Joan and Jim have another great visit as they cover the Kiplinger Letter. This installment is about biotechnology and how it affects us, including medical advances, such as gene therapy, vaccines, etc. Other topics they discuss include banking issues, new electronic capability, OPEC production policies, pet health insurance (no kidding), among other things.
Jim and Joan talk about the most recent Kiplinger Letter, including how workplace changes are affecting employment law, including the advent of email. They discuss some of the various issues email introduces to the workplace, including harassment, "cyber-stalking, etc., and how your company can protect itself from liability exposure. They also talk about other technology issues, such as how resume scanning can create labor law infractions. Later they discuss a number of other labor issues, such as benefits for part-timers.
Joan talks with Jim about national and world economic issues in the fall of 1999, and Jim gets on his soapbox again about raising minimum wage. They move on to talk about how the government changes the way it calculates Gross Domestic Product by including the value of software and other similar assets. They also discuss electronic stock trading, and wrap up with a discussion of healthcare issues.
Joan joins Jim to talk about a number of issues, including the "alleged" federal budget surplus. They move on to talk about a bill in Congress that allows satellite TV broadcasters to be able to carry local stations. Jim gets on his soap box about a proposed minimum wage hike. Another topic of discussion is bankruptcy trends, and what Congress is working on to change bankruptcy laws. Joan reports that Kiplinger predicts the Internet will be a big player in Campaign 2000, including what that will look like.
Joan and Jim review the most recent Kiplinger Letter, beginning with Merger Mania and how that affects small business, including how to benefit from all of the consolidation, instead of being harmed. They move on to talk about other topics including on-line opportunities to purchase cars that are in the works. They also talk about import/export issues related to the exchange relationship between the dollar and the Japanese Yen. Another topic they discuss is new developments in drugs that will help Alzheimer's patients. Finally, they discuss spam, and a little bit about politics.
Joan is a weekly guest on the show, and she and Jim cover the most recent Kiplinger Washington Letter. In this interview, Jim and Joan spend most of the visit discussing telecommunications issues, plus a little bit on the stock market, and other topics.
Gary was our regular Kiplinger correspondent in 1998, and he and Jim were joined by Mr. Kiplinger, the son of the founder, on his 80th birthday, and near the 75th anniversary of the Kiplinger Washington Letter. This was a very special interview as Mr. Kiplinger shared some of his thoughts on the 20th Century marketplace, politics, and the world in general. This is definitely a classic. Don't miss it.

We asked for a super-simple Halloween art activity from the owners of Treehouse, the coolest new store in Honolulu.
Photos: Bobby Asato
Halloween is upon us, and to get into the spooky spirit, we asked for a super-simple children's art activity from the owners of Treehouse, the coolest new art store in Honolulu (more on them in a bit).
This couldn't be easier: all you need is Melissa & Doug Neon Mini Scratch Notes ($1.75 for 8 cards, available at Treehouse). Have your kiddo use the wooden stylus to scratch off the top layer, revealing neon colors underneath. The possibilities are endless, and all that's needed is a wooden stick and imagination. No scissors, no glue, no glitter, no mess. Now, THIS is my kind of craft!
Here's Marlie's clever creation:
But those who are more artistically inclined than me (which is, oh, everyone) will want to visit Treehouse, described as "a creative shop for kids and adults." I heard about it from this Lei Chic story, and knew instantly my kids would love it.
We stopped in recently and I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by the owners and their family, parents Melissa and Bobby Asato, and their adorable kids Ocean and Marlie, ages 11 and 7. Bobby, a graphic designer, explained they opened the store in hopes of promoting hands-on creative arts in the community. (They've got children's art workshops in the making, so stay tuned.)
The small store is stocked with arts and crafts galore—far too many to list here—and my kids begged for practically everything. There's even a table full of toys and drawing supplies that kept them occupied while I browsed. Ocean and Marlie were so sweet and helpful, showing me their favorites and helping me pick the best items. My son got a set of dinosaur stamps, and my daughter came home with a color-by-numbers book, which she adores, and keeps her busy in the car during our long morning commute.
Along with art supplies, Treehouse also carries cool graphic t-shirts for kids and adults, art books, photography items and more. Now I know where I'll be getting my holiday gifts, with a bonus of the feel-good factor of supporting a small, local business and the fun family behind it.
Treehouse, 250 Ward Ave., Suite 233. For hours, directions and more info call 597-TREE or visit www.treehouse-shop.com.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is not fair if your kid have been suspended for anything they will not allow you to enroll your child . What is this all about . It say school of choice I say not even a mile away in saint clair shores I would not recommend this school to anyone.middle school jefferson
to crowded and not enough help and teachers were not helpful and were not fair about tests and homework did not prepare the kids for college
Best choice for educating your child in the area. Many parents from South Lake, East Detroit, and Roseville choose to send their kids to Lakeview. I believe the school does a good job of preparing students for college.
Honestly, I am not sure where this school rates on diversity based upon my experience thus far with my child's 1-st semester at the school. My child has had some issues from some of the teaching staff- comments have been made toward my child that have be offensive. I really hope/pray the school does a better job incorporationg diversity training with their teachers/staff in order to deal fairly with students of all nationalities.
They are continually trying to improve their teaching habits and have several groups/clubs the kids can get involved in.
I have a freshman going to this school and she loves it here. With of course the exception of a coupls of teacher. She plays every sport that is offered to her unless they overlap and I think the school spirit is awesome.
i am a senior at lakeview high school and i think that the education at the school is unacceptable,the sports are just as bad we have low school spirit, they are trying to make our school look nicer but they waste the loans that we got on things that we do not need like cameras i think we need to put more of that money into getting new books redoing class rooms and getting more things for music and art... there are more kids dropping out or not graduating because they didnt get the proper education from this school so if you want your kids to have a good education do not send them to lakeview high school or any of the st. clair shores schools,
This school is arguably the top 17 worst schools in America. They had four good teachers, that's right, four. Unfortunately, five of them were laid off. The sporting teams, enough said. But on the real, we need a complete staff makeover outside of a handful of teachers; two in particular being Mr. David Oster and Mr. Bill Jones.
I love this school. I have 2 kids attending Lakeview high and I think Scott kaplan is a awesome Principal there. The Lunch Moms and all the people that help out during breakfast and lunch times arw awesome and I likie the fact that they have a Mom watching the kids in the parking lot.They just need to figure out a way when we drop the kids off in the morning in front of the school so it is a safe passage for everyone involved.That need to be worked on before someone gets hurt or killed crossing the area or being dropped off or when the parents are dropping the kids off they are double parking and blocking other people from trying to make an exit. But i do like the principals and all the help in the cafeteria and the parking lot .

