The University of Southern Mississippi School of Music has partnered with the Kawai Piano Company to bring new pianos to music students at the university.
The Elite Performing Instrument Collection (EPIC) will provide brand new loaner pianos that will be purchased at a substantial discount as part of the program that aims to replace almost all of the pianos in the school with new ones over the next 10 years. In cooperation with the USM Foundation, a private and corporate fundraising initiative complementing this effort is planned to start immediately with a goal of $500,000 to replace the pianos.
A series of free guest piano performances is planned throughout the semester to celebrate this initiative. On Sept.13 Noel Engebretson, professor of piano at the University of Alabama, will perform in Marsh Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. On Oct. 9 Peter Collins, professor of pianoand coordinator of the keyboard area at Missouri State University, will also perform a matinee in Marsh Auditorium at 4 p.m. On Nov. 9, Bulgarian-born virtuoso Nadejda Vlaeva, will perform in Marsh auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
The culminating event welcomes Grammy®-nominated Petronel Malan to the Mannoni Performing Arts Center Auditorium stage at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 29. A special pre-concert reception is planned at the Museum of Art where patrons may enjoy the senior show and make pledges to the EPIC program.
These performances are free and open to the public.
"All undergraduate music students begin piano their freshman year and continue through completion of their degree," said Dr. Michael Miles, director of the School of Music. "Based on the past purchase history, it would have taken 142 years to replace all of the pianos in the School of Music."
The high volume of usage ages the pianos significantly, making a 40-year old piano equal to a 120-year old home-owned piano.
"Private fundraising is so important, because the more that is raised, the better quality instruments will be available for purchase through the program," said Lonnie Young, longtime piano technician for the School of Music. "This is a student-centered project that affects every major in the department. I am excited for the students to have quality instruments that support their talent."
For more information on these events, visit www.usm.edu/music. The new interactive calendar listing offers videos and more on these and all School of Music events.

Aras Announces EPLM for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM
Solution Provides Companies that Run SolidWorks with Packaged Functionality Out-of-the-Box for Corporate-wide PLM Business Processes
ANDOVER, Mass. — October 25, 2011 — Aras®, the leading enterprise open source Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software solution provider, today announced the launch of a new solution designed specifically for companies that run SolidWorks®. Aras Enterprise PLM (Aras EPLM™) for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM provides packaged functionality out-of-the-box for corporate-wide PLM business processes, enabling global companies that run SolidWorks to improve product quality, accelerate time to market and achieve greater profitability.
Global Cross Functional Processes
Built on top of SolidWorks Enterprise PDM, Aras EPLM is a scalable and secure business-ready solution for New Product Development and Introduction (NPDI), Complex Configuration Management, Enterprise Change Management, Outsourced Manufacturing, Quality Compliance and more. It extends Enterprise PDM to drive PLM processes throughout a company and its supply chain for collaboration across organizations including product development, operations, quality, purchasing, sales & marketing and other groups worldwide.
"Together Aras Enterprise PLM and SolidWorks Enterprise PDM provide the ideal solution for us to streamline and simplify process complexity throughout the company," said Dave Baer, IT Project Manager at Spartan Motors. "Aras allows our SolidWorks users to maintain their current design practices without disruption and extend our processes for cross functional coordination."
"We've been working with SolidWorks users for years and know that SolidWorks Enterprise PDM is by far the best CAD file manager for those designers. Companies are looking for a way to keep what's working and preserve their investment while they address cross-functional, enterprise-wide PLM business processes," said Peter Schroer, President of Aras. "So, we've taken our open source PLM solutions, included new out-of-the-box functionality that connects directly to EPDM, and packaged it all up to create a totally new commercial offering that's optimized for companies that run SolidWorks."

Web-browser screens with a familiar Microsoft look and feel make the application easy to learn and use for everyone, and the highly flexible pure Web architecture includes powerful scalability, robust security and multi-site replication for deployments with users located around the world.
"Our engineers have been screaming for something like this. We have a deep product structure on some of our product lines and this will significantly increase productivity and quality. Aras EPLM for SolidWorks Enterprise PDM makes a lot of sense," said Kevin Friske, Database Administrator at MiTek Corporation. "We also like the fact that everything with Aras is on Microsoft SQL Server, and since its 100% browser-based, its easy-to-use for people at multiple sites."

