at Computational Biology Research Center (CBRC)
SEVENS summarizes GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) genes that are identified with high accuracy from 32 eukaryote genomes, by a pipeline integrating such software as a gene finder, a sequence alignment tool, a motif and domain assignment tool, and a transmembrane helix predictor. This treats a larger data space (than that in currently available other databases), which should include not only the expressed sequences but also the newly identified sequences that cannot be detected by in vivo experiments, although they definitely exist on the genome sequence and are just waiting for the opportunity to express their functions.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 87 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
We need your help to design a STAND OUT logo that is instantly recognisable.
Because we're all about opinions we need a logo that represents a strong community voice.
Our mission is to give 'the man on the street' a voice on everyday issues covering everything from latest news and politics to celebrity gossip.
We want the mob to get their say, hence the name 'MobMouth'.
Note: When we say mob we mean a large group of people not the mafia.
The target audience is anyone who is interested in current affairs (news, entertainment, sport etc.) and want to not only consume information but wants to have a say.
It's for all the people out there that the "official" public opinion polling companies don't poll. We want the mob to give us their opinion and have their voice heard on the big and the small topics.
We are looking for a logo to represent MobMouth
1. Clean & modern. We're open to any design ideas.
2. We are looking for something funky. Something playing up on the word 'mob' (many people, large crowds, angry mob etc.) Other images we have in mind are speech bubbles, picket/protest signs and flaming torch. If you can incorporate any of these into your designs abstractly that would be the direction we want to head in.
3. Want a coloured design on white background and a version that works on a black/dark background.
4. No clip art or stock images
5. Have fun doing it...!

Ice Cubes
As a kid I loved Ice Cubes. They're little squares of hazelnut mockolate. Their unique selling proposition included the fact that they were individual pieces that sold for 10 cents a piece and had a wild, cool feeling on the tongue when they melted instantly.
I remember buying them at the student union on the Kent State University campus when I was a kid waiting for my mother to be done with classes or my father to be done with work. (I usually panhandled to get the money to buy them, I was pretty shameless in the lengths I would go to get my fix.) Later when I was in college on my own I would use my meal points at the Jolly Giant Commons to buy these by the tub.
The little candies have been around since the mid-thirties, made in Germany by a small company called Nappo and sold by Albert's in the States. They're similar to the Caffarel Gianduia, except for the fact that they're made with partially hydrogenated coconut oil instead of nut paste and chocolate.
I was really excited to find these looking so smart and crisp at The Candy Store in San Francisco on Friday. I see them every once in a while, but they always look sad and melted. The Candy Store had a whole jar of pristine looking Ice Cubes in both wrappers (they're switching to a gold wrapper from the traditional blue and white so there's a crossover right now).
They don't smell like much, a little sweet, a little nutty, but nothing like chocolate. They have a soft bite and an immediate hit of cool on the tongue. They melt quickly (as partially hydrogenated coconut oil has a melting point of 76 degrees F) and have a decent mix of nutty flavors, a little milkiness and a little hit of cocoa. A little grainy, they're not quite as good as I remember.
Now, for the sobering part. Read the ingredients: partially hydrogenated coconut oil, sugar, low fat cocoa, dried sweet whey, soy flour, hazelnut paste, soy lecithin, artificial vanilla flavor.
There is no nutritional info included with these, but this page tells me that just one of them is 22% of my daily value of saturated fat (65 calories).
So while I enjoyed this little trip back in time to taste those little cubes of obsession and trans fats, now that I'm all grown up and have found good sources of candy, I don't think I'll ever eat these again now that I've found Caffarel Gianduias. (The traditional ones are perfect, the novelty shaped ones are fun & make a cute stocking stuffer.) In fact, at The Candy Store the price for Caffarel and Ice Cubes was identical ... 75 cents each. I bought a handful of Fig and Chestnut ones ... something I'll feel a little less guilty about eating.

So Easter is over and your supply of Peeps are gone and there's no hope of more until Halloween. Where do you turn?
I thought Marpoles, which are long twists of pastel colored marshmallow, might be a good subsitute.
The twists are soft and flexible and covered in starch, instead of colored sugar. They're also lightly flavored. I think it's strawberry, but it's hard to be sure. They smell kind of like cotton candy.
It was soft without being too foamy. Most of all, I had a good time playing with them: tying them in knots, rolling them up into discs and braiding them together. I even put one in the microwave, which made it puff up really big and become sun-surface hot on the inside. I didn't really taste any different but it made the microwave smell like strawberry Pop-Tarts.
These aren't really a fair replacement for Peeps, but they're passably tasty. I can't really see myself eating these as a treat, but they might be fun for decorating other sweet edibles.
There might be some creative applications like decorating cupcake trees or creating summer dessert kebabs. You could probably cut them smaller and dip them in chocolate or use them for chocolate fountains. They're a nice treat for kids, as they're only 40 calories each but look really big, if I were doing a kids party, they might be a nice favor. If you're decorating your dessert table you could use these as napkin rings and tie them around the napkin and fork. At 10 cents each, there are a lot of possibilities.

Crunchy Pixies!
Name: Neon Lasers
I had high hopes for these, though I've steered clear of pixie stix and smarties for some years. I love the pure sugar rush, but of course hate the crash. I consider pixie sticks and smarties to pretty much be candy cocaine.
Pixie stix are notoriously expensive, which baffles me. They're sugar and some sour stuff, probably citric acid or malic acid. That's it. Maybe they're hard to produce, stuffing them into those little paper tubes.
These Neon Lasers are in plastic tubes and are they ever tough to open. If you're lucky, you get one that opens when you crack the seal at one end by pressing the little seal the opposite direction that it's flattened. Otherwise, just keep some scissors handy.
Upon pouring about a third of a laser into my mouth, I found that it was not power, but little grains, well, really large grains. A cross between sea salt and kosher salt. The crunchy part is just sugar and the little grit around it is the flavor. Will seemed only slightly more pleased with them than I was, but given the opportunity to take them home, he declined. I'd venture that meant a low rating from him too.
I'm wholly unpressed. It's not really that they taste bad, they just aren't worth the trouble.
Rating: 3 out of 10.

