Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by James Ralston Work magic with all your digital music Cambridge Audio's feature-packed Stream Magic 6 is partly a network music player, giving you instant access to Internet radio stations, online music services, and songs stored on your networked computers and hard drives. But it also moonlights as an amazing standalone DAC that serves up pristine, nuanced sound from just about any digital source you can think of. On the one hand, you get a simple, easy-to-use playback system for your digital music library, complete with a free downloadable control app for your favorite smartphone or tablet. On the other, you get the same sheer audio processing power as found in Cambridge's highly acclaimed DacMagic Plus digital-to-analog converter. That's a combination that's bound to keep high-end stereo lovers happy for a long, long time. Advanced upsampling cleans up every source The Stream Magic 6 upsamples all incoming audio data — whether it's from an Internet radio stream, a lossless FLAC file stored on your network, or a connected component like a CD transport — with its ATF2™ (Advanced Time Filtering) technology. This system performs interpolation and data buffering, and re-clocks the audio signal to almost completely eliminate "jitter" — timing errors in the music signal that can add harshness, compromise clarity and cause instruments and voices to sound less distinct. The upsampled audio signal is then fed through twin Wolfson WM8740 24-bit DACs, for clean, detailed, noise-free sound and outstanding stereo imaging with every source. A free app lets you use your tablet or smartphone to select digital music files or switch audio inputs. Use your iPhone®, iPad®, or Android™ as the controller While the Stream Magic 6 features a large, easy-to-grab control knob on the front for navigating through your music options, you'll have more fun if you get your smartphone or tablet into the act. Cambridge offers a free control app for your favorite Apple or Android device, which integrates all your music choices into a single simple interface. From the music stored on your home network devices, to thousands of Internet radio stations, to streaming services like Rhapsody® and Pandora® Internet radio, this app puts it all at your fingertips. Connect your digital sources for better sound The Stream Magic 6 lets you connect digital source components to your home audio or desktop system, for taking advantage of its excellent audio processing and D-to-A conversion: coaxial digital input: ideal for connecting a CD or DVD player, Logitech Squeezebox™ Touch, Sonos® Connect, or any other digital audio component with coax out optical digital input: ready to take on a set-top box, HDTV, game console, or other digital sources with optical digital output Type B USB jack: feeds digital audio from your computer into the Stream Magic 6's onboard digital-to-analog converter, bypassing your computer's sound card to yield much clearer sound with stored music files Product Highlights:plays music from your computers, networked hard drives, and the Internetsupported streaming music formats: WAV (up to 24-bit/96 kHz), FLAC (up to 24-bit/96 KHz), AIFF, MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, and WMAfree downloadable Stream Magic app lets you use your iPhone, iPad, or Android device as a music controller or full remote for the Stream Magic 6access thousands of Internet radio stations plus digital music services including AUPEO!, Rhapsody, Pandora® Internet radio, MP3 Tunes, Live 365, and moreall input sources are converted to 24-bit/384kHz using Cambridge's advanced ATF2 upsampling technologydual high-performance Wolfson WM8740 24-bit DACsDigital Inputs:coaxial (S/PDIF) input accepts signals up to 24-bit/192kHzoptical (Toslink) input accepts signals up to 24-bit/96kHzasynchronous USB (Type B) input accepts signals up to 24-bit/192kHz from your computer (free USB driver download required for Windows® PCs)front- and rear-panel USB inputs (Type A) for plugging in thumb drives or portable hard drivesNetwork Connections:Ethernet port for wired connection to your network (required for 24-bit files)built-in Wi-Fi® for wireless connection to your home networkaccepts optional BT-100 Bluetooth adapter for wireless audio streaming from a mobile phone, tablet, or computerAudio Outputs:RCA analog stereo outputbalanced XLR analog stereo outputoptical and coaxial digital audio outputs (pass-through)More Highlights:remote controldetachable power cordfrequency response: 20-20,000 Hz (± 0.1dB)signal-to-noise ratio: 112 dB16-15/16"W x 3-7/16"H x 14-9/16"Dwarranty: 3 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee Feast on an endless buffet of music A network music player presents you with virtually unlimited ways to play your favorites or discover new music.