Brands must believe the f-commerce hype
The opportunity Facebook commerce offers brands is currently worth many billions of pounds and it is likely to grow in value.
We live in an instant gratification society. Everything has to be now, now, now. When we search for something we need instant results; when we talk to someone we want a response straight away; and when we want to shop we need the store to be available to us at all times.
Now there is something that marketers need to know about immediately: f-commerce. This phenomenon, also known as Facebook commerce or social shopping, is likely to reach a value of $30bn by 2015, according to Booz & Company.
F-commerce takes our instant gratification needs to the next level. Rather than Facebook being a place to chat, share photos or stalk ex-partners, it becomes a mini-internet in its own right. You can get everything you need without ever leaving the social network where you are spending your leisure time.
Want to watch a film online? You can now rent Warner movies, like The Dark Knight, through Facebook. If you fancy a new outfit, simply head to ASOS' Facebook store. Even Heinz is in on the act, flogging a new ketchup variant to social networkers before they hit supermarket shelves.
But shouldn't brands concentrate on driving any interested customers to their own websites, where they have their retail environment set up already? With all the hype about the social networking area, it is easy to dismiss a new buzz phrase like f-commerce as another unnecessary distraction from the real business of selling stuff.
But f-commerce is one of the most exciting opportunities for marketers that we are likely to see in 2011. Just look at the numbers. Facebook has more than 600 million users worldwide and 30 million in the UK - half the British population. That is an enormous audience all in one place. There is no high street on earth that offers that many people ready to walk into your store.
It's not just the size of the audience that should thrill marketers either. It is the nature of the audience. When consumers transact with brands through a Facebook store, the companies have access to a mine of data about that shopper. Privacy settings may mean that a brand can't see everything that someone has ever posted on Facebook, but people reveal so much about themselves on a social network that marketers should still be able to build up an unrivalled picture of consumer attitudes, interests and propensity to buy.
Facebook also offers marketers the chance to get close to consumers who are passionate about their products. After all, if a consumer "likes" your brand's page or store, they are far more likely to buy something from you. You are selling to people who want what you have to offer.
This audience is also one that is used to recommending something they like. The very nature of chat on a social network means that people discuss the latest films, clothes, drinks and events. And they want to tell other people their views. So when you rent The Dark Knight film on Facebook, you are likely to post your feelings about it after you have seen it. Or be keen to watch the movie because all your friends are chatting about it. Word gets around.
F-commerce also gives brands the chance to make concrete links between the "likes" that a brand can amass on Facebook and the company's bottom line. At the moment, marketers are forced to show their impact in the social space through what many finance directors consider to be "fluffy" metrics. So 3 million people "like" your brand page? But does that mean anyone actually bought the brand as a result of seeing it on Facebook?
F-commerce means that marketers can finally track how any positive affection for the brand has translated into sales. Rather than fobbing the finance director off with talk of how everyone is getting social, marketers should now be able to show the exact path their Facebook consumers took from affection to purchase. This will also help inform future marketing campaigns.
Of course, marketers shouldn't pile into Facebook just because they see Heinz or Warner appearing there. The social space and the mini-internet of Facebook is slightly different from the larger internet as a whole. People go there to build relationships. Facebook wasn't set up as a shopping platform, it's designed to connect people.
Many people don't want to come across brands at all on a social platform. They simply want to chat to friends and go about their own business. If they feel like the space is becoming overly commercial, they might lose interest in the network altogether. And they are likely to take away with them a negative view of the brand that stepped over the line.
Yet if marketers get it right, f-commerce could be a powerful tool. It might be important to do it properly, but it certainly isn't just hype. According to agency SortPrice, which builds Facebook retail storefronts for brands, it alone has already constructed 1500 stores for clients, which translates into 7.6 million products - or $3.78bn in merchandise - on the site in 2010. Thousands of brands already "like" f-commerce, what about you?
Readers' comments (10)
Isn't this just more hype? Brands must believe the hype, because the hype tells them to.
This article lacks balance.
Could it be that this new channel to market simply dilutes the existing level of sales and spreads it through more channels?
Is it more suitable for 'trials' or 'sampling' as it may well lend itself to this more suitably?
When looking at a new sales outlet, a major question should be to what extent it will impact existing outlets with the necessary cost implications this has. The article doesn't touch on any of this and is very basic in nature to say the least. Not well balanced and lacking in serious consideration. More of a 'knee jerk reaction'.
Technology will soon allow you to understand you have 20000 clients in your facebook network who have just announced their engagement that week. You will be able to drive viral marketing in way not currently possible through this channel. There are apps on facebook generating multi millions of hits per week. The economics in F-Commerce will change the game for those who adopt it.
This is merely a new sales channel. The question it does pose well is what will be the sales channels of the future i.e as we see more and more consumer goods move into the online arena will there be a traditional retail front?
It does provide a contradiction though. The article begins with a proposition that the consumer seeks instant gratification, however, online merely provides part of the gratification process. This is not fulfilled under the goods arrive, which in most cases can be easier and quicker to satisfy through traditional retail shopping. What facebook does provide is a way to seek peer approval and gratification that your purchase may provide through 'sharing' your purchase. This then allows for peers to comment accordingly.
In my opinion, this is a dilution of the host brand, namely Facebook. This was established as a social platform to share thoughts and ideas and now is extending its model into a commercial market to become a shopping portal. I am unsure what consumers will make of the 'shop' platform, however, I for one prefer to maintain my connection with a brand directly rather than via a third party.
A thought for user perception of security on Facebook - US banks have begun allowing users to view account data via their Facebook page.
While we're happy with e-commerce via Facebook, will UK users go further and adopt banking apps? The industry leading First Direct (HSBC Group), Natwest and LloydsTSB have all upped their game of late and are obvious candidates to experiment. But would you feel comfortable 'f-banking'?
Whilst this might sound lovely for brands, what's the experience us lowly users want to have with FB going to be like? I go on the site to catch up with friends and an abundance of commercialisation is likely to drive people away.
The cynic in me thinks this is a ploy to drive perceived value up for when they IPO knowing that in 4-5yrs it might well implode!
Yes, many users may be put off and feel that fb has lost it's purpose, also, it may not be right for every product/service/brand - each product and market will demand a different sales model. But if it is right, then the advantages in terms of data mining, level of consumer engagement, reach and 'likes' that can potentially translate into (measurable) sales are unquestionable.
In my view, it's still early days and the scepticism surrounding this new model is well founded, but F-commerce is definitely beyond hype now. As one of the comments above, it is, like it or not, yet another sales channel which social media-savvy marketers will now at least need to consider when planning a well integrated campaign.
Yes it's definitely beyond hype now.
We've just changed our business model to focus on it. But I think for retailers and fashion brands it opens doors they have only dreamed of up to now. Think about knowing that a customer has just been dumped (relationship status permission update) and being able to send her a discount on a new dress and on and on. This is marketing gold dust it's like ecommerce meets AI...
Facebook Commerce, as it is might not seem like it is going to be huge, but in the long-term as Aps improve and facebook improves it's integration I think it will be a key driver for the future. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MlW1djomZQ
Hmm, as online marketers and merchants we need to present our products in an appealing way at the right time to the relevant audience... and if they like it they will actually buy it? Interesting :-)

