Veterans exposed to explosions may be at risk for dementia
A generation of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans exposed to explosions may be at risk for early-onset dementia, according to a new study that looked at the autopsied brains of four former combat servicemembers and four athletes.
Scientists said their work showed evidence of a progressive degenerative brain disorder known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a disease found in recent years among deceased professional football players who had suffered multiple concussions.
What researchers said was particularly alarming was evidence that the disorder could result from exposure to a single blast and that several hundred thousand U.S. troops may have suffered concussions in Iraq and Afghanistan, most of them from exposure to blasts.
"Ramifications are that these hundreds of thousands of military personnel are at risk for this disorder. It doesn't mean by any means that they all have or will get it. But they are at risk for it," says Ann McKee, a Department of Veterans Affairs scientist and co-author of the study in Science Translational Medicine.
The study findings were based on comparing brain autopsies of four Iraq and Afghanistan veterans with four young athletes, as well as studying mice exposed to a simulated blast.
Army and Navy brain-trauma scientists who treat or study soldiers and Marines who suffer combat brain injuries applauded the study for focusing attention on CTE, but questioned some of the conclusions.
Given the limited number of brain autopsies performed in the study, Army Col. Geoffrey Ling cautioned against sweeping conclusions about risks to veterans in the future. Navy Cmdr. Jack Tsao noted that most of the deceased veterans had also suffered concussions from blows to the head, calling into question whether blast exposure was the true cause of long-term damage.
Daniel Perl, professor of pathology and a neuropathologist at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, says the findings will certainly spur more research. "It's not the whole story. It's just the beginning, and it raises a whole number of additional questions that will need to be answered. But it is important," says Perl, who is creating a lab to study the brains of deceased troops who suffered combat concussions.
Progression of CTE — marked by memory loss, suicidal thoughts and aggression — is slow, but appears irreversible after eight to 10 years, with the prospect of early dementia within a few decades, the scientists say.
"We need to find some answers quickly so that we can treat veterans, military personnel, before anything gets worse," says Lee Goldstein, a scientist with Boston University and lead author.
The four veterans whose brains were autopsied served in Iraq or Afghanistan. Their average age was 32. All showed signs of CTE, the study says.
Two died of burst blood vessels in the brain, one from a pain medication overdose and the fourth from suspected suicide. Three had mild traumatic brain injuries from roadside bomb blasts, and one had several concussions, but none caused by a blast.
To support their autopsy findings, researchers studied the effects of a single blast on the brains of mice. The study of mice exposed to a simulated blast led McKee and Goldstein to conclude that supersonic blast waves caused by expanding gas from a detonation can lead to brain injury.
A "blast wind" of 330 mph whips the brain about violently, damaging cells and blood vessels and triggering a cascade of events that lead to a destructive buildup of a tau protein in the brain — evidence of CTE. "You may be getting in one blast exposure the equivalent of multiple hits on the playing field," Goldstein says.

As the photos show, its barrel lug is cracked, the lug that anchors the ejector rod. We believe it is still functional, but we are selling it at a loss because of this problem. Like all double action revolvers, it has a transfer bar internal safety that prevents accidental firing if it is dropped. Construction is all steel, double or single action revolver, capacity 6 rounds of .38 Special standard or +P ammunition; 4 inch heavy barrel with matte barrel rib and frame top ; .400 serrated spur target hammer with matching smooth faced combat trigger; and lanyard device on the butt of the grip frame. This Taurus 82 is an overseas security agency, and Century Arms's import stamp is on the frame, as required by U.S. Law. From its 500,000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 1979 or 1980. Surface detractions are extensive; principally browning to the trigger and hammer sides and to the thumb latch; and with extensive browning, whitening, and freckling. We rate it as Good, 60 to 70 percent vicinity finishwise by our estimate; but photos ought to suffice for our shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Apart from the issue with the cylinder rod lug on the barrel, it appears mechanically sound; the cylinder shows 1 or 2mm of lateral play, but times correctly both in single and double action. Bore, cylinder chambers, and mechanism are clean and excellent. We're offering the Taurus 4 inch blue model 82 in the photo for only $ 129.00.

Job Description for Regional Facilities Manager
Many large companies have a great number of locations and sales outlets for which they need regional facilities managers. These managers are responsible for supervising the condition and upkeep of existing stores and outlets and may also work on the construction of new stores within their region, which may involve remodeling, renovation, or capital improvements.Read More...
Companies typically divide responsibilities for their stores and facilities by region, and regional facilities managers help secure contracted services such as cleaning, parking, landscaping, and utilities for each location within their radius.

