Introduction to the Channel D Pure Music High Resolution Music Server Software
Computer audio is quickly becoming the source of choice for high-resolution audio playback. A vast number of products focused on computer audio are available today, but most of the attention is paid to hardware: DACs and computer audio interfaces like the Bryston BDA-1 and Halide Design USB to SPDIF Bridge I reviewed last year. In all our reviews, we forget one key component of the playback chain: the software player. I have complained extensively about the difficulty of getting no-compromise audio playback from a computer. Most of this complaint is due to mass-market software tools that don't have the audio enthusiast in mind. Channel D's Pure Music software is one of the few available players that have been specifically written with the audiophile in mind. Pure Music solves many of the problems inherent in computer audio playback software, and does it at a reasonable price particularly when compared to the competition. Is it worth it to spend $129 on a piece of software that "does the same thing" as iTunes? The answer is yes. As long as you have a Mac.

Channel D Pure Music High Resolution Music Server Software Design and Setup
Apple's iTunes software is the de-facto leader in the computer audio player world, and for good reason. Its interface is, in my opinion, clearly the best from a usability point of view. The fact that most other players try to imitate the iTunes interface is evidence for this conclusion. iTunes has many issues, though, when it comes to audio playback. It is most definitely not an audiophile product. It cannot play FLAC files and can perform bit depth and sample rate conversion without the user's knowledge. In addition, its audio playback engine is a black box. In theory, iTunes on a Mac is bit perfect as long as all the audio processing options are turned off and the volume control is set to 100% (meaning the PCM output is bit for bit identical to what's in the audio file), but its up to you to be sure every option is configured correctly.
Channel D has written Pure Music to retain the interface of iTunes, with all of its usability advantages, while replacing the playback engine with custom, high performance code written specifically for the best possible audio quality. Pure music is a software tool that simultaneously launches with iTunes, and "docks" to the iTunes window. The iTunes window is used to browse music and manage the library. When the user presses the "play" button, Pure Music takes over the job to play the file. The Pure Music window docks around the top and left of the iTunes window. It provides level meters, file info, level control and other control tools. Unlike the Apple ideal of providing a minimal number of configuration options, Pure Music allows the user to configure virtually every detail of the playback software. This is great for geeks like me, but could result in a steep learning curve for those who are less computer-inclined. Mercifully, the standard options work pretty well.
Pure Music does have one serious disadvantage that should be made clear up-front: It is for Mac OSX only. There is no Windows version of Pure Music, nor will there be any time soon. The audio engines under the hood of OSX and Windows are so different that there's no way to "port" the software. It would have to be re-written completely from scratch. Rob Robinson of ChannelD recommends that any mac-less audiophile that wants to use Pure Music just get one of Apple's $599 Mac Minis. It has plenty of computing power, memory and hard drive space to use as a dedicated music server, all for a cost that's a lot less than many of us have paid for other audio components. Hook this up to your home theater display via HDMI, attach a USB to SPDIF bridge of some sort and get a wireless mouse and keyboard, and you'll be all set. I used Pure Music on my 2006 vintage Macbook Pro 15″ running OSX 10.6.8. The machine has an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16 GHz processor and 3 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 RAM. My iTunes library of ~6000 songs was stored on a 750 GB Western Digital USB2 external hard drive, and consists mostly of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz Apple Lossless files I ripped myself from my own CDs using Max 0.9.1 ripping software. I also have some 24-bit, 96 kHz files also ripped from PCM DVD discs and DVD-A discs, also stored in Apple Lossless format. I began the review with Pure Music 1.74a, and upgraded to 1.8 during the review. Version 1.8 added the ability to play FLAC and DSD files while still using iTunes for file organization. DSD files are converted to PCM for playback in real time. The new software also allows other computer audio sources (say, internet radio) to play through Pure Music to take advantage of the software's volume control and re-sampling tools. Interface to my Bryston BDA-1 DAC was via the Halide Design USB to SPDIF bridge, both of which I reviewed last year. I liked them so much I bought them.
The real magic of Pure Music is not the interface, but the highly configurable playback engine under the hood. It offers pretty much all the features and performance an audiophile could want in computer playback software. It can play every file iTunes can play natively, plus FLAC and DSD files. It has gapless playback, and will support any output device that is supported by OSX. It has several features that are of great use to audio enthusiasts. First and most obviously useful to me is automatic sample rate switching. With normal iTunes, the output bit depth and sample rate will be set to whatever is chosen in the operating system Audio Settings, regardless of what properties the file has. This means users had to manually use the "Audio MIDI Setup" utility to switch the sample rate to match the file before playing, or iTunes will perform sample rate conversion to match the specified output configuration. Pure Music does this automatically, configuring the output sample rate and bit depth to match the file being played. Pure Music does all of its internal math with 64-bit precision, rather than the usual 24-bit or 32-bit used in hardware. The software has digital, dithered volume control, a digital crossover function and real time upsampling and bit depth conversion to sample rates as high as 384 kHz (including downsampling high sample rate formats to lower sample rates). Given the 64-bit precision and the ability to implement complex algorithms in software, all of these features should theoretically work better than in hardware. Of course, all of these features are completely configurable, and can be turned off.
I set the software up using two features that should result in the best possible audio quality: memory play and Hog mode. In memory play, an audio file is loaded into RAM in advance, and played out of memory rather than off the hard drive. This will eliminate any errors or issues caused by the data flow from the hard drive being interrupted. You can choose normal memory play, where the ENTIRE file is loaded before playback begins, or Hybrid Memory Play, where the file is buffered into memory and playback begins as the file continues to load into memory. I used the latter to speed things up. With hybrid memory play engaged there is a short delay between selecting a file to play and playback beginning. In addition, the iTunes scrubbing control does not work as expected. If you want to be able to use the scrubbing control, you have to turn off memory play. Memory play does require a considerable amount of memory, but that's cheap these days. I upgraded my system from 1.5 GB of RAM to 3 GB of RAM for about $50. Hog mode allows you to select a different audio device than is currently being used by the OS, and "lock" that device to Pure Music alone. This prevents system sounds or audio from other programs from being mixed into the music output by the OS. I set my system to use the Halide bridge as the Pure Music output, and left the OS set to the built-in speakers (turned off, of course).
My Bryston BDA-1 upsamples to 192 kHz. I chose to turn the upsampling in Pure Music off. My choices were to upsample in software to 96 kHz (the maximum bit rate of my Halide bridge), and turn the upsampling of the BDA-1 off, upsample in two steps, in software to 96 kHz and in the BDA-1 to 192 kHz, or upsample to 192 kHz just in the BDA-1. I thought the latter would be the best option. If I had a 192 kHz interface, I would have used the 64-bit upsampling in Pure Music. I did not test the crossover functions or any Audio Unit plugins, and only briefly tested FLAC playback. All my files are Apple Lossless already, so I had to go find some FLAC files to test. I had no DSD files, so I didn't test that functionality either.
Pure Music is available for download from ChannelD's website. A 15-day fully featured trial license is available to try the software out. Since it uses your normal iTunes library, it is very easy to install or remove the software without making any changes to your library. It already is compatible with Apple's latest OSX release 10.7 (Lion).
Channel D Pure Music High Resolution Music Server Software In Use
First, let me say that even if Pure Music sounded identical to iTunes, the software would be a no-brainer $129 purchase for the features like automatic sample rate control, software sample rate conversion, high quality digital volume control, memory play, hog mode etc. It adds a huge number of features to iTunes useful for audio enthusiasts, while retaining the superior iTunes music library interface. That the software genuinely improves sound quality is a huge bonus. I was not really expecting an improvement in sound quality. The Halide Bridge's asynchronous USB output and the re-clocking of the BDA-1 should pretty much eliminate any issues with jitter from the computer source. The player software in theory just converts the audio file into something playable (a PCM stream) and hoses it out. Of course exactly how this is done matters. Playing files with Pure Music resulted in clearly better sound for every file I played. As you might expect, the difference wasn't gigantic, but it was certainly there. The primary improvement was in clarity and resolution. With normal iTunes, I had to struggle to hear detail as compared to Pure Music, like there was some sort of inaudible background noise present that was covering up small details. With Pure Music as the player, those details popped out, just like you'd get from a better DAC or a quieter preamp. Another improvement was a reduction in "digital glare", for lack of a better phrase. When listening to lower quality digital sources, I eventually get a bit of a headache, or a feeling of pressure on my ears that isn't there with better sources. I regularly get this when listening to music on my portable system (iPod Classic, Headroom Total Bithead, Etymotic ER-4S). If I listen to a high bit rate MP3 or AAC, the pressure is there and is annoying after listening for a while. The same iPod also has Apple lossless files on it. With them, the pressure present with the compressed music is relieved. Switching between iTunes and Pure Music on my home stereo had a similar effect, although not as pronounced as going from a compressed to uncompressed media. With Pure Music, I didn't notice any big difference when turning features on and off. Memory play didn't actively sound better than normal, but I left it on anyway. It certainly didn't sound worse. Hog Mode also didn't seem to improve the sound across the board, but did prevent annoying system sounds (like your "you have mail" bong from playing while you listen). The only thing the OSX mixer will do is make the sound quality worse, so bypassing it is a good idea no matter what. I did not check the upsampling carefully because of my system configuration, and I did not use the dithered volume control. Both these features could be particularly useful if you have a high bit depth and sample rate connection to your DAC, or if you want to try configuring your system with no preamp (DAC connected directly to your power amp). FLAC playback worked fine for me. I couldn't tell the difference between the FLAC and Apple Lossless versions of the same music.
Conclusion about the Channel D Pure Music High Resolution Music Server Software
At $129, Pure Music is a no-brainer purchase for anyone who uses a Mac as her or his computer music server. It offers every feature you could possibly want and gives you complete control over how all those features operate (including the ability to turn them off). On top of that, Pure Music subtly but undeniably improves sound quality, with increased clarity and reduction of digital glare. The only disadvantage of the software I can see is that it is not available to those who use Windows as their music server OS. In fact, I don't know of any comparable products for Windows. If you don't have a Mac already, a brand new Mac Mini will run you an additional $600. This is a more substantial purchase, but still a lot less than many audio components in our systems. If you are a Mac user, you should already be downloading the free 15-day trial of Pure Music. I will be very surprised if you don't decide to keep it.

