text: There are 12 dual opteron server class motherboards just on Tyan's site, not counting minor variants, plus some from SuperMicro, Sun, and etc. Half a dozen chipsets are used on these boards. Too much choice and very little time - I have to buy something early next week and just started looking today. So please pipe up if you have a dual opteron motherboard and/or server that you're happy with and that has been reliable as a file server/head node. We'll probably go with midrange Ultra320 SCSI internal disks again (10K 74Gb drives from Maxtor or Seagate) since the high end SATA drives cost nearly as much for the same capacity. For this particular cluster huge amounts of disk space are not required, and I suppose if we ever need it we could stuff in a couple of 500Gb SATA drives. (At which point the DLT320 would have to be replaced too.) General specs for this server are: dual opteron (around 246, speed isn't critical, dual core per socket not required) socket 940 (or is that a mistake these days?) 512M-1Gb ECC memory per socket (enough for a file server, no serious computing on this node.) 4 x 74 Gb disks Ultra320 (or make an argument for a particular SATA) dual 10/100/1000 ethernet on the mobo at least 1 serial port (2 ideally, since the UPS is controlled through one port. I suppose we could add a USB->serial port converter, or a serial port card if this is a problem.) Dual Ultra320 controller on board or on a card, one channel brought out to the rear of the case for backup. Graphics - whatever is on the motherboard, probably will only ever be used to set up the BIOS and maybe for the OS install. Disk storage slots >4, hot swap isn't required. CD/DVD - for OS install diagnostics only floppy - probably not case - 2U (big enough for adequate ventilation, right?)

Student-Athlete Advisory Committee
Nebraska's Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was implemented in 1987 to ensure that student-athletes have a voice regarding their total student-athlete experience. SAAC is a recognized student organization at the University of Nebraska and consists of at least one team appointed representative from each of Nebraska's 24 intercollegiate teams. SAAC meets bi-weekly throughout the academic year, communicating directly with Athletic Director Bill Moos on various student-athlete welfare issues. SAAC also coordinates a number of events within the athletic department and in the community of Lincoln to promote the importance of education, service and responsible decision making. Nebraska's SAAC has been recognized across the country as one of the most comprehensive, consistent and productive in the country.
Mission & Values
SAAC serves as the voice of the student-athletes, developing and displaying LEADERSHIP by:
- Exhibiting INTEGRITY through all actions.
- Striving to EMPOWER growth and community within each respective team.

SAAC Passes the Torch to New Officers
The 2017-18 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) under the leadership of President Austin Post, Vice President Alli Peterson, Big Ten Representative Nina Radulovic and Secretary Madi Unzicker had a productive year guiding several notable accomplishments. Representatives from SAAC met with adidas leading up to the athletic department's new contract providing critical feedback and insight regarding product. The group also was instrumental in helping coordinate the annual Diversity & Inclusion Summit emphasizing mental health. The SAAC membership also took the lead in planning an annual food drive benefiting the Lincoln Food Bank along with a new initiative, "One Shirt, One Body." This clothing drive provided title 1 Lincoln Public Schools students with gently used adidas shirts. SAAC meetings included presentations from Compliance, Athletic Director Bill Moos and Chief Financial Officer John Jentz. The leadership team of Post, Peterson, Radulovic and Unzicker have also altered the process to determine team representatives and prior to next fall will have revised the existing SAAC constitution.

The name Oliver Catt might not be a familiar one to many but over the course of the next few months we predict it more than likely will be. As Fantasy Rainbow, the project conceived in his Richmond bedroom a little over 18 months ago, Catt has managed to create one of the year's most startling debuts. Initially little more than a solo exercise brimming with ideas and a batch of songs largely expressing one form of self-loathing or another - listen to Fantasy Rainbow's 2011 "Christmas single" for further evidence - Catt has gradually written and recorded a batch of songs that stand comparable with anything released in a similar vein on either side of the pond in recent times.
He's enlisted the help of various friends and acquaintances along the way. Local musician-cum-producer Jonathan Coddington, former Answering Machine singer/guitarist Martin Colclough and a host of budding musicians including brother Josh all having played a part in Fantasy Rainbow's evolution, while Catt's relocation to Manchester undoubtedly sped up the recognition process somewhat.
Having released three EPs on the Tiny Lights label culminating in the excellent No Hope. Not Ever six-tracker in March, Grammy winning engineer Vance Powell, more recently known for his work on Jack White's Blunderbuss, invited Catt over to his Sputnik Sound Studios in Nashville with producer Ed Spear and Bos Taurus was born. Consisting of 11 brand new recordings, the only one previously available being 'O, Weirdo', released as a 45 at the back end of summer, its a multiply diverse collection highlighting Catt's strengths as both songwriter and arranger.
Opener 'Soda Scream' clocks in at less than two minutes, its two-chord melody riding merrily along the A6 towpath like a Mancunian take on Bright Eyes. By contrast, current single 'Condominium' takes its instructions from Pet Sounds before lacing it with the DIY aesthetics of a modern day Jazz Butcher. Just when you think things can't get any weirder, they do. Fusing the afrobeat rhythms of Vampire Weekend's first record or Animal Collective when they can be arsed, 'Nothing But' stands out as Bos Taurus' most danceable, and affluently accessible three-and-three-quarter minutes. Because to all intents and purposes - and despite its strictly lo-fi sensibilities - Bos Taurus is an incredibly infectious pop record, make no mistake.
'Earwax' draws inspiration from Grand Prix-era Teenage Fanclub, Catt even sounding like a young Norman Blake as he inquires "Could you be there when I need you?" at the song's midpoint. What's most charming about Bos Taurus though is the way every single piece reveals another side to its creator's character. 'Portra' takes the aftermath of rejection into Gedge-like territories, Catt opining "Baby I've tried so hard to get upset" over a woozy, surf-inspired riff. Meanwhile, 'Bread Biscuit' aims for the stratospheres, combining a bunch of ideas that could have formed up to three individual pieces on their own into one song.
Obvious comparisons are bound to be made with the likes of Christopher Owens (nee Girls), Wavves and Spectrals, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time sells Oliver Catt and Fantasy Rainbow short considering the diverse range of musical styles flowing through Bos Taurus. 'Or; Comfort' takes jaunty pop wonderfulness to a world inhabited by the potty-mouthed sons of Pavement, while 'Golf World' might not quite last two minutes but in its one minute and 57 seconds somehow manages to create a brand new genre all of its own; slackerfunk.
What's most incredible is Oliver Catt has barely left his teens, yet still effortlessly managed to craft one of 2012's finest records. While the weight of expectation is a burden, judging by Bos Taurus the future looks distinctly bright from every angle for Catt and Fantasy Rainbow. And that folks, is why anyone claiming the UK's underground music scene to be an arid and fallow wasteland really needs to get out more, because there's a whole lot more Fantasy Rainbow's just waiting to be discovered. You have been told, now what are you waiting for..?

