Victor Wooten Band
Spotlight show • The 48-year-old bandleader is one of the best bass players of his (or any) generation, and audiences will be treated to two sets from the Victor Wooten Band. A founding member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, Wooten said in a phone interview that Fleck is taking time off to enjoy his recent marriage to fellow banjo player Abigail Washburn. Throughout the Flecktones' existence, Fleck has encouraged band members to pursue different opportunities. "Béla understands the needs of everyone to go off on their own," Wooten said. "We rejuvenate and bring back some fuel." Wooten's most recent projects include two albums he released on his own label in late September: the instrumental "Sword & Stone" and "Words and Tones." An experienced teacher, he also is featured on the soundtrack to former Flecktone Jeff Coffin's recent instruction book The Articulate Jazz Musician, co-written by Utah educator and bandleader Caleb Chapman. Wooten said he's about halfway through writing the sequel to his own book The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music. The only time he gets to write, he said, is when he is on the road. When he's at home, he's busy helping his wife home-school their four children.
When • Monday, Feb. 11, at 8 p.m.
Where • The State Room, 638 S. State St., Salt Lake City
Tickets • $35 at thestateroom.com
John Brown's Body
Spotlight show • One of the nation's premier reggae ensembles labels its music "future roots music" and who are we to argue? In a phone interview, the band's Tommy Benedetti said he picked up his drumsticks at age 11 and grew up on a steady diet of Iron Maiden and AC/DC before enrolling at the Berklee College of Music. There he heard an explosion of music in all genres, which influenced his style. That has served him well with John Brown's Body because the band incorporates so many elements. The band is still reeling from the 2006 death of bassist Scott Palmer from cancer, which led to a discussion of whether to continue. "It was a lot of confusion," Benedetti said. "It was a huge loss personally and musically. We didn't known what the future would hold. There was a lot of soul searching." But the East Coast-based band has continued, helped by an unusually rabid fanbase in the Intermountain West on this tour, they'll play six shows in Colorado and Utah. "One of the first places we caught on was in Colorado," Benedetti said. "We certainly always came to Utah. That area has always been a hot-spot for us." Touring behind 2012's "JBB IN DUB," the band "has never sounded better," Benedetti said. "The band is going to come out and crush every night."

The Chieftains
Spotlight show • In 2012, the Chieftains celebrated its 50th year as arguably the best-known Irish band in the world. The band returns to Utah as part of its ongoing celebration of Irish roots music. Founding member Paddy Moloney, 74, works hard to incorporate modern Irish music with musical traditions from around the world. This time around, the band is traveling with several musicians from Nashville, Moloney said in a phone interview. "There's no let-up," he said of his band, which has been on the road for most of the past half-century. "We never let our fans down." Moloney said the last time the Chieftains performed in Utah, the band's travel plans were delayed, and made it to the venue several hours after the show was scheduled to be over. "But the audience stayed, and we delivered," he said. The Chieftains' most recent album is 2012's "Voice of Ages," a collaboration between the band and musicians including Bon Iver, The Decemberists, The Civil Wars, Pistol Annies, Carolina Chocolate Drops and Punch Brothers. Notable for Moloney is a track called "The Chieftains in Orbit,"with NASA astronaut Cady Coleman, a flute player who has taken several flutes with her to the International Space Station, including a pennywhistle from Moloney, In 2011, she played one of the instruments live from orbit on National Public Radio. Now that's one special collaboration.

Hunter Hayes sings 2013 Grammy noms for Best Pop Album
Listen to Hunter Hayes on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - In the unlikely event you've never heard of musical phenom Hunter Hayes--who is nominated for best new artist, best country album, and best country solo performance at the upcoming 2013 Grammy Awards--his performance at the 2013 Grammys Nominees Concert Wednesday night would be sure to make you take notice.
Instead of merely stating the nominees for Best Pop Vocal Album, The 21-year-old sang them, choosing the single from each release to announce their inclusion in the category. Hayes is a rising star in the country arena, but one would be hard-pressed to pigeonhole him, hearing his takes on Kelly Clarkson, Florence & The Machine, Fun., Maroon 5, and Pink.
Click HERE to watch the video!
Hayes himself has been enjoying a fortuitous start in the music business, having been on stage since he was 4 years old and finding himself in the enviable position of opening for Taylor Swift's Speak Now tour in 2011. His self-titled debut album, which came out in October 2011 and on which he plays at least 30 instruments himself, debuted in the top 20 of the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The Louisiana native was inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in September.
Hayes will be competing against Alabama Shakes, Fun., the Lumineers, and Frank Ocean in the all-genre category of best new artist at the 2013 Grammys, which will take place February 10.

Islam in Britain 1558 - 1685, by Nabil Matar, Cambridge
University Press, 1998
The cover jacket of Professor Matar's book is an illustration from 1676 showing two Englishmen being served coffee, in the company of a turbaned Turk with twirled moustaches. The Turk is big and at ease, while his table companions are sitting in a demure fashion. It is an apt imagery that applies not just to the social interaction in the first coffee houses that appeared in Britain around this period, but to the wider inter-relationships between Britain and Muslims in the Seventeenth Century. Nabil Mater, Professor of English at the Florida Institute of Technology, has provided us with a work of meticulous scholarship that is timely for British Muslims today. First, because it helps the older school children in discovering that they too have something to say about Cromwell and the Armada and Newton. Second, to explore the prospects for the British Muslim community in the light of these historical precedents.
Muslims in the Mediterranean basin had the greatest impact on Britons in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This expanse included Istanbul, the centre of the Ottoman Empire; Aleppo, a crucial link in the Silk Route; Beirut, "the Marte-towne whereunto all the ships coming from Europe doe arrive"; Jerusalem, the city of pilgrimage; Cairo, a centre of trade, witnessing " the greatest concourse of Mankind in these times, and perhaps that ever was; Algiers, "the whip of the Christian world, terror of Europe"; and Fez, "a world for a city". While the European kingdoms were able to expand westwards and colonise the Americas, Muslim naval power dominated the Mediterranean. When the threat of the Spanish Armada loomed in the mid-1580s, Queen Elizabeth did not hesitate to ask the Ottoman Sultan Murad for naval assistance against the Spaniards. Of all the countries of Europe, Britain enjoyed the most extensive trade with Muslim lands in this period. The balance of power tilted away from the Ottomans after their defeat in Vienna in 1683 followed by the Karlowitz Treaty of 1699. The hundred and thirty year period covered by Nabil Matar is therefore a moment in history when Britain was dealing with a self-contained and militarily formidable Muslim world. "Because of its magnitude and civilisation, this Empire played a significant role in the formation of British (and European) history: for it was always engaged and alluded to, recalled and examined - and became part of the English worldview in much the same way that the Communist bloc during the Cold War partly shaped Western self-understanding". His book probes the extent of this engagement through studies of English writings of the period.
From Professor Matar's scholarship we learn that the first English convert to Islam whose name survives in an English source, 'The Voyage made to Tripoli' (1583), was a "son of a yeoman of our Queen's Guard…His name was John Nelson". A Chair of Arabic at the University of Oxford was established in 1636, and it was known that Charles I collected Arabic and Persian manuscripts. Britain would soon suffer its Civil War, with society divided along political and religious lines: it was as much to do with the ideological clash between Rome and the Church of England as with the position and powers of Parliament. The turmoil of the period may have encouraged some Englishmen to break with tradition and Matar cites an account written in 1641 that referred to 'a sect of Mahomatens' being 'discovered here in London'.
By 1646 King Charles was holed up in Oxford under siege by Cromwell's army and the worst of the fighting was soon to be over with defeat for the Royalists. In December 1648, the 'Council of Mechanics' of the new Commonwealth voted for a toleration of various religious groups, including the Muslims. The next year, in 1649, the first English translation of the Qur'an, by Ross, was printed. It had two imprints, attesting to a wide circulation, "notwithstanding", says Matar, "the inaccuracy of the translation or the bigotry of the translator".
Following the regicide in 1649, sole authority now rested with Cromwell, 'Lord Protector'. Reference to Islam and Muslims was part of the discourse of the times. Cromwell's enemies attacked the revolutionaries for their disrespect of parish priests and rejection of the 'High Anglican' official tenets: "And indeed if Christians will but diligently read and observe the Laws and Histories of the Mahometans, they may blush to see how zealous they are in the works of devotion, piety and charity, how devout, cleanly and reverend in their Mosques, how obedient to their Priests, that even the Great Turk himself will attempt nothing without consulting his Mufti". The revolutionaries, according to their critics, followed their own self-declared religious authorities, while even the Sultan heeded the advice of the Mufti on religious matters. Other writers who were unsympathetic to the revolution compared the 'Professours of Religion' amongst the Turks with 'the Puritans' of Cromwell. In Cromwell's camp there were men like the remarkable Henry Stubbe, scholar in Latin, Greek and Hebrew and friend of Pococke, the first professor of Arabic in Oxford. According to or own contemporary (English) Muslim scholar in Cambridge, Abdal Hakim Murad, Stubbe "had sided with Parliament during the civil war, holding, with Cromwell, that the righteous man may sometimes justly bear the burden of the sword. An admirer of Cromwell, he became an admirer of the Prophet".
Stubbe's circle must have known his private views on Muslims and Islam, which could not be publicly disclosed at the time: "their articles of faith are few and plain, whereby they are preserved from schisms and heresies, for altho' they have great diversity of opinion in the explication of their Law, yet, agreeing in the fundamentals, their difference in opinion do not reach the breach of charity so common among the Christians, who thereby become a scandal to all other religions in the world". At least six manuscripts of Stubbe's book 'An account of the Rise and Progress of Mahometanism, and a Vindication of him and his Religion from the Calumnies of the Christians' circulated in a clandestine manner (not to be published until 1911).
Professor Matar believes that Cromwell, and/or his Secretary, John Milton, showed familiarity with the Qur'an in a letter to the ruler of Algiers in June 1656. "Cromwell expected the addressee to abide by the commercial agreements between their two countries because of the nature of Muslim religion: 'We now at this time require the like of you who have declar'd your selves hitherto in all things to be men loving righteousness, hating wrong, & observing faithfulnesse in covenant'. The last words repeat the exact description of Islam as a religion that advocates righteousness and repudiates wrong-doing". Matar rightly concludes that " from sectary to antiquarian to Lord Protector, the Qur'an was a text widely consulted and quoted: it had legitimacy for addressing not only Muslims overseas but Christians in England and the rest of the British Isles".
Cromwell's Protestant Commonwealth died with him in 1658, and following the Restoration of the monarchy and the return of Orthodox Anglicanism, the period of toleration ended. All students signing for their BA at Oxford or Cambridge had to attest to an acceptance of the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church, which included belief in a Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Ghost, 'one and indivisible, three in one and one in three'. Englishmen who viewed Islam favourably or had rejected Trinitarianism were accused of heresy. Stubbe himself was imprisoned. It is interesting to note that his contemporary at Cambridge, Isaac Newton, who was much influenced by Muslim Arab scholarship (more about this later), placed the offer of the Lucasian Professorship made to him in 1674 at risk by refusing to take holy orders, a mandatory requirement at the time. Newton secretly rejected Trinitarianism (according to his biographer, Michael White, Newton was 'fanatically opposed' to the concept of Trinity). Fortunately for science, King Charles II granted him a special dispensation and all subsequent holders of the chair were exempted from holy orders.
Professor Matar shows that seventeenth century Englishmen from all walks of life were attracted to Islam, from the son of a humble yeoman, John Nelson, to the Westminster and Oxford educated scholar, Henry Stubbe. He refers to statements from converts themselves to establish what was the 'allure' of Islam. English sources of the time recognised that Muslims did not force Christians to convert. Matar quotes from the English writer George Sandys in 1610, "they compell no man", and Blount, "The Turke puts none to death for Religion". Many Christians, captured by Algerian or Ottoman ships in sea battles or forays on the ports - in 1617 Turkish ships penetrated the Severn - returned to Britain without having renounced their Christianity. One John Rawlins, in 1622, wrote that other Christians "very voluntarily renounced their faith, and became Renegadoes", using the Spanish loan word meaning convert from Christianity to Islam. On the other hand, such was sometimes the desire of Christians to convert to Islam that force was used by their co-religionists to stop them. In January 1681, one Thomas Baker wrote in his diary the following account about an Englishman:
William…..Gunner of ye Francis & Benjamin Pink about noone went into ye Castle, & presenting himselfe before the Dey Declared that hee was come to Turne Turk, and severall types uttered the usual Words Whereby such Villaines are admitted into that accursed Superstition.
Baker was not willing to condone apostasy from an Englishman and upon hearing the news went 'into the Castle and Took him Rogue as is, and Wilbee, doubtlesse". Coercion was necessary to prevent Christians from freely converting to Islam.
Modern western historians have distorted this episode in European history. Bernard Lewis, for example, has described the Christians who converted to Islam in this period as 'few' and chiefly 'adventurers'. Of course there were the poor and ill-treated sailors and cabin-boys who jumped ship at Muslim ports to seek a new life in a prosperous and tolerant society that easily accepted converts. But there were the English gentry and the merchants too who embraced in Islam, not for material reasons but by becoming impressed with the customs and mores of their Ottoman Muslim counterparts. Sir Thomas Shirley warned soon after trade with Turkey began to flourish that the more time Englishmen spent in the lands of Islam, the closer they moved towards adopting the manners of the Muslims. Muslim society in the Mediterranean basin did not discriminate against such new comers on the basis of ethnic or social origin. The egalitarianism of opportunity in the Muslim empire was well-known in England: lists of Turkish and Janizzari leaders often included reference to their renegade status, and in the late seventeenth century, fourteen 'beys' or 'rais' were known to be of Christian origin. Islam was a tolerant religion that attracted adherents because of its teachings, its intellectual vitality and the fact that Islam brought honour and dignity.
While Britons' conversions to Islam in the seventeenth century do not appear to have changed the tide of history, the intellectual and cultural impact of Muslims was profound and far-reaching. Texts in Arabic in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and medicine were central to higher education in England in the seventeenth century. In order to obtain access to the advanced knowledge of the day, not only were translations commenced at Oxford and Cambridge, but preparations were made to train a generation of Arabic scholars. A visitor to Westminster School observed in his diary, "I heard & saw such exercises at the election of scholars at Westminster Schoole, to be sent to the Universitie, both in Lat: Gr: Heb: Arabic &c in Theames & extemporary Verses, as wonderfully astonish'd me, in such young striplings". Linguistic ability was important, because, in the words of Isaac Barrow, Cambridge Professor of Mathematics, 'the mastery of Arabic was necessary for the advancement of learning'. Muslim intellectual giants came to be known by their anglicised names 'Alfarabi, Algazel, Abensina, Abenrusd, Abulfeda, Abdiphaker, Almanzor, Alhazen'. Walter Salmon included among the authorities of his Practical Physik (1692) 'Geber Arabs', or the chemist (and alchemist) Jabir ibn Hayyam. Robert Boyle, the chemist known to every schoolboy, studied Arabic sciences in order to be able to challenge the 'groundless traditional conceptions' in contemporary learning. Boyle in turn acted as a guide for Isaac Newton, a seeker of the truth who naturally became drawn to the esoteric sciences (perhaps better called the mystical arts). Newton, in the words of Maynard Keynes, 'regarded the universe as a cryptogram set by the Almighty'. Newton left behind more than a million words on the subject of alchemy, and the task of deciphering this mass of material has occupied scholars since 1936. It is still ongoing, and interestingly, a significant portion of manuscripts is now in the Yahuda Manuscript Collection of the Jewish National and University Library in Jerusalem. His biographer Norman White has attempted to trace a mental connection between Newton's religious beliefs and scientific discoveries (see 'Isaac Newton, The Last Sorcerer', 1997; pp161-162.
In the next two centuries the military and intellectual initiative slipped away from the Muslims, while Britain became a hot-house of industrial and scientific advances and entered its own 'age of empire and progress'. Britain also changed ideologically, losing faith in its moribund, illogical, conservative Anglican clerics. The new Darwinian world view ('One great slaughter-house the warring world!') would not elicit any sympathy for enfeebled peoples of the East, nor would it respect the cultural achievements of a non-white race. Lord Macaulay, the high priest of Victorian Britain remarked "I am quite ready to take oriental learning at the valuation of orientalists themselves. I have never found one among them who could deny that a single shelf of a good European library was worth the whole of native literature of India and Arabia".
The Muslims shut the gate of ijtehad and suffered the consequences; the British Establishment elite, because of commercial interests, prestige and racial pride, sealed their ears to the wisdom of Islam.
The racial arrogance of the Victorians and Edwardians would allow them to become Hellenophiles and philo-semites, but never Islamophiles. That is not to say that there were no Englishmen in the nineteenth century prepared to defend Islam - Thomas Carlyle is an example. Similarly Marmuduke Pickthall had the courage to defend the Turks in the early twentieth century. It is in this context too that we should appreciate the contribution of Justice Syed Ameer Ali, author of the classics 'A short history of the Saracens' (1889) and 'The spirit of Islam' (1891). On retiring from Indian service in 1904, he settled with his English wife in a country manor near Newbury and devoted the remaining twenty four years of his life to a literary campaign to disabuse the British of their Anglocentrism.
Professor Matar observes that "modern historians have not recognised the over-arching impact of the Arabic civilisation on England". His work should be commended for seeking to set the record right. Moreover Muslims can take heart that the emergence of a multi-cultural Britain is in keeping with the oldest traditions of the land.

New book takes comprehensive look at state's fish
For someone well-versed on South Carolina's 151 fish species, Joe Quattro admits that he has little time for recreational fishing.
But his loss is everyone else's gain: the associate professor of biology was one of four authors who devoted some five years to create Freshwater Fishes of South Carolina, a new book published by USC Press. It's the first comprehensive volume on the state's fish population since before the Civil War.
"Our book is exhaustive: we used something like 250,000 location records."
"There was a physician, J.E. Holbrook, who dabbled in natural science and wrote a book in the 1850s that attempted to catalog and describe the state's fishes," Quattro said. "Our book is exhaustive: we used something like 250,000 location records."
Freshwater Fishes includes more than 350 photos, illustrations, maps, and charts that depict all of the state's fish species and their range. The book also provides highly detailed descriptions of fish appearance and information on their habitats.
The book also includes state records for sport fish, as well as practical information for aquarists and others interested in collecting and studying native species.

HOLLYWOOD - The French-language drama about two retired music teachers in their 80s, "Amour," was named Sunday as the best movie of 2012 by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
The post-World War II drama "The Master" was runner-up for best picture and and won four awards -- best director (Paul Thomas Anderson), best actor (Joaquin Phoenix), best supporting actress (Amy Adams) and best production design (Jack Fisk and David Crank).
The cinematographer for "The Master," Mihai Malaimare Jr., was runner- up for best cinematography to Roger Deakins of the James Bond film "Skyfall."
There was a tie for best actress between Emmanuelle Riva, who portrayed a stroke victim in "Amour," and Jennifer Lawrence, who played a recent widow who has just lost her job in "Silver Linings Playbook."
The only other multiple award winner was "Beasts of the Southern Wild," which won for best supporting actor (Dwight Henry) and best music score (Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin), while Zeitlin, who was also the film's director, was named as the recipient of the New Generation Award.
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association best picture winner has gone on to win the best picture Academy Award eight times since the group began giving awards for films made in 1975.
The most recent double winner was the 2009 Iraq War drama "The Hurt Locker." Before that, the association's best picture winner had failed to repeat at the Academy Awards for 15 consecutive years.
Last year's critics' winner, "The Descendants," lost to "The Artist" on Oscar night.
"Amour" has been selected as the Austrian entry for the best foreign- language film. A foreign-language film has never won the best picture Academy Award.
The other winners were:
-- Best screenplay, Chris Terrio, "Argo";
-- Best editing, Dylan Tichenor and William Goldenberg, "Zero Dark Thirty";
-- Best foreign language film, "Holy Motors";
-- Best documentary/nonfiction film, "The Gatekeepers";

"Well, you go out and tell Casey to come down as soon as he gets the truck in place," decided Latrobe.
Mrs Latrobe appraised Lady Betty by means of one rapid glance.
Mrs. Latrobe and Dolly had soon become friends, as the following note shows.
"Surely, my dear, you must have understood me," said Mrs Latrobe.
Under the influence of the really great Latrobe, an iron span of 124 feet was built in 1852 at Harpers Ferry.
And Mrs Latrobe closed the door, and left the cousins together.
Colonel Latrobe looks exactly like a Triton, with that wondrous beard.
This was confirmed by Latrobe, who made a final examination for his own satisfaction.
Latrobe is all agog with excitement over the great disaster.
Latrobe was more to be feared than a whole houseful of ghosts!

The last time they had a six-game winning streak, the Clippers went a little haywire for about a week before they regained their confidence, rhythm and winning ways. They don't want a repeat when they hit the road to start a four-game trip tonight in Chicago.
Matt Barnes, a backup small forward, sounded an optimistic tone after Sunday's rout of the Toronto Raptors gave the Clippers their second six-game winning streak of the season. He said nothing short of a 3-1 record on their trip to Chicago, Charlotte, Milwaukee and Detroit would be acceptable.
"We know what our ultimate goal is right now," Barnes said. "We have a very talented team and guys have to make sacrifices. That may be playing time or shots. But whatever it may be, everyone has bought in and the more time we have together, the better we play."
The Clippers departed for Chicago in first place in the Pacific Division with a 14-6 record.
"We know we have something special here," Barnes added. "It's a long season and we want to continue to build and continue to set good habits and be healthy at the end of the season and be ready for the playoffs.
"This is the most talented team I've played on, period. Our ultimate goal is to win a championship."
Griffin honored
Power forward Blake Griffin was named Western Conference Player of the Week, no easy feat when you consider he didn't play a second in any of the last three fourth quarters because the Clippers were so far ahead of the opposition.
Griffin led the Clippers to wins over the Utah Jazz, Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns and Toronto Raptors. He had 30 points and 11 rebounds against Utah, 19 points and 13 rebounds against Dallas, 24 points and eight rebounds against Phoenix and 19 points and nine rebounds against Toronto.
For the week, he was ninth in the Western Conference in scoring with an average of 23 points and seventh in rebounding with an average of 10 per game despite sitting out the fourth quarters of blowout victories over the Mavericks, Suns and Raptors.
Josh Smith of the Atlanta Hawks was name Eastern Conference Player of the Week.

I got BT5 x64 Gnome working on a 32Gb SDHC card (yes, overkill, I know). I had to try a couple of times with Unetbootin but it finally took and did a HD install from there. You might want to try other USB installers such as LinuxLive (I don't recall the other utilities names, but there was one mentioned in another thread that actually lists BT5 as a supported distribution).
Good luck!

SolarWorld: Highly Attractive to Young Talents
SolarWorld AG is a preferred employer among young employees and students! Multiple studies have shown that most young people choose an employer based on whether it offers an intellectual challenge in the field and whether sustainability and a sense of responsibility are important aspects of its vision.
According to current studies, SolarWorld meets precisely the expectations young engineers have of a potential employer: the combination of an interesting future-oriented industry and acceptance of social responsibility. It invests considerable energy in attracting and retaining young staff. A strong corporate culture in which values are put into practice is crucial.
This was evidenced for example by the results of the trendence Graduate Barometer 2011 conducted by Berlin's trendence institute. The study surveyed approximately 30,000 students about their preferred employer shortly before graduation.
Young engineers are not the only ones interested in SolarWorld, however. Some 4,000 young professionals with up to eight years of professional experience also stated that they would gladly apply at SolarWorld, one of their preferred employers.
SolarWorld AG did well in the engineering edition of both studies, placing in the top 20.
Respondents outside of Germany also rated a job at SolarWorld highly. Over 200,000 students Europe-wide who were nearing graduation named SolarWorld as one of the 500 most attractive employers for the first time in the results of the European Graduate Barometer 2011, which were published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
This positive view of SolarWorld as a preferred employer among students and young professionals is underscored by surveys published in Wirtschaftswoche. Both students and young professionals rated SolarWorld as a very attractive employer. Among the preferred employers of engineering and science students, SolarWorld falls in the upper echelon of the top 20.
SolarWorld was named one of the top 50 among economists and engineers. Students at over 100 German universities and 6,700 young professionals nationwide with at least one year and no more than eight years of experience were surveyed.
SolarWorld AG was already named one of Germany's 100 best employers by the Great Place to Work Institute Deutschland for the second time in a row in 2010. SolarWorld employees surveyed cited supervisors' high level of confidence in their employees, the high level of fairness and the team focus within the company as positives and are proud to work at SolarWorld. More information is available from Great Place to Work.
SolarWorld will continue to focus on fostering young staff in the future. It is seeking primarily engineers in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, process engineering, materials science, physics and chemistry; IT specialists; and business administration staff. More information and current job listings for international SolarWorld AG locations are available at here

Just in case you were wondering if Sarah Palin could sink any lower than being forced to go hang out at the mall next to the Republican convention instead of being at the convention, there's this. In one of the most obvious, we just have to justify paying this person moves in cable news history, Fox News paired up Sarah Palin and Eric Bolling to host an informerical for the oil industry called Paying At the Pump.
There really is no need for a recap of Palin's remarks during the special, because she said the exact same things that she has been saying for almost four years now. Blame Obama, bitter attack on Obama, drill baby drill, energy independence, rinse wash, and repeat.
What made this informercial stand out was that Fox didn't even try to pretend that this was a news special. The network got Glenn Beck's studio audience stuff out of mothballs, loaded up their panel of experts with people from Big Oil, had Palin and Bolling say lots of nasty things about President Obama, then threw in some drill baby drill, and closed with Eric Bolling claiming that our energy problems would be solved if energy speculators would be allowed to trade more on margin.
The real kicker is that while she was governor of Alaska, Socialist Sarah Palin signed a major tax increase on the oil industry and then redistributed the wealth back to every Alaskan. Fast forward a few years, and here is Palin today surrounded by shills for Big Oil trying to sell the Friday Night Fox News shut ins on the myth that there is millions and millions of barrels of oil waiting to solve our energy woes if only that mean old Barack Obama would let us get at it.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
All Product Details
No longer can we be Barack Obama's sheeple and let the American Dream be trampled, beaten, and burned to the ground
Trickle Up Poverty, by bestselling author and revered radio host Dr. Michael Savage, is your best defense against the Obamanomics that are dragging the middle class, and everyone else, into a Marxist-Socialist death spiral. The Savage manifesto you hold in your hands shows how Obama is circumventing the Constitution to push through his radical agenda—and, most important, how we can restore our country to the power and prestige that Barack Obama and his corrupt and degenerate "czars" are trying to destroy.
The Naked Marxist can and must be stopped. Obama's trickle up poverty is infecting all that we hold to be true and self-evident. Here's how:
Impoverishing the Middle Class: Obama's confiscatory taxes, the socializing of our health-care system, and other legislative initiatives are taking away our earnings and our power to choose how we live our lives and putting it in the hands of corrupt and pro-Socialist cohorts.
Erasing Our Border with Mexico: The Homeland Security department that can't shoot straight is gutting the Constitution in the name of protecting illegal aliens when it should be focusing on keeping out the terrorists and drug dealers.
Defunding the Military and Putting Our Troops in Harm's Way: Obama's beatnik policy of taking apart our nuclear arsenal and destroying NASA, while implementing PC Rules of Engagement that don't allow our troops to protect themselves, is dangerously weakening our security and ending our military dominance.
Lining the Pockets of His Wall Street Buddies: While our 401(k)'s suffer, Obama and his Wall Street heavy contributors are creating their own legislation that is driving down stock prices while allowing his biggest campaign contributors to make trillions of dollars.
Propagandizing the Media: Once a forum for free speech, Obama's administration has systematically overrun the media in a hostile takeover with threats and false promises that serve only to pull the wool over the sheeple's eyes.
Ignoring the Tea Party—the Voice of the People: No longer a representative government, Obama is blatantly disregarding, and even suppressing, the fastest-growing collective voice in the nation right now—that of the patriotic Tea Party. His Union-Crony Purple Shirts have shown up at town-hall meetings and peaceful protests to intimidate and antagonize the democratic process.
We are dangerously close to losing the nation we love, but it's not too late. If you buy only one book to learn and react to what Obama the Destroyer has done and plans on doing to America, this is it!
Michael Savage conservative talk radio host and #1 New York Times bestselling author takes on President Obama s socialist agenda, his Chicago-style strong-arm tactics, and his Lenin-like complex in Trickle Up Poverty. Savage s quest is to help American s save America from economic Armageddon, and Trickle Up Poverty addresses everything from the global warming myth to the health care debacle to the Tea Party revolution, in an essential conservative manifesto that anyone who loves Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O Reilly, Glen Beck, and Dick Morris must read."
Dr. Savage holds a master's degree in medical botany and a second in medical anthropology. Additionally, he earned his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in epidemiology and nutrition sciences. He is an ardent conservationist, is dedicated to his family, and is a proud patriot of his country.

text: I haven't started a new thread in a long time. Part of that is due to becoming more of a college fan, and the other part is probably growing frustration with the state of things in Dallas. I am a card carrying season ticket holder, but we all know some things have to change. What has frustrated me more than how the results of the games have turned out is the attitudes and behavior of the fans. Watching the Denver game earlier has just further illustrated that. Now I know that most of the blame will go to Jerry and how expensive ticket prices have shut out the casual fan, that the stadium is too big, yada yada. The truth is we need to rebuild this team, AND rebuild our fanbase. Can anyone who has been to the stadium honestly say there is any fan organization? We all know how people cheer when we have the ball. Can anyone say that we have any tradition in our behavior at the games? How can a team with so much history have so little tradition with the fans? Ever since crazy ray died the last little bit has disappeared. What I am proposing is a concentrated effort, not just mere complaining, to improve our gameday atmosphere. A manifesto of fan chants, slogans and traditions to be developed right here at CZ, and distributed before home games. It will be hard, take years and it is easier to complain, but instead of just complaining why don't we try to improve our fanbase? We have no control over personnel moves, but what about the things we can control. If you have a problem with Jerry, fine. Use this thread to find 10 people that agree with you, pull your money together, make a banner, and go to a home game in the standing room section and make something happen. That is just an example. Personally, I'd like to see the changes be something tradition based, something positive. Whatever we do, we can do something.

PHILADELPHIA – The Penn gymnastics team will be back in action this weekend in its first dual meet of the season as the defending Ivy Classic champion. The Quakers finished fourth and third at the GW Invitational and a Rutgers quad-meet, respectively, in their first two meets of the season. They've already competed against one Ivy opponent this season, Cornell, as the two participated in the GW Invitational.
Heading into this meet against another Ivy rival, the Red and Blue are riding high on the back of Dana Bonincontri. The senior put forth two outstanding performances in the Quakers' first two meets, earning ECAC Gymnast of the Week honors after the GW Invitational and finishing first in the all-around at the Rutgers meet.
In addition, co-captain Kirsten Strausbaugh, Makeda Constable, Megan Milavec, and several freshmen will be counted upon to continue contributing to the Quakers overall score. Strausbaugh finished fifth and third in the all-around in two meets. Constable has had a couple quality performances on the uneven bars. Milavec has been contributing in the all-around in the early part of the season, as well.
Finally, freshmen Elyse Shenberger and Carissa Lim have also competed in both meets. Shenberger stood out on the beam in her first meet, opening up competition on the day and placing sixth. Lim stood out on the floor at Rutgers, placing ninth with a career-high.
The two programs met three times last season, with Penn getting the better of the Bulldogs each time. The Quakers traveled up to New Haven, Conn. for their first dual meet of the season in 2012 as well, and defeated Yale 191.224-188.350. The last two times were at last season's Ivy Classic and ECAC Championships – Penn came away with first place in both instances.
The meet gets underway on Sunday at 1 p.m. in New Haven at Payne Whitney Gym.

airmon-ng start wlan0
My USB network card find no wireless connections..
I checked if it listed in USB devices:Code:root@bt:~# iwlist wlan0 scan wlan0 No scan results
Then chescked if my iwlist is up to date:Code:root@bt:~# lsusb Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0bda:8197 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

Then did this thing...Code:root@bt:~# iwlist --version iwlist Wireless-Tools version 30 Compatible with Wireless Extension v11 to v22. Kernel Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22. wlan0 Recommend Wireless Extension v21 or later, Currently compiled with Wireless Extension v22.
But then I run airmon-ng..Code:root@bt:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp auto eth2 iface eth2 inet dhcp auto ath0 iface ath0 inet dhcp auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp root@bt:~# iwconfig lo no wireless extensions. eth0 no wireless extensions. wlan0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:off/any Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:on

So, can someone tell me that is the problem? Why it is not picking up any signal?
Even my cell phone picks few, so that is wrong with my wireless card?
are you putting it in monitor mode?
airmon-ng start wlan0
"Why it is not picking up any signal?
Even my cell phone picks few, so that is wrong with my wireless card?"
Does the wireless card get a signal when placed right next to the Router/Access Point? Does the adapter work with a different operating system like Windows or Ubuntu 11.10?? If it has the same problems in other OS's the card could be defective.
Now the reason I ask if it gets signal when next to the wireless AP is because depending on how your home is built there could be a faraday effect from metal in the walls etc degrading the signal. For example if I go onto our screened patio my cell signal drops 2 bars but once I come back into the house the signal returns to normal.
its broken my card has the same problem
I was reading in an Ubuntu forum that this version B works only with the wrapper, with the windows driver on linux. They listed as resolved in this way.
But I read in the aircrack wiki that is supposedly supported by the mac driver, and that should work out of the box, sadly I think it's just a crappy usb wifi for linux, on windows it's an ok card.
Remove cover, desolder USB connector.
Set oven to 180-190C and 10 minuts.
If u have hotair, u can add some flex on chip and around rf amplifier.
It`s always works and It`s not a joke!
Go into the WICD manager and set the wireless connection to "Wlan0" or "Wlan1". What I mean is whatever one it's on, change it to the other, worked for me.

On May 16, 2013, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Council approved the Revised Section E on Safe Harbours in Chapter IV of the Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
The Revised Section E (Section E) consists of only nine pages, mostly suggestions and guidance for tax authorities evaluating the benefits and concerns regarding safe harbour provisions. Ultimately, Section E cautions tax authorities on the adoption of safe harbours, especially unilateral safe harbours. Nevertheless, Section E advises that if safe harbours are adopted, bilateral or multilateral safe harbours negotiated between Competent Authorities may be the best route.

Borani without Borders
Offering something for everyone, Eclisse Mediterraneo Cucina sacrifices identity for inclusivity.
Golden walls, an open kitchen, and geometric fabrics at Eclisse
Like a lot of larger restaurants in Westchester—all those vast pan-Asians and pan-Mediterraneans—Eclisse Mediterraneo Cucina is hedging its bets.
At the outset, this White Plains sibling of Stamford's Eclisse Italian Cucina (which slings Northern Italian fare) is distinguished by pairing the cuisines of the Mediterranean and "Persia." This is a puzzling bit of geo-political fuzziness that I'm embarrassed to admit I had to research. Turns out that Persia is to Iran what Siam is to Thailand. Specifically, it's an archaic name that holds more romantic currency than modern geographic meaning. And, geographically, the union of the Mediterranean and Persia is a bit of a stretch: Middle Eastern Iran shares a short border with Turkey, whose western border is, in turn, on the eastern Mediterranean. (There's a temporal reach too: from about 550 to 330 BCE, the Persian Empire extended through Turkey to the Mediterranean.) But whether we call Eclisse Persian or Iranian—or Italian (its name means "eclipse" in that language)—it really doesn't matter, because Eclisse Mediterraneo dodges commitment to any specific culture.
Eclisse's lack of specificity starts with its décor, which avoids the heavy-handed set dressing of some Middle Eastern restaurants. Here, you'll find no layered carpets; no onion domes; no gilded mosaics of turbaned princes. Instead, Eclisse's dining room is a nondescript expanse in which a vaguely Moorish, geometrically patterned fabric lines a few walls and pillars.
Fortunately, Eclisse's cocktail program spins some perfumed, Arabian Nights romance with choices like the Sandstorm (Mount Gay rum, house-made Falernum, and fresh citrus); or the Red Sea Wrath (pepper-infused Arak, pomegranate, and fresh orange juice). Yet, conservative drinkers will find the usual suspects in martinis and off-message mojitos and margaritas. Similarly, and attractively priced, its wine list offers picks from Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, and France. Take a moment to ponder your choices (Middle Eastern? Mediterranean?…perhaps a Mexican margarita?) while eating gratis squares of crisped pasta whose addictive crunch echo the shameful deliciousness of Chinese restaurant fried noodles. They're offered with a tangy, lemony labne and a scattering of olives that go a long way toward soothing any geo-political crankiness.
Like its cocktail list, Eclisse's menu is inclusive—to the point of diffusiveness. You'll find superior house-made dolmeh, sweet with macerated raisins and crunchy with pine nuts, that taste of the elusive tannins of their green, leafy wrappers. Yet, somehow, this dish is guilty by menu association with an anonymous mozzarella Caprese. But rakaat—delicious, crisp, cheese rolls filled with firm ricotta salata, mozzarella, and feta—arrived with a subtle mint labne that had me pitying the lactose intolerant. Borani esfenaj (a garlicky spinach dip of amazingly dense, rich yogurt) was perfect for excavating with warm wedges of pita and flatbread, and offered the added bonus of a topping of crisp, frizzled onions.
Sadly, hummus suffered for its banquet-y presentation. The stiff paste was extruded through a star tip—and offered in reddish sun-dried tomato and plain chickpea. And laboo—roasted beets with arugula and crumbled feta—could have appeared in any New American restaurant in Westchester, as could Eclisse's fried calamari rings. Instead, we loved a fluffy, brightly herbal taboule that celebrated the grassy flavor of parsley.
Eclisse's menu welcomes timid diners with a wide selection of Italian pastas and a risotto. The best was the braised veal and beef tortellacci, a meaty, rich ragu-and-pasta dish whose earthy richness echoed tortellini Bolognese.
Of the more specifically Persian dishes, our ground beef and lamb kobideh kebab was dry but tasty, especially with its partner of fluffy barberry rice, though somewhat marred by a regrettable plating choice of a grilled, split, midwinter tomato. Still, we loved its accompanying bowl of powdered, brick-colored sumac, which added a lemony, mildly peppery flavor.
Though a Thursday visit revealed a sparsely inhabited room, on Saturday night, Eclisse is thronged (and its service suffers).
Desserts at Eclisse are as globetrotting as its cocktail list. You'll find a dense chocolate cake, a blueberry bread pudding (from the little-known New England/Persian border), tiramisu, and profiteroles. Of them all, we preferred the crisp, honey-soaked zulbia, which is like a spiral funnel cake, as well as nut-packed, honey-drizzled wedges of delicious baklava. Expect large servings—and plan to swap around historic geopolitical borders.

'Tied, 2-2, entering the third period, the Sabres moved in front on a goal with 14:33 left in the game. Connolly and Clarke MacArthur passed back and forth at the top of the offensive zone, and Connolly fired a perfect shot into the top left corner of the net for a 3-2 lead.'

Dolphin Artists :: Black Flag
Black Flag is an American hardcore punk band formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California, United States, largely the brainchild of Greg Ginn, the guitarist, primary songwriter and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes. Keith Morris was their original lead singer. He left the band suddenly in 1979 to form the well-known band, Circle Jerks. Ron Reyes was the second singer for the band, but decided to leave the band not too long after. Read more on Last.fm more

ThalassemiaMediterranean anemia; Cooley's anemia; Beta thalassemia; Alpha thalassemia
Thalassemia is a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The disorder results in excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia.
See also:
Hemoglobin is made of two proteins: Alpha globin and beta globin. Thalassemia occurs when there is a defect in a gene that helps control production of one of these proteins.
There are two main types of thalassemia:
- Alpha thalassemia occurs when a gene or genes related to the alpha globin protein are missing or changed (mutated).
- Beta thalassemia occurs when similar gene defects affect production of the beta globin protein.
Alpha thalassemias occur most commonly in persons from southeast Asia, the Middle East, China, and in those of African descent.
Beta thalassemias occur in persons of Mediterranean origin, and to a lesser extent, Chinese, other Asians, and African Americans.
There are many forms of thalassemia. Each type has many different subtypes. Both alpha and beta thalassemia include the following two forms:
- Thalassemia major
- Thalassemia minor
You must inherit the defective gene from both parents to develop thalassemia major.
Thalassemia minor occurs if you receive the defective gene from only one parent. Persons with this form of the disorder are carriers of the disease and usually do not have symptoms.
Beta thalassemia major is also called Cooley's anemia.
Risk factors for thalassemia include:
- Asian, Chinese, Mediterranean, or African American ethnicity
- Family history of the disorder
The most severe form of alpha thalassemia major causes stillbirth (death of the unborn baby during birth or the late stages of pregnancy).
Children born with thalessemia major (Cooley's anemia) are normal at birth, but develop severe anemia during the first year of life.
Other symptoms can include:
- Bone deformities in the face
- Fatigue
- Growth failure
- Shortness of breath
- Yellow skin (jaundice)
Persons with the minor form of alpha and beta thalassemia have small red blood cells (which are identified by looking at their red blood cells under a microscope), but no symptoms.
Exams and Tests
A physical exam may reveal a swollen (enlarged) spleen.
A blood sample will be taken and sent to a laboratory for examination.
- Red blood cells will appear small and abnormally shaped when looked at under a microscope.
- A complete blood count (CBC) reveals anemia.
- A test called hemoglobin electrophoresis shows the presence of an abnormal form of hemoglobin.
A test called mutational analysis can help detect alpha thalassemia that cannot be seen with hemoglobin electrophoresis.
Treatment for thalassemia major often involves regular blood transfusions and folate supplements.
If you receive blood transfusions, you should not take iron supplements. Doing so can cause a high amount of iron to build up in the body, which can be harmful.
Persons who receive significant numbers of blood transfusions need a treatment called chelation therapy to remove excess iron from the body.
A bone marrow transplant may help treat the disease in some patients, especially children.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Severe thalassemia can cause early death due to heart failure, usually between ages 20 and 30.Getting regularblood transfusionsand therapy to remove iron from the body helps improve the outcome.
Less severe forms of thalassemia usually do not shorten lifespan.
Genetic counseling and prenatal screening may help people with a family history of this condition who are planning to have children.
Possible Complications
Untreated, thalassemia major leads to heart failure and liver problems, and makes a person more likely to develop infections.
Blood transfusions can help control some symptoms. However, they may result in too much iron, which can damage the heart, liver, and endocrine system.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
- You or your child has symptoms of thalassemia
- You are being treated for the disorder and new symptoms develop

A Doyle ManBy Michael Dirda
The Hound of the Baskervilles, by Arthur Conan Doyle, was the first grown-up book I ever read—and it changed my life. Back in the late 1950s, my fifth-grade class belonged to an elementary school book club. Each month our teacher would pass out a four-page newsletter describing several dozen paperbacks available for purchase. I remember buying Jim Kjelgaard's Big Red and a thriller called Treasure at First Base, as well as Geoffrey Household's Mystery of the Spanish Cave. Lying on my bed at home, I lingered for hours over these newsprint catalogues, carefully making my final selections.
I had to. Each month my mother would allow me to purchase no more than four of the twenty-five- and thirty-five-cent paperbacks. Not even constant wheedling and abject supplication could shake her resolve. "What do you think we are, made of money? What's wrong with the library?" Read More

Tornados host Wingate in SAC tournament quarterfinalMarch 1, 2010
Tipoff in Boshamer Gymnasium set for 7 p.m.
Brevard, N.C. - The Tornados men's basketball team opens up postseason play on Wednesday, March 3rd, as Brevard will host their 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference quarterfinal opponent Wingate in Boshamer Gymnasium at 7 p.m.
In just their second season as full members of the South Atlantic Conference and NCAA Division II, the Brevard College men's basketball team, coached by Michael Jones, went 18-9, 10-6 in conference play to clinch the third-seed in the tournament.
The contributions of the Tornados senior class and the play of junior guard Josh Roper were one of the main components to the Tornados play this season as Brevard improved by six games over last season's total, including finishing the season with winning records at home, on the road and at neutral sites.
Roper led the Tornados in scoring on the season, finishing up the regular season fourth in the conference with 19.9 points per game, while also finishing among the leaders in rebounding, assists, free throw percentage and steals. The junior from Charlotte, N.C. also recorded the Brevard single game scoring record with 41 points against Erskine on January 18th, which is tied for the seventh-best single game performance in South Atlantic Conference history.
Senior forward Jonathan Whitson also guided the Tornados offense, carrying the team down on the blocks for most of the season in averaging 17.9 points per game and finishing second in the conference in rebounds at 8.1 per game. Whitson, the Brevard College career scoring and rebounding leader at 1,961 points and 904 rebounds, has over 40 double-doubles in his illustrious career at Brevard and set a school record this season, hitting 14 straight free throws against Wingate on January 16th.
Other top performers for Brevard include senior center Sam Carlisle, senior guard/forward Nathan Whitmire and senior guard Darin Dellinger.
Carlisle has taken over the paint in the second half of the season for the Tornados in averaging 11.3 points per game and finishing up the season third in the SAC in rebounding at 7.4. Whitmire has come on strong as well for Brevard over the last few weeks, setting new career highs against Catawba with 22 points and six steals against the Indians, scoring in double figures in each of Brevard's last three games.
Dellinger has provided the steady hand in the offense on the season. The Brevard College All-Time assist leader at 227 in his career as a Tornado, Dellinger has handed out seven helpers in three games this season and is among the leaders in assists per game on the year with 3.67 per game.
Traveling to Brevard in the quarterfinals will be the sixth-seeded Wingate Bulldogs who come into the contest with a record of 14-13, 7-9 in conference play. Wingate is currently 5-7 on the road this season, with one of the wins coming in Brevard on February 13th.
All five Wingate starters are in double figures for the season, led by freshman forward Odell Turner at 11.9 points per game. Jaime Vaughn, Paidrick Matilus and Larry Staley are also averaging over 11 points per game, while Quan Alexander rounds out the group at 10.7.
Turner also leads the Bulldogs in averaging 7.0 rebounds in the year, finishing fifth in the South Atlantic Conference in the category.
The Tornados and Bulldogs split the regular season series at 1-1 with Brevard winning in Wingate, N.C., 88-87, while the Bulldogs returned the favor, defeating the Tornados 93-81 in Boshamer Gymnasium.
Game time is set for 7 p.m. and South Atlantic Conference ticket prices for the quarterfinal games are $6 for all adults and booster club members (All-Sports passes are void for the South Atlantic Conference tournament), and $3 for children, students and college students with ID.