References to Lux can get a bit confusing. Lux is a measure of light intensity, in that one lux is equal to one lumen per square meter. So a very wide beam like the luxos U produces a lot more light. The beam shots from Peter White Cycles show it pretty clearly, using the same camera settings & pretty much the same location
Luxos U - same light intesity but a much, much wider beam.


text: Cross border restructurings - INSOL International Channel Islands Seminar Share this 11 OCT 2017 By: David Ampaw Sheena Frazer The INSOL International Channel Islands Seminar took place on 13 September 2017 in Guernsey, where tensions rose high as jurisdictions battled it out for the crown of the "go-to" jurisdiction for cross border restructurings. David Ampaw, a Partner in DLA Piper's London Restructuring team, spoke in defence of the English scheme of arrangement and in this note we highlight the key challenges to the English scheme of arrangement by reference to the introduction of new scheme rules in Singapore and the Netherlands in particular and consider whether such jurisdictions are likely to attract more business in the scheme arena following Brexit. Singapore In May of this year, the Singapore Companies (Amendments) Act 2017 came into force enhancing Singapore's scheme of arrangement process. The new provisions have significantly strengthened the procedures surrounding schemes of arrangement as a debt restructuring tool, which could make Singapore a more attractive jurisdiction for foreign companies seeking to restructure their debts. Although the new provisions provide for significant court involvement, the Singaporean courts have been granted a wide discretion to assist companies wishing to implement a scheme of arrangement in that jurisdiction. The provisions enable a foreign company which has "a substantial connection with Singapore" to access a scheme of arrangement in Singapore. When assessing whether there is a "substantial connection" the court will take into account a number of factors including; whether Singapore is the company's centre of main interests; whether the company has substantial assets in Singapore; and whether the company has chosen Singaporean law as the governing law of its transactional contracts. This appears to be similar to the sufficient connection test in the UK. The new provisions provide extensive moratorium tools to bolster existing provisions so that a company now has the ability to obtain a 30 day automatic moratorium upon filing an application for a moratorium order. This can act as an interim moratorium following which an application for a lengthier moratorium can be heard. Where a moratorium has been granted in relation to a company, members of the debtor group such as subsidiaries and parent companies (including those with no nexus to Singapore) can also apply for a moratorium if they are "playing a necessary and integral role" in the scheme being proposed. Further, the Singaporean courts may also extend moratoriums to creditor actions outside of Singapore, provided that the creditor is based in Singapore or subject to the jurisdiction of the Singaporean court. Debtor-in-possession (DIP) provisions have also been carried over from the US Chapter 11 process such that the court is able to grant super priority to rescue financiers to the extent such funding is necessary for the business to continue trading or to assist in a successful scheme process. The Singaporean court has also been given the power to cram down dissenting classes of creditors provided the scheme has been approved by the requisite majority of creditors in value and number, and the court is satisfied that a scheme does not discriminate unfairly between two classes of creditors and is fair and equitable. In practice this creates voting thresholds of: (i) majority in number and at least 75% in value with respect to at least one class of participating creditors; and (ii) majority in number and at least 75% in value with respect to participating creditors as a whole. Further, the new legislation introduces a 'pre-pack' type mechanism allowing the court to approve a scheme without a formal creditor meeting where certain requirements are satisfied. Netherlands On 5 September 2017, the Dutch legislator presented an amended bill on pre-insolvency proceedings in the Netherlands for consultation purposes. The Bill proposes amendments to the Dutch Bankruptcy Act to enable companies in financial distress to propose a composition akin to a scheme of arrangement. The proposed amendments appear to have considered closely both, English schemes of arrangement and US Chapter 11 in presenting for a largely debtor driven process which involves minimum input from the courts. The idea is that this will become a very attractive proposition to companies wishing to force through a composition quickly without third party involvement. It seems likely at this juncture that the new Dutch schemes of arrangements will fall within the scope of Annex A of Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast) (Recast Insolvency Regulation) which applies to proceedings commencing on or after 26 June 2017. As such foreign companies will have to demonstrate that their centre of main interest is in the Netherlands in order to access Dutch schemes of arrangements. Under the proposed bill, both the debtor and, under certain circumstances, a creditor can propose or initiate a restructuring plan. Like the English scheme, the restructuring plan can be implemented outside formal insolvency proceedings. The restructuring plan can bind all types of creditors and shareholders. It need not include all, but can be directed to only a subset of them. The plan can include third party releases. Unlike the English scheme, neither a convening hearing nor any creditors meetings are required. The vote can take place electronically. A class has accepted the plan if a 2/3 majority in amount has voted in favour (no head count). Following the vote, the court has to confirm the plan for it to become binding on dissenting parties. The procedure features a Chapter 11-style cram down mechanism, giving the court the power to confirm the plan over the objections of dissenting classes. The procedure will contain a moratorium, the ability to set aside ipso facto clauses, the power to terminate onerous contracts and the right for the debtor to request the court to give binding early determinations on matters of dispute such as jurisdiction, class formation or valuation. Should the UK be worried? With jurisdictions like the Netherlands and Singapore adopting provisions similar to those contained in Part 26 of the English Companies Act 2006, foreign companies may begin to consider restructuring tools similar to English schemes of arrangement in other jurisdictions a more attractive proposition. When speaking at the INSOL conference we drew on three recurring themes which immediately manifest themselves on a comparison between the Singapore and Netherlands schemes and the English scheme (and this is a non-exhaustive list - we specifically will not address debtor in possession type financing which appears to be a possibility under the Netherlands and Singapore procedures and warrants a chapter in itself) in turn: Moratorium Each of the Netherlands and the Singapore schemes provide for some form of moratorium on enforcement where a scheme is proposed in their jurisdiction which should provide some breathing space for the debtor to negotiate and conclude terms with stakeholders and promote the scheme without fear of the premise of the debtors proposal collapsing through asset grabs by disgruntled creditors. English schemes have operated reasonably well without a moratorium to date. Bankruptcy theory tells us that a moratorium is essential to prevent creditors from taking individual enforcement action to take assets before the restructuring can be implemented but many authors have drawn the distinction between situations where there is a potential restructuring which stakeholders believe in as opposed to an insolvency situation which is terminal and will lead to a liquidation. Mechanisms such as lock-ups and standstills will often support situations where there is some prospect of a negotiated solution. As regards financial creditors, finance documentation creates a barrier to enforcement without significant consensus so, for example, under Loan Market Association Documentation there will need to be an instruction from "Majority" creditors, similarly in bond documentation there will usually be a "no action" type clause preventing enforcement by an individual creditor and enforcement will require a significant proportion of bondholders to instruct a trustee to accelerate. In such circumstances financial creditors are not necessarily locked in due to the presence of a buoyant secondary market for distressed debt certainly in Europe and the US in particular. Cases such as Bluecrest Mercantile NV v Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group [2013] EWHC 1146 (Comm) whereby