Driving along Skinner Hollow Road, through hilly woodlands and across a tranquil stream, a motorist is about as likely to meet a milk truck as another car.
The shiny stainless-steel tankers ply this scenic stretch of blacktop every day of the year, collecting milk produced by the black and white dairy cows that graze in the green pastures on the picture-perfect farms of southwest Wisconsin.
Wisconsin cheese: A June 6 article about Wisconsin cheese makers gave the address of the warehouse of Edelweiss Creamery instead of its plant, where visitors can watch cheese being made. The plant address is W6117 County Highway C, Monticello, Wis. For more information, see www.edelweisscreamery.com. —
Some time ago, Skinner Hollow Road was home to three of the 125 cheese factories that once operated in Green County. Thirteen remain, prompting tourism officials to describe the county as a cheese lover's paradise, an appropriate moniker in Wisconsin where license plates proclaim it "America's Dairyland" and residents gladly call themselves "cheeseheads."
In fact, California — which cleverly markets itself as the land of "happy cows" — now ranks No. 1 in milk production. But Wisconsin remains the king of cheese. Although big factories churn out most of what's found in supermarkets, there are still a number of mom-and-pop producers who welcome visitors to watch as they make award-winning artisan cheeses. Tours often are followed by samplings of the tasty varieties.
The Edelweiss Creamery has stood atop a hillside at a rural Green County crossroads since 1873. It is here that master cheese maker Bruce Workman crafts the only traditional Swiss, or Emmental, cheese made in the U.S.
Workman pours about 1,700 gallons of unpasteurized milk into a giant copper kettle he had shipped from Switzerland. The milk is from local "rotational farms," where each cow has 1 1/2 acres on which to graze.
"After milking, the cows go back out onto fresh grass," he explains. "They won't go back out onto that [same] pasture for another six weeks."
Each week, Workman makes just four wheels of Emmental, each measuring nearly a yard in diameter and weighing 180 pounds. They're aged in a nearby warehouse where bacteria in the cheese create carbon dioxide, which, in turn, expands to create the familiar holes.
"When the holes are where we want them [size-wise], we cool the wheels to stop the growth," he says. "It's extremely labor-intensive."
From the Edelweiss factory near the village of Monticello, it's about an hour's drive through the rolling countryside of Green and Iowa counties to the historic town of Mineral Point. It's home to a prized gem in the cheese crown: Hook's Cheese Co.
Tony Hook describes himself and his wife, Julie, as artisan cheese makers who rely more on their hands than on machinery.
"If milk goes in one end [of a machine] and comes out cheese on the other — all with automation — that's not artisan cheese-making," he observes. And, like Workman, the Hooks believe that it takes quality milk to make quality cheese.
"We deal with small farmers with 10 to 60 cows," Tony explains to relatives who've stopped by for a lesson in cheese-making.
The farms "are all family-owned," he adds. "They've been in the family for over 100 years — a couple for 150 years."
In 1980, the Hooks added Colby to their list of cheeses. Two years later, pleased with their product, they entered it in the World Championship Cheese Contest. It was honored as "best of class" before moving on to be judged "finest cheese in the world" out of a field of nearly 500. The Hooks stopped selling generic blocks of cheese to distributors and began marketing it with their name on the label.
In 2006, their 10-year-old Cheddar won first prize from the American Cheese Society. And this year, for the first time, the couple is selling a 15-year-old cheddar that's been aged in a cave behind their factory. Given its unique flavor and limited quantity, the cheddar is in great demand. At the Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, it sells for $75 a pound.
Most of Wisconsin's artisan cheese is sold locally at the factories, in supermarkets and, during the summer, at farmer's markets. On Saturday mornings, the Hooks and Bruce Workman are among the dozens of vendors with stalls at the Dane County Farmers' Market, a popular affair on the grounds of the state capitol in Madison.
Many market regulars make their way across Carroll Street to visit Fromagination, a shop specializing in handmade Wisconsin cheeses.
"Ten years ago, there was just a handful of artisan cheese makers," says owner Ken Monteleone. "Wisconsin used to be known for its bulk Cheddar and Colby."
That's all changed, Monteleone adds, thanks in large part to the Master Cheesemaker Program at the Center for Dairy Research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
"No other state has such rigid standards," Monteleone says. "That's kept us pure."
Of course, Wisconsin's cheeseheads have seen those California Milk Advisory Board commercials that portray Midwestern bovines shivering in snow-covered pastures.
"They have spent a boatload of money, and they've done a wonderful job," says Edelweiss Creamery's Bruce Workman. However, "I've been out there and seen their cows. They're not happy cows when they're in a feedlot when it's 100 degrees outside."

There's something about school supplies that drives me wild. Ever since I was a little girl in awe of the amazing Trapper Keeper and boxes of crayons as big as my head, I've been mesmerized by them and their promise.
When I see the back-to-school sales pop up (just a few days after school ends it seems), I get all sorts of giddy ... and I start shopping. I pick up a few things here. A few things there. I figure my kids are going to need them for years to come, and they're all just so shiny, bright, and tempting. So when there's a sale on pencils, I scoop them up. Glue sticks, scissors, and rulers, oh my, and into my basket they go.
Before I know it, I have enough school supplies to provide for the entire third grade (maybe part of the fourth too), and I must face the facts -- I'm a school supply hoarder. You may be too. Here are six signs:
1. You get extremely territorial in the back-to-school aisle.
2. You hide your "stash" from your kids so you can ration the supplies out as you see fit ... and from your husband, because he just may call you out on your addiction if he saw it all.
3. You know that if there was ever an emergency, you could burn the boxes and boxes (and boxes!) of pencils you have for firewood.
4. You have purchased multiple protractors and compasses, and your kid is only just starting preschool.
5. When your kids head off to the first day of school with their backpacks filled with school supplies, you feel a sense of panic ... and race to the store to replenish.
6. You're still buying school supplies ... and your last kid graduated from college last year.
Are you a school supply hoarder?

