Main :: James Tyler Variax Guitars
Support community for JTV.
by drdamski on 2013-01-27 11:50:04.8970
Hi All,
I've been wanting a variax for a while. I've also been needing a decent Double Locking Trem guitar for a while. It's a case of one or the other - don't have the budget for both... but now...
I'm really hoping that the JTV-89F (Korean) is going to be a great guitar (before you get into the Variax stuff): have great tone and tuning stability - this really would kill 2 birds with 1 stone - and you'd almost never need another guitar!
Only question is would it work well with a Tremel-no device to provide the functionality of a fixed bridge guitar, essential for certain styles?
Anyone got any insight on this? I believe they are designed to work well with pretty much any floating trem (I believe Rob Balducci has used them Ibanez locking trems) - I may not get the opportunity to have a look in the back of a JTV-89f unless I go ahead and order it... would be nice to get a feel for this before doing so.
Many thanks for your help!

According to this:
it's not compatible. I mean, graphtech is not specifically named on that list, but are their tremolos so different from the ones on the list?
If I were you, I would visit their websites and find out

I would be supprised if it didn't work as the floyd bridge they are using uses a standard rout for the body cavity. At least what is evident in the pictures.

Thanks for your thoughts guys.
I've emailed Tremel-no and will let you know what I hear back.
I'm also gonna ask Line 6 directly - see what they think...

Just got a reply from the nice people at Tremel-no:
" For the Floyd Rose trem, you will want the Small Clamp-type (p/n# BP-2007-010). It will work great with that trem system."

You might want to also take a look at the Super-Vee MagLok. It worked out so well on the JTV-69 that I'm planning to put one on my Strat and PRS Custom24 as well. I've always been bugged by floating tremolo "dive" under aggressive bending. This gadget totally eliminates it while minimally affecting deliberate usage of the bar.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

AltaVista Inc gets jobs hatchet out…
AltaVista Inc is to sack some of its workforce in California, the company will announce later today.
According to reports the company will also centralise its operations at its HQ in Palo Alto.
It's not how many employees will get the chop but workers in Europe are safe.
Vesey Crichton, AltaVista Europe's marketing and strategy director, told Reg this morning that the downsizing in California was just concerned with the US.
"This will not effect anything in Europe," he said.
To prove his point he said that the European operation was performing out of its skin, with its portal currently serving more than nine million pages a day compared to just a million at the beginning of the year.
In May AltaVista Inc sacked 40 people in a bid to cut cost and save money.
And earlier this month CMGI, Alta Vista's parent company, announced it was taking measures to improve its "path to profitability"
Perhaps AltaVista, as a CMGI company, is cutting jobs to help CMGI along its way. ®

New Technology Ups the Speed, Connectivity and Mobility for First Responders
For first responders, a single misinterpretation can put lives at risk. A single minute can be the difference between safety and danger. Efficiency and connectivity are crucial to the lifesaving work of first responders in our communities.
From assessment, to planning to action, the technology that Lockheed Martin is working on – and partnering with others on – is helping to support first responders in your community across their entire mission.
Allowing first responders to identify and respond to an issue before it becomes a crisis is an important use for unmanned technology.
First responders can use unmanned technology to map neighborhoods before and after disasters to identify where critical infrastructure may be damaged. Unmanned aircraft like the Indago quadrotor can enter fragile or hazardous areas and locations that traditional aircraft and ground vehicles can't get to.
Amid the chaos of natural and manmade disasters, first responders from various agencies may have a hard time acting quickly if their equipment and resources are not designed with mobility and connectivity in mind.
"The biggest challenge first responders have during a natural disaster is not having the ability to quickly set up a mobile command center and coordinate with agencies on multiple levels," said Lockheed Martin senior capture manager John Olsen.
Depending on the disaster, agencies may be involved from the local, state or even federal levels, and span fire departments, emergency medical services, law enforcement and relief organizations like the Red Cross.
And while it's great to have all of these resources available, Olsen said, each agency may have radios or telephones that are incompatible with other devices, hindering communications efforts when it matters most.
Connecting all emergency services is the goal of the Universal Communications Platform, or UCP. The technology behind the UCP transforms any radio system into a fully IP-based network – facilitating, monitoring, and allowing control and dispatch from any location with a network connection and a smart phone, laptop or PC.
"With the Universal Communications Platform in place, first responders can now connect to one infrastructure, increasing the communications network with other agencies to increase response time with rescue efforts," said Olsen, who is also a member of the Tioga County Sheriff's Department Emergency Response Team, and a deputy fire coordinator for Special Operations in Owego, New York.
After a response team deploys, there is still a need to recover.
Lockheed Martin's infrastructure analytics technology streamlines and automates the process of identifying downed power lines, broken utility poles and flooded areas.
"New technology allows us to capture data using a high tech sensor pod mounted on a helicopter," said Bob Zendarski, senior manager of Distribution Technologies at Lockheed Martin UK. "The sensor pod is able to capture detailed three-dimensional imagery and HD video. Through our analytics, we can now provide damage information more quickly, more affordably and more accurately to utilities, municipalities and first responder agencies, which helps speed recovery."
(Right) After data is captured by the helicopter-sensor pod, Lockheed Martin's infrastructure analytics technology uses the aerial imagery to identify areas of high concern and provide analytics to first responders.
First responders have long relied on manned aircraft to conduct aerial search and rescue operations. Now, Lockheed Martin has partnered with Project Lifesaver International to bring unmanned capabilities to humanitarian search and rescue efforts for children and vulnerable adults prone to wandering.
The Indago, which can feature an innovative lightweight antenna and receiver, is now available for Project Lifesaver agencies to rapidly locate special needs individuals who have wandered from their homes.
"Indago's ability to provide an eye-in-the-sky in just minutes enables first responders to increase their effectiveness in locating wandering persons and reuniting them with their families," said Jay McConville, director of business development for Lockheed Martin Unmanned Systems.
"Indago can be unfolded and deployed within five minutes, as opposed to traditional manned aircraft that require pre-flight preparation before being deployed."

