Two months ago, fresh from the playoffs, Denver Broncos general manager John Elway said that quarterback Tim Tebow had "earned the right to be the starting quarterback going into training camp next year."
Now, the only way that will happen, it seems, is if Tebow is on another team.
According to news reports, former Indianapolis Colt Peyton Manning has chosen to join the Broncos, and a contract is expected to be worked out soon. That almost certainly means the end of "Tebowmania" (not to mention the "Tebowing" meme) in Denver.
Why couldn't Tebow become Manning's understudy?
For one, Tebow is a running quarterback with poor passing skills. He would likely have trouble serving as a backup in an offense tailor-made for Manning, who relies on quick releases from an accurate arm and an ability to read a defenses.
What's more, Manning is famous for hoarding practice time. In Indianapolis, his backups took few snaps in practice and therefore got little opportunity to learn the offense Manning runs. For Tebow, a fierce competitor who needs to work on his development, such a fate would probably be far worse than being traded.
So who might want Tebow?
By all accounts he is a tireless worker and a fast learner, and the Broncos proved that a team willing to craft an offense around his running style can have success – and even win a playoff game. Moreover, his fervent following would virtually guarantee fans in seats for franchises with attendance problems.
Still, a suitor could be hard to find. Building a team around Tebow means running counter to the current trend in the National Football League of building teams around exceptional passers.
- One option is for Tebow to reunite with the coach who drafted him – Josh McDaniels, who is now the offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots. Rumors are swirling that he could end up backing up Tom Brady.
- He could also wind up in Green Bay, where the exit of backup Matt Flynn has left room for a solid No. 2.
- Another options is the Miami Dolphins, who are looking for star power – and there is no bigger draw for Florida football fans than their native son.
That brings us, inevitably, to the Jaguar in the room. Tim Tebow signing with his hometown Jacksonville Jaguars and reinvigorating the franchise has been a pipe dream for long-suffering Jacksonville fans ever since Tebow was a Florida Gator, an hour away at the University of Florida.
Many still chide the Jaguars for not drafting Tebow when they had the chance in 2010. The team's new owner, Shahid Kahn, has said that he would "100 percent" have drafted Tebow two years ago if he had been in charge. Even while Tebow was in Colorado, he was still the biggest celebrity in Jacksonville – his No. 15 Broncos jersey is a more common sight across north Florida jerseys of any current Jaguars player.
Now that he looks to be available again, fan pressure on the Jaguars' new front office will again head into overdrive.
There are plenty of reasons why Jacksonville trading for Tebow wouldn't be a good move.
New head coach Mike Mularkey is looking to build a passing game around first-year quarterback Blaine Gabbert. The team also recently acquired backup quarterback Chad Henne in free agency to compete with Gabbert. No one in the Jaguars camp has expressed any public interest in Tebow, so far.
But Gabbert had a disastrous rookie season in 2011. While part of his ineffectiveness can be blamed on the fact that he was working with a poor corps of wide receiver, the Jaguars' attempts to remedy that problem in free agency so far haven't yielded much.
So from a football standpoint, Tebow wouldn't be a terrible fit for the Jaguars. They have a decent offensive line, a huge running threat in franchise Pro Bowl back Maurice Jones-Drew, and a top kicker in Josh Scobee. (The strong leg of Bronco Matt Prater sealed many of Tebow's comeback wins last year.)
But the bigger argument for bringing Tebow home is an emotional one.
Even as a backup, he'd give Jaguars fans something to be excited about after a solid decade of perpetual disappointment. It would garner the city of Jacksonville some national attention, perking up ticket sales after years of poor attendance. The malaise over the franchise is such that rumors of the team eventually packing up and moving to a bigger market, like Los Angeles, are regular and rampant.
Monday morning, Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio called Jacksonville one the top three "least optimistic" NFL cities, saying that even amid the sense of hope that the offseason can generate, Jaguars fans have "nothing to be excited about."
If Tebow didn't pan out, it would be the latest in a long string of poor offseason moves by the Jaguars, who haven't been taken seriously in a long time. But if he did work out, even a little bit, Kahn, Malarkey and company would be heroes, and the First Coast would be relevant to professional football again.
As Kahn said of Tebow back in January, "there comes a time where emotion trumps rationality and this, if I was an owner, would be one of those moments for me."
The argument for the Jaguars signing Tebow might not make a lot of sense, but as we've seen time and again, Tebow has a way of turning conventional wisdom on its head.

The fight for mobile supremacy continues as Samsung's latest entry, the Galaxy S4 from Verizon, steps into the ring. How does it stand up to the competition?
Weighing jsut 4.6 ounces, the Galaxy S4 feels smooth and lightweight in the hand. Its generous 5-inch 1080p Super AMOLED screen bursts with color, perfect if you're looking for a smartphone that can handle video and games but still fits in your pocket.
It has a peppy quad-core 1.9GHz Snapdragon 600 processor with 2GB of RAM, more than adequate to handle your on-the-go needs. The model I tested comes with 16GB of on-board memory and includes a microSD slot for the storage-hungry.
Duration of battery charge depends on usage. I had no trouble, but if your experience differs you may want to try some battery-saving techniques like reducing the screen brightness and turning off Internet access when not in use.
I found no lag in response time when running apps or using Samsung's easy-to-learn touch gestures. However, I didn't have as much success with Samsung's touted Air Gestures and Air View, which allow you to navigate without touching the screen. These features aren't supported by every app, and where they are, they're not as reliable as touch gestures.
Similarly, Smart Scroll and Smart Pause sound helpful in theory but lose much in the practice. Both track your eye movements to determine when you are looking at the screen. Smart Scroll lets you tilt the phone to scroll, while Smart Pause pauses what you're watching when you look away from the screen. They're not perfect, but perhaps future versions will be more precise.
The Galaxy S4 runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Samsung augments your Android experience with its own S Apps including S Memo, S Translator, S Voice, and S Health, a fitness app. Of course, you have the entire Google Play store at your disposal as well. Samsung Hub promises to be your one-stop shop for music, video, and books, though people may be getting those elsewhere. Samsung Link allows you to view and transfer content between multiple devices and your computer.
The Galaxy S4's menus are refreshingly intuitive, with default options including email, calendar, apps, Internet, and messaging. This being Android, you can customize any way you wish. The Menu and Back buttons at the bottom of the device only light when active, which can be confusing if you don't realize they're there.
Other features of the Galaxy S4 include NFC and LTC, plus two cameras, a 13-megapixel rear camera with flash and another 2-megapixel camera in the front. You can edit photos from the device, or use Story Album to create your own professionally-printed albums. You can also use Erasure Mode to crop out that person who accidentally walked into your photo.
I was pleased to see that Verizon is calling security to the forefront with its VZ Security service. You can opt for the free basic version, which gives you antivirus plus McAfee SiteAdvisor which checks for bad web links. If you opt for the $1.99/month Premium version, you'll also get the ability to lock or erase the device, locate it with alarm and
GPS, and examine apps for privacy.
Samsung wants the Galaxy S4 to be your go-to device for mobile communication and entertainment. Once again they've delivered a solid performer that is simple enough for a beginner, yet flexible for the advanced user.