the court confirmed that, although a scheme carries no automatic stay, a company proposing a scheme may apply for a stay on action by creditors on a case by case basis, provided, among other things, that the scheme is reasonably likely to succeed illustrate the ability of English courts to utilise wide-ranging case management powers to help promote the purpose of the scheme. That said undoubtedly some form of tailored moratoria may be useful in more hostile situations depending on the demands of those circumstances. Cross Class Cram Down While other jurisdictions (e.g. US Chapter 11) allow restructurings to go ahead without the consent of entire classes, there is no single mechanism which allows this to occur under English law. Both the Netherlands and Singapore procedures envisage some ability to impose a cross class cram down. The English scheme of arrangement can only be imposed on dissenting creditors within a class; there is no possibility of a cram down across classes unless the scheme is used in combination with pre-packaged administration to transfer the business and assets to a new entity (NewCo) and each affected, and therefore included, class of creditors is granted rights (whether as debt, equity or some combination of the two) in NewCo. Unaffected creditors' claims are left whole but those unaffected claims remain against the now valueless corporate shell. Unaffected creditors are those whose rights the scheme does not affect, or a valuation of the company's assets establishes that a particular class of creditors has no economic interest in those assets, as they could not expect any return if the assets (presumably the company's business) were sold. In the latter case, in an economic sense, those creditors have been "crammed down", by, in effect, being left behind. Whilst there is an ability for creditors to dispute the valuation methodology at the sanction hearing the use of this mechanism leads to disputes over valuation with the result that financial creditors are consistently unable to ascertain absolutely whether they are "in the money" or "out of the money". Some form of cross class cram down, incorporating some guidance around valuation methodology when imposing a plan on dissenting creditors, might assist in removing this uncertainty in the English scheme context. Recognition Recognition appears to be the largest concern but of course we do not yet know what the UK's post-Brexit deal will look like but there are a number of means by which recognition of English schemes going forward might be effected. Generally, an English court will accept jurisdiction over schemes of foreign companies if (i) the scheme is likely to be effective and achieve its purpose and (ii) the foreign company has a "sufficient connection" with the English jurisdiction. It is the first limb where significant concerns may arise in a post-Brexit world. In establishing whether the scheme is likely to be effective and achieve its purpose, the English court will consider whether the scheme would be recognised in any relevant foreign jurisdiction where the distressed company's assets are located. The English court will not want to sanction a scheme that could not be enforced locally. The court has often considered the European law as a basis for recognition. Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 (recast) (Recast Regulation) provides that "a judgment given in a Member State shall be recognised in the other Member States without any special procedure being required." The reference to judgments would capture court orders relating to schemes for foreign companies. Post-Brexit, the English courts will lose this basis of recognition as schemes of foreign companies would not be enforceable in Member States as the order sanctioning the scheme would no longer be approved by a court of another Member State. However, the European Regulation (EC) 593/2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations ("Rome 1 Regulation") has also been used as a basis for establishing recognition. Rome 1 Regulation provides that the governing law of a contract also governs "the various ways of extinguishing obligations, and prescription and limitation on actions" in relation to that contract. Accordingly, if the parties have agreed English law to govern a particular contract, then English law can take effect in dealing with extinguishing the debt under that contract. It follows that the English court would consider a scheme presented by a foreign company where the underlying debt instruments are governed by English law. Whilst Rome 1 Regulation would cease to apply in the UK post-Brexit, it would continue to have effect in the other Member States and does not rely on the actions of one Member State court being enforced in other Member State courts. Consequently, the English courts may look to continue their reliance on the Rome 1 Regulation as a basis of recognition in a post-Brexit climate. Depending on the terms of Brexit (and how it is negotiated) there is still room for a backlash at a lack of reciprocity which might manifest itself in Member States rejecting the Rome 1 Regulation principles particularly if there is no COMI shift to England and Wales in the relevant restructuring. There are other routes to recognition of course being principally: The UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross Border Insolvency (the Model Law) will provide a framework for recognition of cross border insolvency proceedings post-Brexit. However the Model Law's applicability is largely untested in the EU as, excepting the UK, it has been adopted in very few European jurisdictions. The Hague Convention on the Choice of Court Agreements 2005 (the Hague Convention) to which the EU has signed up and which therefore binds all Member States. The Hague Convention promotes the allocation of jurisdiction where an exclusive choice of court agreement has been entered into by parties to a transaction. Where exclusive choice of court agreements exist, the Hague Convention imposes obligations on 'designated courts' of those states which have signed and ratified the Hague Convention (Convention States). These obligations are: a Convention State's courts are obliged to hear any case brought before them which is covered by the choice of court agreement, if they are the 'designated court' a Convention State's courts are obliged to refuse to hear any case if they are not the 'designated court' a Convention State's courts are obliged to recognise and enforce the judgment of another Convention State's courts if the second court is the 'designated court' The Hague Convention offers an option for filling the gap left by the Rome I Regulation but it is not a perfect fit. Firstly, upon leaving the EU, the UK will need to accede separately to the Convention in order for it to apply. Secondly, the Hague Convention's application to exclusive choice of court agreements may limit its utility in the context of schemes where relevant debt documents usually contain so called "asymmetrical" jurisdiction clauses. The Lugano Convention 2007 (the Lugano Convention) provides for mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments between EU and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members. The UK is currently party to the Lugano Convention as part of the EU and would need to accede to EFTA post-Brexit to benefit from it. Should the UK become an EFTA member as part of its Brexit negotiations, it could use the benefit of the Lugano Convention to address the question of effectiveness of schemes outside England and Wales but in practice accession to EFTA and therefore the Lugano Convention is unlikely. With accession might come the UK having to accept the principle of free movement of individuals and certain EU regulations without its current influence over EU rules. Oft quoted as reasons for the Brexit "leave" vote are concerns over migration and disillusionment with the workings of the EU and accession to EFTA would arguably sit at odds with these reasons. Private international law is likely to become of more significance post-Brexit in terms of recognition of schemes of non-English companies but will rely on a fact dependent approach and analysis to determine effectiveness of the scheme. Conclusion It is no secret that the vast majority of loan origination documentation is governed by English law. The large body of precedent, stable, predictable outcomes and a large body of experienced restructuring professionals and judiciary in the UK is what gives the UK part of its competitive advantage as a place to restructure a business. Track record, as well as language and creditor base, is arguably what has led to the UK taking restructuring work away from other countries around the globe. Many of these factors might not change overnight but there is rightfully uncertainty around Brexit such that jurisdictions such as the Netherlands and Singapore (and others) may increasingly be seen as more credible places for locally based businesses to restructure.