Washington—Some much needed heart warming news out of Washington today. In its monthly tally of total U.S. retail sales, the U.S. Department of Commerce reported today that overall sales edged up last month, beating economists' expectations.
Overall retail sales rose 0.2% last month to some $431.9 billion. Meanwhile economists had expected only a 0.1% increase.
Auto sales, which had a banner year in 2013, sank 1.8%, a slowdown likely due to bad weather.
Clothing, Accessories Sales Rise
Excluding auto sales along with gasoline, building materials and food services, retail sales were even better, rising 0.7% after a 0.2% increase in November. These so-called core sales, which account for the consumer spending portion of the gross domestic product, indicate that there is some momentum in the economy the final weeks of 2013.
Of the 13 major merchant categories tracked by the Commerce Department, seven reported gains. Notably, clothing and clothing accessories stores' sales increased 1.8% from November while unadjusted year-over-year sales were up 5.2%. Economists speculated that the cold weather in December may have helped spur apparel sales, yet increased promotions may have eaten at retailers' profits on those sales.
Sales in consumer electronics, health, groceries, and personal care stores all increased, while furniture and appliances, building and garden stores posted decreases.
"If you look at what lifted spending–food, gasoline, clothing, online shopping– are all things you can expect to increase when the weather is bad," said Joseph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. "Harsh weather could have hurt some of the bigger discretionary items."
Nonstore retailing, which includes e-commerce, posted yet another monthly increase, up 1.4% (up 9.9% compared to December 2012). But general merchandise stores were basically flat while department store sales fell 0.7%.
Total retail sales for 2013 were up 4.2% from the prior year, a slowdown from 2012′s 5.4% pace and 2011′s 7.5% gain, the Commerce Department said.
Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group, said, "Retail sales in December were better than forecasted but if we include the November downward revisions, the two months taken together are about in line."
"Bottom line, because the December beat was offset by the November miss, Q4 GDP estimates should not change on this number," Boockvar added.

Thank you, also, for honoring those who've been lost at the hands of violence in our community and beyond. Finally, thank you for helping SafePlace to raise essential funds to serve thousands of survivors and their families. We will never forget your dedication and passion, and we pledge to continue to honor survivors and those who've passed in all that we do.
We have plenty of ways for you to stay involved with us, and we sincerely hope you do so! Please contact Lauren Zurbrugg at [email protected] if you are interested in SAFE's events, or if you would like to suggest a new way of participating with us to forward our vision of a safe and just community.

Bump Mapping in Photoshop can be done with relative ease and is capable of creating an infinite variety of textures from subtle to intense.
The feature is, however, buried away in one of Photoshop's filters so it may not be one of the most obvious options when you need to create a texture. However with practice the tool can be used to very good effect. In this video a bump mapped texture is combined with other textures to create a stimulating and colourful backdrop to a future project.

