Sub-1 V supplies limit the output voltage swing and saturated output power of an amplifier integrated in deep-submicron CMOS technology. Aside from absolute output power, power-added efficiency (PAE), stability and gain are also important power-amplifier (PA) design considerations. High reverse isolation between output and input is necessary to mitigate the effects of antenna mismatch, limit unwanted interference between circuit blocks on-chip and to promote stability. Efficiency of the PA is also paramount for portable consumer electronic applications operating from a battery, such as short-range Gb/s communication SoCs operating in the unlicensed bands around 60 GHz. Aside from the 60 GHz band, long-range collision-avoidance radar for automobiles (77/79 GHz), and radio imaging (94 GHz) are also potential applications for CMOS at mm-wave frequencies.

I wish I had saved them, but around my neighborhood their was one flyer for a house with two walk-in panties (aka pantries). Also, one of the flashier houses had a listing declaring it part of one of the most "pretentious" neighborhoods in town. I think they meant prestigious.

GOP Ideas On Fannie, Freddie Criticized
The top regulator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Thursday criticized several Republican proposals to address the companies' future as either unnecessary or counterproductive.
House Republicans introduced eight bills this week that would try to chip away at Fannie and Freddie's role in the housing market. The piecemeal effort represents a tactical shift from a comprehensive, speedy wind-down of the mortgage-finance giants introduced earlier in March by a top Republican lawmaker. The House Financial Services Committee could vote on it next month, the panel's chair said Thursday.
Sens. John McCain (R., Ariz.) and Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) unveiled a similar bill in the Senate on Thursday. But the bill isn't expected to get much traction in the Democratic-led Senate, and a series of individual bills could having a better chance at forcing Democrats to consider the proposals.
Edward DeMarco, the acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the two firms, took exception with several of the Republican proposals at a hearing Thursday of a House financial-services subcommittee.
Republicans want to require Fannie and Freddie to comply with new rules requiring issuers of mortgage backed-securities to retain 5% of the credit risk for mortgages packaged into securities. Regulators earlier this week said Fannie and Freddie already satisfy those rules because the firms are backed by the U.S. government and they guarantee 100% of losses to investors on mortgages they securitize.
Mr. DeMarco said imposing the risk-retention requirement on Fannie and Freddie "would add nothing" to improve risk and would instead force the firms to increase the size of their combined $1.4 trillion loan portfolios.
Increasing those portfolios is at odds with a separate GOP measure to more rapidly shrink their mortgage holdings, which now must be reduced by 10% each year. Mr. DeMarco warned that a congressional mandate for a "faster reduction could cost taxpayers significantly" because it might force them to sell assets that could eventually recover more value.
Republicans said the proposal, along with other they advocate, were an important starting point to shrink the government's heavy involvement in the mortgage market through its backstop of Fannie and Freddie. "These entities enjoy a subsidized monopoly," said Randy Neugebauer (R., Texas).
Rep. Barney Frank (D., Mass.) echoed support for the Republican proposal to subject Fannie and Freddie to the new risk retention rules. Under questioning, Mr. DeMarco conceded that the proposal "would not cause any harm."
Republicans also have proposed reducing executive pay at Fannie and Freddie by putting employees on a federal pay scale. Mr. DeMarco objected to that approach, but a separate report issued Thursday by the FHFA's inspector general questioned how the regulatory agency managed executive pay decisions for top officials at Fannie and Freddie.
Other bills—one to limit the firms' ability to launch new products and another to encourage the firms to raise the fees they charge to lenders—would formalize efforts that are already underway. A separate measure would require the Treasury to approve the firms' corporate debt issuance. The bill "oddly over-involves the Treasury in the day-to-day work" of the firms, said Jim Vogel, an analyst at FTN Financial.
Republicans say the bills would help steer Congress towards overhauling the government's role in the mortgage market. The U.S. took Fannie and Freddie over in 2008 and the takeover has cost taxpayers $134 billion so far. The proposals "would send an important signal to the market so that private capital can come in," said Christopher Papagianis, managing director at Economics21, an economic policy think-tank.
But other analysts say that the bills are largely symbolic. "Everyone understands frustration with the existing system but investors are looking for creative, serious solutions, not sending Fannie and Freddie to their room without dinner," said Mr. Vogel. "That's the impression left by the direction" lawmakers are taking.

It's the simple pleasures like hiking and town festivals that residents love most about this Portland suburb.
[MUSIC] After searching the country for perfect places to call home, Family Circle chose these communities, for their stellar schools, affordable housing, and giving spirit. Camas, Washington. It's the simple pleasures that many residents love about this picturesque Portland suburb. That includes hiking along the beautiful Columbia River Gorge, or catching the parade at the summertime Camas Days Festival, when reps from Georgia Pacific toss rolls of toilet paper at the crowd. Camas also places a high premium on its school system, which has won multiple state and national honors. And there are many ways to step up. The local Community Chest raised some $80,000 last year, for everything from swimming lesson scholarships to a nature conservation program for fifth graders. [MUSIC]