- 3/4 cup dry white wine
- 4 1/2 cups to 5 cups low-salt chicken broth, divided
- 1 teaspoon fennel pollen* or freshly ground fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
- 3/4 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
- 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lime peel
- 30 (about) 1/2-inch cubes Brinata, Etorki, or other young sheep's-milk cheese

- 3 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) or fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless French bread
- 6 cups vegetable oil (about; for deep-frying)
- Orange, lemon, and/or lime wedges (optional)
Recipe Preparation
Melt butter with oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft, about 4 minutes. Add rice, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt, and stir until rice starts to become translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add wine and cook until absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup broth and simmer, stirring often, until absorbed, about 3 minutes. Continue to add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until risotto is creamy and rice is tender, stirring often and allowing broth to be absorbed each time before adding more, about 25 minutes total.
Remove risotto from heat. Mix in fennel pollen and all citrus peels. Season with pepper and more salt, if desired. Spread risotto out on large rimmed baking sheet and cool completely, about 1 hour.
Place cheese in small bowl. Beat eggs and milk in medium bowl. Place panko in another medium bowl. Using wet hands, shape 1 heaping tablespoonful risotto into ball; enclose 1 cheese cube in rice. Dip rice ball into egg mixture, then into crumbs to coat. Place on clean rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining risotto, cheese, and coating. Cover with plastic wrap and chill on sheet at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
Preheat oven to 300°F. Place large rimmed baking sheet in oven. Pour enough oil into heavy large saucepan to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Attach deep-fry thermometer to side of pan. Heat oil over medium-high heat to 340°F to 350°F. Add 4 to 5 arancine at a time; fry until golden brown and crisp, adjusting heat to maintain temperature, about 5 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet in oven to keep warm.
Mound arancine on platter. Garnish with citrus wedges, if desired, and serve hot.

In the course of a the week, something interesting happened. Several adults who saw the OS got grazy about it. Megatotoro reports that even a school principal told him that she wanted PicarOS on all the lab computers of the school under her direction.
|Default desktop in PicarOS 2012 (GALPon MiniNo)
Well, when I installed PicarOS to the desktop and laptop computers of my 2-year old daughter, I said that I had great expectations. I meant that my daughter was not home when I performed the installs. Therefore, I had not seen her reaction to the OS, and this is, understandably, paramount to speak about the success of PicarOS. After all, the point of the distro is not getting adults excited (which it certainly did), but children.
My wife and daughter came back from their trip and the latter started narrating --with her growing Spanish vocabulary-- all of her adventures, while the former looked for her laptop to show me the pictures she had taken. It was a nice illustrated conversation: my daughter Eimi told me about her visit to the park with the dinosaurs and her mother filled in the gaps when I did not understand the narration.
But then, it was time to turn off mommy's laptop and Eimi, upset, started crying.
It was the perfect time to see the PicarOS laptop in action. As my daughter cried, I took out her machine and turned it on with discretion. Eimi continued showing her frustration until a distictively childish music announced that PicarOS was about to launch. Upon hearing the start music, Eimi turned to the screen and became quiet. The OS greeted her with its icons and colors and my daughter ran toward the computer. She sat in front of the screen in a state of awe, leaving her frustration tears behind.
We then began using the computer. I simply cannot express the look in Eimi's face; it was as if, for the first time, she had encounter a computer that understood her. She loved everything: the sounds, the colors, the icons, the software, the fact that the computer talks in the language she is trying to master...
Since then, Eimi regularly asks me to sit with her to explore the wonderful new world she has thanks to PicarOS. We are having great fun discovering, singing, and playing together. Today, for instance, we had a 1 hour 30 minute session of Poison Rouge in which, among other activities, she sang "Frere Jacques" and "Ten Green Bottles". To my surprise, she is picking up number in English quite fast, too.
This proves that PicarOS passed the test: it is a Linux distro that children can use to learn and enjoy. My child, for one, loves it.

SAN FRANCISCO—Four young hikers avoided spending the night on the side of a Santa Clara County mountain thanks to a search and rescue by California Highway Patrol aircraft.
The CHP says around 5:30 p.m. Saturday they sent one of their planes to search after getting a report that three hikers had become lost while hiking on Mt. Umunhum (UHM-un-uhm).
After a CHP airplane spotted what turned out to be four hikers on the west side of the mountain, a CHP helicopter was called for because it was too late to a send in a ground crew to rescue the group.
The helicopter hoisted the four from the side of the mountain. The hikers were not hurt, but were said to be "very fatigued." The CHP did not provide their ages but described them as "juveniles." Their names were not released.
Mt. Umunhum is about 25 miles south of San Jose.