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Not you, if a visit to the Booth
is on your current To-Do List
by TONY VELLELA
Thanks to Chicago's ideal Christmas gift to Broadway, you've got the perfect New Year's Eve resolution. Permit me to explain . . .
At different times, I've been told by Julie Harris, Anne Jackson, Maureen
Stapleton, Eli Wallach, Olympia Dukakis and Anne Meara, that the single most influential performance they'd ever seen was Laurette Taylor, as Amanda in "The Glass Menagerie." Today, young audience members can experience a similarly powerful performance unfold, as Amy Morton rips into another iconic character, Martha. Morton will impact these audience members in the powerful, gripping and very truthful production of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'" Directed with a keen eye by Pam MacKinnon, this event comes courtesy of Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre.
In addition to my extensive interviews with Albee's original Martha, Uta Hagen, I've also done similar sessions with other Marthas – Uta's matinee stand-in Elaine Stritch, plus Estelle Parsons, Judith Ivey and Kathleen Turner. I've seen Kathleen on stage, on the job, Elaine do line readings for me in her Long Island living room, plus Estelle at my place, and Judy in an empty theatre downtown. Plus, I've seen the other Taylor [Elizabeth, not Laurette] in the film version. I also taped a revealing interview with the playwright. In addition, I regularly teach this play as one of my four-part workshops on great American plays and characters. So one could say I have a fairly strong familiarity with this Albee masterwork.
Now that I've tossed out all that show-offy credentializing, I want to state that, right now, at the Booth, Morton is creating the kind of sparks-flying, juices-flowing, thunder-deafening, heartbeat-threatening performance than stands with the sterling reports of Laurette's Amanda. Despite popular thinking from those who know only the basic facts about the play and the character, and true to Martha's own voluble pronouncement to her husband, she is not a monster.
Let's step back a moment. Who are these people? Martha, and her husband George, are a middle-aged, intellectually-and-culturally besotted small New England college professor in the history department, and his stay-at-home wife, [she being the only child of the college president]. They live in 1962's sharply divided class-influenced society. When we meet them, at about 2 A.M. on a Sunday morning in September, they're just arriving home – we hear her laughter as they struggle to unlock the front door. They are returning from one of Martha's Daddy's start-of-term faculty mixers, the kind of social event that Martha loves [she gets to be, publicly, the daughter dauphine], and George abhors [he is publicly the daughter dauphine's socially regressed consort]. They launch into a brief, amusing and seemingly familiar squabble and reconciliation. Then, minutes later, to George's surprise, and Martha's delight, a much younger couple, Nick and Honey, show up. He is a strapping, middle-weight, biology professor, new to the school, and she is his adoring, brandy-imbibing, mousy-type wife. Madison Dirks (Nick) and Carrie Coon (Honey) deliver pitch-perfect characterizations.
Early events seem to make it clear that this set-up is following a familiar pattern in the their home life, as any new faculty member [young virile male] and his forgettable spouse get invited to the home of the First Daughter, and her marital appendage, George, who is in, but not head of the history department. The scenario kicks off with Martha changing into something 'more comfortable,' i.e. seduction garb. George [the spot-on Tracy Letts] tolerates this maneuver, even as Martha's overt footsie-ing seems to be accelerating at a faster-than-usual pace, in part due to Nick's receptivity and Honey's brandy-induced oblivion. Morton is not at all clumsy executing the 'steps' that loosen up the party, especially one of the younger parties. And during the next three-plus hours, we witness four people in various stages of meltdown, the truths of their personal and professional lives ground to raw nubs. George at first refuses to engage the couple in any conventional chit-chat. Then in a new twist, George launches into a series of mind games meant to embarrass and unnerve the young professor, and to disrupt Martha's routine. We see her and her husband adopt a chilling open warfare stance, progressing from stinging verbal assaults to actual physical ones. Secrets come out; lies are exposed; agendas are questioned; fantasies are shattered.
This real-time play unflinchingly tells all these stories in the book-laden, newspaper-strewn living room, dotted with empty glasses and stale pipes. Theatre archives bulge with a variety of variation on the father/son confrontation premise. This current revival of Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" presents a unique father/son drama, because even though we never see Daddy in the room, and even though his only offspring is female, it takes its place as one of the most powerful of that genre ever written.
And the remarkable Amy Morton has managed to find the correct balance between the male and the female sides of offspring Martha. After her mother died, Martha was the one who graciously served as hostess in her teen years, for her Daddy's receptions, until she got pushed aside, when he remarried, to a woman with lots of money to plow into the college. Martha's the one who enchanted George, leading him down the garden path, straight to the altar, because she at that time saw him as a likely candidate to take the old man's place heading up the college. She's the one who sowed wild oats while away at an exclusive boarding school [with roles reversed - she got pregnant by the gardener, instead of 'the wayward prodigal son' knocking up the town waitress]. Whenever discussing Martha, always keep in mind that the playwright describes her as 'a large boisterous woman, 52, looking somewhat younger. Ample, but not fleshy.'
She's 52, so she was born in 1910! She was a rebellious youth [teen years] in the reckless 1920s. She was drafted into the 'proper hostess' role, to help Daddy, in the financially lean 1930s, when those receptions led to endowments. She married the potentially malleable suitor in the 1940s, trying to groom him for ascendancy to the big office. She remains childless to this day, a complex woman, trapped in the genteel role she rebelled against four decades ago, but with George instead of Daddy as King of the Castle. Taken together, it's hardly surprising that she is who she is. In Uta's view, Martha was someone that was "…cold. Nobody ever had any sympathy for her, so she doesn't have any sympathy for anybody. She's quite vulnerable." Kathleen Turner pictured her never having been praised, never hearing "…you're a good girl, Martha." To Judith Ivey, her Martha has learned to use the phrase ". . . give me a drink . . . that's the concrete place she can go to," adding ". . . she's vulnerable through the whole play." Asked to describe Martha, Elaine Stritch said to me "She's an alcoholic. I've played a lot of parts that deal with alcohol, women who drink . . . I know a lot about alcohol because I'm an alcoholic . . . she'll do anything to get what she wants, and the drink makes it easier to get there . . . that feeling of total control and escape." Estelle Parsons' quick response was "she's a drunk."
Now – Amy Morton. A more comprehensive understanding of how complex Martha is, would require highly-honed creative skills to integrate all these aspects into one performance, playing a character that we only see that one night – and in real time. I don't know at all how this actor prepares to create a character. Certainly, her performance in "August: Osage County" proved her ability to juggle a raft of competing emotions like one of those mind-blowing Ed Sullivan performers who could keep an egg, a book, a football, a dinner plate and a hatchet in the air all at the same time. Here, she is tackling a person whose biographical and psychological facets are just as diverse, and can be just as threatening.
Watch how she can turn on a dime, and switch gears from faux demure to fierce lioness. See the woman's body shifting back and forth, from teen queen at the drive-in take-out concession stand, to weary matron, trying to hold herself together despite the ways time and gravity work against her. The first 'reveal,' when Martha admits to George that she let it slip about the boy, presents a woman genuinely remorseful. She evolves into the initially-unwilling combatant. She can be as intellectually savvy as her professor husband – watch how she handles the moment when George attempts to correct her choice of the word 'abstruse' to describe Nick: GEORGE: Abstract. MARTHA: ABSTRUSE! In the sense of recondite. Don't you tell me words." Game. Set. Match.
It's very revealing how she navigates her tough, yet gentle monologue that slowly and contemplatively opens Act Three. Three pages later, a different monologue delivered to Nick reveals a painful truth, and she delivers this one as though it's been waiting to be spoken out loud, for years and years.
Morton uses Albee's words like a composer uses notes: carefully selecting the right one to precede and follow others. She uses movements and silences just as judiciously, never giving in to obvious, stereotypical choices some have made. Uta's comment on the film version, with Elizabeth Taylor, "You just play for a drunken slut, which is in a way what [Elizabeth] Taylor tried to do."
So let us thank Steppenwolf for this historic gift, seeing Amy Morton bring to life, fully, this fascinating, fearful yet fearless, nearly desperate, fragile yet steely woman of a certain age, a cougar before the dynamic had a name, and in name only. And our New Year's resolution should be to gather together a group of friends, see this gem of a play, and then luxuriate in the chance to exchange viewpoints and comments and opinions and such like that.
Happy New Year!