FORT RUCKER, Ala. (July 11, 2014) -- There are many ways people can learn new things and decompress after a hard day and the Fort Rucker Arts and Crafts Center's mission is to help people learn multiple skills and find peace of mind through crafts.
The center in Bldg. 9205 on Ruf Avenue provides opportunities for Families to spend time together, as well as for Soldiers to relieve stress.
"People can learn a new hobby here," said Joan Varner, arts and crafts center program manager. "They can leave with a certification that says they are qualified to do something. So when they go to their next duty station, they can walk in and utilize the shop instead of having to buy something."
The center offers many forms of learning and entertainment, from art classes to social events, and even though the building is undergoing major renovation, classes are still in full swing.
Basic framing classes are offered three times a week. Classes are $40 each, which includes all materials. People will walk out of the class with a completed piece.
Adult pottery wheel throwing classes are held once a month on Saturdays. Classes are $24. Patrons make three to four pieces and everything in the class is included. The next class will be held July 19 at 10 a.m.
There is a sewing class for $10 and it also includes everything. It is held several times a month on Saturdays from 1-3 p.m.
A woodshop safety class is offered every Saturday for $5 at 9 a.m., and there are also quilting classes, wood burning classes, ceramic classes, crafting classes, and a sip and paint class.
Pick-N-Paint, where people pick from ceramic items and paint them, is available during shop hours. Prices start at $5 an hour plus the item cost.
Most classes have age requirements and are by appointment only, so Varner asks that patrons sign up for all classes at least 24 hours before class time, with the exception of the regular woodshop safety class.
Varner added that if there is any craft that a patron wishes to learn, and a class is not offered, to contact the center and that someone will most likely be able to instruct them.
The center has a full engraving shop, which enables workers to engrave on almost anything besides the inside of a ring.
The center also has embroidery, sublimation and custom framing services.
"People can buy and engrave so much merchandise," said Varner. "We have a miniature Sgt. Ted E. Bear; silver, bronze and copper award eagles; different types of plaques for retirement and award ceremonies; trophies of all shapes and sizes; flask sets; personalized name blocks; and office desktop gifts.
"We do custom orders. There are literally hundreds of things people can buy and customize here," she continued.
All military personnel, their Families and those who work on the installation are allowed to use the facility.
"Families can come in here and our services can be utilized on a rainy day to keep their brains active. It is nice to do a Family project together," she said. "Or you can meet with a group of friends for a class."
People take pride in things they have made with their own hands, and learning a new craft is beneficial in a lot of ways, she added.
"It can be very therapeutic," she said. "When Soldiers come back from overseas, they need something to do besides just talking about it. Painting, framing and ceramics gives them something to do with their hands -- it can be great therapy for them."
The center is open Tuesdays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call 255-9020.

Just call them the Supportive Ex-Boyfriends Club: Wilmer Valderrama and DJ AM cheered on Mandy Moore from the VIP section at the Roxy in Los Angeles. The singer, who says she's still friendly with her former beaus, was performing material from her new album Wild Hope. During the concert, Moore paid tribute to her pop roots, closing her hour-long set with a folk-tinged take on her original hit single "Candy." After Moore finished, both Valderrama and DJ AM spent time chatting as the crowd filed out. Joining the two in the VIP section: Emmy Rossum, Sophia Bush, Heidi Montag and her fiancé Spencer Pratt.
Following the Los Angeles premiere of Transformers, star Tyrese Gibson celebrated with the film's director Michael Bay and Josh Henderson at Hollywood hotspot Winston's. An onlooker tells us that Bay was especially celebratory – is he anticipating a box-office smash? – and he wrapped his arms around his guests and bought everybody drinks. Meanwhile, the actors seemed involved with their group of friends, though they later migrated toward the bar.
At a packed Il Sole, newly legal Mary-Kate Olsen and sister Ashley, sipping Bellini cocktails while intently talking to each other throughout the meal. Following their dinner – they supped on salmon – the twins raced through the front door to their waiting Porsche. Meanwhile, across the restaurant, Ryan Seacrest dined with his mother and female friends, while at another table Charlize Theron and a female friend excitedly chatted over the Pappa al Pomodoro soup.
Guests at a private wedding at Florentine Gardens in River Vale, NJ, got a big treat recently: An impromptu (and YouTube worthy) performance by Bruce Springsteen. The Boss, a friend of the couple, jumped up on stage with Hank Lane Music – yes, the wedding band – strapped on a guitar and performed his song "If I Should Fall Behind." He then stayed up to join in for the Chuck Berry classic "C'Est La Vie," trading solos with the band's saxophonist and keyboardist. After his star turn onstage, Springsteen and his wife hit the dancefloor together.

With drought and what has become a yearlong wildfire season, some experts insist as many as 50 planes, large and small, are needed nationwide, said Bill Gabbert, a wildfire blogger, veteran firefighter and owner of the Wildfiretoday.com website.
"You need to have air tankers responding within 25 or 30 minutes to new fires so they can slow them down quickly so that firefighters on the ground can put them out," Gabbert said. "But we no longer have that capability. So initial attack by aerial resources is a quaint memory."
The result: More small fires that become mega-fires and are far more expensive to fight than if they'd been snuffed out early, he said.
"Sure, it's expensive to contract for air tankers. But it's more expensive to pay the tens of millions of dollars when a few of those fires become very large," Gabbert said.
Tragedy got the U.S. tanker plane fleet to its current state.
The fleet numbered 44 planes a decade ago. A series of high-profile crashes, including wings that fell off a privately-owned C-130 and a 1940s-era PB4Y-2 Privateer in midflight, caused the Forest Service to ground 33 air tankers in 2004.
The Lockheed P2Vs, with eight still in the firefighting fleet, also have a history of fatalities. A P2V crashed in Utah last week, killing two pilots. Since 1990, the Cold War-era submarine attack planes have crashed at least seven times, killing 16.
Across the West:
— Arizona: A 480-acre wildfire near the Grand Canyon was 70 percent contained. A 2,860-acre fire and a 200-acre fire near Superior east of Phoenix were 50 percent contained.
— Colorado: The 78-square-mile High Park fire west of Fort Collins was 10 percent contained. Gov. John Hickenlooper banned open burning and private use of fireworks. Authorities determined that six small wildfires near the Breckenridge Nordic Ski Center were intentionally set.
— New Mexico: The Little Bear fire, which has scorched 58 square miles and destroyed at least 224 homes in the Sierra Blanca range near Ruidoso, has been 40 percent contained but firefighting officials expressed concern about continued dry and sunny conditions.
— Washington: A wildfire burned about 1,500 acres of sagebrush and grass between Othello and Royal City in south-central Washington.