10 Observations on Technology in Africa from Eric Schmidt of Google
"After a week of business meetings in the cities of sub-Saharan Africa, Eric Schmidt posted a detailed list of observations. As he used to run Google and is still on their board, I'll give him a bit more credit than others who might want to opine after a week's exposure to the continent's dynamism.
Eric starts with 3 positive major trends:
- the despotic leadership in Africa from the 1970s and 1980 is in decline, replaced by younger and more democratic leaders
- a huge youth demographic boom is underway, with a majority of the population of 25, or even under 20
- mobile phones are everywhere, and the Internet in Africa will be primarily a mobile one" READ MORE

As everyone knows, PILLARS OF THE EARTH is a huge novel that takes place in England over a 50-year period from about 1121 to 1172. The novel begins and ends in violence: It begins with the hanging of a mysterious young man who sings a chanson before they string him up. It ends with the hanging of a thoroughly evil and despicable character, as if the author is telling us that this hanging atones for the first one. At the end, as a coda, one of the main characters punishes the King of England for his part in the murder of Thomas à Becket.
Ken Follett is a masterly writer, and the way he introduces each of the main characters makes the reader want to know more. ELLEN is the woman with striking eyes who curses the people responsible for the hanging of the young man in the prologue. PRIOR PHILIP is shown neatly outmaneuvering an opponent. TOM BUILDER carefully builds a house, and stands up for his rights when challenged by his lord and master. WILLIAM HAMLEIGH arrogantly rides his enormous warhorse into a building site, and nearly kills a seven-year-old girl. Sixteen-year-old ALIENA impetuously informs her suitor that she will never marry him, because all he does is talk about "his dogs, his horses and himself".
I wasn't expecting to find so much violence in the novel, so much murdering, pillaging, and raping. But it didn't seem gratuitous. Anyone who has a feel for the history of the time, knows that the 1100s in England was a very stormy time, when the country was foundering in a civil war that went on for nineteen years. Needless to say, law and order broke down completely.
But you should not let the violence put you off. Follett has written a masterpiece, with vivid characters, and plot twists and turns that will make you stay up late into the night, (or nurse your insomnia at 5 am), and keep you entertained until the end.

William B. Greenlee (1872-1953) was a Newberry Library Trustee whose generosity greatly enhanced the Library's collections. Greenlee was an interested amateur student who studied Portuguese and Brazilian history in the Ayer Collection, meanwhile collecting books on his own. In 1937 he transferred his Portuguese library to the Newberry, where he worked among his books, selecting new titles and editing a volume of voyages to Brazil for the Hakluyt Society. The collection, numbering over 10,000 volumes, is particularly strong in these areas:
- Periodicals, gazetteers, bibliographies and collections of documents
- Travel literature and special subjects relating to social life and customs
- Biography
- General Portuguese history and literature, especially colonial expansion
- Local history and description
While purposely not focussing on first editions of old and rare books, the Greenlee Collection has been built into one of the world's finest working libraries of Luso-Brasilian research materials. In addition to print material, the Greenlee collection contains 226 Portuguese manuscripts, 1660-1815. The acquisition of over 15,000 16th through 19th century Portuguese leaflets, pamphlets and booklets in recent years, has added further research depth to this great collection.
Greenlee collection acquisitions are listed in the Newberry's online catalog and in the WorldCat database. In addition, Greenlee acquisitions to 1978 are described in A Catalog of the William B.

Brazilian Performance Rights Group Claims Collecting From Bloggers Was Simply An 'Operational Error' After Google Pushes Back
from the and-i-thought-google-was-just-there-to-screw-lowly-creatives deptLast week, Brazil's citizens were in an uproar about the national performance rights organization (ECAD) attempting to charge a non-profit blog over $200 a month for embedding Youtube and Vimeo videos, and implicitly threatening to similarly bill other blogs. ECAD claimed that not only was this allowed by Brazil's currently-standing laws but that, despite collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars from Youtube itself every year, this new set of fees would not be a double-dip.
How quickly things change, especially for entities who find themselves staring down an angry internet. At first, ECAD seemed disturbingly untroubled by the uproar, including the memeification of its intention to stretch the definition of "public performance" to include all audible sound. But it suddenly changed its prohibitively expensive tune when hundreds of thousands of dollars were at stake.
None other than Google Brazil itself issued a blog post stating that ECAD's existing agreement with Youtube did not allow the agency to collect fees from bloggers, pointing out the obvious to ECAD's wilfully obtuse representatives:
These sites don't host or transmit any content when they associate a YouTube video to their site, and as such, the fact of embedding videos from YouTube can't be treated as a 'retransmission'. As these sites aren't performing any music, ECAD can't, within the law, collect any payment from these.Having been smacked down by its main benefactor, ECAD issued a statement of its own, claiming the whole thing was just an "error" and that it had no intention of setting up tollbooths on every website with embedded video:
1- Ecad has never had the intention to curtail the freedom on the internet, known to be a space devoted to information, dissemination of music and other creative works, and propagation of ideas. The institution also lacks a copyright billing strategy geared to embedded videos. Royalties collections for webcasting have been under re-evaluation since February 29th, and the case reported in recent days took place before then. Nevertheless, it resulted from an operational error of interpretation, which represents an isolated fact in this segment. (...)Note that ECAD has left itself a bit of an opening for pursuing these fees in the future. Supposedly it can still go after blogs but only if it informs Google/Youtube of its intention to do so. It seems the only error it feels it made was getting caught. Everything else was simply a clerical screw-up and if all ducks had been properly ordered, it would have been free to bill websites for linking to Youtube.
2- Two years ago, Ecad and Google signed a letter of intent that guides the relationship between both organizations. The document details thatEcad can collect copyright fees for music coming from embedded videos, as long as it gives advance notice to Google/YouTube. As Ecad did not send such a notification, it becomes clear that this is not its goal. If it were the case, it would have sent the notification the letter of intent requires. (...)
As it stands now, ECAD has backed completely away from this plan. But, once the furor dies down and recedes into the past, I wouldn't be surprised to see this sort of tactic deployed again, if not by ECAD, than certainly by another "aspirational" performance rights organization.

text: Happy Sunday guys! One more elegant look today but totally different from the previous one, this dress is elegant but glamorous at the same time, I don't think it's the greatest one for a religious event, but for my taste it is perfect for a special dinner or fancy event. The texture is incredibly soft, you can't say it by looking at it but it's the comfiest dress I ever had! It's all elastic so it fits really well every size, the design is also pretty cool and flattering. To make the outfit a bit more "me" I added my favorite Lita spikes and laces tights, it's not me if the look is boring ahah! I have so many new outfits and reviews to show you, I can't wait!