What is Extra? Extra is a new Modern Languages series aimed primarily at 14-16 year olds, but will also be of interest to older students who would like to improve their German. Extra is an innovative new idea from 4Learning: a familiar sitcom in a sophisticated setting which covers all the main programmes of study and grammatical areas needed for success at GCSE/SG. The scripts have been carefully written for the target audience and for those who find language learning difficult, the American protagonist, Sam, is there to come to their rescue. His efforts to get to grips with the language provide the central dynamic for the seriesΓÇÖ language learning content. Sascha and Anna share a flat in Berlin. They have a neighbour called Nic who fancies himself and Sascha. She doesnΓÇÖt return his affection but Anna does. Their landlady has very strict guidelines for the tenants and she regularly checks up on them. =================================================================================== All the epsodes were donwloaded from youtube. the 9Th season is with the sub in english i dunno why. Quality is ok.
Ps. in the first season there are 2 files with the same name, but the epsodes are different .. my bad !

Slow start by both teams but after that the Rangers got to work. They out shot the Spits in every period, hustled hard, went to the net, back checked and tied it up late in the game with Opilka pulled. Luke by the way was fantastic.
They dominated the OT but lost in a shoot-out. In Josh Brown's story in The Record Jay McKee said he hates losing, but can accept losing a game like that one, the guys were exceptional and he's proud of them.
It was very much a team effort and fun to watch them give the Spits a hard time. DiPietro was the difference in that game, he won the game for them.

By 2098, Facebook to become world's biggest virtual graveyard
If you are bogged down by notifications sent by the known but deceased people in your timeline on Facebook, do not get surprised by this news
London: If you are bogged down by notifications sent by the known but deceased people in your timeline on Facebook, do not get surprised by this news.
According to researchers, the social networking giant will become the world's biggest virtual graveyard by the end of this century as there will be more profiles of dead people than of living users.
"Social media website Facebook, which currently has 1.5 billion users worldwide, will turn into the world's biggest virtual graveyard by 2098," Dailymail.co.uk quoted statistician Hachem Sadikki from University of Massachusetts as saying.
This will happen because the website refuses to delete dead users and instead turns the account into a "memorialised" version."Facebook's refusal to automatically delete dead users and the plateauing membership of the site means that the living will be outnumbered sooner than you might think," the report said.
Sadikki, PhD candidate in statistics at University of Massachusetts, said he worked out the figure by assuming that Facebook's growth will begin to slow soon. A blogging company Digital Beyond has claimed that nearly 970,000 Facebook users will die this year alone across the world which is far more as compared to 385,968 in 2010 and 580,000 in 2012.
Sadikki also assumed that the social media website will retain its existing policy on how to handle dead users.The website's policy has attracted criticism from users in the past as it showed the photos of dead ones in its "year in review" videos (till 2015).