Now, as the restaurant opens today after multiple delays, they say Frank and Manny's Harborside is the crown jewel of Winter Haven restaurants.
WINTER HAVEN | When Frank Papadopoulos and his brother, Manny Papadopoulos, demolished the old Harborside restaurant in February, they said they wanted to restore the landmark restaurant to its former glory.
Now, as the restaurant opens today after multiple delays, they say Frank and Manny's Harborside is the crown jewel of Winter Haven restaurants.
"You don't have to take your friends to Tampa or Orlando to impress them now," Frank Papadopoulos proudly proclaims when giving the grand tour. "Now you can stay in Winter Haven."
Frank Papadopoulos isn't the only one who is excited. With its 14-foot ceilings and 10-foot-high bay windows overlooking a screened-in patio with 18-foot screened openings onto Lake Shipp, the most common reaction from visitors and vendors walking through the front doors for the first time is a simple "wow."
Every counter, bar and windowsill is fashioned of granite. Every chair, table and leather-wrapped booth oozes modern style. A 1,000-gallon fish tank stands in the center of the dining area.
Frank Papadopoulos won't say how much it cost to build, but when he put the property up for sale in September to see if there was interest in the property, the asking price was $3.65 million.
Frank Papadopoulos said the store has hired about 30 people and will serve a mix of seafood, sandwiches and steak. Chicken Marsala costs $14.90; Frank and Manny's Burger, $8.90; a 24-ounce porterhouse steak is $24.90. The restaurant has two full liquor bars.
It took 11 months to rebuild the restaurant at 2435 Seventh St. S.W. The project was initially planned to be finished in the summer but was held up multiple times, most publicly by permitting setbacks and a quarrel between the contractor and the Lake Region Lakes Management District executive director.
The argument between Roger Griffiths and the Harborside group began when Griffiths made complaints to various government agencies about work being done without permits.
Contractor Stephen Vaughan began demolition of the Harborside building without a demolition permit or an asbestos study, according to officials, but eventually got the required permits.
The issues just increased the allure for Lake Wales residents Mike Stewart, 77, and his wife, Betsy, 74, who drove from Lake Wales on Wednesday to see if the restaurant had opened yet.
Frank Papadopoulos also owns the Lake Wales Family Restaurant.
"We go to his restaurant in Lake Wales and heard about all the problems (at Harborside)," Mike Stewart said. Now, they're excited to support the restaurant in spite of its detractors, even if it means driving from Lake Wales.
"You don't live unless you have good food."
The restaurant opens at 4 p.m. today and will open at 4 p.m. daily. Frank Papadopoulos said they might consider opening for lunch in the future.

Hi all, this is my first post here. I'm mum to a 3 wk old son, first baby, and finding things incredibly tough physically and emotionally.*
The birth was induced and ended in an emergency c-section (baby was OP and had his head deflexed) We got through the first few days of BF even though I had limited options for positioning him due to my condition. *
We came home after 3 days. Our problems started here although in reality they had begun in the hospital. We hadn't received any breastfeeding support while there other than for the first latch in the recovery suite. At his 5 day checkup he had lost 9.8% of his birthweight and was still slightly jaundiced, so the hospital readmitted us for 2 days.*
While there I had to give in to medical advice and start supplementing with formula. Emotionally I was very fragile and couldn't sleep or stop crying. I felt like I'd failed to meet my son's most basic need. I did what I could to BF and express and to try to be positive. He started to gain weight and we were discharged.*
These are the challenges we've faced:
- He is a sleepy feeder. This has continued past the jaundice stage.*
- The latch isn't great and it's painful 95% of the time. The pain is knife-like and was occurring either from his upper or lower jaw. During several postnatal checkups I've mentioned this and been given scraps of advice ("use lanolin" - I do; and then some suggestions for different positions, but very little hands-on help and nobody mentioned LCs). I discovered nipple shields but was advised to not use them for too long. I wasn't told why. He fed much better with them, I healed and had less pain, but I found them fiddly to use and having read lots about latch problems I began to wonder if they were masking a deeper issue. I gave into the pain last week and resorted to supplementing one night feed with formula to give my nipples a rest.*
Then last week on the recommendation of a midwife I stopped using the shield, and things have taken a downward turn. I can't nurse through the pain, not even for one feed. My son gets frustrated when I relatch him, and some feeds have taken 2+ hours due to relatching and sleeping at the breast. I dread feed time approaching and spend hours crying each day.*
- Low output when expressing. The most I have ever expressed in a session was about 70ml/2.5oz. This was using a hospital grade pump and I was still trying to BF a little. Now I'm lucky to get 1oz/30ml after 30 mins of double pumping and I am no longer BF with any regularity give or take a few minutes each day. So I know I must have affected my production. I have rented a hospital grade pump today and need to get on a schedule!*
With BF so painful and my expressed levels so low, it pains me to say we are now back on a majority formula diet for about 3 days now. My guilt rages strong, but I've had to find some positives:
- it has removed some stress for me and DS at feeding times.
- I am managing to get about 3oz a day of EBM into him (some must be better than none, right?)
Latest chapter - so far: after DS literally skinned one half of my areola, I contacted an IBCLC and she diagnosed a TT. This condition had never been mentioned to me before. *He had the procedure on Saturday and we managed 3 feelings, laid back, skin to skin, self-latched. I was elated, but since then we've had pain at pretty much every latch as he readjusts his suck frequently e.g. during a BM, or fights at the nipple with his hands, or tilts his head down or to the side after latching, causing me lots of pain. *Or he nods off. The LC came out again yesterday and observed us in various BF positions. She noted that he is still quite "foetal" in his posture, in particular in his neck, as he won't tilt his head back to latch. He also frequently feeds with his shoulders hunched up to his ears. * She thinks this tension might be affecting his ability to latch as he can't open up wide enough. She's advised that I just express for now while I heal (again) and while I seek help from somebody trained in craniosacral therapy. And try baby massage.*
I'm relieved AND frustrated by the advice. Relieved because this might be another physical reason it's nowpt working, and I feel less guilty. Frustrated because expressing is a lot of work and I am seriously worried about my supply. Is it true that your supply can't be easily increased after the first month? If so, I have to really go for it this week. Any suggestions for kick starting it? Anybody have experience with craniosacral therapy ? I've read how a lot of you have worked through the nipple pain but I cannot see me doing the same