Thing 5 in the 23 Things for Research course on social media asks us to explore each other's blogs. I enjoyed this introduction to the wide variety of participants and began to follow a few. In doing so, I found myself reflecting on what, in my opinion, makes a good blog.
Why Do I Follow a Blog?
I posted a criticism earlier that "some blogs have no point". My friend Meagan asked whether they really needed one. An existential question, to be sure. My answer is this: someone doesn't need to have a point to write a blog, but a blog needs to have a point for me to read it.
What do I mean by that? What qualities do the blogs that I follow share?
1. The blog's content is interesting and insightful. Some blogs I follow out of professional or educational interest; Balliol Archivist and Monasticism in 100 Manuscripts sparked my curiosity as a former student of history. Others I follow to live vicariously; I am fascinated by #bodathon's project to visit all of the Bodleian libraries.
2. The blog content is mostly on-topic. I start following a blog based on my interest in the author's insights on a specific subject. I lose interest if the material deviates frequently from the subject attracted me to the blog in the first place.
3. The blog is well-written. I prefer writing that is considered, organized and grammatically correct. I was never a fan of stream of consciousness, so posts that ramble or perhaps weren't edited don't hold my attention.
Why Would Anyone Follow Amy's Inkwell?
Frankly, I don't know. I don't believe that I would follow a blog like mine right now. How horrid is that?
My blog doesn't have a central theme; my content is all over the map. At best, I can say that my subjects and verbs agree most of the time.
What Should I Do About It?
I should write considering an audience with criteria such as my own.
1. I should pick a cornerstone subject for Amy's Inkwell and focus on posts that build on that foundation.
2. I should limit off-topic posts in the future and curate the existing posts as not to obscure the content that a reader might expect from Amy's Inkwell.
3. I should always edit my posts. Amy's Inkwell may be an informal pet project, but I want to represent my thoughts to the best of my ability and to be proud of the content that I've sent out into cyberspace.
It's clear to me that if Amy's Inkwell is to have a purpose online, I need to make these changes. Otherwise, maybe I should just pull out my diary and write for an audience of one.