PORTLAND – Allan Labos arrived in the United States in the 1970s with $50 in his pocket and marching orders to open schools and salons in San Francisco and Los Angeles for Vidal Sassoon.
Labos, 57, now presides over his own growing salon enterprise: Akari. In the coming months, Akari will enter the next chapter of the expansion that has characterized the Old Port business since Labos took it over in 1987.
late fall or early winter, Akari will have increased its retail space and its wellness offerings, like personal training, cooking classes and the services of a nutritionist.
The business will utilize more of the space in the Middle Street building it occupies, growing from roughly 17,000 square feet to about 22,000 square feet.
Akari seems to be faring well despite the recession. Labos declined to disclose Akari's gross annual revenues, but said the business had double-digit growth in each of the past three years.
About 200 clients come through Akari each day, according to Labos. They may browse the clothes and professional products in the retail shop, enjoy a glass of wine and a snack in the light-filled cafe area or have a massage in a quiet room decorated in soothing hues. Some might do all those things — and more.
That's part of the strategy represented by the Akari trinity of wellness, beauty and style.
Labos explains that the three are interconnected — the wellness is the necessary foundation before the other two can be pursued. So, a client has to feel well — a process that could be aided through Akari services like life coaching or yoga — before turning her attention to aspects of beauty and style, which could take the form of a new hairstyle and an outfit from the boutique.
"My dream is when a customer arrives, they say, 'Just take care of me,'" Labos said.
Consumers are increasingly demanding this type of one-stop facility, said Hannelore Leavy, founder and chairwoman of the advisory board for the Day Spa Association. Leavy said the recession took a heavy toll on day spas — with some estimates claiming that up to one-third have failed nationally — and those that remain have to work hard to provide value to customers who have become very conscientious about spending their disposable income.
"Spas are looking to other venues to attract and retain customers, such as the wellness offerings, where they're not going to make very much money," she said. "But it is something that attracts and keeps the customer."
Lila Hunt is an Akari client who has remained loyal, despite moving from Maine to Boston five years ago. She now makes appointments there when she is visiting her mother in Camden or her father in Cape Elizabeth.
"I don't really trust anybody else with my hair or eyebrows," said Hunt, who is 23 and recently graduated from Suffolk University.
Akari got into the fast-growing medical spa services area several years ago. Medical spas — those that offer treatments like Botox, laser hair removal and intense pulsed light treatments for facials — are the fastest growing type of spa, according to the International Spa Association.
Serendipity led Labos to his trade. Born in Gibraltar, Labos went to London to study mechanical engineering — a subject he did not like — and befriended hairdressers in his building. He ended up dropping out of school and starting an apprenticeship with Vidal Sassoon, unsure exactly where that road would take him.
Eventually it took him to New York, where he met his ex-wife. She introduced Labos to Maine. In 1987, they bought the 800-square-foot Akari salon on Fore Street.
Labos went from charging $150 — the New York price — for a haircut to $18, the going rate then in Portland.
Over time, Akari expanded in the Fore Street space and added day spa services, such as facials, massages, manicures and makeup consultations.
"Everybody said you can't do it up here," Labos recalled. But Labos saw that people were moving into Greater Portland from other areas and missed the services they were accustomed to.
One recognition of Akari's accomplishments came this summer, when the business won second place in the national "Salons of the Year" contest run by the influential trade publication Salon Today.
The business moved to Middle Street in 2007. Savi Realty — a name formed by combining the names of Labos' daughters, Saffron and Violet — bought the property for $2.5 million that year, according to city property records.
Akari now occupies parts of 193 and 195 Middle St., a property that looks like two separate buildings that are actually adjoined.
After expansion, the retail area will triple in size and fill the ground level of 195 Middle St., the space formerly occupied by the Old Port Pharmacy and the clothing boutique Chantal. The second and third levels, which stretch across both street addresses, will continue to be used for the hair and nail areas and the spa, respectively.
Labos expects that the change will require increasing the size of his staff, which currently stands at 50 employees, by about 10 percent.
It's a point of pride for Labos that each of the positions at Akari is home-grown.
One such example is Genevieve Drzewianowski, the training director for hair. Four years ago, she was a recent graduate of the Maine College of Art who didn't own a blow drier. Drzewianowski, who studied metals and jewelry, was applying for a front desk job.
Labos encouraged her to get into hair because she was an artist. She started as an assistant — doing chores like cleaning toilets, shampooing clients and making coffee — and learned her new trade at the salon after hours.
"I never expected I would be doing this," she said. "Once I started, it made sense."

My car began to overheat suddenly. Then I heard a loud but muffled pop, the car stopped, steam started coming out but it seemed to me that though I turned the engine off it continued to try to run for a minute or so. While it was overheating I smelled no coolant or steam from the radiator, the car itself kept running well, that is to say, there was no discernible reduction in power from the engine. Until the muffled pop sound. Can you explain to me what happened and what I should do please?