Like so many audiophiles, I am gradually ripping my CD collection. I therefore badly needed a device that would enable me to source the resulting lossless AIFF files from various storage devices around my house and play them in superb quality in my basement music room. The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 has most definitely exceeded my expectations. Above all, it sounds fantastic, whether streaming losselessly or using the USB port. Better than any high end CD player I've owned from a wide range of renowned manufacturers. Prior to this purchase, I regarded Cambridge Audio as a strictly budget brand, but reviews of the SM6, and other CA components, suggested otherwise and I can only conclude what excellent value for money it is, in sonic terms alone. Cambridge is clearly a company that has very successfully transitioned into a brand that offers exceptional value products at their price point. The SM6 is so good that, in a blind test, I'm pretty sure you'd believe any reasonably believable price tag you were told. Build quality is beyond reproach. The unit itself is even packaged in a nice branded cloth bag - a nice touch that you'd more readily associate with more esoteric pricing strategies. Best of all is the experience of listening to music as familiar as the roof of one's mouth and discovering nuances you never heard. The SM6 seems to do this to almost every disc I've ripped. I couldn't be happier. Pros: Great sound way above its price point, exceptional value for money, admirable build quality. Easy and intuitive to use and supported by excellent documentation at the CA website. Firmware upgrades are handled automatically - a real plus. Cons: App could be more versatile. Services like Spotify and Qobuz cannot be streamed via the app, but by installing the Splashtop app that enables you to control your desktop/laptop PC from an iPad or Android device, you can completely override this issue and enjoy endless adjustment of your music program from the comfort of your armchair. It works seamlessly. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent audiophile quality media streamer Written By BrianH, Schaumburg, IL on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this unit to replace a Logitech Transporter. The Logitech is a fantastic product, but since they no longer produce the Transporter, I was concerned about future updates and having the latest compatibility. The Stream Magic 6 is a fantastic product, but it requires the user to have good working knowledge of home networking and servers. First off, I must respectfully disagree with a previous reviewer regarding this unit not being able to play AIFF files. Virtually my entire music library, which consists of over 1,500 CDs worth of music and over 1TB of data, is in AIFF format, and this player handles them beautifully. It also handles FLAC and ALAC files, which was of paramount importance to me since my music library resides in iTunes on my Mac. For those who plan to use the Stream Magic 6 with Mac, you will need to install a suitable UpNp server on your system. I tried several before deciding on TwonkyManager, which includes a server program along with added advanced capabilities. Once I had a reliable server installed on my Mac, it was a breeze to set up the Stream Magic 6. As far as the sound is concerned, it is VERY good with lots of detail, warmth and depth. I run the signal from the Stream Magic 6 through my Sony 7.1 receiver via optical digital cable, and the sound is super clean. The DACs in the Stream Magic 6 are truly audiophile grade. I also use the available iPad app to control the player, and find it to be reliable and very convenient. Highly recommended. Pros: Audiophile sound quality from twin DACs Upsamples lower bit rate files Handles virtually all audio codecs, including 24 bit and lossless Easy to use and convenient app for iPhone and iPad Solid build quality Cons: Can be tricky to set up and integrate with existing systems For Mac users, you must purchase a separate server program to handle your music files 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Won't play AIFF files Written By cw, Honolulu, HI on Wednesday, January 08, 2014 I bought this piece because it claimed to play AIFF files. It doesn't. I wish it did because it's a good sounding unit and is relatively user friendly at a reasonable price. I couldn't keep it, but if you don't have any AIFF files, you should check it out. Was this review helpful? Yes No Best thing since sliced bread Written By rstross, Tecumseh, MI on Saturday, July 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I love this Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6. I've only had it for a week but, it is an impressive piece of machinery. This device is really two components in one: a kickin' Internet radio paired to a state-of-the-art digital to analog converter (DAC). I am extremely busy. I don't have time to read everything and be some kind of techno-genius. I don't think that should be a requirement to enjoy your favorite music. The Internet radio feature allows you to access 20,000 radio stations from around the world. I love the sound that comes out of this thing! I love that I can get my local public radio, BBC and other international programs from all over the world. All without a computer! They keep track of all of these Internet stations so you don't have to!!! I love their iPad app. too - my son is 6 1/2 and we sit on the couch and browse by country - all around the world. I used to stream through my computer, which pipes the sound through a crappy, cheap DAC that makes everything sound like it came out of a tin can. From my computer, there's no bass, and the treble sounds all jingly, and artificial. By comparison - on the Stream Magic 6, you get silence in quiet passages, big bass, and clean, crisp treble - without all of the artificial sounds that come from a cheap DAC. Cambridge Audio has included their best DAC in this unit (ATF-2). You can hook up other digital inputs if you like and make use of that incredible DAC. I love the Stream Magic 6! Pros: - The best Internet radio ever (20,000 stations). - Awesome sound, clean and pure digital - good bass, nice treble, clear highs - ATF-2 State-of-the-art DAC. It's really something else again! I can't believe how good this sounds! - Good looks. Unit looks modern, sleek and uncluttered. Cons: I agree with other reviewers that the unit's interface is not user friendly and dreadfully slow too (takes a whole minute to turn on!). There is a slight learning curve. I recommend downloading the user manual from Cambridge Audio. Why have presets if there are no preset buttons on the front of the unit? How is my wife going to figure this out? Anyway, having said all of that, the sound is so awesome, I'm giving the Stream Magic 6 five stars! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Love it Written By Anonymous, Bucks County, PA on Saturday, July 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've only had the Stream Magic 6 for approximately 2 months, but I truly enjoy it. The unit is good looking (I bought it in black to match my Arcam components), and well made. I consider myself technologically savvy, however the set up took a little time. Specially, linking the unit to my paid streaming accounts. I'd definitely recommend this unit for anyone who enjoys streaming their music and/or SiriusXM radio. It supports a number of streaming options. Pros: Great looking unit, well made and offers a lot of functionality. Love that it is wifi compatible. Cons: Unit interface isn't all that intuitive, however the APP is really nice. Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Product Bit Of A Learning Curve Written By Kaline1968, Denver, Co on Sunday, April 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for a device that would allow me control media content as well as improve the sound of my existing digital library. I can hear an improvement in the sound of my existing library. I did not hear any difference in any of the digital filters. Set up was fairly straight forward even for an IT novice like myself. Large selection of internet radio choices. I downloaded the Stream Magic APP and found it average at best. I put 7 stations in memory, but when I tried to select a different station from the list of memorized stations, the app attempted to re-connect with my network and then settled back on the original pre-set. Several resets have not solved the problem. Frustrating. Additional bugs in getting it to recognize my NAS drive. Sometimes it sees it and then it disappears. I am sure that it wouldn't be a problem for people dealing with this technology every day, They would have experienced these problems before and would know how to rapidly solve them. I don't have anything but praise for the sound quality and features of the Stream Magic 6. I decided to purchase this unit based on the versatility of the APP. It is not working for me. Perhaps you will have better luck. Pros: Great features and sound quality. Cons: App has problems still to be worked out. If you are an IT wizard you might be able to get it to function properly. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Four Month Reviews Written By Jasonindenver, Denver on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great unit for the DAC alone. Add in the streaming functions and it excels. If you are looking for the sweet spot between digital audio handling/enhancement and value - this unit hits the mark. I added this to my 2-channel system streaming audio from a Mac mini media server and am blown away with the improvement in the sound quality. Details in my recordings are rendered at a level I have never heard before. I actually think the app works quite well on my Ipad and enjoy being able to change everything from the comfort of my sofa or while in another room. Setup was easy (even for a computer phobe like me) and the network connection was instant. Pros: Great sound quality and feature set. Cons: None 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Stream Magic 6 Written By Jim T, Denville, NJ` on Sunday, February 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Been trying to stream my large music collection through my stereo efficiently, but the problem was some of the lower quality MP3's sounded like just that, poor quality recordings. Cymbals didnt sound crisp, they almost had an echo to them. My father in law has a couple Linn streamers, and they sound fantastic, but I am not in a position to spend $5000 on a DLNA/uPNP streamer. I came across this Cambridge unit awhile ago. Read about it, read what people thought, and made the decision to try it out. My system consists of an older Denon AVR3806, DBX 3BX, 120X, Sony BluRay, Denon DVD, an Escient fireball system, Definitive SuperCube Sub, and B&W speakers. I am surprised at the sound this unit makes. My system isnt audiophile, but it is better than many and can show flaws in just about any source. The SM6 really cleans up lower quality sound files, and being able to stream my Pandora account to it seals the deal. Add to that an onboard DAC for any digital source I want to listen to, its just a total winner. Adding the StreamMagic app to my iPhone gives me access to any/all of the 15000 songs in my music library, all from the comfort of my couch. While the app crashes once in awhile, usually taking my queue with it, the instances are not all that common and few and far between. It seems to choke more often when serviing up a large queue. The SM6 has made listening to my music very convenient, making just about any file CD quality or better. I highly recommend this unit! Pros: Sound quality, ability to use the onboard DAC for multiple sources, aesthetic appearance, easy to use display, and easy to use I-device interface Cons: App seems to choke on large queues. Other than that, I cant think of any negatives. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No great equipment horrible interface Written By Richard, Ohio on Sunday, December 02, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The equipment itself is great. Great sound, no problem hooking it up to my network, potential to be a great solution to playing high quality music on my home stereo system (Marantz SR8300, Polk Audio Towers). The way I select songs using the unit is frustrating to say the least. CA would be better off not marketing the Anroid app as it has been my experience it works less than have the time. Pros: Great sound. Easy setup. Highly recommend from both the standpoints. Crutchfield is always great. Cons: Horrible interface. Exceedingly difficult to choose a song from the computer. I use exclusively playlists I build on my computer as anything other than pushing play is frustrating. The company should pull the remote program using Android and its advertisement of it until they have made the program functional. Horrible decision by Cambridge Audio to push this through Android remote program given its current state. It will cost them future customers. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No nice! Written By CAL, NY on Saturday, December 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good sound, easy to set up. Pros: Easy connection to modem, great sound with my CD transport. Cons: A bit slow to connect wwhen you turn it on. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Product Written By prc1966, Madawaska, ME on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a remarkable product, Plays all my music from my NAS & router via usb. Only problem is noisy when connecting 3.0 usb hard drive directly. 2.0 has no problem at all. Connecting USB memory directly no noise. Pros: Controls all your music files Cons: Noisy using usb 3.0 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 Written By Cliff H, Clemmons, NC on Thursday, September 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a remarkable product, and has transformed my listening habits. I never thought 128kps Pandora feeds could sound so good as they do through this unit. I only have two criticisms, first the iPad app could use some tweaks for better ergonomics, and second, Cambridge should offer the MOG service in it's streaming services choices. Otherwise, can't think of a way to improve it. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic! Written By Andrew A, Los Angeles, CA on Tuesday, September 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently bought a nice new set of speakers, and was streaming from my Apple Airport Express. The sound was ho hum. I experimented with a Denon streamer that was dismal, and decided to give this a try. The results were stratospheric. First, the setup was a little challenging. It was initially very noisy, and I thought I had a dud. I tried an experiment - I plugged the unit directly into a Bryston power amp with absolutely no preamp in between, using XLR cables. Wow! When not playing, almost every DAC I've tried is noisy - put your ear up against the tweeter and you'll see what I mean. With the XLR cables, it became apparent (as I suspected) that it's really hard to cable a system like this with minimal noise. Taking out the preamp and using XLR cables absolutely kills EM interference. I've tried it with a variety of sources and it is outstanding with everything. Interestingly it's the lowest quality inputs that it works best with. The airport express using an optical cable was incredibly better than using analog outs into a preamp. And the bluetooth is better than any other bluetooth I've listened to. I tried it with Pandora off a cellphone, and different music off an ipad from iTunes, and it's great with all of them. A definite improvement over just using airplay. But now comes the best part. With pandora and internet radio, this absolutely rocks. While the upsampling algorithms can't totally make up for lossy compression, they sure go a long way. The sound is fantastic. Pros: -Great DAC and upsampling software -Nicely implemented remotes on iPod, iPad and Android (I tried all 3) -Best way ever to listen to Pandora! -XLR outs - fantastic! Cons: -Really hoping they add Spotify soon.... 4 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing sound quality Written By CanDac, Vancouver, BC on Wednesday, July 18, 2012 I purchased one last month to solve two problems: 1. Get amazing sound quality via a DAC and 2. Connect to my Synology NAS to stream my music. This unit has done both. Not only was it easy to get started, it connect to my network without any work on my part, found my NAS drive automatically and the music it plays has so much depth. I love playing my old favorites again and again. Theres a very easy to use android app that makes navigating music and playlists simple. I would recommend this to any music lover without thinking twice. Pros: Very easy to setup Music depth is only believable once heard Android app makes everything feel like it should be Cons: Cannot think of anything 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not Ready for Prime Time Written By JohnG, Charleston, SC on Saturday, July 07, 2012 I purchased this unit specifically to play streaming media from my NAS device as well as remotely control the play with an iphone or ipad. The software was unable to recognize my Synology NAS device as a UPnP DLNA device. This was frustrating since I have a PS3 that has no problem. In addition, setting up Sirius internet play was easy but did not work. Response from Cambridge-Audio was that Sirius has changed some things which they recognize do not allow their current firmware to work properly with Sirius. I have not seen a fix. So basically, I have purchased an internet radio streaming device. YUK. Very disappointed. Pros: Easy setup ... good documentation Cons: Software not compatible with true DLNA and UPnP standards. Does not work with Sirius Crutchfield response on Thursday, August 16, 2012 We reached out to Cambridge Audio regarding this review. They stated, "Cambridge Audio has released a firmware update (July 25th) that offers a host of improvements; Gapless Playback, digital pre-amp mode for the NP30, improved UPnP browsing, ability to control volume and balance from iPhone/Android apps." "In addition, while there was never a transmission issue connecting to Sirius XM, an administrative issue (Back office legal signatures) has been resolved resulting in seamless reception." 14 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 offers wired (Ethernet) and wireless (WiFi) connectivity to your home network, and provides both analog and digital connections to your integrated amplifier or A/V receiver. The Stream Magic 6 network music player even offers a USB (type-B) input for direct connection to your computer. The Stream Magic 6 includes an IR remote control and supports the Stream Magic Remote App for Apple iOS and Android devices. Audiophile Performance for Outstanding Reproduction: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 network music player provides audiophile performance for outstanding reproduction of your streaming music files. The Stream Magic 6 incorporates dual Wolfson digital-to-analog converters with bit-perfect signal path and jitter suppression, as well as Cambridge's advanced AtF2 upsampling technology and Dual Differential Earth Balanced Filter Topology for all sources. Dual Wolfson Digital-to-Analog Converters: : The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 employs two very high-quality Wolfson WM8740 24-bit DAC ICs in dual-differential mode for excellent stereo imaging. Since each channel has its own DAC to process information, completely separate and symmetrical analog filter circuitry can be implemented. This implementation allows both the left- and right-channel circuitry to operate identically, ensuring the Stream Magic 6 delivers fantastic sound-staging and stereo-imaging properties. ATF2 Upsampling Technology: The Stream Magic 6 utilizes an asynchronous up-sampling process called "Adaptive Time Filtering 2nd Generation" that intelligently interpolates (converts) incoming audio data from 16-24 bits (at any standard sampling frequency between 32-96kHz) to 24-bit/384kHz for dramatically improved musical reproduction. ATF2 will enhance the audio clarity, richness, and dynamic range of your compressed music. Dual Differential Virtual Earth Balanced Filter Topology: The Stream Magic 6 uses Cambridge Audio's proprietary Dual Differential Virtual Earth Balanced filter topology, configured as a low-order two-pole liner-phase Bessel filter, in order to take advantage of the achieved high-sampling rate. As a result your music will have extreme linearity with greater dynamic range. Bit-Perfect Signal Path w/ Jitter Suppression: Music stored on computers and other hard drives inherently suffers from jitter, so the Stream Magic 6 implements a host of enhancements such as bit-perfect signal path and jitter suppression to vastly improve the quality of digital music playback. Total correlated jitter is less than 200ps. Phase Filter Select: The Stream Magic 6's 32-bit DSP employs Cambridge Audio's own proprietary digital filter algorithms with three different filter options available - Linear Phase, Minimum Phase, and Steep. Controlled from one switch on the front-panel, they are extremely clever audiophile topologies specifically developed for audio playback and all offer excellent sound quality, but differ slightly to appeal to a wide range of listening tastes. Linear Phase Filter: The Linear Phase Filter is the same as used in Cambridge Audio's flagship Azur 840C upsampling CD player. It uniquely features 'constant group delay' which delays all audio signals at all frequencies by the same amount - meaning all audio is fully time-coherent at the output. Minimum Phase Filter: The Minimum Phase Filter does not feature constant group delay, but rather has been optimized without feed-forward so that the impulse response exhibits no pre-ringing in the time domain. Many audiophiles have argued that the pre-ringing, as seen in nearly all digital filter designs, may affect the transient attack of percussive instruments. Minimum phase implementation eliminates this and is a technology only seen previously in some extremely high-end CD playback systems Steep Filter: The steep filter removes undistinguishable artifacts via re-calibration for a very slight roll-off at 20kHz, but an ultra-steep drop to the stop-band just after 20kHz. Supported Audio Formats: Cambridge Audio's Stream Magic 6 network music player supports all the most popular formats via Network, UPnP, and USB connection.