I have a lot of respect for TR64_ogl since its the only plugin that can almost properly dump Jet Force Gemini's geometry. It might be a normal side effect, but every time the geometry is exported it comes out skewed and stretched based on the position of the camera. It does however export all the polygons unlike lemd3d8, but lemd3d8's polygons are undistorted.
Any chance this can be corrected for this next release?
It's great to see work continuing on this by the way.

It's hard enough to get retirement planning right with all the challenges your clients face—market volatility, living longer than they imagined—that could take their savings, but have you considered some of the other challenges they face that could take their lives? According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the proportion of older people treated for a combination of cocaine and alcohol abuse tripled between 1992 and 2008, and suicide rates are highest among people over the age of 65, according to the American Association of Suicidology. In our January 2012 issue, Olivia Mellan broaches this topic with actionable tips on how to prepare your clients for a retirement that more accurately reflects reality.
The recession and its aftermath have hurt everyone, but the past 10 years have been no picnic. Savita Iyer-Ahrestani talks to industry veterans to get their thoughts on where we've been, where we're going and what we can expect.
So many of the supposedly "non-correlated" asset classes sure were correlated during the economic crisis in 2008 and 2009, but the managed futures class wasn't one of them. Ben Warwick, CEO of Quantitative Equity Strategies and frequent contributor to AdvisorOne, explains why managed futures are such an effective hedge in this month's Overlooked Managers.
He's silver-haired and distinguished. She's cute and toned. They're sitting in beach chairs watching the sunset, or maybe walking hand in hand along the water's edge. They're relaxed, contented, affectionate. They're retired.
We've all seen this stereotype in retirement planning ads and brochures. But with the baby-boom juggernaut now beginning to roll past 65, the authors of two perceptive new books say that advisors need to help clients prepare more realistically for what retirement will be like. Olivia Mellan talks to Robert Laura, author of "Naked Retirement," for his perspective on the often unaccounted for dangers in retirement.
Roberta Taylor and Dorian Mintzer, "The Couple's Retirement Puzzle: 10 Must-Have Conversations for Transitioning to the Second Half of Life," outline ways advisors can make sure their clients are communicating to ensure their retirement dreams aren't derailed by each other.
Even veteran investment professionals, those who have been in the business for decades, are not shy to say that the 2001–2011 period was probably the worst time they have ever been through.
At the outset of a new decade, both the financial markets and the global economy still look tenuous. The European sovereign crisis is not resolved, the U.S. economy is fragile and inflation is on everyone's cards as a top concern in the years to come.
Yet seasoned investment managers believe that it's still possible to come out on top, and maybe even perform better in the decade to come, if they approach the market with dedication, discipline and devotion to the practice of investment management. Savita Iyer-Ahrestani talks to some industry veterans to get their take on where the next 10 years will take us.
Managing Volatility with Managed Futures
In today's markets, everyone is looking for a way to manage volatility. Ben Warwick and his team at Quantitative Equity Strategies have found one. Editor in Chief John Sullivan sat down with Warwick to learn more about it. He took so long to answer our first question about the benefits of managed futures, we wondered if he was multitasking.
"No, I'm not, I'm just trying to come up with a very easy to understand version of a not so easy to understand story," Warwick said when he finally got started.
Lately an advisor can rarely open a trade publication without coming across at least one article focusing on succession planning (we're guilty of that as well). Most of these columns center on how dire the problem is with the hope being that couching lack of preparedness in such alarming terms will inspire advisors to action. Outside of recommendations to begin succession planning sooner, specific solutions are often in short supply.
FA Insight admits to being guilty of perpetuating the succession fixation as well, citing in their recently released "2011 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: People and Pay" that lack of preparedness for succession presents "the greatest vulnerability for all firms." The latest FA Insight study goes further, however, in striving to identify why succession is such a serious challenge and recommending key areas of focus for advisors to improve their preparedness. Eliza De Pardo and Dan Inveen walk us through the survey results in Part 2 of their 2011 People and Pay series.
Read the full article. Read Part 1 of the People and Pay series from the September 2011 issue of Investment Advisor.

A laser device implanted in the thalamus of epileptic rats shut off seizure activity as soon as it began, researchers said. Also this week: electronic medical devices that don't need batteries.
Zapping Seizures in Rats
A laser system that targets the thalamus instantly stopped seizure-inducing signals to the cerebral cortex of rats, suggesting a new way of controlling intractable seizures in humans without injuring the vulnerable cortex.
Researchers led by John R. Huguenard, PhD, at Stanford University learned that post-thrombotic cortical stroke resulted in neuronal hyperexcitability in the thalamus, which is distant from the cortex but connected to it. To see if this process could be interrupted in real time, they developed an automated implantable system that emitted 594-nm light to the affected area as soon as seizure activity began.
Within 1 second the neural output of the thalamocortical cells in the study animals normalized, apparent seizure activity ceased, and the rats returned to normal behavior patterns.
These findings were unexpected, because it has previously been thought that the changes in brain structure and function associated with epilepsy were localized to areas adjoining the cerebral cortex.
Potential implications include the possibility of seizure control in patients with epilepsy who do not respond to drug therapy or surgery, and without disturbing the cortical processing necessary for cognitive functioning, the researchers wrote in Nature Neuroscience.

Battery-Free Medical Devices, Part 1
A device that harvested electrical energy from the inner ear of a guinea pig powered a radio transmitter for 5 hours, demonstrating the potential for a "biologic battery" to run medical devices and sensors.
An implanted energy-harvesting electronic chip tapped into the endocochlear potential (EP), an electrochemical gradient maintained by the inner ear. Integrated with a wireless sensor, the chip extracted at least 1.12 nW of electrical energy from the EP, enabling the radio transmitter to provide EP measurement data every 40 to 360 seconds.
"With future optimization of electrode design, we envision using the biologic battery in the inner ear to power chemical and molecular sensors, or drug-delivery actuators, for diagnosis and therapy of hearing loss and other disorders," Anantha P. Chandrakasan, PhD, of Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, and co-authors wrote in a letter published online in Nature Biotechnology.
Scientists have long recognized that humans and animals generate and consume large amounts of electrical energy. The EP is the largest positive direct-current electrochemical potential in mammals. The potential results from the difference in ionic concentration in extracellular fluid of the inner ear (endolymph) and extracellular fluid that fills surrounding spaces (perilymph).
Though well characterized, the EP previously had not been used to power electronic devices, the authors wrote.