Alan Sherman's friend Jordan Olsen, who sells wine in Northern California for Ridge Vineyards, is taking a break from work to follow California Chrome.
"Just cleared it with my bosses over there,'' Olsen said. "They knew about the up-and-coming Triple Crown run, hopefully. They were fine with it.''
Alan Sherman, assistant to his father, trainer Art Sherman, asked Olsen to ride with California Chrome, groom Raul Rodriguez and exercise rider William Delgado on the flight Tuesday from Louisville, Ky., to Baltimore.
"Basically, when Willie and Raul came out here, Alan put me on there to make sure that the horse was safe,'' Olsen said.
"I've been with him the whole journey out here and in Kentucky. Just going along for the ride with him.''
The flight was non-eventful, Olsen said. California Chrome didn't watch a movie or read a book.
"He was in the very first stall, right in the front of the plane,'' Olsen said. "They had to back him on there. And, it was smooth flight, an hour and 10 minutes. No problems.
"We were all in the back. Everyone sits in the back of the plane.''
The van ride from the airport to the track went smoothly, too, Olsen said. "He was the only horse in the back of the trailer,'' he said. "Me, Willie and Raul, we were in there.''
After California Chrome trained Tuesday, Olsen was with onlookers watching as the colt was given abath.
"He looks really good,'' Olsen said. "It looked like he took to the track good. It seems like he wants to go back out for a gallop. They put him away after a little short jog.
"He kept his weight out there in Kentucky after the race. We're keeping our fingers crossed for some racing luck. We'll see what happens.''
Olsen said he didn't bring wine on his travels with California Chrome. "It's too hard to travel with that stuff,'' Olsen said. "I could have sent some out.''
After the Derby, the drink for the victory celebration was the bourbon Maker's 46, Olsen said. "That was the new one that we found out about out there,'' he said. "It's pretty good.''
Will they be toasting California Chrome again Saturday?

- University

- Campus Life
- International
- Science and society
The Paris-Sud University is a founding member of the ComUE* "Université Paris-Saclay". Established in December 2014, this unique institution brings together a group of universities, colleges and research organisations in the south of Ile-de-France.
These institutions chose to join forces within the ComUE "Université Paris-Saclay" by pooling their academic and research programs at the highest international level, in order to meet the challenges of global competition in education, research and innovation.
Paris-Sud University, member of the ComUE "Université Paris-Saclay"
By 2020, the Paris-Saclay Campus will represent 15% of French research. On a larger scale, it will form part of a cluster to strengthen the synergies between the partners, by transforming the Saclay plateau in a global research and innovation centre. Already established on the Saclay plateau, Paris-Sud University joined the project from its inception and is bound to become one of its central players. For Paris-Sud, the creation of the Université Paris-Saclay is an opportunity to showcase its training and research programs and to promote synergies with other partners. True to its identity and academic values, Paris-Sud intends to play a proactive role in building the university of tomorrow, along with the other associate members.
Strong commitment of Paris-Sud University...
In many ways, Paris-Sud University is one of the drivers of this dynamic. As a founding member among 18 other institutions, Paris-Sud University has been involved actively in the Paris-Saclay project right from the outset. The strength and diversity of its laboratories and joint research units, faculty, professors-researchers, technical and administrative staff, students, provide the credibility to support the international ambitions of the Université Paris-Saclay.
Today, Paris-Sud University represents half of the staff and students of this consortium of universities.
...In terms of Training and Research
Paris-Sud University participates in 20 graduate schools and coordinates 33 of the 43 master's degrees of the Université Paris-Saclay. 90% of the master's degrees offered by Paris-Sud are managed by the Université Paris-Saclay. But beyond this offer of master's degrees, all Paris-Sud courses (DUT, bachelors, professional bachelors, but also diplomas in law, medicine, pharmacy, etc.) will eventually be labelled and managed by Schools within Paris-Saclay. As of now, the Bachelor of Science and Technology from the Institut Villebon-Georges Charpak, labeled as IDEFI ("Initiative d'Excellence en Formations Innovantes" i.e. Initiative of Excellence in Innovative Training) is at the forefront of "educational research".
The 10 Research Departments of the Université Paris-Saclay host approximately 300 research laboratories across all disciplines and from all member institutions of the ComUE. Among these 300 laboratories that are open to the world, Paris-Sud University hosts 78 research units, shared with one or several other institutions or research organizations (CNRS, Inserm, Inria, Inra, CEA...).
Real-estate and scientific projects of Paris-Sud University within the ComUE "Université Paris-Saclay"
Already implemented on various locations of the Saclay in the area of Moulon, Paris-Saclay University pilots 4 flagship projects on the Paris-Saclay Campus:
- Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d'Orsay
In the Campus Project, the implementation of the Institut des Sciences Moléculaires d'Orsay (ISMO) in the heart of the Belvédère area (Moulon plateau) pursues two main objectives: a scientific convergence between the founding laboratories of the institute and a closer cooperation between its staffs.
- Centre de Physique, Matière et Rayonnement
As a scientific and real-estate complex within the Campus Plan, the Center of Physics Matter and Radiation (CPMR) is a major centre for molecular physics and condensed matter (solid and fluid) physics of Paris-Sud University and the CNRS. The CPMR operation involves the rehabilitation or construction of four buildings, physics laboratories, reception centres for scientists and one education building for physics on the Moulon Plateau.
- Pôle Biologie, Pharmacie, Chimie
As part of a general reorganization of life sciences and in order to promote scientific cooperation, the project will bring together, on the Moulon Plateau, the Institut Diversité, Écologie et Évolution du Vivant (IDEEV), the Faculté de Pharmacie, the Institut de Chimie Moléculaire et des Matériaux d'Orsay (ICMMO) and a training centre for the master's degrees of Chemistry and Biology.
- Campus Life and Community Facilities
The aim of the project is to create a lively, attractive and pleasant campus. It will offer the implementation or renovation of living spaces, housing, food offerings, meeting places and shared facilities on the Saclay plateau: a living place in the Moulon area with a university restaurant, sports facilities, a learning centre, a language centre...
"Communauté d'universités et d'établissements" (Community of Universities and Institutions) or "ComUE" is one of three forms of consortia recognised by the Law on Higher Teaching and Research of 22 July 2013. The ComUE replaced the former "Pôles de Recherche et d'Enseignement Supérieur" (PRES i.e. Centres for Research and Higher Education) which have become ComUE following the promulgation of this law.