On April 17, twenty-five FedEx employees, directed by the guidance of Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW), performed a volunteer service project that will set the stage for the restoration of a tributary in the Wissahickon Valley Park, along Forbidden Drive behind Chestnut Hill Academy, unofficially known as Valley Green Run.
Volunteers removed invasive plant species along Valley Green Run and planted two new trees in a rain garden that filled in with debris during Hurricane Irene on the far side of the parking lot closest to the Valley Green Inn. The project was the first step towards the larger FOW goal of stabilizing 350 linear feet of the stream and preserving the beauty and natural habitat of the historic park. Large-scale tributary restoration will begin this summer.
"As much as we work in and around Philadelphia we don't get as much time to get out in green space," said Martin Diguglielmo, Senior Manager of the Philadelphia FedEx location, and one of the volunteers.
This year FOW was one of 14 nonprofits from around the country selected by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and FedEx to receive funding as part of the company's Earth Smart Outreach campaign, a collaboration with the NFWF, now in its fourth year.
For years, with a recognizable increase in 2004, 2006, 2008, 2011 and other recent years, aggressive storms have flooded the Wissahickon, causing erosion and various elements of the park's infrastructure to need to be restored over time.
"Every storm it gets dramatically worse," said Ruffian Tittmann, FOW Director of Development and Operations.
When the final restoration of the Valley Green Run is completed, the adjacent parking lot will have also been resurfaced, according to Henry Stroud, FOW Project manager. Stream work is designed to improve stream degradation like erosion and adjust the slope of the hill that ascends beyond the stream.
Heavy machinery will excavate debris that have been swept into the stream. Then, according to Stroud, the stream will be rebuilt. That work will begin in July and will take about 12 weeks, according to Tittmann. The asphalt lot work will take four to six weeks. When that work is completed, FOW will replant native species, according to Stroud. The project is funded by sources including the Chestnut Hill Community Fund, Philadelphia Authority for Industrial Development, and with the kind support of labor and material from the Philadelphia Water Department, according to Tittmann.
"For us it made more sense to get the invasives out first," said Stroud. "When then the machines get in, it would spread around and cause a larger problem. […] If that erosion continued unmitigated you could see the loss of really important park habitat and tree species."
FedEx provided a grant of $30,500 for FOW, leveraging $9,500 in funding through NFWF and $388,500 from local matching sources for a total impact of $428,500 benefiting FOW for this project.
The water in the Wissahickon Creek directly affects the drinking quality of the water in Center City and Northwest Philadelphia, according to both Stroud and Tittmann. The Wissahickon Creek empties at the confluence of the creek and the Schuylkill River by the Queen Lane Water Treatment Plant, which treats an average of 70 million gallons of water a day.
In recognition of FedEx's 40th Anniversary, it named April as its Global Month of Service. The company hosts FedEx Cares volunteer service projects each year and two outreach projects each year. Employees decide if they want to participate.
For Jess DeCray, this was her fifth FedEx Cares service project. The projects have provided her the opportunity to work at various parks in the Philadelphia area as well as meet employees she might not have ever encountered.
"A lot of these people I don't even know because they're from different buildings," said DeCray, who has worked for FedEx for seven-and-a-half years. "I just feel like it's a good thing to do for the community."
"I think it's awesome to come out and see stuff that's actually going to make a change," said Alex Karbow, a Northeast Philadelphia resident.
Those restorations take time and money. The more FOW continues to apply and be selected for grants like this, according to Tittmann, the more likely the group is to be awarded additional grants, as long as it can demonstrate the value of work realized through the money it receives.
Clean up Saturday
The Friends of the Wissahickon (FOW) and the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association (WVWA) are joining forces to clean the Wissahickon Creek from top to bottom on Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to noon.
This spring marks the 43rd anniversary of the Wissahickon Valley Watershed Association's annual Creek Clean Up, and the fourth year that FOW has teamed up with WVWA to clean all 21 miles of the Wissahickon Creek. Volunteers of all ages will clean the creek, its surrounding trails, and its many tributaries. Armed with bags, volunteers will be assigned to sections of the creek to collect anything from plastic bags and swing sets, to mattresses and tires.
Following the clean up, all volunteers are invited to WVWA's Talkin' Trash picnic held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fort Washington Park's Flourtown Pavilion on Mill Road in Flourtown.
To help out in Montgomery County, all volunteers must be pre-assigned a section of the Wissahickon Creek or a tributary to clean. Sites range from Lansdale to Flourtown. WVWA will provide bags and tell you where to place your trash when you finish your section. Please contact Bob Adams, WVWA Director of Stewardship, at 215-646-8866 x14 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Please indicate the name, size, age range of your group, and if you plan to stay for the picnic.
To work with the Friends of the Wissahickon in Philadelphia, meet at the pavilion along Forbidden Drive, a short distance south of the intersection of Forbidden Drive and Northwestern Ave. (19118). Volunteers will help clean up along the creek, and nearby areas of the park and neighborhood. Parking is available along Northwestern Ave. and other nearby streets, but limited. Volunteers are encouraged to bike or carpool to the event. To participate, register on the FOW website at www.fow.org. Please indicate if you plan to attend the picnic. Contact Volunteer Coordinator Eric Falk with questions at 215-247-0417 x107 or email@example.com.

PERU — The St. Bede Bruins managed to rally back and beat the Princeton Tigers Monday afternoon 9-8 in eight innings.
It was a wild game with very few earned runs, some big rallies, and three lead changes. In the end, St. Bede starting pitcher Brandon Piotrowski's walk-off double to deep center field would seal the game.
"It felt great to get the hit. I was trying to get the bunt down and I decided to swing. But, I got the bag," Postula said.
Coming into the seventh, the Bruins were down three after Princeton scored in four consecutive innings to go ahead 8-4 after initially being down 4-0.
Princeton went three up and three down in the top of the inning and St. Bede seized the opportunity, tying the game up at 8-all with a Texas Leaguer to right by Bob Morrow.
The Bruins' bats got started early scoring four runs after a leadoff single from Logan Bima. Princeton responded to that effort, scoring three runs after Matt Hayes lead off with a base hit in the top of the third inning. Hayes was 3-4 at the plate nearly matching Piotrowski's 4-4 batting effort.
The Tigers continued to add runs scoring three in the fourth and two in the fifth to put their lead at 8-4.
The Bruins added one in the bottom of the fifth inning to help what would ultimately become a win in extra innings.
Brad Groleau picked up the win in relief pitching the eighth inning. Michael Bellino also pitched a scoreless inning in relief.