The manager may receive feedback on contracted services and seek out new competitive bids in order to improve service at his/her locations and keep costs low.
Regional facilities managers also assist with major purchases and installations; managers of fast food chains for example, may replace inoperable kitchen fixtures and appliances. They may also supervise larger capital improvements for particular locations and work with company designers and architects on new construction/remodeling efforts and help coordinate and supervise these processes.
Applicants for the position should have a background within the industry of their potential employer/s. Practical experience in construction management and a university degree in an administrative field may be minimum requirements of some employers.

If you like the photos with the diffused/fog like look it is very easy to do. Take a plastic sandwich baggie and cut the end off then slip it over your lens. You can then move the bag around as you like letting just a bit hang over into the lens view. Just play around with it a bit to get the feel of it. It's a lot of fun!

Easiest Shawl Pattern Ever: Yarn over and knit to the end. I found it on You Tube, it's by laylock. I started the same shawl about a year ago when I really did not know enough about knitting. Yes even though it is the easiest shawl ever. I think she is knitting left handed or somehow different than I do so I couldn't follow the video and I didn't even know what a yarnover was. And I was using my cabled knitting needles wrong. So now we are off to the races again.
The yarn is from Michael's Art's and Crafts store. I can't remember the name or anything about it. Pretty sure I threw away the label. Now I know not too. I think I will start keeping them in baggies with any bits of leftover yarn.
Mmm whaaad you say Willis?

Inspired to continue on and not give up because learning to knit has not been as easy for me as I would like it to be. About a week ago I came across a most beautiful blog called, Little Cotton Rabbits, by Julie Williams. The header and her photographs are peaceful and gorgeous. They are inspiring. At first I was a little intimidated by the things she knits. She is what I would call a "real" knitter. I've only knit a few simple scarves and hats so far.
That is until now! After looking at her section of free patterns I decided to try one and I'm so glad that I did. This Itty Bitty Dress is what I decided to try. I had to how to learn how to yfon – yarn forward on needle, and ssk- slip slip knit. I also had to purl into the back of next stitch which sounds so easy but I think I must have done something wrong somewhere as both of the itty bitty dresses I made had armhole mistakes.
The little purple dress is the one with that seems to have two armholes stacked on top of each other or next to each other, something odd but once it is on the doll you can't tell. I also made a larger version for a larger doll that my granddaughter wanted one for. The blue dress has four armholes, two next to each other! Oh well no one will really notice those either. At least I am not knitting clothes in order to keep myself or a family member from being naked.
I do hope "real" knitters everywhere don't shudder if they see that I blocked my itty bitty dress on a kitchen towel. I don't have a blocking pad yet. One has to block their knitting to guide it into the exact right shape. Or rather to stay in the right shape. For example the bottom of the itty bitty dress would have stayed curled up if I had not blocked it. To block knitting or crochet you just dampen the piece and pin it to a foam type pad that is covered in lightweight rubber. At least I think that is what it looks like to me from the photos I have seen. I was not about to invest in anything else until I knew I could knit more elaborate things other than simple hats and scarves. I never blocked any of those. I don't think you have to block most hats and scarves but I may be wrong.
A huge thanks to Julie Williams for inspiring me and helping me with a question that I had.
Also to these You Tube videos for helping me learn some of these new stitches: Pepperly, Rowan Yarns. There are so many videos available on You Tube you have to watch various ones to find a teacher who is a good fit for you. Don't just watch one or two and give up if they don't work for you. Try a lot more and go back on different days as more are added all the time. If you are an aspiring knitter don't give up! Get comfortable with one thing at a time then move on to something else. On and on up the knitter ladder.
P.S. If anyone knows where the spell check has disappeared to please let me know. Thank you.

Choice Section
How was your experience?
"Hundred Days" was an auditory delight, even in the first, incomplete preview. The female lead stood out among the singers, with a vocal repertoire running from adult contemporary to classic rock. As for the instrumental musicians, where else but at Z Space does an audience get to sit less than a hundred feet away from a cellist, an electric guitar player, a drummer and a DJ, all working together to enhance the telling of a story? The story is about a young couple who have only a short time to enjoy their marriage, for the husband is terminally ill. The playwrights/composers/leads are themselves married, but they employ a fascinating device to create perspective: having a second pair of actors perform some vignettes from the lives of the young couple. The Artistic Director of Z Space came out to introduce the preview, and offered all of us complimentary tickets to the finished show. I can't wait!