Big Spring High School girls' track coach Nick Roberson believes a window of opportunity is opening for his team.
The Lady Steers will send 10 athletes to the Region I-3A track meet, which starts Monday in Lubbock, and Roberson believes that large number is but a harbinger of things to come for the program.
Seniors Desiree Anderson and Chanvel Cuviello, juniors April Turner, Cerbi Ritchey and Bridgette Tuitt, sophomores Bianca Ryle and Jaycee Williams and freshmen Morgan Seaton, Donisha McGree and Dyrshae Vandervilt will represent BSHS at the regional meet.
This isn't the first year that Roberson has had talented athletes in his program, but he's never had this much quality at these kind of numbers.
ŌĆ£The biggest difference from last year is our depth,ŌĆØ Roberson said. ŌĆ£We didn't lose any girls off that team, and we've had some good young girls come in and contribute.ŌĆØ
The Lady Steers narrowly missed a team title at the District 5-3A meet earlier this month, but Roberson believes they will be in the mix for the regional championship.
ŌĆ£We know there will be some strong teams there, but we feel we're in the hunt for the regional title,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Both of our relays are undefeated this year, both of them broke school records and both are among the top times in the state in Class 3A.ŌĆØ
One of the reasons behind the team's success is a family-type atmosphere, Anderson said.
ŌĆ£I honestly think we have even better chemistry than we had last year,ŌĆØ said the senior, who will compete in both relays, the long jump, triple jump and 100-meter dash. ŌĆ£We push each other all the time, but we also help each other, too.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£It's like a sister thing,ŌĆØ Tuitt added. ŌĆ£A lot of us run the same events, so we compete with each other a lot and help each out.ŌĆØ
Roberson said the combination of talent and team chemistry has made for a memorable group of athletes.
ŌĆ£This is definitely a special group of girls,ŌĆØ he siad. ŌĆ£I don't know that if I'll ever have the same kind of group again. It's something you just don't find every day. And the nice part? They want to win just as bad as I do.ŌĆØView more articles in:

5 Places To Donate Extra Crafting Supplies
It's happened to the best of us, we get excited over a new craft and wind up with too much fabric or bits and buttons. Instead of squirreling away your resources only to donate them 10 years later, why not give them a good home now? Here are 5 places to do just that.
1. Before & After School Programs: Although most art programs have a built in budget, many before and after school day care programs run on a slightly tighter ship. They'll be able to make something from nothing and put anything you have to good use!
2. Church Groups: Many church groups help take care of kids several nights out of the week. Their budgets are almost non-existent and many establishments serve as afterschool hangouts for kids before parents get home. They're always looking for supplies to make great projects.
3. Half Way Homes or Foster Families: Many shelters or homes for families trying to make it back on their feet are run by mostly volunteers with very little money to spend. Often children will spend their nights there while parents are working two or three jobs and crafting supplies will be well loved and forever cherished.
4. City Recreation Centers: Your local gym or rec center often have an area designated for arts and crafts. They'd likely love a back stock of coffee cans or egg cartons from which they could make something substantial to keep the children's attention.
5. Libraries: Many libraries can have a children's craft time in addition to your basic story telling. Quite often they'll color or make cut outs of beloved book characters, so keep them in mind when it comes to glue, scissors, construction paper and more!
Do you have another great place to add to our list? Let us know in the comments below!

Don't forget museums! Your local small museum would likely be very excited to take craft supplies for children's programs.
Please consider your local hospital! I work at a hospital, and both children and adults can benefit from the distraction, sense of accomplishment, and ability to express themselves that come from crafting. Contact the volunteer services department or, if the hospital has one, the Child Life department.
Until 10/1/2010, check out Iraqi Bundles of Love. It is a way to send your excess sewing/knitting supplies, fabric, and yarn to women in need in Iraq. They have great difficulty obtaining these items. Run by a member of the US military who was deployed there. Check out his blog for more info:
Try a senior center or eldery assistant living place or nurisng home. Many of these have craft programs.
Extra yarn and fabric can be turned into blankets and donated to an animal shelter or rescue. Hugs For Homeless Animal's Snuggle Project accepts homemade blanket donations (knitted, sewn, crocheted, etc). Small fabric scraps can be easily made into pillow-shaped cat toys and donated to a shelter or rescue.
CHILDCARE!! Centers, homes, nannies....
As a former art teacher, I can tell you that I *never* turned away donations of craft supplies. My budget was often quite pathetic - a dollar per child for the entire school year. Many schools don't even get that much.
If you look hard you can find grateful homes for very unconventional supplies too - I had bags and bags of teeny tiny pinecones left over from decorating my wedding. I couldn't just throw them away after all the hours I spent gathering the things in the woods! Finally my mom solved the dilemma by packing them in boxes with a bunch of cheap glue and glitter we bought and then took the whole thing over to the Battered Womans shelter the week before Christmas. We got so many teary thanks afterwards because it meant so much to all the women and children there to get to make their own ornaments and have a tiny pretty bit of happiness to replace all the lost ornaments and bits of christmas that they had to leave behind.
Soo I guess the moral is - if you can afford it, don't be afraid to throw in $5 worth of extra supplies to make sure people can really use and enjoy the extra supplies you can give away! :)
You can also call your local girl scout council and see if they have a need. A lot of them have outreach programs for girls who don't have a lot of money, and subsequently, not a lot of crafty supplies.

Image my surprise when I turned on the switch and it worked perfectly, in fact I'm still using the same batteries I found it with after 2 more wreck dives. It's now my primary light. Its relatively lightweight for a primary and the battery life is good. The illumination is not bad given the size/weight of the light. Its very waterproof and has an excellent switch design.