Chemotherapy may result in objective tumor shrinkage and delay the need for radiation therapy in most patients.[22,23,38,39] Chemotherapy is also an option that may delay or avoid radiation therapy in adolescents with optic nerve pathway gliomas.[40][Level of evidence: 3iiDii] Chemotherapy has been shown to shrink tumors in children with hypothalamic gliomas and the diencephalic syndrome, resulting in weight gain in those who respond to treatment.[41]
The most widely used regimens to treat tumor progression or symptomatic nonresectable, low-grade gliomas are the following:
- Carboplatin with or without vincristine.[22,23,42]
- Combination of thioguanine, procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine (TPCV).[39]; [43][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
The COG reported the results of a randomized phase III trial (COG-A9952) that treated children younger than 10 years with low-grade chiasmatic/hypothalamic gliomas using one of two regimens: carboplatin and vincristine (CV) or TPCV. The 5-year event-free survival rate was 39% ± 4% for the CV regimen and 52% ± 5% for the TPCV regimen.[43]
Other chemotherapy approaches have been employed to treat children with progressive low-grade astrocytomas, including multiagent, platinum-based regimens [23,38,44]; [45][Level of evidence: 2Diii] and temozolomide.[46,47] Reported 5-year PFS rates have ranged from approximately 35% to 60% for children receiving platinum-based chemotherapy for optic pathway gliomas,[23,38] but most patients ultimately require further treatment. This is particularly true for children who initially present with hypothalamic/chiasmatic gliomas that have neuraxis dissemination.[48][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiii]
Among children receiving chemotherapy for optic pathway gliomas, those without NF1 have higher rates of disease progression than those with NF1, and infants have higher rates of disease progression than do children older than 1 year.[23,38,44] Whether vision is improved with chemotherapy is unclear.[49,50][Level of evidence: 3iiiC]
Targeted therapy
For children with symptomatic subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs), agents that inhibit mTOR (e.g., everolimus and sirolimus) have been shown in small series to cause significant reductions in the size of these tumors, often eliminating the need for surgery.[51]; [52][Level of evidence: 2C]; [53][Level of evidence: 3iiiC] A multicenter, phase III, placebo-controlled trial of 117 patients confirmed these earlier findings; 35% of the patients in the everolimus group had at least a 50% reduction in the size of the SEGA, versus no reduction in the placebo group.[54][Level of evidence: 1iDiv] Whether reduction in size of the mass is durable, obviating the need for future surgery, is unknown.

Democrat Congressman Calls for OWS Investigation
Congressman Nadler was "especially troubled" by the NYPD's alleged mistreatment of journalists.
Democrat Jerrold Nadler of New York's 8th Congressional District has called on Attorney General Eric Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate allegations of police misconduct during Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City. In a letter to Holder, Nadler cited "troubling reports" of possible mistreatment toward both demonstrators and journalists.
The AP reports:
[Nadler] says there were reports of 'possible unlawful surveillance'of protesters' constitutionally protected activities and excessive use of force by New York Police Department officers. He says he was 'especially troubled' the NYPD 'aggressively blocked journalists' from reporting the Nov. 15 eviction of protesters from a Manhattan park they were occupying.
Ah, those pesky journalists and their questions. In the NYPD's defense, spokesman Paul Browne said that the department "accommodated" lawful protests and made arrests only after observing unlawful conduct, like, for example, threatening to burn down the city and launch Molotov cocktails at Macy's. The Department of Justice said it will review Nadler's letter.

40-year-old cheddar cheese to be sold in Wisconsin
The famed 40-year-old cheddar Edward Zahn found in his cheese shop.

Edward Zahn was cleaning out the walk-in cooler in his Oconto, Wisconsin-based County Line Cheese shop when he came upon a very happy accident: several boxes of cheddar cheese that had been repeatedly pushed back by new products over the years.
If it were almost any other foodstuff, Zahn's discovery would be more along the lines of a science experiment, but with cheese, a lot of it just gets better with age.
And Zahn's 40-year-old cheddar, as well as 34-year-old and 28-year-old cheddars he also found, are part of what is most likely the oldest collection of cheese ever assembled and sold to the public, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
Now, the cheeses will go on sale October 6 at the Wisconsin Cheese Mart in Milwaukee as part of the "Ultimate Wisconsin Cheddar Flight," a cheese-tasting event.
Ken McNulty, president of Wisconsin Cheese Mart, told the State Journal that he has approximately 20 pounds of the 40-year-old cheese and 120 pounds of the 34-year-old cheddar, though the latter will be sold at a later date.
The 40-year-old cheddar will be sold at $10 per ounce.
"It's the sharpest cheese I've ever tasted," McNulty told the State Journal.