Battery-Free Medical Devices, Part 2
Another ready-made energy source to power medical devices is the heartbeat, researchers suggested.
A prototype pacemaker developed by a team at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor generated 10 times more energy than required by modern pacemakers using just the electrical charge from motion of magnets during simulated heartbeats.
The energy "harvesting" portion was half the size of a conventional pacemaker battery and worked over a wide range of heart rates from 20 to 600 beats per minute, the group reported at the American Heart Association meeting in Los Angeles.
Pacemaker batteries usually last 5 to 7 years, after which the whole device, which otherwise is still entirely functional, has to be replaced.
"Many of the patients are children who live with pacemakers for many years," lead author M. Amin Karami, PhD, of the university's department of aerospace engineering, explained in a press release. "You can imagine how many operations they are spared if this new technology is implemented."

Trapping PARP
So-called PARP inhibitors are promising treatments for some forms of breast and ovarian cancers, but exactly how they work is not completely understood, according to researchers led by Yves Pommier, MD, PhD, of the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Md. The prevailing notion is that blocking PARP -- poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase -- prevents DNA repair in cancer cells, leading to cell death.
But in Cancer Research, Pommier and colleagues report a possible second mechanism -- PARP inhibitors trap PARP against DNA, forming cytotoxic complexes.
Three PARP inhibitors now in clinical trials – niraparib, olaparib, and veliparib – had different trapping abilities that weren't correlated to their ability to inhibit PARP. That finding might help explain difference in clinical trial outcomes, the researchers noted.

Viagra Offsets Cancer Drug Heart Effects
Sildenafil -- better known as Viagra -- alone or in combination with rapamycin (a.k.a. sirolimus) significantly offset the adverse effects of doxorubicin on the heart, researchers reported at the meeting of the American Heart Association in Los Angeles, Calif.
A mouse study by Rakesh Kukreja, PhD, of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, and colleagues tested whether the drug combination offset cardiotoxic effects of the cancer treatment while maintaining efficacy against breast cancer cells.
Doxorubicin is a "powerful anti-cancer treatment" indicated for a wide variety of conditions -- including breast, ovarian, colon, and prostate cancers -- with potentially lethal adverse heart events.
Kukreja said that doxorubicin's anti-cancer effects were significantly improved while the heart was protected, with "the most powerful effect" when all three drugs were used in combination, protecting the heart muscle from apoptosis and, to a lesser extent, necrosis.
He added that the therapy may have "excellent potential to move forward into clinical trials and eventually improve life expectancy of cancer patients."

Special Tomatoes Cut Atherosclerosis in Mice
Eating tomatoes genetically engineered to produce a protein mimicking apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) from HDL cholesterol reduced atherosclerotic plaque in mice, researchers found.
The protein – called 6F – acts like a more potent version of apoA-I, Alan Fogelman, of UCLA, reported at the American Heart Association meeting in Los Angeles. He and his colleagues engineered tomatoes to contain the protein, freeze dried them, ground them up, and fed them to mice that lacked the ability to remove LDL cholesterol from their blood.
After 13 weeks of eating the tomato powder added to a Western-style, high-fat, high-calorie diet, the mice had less inflammation in their blood, lower triglycerides, lower LDL cholesterol levels, and higher levels of HDL cholesterol and paraoxonase, an HDL-associated antioxidant enzyme.
They also had 50% less atherosclerotic plaque in their aortas compared with mice that ate powdered tomatoes that did not contain 6F.
But people aren't likely to find 6F-containing freeze-dried tomato bars in the supermarket any time soon.
"We're hopeful that this will be a strategy that can be applied in a variety of settings," Fogelman said at a press briefing, "but we're a long way from doing this in humans."