Double-Duty Delivery: One Mother's Story
During my thirty-second week, I began having contractions and was one centimeter dilated. I was placed on bed rest and given terbutaline to stop my labor. Bed rest meant quitting my job and all exercise. Although my mind knew this was best for the babies and for myself, my body ached to move. I found some low-impact stretching exercises in books that were deemed safe for women on bed rest and began doing them daily. These exercises, coupled with a wonderfully relaxing prenatal massage, helped me make it through the remaining weeks.
Finally, at 38 weeks, I was admitted to the hospital for induction. During the previous week, I suffered severe upper abdominal pain, a symptom of a severe form of preeclampsia called HELLP syndrome or hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count. Throughout my labor, I was treated with magnesium sulfate to prevent seizures and with steroids to improve my blood-platelet count and liver function.
Labor and Twins
After nine hours of labor, our son Chance was born vaginally. Due to a prolapsed cord, his twin brother, Campbell, was delivered via emergency C-section. The boys each weighed five pounds, three ounces and were healthy.
I am convinced that a healthy attitude and lifestyle helped me carry my twins to term, as well as aided in a speedy recovery from HELLP syndrome and both types of deliveries.
Twin Tips
What can you do to best care for yourself and increase your chances of a safe and successful double-duty delivery? Try these tips:
- Keep your medical appointments. Visiting your healthcare provider for regular monitoring can help reduce the risks associated with having twins.
- Pamper yourself. A prenatal massage is well worth the money and helps you stay calm and grounded. It's also important to take breaks during your day and get plenty of sleep at night. Your body is working extra hard to grow that extra baby.
- Join a twins organization. You'll have access to resources regarding multiple pregnancies, connect with other mothers of multiples, and have first dibs at great sales.
- If on bed rest, do some doctor-approved light exercises and gentle stretches. It will improve your circulation, prevent muscle cramps, and enhance your overall mood.
- Eat a healthy diet, which can lower your babies' risk of having low birth weight.

"Single Focus: Understanding Single Adults" - Book Review
- Wednesday, May 21, 2003
Author: George Barna
Publisher: Regal, from Gospel Light
Too often, married adults lump single adults together into one massive group, missing out on the unique characteristics of each type of single person and misunderstanding how best to relate to them. So renowned research guru George Barna has written a new book to help people understand this booming population group. In "Single Focus: Understanding Single Adults," Barna does what he does best, providing lots of fascinating data from extensive research. He explores different types of singles – "the never-been-married, the divorced, the widowed, single parents and the separated."
All the data that Barna presents is truly interesting, covering topics such as the spiritual beliefs and practices of singles, how they view themselves, and their lifestyles. But after awhile, the data becomes overwhelming because it's not broken up with personal examples of individual single people. And the book's text, which begins with the hope of fascinating reading, grows dry due to the lack of personal examples. Midway through, readers could begin to feel like they're reading a statistical report rather than a book, and that's really a shame, because Barna has included such great information. Why he didn't think to pull some examples of individual people out of his wonderful research is a mystery, but the book suffers greatly because of it.
Barna spends most of the book studying the profiles of single adults. It isn't until the last chapter that he gives practical tips for ministering to singles. But the ones he does give are quite helpful.
Church leaders could benefit the most from this book; they would likely have more patience than laypeople to wade through all the data, and their newfound understandings of single adults could significantly boost their ministries to this important – yet too often overlooked – group of people.

It gets more problematic the deeper one goes...
First of all, it originates (this applies most of all to Western 'classical' music) in the mind and fingers of the composer. Then it is rehearsed at a given location (and most likely the bigger the ensemble, the bigger the location, with the attendant acoustic results). Then it's recorded in a studio or live - in the latter case, one take (leaving aside edits) in one particular acoustic space.
That will obviously depend on the original space and the equipment; this is where things like highly coloured earphones will take the recording away from that original performance.
If I happen to feel a close connection while listening to classical music in my hometown's world-famous Musikvereinssaal (reverberation time 2-3 seconds, a big mess of reflected sound everywhere except for the first few rows), am I in danger of fetishing the equipment?
That question is actually more significant than (feel free to correct me) you perhaps realise - there are people who'd claim you haven't heard Mahler until you've heard it at the Musikverein. One has to examine such claims to find out whether they're simply based on chauvinism and a desperate attempt to defend the superiority of one's local cultural heritage (the latter very much a Viennese malaise, as I'm sure you know) or on concrete musical elements, for example if the reverberation time is factored into the durations chosen by the composer because they're writing for that space. Of course, this then leads into the gigantic tub of worms that is historical authenticity, and we can pick apart the choices of instrument, tempi and and edition as well... Keeping to the point, what I mainly mean is that 'emotion' (not going to deconstruct that just yet) is put into the music by the composer(s) who conceive it and the performers who realise it. I don't think that the means of mechanical reproduction can add any emotion; they can put a new perspective on it, but - to take up an analogy you've used - looking at a picture in sepia doesn't bring you closer to the original picture; it potentially creates a relationship with a new guise of it. I think it's comparable to musical arrangements - orchestrations of piano pieces, for example, or Bach keyboard music on the piano (even if most people wouldn't think of the latter as arrangements).