Airline Mergers:
Issues Raised by the Proposed Merger of United and Continental Airlines
GAO-10-778T: Published: May 27, 2010. Publicly Released: May 27, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4431
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Earlier this month, United Air Lines (United) and Continental Airlines (Continental) announced plans to merge the two airlines and signed a merger agreement. This follows the acquisition of Northwest Airlines by Delta Air Lines (Delta) in 2008, which propelled Delta to become the largest airline in the United States. This latest merger, if not challenged by the Department of Justice (DOJ), would surpass Delta's merger in scope to create the largest passenger airline in terms of capacity in the United States. The passenger airline industry has struggled financially over the last decade, and these two airlines believe a merger will strengthen them. However, as with any proposed merger of this magnitude, this one will be carefully examined by DOJ to determine if its potential benefits for consumers outweigh the potential negative effects. At the Committee's request, GAO is providing a statement for the record that describes (1) an overview of the factors that are driving mergers in the industry, (2) the role of federal authorities in reviewing merger proposals, and (3) key issues associated with the proposed merger of United and Continental. To address these objectives, GAO drew from previous reports on the potential effects of the proposed merger between Delta and Northwest and the financial condition of the airline industry, and analyzed Department of Transportation (DOT) airline operating and financial data.
As GAO has previously reported, airlines seek to merge with or acquire other airlines to increase their profitability and financial sustainability, but must weigh these potential benefits against operational costs and challenges. The principal benefits airlines consider are cost reductions--by combining complementary assets, eliminating duplicate activities, and reducing capacity--and increased revenues from higher fares in existing markets and increased demand for more seamless travel to more destinations. Balanced against these potential benefits are operational costs of integrating workforces, aircraft fleets, and systems. DOJ's antitrust review is a critical step in the airline merger and acquisition process. DOJ uses an integrated analytical framework set forth in the Horizontal Merger Guidelines to determine whether the merger poses any antitrust concerns. Under that process, DOJ assesses the extent of likely anticompetitive effects of reducing competition in the relevant markets--in this case, between cities or airports. DOJ further considers the likelihood that airlines entering these markets would counteract any anticompetitive effects. It also considers any efficiencies that a merger or acquisition could bring--for example, consumer benefits from an expanded route network. Finally, it examines whether one of the airlines proposing to merge would fail and its assets exit the market in the absence of a merger. One of the most important issues in this merger will be its effect on competition in the airline industry. For example, GAO's analysis of 2009 ticket data showed that combining these airlines would result in a loss of one effective competitor (defined as having at least 5 percent of total traffic between airports) in 1,135 markets (called airport pairs) affecting almost 35 million passengers while creating a new effective competitor in 173 airport pairs affecting almost 9.5 million passengers. However, in all but 10 of these airports pairs there is at least one other competitor.

The people of Haiti have suffered enormously in the aftermath of the earthquake in 2010. At the same time, their creativity, faith, hope and joy continue to lead them into a more gracious future. Yet, we are all diminished by the reality of the situation in Haiti. Reconstruction has been painfully slow, funds promised by other nations have not yet been paid or paid in full, and many, many people still live in tents.
The Diocese of Haiti has been serving the people of Haiti with schools (with more than 250 of them back in operation a few short months after the earthquake), with medical facilities and the beginnings of spiritual and cultural healing. The partnership of Episcopal Relief & Development has helped to provide shelter, clean water and some employment. The Episcopal Church as a whole is partnering to help the Diocese of Haiti rebuild the cathedral complex in Port-au-Prince. Before the earthquake, that complex included not only the cathedral with its world famous murals (three have been conserved), but a music school and philharmonic orchestral, a vocational school, a convent, and diocesan offices. Partnerships have helped to provide necessary infrastructure for strategizing and planning the redevelopment work.
The Episcopal Church as a whole has had its heart expanded in the support and partnership with our sisters and brothers in Haiti. I encourage you to continue your prayers, your active partnership in fundraising, and the solidarity that comes from learning about the situation and caring about the future. We all begin to experience more abundant life in caring for our neighbors. I give thanks for the treasure that is Haiti, and urge the faithful accompaniment of the whole Episcopal Church with Haiti!

