustered in a handful of managers.
It is a tale of haves and have-nots.
At first glance, the environment for new hedge fund launches in the Americas appears robust. Some 34 new funds raised $11 billion in the first half of the year, eking past last year's total of $10.3 billion1.
As was the case last summer, one mega-launch comprised nearly half of the total, suggesting strong appetite for the right manager at the right time. That equity-focused multistrategy fund, the Renaissance Diversified Alpha Fund headed by Peter Brown and Robert Mercer, burst out of the gate with $3.5 billion in March and has since blown past $5 billion, helped by strong firmwide returns and performance/management fees of half the industry norm (see full details here).
Second place went to Citadel spinoff Encompass Capital, the energy equities fund helmed by Todd Kantor, which started...

Music Composers Unite!
Is it possible to be judge a piece of music objectively?
There is a school of thought which says " If I like it it's good, if I dislike it it's bad"
Whereas I believe that a judgement based solely on a subjective response is not a judgment at all, at least not one worth considering.
As a composer, even when writing for 'oneself' as opposed to writing 'applied' music to order, is it not the case that one must strive for objectivity?
It is my belief that whatever choices one makes in a composition, it is the musical logic, language and unity of any particular piece that should inform those choices. At least to some extent. Anything which appears as arbitrary can only weaken the piece.
( This is a topic some of us were discussing in another thread but was deemed 'off topic' so perhaps we can carry on here.)
Or "writing about music is like dancing about architecture." (attributed to Martin Mull)
Fredrick zinos said:
"Lenny" used to say that music begins where words leave off.
One example that I find particularly intriguing comes from Frederick Rzewski's epic hour-long piano piece Variations on "the People United Will Never Be Defeated." (The following is a performance by Hamelin with a video of the score)
Part VII: Cadenza - Theme Reprise
Now, this is a bit of an enigma of a piece, because it is really hard to classify in terms of the overall musical language. At best we could term it "eclectic," the Theme itself is extremely tonal (Part I: 0:00) as are other sections such as V13 (Part II: 4:00), some contain references to textures that are very influenced by Boulez or Babbit, such as V3 (Part I: 3:00) , while others (V 27, Part V beginning with the Cadenza at 1:15) seem to very directly reference the minimalist textures of Phillip glass. Rzewski is obviously not using strict minimalist or serialist proceedures, but he is able to mix the languages associated with each combined with his own compositional decisions to create a composition that utilizes an immense array of languages while still remaining a unified musical construction in the large scale. Really an incredible piece if you ask me.
As I said before, however, this is a bit of an enigma especially in our discussion since it does not remain in one a single language throughout. However what is important is that every Variation contributes to the larger effect of the piece as a whole, yet if one of the languages was said not to be capable of producing an engaging aesthetic experience in itself, it would be hard to justify also saying that the languages can then contribute to the larger aesthetic effect of a work that utilizes multiple languages. It would be in effect saying that one of the principle musical ingredients is inherently flawed, yet somehow it the flawed ingredient can contribute to a piece that would be significantly lacking without the ingrediant. Instead I hold that the overall effect arises not in spite of the languages used in the composition, but rather because of each.
It is largely because of such "eclectic" pieces that I hold that each composition should receive its own honest judgment. If we are to write off a particular language as incapable of producing a significant aesthetic effect, then we also (consciously or unconsciously) approach works in that language with a bias against it, which can sometimes close off our reception of a piece that we might find engaging or effective had we not had this pre-conceived bias. We would then approach a piece like the one above with a bias towards some of its elements, which would cause some listeners to miss the larger aesthetic purpose of the piece as a whole.
I had a friend once who loved chicken salad but hated eggs. When he found out that eggs were a primary ingredient in mayonaise, he proceeded to treat chicken salad as though it was the most disgusting food item on the planet. I fear that the same can happen in our aesthetic judgment of music. And thus I usually give the language the benefit of the doubt as being capable of producing an aesthetically satisfying piece. In this way, any examples that do not satisfy me remain unsatisfactory, but I have no trouble accepting examples that are satisfying without having to reconcile it with my larger aesthetic stance.
Ondib Olmnilnlolm said:
Yours is a well articulated position, and your clarification makes a great deal of sense logically.
Still, I would wonder what you would praise in the way of examples.
I mentioned two pieces, Webern's Symphonie, and Phillip Glass's score to Poaqqatsi, as pieces which were considered outstanding by many, as representative works of the "serialist" and "minimalist" schools respectively. I thought these works failed, at least partly, because the criticisms of the two schools applied to these works, though the works are not without some positive qualities.
So I just wondered if you had any examples. Of course, there are countless pieces, written by serialists and by minimalists that I have not heard, that many of us on this forum may not have heard.
I am open to hearing any of them that you might suggest.
The more they depart from the strict definitions-- the "freer" they are in their use of compositional approaches-- the better, as far as I am concerned.
(But then they would veer towards no longer being "serialist" or "minimalist" compositions, or they would even veer away from using what might be called "serialist" or "minimalist" musical languages. It's a fine line, of course. Or maybe it isn't so fine, depending on the example we examine. )
Nate Mitchell said:Ondib: before this discussion proceeds much further, I believe I should clarify what might be a misunderstanding (or it might not be). When I speak of Minimalism and Serialism, I am referring not to necessarily to Minimalist and Serialist compositional approaches or techniques, but rather the musical languages typically associated with composers from those respective schools. Thus, those that do not follow strict serialism (indeed, their compositional choices may not be particularly serialised at all) sometimes have chosen to write in the particular language that the second viennese school became so known for, and the same can be said about "minimalism," that is, music that adheres to the "sounds" commonly associated with minimalism, but which may often deviate from strict minimalist processes in favor of freer compositional approaches. I recognize that this might be a misunderstanding that arose entirely from my underexplanation and particular use of the term, and I apologize if it lead to confusion. Indeed I recognize that the languages I have termed "minimalist" or "serialist" may be a misnomer, since it may include examples which do not adhere to the compositional process advocated by the respective schools.
Thus I posit my position anew: any musical language has the potential for success within it. What matters is not what language a composer chooses to work in, but rather how effectively the composer can craft meaningful compositions in the style that he or she chooses.
Perhaps this did not need clarification, but it just crossed my mind that this oversight on my part may have caused some confusion in the discussion.
I'm completely against 'classification' in terms of the overall musical language.
I agree, of course you can say it "sounds like" something, but I am generally against such classification as well for precisely the reasons mentioned above. classification like that places a label on the music often before it is even experienced, and many render a judgment on the music before it is experienced as a result.
OH I dunno.. A few weeks ago we were promised an evening of "classical" chamber music and it turned out to be Devo instead. its like going into a restaurant, ordering a steak and getting calamari because the chief wanted to avoid having his cuisine classified.
And another thing .. Its not so much the classification but the calcification of music to which I object.
We can associate a particular kind of music with a particular composer. I went to a concert featuring Beethoven, but instead ate Glass. Who's playing tonight? 'Devo'. I hate it when they offer Mozart and give me Devo. Who goes to enjoy 'classical music'. Don't you go because it's a particular composer? Please! :)
The question seems to that this: when god (or gosh, if thats your preferance) handed out talent, did he Philip the Glass half empty, or half full?