Essay - Pediatric Nursing Nursing Interventions for Separation Anxiety in Childhood Separation...
Pediatric Nursing
***** interventions for separation anxiety in childhood
***** anxiety disorder (SAD) is a serious matter that concerns children and their caretakers. SAD can affect children of any age, although it is most common in children of preschool age (Pincus, Eyberg, & Choate, 2005). As the ***** prevalent ***** anxiety ********** in children, nurses are likely to encounter ***** with SAD whether they are pediatric nurses or not (Justus et al., 2006). Pediatric nurses may be part of a child's tre*****tment f***** *****, while other nurses may need ***** address a child's disorder while tre*****ting the child or the child's parent (Justus et al., 2006). For this reason, it is important for all nurses to be aware of SAD and how ***** can intervene when *****y encounter a child who requires intervention.
***** its name implies, children with SAD experience extreme anxi*****y when separated from a ***** of loved one (Fontain, 2003). Most often the loved on is a p*****rent. However, o*****r cases may include a different relative or primary care giver (Thomson, 2006). A child may be w*****ried that something bad will happen ***** the parent, or that the child himself will be hurt, kidnapped or killed in the ********** absence. Manifestation of ***** may be acute ***** insidious. ********** acute onset may occur ***** a specific incident, such ********** a car accident or illness of the parent or child. Such ********** make the child concerned that they will lose the parent, that the parent will die, or that ***** child ***** die if the parent leaves (Fontain, 2003; Justus et al., 2006). Justus et al. (2006) cite that ***** may also develop SAD ***** they are ill or in danger, such as when they are go*****g into surgery.
Symptoms and signs vary child to child. Signs ***** ***** may not be immediately recognized for what they are, especi*****y in young children who lack the communicative abilities to express ***** fears (Pincus et al., 2005 Sometimes a child may become physically ***** ***** separated from their loved one, resulting in vomit*****g, headache, s*****machache or other ailments common of stress reactions (Fontain, 2003; Hillard, 2006). Children with SAD want ***** ***** to stay ***** them at all times, even where impractical or illogical, such as at school or when sleeping (Hillard, *****). The affected child might follow a parent at c***** distan*****e, shadowing ***** as they go about other t*****ks. Additionally, the ***** might throw a tantrum, cry inconsolably, or act disruptively in a parent's absence (Pincus et al., 2005). Children who ***** explain themselves verbally are likely to express worry that their p*****nt could die at any time, not come back, or th***** someone might hurt them while ***** parent is away (Pincus et al., 2005).
Nurses have many options ***** handling a child with SAD, each contingent on the individual situation. If a child is being tre*****ted, nurses must attend ***** any needs that will make it easier for that treatment to occur. ***** ***** al. (2006)

CALLICOON — The Delaware Free Branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library will celebrate the opening of its newly renovated and expanded space from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Sept. 7.
This celebration will also highlight the 100th birthday of the building.
With grant funds from both the state and the county, as well as a generous donation from a patron, the library was able to install an elevator providing access to all three levels of the building. This permits expansion to the second floor to create a community room and technology center, and children's room on the lower level.
The current home of the Delaware Free branch is a historic building on Lower Main Street in Callicoon. Designed by William Kohler, Jones, Beers, & Co. of Binghamton, the building was constructed in 1913 to house the First National Bank of Callicoon, and later the United National Bank.
Through the generosity of Pauline Kautz, who contributed the purchase price of the building to the Delaware Free Library, along with funds for renovations, the library was able to move into its new home in December 1970. The library, founded in 1951, had outgrown its space on the second floor of the original Callicoon Firehouse.

Normally, I restart
httpd on my development "CentOS 6.5 (Final)" box using
service httpd restart, or
service httpd stop followed by
service httpd start if I'm feeling paranoid.
However, after weeks of searching, tweaking, updating, and recompiling a "broken" PHP module (SpiderMonkey) to no avail, I have on a whim started apache using
httpd -k start command -- and the module suddenly appears!
What's the difference? Can I correct the
service httpd start|stop|restart behavior?
NOTE: In my initial attempt to correct the problem, I installed
php55w from the webstatic repo. I'm assuming, had I had the whim prior to doing that, the solution (to restart using
httpd -k) would have solved the problem, since that's how apache is normally restarted in production (where the module works).

Gingrich Reconciles Cheating On His Wife While Harping On Family Values: 'It Doesn't Matter What I Do'
In his recently published book and in speaking engagements, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich repeatedly warns that President Obama's "secular, socialist machine" is threatening to destroy America by undermining the Judeo-Christian "values" upon which the country was built. But while Gingrich chastises the supposed erosion of values on the left, his past is tainted by his own contemptible value judgments, including numerous extra-marital affairs, and pressuring a divorce from his first wife while she lay stricken with cancer in a hospital bed.
In a new Esquire profile, Gingrich's second wife Marianne — whom he cheated on with his current wife, Callista — breaks her twelve year silence on her relationship with Gingrich to reveal a portrait of man who understood the deep hypocrisy of his actions, but simply didn't care:
He asked her to just tolerate the affair, an offer she refused.
He'd just returned from Erie, Pennsylvania, where he'd given a speech full of high sentiments about compassion and family values.
The next night, they sat talking out on their back patio in Georgia. She said, "How do you give that speech and do what you're doing?"
"It doesn't matter what I do," he answered. "People need to hear what I have to say. There's no one else who can say what I can say. It doesn't matter what I live."
Marianne, who was Gingrich's "closest advisor" during his reign in the 1990s, went on to say that Gingrich "believes that what he says in public and how he lives don't have to be connected." But of course, as Gingrich himself demanded when he led a crusade to impeach President Clinton for personal infidelity, politicians' private lives are inevitably connected to their public ones. Nonetheless, Gingrich has himself admitted to continuing his illicit affair with Callista — 23 years his junior — while simultaneously prosecuting Clinton's adultery.
Perhaps Gingrich has no qualms about committing the sins he rails against because he doesn't really believe in what he preaches. Esquire's John Richardson notes that despite Gingrich's apocalyptic rhetoric, when encountering radical conservative activists, Gingrich "over and over again…takes the long view and becomes the very soul of probity." "I wouldn't be able to describe what his real principles are," former Republican Rep. Mickey Edwards said of the former speaker. "I never felt that he had any sort of a real compass about what he believed except for the pursuit of power."