Theta Delta Chi's recent Chapel Sing win is just the latest in a string of successes in 2008. The Theta Delts had finished in the top five at Chapel Sing before, but won it outright this year.
That just continued a trend for Wabash's smallest, but growing, fraternity.
Theta Delta Chi received recognition at the fraternity's national convention in August at Las Vegas. The Wabash chapter, Upsilon Deuteron, won two major awards: Robert N. LoParo Philanthropy and Service Cup, which is awarded to the chapter that "devotes itself to bettering its social being." The Wabash chapter also won the Guy C. Pierce Improvement Cup, given to the chapter that "shows the greatest improvement."
The chapter was second nationally in the Victory Cup, "awarded to the chapter with the best overall record for the year."
For their efforts, officers Kyle O'Keefe '08 and Jim Leuke '09 were featured on the cover of the latest issue of the Theta Delta Chi magazine, The Shield.
"This is a tremendous accomplishment for a Wabash fraternity that looked as though it might be near extinction with dwindling numbers and poor morale 3-4 years ago," said chapter advisor and Professor of Religion Jon Baer. "Our Theta Delts have worked tremendously hard to bring new life and energy to their Charge, and we as a college should be very proud of them."
The chapter had dwindled to five members in 2005, Baer wrote in a letter of recommendation to the national fraternity. Moral was low he said and the future was much in doubt. The chapter changed its recruiting and pledgeship process and has grown significantly since.
The Theta Delts currently have 23 brothers and nine pledges, making for tight quarters in their Washington Avenue house.
That's a problem which concerns current President Grant Gussman, even as he celebrates recent successes.
"By increasing our membership so much, we've begun to stretch the limits of occupancy in our tiny old house," Gussman '09 said. "We've tried to maximize the space we have (i.e. renovating the basement to make it livable, building a loft in the cold dorm), but we still can only accommodate 25 people (about 18 comfortably). We are in the process of writing and revising a proposal for a new fraternity house, which we hope to submit to the College soon."
Gussman also noted the house has achieved a grade point average above the College average in the past few years. He notes the fraternity members have become much more involved in campus athletics and extra curricular activities.

Samson Synth 7 Earset Professional UHF Wireless System
About This Product
Samson Synth 7 Earset Professional UHF Wireless System
Samson's Synth 7 Earset Wireless System delivers the performance and features normally reserved for more expensive systems. The system's all-metal receiver and transmitter each feature a user-friendly LCD display for superior performance monitoring. Also including an auto frequency spectrum analyzer, 100 channel options, a 300' wireless range and Samson's SE10 earset microphone, the Synth 7 Earset delivers high definition sound and professional UHF wireless performance at an unbeatable price.
Dynamic Display
Synth 7's UR7 Wireless Receiver was designed with dark stage environments in mind. Unlike hard-to-read dot matrix or simple backlit displays on other wireless receivers, Synth 7 features a bright full-color LCD that allows you to clearly monitor settings such as transmitter battery life, receiver volume level, RF signal strength and operating channel. The display enables faster setup and allows you to lock your settings to avoid performance interruptions.
Worry Free Setup
Since 1980, Samson's mission has been to take the worry out of wireless. Synth 7 honors that goal with its 1-touch auto frequency spectrum analyzer. This tool not only selects the optimal operating frequency for a given location, but it provides a full readout of the RF spectrum for a clear picture of your specific wireless environment. In addition, Synth 7's IR Set allows you to wirelessly sync your transmitter to the receiver's operating frequency.
Superior Sound
Samson's all-metal UB7 Beltpack Transmitter comes with Samson's SE10 earset microphone, featuring a miniature condenser capsule, moisture-resistant design and a locking connector. Complete with its own LCD for monitoring battery life (up to 15 hours on two AA batteries) and current operating channel, the UB7 was meticulously crafted to meet the demands of serious performers.
Multiple Systems
With Synth 7, up to 20 systems can be operated simultaneously (region dependent) in the same location. As you introduce more performers, the Group Scan feature makes the setup of multiple systems both fast and easy. This function allows you to see how many channels within the group are clean, clear and ideal for use.
Performance Security
Synth 7 counteracts interference from unlicensed white space and other stray RF signals. An adjustable Squelch control sets the threshold level of the receiver's reception sensitivity, ensuring unwanted RF signals go unnoticed by your audience. Also, a pilot Tone Key blocks invading signals when your transmitter is turned off or out of range. Finally, the system's true diversity circuitry effectively eliminates multi-path interference.
Synth 7 Earset Features:
• Premium UHF wireless system.
• Rugged all-metal construction on receiver and transmitter.
• 1/4" audio cable, AC adapter and rackmount kit included.
UR7 Wireless Receiver

You are missing the point Raymond. Eng-1 is stating sn 312390 as a break point for CUBS, not Lo-Boys! It does not state that the head is NOT used in Lo-boys below that number. I concluded from ENG-1 that all 154's used the newer head and that Cubs did not begin using the newer head until the "New" International Cub in 1975.

At yesterday's hearing, Ted Cruz, in addition to showing that Chuck Hagel has slandered both Israel and the U.S., raised an important procedural concern. He pointed out that Hagel has submitted to the Committee only four of his speeches from the past five years. This, despite the fact that Hagel's financial records show that he was paid for 12 speeches in the last year alone.
Obviously, the Senate needs to review the full Hagelian body of work before passing judgment on his fitness for Secretary of Defense, particularly given the former Senator's propensity for packing controversial and offensive comments into a very few sentences. Unless there is a good reason why the text of Hegal's other speeches cannot be provided, Republicans should block the confirmation process until Hagel is more forthcoming.
Even more problematic is Hagel's failure, according to Cruz, to respond to a request for a list of the private entities that have paid paid him during the past five years, including foreign organizations and sources. Given Hagel's pro-Arab/Iranian, anti-Israeli views, it's not a surprise that Hagel has been linked with various outfits that are working to bring about a major shift in U.S. Middle Eastern policy. To cite just one example, according to this open letter:
Hagel is a paid member of Deutsche Bank's Americas Advisory Board, which is under U.S. investigation for violating sanctions by siphoning billions of dollars through its U.S. branches to Iran, Sudan, and other sanctioned nations. Perhaps this explains why Hagel, who sat on the Senate Banking Committee, was only one of two senators who in 2008 voted against sanctioning nations that do certain business with Iran.
Hagel can accept money from anyone he wants, as long as he doesn't violate the law. But the Senate is entitled to know which organizations, especially foreign ones, have been paying him.
Again, Republicans should not allow this nomination to proceed until Hagel provides the requested information. And the Committee's hearing should be held open to permit additional questioning when/if he provides it.