Some immortal names hang in the rafters of the Nets' new arena: Drazen Petrovic, Julius Erving, Buck Williams, 419 People Murdered In New York City In 2012. You know, the greats.
Today was Mayor Michael Bloomberg's state of the city address at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and to fit in with local color, the city put up a few banners touting the decreased crime rate and other encouraging statistics, all in Nets black and white. I am sure the family members of the record-low number of homicide victims are honored.

A couple months ago, I wrote about the music I've loved through 2011 so far. Now it's time for what I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year, and it's surprisingly a much longer list than I thought it would be. And with the artists that have found themselves on this list, I can rest knowing that 2011 should hopefully end up with some great albums to boast.
Soley – We Sink – Sept 2
This beautiful Icelandic singer releases her first full-length, We Sink, after last year's lovely daydream EP, Theatre Island. (It was a RoundLetters favourite of 2010.) You may know her as a member of Seabear, the cute beyond words pop band, but she's really starting to come into her own solo, all soft and imaginative. Hear "I'll Drown."
CANT – Dreams Come True – Sept 13
Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor goes solo via his own Terrible Records and Warp. Take a listen to "Answer," which is a gloomy, underwater groove kingdom.
St. Vincent – Strange Mercy – Sept 13
Annie Clark will release her long awaited for third album, and if the rest of it is like the new single "Cruel," it's bound to be a beautiful expedition into tenderness, texture and many layers. Watch the video for "Cruel," in which the gorgeous songstress gets kidnapped and buried alive.
Wild Flag – Wild Flag – Sept 13
This lady super group of members from Sleater-Kinney, Helium and Minders release their exciting debut on Merge, and it's bound to put a spark under grrrl power for the rest of 2011. Check out the track "Romance," with a quirky keys riff and head boppin' beat. In fact, why don't you just go stream the entire album right now?
Jens Lekman – An Argument with Myself – Sept 20
Like a true artist, Lekman may be arguing with himself, but he's emerged four years after his last full release with an even sunnier and snarkier exterior. It's time to hit the beach in every last moment you can; cha cha to the same titled song.
Elliott Brood – Days into Years – Sept 27
Finally, this ever-Canadian trio is back with a new album, one that, from the two songs I've heard, sounds more light-hearted but aged. Casey Laforet seems to have taken more control of the singing, which is a different kind of texture than what Mark Sasso boasts. Check out the latest of the two country-folk tracks, "If I Get Old."
Ohbijou – Metal Meets – Sept 27
These Toronto darlings are back too, since 2009's Beacons. Metal Meets is their third album, and no doubt it will have the essence to bring us locals smoothly into the fall via their soft tones and Casey Mecija's lovely vocals. You can hear the new single, "Niagara," on their website.
Feist – Metals – Oct 4
Metals marks Feist's foray back into the music world since the music world got to know her by "1 2 3 4." That's a pretty high standard to live up to, but the name and talent hasn't been shattered once, so she'll bring this next album up strongly. You can hear teasers for the album on her website, listentofeist.com.
Loney, Dear – Hall Music – Oct 4
This sweet Swede Emil Svanängen will release Hall Music, the first since 2009's Dear John. His beautiful, quiet orchestral tunes can be heard if you download the single "My Heart."
Casiokids – Aabenbaringen over aaskammen – Oct 11
These Norway popsters on Polyvinyl have a new party to bring to us this fall, but let's get excited now. This release, translated to "The Revelation Over the Mountain," is bound to be heaps of fun. On stage, they're known for puppets, light shows and general crazy fun, and on record it's a light bounce to get you through the day. This album features pals of theirs Of Montreal, too. You can listen to the first sleepy hopper single, "Det haster!"
Marketa Irglova – Anar – Oct 11
This half of The Swell Season is going solo, and it's interesting for the facts that she's the quiet, timid one of the Once-couple and seemed to like the shadows. Her talent is undeniable though, and that was best seen in concert. She's gotten more and more into writing her own material, and now we have Anar to look to as a new view of the shy musician. Hear her break out of the shell on the soulful "Go Back."
High Places – Original Colors – Oct 11
Rob Barber and Mary Pearson took their band from Brooklyn to LA, giving it a sunnier, shinier texture. Original Colors is their third full-length, after last year's sleeper hit High Places vs. Mankind. The first artsy electro offering from the album is "Year Off."
Kathryn Calder – Bright and Vivid – Oct 25
This precious BC-based songstress of The New Pornographers and now defunct Immaculate Machine is back with her sophomore solo album, and it's much more of a foray into electronics than her previous work. It's layered, adventurous and light, as evidenced by the first single, "Who Are You?"
Also looking forward to Dan Mangan's Oh Fortune, as well as local releases from Army Girls, Heartbeat Hotel and the Darcys. TBC.

Editors' note: Thanks to the release of recent, high-quality tablets, the overall score of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 has been adjusted down from 7.3 to 7.2.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from Verizon features an impressive AMOLED screen with an incredible contrast ratio. The tablet was released the same week as the new iPad with its Retina Display, however, so that's probably why you haven't heard much about it. The AMOLED screen is beautiful, though, but is it a gimmick or does it enrich what could (under different circumstances) be a typical tablet experience?
When the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus was released last year, I opined that building a really thin 10.1-inch tablet was probably a less arduous task than matching that same thinness on a 7-incher. The Galaxy Tab 7.7, with its 0.7-inch larger screen, reinforces that opinion with a thinner and lighter design than Samsung's previous 7-inch effort. Not that I went out on a limb at all by speculating that in the first place. The more surface area you have to work with, the easier it is to spread components around, facilitating a thinner design.