Jennifer Carpenter has a condition known as Bell's Palsy.
Bell's Palsy is a paralysis or weakness of the muscles on one side of your face. Damage to the facial nerve that controls muscles on one side of the face causes that side of your face to droop.
The nerve damage may also affect your sense of taste and how you make tears and saliva. This condition comes on suddenly, often overnight, and usually gets better on its own within a few weeks. Learn more this medical condition on WebMD.com.
Carpenter is best known for her role as Debra Morgan, Dexter Morgan's sister, on Showtime's hit show, Dexter. Carpenter was married to her Dexter costar, Michael C. Hall in 2009, but they divorced last year.
Good News! The Dexter alum recently welcomed her first child with fiance Seth Avett, she confirmed at CBS' Television Critics Association event.
Carpenter was at the TCAs to promote her new show, Limitless, based on the 2011 Bradley Cooper film of the same name. While on stage, she admitted she knew she was pregnant before she got the role. Read more at USMagazine.com.

Argerich and Schumann in All Their Glory
J Scott Morrison
on October 25, 2006
[Amazon's identifying data here indicates this DVD is in Region 2 format. My copy of this DVD, however, is in Region 0 format, meaning it is playable in all regions.]
First, the contents, in order as they appear of this all-Schumann DVD, not yet listed by Amazon:
Adagio & Allegro brillante (arr. Tchaikovsky)
Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54, with Martha Argerich, piano
'Von fremden Ländern und Menschen' (encore, Argerich)
Four Pieces from 'Carnaval' (arr. Maurice Ravel)
Symphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 120
with Riccardo Chailly, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
This is undoubtedly Argerich's show. The dressy audience in the Gewandhaus give her a thunderous ovation after the concerto and equally after her tiny encore ('Of foreign lands and people' from 'Kinderszenen.') Surely Argerich is the reigning diva of international pianists and she does not disappoint here. The concerto is brilliant as one would expect, but there is a lyrical geniality in her playing, too, which seems to be something relatively new for her. Time was when she could be counted primarily for pianistic fireworks; now there are fireworks but also a singing line that makes one's heart swell. She uses divided hands as always -- with the right hand often coming in subtly a micro-beat after the left, typical of old style pianists but not so often heard these days -- and her phrasing, with its agogics and rubato so delicately and unerringly applied, makes the music come alive. This is a marvelous traversal of this time-honored concerto. She makes the most of the rhythmic complexities, particularly those in the third movement, and the music comes out seeming fresher and more modern than it typically does. Still, Schumannesque gemütlichheit is in satisfying abundance. One is reminded again how Schumann used Beethoven as his model, with the short second movement leading without break in the finale (as Beethoven did in his Fourth Concerto) and the opening movement's main theme acting as the bridge into the finale, as is the case with Beethoven's Emperor Concerto. But Schumann's fingerprints are unmistakable throughout. For instance, the finale is in a graceful but energetic triple time that in the middle section alters accents so that it sounds as if in duple time, a place where conductors and orchestras famously come to grief (as Mendelssohn did in the concerto's premiere). It creates no problems here for Chailly and the Gewandhaus; indeed, this is a breathtaking wind-up to this so-familiar concerto. If I had to characterize this performance in one word, and it surprises me to do so if only because I'm comparing it with Argerich's previous CD recording with Harnoncourt, it would be 'sunny.' A lovely performance, worth having.
The concert opens with an arrangement by Tchaikovsky of the Adagio and the Allegro brillante from Schumann's solo piano work, 'Études symphoniques.' I'd never heard it before. While one can admire Tchaikovsky's skill as an orchestrator (and at times it does indeed sound like Tchaikovsky rather than Schumann) it also reminds one of how Tchaikovsky's own music sometimes owes something to Schumann. The Gewandhausorchester sounds rich and full here.
After Argerich's hushed encore, greeted with equally hushed but intense appreciation by the audence, another orchestration of Schumann piano music pops up, that by Ravel of four pieces from 'Carnaval' (listed as 1. Préambule. Quasi maestoso - Più moto - Animato - Vivo - Presto; 2. Valse allemande. Molto vivace; 3. Intermezzo. Paganini. Presto; 4. Marche des 'Davidsbündler' contre les Philistins. Non allego - Molto più vivo - Animato - Vivo - Animato moto - Vivo - Più stretto). Again, I had never heard these orchestrations before. Having myself played 'Carnaval' at the piano, I had some difficulty making the switch to the orchestral timbres, but once I did I realized what a creative and apt job Ravel made of his orchestration. This should come as no surprise as he was one of the twentieth century's master orchestrators. Chailly is in tune with the lightning fast tempo and mood changes in this so-Romantic collection of character pieces.
Schumann's Fourth Symphony, written in 1841, was actually his second to be written but since he made revisions in 1851, after the Second and Third had been premiered, it has since been listed as the last of his symphonies. Brahms had the 1841 version published in the 1890s but it is the 1851 version we hear here. This symphony can have muddy textures if not lightened up either by very careful orchestral voicing or by re-orchestration (most famously done by Mahler). I am fairly sure this is the original orchestration, but the performance does not suffer from clotted textures as performed here. The work begins with one of Schumann's subtlest masterstrokes -- a five-octave A that begins on beat 3 of a 3/4 measure and then is held for three further measures. Its beginning on the last beat of a measure, which the listener without a score will not perceive as such, sets up a subtle uncertainty when one finally hears a downbeat. Schumann, of the composers of his time, had an almost unique ability to set up a slightly tense anticipation in the listener with the minutest of means. It is touches like this that mark out the genius composer.
Since coming to the Gewandhaus only a couple of years ago, Chailly has taken the orchestra into more refined regions of playing. They were a mini-Berlin Philharmonic, very Germanic if a bit leaner, under Masur, and were somewhat Americanized under Blomstedt. Under Chailly they seem to be coming into their own and it is a blessing that we are now getting numbers of CDs and, importantly, DVDs of the group. Also, they seem to have more and more younger players and this appears to be all to the good. Brass are particularly good, tending to be much more subtle than anything heard in the past. The string sound has been richened. Indeed, I find no weak sections in the orchestra and am heartened by that.
This is from a live concert that occurred only four months before the DVD was issued! And in the 1981 Gewandhaus -- the third in a series of concert halls with the name -- with its marvelous architecture and fine acoustics. Sound is state-of-the art and available in PCM Stereo, DD 5.1 or DTS 5.1. Videography is crystal clear and focuses, often in closeup, primarily on the musicians (always a plus for me) but there is plenty of opportunity to observe both Argerich and Chailly.
This DVD is a keeper.