Check cambridgeaudio.com for the latest firmware/software updates. Wired & Wireless Connections Wired or Wireless Network Connectivity: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 offers a wired or wireless connection to your home network. Ethernet (LAN): The Stream Magic 6 network music player is fitted with an Ethernet (R-J45) port to connect directly to your home's network hub. Only connect the LAN port of the player to an Ethernet port that supports 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX. WiFi: The Stream Magic 6 features built-in Wi-Fi (with a WLAN aerial antenna) to wirelessly connect to your home network. The Stream Magic 6 supports 802.11 b/g/n (in 2.4GHz only) with WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption. The unit has a wireless range of 30-98'. Note: It is not recommended to use a Wi-Fi connection for content above 16 bits, 44.1/48kHz (if lossless/uncompressed). UPnP Compatible: The Stream Magic 6 network music player is a UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) AV Client. Being a UPnP Client means the it can connect to UPnP AV servers on a network and browse and playback their music content. A connection to the internet is not strictly needed for this. The Stream Magic 6 just needs to be able to connect to the server to access its content. Most operating systems and/or music playback software now feature UPnP server facilities built-in. This allow you to share the music on the computer's hard-drive with Clients, such as the Stream Magic 6. Your music library can include digital music located anywhere on your home network such as shared folders on your own computer (Windows or Mac), shared folders on another computer on your network, or music stored on a Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device on your network. Using UPnP, the Stream Magic 6 can connect to these devices and play back, or 'stream' non-DRM music files via the network to your home entertainment system. UPnP connection supports up to 24-bit/96kHz and Gapless playback. Note: Not all servers support serving of all audio formats. Always make sure the server you choose also supports your formats of choice. For example, Windows Media Server does not currently serve FLAC format. USB Ports: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 network audio player is fitted with Dual USB type-A ports (1 front/1 rear) to connect a USB flash memory device or portable USB hard drive, and a rear-panel USB type-B port to connect your Windows or Mac computer. Dual USB (Type-A) Ports: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 features two USB type-A (1.1) inputs for music playback from a USB flash memory device or portable hard drive (up to 24-bit/96kHz). One USB port is on the front-panel, while the other is on the rear-panel. Your USB device must be formatted in FAT32 format with non-DRM music files. The Stream Magic 6 cannot supply greater than 500mA from the USB socket, itself. Good practice is to create folders for Artists within which you should have sub folders for each Album which then contain the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the Stream Magic product's media browsing. USB (Type-B) Input: A rear-panel 24-bit/192kHz USB (type-B) port enables the Stream Magic 6 to be connected to your Windows PC or Mac computer. The Stream Magic 6 will act as a very high-quality DAC/sound-card with very low jitter for your computer, offering genuine Hi-Fi-quality playback from your stored music and Internet radio. The Stream Magic 6 is both USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) and USB 1.1 (Full-speed) USB port compatible. It will also work with the new USB 3.0 ports where the PC will simply treat the Stream Magic 6 as if it were a USB 2.0 or 1.1 device. PC Compatible: With the Stream Magic 6 switched to USB Audio 1.0 (this is the default setting), the Stream Magic 6 will work with the native Windows XP, Vista or 7 Audio 1.0 driver (no need to load any new driver) and accept audio up to 24-bit/96kHz. With the Stream Magic 6 switched to USB Audio 2.0, the Stream Magic 6 needs the Cambridge Audio USB Audio 2.0 Driver to be loaded and can then accept up to 24-bit/192kHz (and support ASIO and WASAPI Exclusive if required). Mac Compatible: No extra drivers are required to connect your Mac computer. With the Stream Magic 6 switched to USB Audio 1.1, the Stream Magic 6 will work with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 1.0 driver and accept audio up to 24/96kHz. With the Stream Magic 6 switched to USB Audio 2.0 the Stream Magic 6 works with the native Mac OS-X 10.5 (Leopard) or above Audio 2.0 driver and can accept audio up to 24/192kHz. Note: Click here to download the Cambridge Audio USE Audio 2.0 Driver. Bluetooth Audio Streaming (optional): The Stream Magic 6 will support Bluetooth audio streaming. All you need is Cambridge Audio's plug & play BT100 wireless audio receiver (779BT100, sold separately) to stream music from your Apple iPod touch, iPhone, iPad; or other Bluetooth enabled smartphone tablet, laptop or MacBook to the Stream Magic 6. Simply plug in the Cambridge Audio BT100 Bluetooth Audio Receiver into the Stream Magic 6's rear-panel USB (type-A) port for wireless music streaming. The Cambridge Audio BT100 supports Bluetooth A2DP wireless audio streaming. Note: The Cambridge Audio BT100 does not support Bluetooth AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) or HFP (Hands Free Profile). Digital Inputs & Outputs: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 offers digital audio inputs & outputs. Digital Inputs: The Stream Magic 6 is fitted with two rear-panel digital inputs. The digital input consists of an optical (toslink) and coaxial (RCA) digital connection. The optical and coaxial digital input allow a wide range of digital source (CD, DVD, Game Console, etc.) to be connected to the Stream Magic 6. The optical digital connection supports up to 24-bit/96kHz, while the coaxial digital connection supports up to 24-bit/192kHz. Digital Outputs: A rear-panel digital output (optical/coaxial) allows pass-through of the selected digital source for recording purposes (no up-sampling performed). These outputs loop or pass-through unprocessed digital audio from the selected digital input. Both the optical and coaxial digital outputs are always active and can be used to connect and run equipment at the same time. A 5.1 Dolby Digital or DTS signal can be passed through the unit's digital outputs. The 5.1ch signal is not decoded or processed (only pass-through). Balanced & Unbalanced Outputs: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 features both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) audio outputs to connect to a wide variety of home stereo receivers and amplifiers. Unbalanced: The Stream Magic 6 features an unbalanced stereo analog RCA audio output for connecting your stereo receiver or amplifier. Balanced: The Stream Magic 6 features true balanced XLR analog audio outputs to connect high-end home receivers and amplifiers. XLR is a higher-quality output that can reject noise and interference with equipment with balanced inputs. Note: The Digital Preamp Mode is used to connect the Stream Magic 6 directly to a separate power amplifier or active speakers. The Stream Magic 6 is supplied as default with Digital Preamp mode enabled. In this mode, the output from the Unbalanced and Balanced audio outputs is controlled by the front-panel Volume control. If you wish to disable this mode (and have fixed line-level level output from the Unbalanced and Balanced Audio outputs) switch the Stream Magic 6 off, then push and hold the Volume control in while switching the Stream Magic 6 on. IR Emitter In (3.5mm): 3.5mm minijack input that enables modulated IR commands from multiroom or IR repeater systems to be received by the Stream Magic 6. Control Bus In/Out (RCA): The Control Bus RCA input enables un-modulated commands from multiroom systems or other components to be received by the Stream Magic 6. The Control Bus RCA output provides control bus output commands for further downstream units. This can be useful if using the iPhone app to control the volume on a Cambridge Audio amplifier. Front-Panel & Remote Controls Front-Panel Controls: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 network music player features easy-to-use front-panel controls with various push-buttons and a rotary-dial. Slim-Line Remote: The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 includes a slim-line IR remote control for wireless operation of the unit. Stream Magic Remote App: The Stream Magic 6 can also be controlled using the free Stream Magic Remote App for Apple iOS and Android. The new Stream Magic Remote App gives you full control of the Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 from your Apple iOS or Android device. From the palm of your hand you can access music stored across your home network, control streaming music services, browse Internet radio stations and USB media using your Apple iOS or Android device. For added convenience, track information and album art is retrieved and displayed automatically on your mobile device's touchscreen. You can also edit preset stations and streaming services, while setting up a queue of your favorite tracks which will continue to play even if your Apple iOS or Android device is switched off or loses its network connection.