SEI Riverboats' 2011 Revenues Top $675M
Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg
file photo
(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) – 2011 was a slightly better year for southeast Indiana's three riverboat casinos.
The Indiana Gaming Commission's end of the year report shows Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Rising Star Casino Resort in Rising Sun, and Belterra Casino Spa & Resort in Florence, Indiana combined for $675.7 million in revenue last year.
The revenue figure is about a half million dollars better than 2010, even though last year's attendance fell by 2.6 percent. In all, 6.7 million people visited the riverboats.
Hollywood Casino continued to dominate the local gaming market in 2011 by claiming 65 percent of revenues. The area's biggest boat raked in $436.5 million, about even with 2010's revenue total of $437 million.
Attendance at Hollywood reached 3.8 million people, off 2.6 percent from about 3.9 million in 2010.
Rising Star Casino in Rising Sun – purchased by Las Vegas casino operator Full House Resorts in March and later renamed in August –saw revenues fall by 4.6 percent to $93.3 million in 2011 from $97.8 million the prior year.
Attendance at the Rising Sun riverboat dipped 3.5 percent to 1.3 million visitors.
Belterra Casino was the only local riverboat to see revenues increase, improving by 3.9 percent to $145.9 million in 2011 from $140 million in 2010. The better bottom line came despite attendance at Belterra falling by 0.7 percent to 1.7 million visitors.
Statewide, Indiana's 13 casinos and horse track "racinos" garnered revenue of $2.7 billion, a decline of 2.6 percent. Twenty-five million people visited the casinos, down 5.7 percent from 2010.

When you have that first baby, your heart swells. You feel love like you've never felt before. You look at your husband and your parents in a different way. Her needs and wants consume your life, and you can't imagine ever loving another person as much as you do her.
Then you find out you are pregnant with baby number two and your heart breaks a little bit. You feel bad because you know there is just not room in your heart to love anyone else as much as you do your first. Guilt starts to stab at you because you know that this new baby is going to take time, love, and attention away from your precious first born.
But then that new baby is born and something miraculous happens. Your heart grows. It makes room for the new baby. You realize that you DO love him as much as the first. Maybe not the same way, because he is a different person, but just as much. Then you see the new baby with your first baby and you feel a love that you never even imagined possible. That's what second babies do.
Happy birthday Bud! I'm so glad you came into our family four years ago. I don't know what we would do without your silly grins, funny jokes, or most awesome hugs. You remind me on a daily basis what love and happiness is, and you can always make me smile no matter what, just like your daddy. I know we had a rough start, but I'm so glad we persevered. I can't imagine my life without you.
Linking up with Memories Captured.

Dave and I love Orange Izakaya Fusion Cafe and Bar in Regina. This Cathedral area restaurant (off 13th and Robinson) has been a favourite since it first opened two and a half years ago (also the site of one of our first dates – and probably one of the reasons it's a sentimental spot for us).
Orange Izakaya offers Japanese sushi and Korean dishes, so it really is a fusion of tastes. Without question, our absolute favourite dish on the menu is the Dolsot Bi Bim Bap (rice mixed with sautéed vegetables, korean beef topped with a raw egg). It delights the moment it arrives at your table,still sizzling in a hot stone bowl and awaiting a stir or two to blend all the ingredients together. Dave and I love the fried rice bits sticking to the sides of the bowl at the end of the meal. I highly recommend this dish!
This visit, we decided to branch out and try some new things on the menu. We started with an appetizer size of Bulgogi – thinly sliced and grilled marinated beef over some broccoli. The beef was very tasty and had hints of soy sauce, sesame oil and garlic. Both salty and sweet and very enjoyable! Just the right size to pick up with chopsticks.
We followed that with the entree of Korean BBQ Kalbi beef short ribs with rice and a small salad. I had never seen ribs so thinly sliced and meaty. I found this meat to be a bit on the fatty side for my taste. The side salad was simple but delicious with a sesame dressing that I loved.
On to the sushi! Dave and I love sushi rolls, and we returned to one of our absolute favourites at Orange Izakaya – the Sweet Chili Roll. This delicious roll features tempura prawns in the center, with rice rolled on the outside and sriracha sweet chili sauce on top. We love the subtly spicy kick the sauce gives.
We also tried a new roll – the Orange Special roll – which featured crabmeat on the top of the roll and an extra roll of nori (seaweed) around the roll itself. At first, I found the extra nori to be a bit too salty and seaweedy, but my tastebuds quickly adjusted! The crabmeat on top was delicious, but I found it a bit messy to eat and hard to manage putting extra wasabi on top (which Dave loves!).
Our dinner at Orange Izakaya is never complete without a Japanese beer. I enjoyed Sapporo with my meal and Dave tried out a new beer, Ichiban. The perfect accompaniment to a Korean/Japanese fusion meal!
Always an excellent experience, from the friendly and quick service to the tasty food, Orange Izakaya once again fully satisfied. We recommend a japanese beer, a couple of sushi rolls, and the wonderful Dolsot Bi Bim Bap!