SAN DIEGO -- As Barry Bonds slouched in a chair in the middle of the visitors' clubhouse and spoke with reporters, 10 policemen and numerous security guards mustered outside to make sure the slugger had a safe exit from Petco Park.
So ended the first road trip of the season for Bonds and the San Francisco Giants, who beat the San Diego Padres 3-1 on Wednesday night as Matt Morris made a strong debut.
"Matt Morris pitched a great game, guys got some key hits and I didn't really have much to do with it," Bonds said. "I just wish we scored earlier and not put that much pressure on him."
Bonds reached base three times without getting a hit and scored once.
Although Bonds was booed every time he came to bat, he took less grief from the fans than he did on Monday, when he was booed mercilessly and had a syringe thrown at him.
A security guard stood on top of the Giants' dugout after each half-inning on a cold Wednesday night, when there were 20,000 fewer fans in the stands than on opening day. The Padres closed a standing-room-only area just beyond the left-field corner because of what one team executive said was unruly fan behavior on Monday.
Bonds said the only distraction to him was the media, although several in the scrum that surrounded him after the game were associated with his cable reality show.
Morris held the Padres to five hits and a run in 6 1-3 innings. Shawn Estes, a former Giants pitcher, lost his Padres debut by allowing three runs in the sixth even though the Giants hit the ball out of the infield just once.
San Diego's Adrian Gonzalez had three hits, including a homer leading off the seventh.
Omar Vizquel slapped Estes' first pitch of the sixth into left field. Ray Durham's comebacker hit the front of Estes' left cleat and bounced into the air for an infield single.
"I'd like to take things back that inning, but there are no mulligans in baseball," Estes said.
Bonds walked to load the bases, with the left-handed Estes throwing several inside pitches.
Estes fielded Moises Alou's two-bouncer and probably could have thrown out Vizquel at the plate. He appeared to hesitate, but said he couldn't get a grip on the ball, and Alou was safe with an RBI infield single.
"I wish I could have that ball back that Alou hit because I think we would have gotten the guy at home if I would have been able to get the handle on it," Estes said. "Unfortunately I wasn't able to and it led to three runs."
Estes walked Lance Niekro, forcing in another run, and Bonds scored on a double play.
Bonds reached base leading off the second and fourth innings, and was stranded each time.
Estes hit Bonds with a pitch on his right elbow guard in the second.
"There's not a whole lot of room for error in there," Estes said. "You hit him; if you don't, you have about six inches of air to work with. If you don't get it in there, he hits it really hard somewhere."
Bonds reached in the fourth on a throwing error by rookie second baseman Josh Barfield. With the Padres playing the "Bonds shift," where all the fielders move to their left, Barfield fielded the slugger's one-hopper in shallow right, but overthrew first baseman Gonzalez.
Bonds left after the top of the sixth. He played Wednesday night even though the Giants have their home opener Thursday afternoon. The original plan was to play him on Monday and Tuesday, then rest him Wednesday, but Tuesday night's game was rained out.
Bonds is under investigation by baseball for alleged steroid abuse. The slugger denies using performance-enhancing drugs. He entered the season with 708 homers, seven shy of passing Babe Ruth for second and 48 short of breaking Hank Aaron's record.
Morris allowed Gonzalez's homer leading off the seventh, then was chased by consecutive one-out singles by Vinny Castilla and Barfield. Steve Kline retired pinch-hitter Eric Young, walked pinch-hitter Doug Mirabelli to load the bases, then struck out pinch-hitter Mark Bellhorn.
Morris struck out three and walked three.
"I was excited," said Morris, who spent the previous nine years with St. Louis. "You try to keep all the distractions out, but of course I'm pitching for a new team, pitching for all these guys who are seeing me for the first time during the season. It's nice to go out there and start strong."
Estes allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked three. Tim Worrell pitched the ninth for the save, getting Young to hit into a game-ending double play with one on. It was the third double play turned by the Giants.
Padres RHP Woody Williams pitched the seventh. He and Chan Ho Park were put in the bullpen starting the season because the Padres won't need a fifth starter for the first two weeks. ... Padres 1B Ryan Klesko is debating whether to have surgery on his strained left shoulder, which forced him to start the season on the disabled list. ... Morris was the St. Louis starter on Oct. 8 when the Cardinals beat the Padres at Petco Park to complete a playoff sweep.

Throughout the race there are several legs to complete with a number of checkpoints at each leg. The results are based on a points system determined by the arrival position of each leg with bonus points to the winner of each check point.
Today the competitors are sailing from the city centre of Stockholm to the island of Lido in the north-eastern part of the archipelago of Stockholm. During the day they shall complete two legs, passing five checkpoints. Match racing specialists Martin Sandberg and Johan Örtendahl on Team Thule managed to pass the French duo on Team Kalix and were first to complete the first leg of the day.
The teams will have a short night stop at Lido, hopefully kicking in a couple of hours of sleep. The restart is set tomorrow morning at 03.00 to head off towards the autonomous islands of Åland, between Sweden and Finland, passing a 33 mile open stretch of the Baltic Sea.