Five Rappers Who Stepped Outside Hip-Hop
October 10, 2013 via Pepsi
Five Rappers Who Stepped Outside Hip-Hop
Rappers have been dabbling in genres outside of hip-hop for years. Whether it's The Notorious B.I.G.'s gloriously off-key, "Playa Hater" (from Life After To Death) or Andre 3000's groundbreaking half of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below or Kanye West's electronic tour de force, 808s & Heartbreak—the urge for emcees to drop down and get their croon-on dates back to before the Golden Era. Even independent hero, Murs teamed with Sasha Jenkins and punk bassist, Darryl Jenifer to release the Hard Rock album The Ghetto Is Trying To Kill Me this year. These artists have successfully pushed their talents past the margins of hip-hop and into a variety of other genres. Hip-hop began as an amalgamation of various sounds, highlighting several genres before being considered its own. Why should such progressiveness ever end? Here are five rappers who stepped outside of hip-hop, and did it well.
1. Pharrell
On June 29, 2013 Pharrell Williams, at 40, became the twelfth artist in Billboard Hot 100 history to have collaborated on the top two charted songs, "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky" respectively. The origin of Pharrell's dynamic and versatile music career began in 1992 in Virginia Beach, Virginia where he and Chad Hugo joined together to form the ultimate R&B, soul and hip-hop record production duo, The Neptunes. Their teeming success broke through after nearly a decade of hard work when the duo produced Kelis' debut studio R&B/ hip-hop album Kaleidoscope and Britney Spears' hit single, "I'm A Slave 4 U." Strengthening their musical bravado, The Neptunes soon created the rock, funk and hip-hop band N.E.R.D. and the following year Pharrell through The Neptunes furthered his multi-genre career by aiding in the production for Justin Timberlake's Disco-pop/R&B debut studio album Justified and Nelly's "Hot In Herre." He released a knockout remix of Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" and produced Madonna's album Hard Candy. After linking up with Robin Thicke and friends this year, Pharrell continues to broaden his musical artistry by composing the soundtrack to Despicable Me followed by the composing and producing the music for the 84thAcademy Awards alongside renowned film composer Hans Zimmer. Watch Pharrell's video for "Frontin," above and see if you can remember Pharrell back when he was a burgeoning young rapper.
2. will.i.am
Among the many talented cross-genre artists relevant to American culture in the 21st century, will.i.am stands as a true milestone maker. In his early work with Black Eyed Peas, will.i.am maintained a popular yet socially aware expression of music that was viable to a large range of audiences bringing focus to social problems amid the post-9/11 American era, like single "Where Is The Love." More recently, will.i.am has focused on production, working with different artists to blend rap, R&B, and house to create quality hybrid popular music. After writing and producing the Pop/R&B hit "OMG" for Usher and the House/Pop single "Big Fat Bass" for Britney Spears, will.i.am put in work with Justin Bieber, featuring him on "#thatpower" off his latest album #willpower. will.i.am has also begun to help transition Korean hip-hop group 2NE1 in the American market as he collaborated on tracks "Take On The World" and "Gettin' Dumb." Watch the music video for "Where Is The Love," above and take a trip down memory lane with will.i.am 1.0.
M.I.A broke when she was nominated for an Academy Award for collaborating on the song "O…Saya," from Slumdog Millionaire. The Sri Lankan went on to win a Grammy for both "Paper Planes" and "Swagga Like Us" in less than a year. Her music integrates elements of hip-hop, dance hall and electronic jungle with traditional dance and folk styles--she often raps over live instrumentation. Her politically avant-garde visuals are backed by her formal education at Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. Rolling Stone and Blender named Kala "Best Album Of The Year," in 2007. Currently, her fans are awaiting her fourth studio album Matangi.
4. Snoop Lion
Nearly a decade after the release of Doggystyle, his debut studio album, Snoop began collaborating with the powerhouse music production duo The Neptunes leading to the creation of "Beautiful," which peaked at No. 6 on Billboard's Hot 100. Working with the cross-genre kings led Snoop to feature Justin Timberlake on the chorus for his third single "Signs" off of his seventh studio album R&G: The Masterpiece. During these years Snoop broadened his international network when he rapped in "Singh Is Kinng," a Bollywood action comedy. Now a household name, Snoop completed his transformation into Snoop Lion after developing and releasing his latest musical venture signifying his transition into Reggae. Snoop Lion released Reincarnated, a documentary about his exploration into Rastafari culture, which was soon coupled with Snoop's twelfth studio album also entitled Reincarnated. As part of his new identity, Snoop is working with global artists from multiple genres like Poland's Iza Lach. Having trouble remembering what Snoop was like back in the day when he was still Doggy Dogg? Check out the video for "Sensual Seduction" above and recall the rapper in all his glory.
5. Phonte
Greensboro, North Carolina native Phonte Coleman first met hip-hop record producer 9thWonder and rapper Big Pooh in 1998 during school at North Carolina Central University. XXL Magazine rated Phonte's eventual debut studio album Charity Starts at Home 4/5 stars. Between forming the hip-hop group Little Brother with 9th Wonder and Big Pooh and refining his solo success, Phonte joined forces with Dutch record producer Nicolay to form The Foreign Exchange. Together the duo combined R&B and Soul to produce the Grammy nominated track "Daykeeper," which featured neo-soul indie pop vocalist Muhsinah. Most recently Phonte has begun collaborating with hip-hop producer Oddisee and experimental producer Flying Lotus furthering his integrative musical achievements. Listen to Tor Cesay, "The Perch" ft. Flying Lotus, Oddisee & Phonte Coleman above.