In the lone college football game pitting two ranked opponents against each other on Saturday, #5 Stanford and #23 Arizona State open their Pac-12 season.
Stanford is coming off a lackluster performance against Army last week — but nonetheless a 34-20 victory – moving them to 2-0 on the season.
"As far as the overall offense and what we want to do, we're more diverse than we've been in years," Stanford head coach David Shaw told ESPN.com. "We want to be able to change personnel groupings and have the diversity to be good in everything that we do. The emphasis is there because we've got the guys to do it."
Arizona State is coming off perhaps the most controversial win of the young college football season. The Sun Devils won 32-30 against perennial Big Ten powerhouse Wisconsin, but it was a flub by the officials that let the clock run out at the end of the game — when the Badgers were in field goal range — that ultimately gave ASU the win.
But, don't tell Sun Devils' head coach Todd Graham that Wisconsin got hosed.
"We just beat the defending Big Ten champion," Graham said. "That's the human element of the game, but at the end of the day, I'm proud of our guys how hard they played. They deserved to win and I truly believe that."
Look for both teams to have added motivation this week. Stanford surely wants to come out strong and prove that they belong among the top tier of college football teams – and Arizona State surely wants to prove that last week was indeed not an aberration, but a showing of quality victories to come.

It's Thursday, which means it's time for another Proud Mommy Moments!
Please make sure that if you're linking up, you're actually linking a Proud or Not-So-Proud Mommy moment (using the permalink. Not sure what a permalink is? Just ask me). Links not related to PMM will be deleted and deleting links makes me feel bad. Please don't make me feel bad.
Buster is a character. Always has been, probably always will be. He's a sweetie pie for sure, but man, you never know what he's going to say or do. As a mom, that can be terrifying. Especially when you venture into public.
Lately, he's been on a roll.
The other night, he pulled the collar of my shirt down and took a peek at my boobs. Without missing a beat, he says, "Mama? Why are your boobs so big?"
Gee, thanks for noticing, kid.
Potty humor is all the rage in our house right now, thanks to Buster. It seems to come in waves. It's normally Buddy who takes the lead, but lately it's Buster.
Just last night, while getting ready for bed, we were in the bathroom. He accidentally (at least I think) ran into me. Well, he's at just the right height where his head hit my butt. He then pipes up, "Mama! Don't stick your butt in my face." Well, that's all it took for Buddy and Buster to dissolve into a fit of giggles. I have to admit, it was pretty hard not to laugh when they were giggling so much for so long.
And since I shared those two "not so proud" moments, I need to share one semi-proud moment.
The other night, the Green Bay/Minnesota game was on TV. When Buster heard the announcers say Minnesota, he said, "It's not Minnesota, it's Tiny-sota." Jdaddy and I thought that was all kinds of clever for a 5 year old and I posted about it on Facebook. However, one of my friends then notified me that it was her favorite line from Rio. Doh. Buster's only watched that movie one hundred billion times. That said, I've been reassured that it's still clever that he remembered it and used it in the right context. I'll take it.
Okay! Now it's your turn. Type out your Proud, or maybe not-so-Proud Mommy Moment and link it up! Don't forget to check out Emmy's Proud Mommy Moment as well! One last thing, PMM isn't just for mom's…anyone can link up!

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) - Frantz Massenat made a go-ahead basket with 2:52 left in the third overtime as the Drexel Dragons squeaked by the Cleveland State Vikings, 85-82, during a non-conference affair at the Daskalakis Athletic Center.
Tavon Allen scored 23 points for the Dragons (5-2). Massenat tallied 21 points and nine assists, followed by Chris Fouch with 17 points and Dartaye Ruffin who had a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds.
Jon Harris led the Vikings (4-4) with 27 points. Bryn Forbes added 23 points, while Trey Lewis chipped in 15 with eight assists, although the latter also turned the ball over seven times.
Drexel shot 44 percent from the field and made 3-of-9 from the 3-point line which was good enough to have a 30-20 lead at the half. The Vikings converted 36 percent from the floor and made only 1-of-9 from beyond the arc in the frame.
CSU shot an astonishing 70 percent on field goal attempts and drained 6-of-8 shots from behind the 3-point line after the break. Drexel struggled shooting 34.8 percent from the floor and making 1-of-7 3-point tries. Lewis made the back-end of a trip to the free-throw line with eight seconds remaining in regulation to tie the game up at 58-58, while Massenat missed a shot as time expired.
With 25 seconds to play in the first overtime, Forbes knocked down a 3-point shot to tie the game at 66-66. Again, Massenat had a chance to win it for the Dragons but he missed a 3-point attempt at the buzzer.
Lewis made two free throws with 1:42 remaining in the second bonus session to put the Vikings up 72-70. Allen made 1-of-2 free-throws with 48 seconds left and Massenat did the same with four seconds remaining to force yet another overtime period.
The Dragons outscored the visitors in the paint, 42-22. and forced the Vikings into 17 turnovers on the night.

Rated 4 out of 5 by nickimc from Great design! I love the color of this lampshade and the way the light shines through it. However, it is difficult to use with a standard lamp because of the design. I already had a lamp base at home I wanted to use. I had to tape the lampshade to the lamp base near the light bulb to ensure that it wouldn't wobble, which is kind of bootleg but less expensive than buying a whole new lamp base.