ErgonomicsDesign Science (1949-)
Ergonomics: Real Design
18 November 2009 – 7 March 2010
Often described as the science of everyday life, ERGONOMICS combines scientific knowledge of human performance with design and engineering to create systems, products and services which are safe, efficient and enjoyable to use. Human capabilities and limitations – whether physical, psychological, or organisational – are applied by ergonomists to specify the design requirements for everything from everyday consumer products to complex safety-critical systems. Whether at home, at work, or in transport, anything that has been designed for human use is relevant to ergonomics.
The International Ergonomics Association (IEA) defines ergonomics as 'Äúthe scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance'Ä?. It further goes on to define an ergonomist as 'Äúan individual whose knowledge and skills concern the analysis of human-system interaction and the design of the system in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance'Ä?.
An alternative, more concise definition was offered by Dempsey et al. (2000) in the inaugural paper of the journal Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science, as 'Äú...the design and engineering of human-machine systems for the purpose of enhancing human performance'Ä? (p.6).
Ergonomics is therefore a discipline very much rooted in design, but with a strong interdisciplinary emphasis. Ergonomists may hail from a variety of backgrounds, including design, engineering, computer science, physiology, biology, psychology, or sociology. The key is the interrelationship between human and mechanical elements of a system to optimise overall performance. Indeed, this 'systems perspective' is fundamental to the ergonomists' approach, combining the strengths and weaknesses of human and machine performance to improve safety, efficiency, and satisfaction in operations. Increasingly in our modern world, there are many human elements in a team-based system, while the machine elements are highly technological or even automated. Thus the term 'sociotechnical systems' is used to represent this area of study.
Broadly speaking, there are three main branches of ergonomics: physical ergonomics (how the body works), cognitive ergonomics (how the mind works), and organisational ergonomics (how companies and societies work).
Cognitive ergonomics covers the psychological processes involved when interacting with systems, such as perception, attention, memory, mental workload, and decision making. Other pertinent topics include skilled performance and human error. Domains of application are becoming more relevant in this field as technological progress imposes more mental than physical demands on operators. Human-computer interaction and interface design are significant areas of research in their own right, though the ubiquity of computing nowadays means that these have diverse influences across applications such as transport and mobile devices.
Organisational ergonomics is the branch dealing with the wider sociotechnical system, covering organisational issues such as culture, teamwork and human resources. Relevant topics include communication and teamwork, computer-supported cooperative work, and job and task design.
Ergonomics, and the kind of work that ergonomists conduct, may otherwise be referred to under other terms such as human factors or user- (or human-) centred design. There are often subtle differences in interpretation of these terms. For instance, human factors has traditionally been the term adopted in the US, whilst the UK has preferred ergonomics; meanwhile, some read ergonomics as pertaining to physical ergonomics, and human factors to cognitive or organisational ergonomics. The distinction persists in job titles and professional descriptions, with various practitioners referring to themselves as ergonomists or human factors specialists. Accordingly, major professional societies around the world have acknowledged the distinction in their names, with those in the US (Human Factors and Ergonomics Society), Australia (Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia), and most recently the UK (Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors; formerly The Ergonomics Society) being cases in point.
To all intents and purposes, though, the terms are synonymous. Indeed, it has been argued (Dempsey et al., 2000) that the various ways of referring to the same underlying discipline only serve to confuse matters to those outside the field, and some advocate the adoption of ergonomics as a single umbrella term for clarity. The current article takes this stance and uses ergonomics throughout.
The first known use of the term 'Äòergonomics'Äô was as far back as 1857, by a Polish scholar, philosopher and naturalist, Wojciech Jastrzƒôbowski. In his treatise, 'ÄúAn Outline of Ergonomics, Or The Science of Work based upon the truths drawn from the Science of Nature'Ä?, Jastrzƒôbowski derives ergonomics from the Greek 'Äòergon'Äô (meaning work), and 'Äònomos'Äô (principle or law) to arrive at the science of work. With remarkable prescience, Jastrzƒôbowski divides ergonomics into 'Äúphysical, aesthetic, rational, and moral work; that is, work which is kinetic, emotional, intellectual and spiritual, or motory, or sensory, or rational, and which may otherwise be known as: labour, entertainment, thinking and devotion or toil, or pastime, or reasoning, or dedication'Ä?.
Since Jastrzƒôbowski'Äôs time, the Industrial Revolution brought to the fore issues associated with the human-machine interface and the design of work. Prior to the First World War, the rise of Taylorism and the pioneering time-and-motion studies of Frank and Lillian Gilbreth laid 'Äú...the foundations of the fundamental principles of human performance relevant to the design and evolution of industrial systems'Ä? (Dempsey et al., 2000; p.4). During the First World War itself, the Industrial Health Research Board established that excessive working hours were self-defeating in that they reduced output due to fatigue (Sell, 2009).
The Second World War accelerated developments in this field, with psychologists such as Sir Frederic Bartlett and Kenneth Craik leading the way with studies on human interaction with technology. Indeed, the concept of the sociotechnical system – such a fundamental in modern ergonomics – is clearly grounded in Craik's work. His untimely death in 1945 curtailed what might otherwise have been an even more significant contribution to ergonomics. Post-war, aircraft accidents became a stimulus for detailed ergonomics studies in the cockpit, as many crashes were due to pilots confusing controls and displays.
In many ways these events laid the foundation for what is widely recognised as the birth of ergonomics as a formal scientific discipline. In 1949, Hywel Murrell gathered a small group of like-minded researchers in Oxford to form 'Äúa group to enable research workers in different disciplines to meet and exchange ideas'Ä? (Waterson & Sell, 2006). Murrell subsequently experimented with etymology to establish (or, arguably, re-establish 'Äì following Jastrzƒôbowski in 1857) the term ergonomics. On 27th September 1949, this group met at the Admiralty in London, and established the Ergonomics Research Society 'Äì later to become known as the Ergonomics Society, and is today the Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors (IEHF).
Today, the IEHF is the oldest professional ergonomics society in the world, comprising some 1500 members (as at 2009). In fields as diverse as transport, medicine, nuclear power, defence, and consumer product design w What was originally the science of work has evolved to become designing for the real world – making things better through usability to improve safety, efficiency and satisfaction.