Essendon footballer Nathan Lovett-Murray has been released from hospital after being stabbed in Melbourne's north on Tuesday in a domestic incident that has sent "a shiver down the spine" of the football club.
Police on Wednesday morning confirmed that a 30-year-old Pascoe Vale man was attacked in Reservoir during a domestic incident. Emergency services went to a house in Wright Street just after 10pm after a fight between three men.
There was blood spattered all over the front doorstep and what appeared to be dark marks on the lawn.
Lovett-Murray underwent minor surgery at the Royal Melbourne Hospital after being stabbed in the upper right arm. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Essendon doctor Bruce Reid said the player was stabbed in his bicep muscle but his injuries could have been much worse.
"It is a dangerous area of the body as there are a number of nerves and tendons around the bicep but fortunately he has avoided serious injury," Dr Reid told the Essendon website.
"He did cut the artery in his arm and as a result has lost a fair bit of blood."
"Most importantly, Nathan will make a full recovery and is expected to resume training next week," he said.
A 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy, both from Reservoir, are now assisting police with inquiries after being arrested.
"We understand he'll make a quick and full recovery, but at the moment obviously all our thoughts and focus is with him and his family, and his immediate welfare," Essendon chief executive Ian Robson said at a Windy Hill media conference on Wednesday morning.
"It's obviously been a very significant day for the football club with the launch of our Reconciliation Action Plan. Nathan would have been a big part of that and a big part of a whole range of activities ... in the build-up to what is a very significant cultural event for us, the Dreamtime game [against Richmond], not least of which a real contender to be selected to play in the game.
"This sends a real shiver down everyone's spine because Nathan is a really important person in the football club ... and a much-respected member."
Robson said preliminary information gleaned about the incident, which was attended by police as well as ambulance officers, was that Lovett-Murray had intervened to protect his girlfriend.
"From what we understand it took place at Nathan's girlfriend's house, in the night or in the early hours of this morning, and it involved an ex-boyfriend who, we understand, has a restraining order against him. Other than that we're not quite sure," Robson said.
"Nathan was defending himself, is what we understand. But the precise circumstances and sequence of events will now be a matter for the police investigation."
From what we understand it took place at Nathan's girlfriend's house, in the night or in the early hours of this morning, and it involved an ex-boyfriend who, we understand, has a restraining order against him.
Lovett-Murray was accompanied in hospital by the Bombers' welfare manager, Ashley Brown.
Lovett-Murray, a utility who has specialised as a high-impact substitute of late, has played one match this season.
Asked whether the stabbing wound could hinder Lovett-Murray's playing ability in future Robson replied: "It's too early to judge but the advice for now is that he will make a full recovery."
Essendon's players are on their weekly day off but were collectively informed about the incident and Lovett-Murray's condition.
Upon his release from hospital, Lovett-Murray thanked family, friends and the football community for their messages of support.
"Thank you to everyone for all the support, I am very grateful for all the well wishes," Lovett-Murray said.
"All is well, I'm feeling good and I will now rest up for the next few days and look forward to getting back to training early next week."
Lovett-Murray has played one game this season and has spoken of his plans for his post-football career.
He has created Payback Records, a recording label for indigenous artists. He told Fairfax Media last year that he also wanted to enter sports management.
''I'm looking at managing and mentoring indigenous athletes, but I also want to be more involved with the footy club, with the indigenous programs they run here and some welfare stuff they do here at the club,'' he said in that interview.
Lovett-Murray has played 143 games for the Bombers since his debut in 2004. His contract was extended at the end of last year.
Speaking of the contract renewal, manager Peter Jess said Lovett-Murray offered more than just football smarts.
''The footy club have given him another 12 months and supported his indigenous mentoring program … mentoring young indigenous footballers in the community, regarding lifestyle and employment and a range of life outcomes, and ensures they can get the best for themselves.''

Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
Squeaky Clean: Homemade All-Purpose Cleaner
Instead of reaching for one cleaner for this and another for that, this homemade and eco-friendly all purpose cleaner does a great job on just about anything. From dirty sinks to messy countertops, this homemade cleaner will leave things spotless with Borax and deodorizing lemon juice.
Borax is a natural grease-buster that also does double-duty as a disinfectant. The addition of vinegar breaks down bacteria, while hydrogen peroxide naturally cleans and shines. And this squeaky-clean concoction only costs pennies per bottle.
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Borax
- 1 tablespoon hydrogen peroxide
- 2 cups hot water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Spring of rosemary (optional)
- Essential oil (optional)
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spray bottle
- Gather the ingredients needed for making the all-purpose cleaner.
- Measure and add the Borax to a mixing bowl, and cover with the hot water. Whisk until incorporated.
- Measure and add the hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, and lemon to the bowl. Give the mixture a gentle stir.
- Use a spouted measuring cup to pour the cleaner into the spray bottle and top with a few drops of your favorite essential oil or a sprig of rosemary, which gives the all-purpose scrubber a slight scent. Now you're all set to spray on countertops or sinks and then wipe clean.