Even with a team that is struggling and a fan base that is restless, Brady Hoke took a calming approach to discussing Saturday's game against Ohio State. It is a game that many Michigan fans don't think Hoke can win. Some Michigan fans may be hoping he doesn't.
Even with a team that is struggling and a fan base that is restless, Brady Hoke took a calming approach to discussing Saturday's game against Ohio State. It is a game that many Michigan fans don't think Hoke can win. Some Michigan fans may be hoping he doesn't.
The honeymoon in Ann Arbor is over. Hoke's job isn't necessarily in danger, win or lose Saturday, but there are some on his coaching staff whose jobs may be. Hoke's hot seat starts on simmer in 2014.
Reading Hoke isn't easy. He teeters between looking like a disheveled genius, and Bluto from "Animal House." Would anyone really be surprised if Hoke took the field wrapped in a sheet chanting, "Toga! Toga! Toga!" Saturday afternoon?
The state of Michigan's football program is, like it or not, in Hoke's glazed-donut stained hands. His team has lost four of its last six games, the offense has looked inept at times, confused at others and a few times brilliant. There were close calls against, ahem, Akron and Connecticut, not to mention snatching defeat from the jaws of victory last week against Iowa.
While even many Michigan fans don't believe the Wolverines have a chance against third-ranked Ohio State on Saturday in Michigan Stadium, Hoke and his players aren't listening to the noise. Or they're pretending to contend.
"I'm very confident (an upset) could happen or we wouldn't play. I'd call down to Columbus and say we won't do it," Hoke said.
The Wolverines aren't calling off Saturday's game. Nor should they. But very confident?
Hoke was asked about shifting goals now that most of them are out of reach, save beating Ohio State. He talked about the main goal still being the same, which is to play for the seniors.
The only teams playing for the seniors are the ones who can't play for anything else at this point.
But then again, the Wolverines talk like they believe they can win ... sorta.
"Because we have heart. Because this team believes in themselves," said co-captain and left tackle Taylor Lewan, who leads the team with 46 starts. "It doesn't matter what any media, any fans, anybody thinks about this team. The only thing that matters is the guys in the locker room believe.
"I don't care if there's a trainer on the team that's like 'I don't believe.' That doesn't matter. You're not playing the game. The University of Michigan is all we got. ... If we all believe, then we can win a game, a single game. I don't care what the margin of score is. Saturday all bets are off. We're playing football and anything can happen."
Ohio State players expect to get Michigan's best game of the season. They should and they will.
The Wolverines aren't looking at Saturday as a chance to ruin Ohio State's season.
It isn't that simple.
"We don't talk about that," Hoke said. "We talk about ourselves and what we have to do."
Because, really, ruining Ohio State's season isn't going to wash the stench of Michigan's away. The Buckeyes still can go to the Rose Bowl even with a loss to the Wolverines.
"(Snapping OSU's 23-game winning streak) would be great, but I haven't thought about it," Lewan said. "I'm focusing on Michigan and trying to figure that whole thing out. ... As far as hypothetical situations ... if we win the game, I'll talk to y'all Saturday and tell you how excited I am."
That doesn't exactly exude confidence.
To say Hoke has a firm grasp on this program and where it's heading isn't exactly fair. It is unknown.
You can't blame Hoke for the weird science experiment in Ann Arbor that was Rich Rodriguez. However, Hoke's recruiting classes should have started to mask the oil and water nature of Rodriguez's talent evaluation.
Still, Hoke is leading a program that has lost 10 of the last 12 games to Ohio State. The only win since 2004 came two years ago when Luke Fickell was using a bucket to drain the water from the OSU ship that the NCAA tried to sink.
Michigan and Ohio State will always be storied rivals in a series that was voted as the best rivalry in sports by ESPN, a notch above Ali-Frazier. The Buckeyes are, again, a heavyweight.
The Wolverines are trying to become more than an oversight. Michigan will be back, soon, and an equal to Ohio State.
Hoke and his players are preaching consistency this week. It has eluded them most of the season, which is why they're on the cusp of a five-loss season. It's why Akron almost beat them ... at home.
You want to know how to change things?
Look at what Urban Meyer has done with Ohio State.
The secret?
"Consistency," Meyer said. "Every once in a while you take a peek at the scoreboard, you see scores. You go what happened there? For this team to do it 23 times in a row, that's an incredible testimony ... to the players. Tuesday's practices are not a box of chocolates around here. Every week you better show up, or you stick out like a sore thumb."
Right now, Michigan is that thumb. Wolverine fans wanted Hoke to be the guy. Now that confidence is wavering. Hoke is marching on, but looking over his shoulder.
Instead, he ought to be looking at who is way out in front.

CHICAGO (AP) — Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. spoke out about his treatment for depression for the first time since the start of his secretive, four-month leave of absence, releasing a robocall Saturday to his south Chicago constituents in which he asks for patience while he recovers.
The 47-year-old Illinois Democrat and son of civil rights leader the Rev. Jesse Jackson quietly went on leave in early June and hasn't appeared publicly since, despite seeking re-election for a ninth term in office. Jackson's office didn't publicly disclose he had gone on leave until two weeks into it, and it initially refused to specify the nature of his illness or even say where he was. It was later revealed he had been hospitalized for treatment of bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal problems, first at a facility in Arizona and later at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
He was released in September and returned to the family's home in Washington, but has yet to return to the campaign trail with barely two and a half weeks to go before Election Day.
"Like many human beings, a series of events came together in my life at the same time and they have been difficult to sort through," Jackson said in the automated phone call. "I am human. I am doing my best. I am trying to sort through them all."
Jackson thanked his supporters and said he is "starting to heal" but that his doctors tell him the road to recovery is a long one.
"I am anxious to return to work on your behalf, but at this time it is against medical advice, and while I will always give my all to my constituents, I ask for your continued patience as I work to get my health back," he said.
The timing of the leave also has raised questions, since it comes as Jackson is under a House Ethics Committee investigation for ties to Illinois' imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The committee is looking into allegations that Jackson was involved in discussions about raising money for Blagojevich's campaign in exchange for the then-governor appointing him to President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat. Blagojevich has been imprisoned since March on corruption charges, including having tried to sell the seat.
Jackson has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
Jackson, who first won office in 1995, is on the November ballot with two little-known candidates. He's widely expected to win re-election.