The status of tropical glaciers is enormously important to our understanding of past, present, and future climate change, yet lack of continuous quantitative records of alpine glacier extent on the highest mountains of tropical East Africa prior to the 20th century has left the timing and drivers of recent glacier recession in the region equivocal. Here we investigate recent changes (the last 150–700 years) in lacustrine sedimentation, glacier extent, and biogeochemical processes in the Rwenzori Mountains (Uganda- Democratic Republic of Congo) by comparing sedimentological (organic and siliciclastic component determined by loss-on-ignition; LOI) and organic geochemical profiles (carbon and nitrogen abundance, ratio, and isotopic composition of sedimentary organic matter) from lakes occupying presently glaciated catchments against similar profiles from lakes located in catchments lacking glaciers. The siliciclastic content of sediments in the 'glacial lakes' significantly decreases towards the present, whereas 'non-glacial lakes' generally show weak trends in their siliciclastic content over time, demonstrating that changes in the siliciclastic content of glacial lake sediments primarily record fluctuations in glacier extent. Radiometric dating of our sediment cores indicates that prior to their late 19th-century recession Rwenzori glaciers stood at expanded 'Little Ice Age' positions for several centuries under a regionally dry climate regime, and that recession was underway by 1870 AD, during a regionally wet episode. These findings suggest that the influence of late 19th century reductions in precipitation in triggering Rwenzori glacier recession is weaker than previously thought. Our organic geochemical data indicate that glacier retreat has significantly affected carbon cycling in Afroalpine lakes, but trends in aquatic ecosystem functioning are variable among lakes and require more detailed analysis.

Chow Good Clams, Bad Gumbo
posted by June 4 at 8:40 AMon
Sometimes a restaurant surprises you—in a good way. Take this plate of steamed clams at the Red Door in Fremont. I've had plenty of burgers at the Red Door… and a few dozen beers… but I never ordered anything off the menu at the Red Door 'cept their burgers. I love steamers—a big bowl of clams, steamed in butter and wine—but there's nothing worse than a bad bowl of steamed clams (well, maybe leukemia), and since Red Door didn't seem like a good bet for clams, I stuck with the burgers.
But a coupled of Friday's ago I was at the Red Door and I wasn't in the mood for a burger so I decided to take a chance on the steamers. And, goddamnit, they were the best damned steamed clams I'd ever had. Here's hoping it wasn't a fluke because I'm going back for more.
Sometimes, though, a place surprises you in a bad way. I'm a big fan of the Virginia Inn on 1st Avenue. The place was non-smoking before non-smoking was cool (sorry, I mean "legally mandated"), and it's a great place to have a beer and some good, cheap, fast bar chow. I'm a fan of the quiche—yeah, yeah—but I particularly love the gumbo at the Virginia Inn. Over the last decade I've probably eaten enough gumbo at the Virginia Inn to fill a couple of fifty gallon drums.
The Virginia Inn's menu promises a bowl "chock-full of sausage and chicken," and it lists the gumbo, which is just $9, as an entree. So, like, it's supposed to be dinner, you know? And it's usually pretty filling—dump some Tabasco sauce in, scoop it on to the delicious bread they serve with it, and you're set. But, man, last Friday I stopped by the Virginia Inn and my not-quite-full bowl of gumbo came with just two lonely, paper-thin slices of sausage and not one recognizable bit of chicken. By the time I rode my bike home I was starving again. But here's this weekend's gumbo was a fluke, because I'll be back for more.
Anyway… I just wanted to share. Because when you've had a surprising experience in a restaurant—good surprise or bad—you wanna let people know, you know?
Have we mentioned that the Stranger's restaurant listing now have reader reviews? We have, and they do. Did you have a good experience? A bad one? Let people know.

text: Avanir Pharmaceuticals Another under-$10 name in the biotechnology and drugs complex that's trading very close to triggering a near-term breakout trade is Avanir Pharmaceuticals ( AVNR). This is a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the treatment of central nervous system disorders. This stock has is off to a hot start so far in 2012, with shares up over 50%. If you take a look at the chart for Avanir Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that this stock was hammered by the sellers off its July high of $4.05 to its recent low of $2.76 a share. During that sharp move lower, shares of AVNR were consistently making lower highs and lower lows, which is bearish technical price action. That said, during the last month shares of AVNR have formed a triple bottom chart pattern at $2.76, $2.78 and $2.80 a share. This stock is also now setting up to trigger a near-term breakout trade, as it starts to make higher highs. Market players should look for long-biased trades in AVNR if it can manage to trigger a break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.14 to $3.20 a share with high volume. Look for volume off a sustained move or close above those levels that tracks in close to or near its three-month average action of 1.2 million shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then AVNR will have a great chance of soaring and possibly re-testing or taking out its July high of $4.05 a share. Traders can look to get long AVNR off weakness, and simply use a stop near its 200-day moving average of $2.89 a share, or down near $2.80 a share. One could also get long once AVNR clears $3.14 to $3.20 with high volume, and then simply use a stop that sits just below $3 a share. Keep in mind that any high-volume move above $3.20 will mean that AVNR has cleared its 50-day moving average, which is bullish technical price action. This stock has big potential for a major move if it breaks out soon since it also happens to be a favorite of the short-sellers. The current short interest as a percentage of the float for AVNR is extremely high at 15.6%. If AVNR breaks out soon with volume, then we could easily see a monster short-squeeze develop, so be ready. Prev 4 of 6 Next