NBC Plans to Remake 'Wiseguy'
By: Tracy Phillips on October 26, 2011 in TV News
Is NBC remaking itself as the remake network? The Peacock channel reportedly has plans to remake the Stephen J. Cannell series "Wiseguy," according to Deadline. The project comes from 20th Century Fox, has received a script commitment and will be written by Alex Cary ("Homeland"). The contemporary reboot re-imagines the story of Vincent "Vinnie" Terranova, […]
Tribute: Remembering TV Producer Stephen J. Cannell
By: Todd Gold on October 2, 2010 in Celebrity Deaths, TV News
Prolific television producer Stephen J. Cannell died last Thursday at his Pasadena home. Only 69, he succumbed complications from melanoma, his family said. In a way, the news didn't surprise me. I interviewed Cannell in January 2009, and he was tanned the color of rich leather. With all the information about skin cancer, who does […]

The Flea's Bats Take on an Antitheater Classic
The theater critic isnt always a popular person, and we have been called a few names in our day. But neverat least to our faceshave we been dubbed you savages, you rednecks, you hatchet men, you subhumans, you fiends, you beasts in human shape, you killer pigs. And what did we do to earn this opprobrium? Why, we merely attended an evening performance of the Flea Theaters revival of Peter Handkes 1966 play Offending the Audience.
When the piece debuted, Handkes provocation may well have been controversial, even offensive. The script gleefully tears down the fourth wall, narrowing the gap between audience and performer. It also takes the theaterwhich the cast insists on pronouncing thee-ah-terrras its subject. This is no play, the actors say. We show you nothing. . . . We dont tell you a story. We dont perform any actions. We dont simulate any actions. We dont represent anything. And then there are all the insults.
The 20-odd young performers, members of the Fleas resident theater company, the Bats, are an attractive, black-clad lot. Taking turns, they recite the material with some force, but their forays into the audience to confront individual viewers inspire more giggling than affront. These kids seem much too nice-looking to really mean us or the conventional theater any harm. Even when they call us cookie pushers.

Men's basketball
Although Miami doesn't score a lot and its record is just 5-8, the Zips will need to fight hard to beat the RedHawks tonight at Rhodes Arena, the ABJ's Tom Gaffney writes.
In the Keith Dambrot era, Akron has fought two close duels with Miami at Rhodes Arena. Last year, the Zips pulled out a seven-point win. In Dambrot's first season, Akron won by six. Home or away, they have all been low-scoring games.
If you're looking for betting advice, I'd take the under. Picking the spread is trickier. I like the Zips only because I hate taking the underdog against the spread if I think the 'dog has no chance to win outright.
Miami should make it competitive, but you know Akron will have a scoring surge sometime in the second half to pull away. It should be a defensive showdown for sure.
Prediction: Akron 64, Miami 52
Women's basketball
Akron showed signs it possibly might be as good as its nonconference record last night at Miami.
The Zips (7-8, 0-3 MAC) played close against the MAC-leading RedHawks (9-7, 3-0), but lost 79-73.
Niki McCoy scored 24 and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead the Zips in the offensive shootout.
Of course, the Zips need to win some of these conference games eventually. However, it should be a relief to fans that Akron actually can be competitive in the MAC.
The next barometer reading comes Saturday afternoon at Buffalo.
As first reported on ZipsNation.org, Pittsburgh linebacker Aaron Williams chose to play football at Akron.
The 6-foot, 196-pounder said the decision came down to UA and Toledo. In one of the stranger quotes I've seen, Williams told Rivals.com, "Toledo was almost too perfect for me. I thought if I went there, I wouldn't get my work done and just be having fun all the time."
Buffalo also offered the two-star recruit a scholarship. Williams had interest in Michigan State, Pittsburgh and Marshall. Scout.com gives Williams three stars and calls him the 23rd best weakside linebacker in the nation. (I really don't see the point in dividing linebackers that way. How about just inside linebackers and outside linebackers? Whatever.)
Williams also played running back at Penn Hills High School. He gained 1,189 and scored 12 touchdowns on 195 carries as a senior.