Despite the difficulty in navigating the Blogger platform to "leave a comment," it has garnered over a dozen comments over the years. Who knew that the Mastersounds were as widely popular and highly regarded by the general Jazz public?
Monk Montgomery developed the idea for the combo while living in Seattle after he got off the road with the Lionel Hampton Big Band in 1956. According to Ralph J. Gleason, a down beat columnist at that time: "Monk, from his experience in Seattle, was convinced a good jazz group would have a chance to work in that city and he was right."
The Mastersounds opened at Dave's Blue Room on January 14, 1957 for a successful three month engagement. However, a dearth of work followed prompting the group to pool its meager resources and send Monk Montgomery on a trip to San Francisco and Los Angeles looking for gigs and a recording contract.
Shortly after arriving in San Francisco, Monk Montgomery stopped by The Jazz Showcase, a then newly formed club on venerable Market Street with a unique "soft drink only" policy. Dave Glickman and Ray Gorum, owner and manager of the club, respectively, upon hearing the Mastersounds tapes Monk Montgomery had brought along, booked the group into the room beginning in September, 1957 for an unlimited engagement.
The fairy-tale quality of Monk Montgomery's California trip was to get even better when he continued his 'quest' down to Hollywood. There he met fellow bassist Leroy Vinnegar whose immediate reaction to listening to the Mastersounds demo tapes was to call Dick Bock, president of World Pacific Records. Upon hearing them, Bock signed the group to a contract that would result in six albums being produced for the World Pacific/Pacific Jazz Series until The Mastersounds disbanded as a performing group in December, 1959.
Fortunately, in recent years, most of the Pacific Jazz recorded legacy of the Mastersounds has found its way onto compact disc including a session when the group reunited in the recording studios of Fantasy Records on August 10 and November 2, 1960 and the two albums that group made on these dates [Fantasy 3305 and 8862] have been combined and issued as The Mastersounds Fantasy FCD 24770-2. The cover art for this CD is by Ray Avery and is shown as the graphic lead-in to this article.
The CD tray plate annotations offers the following comments about The Mastersounds:
"Because their instrumentation of vibes-piano-bass-drums mirrored that of the contemporaneous Modern Jazz Quartet, one of the finest and most celebrated groups of all time, the Mastersounds may have been somewhat overlooked. Moreover, the Mastersounds best known members, vibist-arranger Charles "Buddy Montgomery [b. 1930] and William "Monk" Montgomery [1921-1982], who pioneered the electric bass in jazz, were the younger and older brothers, respectively, of Wes Montgomery, merely the greatest jazz guitarist of the post-bop era. (The ensemble was completed by drummer Benny Barth who, like the Montgomerys, was from Indianapolis and pianist Richie Crabtree). Still, the West Coast foursome's coolly soulful, tastefully-arranged approach won them their share of fans, as well as the 1959 Down Beat Critic's Poll for Best New Group."
At World Pacific, The Mastersounds first LP – Jazz Showcase … Introducing the Mastersounds [PJM-403] incorporated many tunes and arrangements that had become staples of their repertoire during the group's tenure at the club including a spirited [an oft-requested] version of Bud Powell's Un Poco Loco, Wes' Tune by Wes Montgomery, and Dexter's Deck by tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon. This debut album also offers intriguing Buddy Montgomery arrangements on such standards as Lover, If I Should Lose You, That Old Devil Moon and Spring is Here.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending upon your point of view, what followed this initial release were three Mastersounds albums on World Pacific which were intended to capitalize on the Jazz-Impressions-of-Broadway-Show craze that swept the country in the late 1950s.
In the span of about two years, Dick Bock was to release The King and I: A Modern Jazz Interpretation by the Mastersounds [PJM-405], Kismet: An Interpretation by the Mastersounds [WP-1243] which included Wes Montgomery, and Flower Drum Song: A Modern Jazz Interpretation by the Mastersounds [WP-1252].
These three LPs were a commercial success for Dick Bock's label and helped to enhance public awareness of the Mastersounds. Somewhat surprisingly, given the inappropriateness or unwieldiness of much of the material for Jazz treatments, each does contain some interesting music.
The King and I offers intricate arrangements by Buddy Montgomery particularly on Getting to Know You and Shall We Dance; Kismet has a lovely interpretation of Baubles, Bangles and Beads and some fresh ideas on how to syncopate the usually stodgy Stranger in Paradise; Flower Drum Song with tunes such as Love Look Away, Grant Avenue, Chop Suey and I'm Going to Like it Here provide many opportunities to employ pentatonic scales, modal vamps and even a Max-Roach-tympani-mallet extended drum solo by Benny Barth.
It wasn't until late in 1958 with the issuance of Ballads and Blues [WP 1260] that the Mastersounds returned to its jazz roots.
This album includes a captivating Blues Medley made up of Milt Jackson's Bluesology, Dizzy's rarely heard Purple Sounds, and John Lewis' Fontessa, as well as, first-rate interpretations of Miles' Solar and Dizzy's The Champ.
In late 1958 and throughout 1959, the Mastersounds became a frequent fixture at the Jazz Workshop in San Francisco, while also appearing that year at the Blue Note in Chicago, Birdland in New York and Rhode Island's Newport Jazz Festival.
With their return to Southern California in 1959 for a stint at Jazzville in Hollywood, Dick Bock picked their April 11th concert at Pasadena Junior College to record an issue their only in-performance recording – The Mastersounds in Concert [WP 1269].
As C.H. Garrigues, jazz critic of The San Francisco Examiner at the time comments in his liner notes for the recording:
"From the opening of 'Stompin' at the Savoy' through the tongue-in-cheek sentimentality of 'In a Sentimental Mood," into the flying carpet of 'Love for Sale,' through the thoughtfully lyric development of 'Two Different Worlds,' … it would be difficult to find any area of sincere jazz feeling in which they are not at home."
And, in celebration of their warm reception as artists-in-residence at their beloved North Beach San Francisco bistro, The Jazz Workshop, at the end of 1958, World Pacific released The Mastersounds Play Compositions of Horace Silver at the Jazz Workshop [WP-1282].
With their sensitive interpretations of Horace's Ecaroh, Enchantment, Nica's Dream, Doodlin', [the-all-too-rarely-heard] Moonrays and Buhania, as Richard Bock points out in his liner notes:
"The music of Horace Silver provides a perfect vehicle for the Mastersounds to project their very earthy concept yet sophisticated jazz conception. The group has never been recorded in better form. …
The Mastersounds have reached a jazz maturity that has developed from over three years of playing together. This collection of the music of Horace Silver, one of Jazz's greatest new composer-arrangers, represents a high point in the Mastersounds' career."
For a variety of reasons both personal and professional, the Mastersounds decided to disband as a performing and touring group in 1960, although the fact that they all took up residence in the greater San Francisco area after this decision made it easy for them to regroup later in the year to record the two sessions for Fantasy.
From the standpoint of what might have been, and to my great delight since these are their only recordings in a digital format, the Fantasy recordings made on August 10 and November 2, 1960 which have been combined and issued as The Mastersounds [Fantasy FCD 24770-2] show the group to be in exceptional form both individually and collectively.
The ensemble work is superb, the arrangements are intricately complex, and their improvisations are, to a man, their best on record, especially those of Benny Barth who had developed into a inventive and technically adroit drummer over the 4 year span of the group's existence.
Unfortunately, the Mastersounds existed during a time when the World of Jazz, unlike today, basked in a surfeit of riches making their superb contributions to the genre all too easy to overlook.
And, with all due respect to Messer's Jackson, Lewis, Heath and Kay, the Mastersounds during its brief life, were the equal musically, of anything offered by the MJQ with the exception of its longevity which, in and of itself is not always the ultimate standard of judgment.
The problem in any "Age of Excess" is that the star that burns the longest is not necessarily the brightest.
And yet, the existence of the Mastersounds made my formative days in the World of Jazz all the better for having not missed the opportunity to know them and their music.
It is always important to remember those who helped "make you as you go," thus - a remembrance of the Mastersounds.