3 things we learned from Cal's loss to Washington State
1. Phantom injuries The amount of injuries Cal players have sustained this year is unfathomable. You can try to blame outside factors — artificial field turf, the strength and conditioning program, lack of contact in training camp — but realistically, this is simply a case of bad luck. "I don't know what to say about […] [Read More]

Cal falls to Washington State 44-22 in battle of Air Raid offenses
Put Jared Goff in his comfort zone, and good things happen for Cal's offense. Fumble twice inside the opponent's 5-yard line and allow several big plays on defense, however, and even a record-breaking game from the freshman quarterback won't result in a win for head coach Sonny Dykes and the Bears. "This was obviously not […] [Read More]

The Bears meet Portland State on Saturday at Memorial Stadium, and although the Vikings are an FCS team that's 0-11 all-time against Pac-12 schools, Dykes won't […] [Read More]

Here's the Week 2 edition of Mailbag Monday: 1) Chris McCain's hit and suspension Several of you asked about Chris McCain's "targeting" hit and the implications that followed.

Quantitative imaging and analysis in neurons
The ability to observe neural activity at the cellular and subcellular levels provides a window into understanding how the brain develops and functions. In recent years, advances in imaging technology and the development of novel fluorescent probes have made it possible to measure calcium and membrane potential dynamics in neurons with high spatiotemporal resolution. These techniques have been effectively used to study neural circuitry, providing a detailed view of the complex and dynamic processes underlying brain function.
This webinar will showcase how powerful imaging techniques have revolutionized the analysis of neuronal activity and provided fundamental insight not only into normal brain function but also into the disruptions that occur during neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. We hope that you will join us for the chance to hear from two leaders in this field, Rafael Yuste and Arthur Konnerth.

Patriotic music? Check. Balloon drop? Check. Sign-waving delegates? Check. Viewer interest in this summer's Republican and Democratic national conventions? Still unclear.
With the parties' quadrennial presidential nominating gatherings fast approaching, organizers on both sides are bedeviled by a similar challenge: how to raise TV viewer interest in the multiday affairs, which threaten to be largely predictable spectacles nearly devoid of suspense.
The conventions were a ratings hit in 2008, when Democrat Barack Obama became the first black presidential nominee for a major party and Sarah Palin made her national debut as Republican John McCain's running mate. This year's gatherings promise fewer gee-whiz moments, with both party's nominees long settled and polls showing public confidence in politics and government at a record low.
Republicans are set to meet for four days in Tampa, Fla., beginning Monday to confer their party's nomination on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. Despite all the detailed planning, there could be a surprise twist: Weather forecasters say Tropical Storm Isaac poses a possible threat to Florida as the GOP gathers there.
The Democrats will convene Sept. 3-6 in Charlotte, N.C., in hopes of giving Obama another term. After a Labor Day celebration that Monday, the convention will begin officially Tuesday.
Party activists and political junkies are the built-in audience for both conventions, which typically receive wall-to-wall airtime on cable news stations and about an hour of prime time each night on the broadcast networks. But reaching viewers who are less politically attuned — while, more importantly, influencing how they vote in the presidential contest — presents both a puzzle and an opportunity for organizers.
"Conventions are the first time many voters pay attention, so they play a useful role in getting people thinking about the general election," said Costas Panagopoulos, a political science professor at Fordham University and a scholar of party conventions. "They offer the opportunity to present the nominees in the most human and likable format possible. It's a unique opportunity for the parties to do that before a national audience."
Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn said his city was preparing for an event that would bring unprecedented attention.
"We're a city that has hosted four Super Bowls, but hosting a major international political event is the biggest thing we've ever undertaken by a long stretch," Buckhorn said in an interview.
Recent conventions have had their share of memorable moments, from Palin's red-meat speech in 2008 to Obama's similarly star-making appearance at the Democratic conclave in 2004. The 2000 Democratic nominee, Al Gore, gave audiences an eyeful when he grabbed his wife, Tipper, for a lengthy kiss on the convention stage.
Romney's running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, will enjoy his widest national exposure yet in Tampa. But it's still a far cry from the suspense generated at conventions in the past, where parties actually selected their nominees.
For that kind of drama, you have to go back to 1980, when President Jimmy Carter fought back a serious challenge from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy at the Democratic convention in New York. Kennedy pressed for a vote releasing delegates from their commitment to Carter — a nail-biting exercise that played out on national TV.
These days, lacking that element of surprise, the parties use their conventions primarily to frame their nominees in a positive light and establish a deeper connection with voters.
"You can create spectacle with fireworks, sets or fancy music. But what you hope viewers take away is emotion," said Don Mischer, who produced the 2004 Democratic convention in Boston. "Emotion is what grabs people and makes it memorable. It also keeps them from flipping away."
In Tampa and Charlotte this year, organizers promise their conventions will offer both compelling pictures and a sophisticated interactive experience suited for the social media age. They're also trading jibes over what to expect from the respective gatherings.
Republican convention spokesman James Davis said viewers weary of the limping economy will be eager to tune into the GOP gathering.
"People are as engaged as they have ever been in politics right now because of the devastation they are feeling across the country. It's breathing new life and excitement into our convention," Davis said. "In Charlotte, you have an incumbent with a track record. Tampa offers something fresh and something new and a vision for moving forward."
Democratic convention spokeswoman Kristie Greco said the Charlotte gathering offered a more user-friendly experience than Republicans are promising — from first lady Michelle Obama's email to supporters in 2010 announcing the convention's location, to a family-oriented picnic the night before the convention starts for anyone who wants to participate.
"In the past, the goal was to get the message out through key voices in prime time. That's the formula Republicans are following today," Greco said. "For us, the experience has evolved from broadcasting a message to engaging people in a conversation. It's not good enough anymore to make a statement from a podium."
Both sides are promising a robust online presence, including Facebook and Twitter pages and streaming video designed for smartphones and other digital devices. "People don't watch TV the way they did even four years ago," Greco said.
But ultimately, experts say, the conventions will be successful if the nominees can leave viewers with an enduring positive message, both through pictures and words.
"Obama needs to convey a more active sense that he's a leader and that he's strong. The political convention is not a time to take shots at Bain Capital," Mischer said, referring to the private equity firm Romney once headed. "Romney needs to get more specific about how he would implement his vision. And he needs three or four catchphrases people can latch onto."