Svindal continues his fantastic run in Beaver Creek with second in the Super G
Aksel Lund Svindal continued the epic assault of the HEAD World Cup rebels on the World Cup this season by taking second in the Super G in Beaver Creek. With HEAD racers having won every race so far this season on the Men's World Cup, Svindal looked to have continued the success as he lead after the elite top 30 racers had almost finished. While Svindal admitted he did not feel entirely satisfied with his run, he was satisfied with the result he said later.
As he watched Viletta come down with Beat Feuz, who finished behind Svindal, Svindal turned to the Swiss racer and said "we are in trouble now," after Viletta went through the first split a second ahead. Svindal had won the season opening Super G in Lake Louise the previous weekend and looked to be on course for taking the second but in the end Viletta edged him by two tenths of a second.
On a day that saw more snow fall during the race, Svindal admitted that he "just wasn't clean enough, I had some mistakes, not big mistakes," Svindal said. "Viletta, he was carrying the speed all the way up there. I had to throw them sideways a couple times and he skied really well up there."
After his exploits in the Downhill that had seen him take the win, the Bode factor helped Viletta as he put everything into his run. For Miller though, he pushed the boundary just a little too far in true Bode style and even he did not know how he had recovered from having one ski high in the air and carving a turn on his inside ski.
With Svindal on the podium, Kjetil Jansrud and Didier Cuche made it three HEAD Rebels in the top ten as they placed 6 and 9.
1. Sandro Viletta (SUI)
2. Aksel Lund Svindal (NOR) HEAD
3. Beat Feuz (SUI)
6. Kjetil Jansrud (NOR) HEAD
9. Didier Cuche (SUI) HEAD
15. Stephan Keppler (GER) HEAD
21. Bode Miller (USA) HEAD