|Toshiba Thrive 7-inch
|Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2

|Width in inches (landscape)
|Height in inches
|Depth in inches
|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
Aesthetically, the Tab 7.7 is like the cooler, slicker cousin of the Tab 7.0 Plus. You know, the one that gets invited to all the cool parties? The Tab 7.7's smooth aluminum back is simply much more visually striking than the Tab 7.0 Plus' plastic, dark-gray hind part, and the sleek metal gives the Tab 7.7 an additional bit of sexiness over its (likely jealous and hate-filled) big brother.
Beyond that, the two tablets house many of the same features, including a power button, volume rocker, and IR sensor on its top; a headphone jack and mic pinhole on the left side; dual speakers and a universal connection port on the right; and a microSD card slot on the bottom. The Tab 7.7 has a SIM card slot on the bottom as well.
The left side of the bezel houses a 2-megapixel camera, with an LED flash-supported 3-megapixel camera in the top-left corner on the back. As with Samsung's other tablets, there's no HDMI port, requiring you to purchase an adapter if you want to play video from your tablet on your TV.
Software features
The Tab 7.7 ships with Honeycomb 3.2, and Samsung has yet to officially announce a date for an Ice Cream Sandwich update. Not surprisingly, Samsung overlays its TouchWiz UI on top of Honeycomb. TouchWiz brings with it many custom Samsung apps like AllShare, Media Hub, Social Hub, and Samsung's own curated Android app store called Samsung Apps.
My favorite feature of TouchWiz, however, is the Mini Apps tray located on the bottom of the screen. Tapping it brings up a tray of apps consisting of a calculator, notes, calendar, music player, and clock. However, the most useful of these is the task manager, which allows you to quickly kill any app running in the background; this comes in handy when apps become otherwise unresponsive.
Peel's Smart Remote app
Last seen on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, the Peel app comes installed on the Tab 7.7, and launching it essentially turns the tablet into a smart remote control for your TV. Peel can also take the place of your cable or satellite channel guide and display a list of shows currently playing locally on your cable or satellite provider's channels. Go to the currently playing tab and click on a show, and your TV switches to the appropriate channel. At least, that's how it works in theory.
Peel does a great job of holding your hand initially through a step-by-step setup wizard. The setup only requires that you know your TV's manufacturer name, your cable/satellite provider, and your ZIP code. Thankfully, Peel spares us from having to know any more detailed information; however, be aware that Smart Remote does not work with regular monitors and only TVs or monitor/TV combos.
Once it's set up, you can browse shows by category, mark shows as favorites, or prevent shows you'd rather not see on the list from showing up again. Thankfully, Smart Remote now syncs with over-the-air listings, but its accuracy as to which shows and channels were available to me left a bit to be desired.
I learned with the Tab 7.0 Plus that Smart Remote's accuracy was very closely dictated by the information cable and satellite providers choose to release. So, while the Smart Remote guide may indicate that "Law and Order" is on right now on Channel 12, selecting it didn't always take me to the appropriate channel. In addition, sometimes the channel wasn't available to me or there was a different show on the channel at that time.
Navigating the interface took some getting used to, but was easy enough to pick up; however, I took issue with the method by which cable TV screen menus are controlled by the interface. Peel went with a swipe interface that requires you to flick the screen in one of four directions in order to highlight different menus. While this method works and after some time could be gotten used to, I would have much preferred more-direct directional controls.
While Peel's Smart Remote is still missing some features, it's well-implemented overall; however, I'm still waiting for Hulu and Netflix integration and I'm sure I could find some use for an actual search feature. Also, the "8-foot maximum distance from your TV to be functional" rule should be extended. This is probably more of a hardware issue, though.
Hardware features
The Tab 7.7 houses Samsung's 1.4GHz dual-core Exynos 4210 CPU, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It has 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi support, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and GPS.

I am so excited. Do you recall me telling you what a lousy cook my husband is? Well, thanks to today's first tipster, he will not have to deal with sizzling skillets and burned grilled cheese ever again while I'm away traveling.
TOASTER BAGS. I just wanted to let you know that in the bread aisle of some grocery stores, as well as online (everydaycheapskate.com
/toasterbag), you can buy toaster bags. You butter your bread, add the cheese and place in the bag and put it into the toaster (or toaster oven). The cheese is melted completely and the bread is crunchy. You can wash and re-use the bags. This is great for people who need help with cooking. — Jeannie, email
PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE RECYCLING. Many of us collect empty prescription bottles in large amounts. But even after using them in all of your creative suggestions, we still have more! Many cities have recycle programs that take plastic items, such as pill bottles, provided they are marked with a number anywhere from "1" up to "7." These numbers are usually found in a triangle on the bottom of the item, or on the underside of the lid. Be sure to remove ALL personal identification from medicine bottles before you recycle them. Most labels can be soaked loose in warm water and quickly scraped off with the back edge of a dinner knife. To recycle, they don't have to be glue-free, just label-free for your security. Call your City Recycle Center or City Office for information about recycling in you area. I enjoy your postings and read them daily. — Dr. Helen E. Hughes, R.N., N.M.
WORTH REPEATING. I am building my wardrobe in prep for a total-hip replacement next week. My daughter purchased a heavenly robe in my favorite shade of blue from her consignment shop. Sadly, it's just a bit snug. My granddaughter joked, "Well, now we've got a Snuggie!" She and my son-in-law put it on me backward and we were all surprised at the result. Perfect for sitting in bed or a chair, pockets perfectly placed and roomy enough to hold remotes, and so forth. And I will be able to get up and walk away without getting my feet tangled in the chair! How's that for a true family of cheapskates?! I thought it was "Worth Repeating" (which just happens to be the name of the consignment shop.) I'm so glad I found Everyday Cheapskate. You make me smile! — Carol R., email
POST IT TO BE CERTAIN. We have two kids, ages 4 and 2, and one is asthmatic. This means several nights over the winter are guaranteed to mean both parents getting up several times to administer medication. It's exhausting and it's really easy to overdose little ones by mistake. We always keep a pad of Post-Its in the bathroom and a pen. As we medicate the first child, we pull out a Post-It and write down which medication was given to which child at what time and in what dose. We then stick the Post-It to the mirror. The next parent up then knows if they can re-medicate or if they need to wait, without waking a sleeping spouse. — Jennie B., Cambridge, UK

Nashville, Tenn. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team will look to win its first road game since Jan. 5 on Thursday night when the squad travels to Austin Peay.
Last Thursday, TSU snapped its three-game losing streak with an 84-65 win over Tennessee Tech.
The game featured the return of senior forward Robert Covington who had been out since Dec. 18 with a knee injury.
Against Tennessee Tech, Covington had 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting and moved up to tenth place on TSU's all-time scoring list. He now has 1,583 career points and can move into ninth place with six points against the Governors. Five more points would move Covington into eighth.
Before his injury, Covington was leading the team with an average of 17.4 points and 7.7 boards per game. Now, the Tigers have three other players who score at least 10 points per contest and are the only team in the OVC to have four players average in double figures.
In fact, TSU had five players score in double-figures against the Golden Eagles in Patrick Miller (17), Covington (17), Kellen Thornton (17), M.J. Rhett (13) and Jordan Cyphers (10).
Thornton also recorded his seventh double-double of the season with a team-high 10 boards. He is now second in the conference in rebounds per game (9.4) during OVC games.
TSU ranks second in the conference with a +3.0 rebounding margin per game and Thornton and Rhett are inside the top seven on the OVC's rebounds per game list.
For Austin Peay, the Governors enter Thursday's contest with a 5-18 overall record and their 1-8 mark in conference play ranks them 12th out of 12 teams.
APSU has also lost its last six contests and 14 of its last 15.
The Governors have three players who average more than 10 points per game in Travis Betran (17.3), Anthony Campbell (14.3) and Will Triggs (12.1).
The trio all rank inside the top 20 in the conference scoring leaders, but APSU's real problem has been on the defensive end. The Govs rank last in the OVC in scoring defense (75.4 ppg) and turnover margin (-2.87).
However, the team is doing well as of late, having shot 38.5 percent from downtown during the last nine games and taking Murray State to overtime in the team's last contest.
TSU is 24-42 all-time versus Austin Peay, but the Tigers won the last meeting 77-57 at the Gentry Center. TSU hasn't defeated APSU in Clarksville since 2009.
Tip-off for Thursday's matchup is scheduled for 7 p.m. and fans can watch the game on the OVC Digital Network.