Crashes took 37,133 lives in the U.S. in 2017.
More men than women die each year in motor vehicle crashes. Men typically drive more miles than women and more often engage in risky driving practices including not using seat belts, driving while impaired by alcohol, and speeding. Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers. Li, G.; Baker, S.P.; Langlois, J.A.; and Kelen, G.D. 1998. Are female drivers safer? An application of the decomposition method. Epidemiology 9:379-84. However, in crashes of equal severity, females are more likely than males to be killed or injured. Bedard, M.; Guyatt, G.H.; Stones, J.J.; and Hirdes, J.P. 2002. The independent contribution of driver, crash, and vehicle characteristics to driver fatalities. Accident Analysis and Prevention 34:717-27. Evans, L. 2001. Age and fatality risk from similar severity impacts. Journal of Traffic Medicine 29:10-19. Evans, L. 2001. Female compared with male fatality risk from similar physical impacts. Journal of Trauma 50:281-88. Evans, L. and Gerrish, P.H. 2001. Gender and age influence on fatality risk from the same physical impact determined using two-car crashes. SAE Technical Paper Series 2001-01-1174. Warrendale, PA: Society of Automotive Engineers.
Since 1975 deaths among female passenger vehicle drivers have increased while male passenger vehicle driver deaths have changed little. The increase in female driver deaths can be explained by an increase in exposure. More women are licensed now than in the past. They drive more miles and are more likely to drive at night. The rate of fatal crashes per 100 million miles of travel for male and female drivers decreased similarly between 1977 and 2001 — a 48 percent decrease for female drivers and a 45 percent decrease for male drivers. Ferguson, S.A. and Braitman, K.A. 2005. Women's issues in highway safety: a summary of the literature. Research on Women's Issues in Transportation: Report of a Conference. Conference Proceedings 35; Volume 1: Conference Overview and Plenary Papers, pp. 39-50. Washington, DC: Transportation Research Board.
The following facts are based on analysis of data from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS).
Male motor vehicle crash deaths declined 11 percent from 1975 to 2007, while female deaths increased 1 percent. The increase in female crash deaths was largely due to a 61 percent increase in deaths of female passenger vehicle drivers since 1975. Deaths of male passenger vehicle drivers changed little during the same time period. Deaths have gone down among both male and female passengers, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Since 1997 motorcyclist deaths more than doubled for both males and females.
Motor vehicle deaths by gender, 1975-2007
Almost one-third of all motor vehicle crash deaths in 2007 were females. Females accounted for 29 percent of passenger vehicle driver deaths, 47 percent of passenger vehicle passenger deaths, 30 percent of pedestrian deaths, 12 percent of bicyclist deaths, and 9 percent of motorcyclist deaths.
From 1975 to 2007, the rate of passenger vehicle occupant deaths per 100,000 people decreased 18 percent among females and 38 percent among males. During the same time period, occupant death rates were 2 to 2 1/2 times higher for males than females.
Passenger vehicle occupant deaths per 100,000 people by gender, 1975-2007
The number of driver fatal crash involvements per 100 million miles driven in 2001-02 was about 50 percent higher for males (2.5 per 100 million miles traveled) than females (1.7 per 100 million miles traveled). Up to about age 59 rates were substantially higher for males than females. But starting around age 60 rates for males and females were similar. The gender difference was largest among drivers ages 16-19.
In 2007, the rates of passenger vehicle occupant deaths per 100,000 people were much higher among males than among females for every age group except 0-15 years. The gender difference in fatality rates was greatest for ages 20-24. Males ages 20-24 had the highest fatality rate, and fatality rates were lowest for males and females younger than 16.
From 1982 to 2007, the proportion of fatally injured passenger vehicle drivers with blood alcohol concentrations (BACs) at or above 0.08 percent declined by 29 percent among males and 37 percent among females. Since 1985 the percentage of fatally injured male drivers with high BACs has been about twice that of female drivers.

Rings of polynomial invariants of finite group actions are among the most classical objects in commutative algebra. There are many beautiful theorems ensuring that the invariant ring has good properties when the order of the group is invertible. However, if the order of the group is not a unit (i.e., is divisible by the characteristic of the ground field), many of these properties become more subtle. In this talk, I aim to illustrate some of the differences in invariant theory in this setting, and to describe some of my work in progress in this area.No Notes/Supplements Uploaded No Video Files Uploaded

I liked the book because it's about people trying to kill a sea monster, but it's good in the end because the people learn it's wrong to kill for no reason. My favorite part is when they let the monster free. I liked the illustrations because they looked exactly like they would if I would have drawn them. I like the author because she always makes a point in her books. This book is a part of the Magic Tree House series. It reminded me about someone trying to kill my pet frog.
I would recommend this book because it has a lot of adventure in it and people like adventure. I think my friend Jacob would like this book because Jacob likes adventure stuff. I think he would like the part when the salors catch the monster. That's the exciting part of the book when they use their wand.

LAS VEGAS — Last year, boxing promoter Bob Arum took a Manny Pacquiao fight to China and its rich casinos.
Wednesday, he lashed out at the go-to boxing site in Las Vegas, the MGM Grand and its massive Garden Arena, with such vitriol that you might assume Top Rank Promotions and its large stable of name fighters won't be back there.
Arum, furious that the bulk of the signage in the MGM Grand was not for his Saturday night headliner between Pacquiao and Timothy Bradley, but for the May 3 battle between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marco Maidana, was asked if this was it for him and the MGM.
"Never say never," he said. "But think about it. Why would I come back here after what they have done?"
Any erosion of major fights from the MGM — it will still get some from other promoters, of course — would bring an erosion of the wonderfully crazy moments that boxing has brought to this city for so many years.
Ah, where to start?
In 2004, after his fighter, Erik Morales, had lost a second straight close and controversial decision to Marco Antonio Barrera, Arum stood before the gathered press and proclaimed, "I'm sick of this [bleep]."
In 1993, in the midst of an outdoor fight at Caesars Palace in which Evander Holyfield was in the process of bloodying Riddick Bowe in a heavyweight title fight, a man in a flying fan flew from above and into the ring. Both fighters, as stunned as the crowd, stopped to gawk as James Jarrett Miller landed and got tangled in the ropes.
Bowe's corner didn't gawk. With their fighter standing in the middle of the ring, his face a mess, they attended instead to Fan Man by beating the tar out of him.
In May 2007, superstar Oscar De La Hoya, in the twilight of a Golden Boy career, attracted a record 2.4 million buys for a match against Mayweather. The eventual total pay-per-view revenue was $136 million.
Amid the usual bizarre in that one was that, for a while, De La Hoya was going to be trained by Mayweather's father, Floyd Sr. That disintegrated into some name-calling and outrageous money demands — what else, this is boxing — and eventually, De La Hoya hired Freddie Roach and lost a split decision.
Just 19 months later, a fast-rising Pacquiao was given a shot at the Golden Boy, who clearly and deservedly was on a Farewell Tour. This time, Roach was Pacquiao's trainer. After Pacquiao dominated and destroyed De La Hoya, who then retired from the ring, the Golden Boy acknowledged to Roach himself what the veteran trainer had been saying all along.
"You are right, Freddie," De La Hoya said. "I haven't got it anymore."
Then there was the September 2011 fight between Mayweather and Victor Ortiz. Ortiz, clearly in over his head, head-butted Mayweather in the fourth round and referee Joe Cortez stopped the action and deducted a point from Ortiz.
Ortiz, apparently feeling guilty, went to Mayweather in his corner during the delay and not only hugged him, but kissed him on the cheek.
Then Cortez got them back together in the ring, had them touch gloves and Ortiz, apparently thinking this allowed him a moment to collect himself, stood with his hands down. Mayweather, clearly not taking the hug and kiss to heart, clocked him with a left hook that knocked him back. Ortiz looked to Cortez for help, or to protest. But in a flash, Mayweather had finished him with a right hand that left Ortiz down, out and not to be heard from since.
In the ring after that one, veteran journalist and broadcaster Larry Merchant interviewed Mayweather on HBO and over the PA system. Mayweather snarled at Merchant that he didn't know anything about boxing. Merchant, 80, snarled back that, if he were 50 years younger, "I'd kick your ass."
None of this can top, however, the events of June 28, 1997, at the MGM Grand.
Mike Tyson was struggling, then got desperate in his fight against Holyfield, and in a clinch, bit part of Holyfield's ear off. When he did it again, he was disqualified and all hell broke loose in Las Vegas.
At one point, shots allegedly rang out and they closed down the MGM Grand casino. Yellow tape all around. Police entered the media room to announce that, but soon, casino executives returned to say that the sounds heard had been breaking champagne bottles on the hard floor in the hotel lobby.
Yellow tape around an entire casino for breaking champagne bottles? The gathered media was skeptical. It is like that.
There were reports of gunshots and popping noises late into the evening in the parking garage, but no official admission of guns being fired ever surfaced.
For two reporters, Norm Frauenheim of the Arizona Republic and Tim Kawakami of the Los Angeles Times, something was even more memorable than the gunshots.
Long after the fight ended, a security guard approached the pair and held out a cocktail napkin. On it, he said, was one of the pieces of Holyfield's ear that he had found. He said he was going to deliver it to the hospital, where they had taken Holyfield.
Later, they learned that the security guard had set out, but somehow lost the piece of the ear in the cab en route.
"I saw Holyfield the other day," Frauenheim said Saturday, "and I saw that little jagged edge where the piece of his ear is missing.
"And I couldn't help but think of that piece, still in some Las Vegas cab."