Not sure what went wrong. I followed the directions to a T and the mixture never thickened, it went straight from a very thin frothy milk to a very thin curdled mess. I've made several crème brulees that use a similar process with no issue... After reading several more recipes it seems that they use up to 4 times the amount of eggs that this one did. :(

This is an awesome vanilla ice cream recipe. I was looking for a homemade ice cream recipe for my twins 2nd birthday party. I do not like the powder mixes you can buy at the grocery store, so this was perfect. I had sooo much to do for the party... I made this ice cream two days ahead of time and stored it in a pitcher in the fridge. Then, 45 minutes to party time, I poured it into the ice cream maker cylinder and made homemade ice cream! I felt like I should pat some flour on cheeks like the Rice Krispies commercial! Haha! I set out some chocolate syrup, caramel and strawberry syrup. My girls added Oreos to theirs... It was perfect!
Jul 7, 2013
If you didn't have good results with this recipe, try using Madagascar vanilla. It also does make a difference with the flavor if you chill it before freezing it. The vanilla melds with the cream....oh so good!
Jun 13, 2011
This is without doubt THE best vanilla ice cream I have ever had ! I have taken it to big pot luck dinners several times and EVERYONE loved it. It is so creamy and has a good vanilla flavor !

Punch and Judy. The grim and glum reality of opportunism is today more and more prevalent, more and more accessed, acquiesced, more or more or less bad, worse than before. We are confronted on all sides by both overt and covert 'research' groups, by think tanks and lobbyists, who have decided – in a climate of total war – that we need to attend to (the control of) the global public sphere. The tanksters are interested in ideas, in projects and in strategies, they are interested in the management of feelings, the orchestration of responses, they are interested in refining a certain clarity of message. They bring us bread and circuses – both stale.
Their boosterism says nothing. The climate they encourage thrives on the sentiment of abstract disengagement – alongside the promulgation of procedure and the 'dictatorship of the secretariat' – they persuade us that we abjure our interest or involvement in political questions because a) things are too complex and b) complexity needs to be controlled.
These people are sceptics who rail against scepticism. They present themselves as those who present answers, but the way they do so cynically narrows the space of answers to a tightly controlled furrow. The engagement they favour is disengagement except on their own studiously abstract terms. There is no room for the questioning of sceptics in their cynical world.
And then they sometimes claim they are for democracy – but not broadband democracy or open debate – rather a pay-per-view, programme management, narrowcasting, niche-market democracy. Their democracy excludes debate, questions, objections and alternatives. They have long ago vetoed the possibility of thinking outside the box, for there lies danger, difference, a multiplicity that cannot be corralled. The box must always have a brand mark, a slogan, a font or a strapline – sometimes just a colour (the colour is always drab).
They promote their insights as research, as scholarship, as traditional values and as wisdom – but they are faceless, passionless, automatons – going though the motions (jack boots are not far away, but they forgo them for frequent flyer miles and airport lounge privileges).
I do of course think there are more than two sides – the lines shift and the players change, sometimes swapping, sometimes double agents. But there are some, the best you can say of them is that while they are one of 'them', they do at least talk like 'us'. We should carefully watch these ones especially.
Who are they? In fact they are us. Turn again Dick Whittington, Turn again.
And why Dick Whittington? – see here for both the real and the Pantomime story, where a cloth-merchant adventurer pilfers some gold, travels to the orient to get rich, and returns to London to become Mayor. OK, this all happened 700 years ago, but the cat seems to have nine lives. These are notes for Pantomime Terror – inaugural on 30/09/08 (5.30, IGLT Goldsmiths).

Grand Theft Wiki talk:About
GTAWiki Collaboration
GTAWiki creator Thai420 has given GTW his support to work "with" GTAWiki, and has given Chief of Staff and A-Dust full power to make the decisions around that. GTW and GTAWiki are two sites running for the same reason - to provide detailed information about GTA to the public. So why shouldn't we work together? There is plenty of existing competition, with WikiGTA, Wikipedia and GTAModding. A collaboration, in one form or another would be beneficial to the editors of both sites, our task now is to decide which form of collaboration is the best choice for the sites and the GTA-loving community - Xenon (?) 19:05, 11 May 2007 (BST)
As I see it, we have several options. Feel free to add another option if you see an alternative. Please comment under any of these -start line with ** and sign your name.
- Agreement - This option would be a simple agreement that any content written on one site can be used freely on the other. This is certainly the easiest options, and would help both sites get more content, and would also allow both sites to use the information in their own way (as the two are slightly different). However, this can mean twice the work as the
- Interwiki - This option would make the two sites sister-projects, and would allow for instant linking between the two wikis. They would remain physically separate, but things such as images uploaded to one wiki could be used on the other. It may also be possible to share user accounts. However, the biggest restriction is that Wikia does not allow access to the back-end of the wikis, so the configuration files cannot be edited and this could prevent this idea from working.
- Merging - This is the most drastic option - the two wikis could merge into one single wiki. This process would take time, but would result in almost all content being moved across to the chosen single wiki, although users would have to re-register. This combination of efforts means that one super-wiki is created with probably more GTA content than any other site. The hard part is deciding which site stays and which site goes.
- My personal opinion is that GTW has the basic structure and planning of a very good wiki, although it is nowhere near to reaching it full potential as far as content is concerened. Wheras I get the feeling that GTAWiki has grown and has solved problems along the way, but is not set up in an ideal way. Also, the fact that GTW has its own hosting and its own domain would be a real advantage. However, I doubt Wikia would be willing to let their English GTA wiki go without a fight, and they definitely wouldn't link to GTW if that was chosen. Xenon (?)
- I completely agree with what Xenon has said above - that GTW is all set up to become a great wiki, but lacks sufficient content, additionally, having its own domain is a great advantage. GTAWiki has a ton of content, however it's not set up well, and is bound by wikia policies and such, including the software etc. - probably less freedom with what they do with the wiki. I think the agreement is more the way to start this off. --Chris 23:31, 11 May 2007 (BST)