First issue of my perzine, & Octopus is out!
16 black and white pages handwritten and illustrated. Topics include kitchen electronics, hair days, clothing habits, mock zodiac forecasts, a simple recipe, and more!
Contact me for a copy at $2.45 each (postage included) or get one through my Etsy shop: http://windowfog.etsy.com
More views available on my WMZ album or on Etsy.
Trans/Genderqueer Zine Project Call For Submissions
Topic: Essays, anecdotes, comix, collage, & poetry from trans and genderqueer folks telling stories of adolescence and puberty. Take that as broadly or narrowly as you'd like; literally how your body was changing and how your brain was dealing with it, or going to a dance and how that made you feel, to coming out to your family, friends, teachers & classmates.
Audience: 7-12th grade students.
Specifics: The pieces should be free of cursing and super overt sexual content.
Why/Purpose: Puberty and adolescence are hard for everyone but it's extra alienating and difficult when you feel alone and or radically different from everyone else. I want this zine to be an offering to trans and gender queer kids who need to see themselves in print, to know that they are not alone. I want the stories to offer comfort and hope to some young people who may be struggling. I would like the zine to be a resource for trans and gender queer students and a way to open the eyes and hearts of cisgendered students, parents, and teachers.
Send submissions to email@example.com
Please send as a basic word document with "Zine Submission" in the subject line. Art submissions should be 300 dpi scans or for bitmap line art 600 or more.
Send submissions by June 1, 2011. Feel free to e-mail me at email@example.com with any questions.
Pieces 6.5 & My Aim is True 5
Perzine 1/4 size : 82 pages
This is a split with my friend Carrie and while we tell two very different stories about body issues, there are many underlying threads that are the same. Pieces covers a long-waged battle against acne. My Aim is True covers a struggle with weight. Both are about the need for self-acceptance, self-love, and the people who helped get us there.
Available for $2 or trade.
neither doll houses nor tree houses: on living outside of the gender binary
finished in under 24 hours for the chicago zine fest, this zine focuses on the ups and downs of finding myself outside of the gender binary and attempts to both de- and re-construct various questions about my own gender as well as gender in general. three separate sections discuss feeling pushed out of femininity, how masculinity is viewed as inherent and femininity is viewed as a fictitious performance, how striving for the "perfect balance" of two genders is not plausible nor an adequate solution, acceptance or tolerance (or neither) that i feel in specific spaces, how my radical friends misgender and disrespect me more often than my non-radical ones, the (non-) accessibility of queer jargon and language, how coming out has garnered me the most intense gender assumptions yet, dealing with friends who don't "get it", my desire to validate my own identity without stepping on the identity of others, and checking white privilege. 32 pgs, ½ size, b&w. $2-3 or trade. message me or e-mail youvegotafriendinpa (at) gmail (dot) com for more info!
I've done a zine review vlog for Spill the Zines, in which I review This Is Water #3, Adventures in Menstruating #3, Graduating Into Unemployment, and Morgenmuffel #19 - check it out and let me know what you think!
I do diary-comic zines, usually about travels. Recently they seem to just be about my biannual trips to Malta to try help migrating birds not get shot (1. in Spring 2011, 2. in Autumn 2011). I'll happily trade, and I will do a 3rd one this April. Some details at http://zine-it-yourself.blogspot.com/2011/09/maltazine-2-images.html
Making a zine about birthday experiences. Deadline 28th Feb. Anyone feel like contributing? www.wingedsnail99.blogspot.com
"Not 'Queer' as in 'Radical' but 'Lesbian' as in Fuck You," is follow up to "Reimagining Queer Community," a twenty-four hour perzine I made in July, 2011. Since July, I have continued mulling over nuanced, and often controversial, questions regarding my association with the lgbt community at large. "Not 'Queer' as in 'Radical' but 'Lesbian' as in Fuck You" is a perzine that explores my recent decision to use the word "lesbian" as a substitution for "queer." I also talk about male domination and sex-right in supposedly "sex positive" queer spaces, the perpetuation of misogynistic troupes and devaluation of lesbian identities within "progressive" and "feminist" communities, owning up to & attempting to combat transphobia that has historically emanated from within lesbian spaces, and queer as hierarchical social capital.

Injured Horton skates for Bruins ahead of Game 2

stirandsavor: I thought Americans were promised shovel ready jobs? I thought if you liked your doctor you could keep your doctor. Home sales are down the lowest in 50 years. The education quality is the lowest it's been since I can remember, and rated much lower in comparison to more countries. Companies are still leaving or laying off in this country Microsoft over 3000. More and more states are have financial problems, they are taxing or looking of ways to tax their residents like never before due to crumbling infrastructure and maintenance, mismanagement and underfunded pension funds and blackballing due to new regulations from the federal government for such things as transgender bathrooms. The spendthrift current administration will look like a thrifty administration if Hillary Rotten Clinton gets in office. The Democrat purchased media show was just that, a production fantasy show of false promises to enhance the voters hope from their current dismal reality. The Democrat Party uses race enslavement and dependency today versus the Democrat pro segregation tools they used in the past. Foreign policy, a complete disaster, created and micromanaged bv Obama and Hillary Rotten Clinton starting with the Arab Spring, leaving the chaos to future generations. Clinton and others focus in on your kids future, at this rate the pie will have a crust with no filling as the new and growing number of bureaucrats will consume the filling. before hand. Hillary Clinton is about bigger and bigger government and more and more of your and your kids taxes to pay for the empty American pie. Kruechef said in the early 1960's America will destroy itself within. Hillary Rotten Clinton is no Margaret Thatcher......not even close.