No. 1 Baylor is more than a solo act, even with Brittney Griner dominating so much.
Griner is having another All-America season. But the 6-foot-8 junior isn't the only reason the Lady Bears (30-0) can wrap up their first undefeated regular season Saturday against Iowa State.
Feisty sophomore point guard Odyssey Sims can score and also frustrates opposing ball-handlers. Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey says bringing the ball up the floor against Sims is as hard as guarding Griner.
Sims is among several guards who provide tenacious perimeter defense. The Bears also have a pair of 6-1 post players who are tough inside. And all five starters are back next season.

Fan Advisories, Timeline for Saturday's Game
Sr. Assoc. Athletic Director
BATON ROUGE - LSU is advising fans to arrive early for the Tigers' game against Alabama on Saturday in preparation for a larger than usual number of people on the LSU campus.
ESPN Gameday will broadcast live from the LSU Parade Ground on Saturday morning. At 8 a.m. the show will air live on ESPNU and beginning at 9 a.m. it will be shown live on ESPN. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and park east of Highland Road if they are not staying for the football game.
Fans are reminded that backpacks are not permitted in Tiger Stadium, no exceptions. Bags larger than 8"x11" are also not permitted. Fans are strongly encouraged to follow these rules to expedite entry into the stadium and to reduce delays. Leaving bags or other items at the gates is strongly discouraged.
Fans are encouraged to tailgate responsibly, to pick up trash around their tailgate locations and to practice safety with cookers and grills.
There will be limited pedestrian access to gates in the southeast corner of the stadium for fans coming from South Stadium Drive due to a construction zone. Gates most impacted by the construction zone are Gates 11, 12, 14, 18 (Tiger Den Suites) and 20 (East Ramp), as well as Portal B on the southwest corner of the stadium.
For fans who enter through Gates 11, 12, 14, 18 and 20 on the east side of the stadium, the encouraged pedestrian route is to use Fieldhouse Drive and walk down to the stadium via Powerhouse Lane and walkways by Hatcher Hall and Johnston Hall.
Although all gates will be open, fans who sit in the south end zone are encouraged to use Gates 1-3 on the west side of the stadium. Fans can go to www.LSUsports.net/SEZ for a map of the construction zone and suggested walking routes to the stadium.
In an effort to provide better service for the handicap patron shuttle, LSU will issue shuttle passes for use of the Alex Box West Handicap Shuttle. Only vehicles that use state issued handicap identification to park in the Alex Box West lot for handicap purposes will be issued shuttle passes. Upon entry to the Alex Box West lot an attendant will handout shuttle passes for the number of individuals in the car at that time.
Shuttle passes will be required for pregame and postgame use of the Handicap Shuttle.
Shuttle buses will only drop-off and pick-up on South Stadium Drive west of Portal B. Additional buses will be used for postgame to maximize the shuttle capacity back to the lot.
Because of the magnitude of the LSU vs. Alabama game, fans are reminded to beware of stolen and counterfeit tickets.
If a fan purchases a stolen or counterfeit ticket, he or she can be denied admission at the gates and subject to investigation.
There are several organized groups that travel to major sporting events and concerts and sell stolen and counterfeit items. LSU reminds fans that the only authorized outlet for LSU football tickets is the LSU Athletic Ticket Office, including the LSU Ticket Marketplace at www.LSUsports.net/marketplace. Purchasing tickets from other sources are done at the buyers' own risk.

|U.S. Department of
State, July 2000
Bureau of European Affairs
Background Notes:
Area: 83,857 sq. km. (32,377 sq. mi.); slightly smaller than
Nationality: Noun and adjective--Austrian(s).
Type: Parliamentary democracy.
GDP (1999): $207.9 billion.
Austrians are a homogeneous people; 92% are native German speakers.
Only two numerically significant minority groups exist--30,000 Slovenes in
Carinthia (south central Austria) and about 60,000 Croats in Burgenland
(on the Hungarian border). The Slovenes form a closely knit community.
Their rights as well as those of the Croats are protected by law and
generally respected in practice. The present boundaries of Austria, once
the center of the Habsburg Empire that constituted the second-largest
state in Europe, were established in accordance with the Treaty of St.
Germain in 1919. Some Austrians, particularly near Vienna, still have
relatives in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. About 78% of all
Austrians are Roman Catholic. The church abstains from political activity;
however, lay Catholic organizations are aligned with the conservative
People's Party. The Social Democratic Party long ago shed its anticlerical
stance. Small Lutheran minorities are located mainly in Vienna, Carinthia,
and Burgenland.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire played a decisive role in central European history. It occupied strategic territory containing the southeastern routes to western Europe and the north-south routes between Germany and Italy. Although present-day Austria is only a tiny remnant of the old empire, it retains this unique position.
Soon after the Republic of Austria was created at the end of World War I, it faced the strains of catastrophic inflation and of redesigning a government meant to rule a great empire into one that would govern only 6 million citizens. In the early 1930s, worldwide depression and unemployment added to these strains and shattered traditional Austrian society. Resultant economic and political conditions led in 1933 to a dictatorship under Engelbert Dollfuss. In February 1934, civil war broke out, and the Socialist Party was outlawed. In July, a coup d'etat by the National Socialists failed, but Dollfuss was assassinated by Nazis. In March 1938, Austria was incorporated into the German Reich, a development commonly known as the "Anschluss" (annexation).
At the Moscow conference in 1943, the Allies declared their intention
to liberate Austria and reconstitute it as a free and independent state.
In April 1945, both Eastern- and Western-front Allied forces liberated the
country. Subsequently, Austria was divided into zones of occupation
similar to those in Germany. Under the 1945 Potsdam agreements, the
Soviets took control of German assets in their zone of occupation. These
included 7% of Austria's manufacturing plants, 95% of its oil resources,
and about 80% of its refinery capacity. The properties were returned to
Austria under the Austrian State Treaty. This treaty, signed in Vienna on
May 15, 1955, came into effect on July 27, and, under its provisions, all
occupation forces were withdrawn by October 25, 1955. Austria became free
and independent for the first time since 1938.
The Austrian president convenes and concludes parliamentary sessions and under certain conditions can dissolve Parliament. However, no Austrian president has dissolved Parliament in the Second Republic. The custom is for Parliament to call for new elections if needed. The president requests a party leader, usually the leader of the strongest party, to form a government. Upon the recommendation of the Federal Chancellor, the president also appoints cabinet ministers. No one can become a member of the government without the approval of the president. The Federal Assembly (Parliament) is composed of two houses--the National Council (Nationalrat), or lower house, and the Federal Council (Bundesrat), or upper house. Legislative authority is concentrated in the National Council. Its 183 members are elected for a maximum 4-year term in a three-tiered system, based on proportional representation. The National Council may dissolve itself by a simple majority vote or it may be dissolved by the president on the recommendation of the Chancellor. The 64 members of the Federal Council are elected by the legislatures of the nine provinces for 4- to 6-year terms. The Federal Council only reviews legislation passed by the National Council and can delay but not veto its enactment.
The highest courts of Austria's independent judiciary are the Constitutional Court; the Administrative Court, which handles bureaucratic disputes; and the Supreme Court, for civil and criminal cases. Cases in the Administrative and Supreme Courts concerning constitutional issues can be appealed to the Constitutional Court. Justices of the three courts are appointed by the president for specific terms.
The governors of Austria's nine Laender (provinces) are elected by the provincial legislatures. Although most authority, including that of the police, rests with the federal government, the provinces have considerable responsibility for welfare matters and local administration. Strong provincial and local loyalties are based on tradition and history.