At a banquet held in honor of Consul General Desko Nikitovic, at New Gracanica Monastery, Chicago, His Grace Bishop Longin, presented Nikitovic with the medal of the Order of Czar Konstantin, which was conferred by Serbian Patriarch Irinej
On Saturday, October 12, 2013, His Grace Bishop Longin, hosted a banquet at New Gracanica Monastery in honor of Desko Nikitovic, who held the position of the Consul General of Serbia in Chicago, from March 1, 2003 to September 28, 2013. Over 300 guests attended the event, including representatives from every national organization in the Serbian Diaspora in the US, distinguished businessmen, doctors, lawyers, and educators. Also attending was a special guest, Vuk Nastic, father of the two young children from California who were separated from their parents for 8 months and who were reunited to their family only after the direct intervention of Consul General Nikitovic.
All of the speakers enumerated Desko Nikitovic's tremendous work and results while Mr. Nikitovic headed the Consulate for the previous decade. Mr. Niktovic was specifically acknowledged for all of his cultural, economic, and social contributions, the greatest of which, was the reunification of the motherland and the diaspora. In a very emotional speech, Vuk Nastic said that he believes that his children would have never been returned to their family, had it not been for the advocacy of Consul General Nikitovic. Also during the evening's program, a letter sent to the Nikitovic family by HRH Prince Aleksandar Karadjordjevic and Princess Katherine was read. In the letter, HRH Prince Aleksandar said that the departure of General Consul Nikitovic is a tremendous loss to the Consulate in Chicago, the state of Serbia, and the Serbian Diaspora.
His Grace Bishop Longin, of the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of New Gracanica-Midwestern America, spoke of the strong bond between the Church and the Consulate. Bishop Longin expressed gratitude to the Nikitovic family for the generous financial contributions to humanitarian projects in Serbia and the Serbian Diaspora in America. He made special mention of the Consul General's wife, Ryann Nikitovic, whose family is one of the largest benefactors in the Serbian diaspora.
At the end of the evening's program, Bishop Longin, bestowed upon Desko Nikitovic the medal of the Order of Czar Konstantin. His Holiness, Serbian Patriarch Irinej, honored Mr. Nikitovic with this medal in commemoration of his ten years of sacrificial work in Chicago, and he will be the first recipient of this prestigious honor in the United States. Desko Nikitovic, who will continue his career in Chicago, sincerely thanked the church, national organizations, and all individuals who throughout the years supported the work of the Consulate and his family. Nikitovic stated he was proud of his accomplishments to improve the Serbian image in America for strengthening economic relationships with the US and for creating a strong bond between the motherland and the diaspora.

Stay informed with Shaw Local's Election Central. Research your ballot, where the candidates stand on the issues and set yourself up with a reminder to vote.
McHenry County Undersheriff Andrew Zinke was staying quiet on his immediate plans the day after Bill Prim took the Republican nod for McHenry County sheriff.
After early votes were counted, Prim, a retired Des Plaines police commander, edged Zinke by 98 votes.
Prim declined an interview Tuesday night, and multiple follow-up requests for a post-election win interview were not returned.
Zinke said it was still too early to give the win to Prim, who declared victory before his supporters Tuesday night. Zinke still wasn't ready to concede Wednesday, believing there were more votes to be counted.
"We'll wait until all the votes are cast, and we'll take it from there," Zinke said.
McHenry County Clerk Katherine Schultz confirmed there are 47 late absentee ballots outstanding – not enough to square up the race.
Any late absentee ballots postmarked by the date of the election have two weeks to arrive at the clerk's office to be counted. At that time, any provisional ballots would be tabulated as well.
Schultz said there typically are a few provisional ballots, or those that have been questioned in some way – either if there is no record of the voter, the person's voting status has been challenged, or there was an error in the registration process.
"There are provisional ballots out there," she said. "But it wouldn't be anywhere near those figures [needed to tie the race]. If we got 100 provisionals I'd be shocked."
Zinke has two options, and he hasn't ruled out either one. He can ask for a discovery recount, which is fairly standard practice, Schultz said. It examines a sampling of precincts to see if there is anything that could potentially lead to a change in results.
Less common is a court-ordered full recount, which is the only way to change the outcome of the election.
Prim now will likely face a general election challenge by Woodstock-based labor attorney Jim Harrison, who debunked speculation that he would drop out.
"I hate to crush the Bill Prim campaign's hopes. I'm not dropping out," he said. "It wouldn't matter which [candidate] won. I'm in."
Harrison, 56, of Johnsburg, said Tuesday's split vote signifies that voters want change, but also point to a fractured Republican Party.
"Certainly this is once instance where nearly as many voters supported one candidate or the other," he said. "I'm not sure the Republican Party is at a consensus yet, although they've certainly picked a candidate."
State Democrats had few choices on Tuesday's ballots. According to McHenry County returns that do not include early votes, 3,314 voters pulled a Democratic ballot. That could mean either Democrats crossed party lines, or simply didn't show up.
Schultz said voter turnout was just below 17 percent.
Harrison on Monday can begin collecting the more than 6,000 signatures he needs to be on the November ballot as an independent candidate. Prim and Zinke each needed 517 signatures.