Jackson, Jr., case stirs debate
Updated: February 19, 2013
The former congressman is accused of spending more than $750,000 in campaign funds to buy things like a $40,000 Rolex and Michael Jackson memorabilia. Redfield says, right now, audits for campaign contributions are only done randomly or if something seems suspicious. He says they really should be done more often since so many have been able to fly under the radar with the current rules.
Jackson's wife, Sandi, is also in hot water with the feds. She was charged with tax fraud. Prosecutors say she tried to cover up his spending. She and Jesse have both agreed to plea deals.
The former congressman could face several years in prison. Experts say he won't get the maximum sentence since he agreed to a plea deal.

If you want a leg up in your future career endeavors, look no further than an internship. You can gain valuable work and life experience from internships, according to the Credit Union National Association's (CUNA) News Now. Some intern positions are paid; some are not. In fact, tens of thousands of students have agreed to unpaid internships, in spite of the bum economy.
Though the Labor Department and Bureau of Labor Statistics don't track the numbers of paid vs. unpaid internships, a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, Bethlehem, Pa., found that 90% of employers representing 20 different industries do pay their interns.
Search for internships.
Learn how to answer interview questions.
Get résumé and cover letter tips.
Whether you're seeking a paid or unpaid position, here's some advice from About.com to help you ace your next internship interview:
- Make a good first impression. Be on time and be yourself. Use a strong handshake and make eye contact.
- Be prepared. Prepare for an internship interview just as you would for a regular job interview. Select appropriate clothing and conduct research about the company before the interview. Bring a copy of your résumé with you in case the interviewer does not have one on hand.
- Prepare for "internship" questions. Since internship candidates often lack professional job experience, many interviewing companies focus on behaviors rather than experience. Be prepared to describe your ability to learn; your initiative; your problem-solving, planning, and organizing skills; and your contribution to teamwork.
- Understand the questions before answering. You want to know exactly what the interviewer is asking, so if you don't understand the question it's OK to ask the interviewer to clarify it.
- Focus on skills and accomplishments. Talk about your high-school and college coursework, extracurricular activities, volunteer work, and computer and language skills. It's also important to talk about previous internships and other work experience while highlighting your communication, organization, interpersonal, and problem solving skills.