Since World War II, Austria has enjoyed political stability. A Socialist elder statesman, Dr. Karl Renner, organized an Austrian administration in the aftermath of the war, and general elections were held in November 1945. In that election, the conservative People's Party (OVP) obtained 50% of the vote (85 seats) in the National Council (lower house of Parliament), the Socialists won 45% (76 seats), and the communists won 5% (4 seats). The ensuing three-party government ruled until 1947, when the communists left the government and the OVP led a governing coalition with the socialists (now called the Social Democratic Party or SPO) that governed until 1966. Between 1970 and 1999, the SPO has ruled the country either alone or in conjunction with the OVP, except from 1983-86, when it governed in coalition with the Freedom Party. In 1999, the OVP formed a coalition with the right wing-populist Freedom Party (FPO). The SPO, which was the strongest party in the 1999 elections, and the Greens now form the opposition. As a result of the inclusion of the FPO on the government, the EU imposed a series of sanctions on Austria. The U.S. and Israel, as well as various other countries, also reduced contacts with the Austrian Government.
The Social Democratic Party traditionally draws its constituency from blue- and white-collar workers. Accordingly, much of its strength lies in urban and industrialized areas. In the 1995 national elections, it garnered 38% of the vote. The SPO in the past advocated heavy state involvement in Austria's key industries, the extension of social security benefits, and a full-employment policy. Beginning in the mid-1980s, it shifted its focus to free market-oriented economic policies, balancing the federal budget, and European Union (EU) membership.
The People's Party advocates conservative financial policies and
privatization of much of Austria's nationalized industry and finds support
from farmers, large and small business owners, and lay Catholic groups,
mostly in the rural regions of Austria. In 1995, it received 28% of the
vote. The rightist Freedom Party attracts protest votes and those who
desire no association with the other major parties. The party's mixture of
populism and anti-establishment themes propagated by its aggressive leader
Joerg Haider steadily gained support over the past years. It attracted
about 27% of the vote in the 1999 elections. The Liberal Forum, founded on
libertarian ideals, split from the Freedom Movement in February 1993. It
received 5.5% of the vote in the 1999 election and, thus, failed to
re-enter the national legislature. The Greens, a left-of-center party
focusing on environmental issues, received 4.4% of the vote in 1999.
Austria has a well-developed social market economy with a high standard of living in which the government has played an important role. Many of the country's largest firms were nationalized in the early post-war period to protect them from Soviet takeover as war reparations. For many years, the government and its state-owned industries conglomerate played a very important role in the Austrian economy. However, starting in the early 1990s, the group was broken apart, state-owned firms started to operate largely as private businesses, and a great number of these firms were wholly or partially privatized. Although the government's privatization work in past years has been very successful, it still operates some firms, state monopolies, utilities, and services. The new government has presented an ambitious privatization program, which, if implemented, will considerably reduce government participation in the economy. Austria enjoys well-developed industry, banking, transportation, services, and commercial facilities.
Although some industries, such as several iron and steel works and chemical plants, are large industrial enterprises employing thousands of people, most industrial and commercial enterprises in Austria are relatively small on an international scale.
Austria has a strong labor movement. The Austrian Trade Union Federation (OGB) comprises constituent unions with a total membership of about 1.5 million--more than half the country's wage and salary earners. Since 1945, the OGB has pursued a moderate, consensus-oriented wage policy, cooperating with industry, agriculture, and the government on a broad range of social and economic issues in what is known as Austria's "social partnership." The OGB has announced tough opposition against the new government's program for budget consolidation, social reform, and improving the business climate, and indications are rising that Austria's peaceful social climate could become more confrontational.
Austrian farms, like those of other west European mountainous countries, are small and fragmented, and production is relatively expensive. Since Austria's becoming a member of the EU in 1995, the Austrian agricultural sector has been undergoing substantial reform under the EU's common agricultural policy (CAP). Although Austrian farmers provide about 80% of domestic food requirements, the agricultural contribution to gross domestic product (GDP) has declined since 1950 to less than 3%.
Austria has achieved sustained economic growth. During the 1950s, the average annual growth rate was more than 5% in real terms and averaged about 4.5% through most of the 1960s. Following moderate real GDP growth of 1.7%, 2.0% and 1.2%, respectively, in 1995, 1996, and 1997, the economy rebounded and with real GDP expansion of 2.9% in 1998 and 2.2% in 1999.
Austria became a member of the EU on January 1, 1995. Membership brought economic benefits and challenges and has drawn an influx of foreign investors attracted by Austria's access to the single European market. Austria also has made progress in generally increasing its international competitiveness. As a member of the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), Austria's economy is closely integrated with other EU member countries, especially with Germany. On January 1, 1999, Austria introduced the new Euro currency for accounting purposes.
Starting January 2002, Euro notes and coins will be introduced and substitute for the Austrian schilling. Economists agree that the economic effects in Austria of using a common currency have been positive.
Trade with other EU countries accounts for almost 66% of Austrian imports and exports. Expanding trade and investment in the emerging markets of central and eastern Europe is a major element of Austrian economic activity. Trade with these countries accounts for almost 14% of Austrian imports and exports, and Austrian firms have sizable investments in and continue to move labor-intensive, low-tech production to these countries. Although the big investment boom has waned, Austria still has the potential to attract EU firms seeking convenient access to these developing markets.
Total trade with the United States in 1999 reached $6.6 billion.
Imports from the United States amounted to $3.7 billion, constituting a
U.S. market share in Austria of 5.4%. Austrian exports to the United
States in 1999 were $2.9 billion or 4.6% of total Austrian exports.
The 1955 Austrian State Treaty ended the four-power occupation and recognized Austria as an independent and sovereign state. In October 1955, the Federal Assembly passed a constitutional law in which "Austria declares of her own free will her perpetual neutrality." The second section of this law stated that "in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory." Since then, Austria shaped its foreign policy on the basis of neutrality.
In recent years, however, Austria began to reassess its definition of neutrality, granting overflight rights for the UN-sanctioned action against Iraq in 1991, and, since 1995, contemplating participation in the EU's evolving security structure. Also in 1995, it joined the Partnership for Peace, and subsequently participated in peacekeeping missions in Bosnia. Discussion of possible Austrian NATO membership intensified during 1996. OVP and FPO aim at moving closer to NATO or a European defense arrangement. The SPO, in turn, believes continued neutrality is the cornerstone of Austria's foreign policy, and a majority of the population generally supports this stance.
Austrian leaders emphasize the unique role the country plays as East-West hub and as a moderator between industrialized and developing countries. Austria is active in the United Nations and experienced in UN peacekeeping efforts. It attaches great importance to participation in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other international economic organizations, and it has played an active role in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
Vienna hosts the Secretariat of the OSCE and the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN Industrial Development Organization, and the UN Drug Control Program. Other international organizations based in Vienna include the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. Recently, Vienna added the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization and the Wassenaar Arrangement (a technology-transfer control agency) to the list of international organizations it hosts.
Austria traditionally has been active in "bridge-building to the east,"
increasing contacts at all levels with eastern Europe and the states of
the former Soviet Union. Austrians maintain a constant exchange of
business representatives, political leaders, students, cultural groups,
and tourists with the countries of central and eastern Europe. Austrian
companies are active in investing and trading with the countries of
central and eastern Europe. In addition, the Austrian Government and
various Austrian organizations provide assistance and training to support
the changes underway in the region.
Austria's political leaders and people recognize and appreciate the essential role played by U.S. economic assistance through the Marshall Plan in the reconstruction of their country after World War II, and by the U.S. in promoting the conclusion of the Austrian State Treaty. It is in the interest of the U.S. that the present friendly relations be maintained and strengthened and that Austria's political and economic stability be maintained.