If you get involved with home music recording on your PC, there's a word that will become increasingly important to you as progress in your endeavors: latency.
Latency is the lag time between when a note is played or sung and when the computer records it. To put it in layman's terms, it's a combination of the delay of the computer's processing speed, and the circuitry of the soundcard. The lower the latency, the more powerful and more transparent the recording process is.
Why more powerful? Because if the latency is low enough, it's possible to do real time monitoring while a voice or instrument is being recorded. If not, you have to wait until recording's done to hear what something sounds like.
And if latency's low, it's possible to add real-time effects to the monitoring mix. So the singer can hear what she sounds like with a little echo or reverb on her voice. The guitarist can hear himself though a distortion plug-in.
Incidentally, we're talking milliseconds here: a 20-millisecond delay is just enough to throw off a musician's timing. Ideally, it should be under five milliseconds to make the recording process as transparent as possible.
The Soundblaster Experience
One of the most popular soundcards is Creative Labs' Soundblaster series. They're great for gamers, but not so great for those like to make music on their PCs.
As I found out the hard way.
I had my Soundblaster Audigy soundcard installed in a brand new, bitchin' custom-built 2.8 GHz PC late last year, for the express purpose of recording music using my Sonar recording program. But for whatever reason, the latency of the card in the new system was abysmal. I had to constantly slide tracks around to line them up to get them in time. And forget real-time monitoring of performances. It also made my USB-based guitar synthesizer track poorly.
The Audigy card had Soundblaster's LiveDrive front bay, which made recording, in some respects, fairly easy. You could plug a microphone in the front. Or amp modeling boxes like Roger Linn's AdrenaLinn unit. But the LiveDrive bay only has a single quarter-inch jack. Needless to say, stereo recording was out of the question, as was real-time monitoring. Recording a vocal isn't that difficult without real-time monitoring, although many vocalists are much more comfortable singing when they have reverb or echo on their voice. But an unprocessed instrument like electric guitar is much more problematic. The level of distortion impacts the timing of notes, particularly on lead parts. And it's much more difficult to judge an effective take without being able to hear what the guitar sounds like with its amplifier tone.
Enter The Omni-Studio
M-Audio's Omni Studio consists of two components: their Delta 66 PCI soundcard, and their Omni I/0 breakout box. Installing the two was a revelation: real-time monitoring? No sweat. Low latency? Under five milliseconds. Stereo inputs? Piece of cake. Other inputs? Check these out, from the M-Audio Website:
Neutrik connectors (XLR and 1/4″ TRS) mic/instrument preamps with 66dB gain 48V phantom power, individual gain controls, 20dB pad and signal/clip indicators line inputs 3 and 4 (1/4″ TRS) 4 direct outputs (1/4″ TRS) effects sends with level controls for each of the four D/A or direct monitor signals (1/4″ TS) stereo monitor outputs w/ level control (1/4″ TRS) stereo record outputs for mixdown deck (independent of monitor level) (1/4″ TRS) 2 stereo headphone outputs with individual level controls (1/4″ TRS) stereo effects return (1/4″ TS) direct monitoring with full level and panning control aux inputs 1 and 2 individually routable for monitoring or recording master output signal/clip LEDs S/PDIF digital I/O (coaxial) with 2-channel PCM SCMS copy protection control digital I/O supports surround-encoded AC-3 and DTS pass-through up to 24-bit/96kHz performance
Having the M-Audio card revitalized my Adrenalinn box by allowing proper stereo recording–and monitoring. It revitalized my guitar synth by allowing it to track much better than it did before.
What Does It Sound Like?
So what does it sound like? Well, a lot like this. That song was recorded over a few nights a couple of weeks ago and then mastered with Izotope's Ozone software. The electric guitars were recorded in stereo via the AdrenaLinn (nifty sequencer patch on the rhythm guitar, huh?)
The Fender Rhodes keyboard on the song is actually a Reason patch played via the Roland Guitar synth. The bass on the song was via Cakewalk's Project5 software synthesizer, which has a nice patch simulating a Steinberg headless electric bass.
The bass and lead vocal on the song were also processed via patches in Izotope Ozone. I had to slide these tracks backward about 15 to 20 microseconds because of the latency (see, there's that word again!) of the processor-intensive Ozone plug-in. But at least they could initially be recorded in real-time, without any timing adjustments, via the M-Audio card.
An Ideal Soundcard For A Home Musician
With a $399 list price, M-Audio's Omni Studio is a great choice for the solo musician who wants to record professional quality recordings. For more a group situation, another solution should probably be considered, since more inputs will be needed, particularly if a drum kit needs to be mic'ed up. And the breakout box needs its own power supply, which could be a consideration for some. But otherwise, the Omni Studio could be the ideal soundcard and breakout box a home musician needs to make extremely high-quality recordings without a minimum of fuss.Powered by Sidelines

The APNS seeks to be the foremost peak body for the private aged and community care sector and support all members to have a voice at all levels of government and the industry at large.
The Association of Private Nursing Services Inc (APNS) aims to meet the needs of private nursing and care services that provide nursing and support services to clients in their own homes.