Okay, Okay... let's talk Citizens of Textile. I've been asked lots of good questions surrounding the concept, theory and business model. It's really not as salacious as I'm sure people might think. It happened like this...
"Michele, let's open a pop-up once a month with collaborative products in it." said me.
Honestly, having a child with autism doesn't allow for the traditional commitments of... well, just about everything actually! I've learned that lesson through a LOT of trial and error over the years. So, when COT was being created it was REALLY important to give ourselves plenty of time to create quality products for our clients. Plus, Michele has this "whole-sucssesful-yarn-company-thingy." Republic of Wool.
Now, if you know my crafting history then you were, no doubt, NOT shocked that COT came with contributors! I mean... I even wrote a book full of collaborative projects. Crafting with people... is just my thing. It always has been. I have always said, "That a person liking someone else's creations, doesn't lesson their liking of mine." There is room for all of us!
Now, Why in the world is it only open for the first weekend of every month???... because, it's simply less stressful that way. We can take our time creating, listing and then hand-wrapping those items for shipment without the panic of time pushing down on us to produce.
Listen... I want to wake up and make beautiful things and I "personally" feel that after all this time in the crafting/ sewing/ yarn industry that putting a deadline on your creativity is a sure way to kill it. Yes, I still have a deadline, but it's more roomy and giving incase kids get sick, or pets, or me! Hahaha
Let's chatty chat about my dyeing of all the yarn, shall we..? I'm sure that all my quilting community supporters are probably wondering if I jumped ship???... No, I haven't. I just bought my Bernina 750B for peats sake! LOL However, when I invest in a new trade, I usually jump in head first and don't come up for air. I tend to suffocate myself in it before my interest dies down. This is exactly how I learned to sew 7 years ago. It's just my nature.
Why I dye??... Because I'm lost to the Color's. It's why I started quilting too. Bringing colorful, interesting, beauty in the form of functional art... well, I'm just too weak not to play. And, it goes back to what I mentioned earlier... It's okay to not to like my yarn, or love my yarn, or myself liking everyone's yarn and buying their's. There's room for all of us. We are different artists, and we see the world in different filters AND... that's how it should be.
XX, Heather

Skin has a purpose. The adjective 'cutaneous' means: "of the skin" (Latin 'cutis' or skin). Skin of a different nature exists in amphibians, reptiles, and birds. All mammals have hair on their skin. Other animal coverings, such as the arthropod exoskeleton, have different developmental origin, structure and chemical composition.
The skin actively interfaces with the environment and is the first-line of defense from all external factors. In mammals, the skin is an organ of the 'integumentary system' which is made up of multiple layers of ectodermal tissue that guards underlying muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. The skin specifically plays a key role in protecting the body against threatening pathogens and excessive water loss. The skin's other functions include insulation, temperature regulation, sensation (i.e. feeling), and the production of vitamin D folates. Severely damaged skin may heal by forming scar tissue. These scars are sometimes discolored and de-pigmented.
MXI Corp (AKA: Xocai) has set 'MLM sales records' because of their experienced field leadership which include: Jeremy Reynolds (Utah), Jeanette Brooks (Nevada), Adam Green (Utah), Derrick Winkel (California), Paul Engemann (Utah), Connie Holstein (California), Felix Gudino (Washington), Ruth & Sherm Smith (Indiana), Caroline & Butch Swaby (Tennessee), Glen Overton (Utah), Martin Brooks (Nevada), Overton (MLM UT), Mike & Dana Alsop (Indiana), Bob Stuhr (California) Joe Arredondo (California), Joe Duncan (Reno), Derek Lamb (UT), Joyce Kleinman (Utah), Diana McCalla (CA), Kaye Wing (CA), Brad Stewart (Utah), Darrell Eyre (UT) and many other notable 'Global Partners' from around the world.
Skin is the soft outer covering of vertebrates. The thickness of skin varies from location to location on an organism. In humans for example, the skin under the eyes and around the eyelids is the thinnest skin in the body (0.5 mm thick) and is one of the first areas to show signs of aging such as "crows-feet," spots and wrinkles. The skin on the palms and the soles of the feet is 4 mm thick and the thickest skin in the body. The speed and quality of wound healing in skin is promoted by the reception of estrogen.

My Early Reviews of Renegade Rums
Posted by Arctic Wolf on May 10, 2011
This week I am re-posting my early reviews of the rums from the Renegade Rum Company.
One of the aspects of these rums which sets them apart from other rums is the barrels chosen for refinishing. Not second run whiskey barrels from the United States, but rather more exotic wine barrels from selected wineries in Europe. They produce Port finished rums from Panama and Barbados, and Chateau Latour finished rums from Jamaica and Guyana. Renegade also experiments with a Madeira finished Guyanese rum. And those are but a few.
These rums are unique and quite unlike anything produced anywhere else in the world. They do not taste like traditional rums, rather they taste like new hybrid spirits with the influence from the finishing casks setting their imprint firmly into the rum.
For more information please visit the Renegade Rum Website.
Here are the links to my early Renegade Rum Reviews:
Review: Renegade Rum Panama (Don José) 1997
Review: Renegade Guyana Uitvlught 1995
Review: Renegade Rum Company 2000 Jamaica Rum
The Review for the Renegade Uitvlught 1995 includes a cocktail designed specifically for that rum, A Sloe Walk in the Jungle.
(Just to be upfront with everyone I admit that I have edited the reviews to correct the old typos that I have noticed, and in some cases to clarify my somewhat terse writing style. But the scores and the essence of each review has remained the same.)
Please enjoy this re-posting of my Renegade Rum Reviews!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