People with this condition typically experience night blindness and other vision problems, including loss of sharpness (reduced visual acuity), severe nearsightedness (myopia), nystagmus, and strabismus. Color vision is typically not affected. These vision problems are usually evident at birth, but tend to be stable (stationary) over time. There are two major types of XLCSNB: the complete form and the incomplete form. Both types have very similar signs and symptoms. However, everyone with the complete form has night blindness, while not all people with the incomplete form have night blindness. The types are distinguished by their genetic cause.[1]X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (XLCSNB) is a disorder of the

On Friday we were up with the sparrows again to ensure being first on our intended route, "Mariakante" , 5.8ish, 8 pitches on Pordoispitze. This is the view of Punta Grohmann (3000+m) and the Funffingerspitzen (which is quite fun to pronounce)
Good sign, no cars in the parking lot at the top of Pordoi Pass. We headed up to the hut on the big mountain on the left (Pordoispitze)
On the nearly one hour approach hike
Marmolada (big, glaciated peak on left)
Panorama looking down on Pordoi Pass
We started the route at 7:30am. By far we were fhe first people on the route--we didn't see any other cars pull into the lot until nearly 9:00am
The first pitch was tricky off the ground, then cruiser, then loose at the end.
All the belays on this route were equipped with a beefy cemented bolt and rings
Looking up the next four pitches. It climbs the face to the right of the big roof on the left up there
A bit ledgy and loose on the second pitch
We linked P3 and P4
Allison on P3
The traverse on the fifth pitch
On the nice belay ledge at the top of P5
The sixth pitch traverse over to, and across, a gully so I had a good view looking back at Allison. Can you see her in there?
View of Punta Grohmann and Funffingerspitze and Piz Ciavaces
Many thread opportunities on the upper pitches
Following P7
Belay at the top of P8
For the final 200m we unroped and scrambled to the summit which goes straight to the restaurant and tram station
We had a group of tourists watching us and taking our pictures from the guardrail above as wel scrambled up the final bowl.
Fritz on the other side of the rail
We topped out around 10:30am in time for cappuccino on the deck
Looking down the final bowl we ascended
A self-timer shot with the camera set on the railing. Sella Pass is just out of frame on the left.
One of the easiest descents ever...the 6 euro tram!
Looking back at the route and summit hut. The route we climbed goes up the detached pillar on the left and then crosses at the notch to the main walll and up
In the afternoon we went for a hike at Sella Pass. This is looking back down towards Canazei
First Sella Tower
Allison looks across to the NW face of Pordoispitze. A 26 pitch 5.7 ascends the face just to the right of Allison. Need to come back.
First Sella Tower again. Lots of flowers!
The Three Sella Towers (3,2,1 from left to right)

Is there a way to add a product subtitle/subheading on a single product page just below the product title?
At the moment I have the regular image on the left and product title/price/add to cart on the right. I'd like to add a short product subheading below the product title (in a bold font e.g.. Heading 2 style).
For example, now I have:

Froch doesn't receive as much media attention as the other British fighters do and he doesn't like it. He's always been very critical of Khan and I remember him saying something about Haye?
At least he's shut up about Calzaghe now.

He doesnt like the fact that khan gets paid more then him, bigger fanbase and generally well known by everyone in the UK.
Froch gets alot of hate even in his hometown, he didnt even get to rep his town holding the olypic tourch!
His awful attempts to call out calzaghe is what most people associate him with.
The papers hardly mentioned the bute win but you can bet khan gets mentioned fighting a club fighter.
Pure and simple jealousy.

I'd be mad too if somebody who put in less than half the work I put in gets three times as much attention.
Too bad, even though Khan did the chicken dance twice and will probably go on to face weak opposition, Froch won't get as much recognition.

It is a bit stange as most of the British fighters support eachother. Especially ones in different weight divisions who aren't in competition with eachother.
I think it started with a comment Froch made a while back? Can't quite remember what was said though.

Froch doesn't really like any British fighters apart from himself lol, He feels like Khan hasnt paid his dues with all the attention/money that he (Khan) gets but you get what comes your way, Am sure Khan would say him traveling around at 15-16 to get qualification for the Olympics and then being the only british boxer good enough to qualify and represent our country at the Olympics is paying his dues.

Froch is honestly a very boring fighter to watch, with Khan you get pure excitement cuz with him you never know if he is going to get KO'd or if he is going to KO his opponent, its like watching Rocky 3
Froch is just a tosser, i dont see his love for the sport, talks a lot and he got beat by a man with one arm

Think Froch said something about him a while back and it all escalated from there.
To be honest I think Froch is jealous of the attention Khan has received in his career. One thing I agreed with Angel Garcia was when he said Khan won a Silver medal and we turned him into a star over here. Khan had endorsements spilling out his arse before his first title win and all the TV coverage.
I'm not saying Khan hasn't paid his dues (because I think he has) but he definitely got a lot of exposure/attention too early in his career. But it's not like that's his fault but jesus who has an amateur fight broadcast on ITV the way Khan did before he turned pro.
Froch feels he had to come up the hard way to an extent and even though he's getting more coverage and exposure now, it's still not as big as a David Haye or Amir Khan.
To be honest if I was Froch I'd be pretty pissed too. A guy who I'm better than and fought better competition than, gets more exposure/praise.