It was with this in mind that the association was formed.
We offer the opportunity to network with other providers, have a united voice with government departments and agencies, and provide relevant and up to date information on our industry to our members.

Even though three-time WIAA state diving champion Rachel Stave is gone, the Whitnall diving team is still winning championships.
The Falcons captured the crown in diving at the Woodland Conference Relays on Sept. 25, tallying 274.7 points to easily beat second-place New Berlin Eisenhower with 226.45 points.
The diving title gave the Falcons 32 team points and sent them well on their way to a solid fifth place in the meet with 173 points.
Senior Brianna Owen, sophomore Lani Cieszynski and freshman Alyssa Doherty followed in the impressive footsteps of the graduated Stave, who won the past three Division 2 crowns and set a division state record as a senior.
Whitnall diving coach Cheryl Weber, who directed Stave for her four years at the school, was happy to see the winning tradition continue.
"The diving team, which has a legacy of being strong in the Woodland, came up with yet another conference title," Weber said. "Lani was very consistent, and her dives in particular helped us to distance ourselves from the rest of the teams."
The 200-yard medley relay team of Kristine Kasper, Jill Kolasinski, Jessica Lehmann and Abby Chiesa earned the highest spot in swimming with fourth at 2 minutes, 10.94 seconds.
The 400 medley unit of Kasper, Kolasinski, Elizabeth Streim and Ally Lepper came in sixth (4:49.35).
Capturing seventh were the 800 freestyle group of Sarah Hill, Alex Pentala, Shea Strom and Kasper (10:05.69), the 100 medley group of Kasper, Alixandria Lewison, Hayley Rollins and Chiesa (1:06.62), the 400 freestyle team of Lehmann, Chiesa, Streim and Lepper (4:24.64) and the 300 breaststroke squad of Pentala, Lewison, Samantha Dorlack and Julia Lucey-Arneberg (4:12.68).
"The Woodland has a lot of competition in it, and for Whitnall to place fifth out of 13 teams was fantastic," head coach George Guddie said.
The Falcons had a dual meet against rival Greenfield earlier this week and will host St. Francis/St. Thomas More at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Help notebook style in Mathematica 6.0
Hi, when I try to set the style sheet for help notebooks in Mathematica 6.0 the Frontend has no corresponding menu entry. But the stylesheet is there $TopDirectory\SystemFiles\FrontEnd\StyleSheets\Wolfram\Reference.nb more over, when I create a notebook with that style from the kernel the Format|Style menu does not offer styles like "Text", "Input" ... it is total empty. a) Does anyone know how to modify the FrontEnd (no MenuSetup.tr does not help) that the style sheet can be used from the FrontEnd. b) is there a palette to set the defined styles manual, I can make my own but if it exist somwhere ... and the last question. When I looked into the Help notebooks, every Cell[] has a CellID option. Needless to say, that this is not documented. For what is it good for and is the CellID used by the Help System in any way ? Thanks in advance Jens

This came thru from Bill Nash if anyone can help.
Sorry your cute little gif didn't come thru .
TO ALL....in light of a "need hosta help" email coming from AU (AU = 2
letter postal code for AUstralia)..[see email below?]. I thought, it would
be nice to do a combined help effort here i.e. if we gonna do a hosta
plantation in AU.....all help wanted? <G>
TO:Raelene Murray --in--> AU
RE: your 1st Email RAE, there is no problem,
finding/sending hosta-seed for/to you, since my "freezer" is pretty well
loaded with seed for whatever types of hostas you might like to see; and I
would be happy, to send you whatever you may need to start a hosta
plantation in AUstralia (AU). <gratis>
However, before I take you "up a garden path" (of
growing hostas?) I'd like to know?...what your climate is; and particularly
in reference to: What might be your lowest recorded temperatures of the
year -- any frost and/or snow in your area? What might the coldest
temperatures over a six week period of the year -- be in AU? Why I'm asking
this; is because I believe, hostas require at least 6 weeks of temperatures
below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (preferably 0 degrees Celsius) i.e. hostas
cannot grow non-stop evermore; and do need, a dormant period. This can be
done via refrigeration, but that would be a hastle....yes?
So & finally Rae'luv?...in an effort, to send a flame
of enthusiasm your way, I'm going to send this to some groups I'm involved
with, to possibly provide more debate & connections to come your way?
I suppose, our number one big question will be:
"IS THE AUstralia (AU) CLIMATE SUITABLE TO GROW HOSTAS?" in reference to the
dormancy requirement of this perennial plant?
hope this helps you Rae...and will follow up on your 2nd email tomorrow.
hosta sincerely yours
William Nash Guelph Ontario (ON) Canada (CA)