This comes from the Scots Law News blog, to which one of this blogs friends, Scott Wortley, contributes. It looks at the law in an oblique and lighthearted way. The following story perhaps illustrates the point:
As the great Matt McGinn song testifies you can't fling a jeely piece from a twenty storey flat, however, we know that the Scottish criminal courts have previously considered the throwing of a hamster from a top flat window and in Feburary this year Edinburgh sheriff court considered the throwing of a microwave oven from a tenth floor flat.
Lea Farquharson threw the microwave oven from the tenth floor flat as her partner, Allan Addison, returned to the building following an earlier argument. This was done in a bid to "scare him". The oven smashed metres away from Mr Addison who was unhurt.
Ms Farquharson pleaded guilty to culpably and recklessly throwing a microwave oven to the danger of the public on 27 June 2009. Having explained that the action was taken in a "moment of madness" influenced by excessive consumption of alcohol, Ms Farquharson was sentenced to six months imprisonment by Sheriff Scott. He said,
"I am satisfied no sentence other than a custodial sentence is appropriate given the gravity of the offence and the potential danger to the public.
"Somebody could have come out of the basement of the block of flats and it could have been disastrous."
As cases involving the throwing of unusual items from upper flat windows seem to recur on a cyclical basis we await the next prosecution in early 2012.