Year of Competition: 2008
Grant amount: $2500
Project Duration: Single Year
Type of Report: Annual
Period Covered: 2009
Description of Activity:
The Canadian Math Kangaroo contest is a volunteer-run annual math competition which aims to spread the joy of mathematics. In 2008 several new centres offered the contest in the Greater Toronto Area. The number of entries in Canada increased to 1092 in 2009. We organized training sessions, parents' contests, and award ceremonies. In July 2009 a group of eight students from Canada participated in a summer Math Kangaroo camp in France. Currently, the Math Kangaroo Team is working on materials to explain complex math problems in a more digestible manner for younger children.
Assessment of Effectiveness:
Entry Numbers
The 2009 contest became available for students in the following cities (number of entries in parentheses): Ottawa (244), Toronto (309), Edmonton (126), Calgary (57), St. John's (23), Markham (32), Brampton (40), Oakville (79), North York (136), Montreal (11), and Winnipeg (35). In total, 1092 students took part in the 2009 contest. By grades there were: 151 students in grade 3; 183 in grade 4; 185 in grade 5; 172 in grade 6; 145 in grade 7; 116 in grade 8; 54 in grade 9; 35 in grade 10; 23 in grade 11; and 28 in grade 12.
Although we have an operating website that allows us to manage the registration and the administration of the contest, it is still necessary to further test and maintain it.
Math materials development
Preparatory sessions are proved to be working in helping the participants to prepare better in math and that is why students and their parents appreciated training very much. However, several preparatory sessions are not enough. Therefore, we are looking forward to extend the preparatory sessions to meetings held on regular basis (Math Clubs). To satisfy needs of all interested students, we believe that the participants should be split into several groups based on their age and personal strength. Given the enthusiastic response from young students and their parents we think that Math Clubs should include groups of students of grades 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and, desirably, an advanced group (for exceptionally advanced students). Having rich experience in teaching math and running math competitions, we are going to develop a book intended for Math Club instructors, school students, and math teachers. At present we are working on the first level intended for grades 3-4 children. After that we are planning to start to work on the second level, intended for participants of grade 5-6 group. These materials will cover traditional topics such as counting methods, logic, numeration systems, divisibility, trial and error method, counting in two ways, proof by contradiction as well as some less standard methods such as number theory, graphs, invariants, math induction, extreme case, correspondence, and some other methods needed for math olympiads training. Materials will be supplied with methodical instructions, which will be useful for math teachers at schools for training purposes. Understanding this material, often perceived as difficult because of incomprehension, is a necessity for teachers and students. The textbooks will be written in a language children can grasp. During the summer we recruited a student (Josey Hitesman) from Concordia University College for helping us to prepare the materials. In the process of developing the materials we are going to attract more students specializing in mathematics and/or education.
Valerie Froese, our representative in Winnipeg, offered online math training classes for students across Canada. We also increased the number of preparation sessions in 2009, which would become Math Kangaroo clubs. Ottawa and Calgary representatives offered sessions for interested students twice. Again, we noticed that students who attended training sessions were more confident and prepared for the contest. They could deal with challenging questions with a positive attitude, and succeeded to manage better their time during the contest. Parents were pleased and interested in the practice selections, especially the problems with a non-standard, game-like context. Many of them requested that we host more training sessions. We regularly receive inquiries regarding the contest from parents and teachers that have not been involved in it before. The increased interest in challenging mathematics activities in connection to the Math Kangaroo contest is evident and confirms our belief! s that there is a need and a demand for alternative education in math. One aspect to respond to them is to create and make available good resources and practice materials. However, optimal results cannot be achieved without guidance from a teacher or a parent and through independent work only, due to the specifics of the content and the lack of exposure to the specific types of problems in the school math program.
Workshops for Educators
For the purpose of motivating more students to participate and practice for the contest, we recognize the importance of informing teachers and providing some support to the ones who would like to promote the contest among their students. In 2008-2009, we had two workshops for teachers: in November 2008, within the program of the Carleton-Ottawa Mathematics Association's regional mini-conference; and in May 2009, for teachers from Ontario, during the Annual conference of the Ontario Association of Mathematics Educators.
Math Kangaroo contest again provided opportunities for university students to gain experience in organizing school math competitions. Students were involved in the training sessions as well as in the overall contest organization.
The Canadian Math Kangaroo was present at the winter meeting of CMS. Our table with informative and promotional materials attracted the attention of the participants. Some of them expressed interest to become regional representatives. As a result, we hope to be able to set new centres for the 2010 contest. During the contest and the training sessions, we offered brochures from the UK Math League to parents, at a minimal cost, or free of cost. (in the UK, the Math Kangaroo contest is embedded in the Math League, as one of its rounds). On the contest day, students in several regions received, as souvenirs, customized pencils with the website of the contest.
This year, a group of eight contest winners and four parents traveled to France to participate in the international Math Kangaroo camp in Paris and Tours. We also received an invitation to send a group to Romania. The reason we did not organize a second group was mainly because of problems in finding parents willing to supervise the groups. Since at this point we cannot afford sending a teacher as a leader of the team attending the camps, we need to rely on parents who volunteer to attend the camp and function as group leaders. The Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest hopes that in the future we will be able to support a supervisor to provide Canadian children the same opportunity as children across the world. In addition, Canadians and US Math Kangaroo organizers should think on ways to hold Kangaroo Summer Camp in North America. Firstly, more Canadian and American Kangaroo participants can go to Kangaroo Summer Camp held on home territory. Secondly, for a number of years the Canadian team was invited to Kangaroo Summer Camps in Bulgaria, Romania, and France. Now it is our turn to organize camps and invite teams from Europe.
Currently, there are no locations at all in several provinces such as British Columbia, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Saskatchewan. Since we often receive inquiries from parents and teachers from cities where the contest is not administered (especially from British Columbia), we have been always searching for suitable organizations that are willing to open new contest locations there. As a matter of fact, a family traveled from Vancouver to Edmonton on March 29, 2009 only with the purpose of allowing their two children to participate in Math Kangaroo. As well, there are a number of main cities that participate in the contest, but it would be beneficial if we could reach the rural communities in Canada.
Other Support:
We are extremely grateful to CMS EG for supporting us for three years, 2007, 2008, and 2009. This support enabled us to start and establish our program. As well the support from the Canadian Mathematical Society through the Endowment Grant Program attracted additional funding. We also received financial support from
Future Plans (if any):
There are many activities we plan to do. We believe we will be able to attract funding to implement what we envisage. Our future plans include.