3 Responses to "Mission impossible? Turning a political convention into exciting TV"
These conventions are very exciting to me. I have attended several and love the comments made by others who are not in front of a camera. I was born and indoctrinated as a Fiscal Republican nearly 80 ago and I had to pay close attention to the inner changes from those early days to the elections following WW2. Korea and Vietnam really screwed up the two parties as no one in charge of either party could tell the truth about what was happening in D.C.
Over the years I've wandered all over the third parties searching for some semblance of the GOP. It began to settle into the truth with two Bush Presidents. Neither of these men understood what had been so attractive about the GOP since the end of the Civil War.
It was so simple that American Values came from individual freedoms. Over the years the voters stood up against the controlled legislation against women and minorities and instead added a demand for religious legislation.
I have attended several conventions with the last one seeing the Texas Delegation storming out when Jim Kolby (Congressman from Texas) and a strong Republican, spoke. Jim was gay and when I saw this demonstration I knew my last vote for any Republican had been cast at that Primary.
From that terrible day, the GOP got only worse. Now I watch these RNC conventions to see how much further these terrible people will go to destroy not my Party but my Nation,.
They might abandon the whole thing for HARP and bad weather. No?
It was just announced by Marsha Blackburn that the Platform will be announced on Monday that there will be a new section during the Convention of announcing an Amendment to the Constitution banning all forms of Abortion without exception.
This explains why this new way of discussing abortions was brought by Paul Ryan using a new approach to abortion. This nonsense that the platform is normally ignored is a flat lie. These Republicans are determined to take over the House and Senate with pro-lifers no matter what the people want or say.
The intention of pushing this Amendment will be possible when Democrats will not be able to vote. This is last chance the Evangelicals have to force their religion into our Constitution. I was told 8 years ago that I should never claim to have been a Republican because I am not and never have been a Christian. I have no doubt that Romney is up to his ass in this plan. If he backs down he will not be inaugurated.
I saw this coming but Paul Ryan confirmed it with his inability to stand firm on anything.

Tonic neck reflex
A newborn reflex that resembles a fencing position. When your infant's head is turned to the side, one arm will straighten, the opposite arm will bend, and often one knee will significantly bend. You won't see this if your baby is crying and this reaction usually disappears between 5 to 7 months of age. Infants vary in the degree to which this reflex is obvious.

Get off of ther cat u dont belong there
From MSNBC:
Since it was announced last week that Queen Elizabeth II would meet Martin McGuinness, formerly a senior commander in the IRA, there had been intense speculation about how the encounter would play out — and how it would be recorded.
It was only on Wednesday morning that Buckingham Palace confirmed the meeting — or at least a part of it — would be filmed. Cameras were not present for the initial encounter between the Queen and McGuinness, who is now Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister, but a small number of media representatives were allowed to witness their farewells.
…Finally, after an interminable delay, a handful of still images and 23 seconds of video were released to the world.

Luthra goes lockstep, modernises management structure
The five current equity partners will start at the top of the 10-year modified lockstep and most of the new equity partners are set to enter on the bottom or a low rung.
Luthra & Luthra founding partner Rajiv Luthra said: "I had founded the firm and over the years I kept releasing equity. But then we thought it would be more efficient to bring in a new system.
"We've taken a firm view on it - the firm is nice and mature and needs to go to the next level."
As part of the plans Luthra will share management responsibilities with a new executive committee, which in addition to him includes Mumbai office head Mohit Saraf and infrastructure practice group head Sameen Vyas.
Delhi capital markets partner Madhurima Mukherjee has been promoted to head the firm's Bangalore office.
In Delhi, the firm has expanded its office space to accommodate an additional 40 lawyers. In Mumbai and Bangalore, Luthra & Luthra is in the advanced stages of securing new property.
Luthra explained that he wants the firm to double its present capacity in the short term.
Luthra & Luthra has also set up new committees to deal with such areas as knowledge development, professional development, administration and recruitment.
Luthra told Legally India that the lockstep system was drafted after talking to his contacts at international firms. "I went and spent some time with firms like Skaddens, White & Case and Baker & McKenzie to understand what the rest of the world does and I cherry picked."
He added that the system was not yet fully finalised but that it would be slightly modified to the international norms of lockstep, to suit the Indian system.
Between five and six new equity partners will be invited onto the lockstep by the end of this month. The decision to implement the changes were announced in a firm meeting last Monday (8 June).
Luthra & Luthra currently has a total of 26 partners.
Under a lockstep system, equity partners increase their profit share as they become more senior, year by year, at a fixed rate.
Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co rolled out what is understood to be a heavily modified lockstep system at the beginning of this year.