Meet Yuliya, Sales Associate at Nikita Indoor Outdoor Saratoga Springs this summer
Stop by and say hi to Yuliya, our new Sales Associate at the Nikita Indoor Outdoor Convertibles showroom, 508 Broadway, Saratoga Springs. Yuliya attends Fashion Insititute of Technology (FIT) in New York City, has achieved an Associates Degree in Interior Design and is working toward a Bachelor's Degree in Business.
Here's what Yuliya has to say about Nikita Convertibles:
I came home for the summer and looked around for a job in my field of interest and was intrigued by Nikita furnishings. I've never seen anything like this convertible furniture design even in New York City, where you can usually find anything. Convertible furniture fills so many needs, I was immediately taken with its versatility and surprised to find it right here in Saratoga Springs.
Yuliya is happy to put her knowledge and experience to work to answer any furniture questions or help you with design decisions.
Speaking of New York City, our next road appearance will be at the American Crafts Festival at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts on the weekend of June 19-20, 2010. Hours are noon to 9:00 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 9pm on Sunday. Hope 2010 graduates who are moving to their first homes or apartments, and those seeking contemporary modern furniture and space saving solutions for indoor and outdoor living spaces will stop by and lean back and experience comfortably designed sofabeds, loveseats, chairs and chaise longues. For a preview of our furniture, visit the Nikita Indoor Outdoor website: www.JustLeanBack.com
Thanks for listening,
Mary Robinson

The 60th Sydney Film Festival Closes on a Record-Breaking High and Audience Awards Announced
FESTIVALS: The 60th Sydney Film Festival wrapped on Sunday 16 June 2013 with the Australian Premiere of the documentary 'Twenty Feet from Stardom', bringing to a close the most highly attended Sydney Film Festival to date.
"Attendances at films and talks grew by 17% to 143,050," said SFF CEO Leigh Small. "There was also a 22% increase in tickets issued leading to a 20% increase in revenue. Beyond the numbers, the favourable buzz all over the city was palpable – this is an event that Sydney continues to embrace anew each year."
"In this, my second year as Festival Director, it was both exciting and humbling to be part of a team that delivered to Sydney its 60th film festival," said SFF Festival Director Nashen Moodley. "Seeing such growing popularity with audiences for the screenings, talks and other events makes all the hard work seem so worthwhile. The filmmakers who participated in the festival were delighted with the response of the audience, and it was great to see so many Australian and international filmmakers interacting and sharing ideas, approaches and inspiration."
This year, SFF announced a new partnership entitled Screen: Black with Screen Australia's Indigenous Department, a team that has nurtured many of the projects and filmmakers that Sydney Film Festival has screened. This year's program featured award-winning director Ivan Sen's Opening Night film 'Mystery Road'; Steven McGregor's documentary 'Big Name No Blanket'; emerging talent Dylan McDonald's documentary, 'Buckskin' – which was awarded the 2013 Foxtel Australian Documentary Prize – and Jon Bell's short film 'The Chuck In'.
The Hon. George Souris, Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Hospitality and Racing and Minister for the Arts, said the 60th Sydney Film Festival has played a starring role in a spectacular month of special events.
"Sydney Film Festival is part of what is fast becoming a globally recognised winter festival program that showcases Sydney's creative expertise and capacity for staging major events."
"Congratulations to Nashen Moodley and the SFF team on preparing such a superb program, which included several World Premieres. It's pleasing to see so many sold-out sessions, including the Opening Night screening of 'Mystery Road'. If the lines outside the cinemas on George Street waiting to attend SFF films are any indication, the enthusiastic support of audiences demonstrates the importance of arts and culture to the community. The NSW Government recognises this through its support for the screen industry, as well as tourism and major events," said Minister Souris.
The Festival Hub at Lower Town Hall returned for a second successful year with attendances increasing by 16 per cent. Over ten days the Festival Hub attracted over 9,000 visitors for free filmmaker talks, screenings, live acts and mingling with other patrons at the Keystone Bar. A Hub highlight was awarding-winning European artist and filmmaker Jeff Desom's Rear Window Loop, stunning 20-minute panoramic three-channel video projection shown daily. Other memorable moments included steamy burlesque performances, outrageous home-grown stand-up comedy, and a dance-a-rama Freak Me Out disco spun by the genre's programmer Richard Kuipers.
All up there were a total of 278 sessions held across the 12 days of the Festival, including 192 films from 55 countries in 54 languages, 20 world premieres, 4 international premieres and 124 Australian premieres, 17 retrospective titles, 82 features, 51 documentaries and 30 short films.
For the first time ever SFF screened films from Angola ('Death Metal Angola', screening in the Sounds onScreen program), Bangladesh ('Television'), North Korea ('Comrade Kim Goes Flying'), Malawi ('William and the Windmill') and Saudi Arabia ('Wadjda' directed by Saudi Arabia's first-ever female filmmaker).
Over 150 Australian and International filmmakers attended SFF 2013. This prestigious list included guests from 19 countries who attended over 75 talks and Q&A sessions hosted by filmmakers, writers, actors and industry guests across six venues over 12 days. There were 15 free talks and more than 60 screenings with filmmaker introductions and post-film Q&As at this year's festival, across all venues.
"Sydney Film Festival is both an important cultural event for Sydney and the Australian film industry," said Ruth Harley, Screen Australia's Chief Executive. "The Festival is significant in the development of fostering the talents of new Australian filmmakers and showcasing the best new Australian films. It also provides an opportunity for audiences to interact with international filmmakers. It is wonderful to see the Sydney Film Festival continue to grow in popularity with audiences."