FDSOI Ecosystem
Figure 1 illustrates the roles of the major players in the FDSOI ecosystem.
Figure 1. The FDSOI ecosystem.
Regardless of whether a process is bulk, FDSOI or FinFET all of the major companies running wafer fabs buy the starting substrates. For FDSOI, an SOI wafer is needed with a thin silicon devices layer over a thin buried oxide layer. The leading provider of FDSOI wafers is Soitec with SEH as a licensed second source.
The fab operators for FDSOI are ST Micro as an Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) and Samsung and GLOBALFOUNDRIES as foundries. CEA Leti is the leading development organization working on FDSOI technology.
FDSOI products are starting to reach the market, Sony has produced an FDSOI GPS chip that reduces power by 5x to 10x versus standard GPS chips and NXP is producing 28nm FDSOI parts at Samsung for Amazon's Alexa.
Automotive is an emerging area due to FDSOI's inherent radiation tolerance. IOT is also expected to be a big market for FDSOI due to good RF and analog performance coupled with low power, high performance and relative ease of design.
Soitec has been manufacturing 300mm SOI wafers for many years. Originally 300mm was Partially Depleted SOI (PDSOI) used primarily by IBM. At one-time IBM produced the processors for all three major gaming consoles but that business is largely gone now. When I blogged about Soitec back in October of 2016 their 300mm manufacturing capacity was underutilized and the company was struggling financially.
My October 2016 Soitec blog is here.
During Semicon West, Soitec held a lunch briefing and they disclosed that the company is now profitable. 200mm SOI is utilized to make RFSOI that goes into the front-ends of cell phones and that has been a big success. 60% of Soitec's revenue is from RFSOI with 20% from automotive and 20% emerging. RFSOI is beginning to migrate to 300mm and FDSOI on 300mm is ramping. Silicon Photonoics is another emerging application for 300mm SOI.
Soitec has 650 thousand wafers per year of 300mm capacity in France. 100 thousand wafers per year of the 300mm capacity is currently FDSOI with 400 thousand wafers per year planned. Soitec is also restarting their Singapore facility with plans to produce 800 thousand 300mm wafers per year.
ST Micro
ST Micro was an early proponent of FDSOI and developed 28nm and 14nm processes working with CEA Leti. ST MIcro has put 28nm into production and licensed it to Samsung. ST Micro has never put 14nm into manufacturing but did license it to GLOBALFOUNDRIES to serve as the front end of line (FEOL) technology for 22FDX.
Samsung licensed 28nm several years ago but then delayed the introduction while they worked out the manufacturing process. 28FDS was introduced in 2016, RF is being added in 2017 and embedded MRAM (eMRAM) in 2018. NXP has been very vocal in support of 28FDS.
Samsung has now announced 18FDS for 2019 with RF and eMRAM in 2020.
I have recently blogged about Samsung's foundry roadmap including FDSOI here.
GF is currently ramping up 22FDX. 22FDX utilizes a 14nm FEOL licensed from ST Micro with a middle of line (MOL) that has two double patterned layers. 22FDX supports RF and will add eMRAM in 2018. 22FDX is the densest FDSOI process currently available and GF is reportedly engaged with over 60 customers.
My blog about 22FDX is available here.
GF is developing 12FDX with CEA Leti for introduction in 2019.
CEA Leti
CEA Leti has been a driver of FDSOI development. They did early work with ST Micro that led to the ST Micro 28nm and 14nm processes, that technology is being further commercialized by GF and Samsung. CEA Leti is now working with GF on GF's 12FDX development and according to CEO Marie Semeria has 15 researchers stationed at GF's fab in Dresden.
CEA Leti has modeled a 10nm FDSOI process and run test devices that match the modeled results. CEA Leti has also modeled 7nm and because 10nm did not need all of the performance boosters that are available Marie Semeria said she is confident 7nm is possible.
My previous interview with Marie Semeria is available here.
FDSOI has now built up a strong ecosystem. Starting wafers are available from Soitec and SEH, ST Micro is in production with 28nm as an IDM, Samsung offers 28FDS as a foundry with 18FDS in development, and GF offers 22FDX as a foundry with 12FDX in development. CEA Leti provides a world class research institute continuing to develop denser version of the technology with 7nm as a future option.

Sidibe rewarded with new deal
Stoke striker Mamady Sidibe has signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2012.
The 30-year-old, who joined the Potters from Gillingham on a free transfer in 2005, has recently made a successful return from a knee injury which saw him miss the second half of last season
"I am very happy here and so I didn't have to think twice about it when I was asked about a new contract," he said.
"The best of my football has been here and the dreams I have achieved have been with Stoke.
"I didn't want to go anywhere else. When you have been somewhere for five years, then it is not easy to leave."
Manager Tony Pulis is delighted to have secured the Mali international on a longer deal.
"Everyone knows what I think of Mama. He has been a key part of this football club's modern-day success and he is a fantastic guy to have around the place," he said.
"He doesn't score the amount of goals we would all like him to, but he is vitally important to how we play.
"He never gives anything less than 110% and if you ask the rest of the lads about him they all love having him in the team.
"It's great news that he has signed a new deal and his fantastic efforts since signing five years ago have warranted this."