Uncorked Ventures Blog
Is that too direct?
I think anyone who orders wine from us, or has tried to send a wine gift basket to a friend has dealt with the alcohol shipping laws in the United States. Yes, they're a mess and yes they are constantly changing. Both of those pose their own unique set of challenges.
A recent Governor's veto stopped one of the most egregious over steps we've seen in a while.
The distributors argued that wineries should be, in effect treated as franchises.
Having grown up with my parents owning a Dairy Queen franchise, I can't exactly tell you what my response was to this, but let's just say that I don't see the two equally.
A winery is a supplier for a distributor. A franchise is an independently owned version of a larger store. I don't think the difference is hard to see.
In any case, the problem with the whole argument is that a winery would in essence be locked in to the first distributor that they work with.
I think most of us are glad that these type of laws are getting thrown out left and right. In this case, it took some independent thinking in the state capitol instead of a court case, but the result is just as satisfying.
I know I've talked about it before and I think distributors do a nice job in many markets, but the entire industry, including distributors themselves, would benefit from greater consumer choice.
Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
We've all heard the saying, right? Lies, damn lies and statistics. Seeing the following chart made me think of that, given that we're lumping all $20+ into the "luxury" category I can't see how else to explain it.
One thing we've found with Uncorked Ventures and our wine club members, the folks buying Wine Exploration Club shipments differ in some important ways from those buying Special Selections memberships. I don't think that lumping them together is giving anyone a realistic look at the wine market, although it's fun to think that 19 of the top 20 "luxury" brands come from California, it is entirely dependent on how you define luxury.
Hot Temperatures and Bad Wine?
It's one of the giant problems in the wine industry, grapes grow faster at warmer temperatures and grow more consistently (both good thing for winery owners) but the resulting wine usually isn't very good.
There in lies the real challenge facing the industry, can you find a range of wines which happily grow at warm temperatures, but produce a higher quality of wine?
We know that Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and especially Pinot Noir don't react well to consistent 100 degree heat-that's how we end up with so much almost undrinkable jug wine at grocery stores and drug stores across the country.
I saw a story the other day in an agriculture magazine about how researchers at UC Davis and bringing in native grape varieties from warmer European climates and are trying to plant them in the incredibly warm San Joaquin Valley in California. While our traditional grapes do not do well in those climates, might other choices from warmer parts of Europe like Spain, Greece and Italy fare better? It seems reasonable to think so and it's an exciting project. More cheap and drinkable wine would be a good thing as the industry continues to expand.
Mourvedre is an interesting grape type for a number of reasons. To start, almost every wine drinker has had Mouvedre in a wine they've tasted, although only a small portion have ever had a varietal specific Mourvedre.
The reason for that is quite simple, from its beginnings in Spain (according to most genealogical histories, in the Catalonia region along the Spanish/French border) but more importantly in the Rhone Valley of France, Mourvedre has been a blending grape.
It's often including with Syrah and Grenache in GSM blends, some of which have become increasingly famous within the wine world, especially with a GSM being named Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year in 2010. That specific wine was a Saxum effort from the famed James Berry Vineyard in Paso Robles. Wine critic Robert Parker counts the James Berry Vineyard among the top five in the state, in effect calling them one of California's Grand Cru's. The simple fact that Mourvedre is given plantings in such an important vineyard says something about how the team at Saxum feels about the grape and its long term prospects.
In any case, Mourvedre is set to gain market share. To start, it's a relatively easy grape to grow and it reacts well to warmer temperatures which are becoming a larger and larger concern for vintners. There are a number of reasons for its performance with warmer temperatures, not the least of which is an extended hang time, which helps to allow the grape to gain higher sugar levels and therefore higher alcohol levels. While there is always going to be debate about appropriate levels of alcohol in wine, no one can argue the amazing consumer and critical success being enjoyed by high alcohol California wines. Plus, as temperatures warm alcohol levels increase.
As you might expect, great Mouvedre's are still relatively difficult to find. In some ways, it's still a cult grape among the winemaking community. Given that the entire set of Rhone varietals was virtually extinct in California in the mid 1980's until the Rhone Rangers saved them, there is still plenty of room to grow,
Some of our favorite Mourvedre's and Mourvedre blends:
Saxum: Personally, any conversation about great Mourvedre has to start here for a number of reasons. Saxum makes a variety of Mourvedre and GSM choices from a number of local Paso Robles vineyards, when you can get your hands on them, they're one of the best American examples of the varietal. A recent Los Angeles Times article had a great quote from owner and winemaker Justin Smith ""Mourvèdre is great here," says Saxum owner-winemaker Smith. "Ever since the beginning, when we used to bottle things like Syrah as a varietal, we would throw Mourvèdre in it. As we learn more about it viticulturally, we're increasing the portion of it. It has texture and weight and ripeness. It's a great foil for Grenache, which is high-alcohol and high-acid in this area. Mourvèdre is lower in acid and alcohol, so they really work well together."
Terry Hoague: Yes, this is the former NFL star turned winemaker. While the winery itself doesn't specialize in Mourvedre, Saxum uses some vineyard space to grow the grape so the potential is obviously there. Their "5 Blocks" Syrah seems to be increasing its Mourvedre component on a yearly basis, with the wine now containing more Mourvedre than Grenache. Hoague crafts some of the most delicate wines in Paso Robles and is likely a winery which will continue to hone and expand Mourvedre production in the future.
Qupe Wines: Owner and winemaker Bob Lindquist is a legend in the Santa Barbara wine scene, largely responsible for the good standing of the warm climate AVA's in and around Los Olivos and Solvang as well as the rest of the Santa Ynez Valley. In any case, Qupe does produce a range of GSM blends from a variety of vineyard sites. If you want to compare how Mouvedre affects a wine blend, this is a nice place to start since Qupe generally produces a varietal specific Syrah as well as a blend from each vineyard site. Opening both bottles will give you a really good idea about the depth of color and dark plum flavors often imparted by a well grown Mourvedre. Qupe also makes wines at high enough production levels that they are generally available at fine wine stores across the country.
Quivira Vineyards: Quivira is among the most environmentally conscious wineries you'll find anywhere. From biodynamic farming practices to keeping pigs, chickens, bees and yes even a few turkey's on the property to make sure the estate is sustainable over the long term. While Quivira has been long focused on Zinfandel, one of their most unique and interesting wines is a Wine Creek Ranch Estate Mourvedre. It's one of the few true estate produced Mouvedre's in California from a well known and respected winery. Production is smaller as you might expect at only 300 cases per year, but this is a really, really nice intro into the grape at a surprisingly affordable price point of $32.
Ridge Vineyards: I think everyone who drinks wine consistently knows Ridge by now, starting with their outstanding results in the Judgment of Paris so many years ago. The winery doesn't make a varietal Mourvedre every year, but when it has in the past the grapes have been from the famed Monte Bello vineyard. That alone makes a Ridge Mourvedre worth looking out for. As a side note, Ridge along with a few other California vintners sometimes refer to the grape as Mataro, it's French name.
McCrea Cellars: Doug McCrea has been incredibly nice to me since the beginning here at Uncorked Ventures although we've yet to feature one of his wines. He's considered most responsible for bringing Rhone varietals to the state of Washington and he certainly deserves credit for making an affordable Mourvedre ($28). He's also said numerous times that he thinks, long term that Mourvedre shows the most old world character of those Rhone grapes grown in Washington further speaking to his high opinion of the grape.
We hope this has helped to answer some of your questions about Mourvedre. It's an interesting grape that's well worth the time to get to know, especially given the likely increasingly numbers of plantings coming in the future.
Canada Ends Federal Wine Shipping Ban
In the United States every state holds the power to control how alcohol is marketed, sold and transported. At Uncorked Ventures we think that's a good thing. More local control has been shown time and time again to help prevent and lessen underage drinking which is good for everyone in the wine industry, even those of us selling wine at price points which simply aren't attractive to underage buyers. That being said, dealing with specific license requirements in states which allow out of state retailers to ship directly to consumers can be oppressive to small business. Some states go even further by preventing out of state wineries and/or retailers from shipping directly to citizens in their state, while also allowing in state wineries and retailers to ship wine directly to them. Aside from the obvious and clear violation of the Commerce Clause (which judging by the recent health care ruling, the Supreme Court still views as a valuable part of the Constitution given it was referenced in the majority opinion) that hurts consumer choice. If you live in Pennsylvania as an example, you can come to California to visit Napa Valley, but can't have wine shipped back to your house. Is that really preventing underage drinking? Is it really doing anything other than restraining trade for out of state retailers?
I bring all this up because Canada has many of the same sets of rules and regulations regarding alcohol shipments from one Province to another. Their rules, like ours, were enacted after Prohibition. Unlike the United States though, where the federal government decided after Prohibition to get out of the alcohol regulation business, the Canadian federal government did have a set of laws on the books which eliminated a large part of winery to consumer shipments across Province lines.
From CNews: "OTTAWA - With the stroke of the governor general's pen, Conservative MP Dan Albas's bill to eliminate the federal ban on transporting wine across provincial borders became law Thursday"
It is, without a doubt an important step for consumer choice in Canada and we hope a good sign for continued loosening of restrictions which eliminate consumer choice as well as our ability to compete with business with local retailers.