LAFAYETTE — It's not every person who can claim he met the founder of a city that turns 125 years old this year. But Jim Hutchison can.
The 93-year-old Lafayette native was born the same year Mary Miller — who launched the city in 1889 out of the plains east of Louisville — died. They apparently crossed paths sometime in 1921 when someone told Miller "to come see the new baby."
Lafayette was a much different place back then, Hutchison said, with dirt roads, makeshift streetlights consisting of light bulbs suspended from wires, and a heck of a lot fewer folks around.
"I guess it isn't our town anymore," he said last week, standing in front of the Mary Miller Theater on East Simpson Street. "We share it with a lot of other people."
About 27,000, to be exact. And the city is embarking on an effort this year to make sure those residents know that 2014 is Lafayette's quasquicentennial — or 125th birthday — celebration.
Today marks the anniversary of the day in 1889 that Miller submitted incorporation papers to Boulder County. Nine months later, in November, the city passed its first ordinance and officially became a municipality by its own right.
Lafayette's 150th
Important dates in formation of Lafayette:
Aug. 3, 1843: Mary Miller is born in Geneseo, NY
Dec. 24, 1862: Mary and Lafayette Miller marry in Buchanan, Iowa
1868: Millers buy farm land in east Boulder County
1878: Lafayette Miller dies
1884: Coal deposits found on Miller farm
Feb. 3, 1888: Mary Miller files a plan for Lafayette original town site, 160 acres
July 1888: First houses appear in what is now Old Town
Feb. 23, 1889: Mary Miller files for incorporation with Boulder County
April 2, 1889: Voters approve incorporation of Lafayette 31-28
Nov. 9, 1889: Lafayette incorporated
November 1889: Mary Miller's oldest son becomes city's first mayor
Jan. 31, 1890: Incorporation signed by Colorado Secretary of State
Mary Miller not only named Lafayette after her husband, Lafayette Miller, but her life and times are evident in the city's street names:
Geneseo: Mary's birthplace in New York
Michigan: Mary's girlhood home
Cleveland: President Grover Cleveland
Cannon: Cannon Mine
Chester: President Arthur Chester
Emma: Mary's niece
Gough: Originally Couch, a local dentist (perhaps a typesetter's mistake)
Simpson: Simpson Mine
Iowa: Where Mary and Lafayette were married
Foote: Mary's maiden family name
Source: City of Lafayette
"We'll be doing things throughout the year to raise awareness about the city's history," Lafayette spokeswoman Debbie Wilmot said.
Miller's farm boomed
Miller and her husband, Lafayette Miller, arrived in eastern Boulder County from Iowa in 1868 and purchased 160 acres for $1.25 an acre.
They ran the farm for several years before moving to Boulder, where Lafayette Miller ran a butcher shop and served as town trustee. Mary Miller did a stint on the school board.
In 1878, Lafayette Miller suddenly died, and his widow, with six small children, moved back to the farm. She did more than an able job managing it, watching it grow to 1,280 acres and yield oats, corn, hay, wheat, grapes, currents, gooseberries and raspberries. Miller kept more than 100 head of horse and cattle and a drift of pigs on the land.
Six years after her husband's death, coal was found on the Miller farm. Soon after, the first mines were sunk in the area.
As the industry took off and Miller began receiving royalties from the mining operations, she platted 150 acres for the original town site of Lafayette, named after her late husband. The first houses appeared in 1888 in the area east of Public Road, between Emma Street and Baseline Road.
"This is Old Town," Hutchison said, gesturing to a quiet yet fiercely windy Simpson Street, which a few decades ago bustled with grocery stores and restaurants.
But no saloons. Hutchison said Miller was famous for her dislike of liquor and she included in the deed of every property she owned a clause that outlawed the sale or consumption of alcohol. To find Odd13 Brewing Co. across Simpson Street from where she donated a lot for a congregational church would have driven her insane, Hutchison said.
"She'd definitely be out here with her ax," he said.
In April 1889, voters narrowly approved incorporation — 31 to 28 — and Miller's son became Lafayette's first mayor.
Miller subdivided more of her land for new neighborhoods and by 1900 had become owner of Lafayette Bank — likely the only woman in the country at that time to serve as president of a bank.
For the next 20 years, Miller sided with striking miners by buying groceries for out-of-work families and deferring their mortgage payments. Her generosity eventually cost her the bank and her life savings.
She died in 1921, at the age of 79.
Preserving the history Miller built
"It was remarkable what she did at a time when women didn't have very much of a voice," Lafayette Historic Preservation Board Chairwoman Rebecca Schwendler said. "She had a business side and a soft side."
Schwendler said Lafayette needs to better recognize what Miller and others established here and guard against the erosion of that history. The city could take a stronger stance against demolition of older homes and place conditions on what can come in and take their place.
She said there have been six demolitions of old homes in the last 18 months.
"We've built up all this incredible diversity over 125 years," she said. "We'd like to see the city really kind of address infill better — perhaps requirements for new construction that would make it compatible with the existing Old Town properties."

Tomaso Albinoni
Short biography of a composer known mainly for his instrumental works
Contributor: James Sanderson
Tomaso Albinoni was born on June 14, 1671 in Venice. He was the eldest son of a wealthy paper merchant and landowner. The young Albinoni preferred to pursue a career as a composer rather than carry on the family business. He began his musical education at the age of 9 with violin and singing lessons. Unlike other musicians of the time, he had a comfortable private income, so he did not need to seek work from aristocratic patrons or the Church. Albinoni was particularly proud of his independent status. This enabled him to concentrate on his favourite areas: music for the stage and orchestral and instrumental works. Albinoni was unusual in taking little interest in the work of other composers, and his refusal to expose himself to outside influences gave his music unique character and style.
Much of his music dates from the height of the Baroque period. The art and architecture of that time are noted for their soaring sense of light and space, and much of Albinoni's music embodies the same celestial spirit. It often sounds as if it is floating serenely and passing from a shadow into a sunlit mood. This period in the arts saw many dramatic changes and developments in music. One of these was the growth of opera into the grandest and most spectacular form of entertainment. There was also the proliferation of instrumental music, especially for stringed instruments, bringing with it such important new forms as the sonata and the concerto.
Italy was the scene of much of this pioneering, and Venetian Tomaso Albinoni was at the heart of it, composing operas and other stage works as well as concertos and sonatas, in prodigious quantities. Today, the work of some of his close Italian contemporaries - notably Corelli and Vivaldi - may be better known, but Albinoni enriched opera with his gift for melody. In the field of instrumental music, he also made an important contribution to establishing the form and style of the concerto.
A prolific and popular composer, Albinoni wrote over fifty operas. Sadly, the majority have long been forgotten and only a dozen or so still survive. Nonetheless, many more of Albinoni's orchestral and instrumental works have lasted to the present day, including his Oboe Concerto in D minor, Trumpet Concerto in D Major, and Trio Sonata for Violin and Cello with Organ Accompaniment. The full number of the composer's works may never be known. Some have been lost and others are of doubtful authenticity. Scholars estimate that Albinoni was responsible for almost 300 works, including operas, sonatas, and other instrumental pieces. Albinoni's better known works include a collection of pioneering oboe concertos. His instrumental works, including trio sonatas and concertos, were greatly admired by J S Bach.
It is ironic that Albinoni's fame stems from a piece of music to which he actually contributed only a handful of notes. In spite of his prolific production, Albinoni's name lives today because of one haunting piece, Adagio in G Minor, that was not written but only sketched by him. In the 1940s, the Italian scholar Remo Giazotto found a fragment of music in Albinoni's writing and based this piece on it. Albinoni had written a bass line, repeating the same notes over and over again; it was his twentieth century editor who added elegiac harmonies and an expressive, elusive tune to produce this beautiful piece.
Tomaso Albinoni died on January 17th, 1751 in Venice