Partners in Power
The symbiotic pairing of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger—egos alike in ambition, insecurity, and paranoia—produced foreign policy success (détente with the Soviet Union and new relations with China) and disaster (in Vietnam and Cambodia, and in Chile) in equal measure in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Their relationship, though mutually beneficial, was rife with Shakespearean overtones: distrust, double-dealing, and deception were de rigueur in the Nixon White House long before Watergate took Nixon down. This new history looks behind the scenes at this quintessential pair of power brokers and their lasting influence, for good and ill, on the political stage.
HarperCollins. 752 pages. $32.50. ISBN: 0060722304
"[Dallek] probes all these history-making events in spectacular depth and has produced a 700-page book that is sure to become the standard reference on the Nixon-Kissinger collaboration. Drawing upon a wealth of new sources, such as 20,000 pages of transcripts of Kissinger's telephone conversations, Dallek's biography takes us well beyond any previous book on the subject." Matt Love
Boston Globe
"This book does not skimp on praise for what Nixon and Kissinger did to improve US relations with China and the Soviet Union. But it is no monument to them." Martin F. Nolan
Dallas Morning News
"The implicit question running throughout Nixon and Kissinger is: What would Mr. Nixon's presidency have been like if he had been sane? The suspicion and backstabbing within the Nixon White House have been described before, but with the new documentary evidence that Mr. Dallek has amassed, the pervasiveness of paranoia is even more striking." Philip Seib
Denver Post
"Some of the detail will be daunting for all but the most dedicated policy wonks when it comes to missile treaties, turmoil in the Middle East, the ascension of Salvador Allende in Chile, summit meetings both here and abroad and, of course, discussions about how to end the war in Vietnam 'with honor.' But it all adds to the often alarming and always intriguing relationship between these two political titans who shared so much of the world stage at a particularly tumultuous time." Tom Walker
New York Times
"What Mr. Dallek has done, and done remarkably deftly, in this volume is focus on the relationship between the two men, and the ways in which their personal traits—their drive, their paranoia and their hunger for power and control—affected their performance in office and informed their foreign policy decisions." Michiko Kakutani
NY Times Book Review
"The narrow focus on character … obscures the full extent of the two men's failures as policy makers. … Their policies, rooted in the cold calculation of American interests, generated a powerful backlash from both liberals, angered by the brutalization of the third world, and conservatives, who objected to the coddling of Communists." Mark Atwood Lawrence
Washington Post
"Early on, Dallek promises the story of a collaboration 'that tells us as much about the opportunities and limits of national and international conditions as about the men themselves.' For all his industry, he does not seem to have shaken himself free of his material to deliver on that promise." Margaret MacMillan
Critical Summary
Armed with voluminous new source material, presidential historian Robert Dallek delivers a comprehensive view of a profoundly influential political duo. Because of their importance, very little in Nixon and Kissinger is new. But that doesn't deter reviewers from praising Dallek for this intelligent, wide-ranging synthesis. The author of the best-selling An Unfinished Life: John F. Kennedy, 1917–1963 ( Sept/Oct 2003) and a two-volume biography of Lyndon Johnson, Dallek details the personal motivations behind Nixon's and Kissinger's public and private machinations, a technique that fascinates most reviewers. A few critics want more political context, but most seem satisfied with this riveting, fleshed-out story of a fascinating time in American history.

Genevieve (Siviski) Lipinski
Hanson – Genevieve (Siviski) Lipinski 86 a resident of Hanson for over 60 years, died suddenly on Saturday June 4 after a recent illness. She was the beloved wife of the late Stephen F. Lipinski.
Born in Winslow, Maine she was last of six children of Mickolas and Kamilla (Mikulka) Siviski.