You can also just use your body weight for the exercise if you do not have any equipment and still get a great workout.
Keep working hard to get those glutes tight and firm!! Also if you need any encouragement feel free to leave me a post, leave a message on the LMC Fitness Facebook fan page, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Opportunity Jumped Into Standby Mode, Back Online Now
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
NASA said its Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity placed itself in standby mode during April when the sun was blocking out communication with the Red Planet and Earth.The space agency said mission controllers learned of the changed status on April 27, when they first heard from Opportunity after the blocked communication period. Engineers pumped "fresh commands" into the rover on Monday to get it to resume operations.
According to NASA, initial indications suggest the rover sensed something was wrong while doing a routine camera check of the clarity of the atmosphere on April 22.
"Our current suspicion is that Opportunity rebooted its flight software, possibly while the cameras on the mast were imaging the sun," said Mars Exploration Rover Project Manager John Callas of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, Calif. "We found the rover in a standby state called automode, in which it maintains power balance and communication schedules, but waits for instructions from the ground. We crafted our solar conjunction plan to be resilient to this kind of rover reset, if it were to occur."
The veteran rover has been working on the Red Planet for over nine years now. Curiosity, NASA's newest rover, still has many years to go to reach Opportunity's seniority. This young rover first reached Mars in August last year after completing the "seven minutes of terror" landing. The team in charge of landing the rover received the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum´s highest group honor at a dinner in Washington on April 24.
NASA said Curiosity is nearing the end of its solar conjunction moratorium on commanding. The rover is reported to be coming through the conjunction in full health.
In March, the space agency announced Curiosity discovered hard evidence Mars may have hosted life in its past. The find came after Curiosity drilled out a sedimentary rock on Mars. The powder from this drilling showed the presence of sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon. A primary goal of the Curiosity mission was to establish whether Mars has ever had conditions on its surface suitable for life.
"A fundamental question for this mission is whether Mars could have supported a habitable environment," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA´s Mars Exploration Program at the agency´s headquarters in Washington. "From what we know now, the answer is yes."
NASA said it plans to send the Curiosity rover its first set of post-conjunction commands on May 1.
NASA said that it received confirmation from Mars on Wednesday that the Opportunity rover is back under ground control, executing a sequence of commands sent by the rover team. According to the space agency, the veteran rove is no longer in standby mode and it has resumed normal operations.

That's an understatement if I ever saw one.

I worked with Diskin and most high ranking Israeli military and intelligence officials. Most are competent and dedicated. Nearly all of them have very large egos. Diskin's recent comments are just untrue. They are harmful to Israel's survival.

9. Diskin...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,
As former head of the ISA (Shin Bet) Diskin has to stay silent about intelligence issues, the same for other ex-Mossad, ex-Amman chiefs,… On that point I'm very orthodox. He left the job, so like a lot of his predecessors he has to disappear in the anonymity. Normally, these old intelligence heads are coming together with the government and their successors about some issues, like Iran,… He was invited to give his opinion, but at the end the government decides. I don't argue if the man is right or wrong, but for Diskin, Dagan and others: gone is gone.

If it is, then where is the news? The news is that he's "disgusted" and "profoundly concerned"? I suspect pre-election campaigning, here.

12. diskin is 100% right
bin ,
diskins impressions and fears of our PM are 100% right. Personal interest before state interest. PM-office you are a lame apparatus to try to blame diskin now acting out of revenge. Diskin is not alone in his assesment. Nealy all major actual and former security chiefs think the same.

Typical juvenile reaction from the PM office. What else can we expect? Instead of addressing the issue all they do is pour scorn on Diskin personally. Can anyone believe these clowns anymore?

seems this man should have resigned and took the heat of the revelations of this matter then, if he were so 'alarmed.' I am suspect of those who stay, remain silent if their so 'flabbergasted' and when their pensions are guaranteed, begin to lambast their superiors. Just sayin'...