Qt 4 Application and UI Framework for eCS (OS/2)
Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(toolkit).) Availability for eCS means being able to port a large number of existing applications.
A few years ago netlabs.org hired Dmitriy Kuminov (aka dmik) to port version 3 of the toolkit to the eCS (OS/2) platform. This port is working well and made it possible to port many applications to our platform.
Some time ago Qt 4 got introduced. New Qt applications use this version of the toolkit, of course, but also more and more existing Qt 3 applications have been making the switch. To make sure we can port those applications again, we have to invest some more work into the eCS (OS/2) port, as Qt 4 redid a lot of things from scratch. Dmitriy offered us to work on the port again. Our goal would be to hire him for about 5 months, but we cannot do that ourself without help from the community.
We do have some money in the queue but it's not enough yet. If you would like to contribute to this port, you are welcome to buy a sponsoring unit for that at Mensys. 100% of that money will be transferred to netlabs.org.
The Mensys sponsor link is: http://www.mensys.com/shop/NetlabsQT4
The current donation meter is available at: http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4/wiki/WikiStart/sponsoring
Current Status
As of the 5th of February, 2010, the Qt framework version 4 for OS/2 is generally available! This means that the major parts of the Qt toolkit have been ported to OS/2 which makes dozens of Qt 4 applications potentially available to the OS/2 platform. Qt 4 for OS/2 is distributed in a convenient way using WarpIn? packages which makes it very easy to install and use it. These packages are maintained by netlabs.org and provide a so-called official build of the Qt 4 toolkit which ensures that all Qt applications use the same set of Qt 4 runtime libraries to save system resources and improve general stability. Below you will find download links to the available packages along with their descriptions.
You may find more detailed information about the project progress and future plans on the Roadmap page.
If you are an end-user, there already are some applications available for testing.
Latest Version
The latest version is 4.7.3 released on 15.09.2011. This release brings the new functionality provided by the major Qt 4.7 update from Nokia and fixes a number of bugs. This release also includes the QtDeclarative library and the awesome QML framework.
The more detailed list of changes can be found in the CHANGES.OS2 file.
Starting from version 4.7.3, the primary way to distribute and install official binary builds of Qt for OS/2 is RPM. This means that all Qt components are provided as RPM packages which may be installed from either the netlabs RPM repositories using the YUM command or directly using the RPM command (the GUI frontend is on the way). In order to install RPM packages on your machine, you need to install the RPM bootstrap package (once) which contains the RPM installer. The installation of RPM is described here in detail. Once you have RPM installed, you may issue one of following commands to install various parts of Qt:
|yum install libqt4
|Installs the basic Qt4 runtime needed for console Qt applications
|yum install libqt4-gui
|Installs the Qt4 GUI runtime needed for Qt GUI applications
|yum install qt4-demos
|Installs the Qt Demo application that demonstrates various Qt features
|yum install qt4-devel-kit
|Installs the complete Qt development environment for compiling Qt applications from sources
Note that the first two commands are not normally needed -- if you install a Qt application from the RPM repository, it will install all required Qt runtime variants automatically. These commands are only necessary if you have a Qt application distributed as a ZIP archive.
Please note that you must remove all previous non-RPM installations of Qt, including the WarpIn ones, before installing any Qt RPM package! Otherwise, the new RPM installation may be incorrect or even fail.
If you accidentally forget to de-install the Qt WarpIn packages before installing one of the the Qt RPMs, then you will definitely get a broken RPM installation because the libqt4 package containing the core DLLs will fail to install (it will give you the corresponding message but it may scroll up before you can read it if you install something big like qt4-devel-kit). In order to recover from such a failure, do the following:
- Remove all incorrectly installed Qt RPM packages:
yum remove '*qt4*'
- De-install Qt 4 WPI packages with WarpIn.
- Install the desired RPM package with yum again.
We also provide two ZIP packages of the Qt toolkit for your convenience, if for some reason you cannot use RPM. They are described below.
This is a list of prerequisites for the Qt ZIP packages. Note that if you use the RPM packages, these prerequisites, except eCUPS and xsystray, will be installed automatically. eCUPS and xsystray are not in RPM repositories yet so you will need to install them from WPI in either case.
|GCC 4 Core Libraries
|GCC 4 runtime libraries needed for all Qt 4 installations (required).
|xsystray widget
|Extended system tray widget for xCenter/eCenter for system tray support In Qt (optional).
|eCUPS Installer
|eCUPS support necessary for printing to work in Qt 4 applications (optional).
|OpenSSL Runtime
|Contains OpenSSL DLLs necessary for OpenSSL support and for MySQL/PostgresSQL plugins to operate (optional).
Qt 4 ZIP Packages
|Qt Runtime Libraries and Plugins
|Qt 4 runtime necessary to run Qt 4 applications.
|Qt Development Libraries and Tools
|Qt 4 development environment necessary compile applications created using the Qt4 framework. Requires the Qt Runtime Libraries and Plugins package.
|Full Qt Source Code
|Take this if you want to build the Qt library yourself (recommended as the development environment if you regularly develop or port Qt applications).
The full Qt source code can be downloaded from the SVN repository. In order to do so you need to download and install the subversion client for eCS (OS/2) and issue the following command (<local_directory> is a directory where you want to save the sources to):
svn export http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/qt4/tags/4.7.3 <local_directory>
Alternatively, if you want to play with the latest development version, you can check out the development trunk from the SVN repository using the following command:
svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/qt4/trunk <local_directory>
The required tools and build instructions are described in the README.OS2 file.
The older downloads are available here.
Reporting Bugs
Reporting bugs and requesting new features is done through the ticket system. You can view existing tickets, add comments to them and create new tickets using the corresponding buttons at the top of every page. If you want to submit a new bug or request a feature, please use the Search function first to make sure there is no ticket for this task already created.
We review the tickets regulary and leave comments if we need more info. So please revisit the Feedback analysis as often as possible. If we leave comment and don't get feedback from the ticket creator, we will close the ticket after some weeks.
Anonymous access to the ticket system has been restricted due to multiple attacks of stupid spammers we've been suffering from lately. In order to create a new ticket or comment the existing one, you need to login with your Netlabs login id. If you do not have a login id, you can request one at http://www.netlabs.org/en/site/member/member.xml. We are sorry for inconvenience, but at the present time this is the only way to avoid extremely annoying spam.

Project discussion is done through mailing list conversations. Currently, the following mailing lists are available:
qt-user()netlabs.org[http://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.qt.user read online
This mailing list is intended to discuss the usage of the eCS (OS/2) version of the Qt Toolkit for creating or porting applications. Announces of new releases are also posted to this list.