The buyout of US driller Grey Wolf (NYSE:GW) by Canadian drilling company Precision Drilling Trust (NYSE:PDS) got its start back in April, when oilfield services company Basic Energy Services (NYSE:BAS) made an offer to buy Grey Wolf. While Grey Wolf shareholders were considering that offer, Precision Drilling made an unsolicited bid for Grey Wolf that eventually topped out at $10/share.
One proxy advisory firm, ISS Riskmetrics, counseled against the Grey Wolf-Basic Energy tie-up, citing a possible conflict of interest from Grey Wolf's Board. Ultimately, the deal was rejected by Grey Wolf shareholders, nearly 100% of which are institutional investors.
Then, Precision Drilling got serious, offering about $2 billion in cash and stock for Grey Wolf. The interesting thing about the offer was that it was about $1/share lower than the offer Precision Drilling had made earlier. The competitive landscape had changed after all.
Then last Friday, proxy advisors ISS Riskmetrics and Proxy Governance recommended that Grey Wolf shareholders accept the offer from Precision Drilling. Riskmetrics supports the deal because "the proposed offer seems to have supported the Grey Wolf stock price as evidenced by the fact that Grey Wolf's stock price has declined significantly less that the average stock price decline of its peer group." Yes, that's true, but Precision's share price is down nearly 70% from 52-week highs it reached before it made its first unsolicited bid for Grey Wolf.
Proxy Governance supports the deal because it "appears to place a fair value on the company based on the overall market reaction." The market's reaction since July has been to send Grey Wolf's share price down about 37% from 52-week highs. Over the last twelve months, though, Grey Wolf's share price has actually increased by 11%, while Precision Drilling has lost more than 45%.
Absent a last-minute offer from another buyer, this deal is expected to close December 10th, the day after Grey Wolf's shareholder meeting to vote on the buyout.

|School Board Approves Fees for Next School Year.
|Wednesday, 13 February 2013 15:56
The school districts board of education met last night and approved fees for the 2013-2014 school year, among other things. Fees associated with the pre-school, elementary, middle, and high schools were all mostly kept the same with the exception of one fee at the high school.
View the Complete List of Fees Here
"I did reduce the parking sticker fee at the high school, it was at $25 I reduced it to $20," says Superintendent Russ Reiter.
That fee helps fund the cost of parking stickers and for maintenance of the lot, such as coving pot holes. Reiter plans to install cameras in the South Lot this coming summer which is another reason for keeping the fee. But cutting the cost by $5 wasn't enough for some board members.
"I appreciate Mr. Reiter getting rid of some of the unnecessary fees such as student planner and towel fees... Now that being said just like last year I simply do not support the parking fee... I just don't feel it's okay to charge students to park in their parking lot... A parking lot that was built probably with tax payer dollars when the high school was constructed", says Board Member Charlie Comfort.
"I know there's maintenance costs on our roofs and our boilers and other type of equipment... I don't support that idea on a tax funded property and so I request we remove the parking fee from the fee schedule," says Board Member Tom Richardson.
The funds generated from This years parking sticker fee has gone toward purchasing cameras that monitor the high schools north parking lot. Those cameras have caught acts of vandalism and traffic violations.
"Even after being up for the short period of time, they have been effective... They have paid off a little bit already and their paying dividends," says Reiter.
And because of Reiter's plan to instal cameras in the south lot, other board members are okay with the fee.
"I am in favor of this fee, and I'm not saying I would be in favor of it for ever but definitely if we're still looking at getting more cameras so our children can be safer," says Board President Susan Boxler.
("My inclination would be that until we reach our goal and we have what we need, to leave it at what is proposed at this point," says Board Vice-President Laurie Fiscella.
"We're not required to provide a parking lot for all the kids to drive to school, I mean we do and there's maintenance with the parking lot and I don't think that's an extravagant fee compared to other schools," says Board Member Anne Whitis.
Reiter says parking fees at High Schools are fairly common, but he'd consider reducing the fee in the future. "We're trying to do everything we can to reduce the number of fees, but I guess my goal was to reduce it little by little by little making sure we can cover all of our needs," says Reiter.
The fees for the next school year were passed 4-3, With Charlie Comfort, Nik Rule, and Tom Richardson voting against.

"Greenploitation" = the exploiting of ignorance to make billions! Yup sounds about right!!
Over here in the UK we are charged for the water that lands on our roofs and goes down the drain (a lot of residential people dont know this as it only appears on business bills, although joe public still gets charged), however, if we collect it, like people do in their gardens in them big blue drums, you can be fined for stealing off the water company.
In April, 2009, Senator Feingold introduced (and gathered 24 co-sponsors already) legislation, S. 787, to fundamentally change the definition of "water" under control of the federal government:

God in heaven! Oh,..the arrogance!
They have no right! (Unless they pay for the roof!)
All she wants is the rain water that lands on her roof. She lives with her husband and two children in a solar-powered home in rural San Miguel County. Committed to promoting sustainability, Kris Holstrom grows organic produce year-round, most of which is sold to local restaurants and farmers markets. On a mesa at 9,000 feet elevation, however, water other than precipitation is hard to come by. So Kris did what thousands of farmers before her have done: She applied for a water right. Except instead of seeking to divert water from a stream, she sought to collect rain that fell upon the roof of her house and greenhouse. To her surprise, the state engineer opposed her application, arguing that other water users already had locked up the right to use the rain. The Colorado Water Court agreed, and Kris was denied the right to store a few barrels of rainwater. If she persisted with rain harvesting, she would be subject to fines of up to $500 per day.
Gets crazier every day! No, being crazy may take a permit somewhere in the future!
What, taxing mud puddles? Is that what we've become now? Are we that desperate?
In Colorado, water rights laws severely restrict rainwater harvesting -- a property owner who captures rainwater is effectively stealing it from those who have rights to take water from the watershed.[20]

Something that I've been wondering for a while, but never seemed important... why not implement the first as a library call using the 2nd (using alloca to create the one-element iovec)?