Well, my blog is still a baby (just started it last week!) but I've got a post up on CA's Prop 8 right now, a how-to on my specific style of Tarot from a few days ago, and will be dropping my belated Samhain post later today. The blog can be found here, and the specific post on Prop 8 is here.

This isn't my blog, but I wanted to put a plug in for 866-OUR-VOTE, the Election Protection hotline. Folks will be answering the hotline on US election day to share information and empower voters to vindicate their rights, as well as keep track of disenfranchisement shenanigans around the country. The goal is to make sure that everybody who wants to and is legally able to vote, can. More info: http://www.866ourvote.org/.

My most recent post - I'm back to part-time blogging - dissects the logic in a recent Thomas Sowell op-ed piece. Needless to say, I find Mr. Sowell's logic, well, flagrantly flawed.

Uh...well http://buthereweare.blogspot.com/ is mine.
I don't blog about anything in particular, usually what just makes me mad or what news I hear. My last entry (of substance, so the second to last) was actually just talking about your post on the domestic abuse ads and some of the comments. That and I've just been doing some verbal mood swinging...I'm working on trying to get some normalcy going on again.

I've recently posted up an old poem by a Malaysian poet about racism in the US. Racism now is such a touchy topic in Malaysia,; we rarely see anything beautiful and profound but at the same time a hard-hitting critique of own bigotry.
My blog is mostly about sexuality and living as a Muslim woman.

Im an eclectic poster on my blog...whatever happens to be pushing my button at the moment...or maybe some personal memories dredged up for a change of pace. An occasional blast at religious folk...and some serious finger pointing at the local MP's...always fodder there.

My blog is a hodge podge as well (and nowhere near as awesome as yours, nor am I as articulate) but I did recently write about religion and snake handling in Appalachia. Since this practice is something that most people outside of the Eastern U.S. might not know much about, I encourage you to read.
If that's not your thing then you can also read about white trash love of Elvis :)

text: Special Programs Pre-health Advisment The director of pre-health education is the principal advisor for students interested in entering the health professions upon graduation from Le Moyne. Information sessions for prospective applicants to professional schools begin as early as summer orientation when the director of pre-health education meets with incoming first-year students and their parents. The director also chairs the Health Professions Advisory Committee. This Committee advises and assists students interested in pursuing careers in health. The chair serves as an information source and principal advisor for those students interested in dentistry, medicine, optometry, podiatry, physicians' assistant programs, veterinary medicine and allied health care fields. The chair furnishes information regarding professional school admission requirements and entrance exams and also conducts informational meetings for prospective applicants ti professional schools. At a student's request, members of the Advisory Committee can evaluate the student's undergraduate credentials and formulate official letters of recommendation. Pre-law Advisement The director of pre-law education is the principal advisor for students interested in careers in the legal profession. Information sessions for prospective applicants to professional schools begin as early as summer orientation when the director of pre-law education meets with incoming first-year students and their parents. The director also counsels students interested in pursuing careers in the law by providing information on law schools and the LSAT, sponsoring visits from law school admissions personnel, conducting information meetings for Le Moyne students and preparing official college letters of recommendation on behalf of student applicants. Teaching Certification Le Moyne's Education Department administers New York State-approved programs for initial certification in: Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, or TESOL (Grades K-12); Dual Childhood and Special Education (Grades 1-6); Middle Level Education (Grades 5-9); Adolescent Education (Grades 7-12); and Dual Adolescent and Special Education (Inclusive Education for Grades 7-12) Matriculated undergraduate students seeking teacher certification must also major in one of the subjects listed in their specific certification area. Please refer to the Department of Education's website to review these major options. Important Education Requirements to Remember Applying to the Program: Students must formally declare education as part of their degree program by the end of sophomore year in order to complete the program in a timely manner. In order to declare a teaching certification concentration, students must complete the Le Moyne College Teacher Preparation Program - Request for Enrollment form, available in the Education Department. Practicum: Le Moyne students are required to complete field observations/practicum as a component of the program. Students must complete 100 hours of fieldwork in urban, rural and suburban settings as part of the New York State teacher certification regulations. The goal of practicum is to serve as a bridge between the theory and practice taught in courses and the real-life setting of the public and private school classroom. Le Moyne's Field Placement Coordinator will arrange all practicum placements. Student Teaching: Students are required to student teach for one full semester. No other courses may be taken during student teaching. Our Field Placement Coordinator will also arrange all student teaching assignments. A Le Moyne College supervisor will be assigned to observe the student teacher weekly. Students listed as pursuing teaching certification should visit the Education Department periodically in Reilly Hall 101 for advisement assistance. Students are not formally assigned an education advisor in addition to the advisor in their major. However, they are responsible for understanding and meeting their program's requirements. For more information on education requirements, refer to the College Catalog or visit the Department of Education's website.

A new Epic activity tab, entitled AllergyPrevEMR, displays allergy information from the legacy health systems' EMRs including Cerner, SCM (York Street Campus), and Quadra- Med (Saint Raphael Campus). Epic remains the primary source of allergy information and there is no automated transfer from the legacy systems.
Taking and documenting the allergy history is a shared responsibility and all licensed clinical staff had this activity added to their sign-on. For admitted patients, generally the admitting nurse will review any old allergy information.
For safest practice, each provider should check if any legacy allergy information exists with this button. If there are differences between the current Epic allergy information and the legacy system, discuss and validate any documented allergies from Cerner, SCM or QuadraMed and Epic with the patient, identifying any new allergies or changes to the documented allergy history and enter the correct information into Epic. Please Note: the information from the Legacy systems is not auto-populated by pressing the AlleryPrevEMR button and must be manually entered once validated with the patient/caregiver.
After the Legacy allergy information has been reviewed, you can indicate that to subsequent providers by clicking the "mark as reviewed" button. Do not click "mark as reviewed" until you have validated the information and assured the proper information is entered into Epic. If you "mark as reviewed" before you validate and make any corrections in Epic, that will cause all subsequent viewers to assume, perhaps incorrectly, that the new record is accurate and complete. If you see a comment entered and you would like to enter an additional comment, please do not delete what the previous healthcare provider entered unless the information is no longer accurate. Comments will not be saved if they are deleted.
This tab was a response to a case where a negative outcome occurred from not reviewing allergy information that was present in the Cerner EMR. The tab was created as quickly as possible and education is being rolled out. For more information or questions, please contact Karri Davis, RN, clinical nurse specialist, at (203) 534-1526.

Okay, so we haven't had all that much snow yet…but…in the event that we get a good dumping or two, you can bet I'll have the Anime Club creating snow sculptures of their favorite characters like this one:
In the meantime, join us for some indoor fun at DPL's Anime Club. The next meeting is tomorrow night! It sure is nice, cozy, warm, and usually dry inside the Fairmount Library, especially next to the fireplace. If you get here early you can always grab a graphic novel and thaw out library-style. Anime Club starts at 5:30. This time around we'll have all the fixings for more Shrinky Dink adventures. Oh, and here are a few cool key chains and magnets that the teens created at last month's meeting:
