Franke Music Releases Stroke Machine – Groove Synth App For iPad
Franke Music, a new German concern founded by former Waldorf software developer Wolfram Franke, has released its debut product, Stroke Machine, a drum and groove synthesizer for Apple's iPad (iOS 6.0 or higher).
As implied by name, Stroke Machine lets users program their own rhythm and groove patterns and switch between them at a stroke in a live performance, mute or solo individual instruments, change parameters on the fly, and record performances as audio files for sharing or subsequent editing on a computer.
» 12 drum and percussion sound parts
» 12 melodic sound parts
» Number of voices only limited by CPU
» Four multi-effect busses
» Pattern with up to eight bars and 16th resolution, bar nominator and denominator freely adjustable
» Swing
» 128 patterns including all sounds in direct access
» Modulation sequencer for smooth or quantized automation of each continuous sound and bus parameter Track and solo mute
» Sample import
» Audio export of a pattern or the whole performance
» AudioBus Support
» WIST support
Stroke Machine's user interface is specifically suited to overcoming subpar lighting conditions that are typically associated with onstage operation. Similarly, Stroke Machine's synthesizer engine features oscillator, filter, overdrive, and effect models; fast envelopes and LFO; a pattern sequencer; and a sample, sound, and pattern library.
Sound creation possibilities come courtesy of Osc 1 and Osc 2 — both containing analog waveforms and sample playback; frequency and ring modulation; and a separate white and pink Noise generator with integrated multimode filter. All tone generators are summed into a Transient generator, followed by another multimode Filter and a Drive module (with several types), a sample rate converter and bit depth reduction stage (Redux), and a two-band EQ with shelf and bell curves. Freely-assignable modulations with an interface (Assign) offer flexibility. Each sound is mixed into one of four FX busses — each featuring a sum overdrive (Drive), a compressor, a modulation effect (such as chorus, flanger, phaser, or sum filter), and a space effect (such as delay or clocked delay, and natural, plate, or non-linear reverb choices).
Franke Music's Stroke Machine is available from Apple's App Store for an introductory price of $14.99 / €13.99 until December 26th; rising to $19.99 / €17.99 thereafter.

The Ultimate Jake Bass collection!
See Jake Before He Was The Superstar He Is Today!
With eyes that will melt your heart, the face of an angel, and the mind of a devil, Jake Bass shows you just how bad he can be. See him in some of his first scenes that show off his insatiable sexuality, as well as his spectacular money shots. Jake is normally a "top" kindof guy, but when he's paired with smooth and sexy Justin Lebeau he can't give up the booty fast enough. Justin pretzels Jake's legs so he can drive his dick in deep and hard. Jake goes after Jason Martin's hole like a jackrabbit, pistoning in and out with lightning fast strokes.
Producer: Videoboys, 98 min.
Starring: Jake Bass, Arnaud Chagall, Jason Martin, Justin Lebeau, Sonny Stewart

Ever wonder how those über-connected, first-name-basis-with-everybody, got-the-governor-on-speed-dial kind of people got that way? One introduction at a time. Here's how to do it yourself.
The following content originally appeared onThisWayToCPA.com. It is reprinted with permission of the American Institute of CPAs. Accountemps is an alliance partner of the AICPA. Learn more about our partnership and member discount program.
Make it a priority. Even on a crowded campus – or in a city for that matter – it still takes a little effort to get to know people. But it's worth the trouble; after all, isn't every one of your friends a former total stranger? Besides, the stats say about 80 percent of all jobs are never listed or advertised. They get filled because somebody knows somebody. One of those somebodies could be you.
Make a list. Just starting to piece together your web of acquaintances? It's probably already more expansive than you realize. Here's a list of potential contacts for brainstorming. As you jot down names and fill in the blanks, remember also that these folks will know other folks, who can refer you to other folks, any of whom may be involved in the profession.
- Family: Dad, mom, stepdad, stepmom, sister, brother, stepsister, stepbrother, aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparents, nieces and nephews, relatives of your significant other
- Friends, significant other, significant other's friends
- Roommates/classmates in high school/college
- Coaches, teachers, professors
- Fellow athletes
- Fraternity/sorority members
- People you work for/people your friends work for/people you used to work for, if they still like you
- Neighbors/community members
- Church/synagogue/temple members
- Political party affiliations
- People you volunteer with
- Members of social organizations you're involved in
- Members of professional associations
- Your accountant/lawyer/banker/insurance agent/stockbroker
- Your dentist/optometrist
- Your hairstylist/mechanic (not the same person, we hope)
- People who work in personnel, placement, search agencies
Keep track. Trying to get a recommendation from "this one guy I met" is rarely effective. When you get to know someone who may want to help you out in your career – or who you might want to help; it goes both ways – get that person's contact info in your phone (remember to include the email address), on your computer, or (and only as a last resort) scribbled on the nearest napkin. (It's better than nothing. And as soon as you can, store it with all the others.)
Be on the lookout. Sure, you hobnob with peers and potential contacts at job fairs, conferences and tradeshows, but you could also very well bump into your future boss or coworker at a concert. Or the coffee shop. Or the snowcone stand. The better you are at striking up a conversation, the more opportunities you'll get to make these connections. And once you do make that connection, it'll help to have your "elevator speech" ready. That's the 20-word synopsis of what you're all about, professionally.
What's your best advice on how to network? Please share it in the comments section below.

Here, you don't just learn – you do. Everything about WPI is designed to stimulate your curiosity, challenge you, and support you so that you can imagine anything and innovate everything.
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is a nationally renowned, private research university college focused on science, technology, engineering, and math. WPI's founding motto of "Theory and Practice" provides a distinctive approach to education by balancing rigorous academics with hands-on learning. At WPI, students go above and beyond traditional classroom education. Here, you don't just learn – you do. Everything about WPI is designed to stimulate your curiosity, challenge you, and support you so that you can imagine anything and innovate everything.
WPI's unique project-based education converts classroom concepts into real-world impact. The WPI Plan (wpi.edu/wpi-plan) will set you apart in the world first as a student, then as a sought-after young professional, and ultimately across your career and life. In 1970, the WPI Plan was a bold experiment. Today, it's a proven and highly effective model for undergraduate learning that's both adaptable and rigorous.
All WPI students complete two projects that allow them to tackle issues they feel passionate about and make a lasting difference on the world around us from improving access to clean water in rural communities to developing robots for underwater research. Through the Plan, you learn how to learn by applying your classroom experiences to projects that challenge you from a proficiency, social, and global perspective.
WPI was recently ranked No. 1 by the Wall Street Journal for "The Top Faculties; Schools that do the Best in Combining Scholarly Research with Classroom Instruction" and consistently receives high rankings as one of America's Best Colleges, according to the U.S. News & World Report. The university has earned praise and attention for its project-based curriculum, small class sizes, robust career services, study-abroad opportunities, return on investment, and ability to create futures. These results are typical at WPI. The education you get here is anything but. Find out more at wpi.edu/+formula.
One of the more unique aspects of the WPI curriculum is the project activity, which includes the Major Qualifying Project (MQP) and the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) for juniors and seniors, both of which are done with an advisor and often involve off-campus sponsorship. This, along with the grading system (students are awarded a grade of A, B, C, or No Record) "encourages cooperation among students rather than cut-throat competition." Classes run in a quarter system (three classes for each of the four seven-week terms), which means faculty is "forced to only teach us the most important material, without material that may be considered 'filler material.'"
The majority of professors are "very engaging" and "present material in better ways then just showing Powerpoint slides one after the other." As you get into higher level classes the subjects are more focused, and "almost all classes have a lab component." Students are "always helping one another, [and] everyone (including the professors) wants the students to succeed." The project-based learning and reputation of WPI gives students "the ability to work on real engineering projects around the world." As one sophomore puts it: "WPI won't teach you everything you need to know to be a good engineer, but they'll teach you where to find all the information you need to face any obstacle."
Students are academically engaged during the week "because it's practically a requirement at WPI," but know how to let go on weekends and occasional weeknights. With around 200 organizations and "a very active Social Committee" there is always something happening on campus, such as "free movies on weekends (post-theater but pre-DVD release)," "dances, fundraisers, activities, socials, concerts," LARPing, and robot competitions. "We definitely are a geeky campus," says a student. Now, "a geeky tech school is not the place someone would expect to find a flourishing Greek community," says a student. "But in fact the Panhellenic community on campus is excellent."
The Jeanne Clery Act requires colleges and universities to disclose their security policies, keep a public crime log, publish an annual crime report and provide timely warnings to students and campus employees about a crime posing an immediate or ongoing threat to students and campus employees.
Please visit The Princeton Review's page on campus safety for additional resources: http://www.princetonreview.com/safety
The Princeton Review publishes links directly to each school's Campus Security Reports where available. Applicants can also access all school-specific campus safety information using the Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool provided by the Office of Postsecondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education: http://ope.ed.gov/security

→ Safety & First Aid
| Safety & First Aid
There are about 80,000 chemicals in the marketplace today -- more than enough to make parents who are concerned about chemicals pull out their hair. Simplify and pay attention to just three ways your child might be exposed.
Choose clean food and drinks, and pay special attention to the plastics that go in the mouth, especially those used to store, heat, or serve food and drinks. Chemicals in the plastics can leach out and enter your child. Notice the recycling symbols on the bottoms of many plastics. Opt for symbols 1, 2, 4, or 5. Or choose brands like BornFree, where the entire line of toddler sippy cups, pacifiers, baby bottles, and plastic water bottles are free from BPA, phthalates, and PVC. Or skip plastic, and go with something like glass or stainless steel.
Chemicals in lotions and creams can be absorbed through the skin. We read the ingredients on food; it's time to learn to read ingredient lists on skin products as well, and choose those you trust. Sunscreen is a great place to start. I prefer sunscreens that rely on minerals, like zinc or titanium, rather than relying on chemicals that might act as hormones in the body.
Clean air may seem overwhelming. After all, you don't have much control over other people's exhaust pipes and smokestacks. But the air that matters most is the air in your own home, where your child sleeps at night. Indoor air is usually more polluted than outdoor air, so you can often make a big difference just by opening the windows. Replace cleaning products that have harsh fumes or artificial fragrances (anything that says, "Use in a Well-Ventilated Space" probably isn't good for your child). And you might consider houseplants or an air filter to help clean your air.

The Yon Tane-o Maku, roughly translated to Four Seeds A Day, were special seeds created by the Agasha family. The seeds contained parts of all the elements, and if a person were to eat four such seeds a day they would require no other sustenance. They were sought after by all the clans, and the Crab Clan in particular would trade for them to give to their Hiruma Scouts.[1]

- Sea-Level Rise
Climate change has become a "hot button" issue for many city officials and planners around the world as cities continue to experience a greater incidences of increased water temperatures; an increased frequency and intensity of hurricanes or other extreme weather events. Many scientific indicators suggest that today's climatic experience is markedly different from conditions that prevailed as little as one hundred years ago. For example, the average annual temperature, globally, has risen by 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of the last century. In the United States alone, the year 2012 was characterized by numerous heat waves, historic drought conditions, multiple intense storm events, and registered as the hottest overall year since record keeping began in 1895.
Local governments are increasingly concerned about the impacts of climate change upon their existing transportation, energy, and water infrastructure which, in many instances, is ill-prepared to meet the challenges of these extreme and unanticipated weather and climat conditions. For many cities, climate change and extreme weather has translated into steep economic costs to public safety, public health, food security, and emergency management. While the causes of climate change may be more commonly attributed to human or natural activity depending on the point of view, few deny that cities and local governments must increasingly find ways to plan for and implement sustainable responses to climate change and extreme weather.
Local governments are actively embracing climate adaptation and resilience as strategies to alleviate the long term costs of climate change. While there are some notable examples of cities on the cutting edge, using climate science and technology to implement local policy responses to climate change, other cities are early in the process of understanding climate vulnerabilities and implications on their city services.

Last.FM Milestones so far
11 jan. 2010, 9h35m par lillelund
Museum to Slut to Blackmail to Ken
9 déc. 2009, 22h17m par crouchingotterOnce upon a time some Spam Artist decided to go around a bunch of people's Last.fm profiles and say something along the lines of "Hey! Check out Museum cos they're a proper good unsigned band!"
For some reason unknown to me I actually clicked on the link to Museum's page and I listened to Flowers And Dust, For The Very First Time, To Have Or To Be, Uncorrupted, Eden and The Law.
I immediately liked what I heard and was disappointed to learn that dispite having several thousand listeners that they were still unsigned.
Turns out though that these guys.... are from Germany.
Now, it might be because I'm British and my only exposure to German "RAWK!!!" music has been Rammstein, but I didn't have a clue that there were some German bands out there putting out excellent alternative/indie rock.
Thanks to Museum, I found Slut. Slut have strangely never been to the UK. Perhaps their name has something to do with it but having done some research it seems that "Slut"…
Bands/Artists I've Gotten Into, Thanks to Last.fm
10 jui. 2007, 19h53m par stine06This will be a journal I shall update whenever I find a new band or artist (thanks to Last.fm) that I dig. :)
I don't even remember HOW I found 1800s Sea Monster, but I did. And I am so happy that I did. It's raw, experimental, sometimes low quality (sound-wise), but jesus christ I dig it. Also... it's free. Yeppers. Jakob Battick (jakobbattick) said it himself, "I feel selling music is kind of a retarded concept." How can you not give someone's, who says that, music a chance?! :P
Songs I can't stop listening to over and over:
1. The King with the Iron Lung
2. Staring At The Stars / Make It To Your Party
3. 11
4. 12
5. 13
1800s Sea Monster's Last.fm
1800s Sea Monster's Myspace
My friend called Museum a German Interpol. Though I will have to agree slightly, I mostly disagree. They have their own flavor. The beginning of Flowers And Dust really reminds me of Interpol, but that is the biggest connection that I see. …

All the notable news, links, pictures, and video in and around Friartown and college basketball all in one digestible, tasty place
The guys Looking sharp representing PC at BIG EAST Media Day today.
Like Coach Cooley, I was a little shocked at the Friars being picked to finish last in the coaches' poll. However, the team has done nothing over the past several years to prove otherwise. The front court has a lot of questions, and we don't know how Kris Dunn is going to bounce back from his injury. I think the Friars will definitely finish better than 15th, but there a few unknowns that must be overcome in order to do so.
I attended PC's New York Sports Night last night at PJ Clarke's on the Hudson and it was a fantastic time. I met Cooley and Henton, and got to talk to a lot of great Friar fans. I'll have more about the night tomorrow.
Big East Coas Bias: Big East Basketball Preview: Superlatives
How did Rutgers beat PC for "Most likely to be really good next season"? I like Mike Rice and all, but this is Rutgers, guy.
Most Lofty Expectations to Handle
Kris Dunn – Providence: It's doubtful he'll ever play at 100 percent this season, and when he does, Friars fans will expect greatness. Ed Cooley plucked two blue chip prospects from the class of 2012; Dunn and Ricardo Ledo. With Ledo academically ineligible, the spotlight shifts square on Dunn, who will have lofty expectations to fulfill.
Most likely to draw frequent ire from his head coach
Vincent Council – Providence: Was 5th in the conference last season in FG attempts, but was a mediocre 39 percent from the floor. With the Friars getting some national attention this pre-season, Council may feel compelled to let it fly early and often.
In talking with LaDontae Henton last night, he said Lee Goldsbrough "has gotten a lot better".
NJ.com: Big East, MSG reach 10-year extension to keep Big East Tournament at the Garden
This is very good news. My dream of going to the Garden for a Friar BET game past a Wednesday is still alive, baby!
During the league's annual men's basketball media day Wednesday morning, new commissioner Mike Aresco announced that the Big East has signed a 10-year contract extension with Madison Square Garden, ensuring that it's most visible event will stay in the home it's enjoyed for the last 30 years.
The race for 2013 guard Ron Patterson is heating up. After canceling his visit to SMU (maybe because they got Sterling Brown?), it looks like UConn (who is also after Brandon Austin too) and Syracuse are now involved according to Brewster coach Jason Smith. A UConn assistant visited Brewster today.
Remember the Keno Davis e-mail spam fiasco from a few weeks ago? The school was NOT happy. There was talk of legal recourse, but I couldn't tell if it was serious or not. I would gladly make a donation if it was guaranteed to go to legal bills for this.
Providence Journal: Dollars-and-sense approach
The Friars are benefiting financially from schools leaving the BIG EAST and the conference's overall success in the NCAA Tournament lately. Straight cash, homey.
As a result of agreements reached between the Big East and four schools that have either left, or will soon leave, the conference has an exit-fee pool of $40 million. That amount will soon increase once departure terms for Notre Dame are negotiated. An even larger pool of money is disbursed every year to members via the NCAA's Basketball Distribution Fund. Because of an unprecedented run of success in the NCAA Tournament since the Big East last expanded seven years ago, the conference pockets checks from the fund worth more than $25 million every year.
PC athletic director Bob Driscoll confirmed that the exit fees are being used "to cover some major expens- es," and added that at some point, the remaining money would be distributed to conference members. "For a school our size, it is a significant amount of money," Driscoll said.
Connecticut Post: Chris Elsberry: Realigned Big East basketball will have big mountain to climb
It's all good. The Friars are already climbing a mountain, biting asses etc.
"It's hard to argue that top to bottom, we're not the best basketball conference in America," along with saying that "the future is indeed promising."
Only it's not promising. It's downright unsettled.
YouTube: PC Late Night Madness
Cox Sports coverage of Late Night Madness.
ESPN: 2012 BIG EAST Media Day
A good rundown of the day in NYC.
Providence: "We've got seven who can play right now. That's the situation we have and while it's not ideal, I'm the most optimistic guy in the world because I don't see that. I really don't." — Ed Cooley
Nice pic from Late Night Madness
Anyone got some $$ they don't want? You can bet on the Friars to win the national championship at 100-1 odds. Hey, it's the same chance as Butler, West Virginia, and Marquette!
Friar Basketball: Sidiki Touches on his Eligibility, Versatility and (no) Rust
Getting Sidiki for the first semester would be huge, but I'm not really holding my breath.
On the adjustment from Arizona to Providence: "It's been great. The people here are so lovely. I really do like it here a lot. It's a great atmosphere and a great campus. I can't wait until I step out on that court – hopefully it's October 27 – but I just can't wait."
When asked if there was any update on his potential first semester eligibility he nodded towards Ed Cooley on his left and said "you'll have to ask him about that" before saying that he was still awaiting final word.

A Judging Society
It's Effects: 2015
As I sit here, sipping my coffee & planning my day, I began to think of all the people who I have let influence my decision making over the years based on the either "Social Norms" of Today or Yesteryear. Why have I let so many people change My Mind? My Plans? My Personality? My Life? It finally came to me half way through my coffee. I was afraid of being Judged!
Society today will condemn & outcast you if you don't conform to a certain way of life. When you stand up for something you believe in, you classified as a rebellion. Opinions and Individuality are now almost none existent.
If you are a Young Adult, you are pressured to be "Normal". How can you be something that in actuality & reality doesn't exist. Everyone learns at different paces, has different personalities, there is not one person who is exactly the same. They may have similar traits, but that's where it ends. To many Young Adults have this need to be "Perfect", all because society won't accept anything different. We are setting them up for failure.
As an Adult, this "Perfection" aspect carries on. You get married, yet your marriage isn't like the cookie cutter ones you see blasted all over social media. Now your mind is filled with doubt. Instead of trying to fix it, you give up because society tells marriage isn't worth it anymore. Society tells you it's harder being married and will be less acceptable if you choose to start a family! Wow, society really has some balls!
Now say you have children, married or not. In today's society you will be judged on just about everything you do as a parent. Society will put the fear of God in you! People who didn't have anxiety, now look at mental institutions as a vacation spot! I mean how dare you attempt to actually raise Your child based on Your morals, Your values, or Wait For It.... How You Want! Nope, you will be judged if you don't change every fiber of your being to please society.
Due to all this, children lack respect, discipline, morals & values! Suicide rates in children are escalating due to unnecessary judgements. Parents divorce because they feel that is the only way to be accepted. Our children are dying because of the overwhelming pressure to be perfect. Now I am only one person, One voice, but at least for my family, starting today, I am going to stop caring so much what society thinks. As a mother of 4 amazing, beautiful, smart children, it's my job to give them everything they need to succeed in this life! Sorry society but right now your an Epic Fail!

Lynn Shelton's "My Effortless Brilliance" is a study in the relationship between cocky, fussy, thoroughly-city-mouse author Eric (Sean Nelson) and his ex-best-friend, the tersely powerful journalist and wood-chopper Dylan (Basil Harris). Dylan, fed up with Eric's self-involved antics, dumps him and disappears to live in a log cabin in the woods of Eastern Washington; two years later, Eric arrives (sporting a Prius, white sneakers, and a fear of spiders) to mend the friendship.

Skills Gap Analysis & Sector Strategies
In mid-2016, WorkForce Central on behalf of the Workforce Development Council commissioned studies of the top six employment sectors within Pierce County. The studies examined workforce supply and demand through 2023 alongside targeted stakeholder feedback to build a comprehensive picture of the Pierce County workforce.
Nearly half of Pierce County's workers commute out of the county for work. Pierce County has more workers than jobs, but employers aren't enjoying the benefits of the surplus. Employers compete for qualified workers with Seattle and King County, where wages tend to be higher and "brand name" companies like Amazon, Microsoft and Boeing attract candidates due to perceptions around prestige and opportunities for advancement.
To learn more, download our at-a-glance summary here.
For a comprehensive overview of the data, click here.
Health Care
Health care is Pierce County's largest private industry, comprising more than 15 percent of the county's total employment. When combined with government employment, more than 43,700 people work in health care in the county.
- "Direct care" is the fastest-growing segment in the industry
- Projected growth rate of 2 percent annually through 2023
- Direct care occupations include certified nursing assistants, medical assistants, and home health and personal care aides
- Demand for registered nurses exceeds supply, creating an ongoing shortage over the next several years.
Construction Industry
Employing more than 24,460 people in Pierce County, construction is the second-largest industry in Pierce County. Demand for workers is not expected to ease: construction is one of the fastest-growing industries in the county.
- Average annual wage of $60,899—nearly $3,000 more than the regional average wage
- Construction provides a viable career option regardless of education level
Military & Defense
Not including the 33,000 active duty military personnel stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the industry employs about 12,460 workers, including more than 9,000 civilians employed on-base. Notably, Pierce County's defense industry received more than $490 million in Department of Defense contracts in 2015 alone.
- JBLM provides a strong supply of talented workers and programs that help match transitioning service members with jobs
- Highly-skilled retired military personnel may not have adequate access to commercial credentials or certifications to meet job requirements
Transportation, Warehousing & Logistics
The transportation, warehousing and logistics industry is highly concentrated in Pierce County, employing 12,000 workers and 14 percent of the statewide workforce for the industry.
- Stakeholders report difficulty hiring and retaining qualified workers due to deficiencies in basic math and essential/soft skills
- Employers in this industry compete for workers with companies in Seattle or King County that pay higher wages
- They also compete with other industries, such as construction and advanced manufacturing, for similarly qualified candidates
ICT & Cybersecurity
Though small compared to King County, the ICT and cybersecurity industry has a growing presence in Pierce County. Employers find it easy to fill entry-level positions but difficult to fill mid- to senior-level positions. Cybersecurity occupations (information security analysts in particular) are projected to see the strongest growth through 2023.
- Wages in ICT and cybersecurity are higher than the regional average
- Local employers compete with King County employers who offer higher pay and "brand name" opportunities for advancement
- Additionally, employers face increasing competition from virtually all other industries as information technology grows more integral to the modern economy
Advanced Manufacturing
Pierce County is part of a four-county region with a thriving advanced manufacturing industry, including aerospace, computer equipment and ship building. Employers find online job boards difficult to work with and inefficient in producing qualified applicants for their open positions. They prefer recruiting directly through workforce development programs.
- Basic math and essential/soft skills appear to be the biggest obstacle to finding qualified candidates
- Many employers willingly train employees internally but risk losing their investment when the trained worker leaves for other jobs either within the industry or in competing industries like construction

Q: You went to Skyline High School in Oakland (Ca.), the home of the legendary … ?
A: Forrest Gump?
Q: No, Marvel Smith.
A: Oh, yeah, Marvel, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Q: Forrest Gump?
A: Well, Tom Hanks did go there.
Q: I don't suppose there's a statue of Marvel at the school?
A: No, but there are a couple of pictures of him up in the coach's office; one while he was at Arizona State and one while he was with the Steelers.
Q: Have you talked to him since you joined the team?
A: Yeah, I did talk to him. Actually, he bought my college (team's) bowl rings a couple of years ago. He comes around a lot. He runs a camp at our high school every summer. I talk to him a lot actually. We've been communicating since he's been in camp. I'll text him or phone him or when I go home I see him in person and we talk. He's a great guy.
Q: That's right, you two went to the same junior college, didn't you?
A: Actually, we just played for the same coach. Our high school coach became the head coach at the junior college (Laney Junior College).
Q: So you played high school and JC ball for John Beam?
A: Yes. We won championships every year except for one year, my junior year in high school. Both years in junior college we won conference and bowl games. In three out of four years in high school we won the conference.
Q: How good of a coach is he?
A: He's a great coach. He taught me the game of football, everything from being physical to using speed, everything. He's just a great coach.
Q: What did Marvel say to you about joining the Steelers?
A: He just said it's a blue-collar town, it's a great team, a great organization, that I'm really going to like it, and that I'll fit in great with my work ethic and how hard I play and practice, and so far it's so true.
Q: Marvel grew up in a real rough part of Oakland. Did you grow up nearby?
A: Yeah, I was right there in the same neighborhood, West Oakland, grew up there all my life. By the blessing of God I was able to overcome a lot.
Q: How bad is it there?
A: It's pretty rough. I had a friend, a real close friend, get a scholarship to the University of Oregon and he was shot and killed the night before he left. I had another friend who was supposed to leave for Arizona State University and he was shot and paralyzed two days before he was supposed to leave. There are a bunch of stories like that, a bunch of friends who ended up dying, growing up and falling short of dreams and aspirations. Yeah, there are rough conditions around the neighborhood.
Q: If you fall short here, do you have to go back to that?
A: No, luckily I got my college degree. God has a plan for me. Right now, I'm here and trying as hard as I can to make this ballclub. But God always has a plan for me. I've grown up in church and I've been successful at everything I've done in life. When something hasn't worked out, I've overcome a lot. To say I'll fall short right now …
Q: Let me put it this way: When you make this team, will you get the rest of your family out of there?
A: Yeah, obviously. You know, that's a great motivating factor. I have two younger brothers back home and I think about them every day. Talked to them last night and school is getting ready to start and I just miss my time with them. I hope they're doing well and I try to give them positive thoughts about, you know, how to just overcome everything. Sometimes people aren't mentally strong maybe as I was, to say no to certain things, or certain friends, or certain things that can get you caught up in going down the wrong path. I try to talk to my brothers and tell them that if they want to do something positive in life, this is the road they need to go.
Q: How old are your brothers?
A: One is 17. He's actually at the junior college with my coach now doing a real good job. And I have a 10-year-old brother.
Q: How good's the player?
A: Oh, he's a real good player. He's about 6-5, 285.
Q: Are we going to be hearing about him?
A: Yeah. He's a true freshman now.
Q: Do you want some of that 6-5?
A: (Laughs) Ah, you know, maybe an inch or two.
Q: What was the key? The church? Your mom?
A: I had a great supporting cast, and when you have a great supporting cast, every time you want to fall back you've got a brick wall that keeps pushing you forward. It's hard to fall back with my grandmother and my mother and my aunt. And my high school coach always stayed on top of me. There were times he beat me up and cussed me out, but it was a great job by him. He mentored me. He was the guy telling me that if you want something out of life, if you want a scholarship, this is what you have to do: You have to go to school, you have to get good grades, you have to stay out of trouble. That was something that I dearly wanted, a scholarship, and listening to him helped me get on that road. He gave me his word that if I did everything I could in the classroom and on the field that he would be able to get me a scholarship. And when that time came, he delivered.
Q: Was USC out of the picture because of grades? Is that why you went to junior college?
A: No, actually I went to Cal-Berkley out of high school.
Q: Marvel could've gone there, but he said he needed to get out of the area. He said it was the best move he made.
A: Yeah, obviously I ended up leaving Berkley and going to a junior college and then going from junior college to UNLV, which was a great, great move. I really enjoyed it. Not just because it was Vegas, but because it gave me a chance to get away from home. It helped me mature, you know, getting away from my family and taking care of business. It gave me a great opportunity to mature and grow up.
Q: When I saw in Steelers Digest, under the heading 'What will you do with your rookie bonus?' that you answered 'Pay off all my credit cards.' I was worried that you may have gambled too much in Vegas.
A: Nah. When I left town, I stayed on my own. I didn't go back home. I figure once you leave home, you stay on your own. At one point I was working two jobs, going to school, and it was in-season. So I wasn't sleeping at all, and after a while it gets tiring. I just paid about two credit cards worth of rent, and after a while you still got ball, you still got school, no time to work anymore, so it just stacked up.
Q: But you're sure your brothers are cool?
A: Yeah, they're doing real good.
Q: You and Marvel must have lots to talk about. I presume Marvel understands everything you're going through?
A: Yeah, he does, he does. He's a great guy and gives back a lot back home and the people back home really love him.

DIY Washing Machine Repair
DIY stands for "Do it Yourself" and it is a trend that has gotten more and more popular in the last few years. It is a good trend too because it encourages all of us to take ownership over our problems and try to fix things at home first before calling a repairman. But sometimes we shy away from DIY when it comes to major appliances like the washing machine. But of all of the household appliances, the typical washing machine is one that you can perform some basic repairs on as long as you know when and where to draw the line and call in the professionals.
Many of the things that might go wrong with your washing machine are simple repairs that you can do yourself. If a hose develops a leak, you can take that hose off, go to the hardware store and get a replacement and install another one. It really is no more difficult than loosening a couple screws, removing the clamps and hoses and putting the new ones on afterward reversing the process. There is no more basic "DIY" project than that. And when you are done and you push your washing machine back into place and it works perfectly, you can feel like a real handyman because you did it yourself.
The heart of good repair for a washing machine is preventative maintenance. If you can inspect your washing machine a couple times a year, you can often spot a frayed belt or a hose that is ready to spring a leak and effect a repair before the problem shuts down the washing machine for a while. The process of performing a preventative maintenance check is very simple…
. Clear the area around the washer so you can get behind it to open the back.
. Make sure you have plenty of light. A "hands free" flashlight is perfect for looking into the "guts" of the washing machine.
. Turn off the water to the washing machine and unplug it. Keep a shallow bucket handy so that if you do have to take off a hose to tighten up the clamps, you can catch any water that comes out.
. Take off the back. This is usually possible with a good screwdriver.
. Inspect and clean the insides. Most of the time, the problems washers develop come from stuff that falls down into the works from clothing. If you can clean out any paperclips, pens, pennies or other objects that could eventually damage the workings of the washing machine, you will have avoided most repair situations.
. Note any worn parts and take notes for your repair work later.
. Tighten anything that is loose.
. Vacuum out the dust and mess to reduce fire hazard
. Open the hoses and clean them out from the gunk that builds up in the joints between machine and hose.
Now you just put it all back together and you have completed the most important DIY repair there is, repairing something before it breaks.

From the architect. The presented project consists in the transformation of nine houses for tourism in a rural area, dispersed by the small village of Trebilhadouro which, given its reduced size and the proximity between constructions, sees most of its built heritage being subject for a joint rehabilitation.
The village of Trebilhadouro is located on the west side of Serra da Freita, in Vale de Cambra, at about 625m altitude. Its strategic position provides a privileged view of the surrounding territory, in particular of the Ria de Aveiro.
© Arménio Teixeira
It is a small village, where the buildings are located along a central route that crosses the whole township. This route, with access from the municipal road, crosses a series of agricultural terraces to reach a more stable height where Trebilhadouro is located. In the centre of the village there is a fountain and a small dam for watering the lands.
© Arménio Teixeira
The buildings are small, mostly with two floors, built in stone masonry with roof structure, the intermediate floors are in wood and roofing is in ceramic roof tiles. The ground floor was mainly intended for animals and agricultural implements while the upper floor was reserved for housing. These are modest houses with very reduced areas and rudimentary construction, emphasizing the quality of the architectural aggregation and its implantation in the territory.
The village was in a fragile situation, the buildings left in ruins had few memories of its past, becoming a necessity to rewrite one. Based on the existing constructions and with an analysis of the buildings in the region, an intervention principle was reached by focusing on recovering the characteristic architectural language of these constructions. The punctual extensions followed the primitive constructive principle, both on a material level and in its design. A homogeneous and coherent image was sought for the group of intervened houses.

The size of the village didn't allow for a great diversity and contrast of languages. The opportunity to rec...

Poorly Constructed Operable Wall Panels Pose Risk
School systems have long relied on operable walls to divide classrooms, gymnasiums and multi-purpose spaces. While the moveable panels are simple to use and provide needed flexibility to the schools, the low quality of some panels has led to a nightmarish scenario in which the operable walls have themselves become a danger to the students. Poorly constructed panels are putting students at risk as the panels experience structural failure. Inexpensive track systems and panel constructions require frequent maintenance and put a strain on maintenance budgets. Deferring needed repairs leaves the school with the unenviable choice between rescheduling and/or curtailing activities or continuing to use the walls but possibly endangering the students by doing so.

Code-Approved Product Saves Costs and Avoids "Red-Tags"
Adhesive anchors are known for their strength, versatility and performance. They are used in residential and commercial construction for a variety of applications, such as rebar dowelling, securing seismic hold-downs and mudsills in concrete, anchoring steel columns, mounting ledgers and anchoring machinery. Contractors often prefer adhesive or epoxy anchors over cast-in-place anchors for their ease of installation and flexibility; engineers specify them for their strength and performance.

Commercial Topping Not Only Protects Floor, but Dampens Sounds On California Fire Station Project
The desire to construct more energy-efficient buildings with tighter exterior envelopes has led to problems of a different sort: an increase potential for mold, mildew and rot. Although, a tighter assembly does create more thermal efficiency, it can also trap water, which frequently leads to the deterioration of the building materials.
"A potential mold problem will always exist when material configurations allow more water to penetrate exterior walls than can dissipate or evaporate (more going in than coming out), resulting in an environment conducive to mold growth" says Dan Johnson, Technical Sales Manager at
Stuc-O-Flex International, Redmond, Washington. Revue

Electronic Plan Rooms Becoming More Widely Accepted
By Pam Hunter
Electronic plan rooms are becoming increasingly prevalent, and digital documents and drawings are becoming more widely used and accepted in the architectural/engineering and construction (A/E/C) industries.
Electronic plan rooms are becoming increasingly prevalent, and digital documents and drawings are becoming more widely used and accepted in the architectural/engineering and construction (A/E/C) industries.
Cliff Brewis, senior director, editorial, McGraw-Hill construction, which runs a network of plan rooms nationwide, says, "Brick and mortar plan rooms are increasingly becoming document handling centers. We are still making available to the marketplace hard copy documents, and we still allow for a kind of library of plans and specifications, but essentially what's happening is we are also digitizing those documents at those locations…as quickly as possible."

Construction Cost Trends for 2007
Housing starts continue to decline significantly since last year. The effect of this housing downturn on construction spending overall is muted by significant increases in the non-residential sectors. Led by hotels, the commercial sector posted gains of over 15% in 2006 and continues to keep construction spending on an even keel for 2007. State and federal construction spending continues at a brisk pace and will help to compensate for the housing shortfall.

Three Retailer-owned Wholesalers to Outsource EDI
Three retailer-owned wholesalers plan to outsource their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions to improve business practices and focus their internal IT resources on other areas to deliver added to their retailer-owners.
Three retailer-owned wholesalers plan to outsource their Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) solutions to improve business practices and focus their internal IT resources on other areas to deliver added to their retailer-owners. Associated Grocers Inc. of Baton Rouge, La.; Associated Grocers of the South, Inc., based in Birmingham, Ala.; and Associated Grocers of New England, headquartered in Pembroke, N.H., are working with Dayton, Ohio-based Edict Systems as their outsourced provider.
The three wholesalers chose to move all of their EDI-related processes to Edict's software as a service (SaaS) offerings. These processes include:
--Data Translation: Edict's Hosted Data Translation (HDT) services were developed to enable each AG group to eliminate the need to procure and manage software-based data translation and integration
--Trading Partner Connectivity: The EnterpriseEC solution provides a single point of connectivity to the wholesalers' trading partners via AS2, Secure FTP, or traditional value added networks
--Supplier On-boarding: Hub & Spoke ramping services -- which include testing and certification services for EDI-capable suppliers -- combined with GroceryEC.com, are designed to deliver optimal supplier participation
These combined services and solutions are expected to improve business practices by reducing paper-based transactions and the number of errors associated with manual document processing.
"The service that Edict performs has enabled us to leave EDI to Edict and to focus our resources in other areas for added value," said David Politz, senior director of business technology for Associated Grocers, Inc. which serves over 220 independent retailers in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and Alabama.. "As a result of our partnership, we have increased our business automation threefold and leveraged EDI in ways that were not possible previously."
Ron Burke, VP of IT for Associated Grocers of the South, Inc., said it was critical for his business to automate all transactions for all trading partners. "Edict made that process simple, and in a matter of months, we had 100 percent supplier participation," he said. AG South serves over 250 independent retailers in Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee and the Florida panhandle.
"With Edict Systems' excellent service, AG New England has experienced reduced costs and significantly expanded the number of trading partners we communicate with electronically," said Ken Peperissa, director of IT for the wholesaler. "This has had a positive impact on how we do business and on our bottom line." Founded in 1946, AG New England serves almost 500 independent retailers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine and upstate New York.
Advant-e, via its wholly owned subsidiaries Edict Systems and Merkur Group, Inc. is a provider of Internet-based hosted EDI and electronic document management software and services.

Commas: Now you see them; now you don't
August 8, 2014
By Kathy Fox
Writing With Precision
Do you like magic? Commas are the magicians of our language. They can transform the meaning of a sentence.
My co-workers and I collect jokes about grammar. We have one that says, "Let's eat Grandma" at the top, above a drawing of an old woman eating pie. Below, it says, "Let's eat, Grandma" followed by "Punctuation saves lives." It's quirky and morbid but is a great illustration of the importance of commas. They prevent cannibalism.
Everyone knows what a period is for. But add a tiny curlicue, and suddenly it becomes the huge, intimidating monster known as the comma, and panic engulfs the writer.
There are two types of "commaphobes." When confronted by a naked sentence, some people insert too many commas (framing words they want to emphasize) but others don't use enough (when in doubt, pretend commas don't exist).
It helps to think of the comma as a cue to pause briefly as you read, in the very places you would pause if you were speaking. When you read a sentence in the proper cadence, it's easier to understand. I can't cover every comma rule in one column, but here are the basics:
Commas separate elements of dates or places: "I used to live in Louisville, KY." They set off dates or places used in sentences: "March 3, 2013, is their anniversary."
A comma usually should follow an introductory word or phrase: "By the way, a semicolon is not a more formal version of the comma."
Commas are used after conditional clauses: "If you aren't sure which punctuation to use, then write to me." When the conditional clause is placed at the end of the sentence, no comma is needed: "Write to me if you have questions."
They set off conjunctive adverbs used in the middle of a sentence: "The semicolon is, however, one of my favorite punctuation marks." When conjunctive adverbs are used to join two clauses, place a semicolon before and a comma after: "Use of the semicolon is tricky; however, that is a topic for another day."
Commas separate two independent clauses (two short sentences) joined by a conjunction: "My daughter moved out of the house, but she only lives two blocks away." The comma is omitted when the subject of the second clause is the same as the first and is understood rather than stated: "Take your stuff and store it in your own garage."
Commas separate items in a list: "My niece, Julie, owns six dogs: Ollie, Sophie, Tucker, Buddy, Chloe and Letti." Whether to use a comma between the second-to-last item and the "and" is a matter of style. In professional writing it's usually omitted, so if you're confused because your elementary school teacher whacked your knuckles with a ruler when you didn't use a comma before the "and," I'm sorry, but you endured that in vain.
However, always use a comma before "and" when not using one would cause confusion: "Her dogs are spotted, brindle, brown, gray, tan and black and white." Without that final comma, there might be a tan dog and a black and white dog, or there might be a tan and black dog and a white dog.
Commas separate adjectives that modify the same noun: "he's a small, brown dog." A comma is not used when one adjective modifies another: "he's a light brown dog." Sometimes you have a bit of each: "he's a small, light brown dog."
Finally, commas set off nonessential elements, asides and additional information. These subordinate elements of the sentence can be a word, phrase or clause. Nonessential means it's not necessary to the sentence as a whole—it could be left out without changing the meaning of the rest of the sentence. For example, "My favorite color, yellow, is popular this year." My main point is that my favorite color is popular. The specific color doesn't change that; it just adds more information. Removing the commas would not magically transform the color into essential information, either. It would still be a detail, in an incorrectly punctuated sentence. Even comma magic has its limits. © Columbia Daily Tribune 2014