Thank you sir. Your post alone has the ring of authenticity, I believe and agree with you. Any former member of the security of any nation would be wise to remain silent and thought wise rather than to speak and remove all doubt. Makes me think Israel was burdened with a coward who now has verified this fact. Shalom

I agree with you, especially your first sentence of your post. SIlence is golden. By slamming any PM of Israel he became more than suspect, his motives became dubious.

18. Yeah! I agree, but then...who IS strong?

Barak and BIBI are too weak for me but who in politics is strong? Thus far, not even Lieberman. The only one was Rabbi Meir Kahane, Z"l., HYD. Feiglin? Bennet? NEH!

20. Diskin
israel israeli ,
tel aviv
Diskin implies that he, as a non-elected civil servant, sabotaged decisions made by Israel's democratically elected government. If he really did not trust them, he should have resigned his post and joined a political party. Instead, he is a traitor who plotted to destroy Israeli democracy. He needs to be stripped of all ranks, privileges, pension and citizenship, jailed for a very long time, and then deported to wherever will take him.

21. Diskin merely confirming
Sarah B
what many normal decent Israelis already knew. Netanyahu is only interested in Netanyahu, his profile on the world stage and what is in it for Netanyahu. I was in London during Lebanon2 whilst Netanyahu also in London was visiting the theatre and eating out of the finest restaurants, whilst our children were fighting, and dying. Netanyahu is a parasite, feeding off Israel whilst making no provision for the long term future of Israel. All decisions made are made using the equation what is in it for me. Diskin is merely confirming this

First Diskin was saying Bibi and Barak were trigger-happy maniacs with a messianic complex. Now he says they're a couple of weakling patsies. I'm amazed that anybody buys this. Diskin is still sulking because they passed him over (after he finished as Shin Bit chief) for Mossad chief. He's getting his revenge and it makes no difference to him how much he blackens the name of the elected Israeli leadership and damages our cause particularly in the international arena. He's an embittered, sulking, nasty wannabe has-been.

26. Propaganda
michael Pielet ,
100% lies and distortions. Propaganda piece for the left. Rabin and Peres, Oslo a fraud perpetrated on the Jewish people. Sharon, withdrawal from Samaria and Gaza unmitigated disaster. Olmert, 2006 Lebanon incompetent decision making. For all of the above failures in fighting terrorism. Livni, incompetence in all she does. Peretz, a failed bolshevik.

During Levanon2 Netanyahu wasn't PM, he was a leader of opposition and voluntary made a job instead disable FM Livni. Your comments are full of poison against him and simply untrue!

29. Whether true or not...
Jake Stone ,
...Diskin has his own agenda, and I'm sure it doesn't have the best-interests, of Israel, in mind! We all know Netanyahu is a weak, lying politician...like most are; but, during these perilous times, I don't think it's prudent, for Diskin, to air Israel's private, dirty laundry. The enemy is looking for any sort of weakness to capitalize on...politically or otherwise!

30. The ethical failure of former Shabak leader blabbering
Shalom Freedman ,
Jerusalem Israel
Once he opened his trap for 'The Gatekeepers' it was clear he would continue to do so, making it worse. Like Meir Dagan and like the other five former Shabak leaders who appeared in the politically motived 'Gatekeepers' he failed to be true to the ethic to which he devoted his life, the security of Israel.

Hi all, I'm working on a DSIG implementation and I have a question which I havn't been able to clear up definitively: Which of the following document type declaration is more appropriate for a DSIG-enveloping-signature- document? 1. <!DOCTYPE Signature> 2. <!DOCTYPE Signature SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xmldsig-core/xmldsig-core-schema.dtd"> Are both possible? Should a enveloping signature always be XML and core validated? Or is it sufficient to be (only) well-formed and core validated? Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance.

Five-story residential building to replace Allston auto garage site
A $23-million project to transform an auto repair garage site in Allston into 100 housing units has received city approval.
The redevelopment authority gave the green light to a local developer, The Mount Vernon Company, to build a five-story, 135,000 square-foot residential building that will include 101 parking spaces on the 36,000 square-foot piece of land at 9-23 Griggs St.
Griggs Street is a cross-street to Commonwealth Avenue and is the name of a stop on the MBTA's B-line, which runs along Commonwealth.
City officials said when the project is complete it "will enhance pedestrian activity" in the area "with new residential uses including the creation new open green space;" while under construction, it will create 200 jobs.
The developer recently amended initial plans calling for four fewer units and a sixth story.