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, he is preparing to take charge of the Reserve Bank in India during a spike in economic challenges for the country.
In India, growth is at its slowest in several years, and the rupee has hit a low of 61.80 to one U.S. dollar. Rajan, who was previously the Eric J. Gleacher Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund, has spent the past year as counsel on India's economic reforms. Come September, when Rajan takes office, he plans to initiate a series of measures to stabilize the rupee involving decreasing imports and increasing exports.
While the challenge is great, Rajan has been praised for his rare and essential record of speaking out about economic instability (of the U.S. financial system), as well as his sound warnings regarding India's economy the past few years. In a now-famous encounter, he predicted the impending crisis at a conference in Jackson Hole in 2005 for outgoing Chairman of the Federal Reserve Alan Greenspan, for which he was attacked as an anti-market Luddite. Three years later, he was proven right and has demonstrated how imbalances—both within the U.S. as well as between the U.S. and the rest of the world—brought about an unstable system which led to the financial crisis in 2008.
In Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy, winner of the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs 2010 Business Book of the Year Award, Rajan shows how the individual choices that collectively brought about the economic meltdown—made by bankers, government officials, and ordinary homeowners—were rational responses to a flawed global financial order in which the incentives to take on risk are incredibly out of step with the dangers those risks pose. He traces the deepening fault lines in a world overly dependent on the indebted American consumer to power global economic growth and stave off global downturns. He exposes a system where America's growing inequality and thin social safety net create tremendous political pressure to encourage easy credit and keep job creation robust, no matter what the consequences to the economy's long-term health; and where the U.S. financial sector, with its skewed incentives, is the critical but unstable link between an overstimulated America and an underconsuming world. Rajan outlines the hard choices we need to make to ensure a more stable world economy and restore lasting prosperity.
"Mr Rajan is no administrator but will also have to reform the RBI," wrote the Economist. "In the 1990s [the RBI] toyed with relinquishing some of its vast empire—it runs everything from monetary policy to public-debt issuance and bank regulation. Recently it has clung to its powers only to find that its multiple goals of stability, growth and low inflation conflict. Mr Rajan's task is to resolve those contradictions. If he succeeds, Western central bankers, who have seen a proliferation in their responsibilities since the crisis, will have another reason to listen to his views."

Archos über wireless movie player rides in
The big screen... in your hand
French media-player maker Archos has begun selling what it claims is the only handheld video player with a 7in display and wireless connectivity, all for just $550 (£286/€420).
In addition to said 7in, 800 x 480 touchscreen display and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, your money will get you 40GB or 80GB of hard drive storage and the ability to view and listen to a host of popular video, music and photo formats. It'll even display PDFs.
The 704 has a USB 2.0 port to transfer content over from a PC or Mac - or direct from digital cameras and the like. Video content can be grabbed using the optional DVR station digitiser - though Macrovision-protected movies will remain ungrabbable, Archos said.
The removable battery delivers up to five-and-a-half hours' video playback and up to 25 hours' music listening, Archos claimed.
All this in a unit 18.2 x 12.8 x 2cm and weighing 630g.
Archos is taking orders for the 704 from today, but it's not sending the product out until the middle of the month.

I attended the opening of Kenny Scharf's Naturafutura and Three Dozen! at the Paul Kasmin Gallery. I've gotten to know Kenny over the past two years from his Cosmic Cavern parties to his show at The Hole. His work is vibrant and fun and expertly executed. Naturafutura is a new series of large-scale paintings inspired by his time spent in Brazil. And with donuts being my favorite food, I obviously love Three Dozen! I also enjoyed the donuts that we could eat – I chose the pink one. Delicious.
Naturafutura and Three Dozen! will be on view January 27th through February 26, 2011 at Paul Kasmin 293 Tenth Avenue and 511 W. 27th Street respectively. Here are some photos from the night (though I unfortunately didn't get any of the man of the night):
All in all, it was a great night to celebrate the work of a very talented man, Kenny Scharf.

Michael Sean Winters, writing over on America magazine's In All Things blog observes:
"So, if he truly believes that human beings acquire rights at conception, he is evidently willing to overlook the rights of some unborn children on behalf of research to assist other already born adults. And, let us be clear here. The right he is overlooking is the right to life which he purports to be championing."If conscience is acting with knowledge, when it comes to life issues, it seems that Sen. Obama needs to do some research and Sen. McCain needs to act consistently on the basis of his correct judgment about when life begins. These observations are appropriate on a day in which the lead-in to the intecessions for Lauds begins: "We trust in God's concern for every person he has created and redeemed through his Son."

The application implements an external Mixer-Controller (MIDI-Protocol) for Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) like Logic, Cubase and many more.
MIDIMixer works as external MIDI-Controller providing 24 channel strips separated into 2 Mixer-Banks consisting of Mute- and Solo-Buttons as well as Stereo-Panorama-Fader and Level-Fader.
Free configurable text fields allow the individual labeling of each channel strip.
The app sends MIDI-Control-Change commands to be learned by your favorite Digital Audio Workstation (e.g. Logic, Cubase, etc.) running on Mac OSX or Windows (Apple's Bonjour for Windows and rtpMIDI needs to be installed).
- Select the Mixer Bank (1 or 2)
- Select the MIDI-Channel to be used by the controller
- Label the channel strips to identify them easily
- If you want to send all MIDIMixer settings (button values and fader positions) at once - to synchronize the connected DAW - then click the "Set"-Button
- The "Reset"-Button sets all values to default and sends them to the connected Digital Audio Workstation
1.) First of all you need to setup the MIDI WLAN- or Bluetooth-Connection (see below).
2.) Configure by hand or use the MIDI-Controller learning function of your Digital Audio Workstation to map the MIDI-Mixer controller change commands to the appropriate functions: Mute, Solo, Panorama-Fader and Level-Fader. Well, there is even the possibility to map for example a fader to the filter cutoff frequency of you favorite VST-Synthesizer to control it by your iPad.
MIDIMixer Control-Changes - MIDI-Commands:
The MIDI-Commands are separated into three values:
1.) Control Change - Hexadecimal: B0 + n or Decimal: 176 + n with n = MIDI-Channel
2.) Controller Number - The app uses Hex: 0 - 5F and Dec: 0 - 95
3.) Value (Hex: 0 - 7F or Decimal: 0 - 127) - Buttons are either 0 or 7F whereas fader use the whole range
Mute-Buttons (1 - 24):
Hex: B0+n; 0 - 17; 0 - 7F
Dec: 176+n; 0 - 23; 0 - 127
Solo-Buttons (1 - 24):
Hex: B0+n; 18 - 2F; 0 - 7F
Dec: 176+n; 24 - 47; 0 - 127
Panorama Fader (1 - 24):
Hex: B0+n; 30 - 47; 0 - 7F
Dec: 176+n; 48 - 71; 0 - 127
Level Fader (1 - 24):