COOLIDGE, Ariz. – Twenty-two Central Arizona College students, who live throughout Pinal County, are learning biology paired with natural history in a new course offered for the first time this fall.
Natural History of the Southwest (BIO109) was developed as part of a $3.3 million STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) grant that CAC received from the U.S. Department of Education.
Under the direction of Dr. Beth Krueger, professor of science, students met in person for the first class session in August. Since then, students have been participating in classes through distance learning and a quartet of daylong field trips at locations throughout southeastern Arizona.
The field days at Arizona-Sonoran Desert Museum (Tucson), Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park (Superior), Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch (Gilbert) and Desert Willow Environmental Education Center (Mesa) provide students with perfect venues to study the geography, climate, and common plants and animals of the Southwest, specifically the Sonoran Desert.
In addition, students learn basic field and laboratory techniques used in natural history, ecology and biology studies. The program is a hands-on experience.
During their recent visit to Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park, students were divided into teams and given four tasks to complete throughout the day. These included studying the behavior of arthropods, testing the water quality of Ayer Lake, weather observations, and completing a birding competition in which groups of students had to identify the species and number of birds they encountered, as well as their location in the arboretum.
"I love this class and would recommend it for all Arizonians and winter visitors," Linda Lawson, a student from the Florence Center, chirped while closely listening and watching for birds.
Tanner Kemp, a student from the Signal Peak Campus, reflected upon his own bird-watching experience. "I remember being told that the more patient and still you sit, the more you will see. This applies to any type of wildlife observation."
As a class requirement, students design their own weebly.com website. Included on each student's website is a copy of their weekly nature journal, a description of their individual semester project, and laboratory activity findings and data analysis from each field day.
Margaret Allen of Florence has embraced the computer technology she has learned by developing her own website – www.bio109margaretallen2.weebly.com.
Debby and Nathaniel Thompson, a mother and son tandem who attend classes at CAC's Aravaipa Campus, decided to share this class experience together.
"My favorite things are the field days and applying what we are learning," Nathaniel Thompson said. "Seeing it firsthand is the most rewarding part of the class."
His mother echoed her son's enjoyment of the new course that has fast become a favorite by the students currently enrolled in the class.
"I really enjoy this course. It has opened my eyes to our ecology and helps to bring a lot of awareness," Debby Thompson said. "Beth is an excellent teacher. It was a good choice to take this course."
Krueger's student-focused teaching style that stresses engagement, coupled with the programs she has planned, is reaping benefits in the form of active participation and learning by her students.
"It is very rewarding to see students learn to enjoy and appreciate the Sonoran Desert ecosystem," Krueger explained. "Many of them are applying what they learn to their lives and to their communities. For example, one student's project is to transform her yard into a more bird-friendly space – removing invasive species of plants and replacing them with native plants."
Some of her students are taking what they learn and applying it to their own classroom.
"Another student is finishing her bachelors' degree in education from Northern Arizona University and her BIO109 project consists of creating a week-long group of lesson plans for elementary students about cacti. As part of her BIO109 project, she will be implementing these lessons during her student-teaching, and will reflect on and analyze the success of her lesson plans."
For more information about the BIO109 course, contact Dr. Beth Krueger at firstname.lastname@example.com. For more information about the STEM program at Central Arizona College, please visit www.centralaz.edu/STEM or call 520-494-5493.

PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) � A security guard working in Oscar Pistorius' gated community says the athlete told him everything was "fine" when he called to investigate neighbors' reports of gunshots on the night Reeva Steenkamp was killed.
Pieter Baba, who drove with another guard and made a phone call to Pistorius from outside the Olympian's villa in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, testified Friday: "that's when Mr. Pistorius said to me everything is fine."
Baba said Pistorius called him back but was crying, didn't say anything and the line "went off."
Baba said he told a fellow security guard: "not everything was in order as Mr. Pistorius was telling me."
Pistorius is charged with murder. He says he shot Steenkamp by mistake, thinking she was an intruder.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Thursday nominated Mary Jo White, a former US attorney who built a reputation prosecuting white-collar criminals, terrorists and mobsters, to lead the Securities and Exchange Commission. The agency has a lead role in implementing changes on Wall Street.
Obama also named Richard Cordray to stay on as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The president used a recess appointment last year to bypass congressional opposition and install the former Ohio attorney general as head of the bureau. That appointment expires at the end of this year.
White spent nearly a decade as the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, handling an array of white-collar crimes and complex securities and financial fraud cases. She brought down mobster John Gotti and won convictions in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
Obama said that experience makes White well-suited to implement legislation he championed to change the behavior on Wall Street.
"I'd say that's a pretty good run. You don't want to mess with Mary Jo," Obama said at the White House. "As one former SEC chairman said, Mary Jo does not intimidate easily, and that's important because she's got a big job ahead of her."

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas reveals his experiment with Gareth Bale at left back is unlikely to be repeated.
The Welsh winger linked up at left back after injury to Benoit Assou Ekotto ruled the Cameroonian out of Spurs' match against QPR.
But in a disappointing first 45 minutes Bale was ineffective, and QPR took a first half lead thanks to a Bobby Zamora goal.
Villas-Boas brought on Steven Caulker in the second period, switching Jan Vertonghen to left-back and pushing Bale further forward into his more familiar left midfield role.
And Spurs enjoyed a much more successful second half as a result, scoring two goals in the space of two minutes to turn the tie around, eventually holding on for a 2-1 victory.
The victory gave Villas-Boas his first win at White Hart Lane since becoming Tottenham boss, and the Portuguese manager admitted the half time change did the trick.
"We decided to play with Gareth at left-back because we thought he would give us more width," Villas-Boas told The Sun.
"But we were much more steady in the second half when we made changes."
Bale began his career as a left-back at Southampton, before moving to White Hart Lane while still a teenager.
But his performances further up the pitch convinced former-Spurs boss Harry Redknapp that the Welshman was best utilised in more advanced positions, with Bale even given license to play through the middle on occasion.

Authorities said they had arrested 17 of the accused gang members in San Diego, Arizona and New Jersey, and that another four people charged in the indictment, unsealed on Wednesday, were already in custody on other charges. Another three remained at large.
The defendants face charges of running a racketeering conspiracy, and 14 of them were arraigned on Thursday in federal court in San Diego, where they pleaded not guilty.
The San Diego-based sex trafficking operation which was run by members of the Black MOB and Skanless gangs, extended into 46 cities across 23 U.S. states, according to the federal grand jury indictment.
"The kind of sex trafficking described in this indictment is nothing less than modern-day slavery," U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy for the Southern District of California told reporters on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, more gangs are expanding from traditional pursuits like drug dealing into this lucrative business."
Last month in Las Vegas, prosecutors said, the gang took part in an event called a "Players Ball" in which one of the suspects, Robert Banks III, posed with a so-called Pimp Cup and a Pimp Stick to signify his high status in the trade.
Among the items seized in the investigation by the San Diego Police Department and the FBI were two guns and marijuana plants, and prosecutors filed forfeiture court actions to seize the gold dental "grills" some of the defendants wore on their teeth.
The ring recruited women and girls from the streets in San Diego and used social media websites such as Instagram, Facebook and YouTube to lure others into prostitution with rap videos and promises of glamor, prosecutors said.
Brian Watkins, a lawyer for Banks, said after the court hearing on Thursday, that the allegations against his client were exaggerated.
"A lot of this has to do with associations, and a lot of these people are from the same neighborhood, grew up together and they know people in gangs," Watkins said.
"There are activities that most teenagers do that are being alleged as part of serious gang activity, like things being said in rap songs that are being used as evidence when rap is clearly entertainment," he said.
The men and women accused in the enterprise had roles ranging from transporting prostitutes to handling money, booking hotel rooms and placing advertisements for sex, prosecutors said. Some also worked to force women and girls into prostitution and dispense violence to maintain their loyalty, prosecutors said.
Racketeering, the charge of running a criminal enterprise that was brought against the mostly male gang members named in the indictment, includes the act of sex trafficking, Assistant U.S. Attorney Alessandra Serano said.
Prosecutors said 49 women and 11 teenage girls were victimized by the sex trafficking scheme and have been offered resources to leave prostitution.

Even if I don't dive regularly, I like to keep my membership active to support DAN and all of the great things that they do. If finances are a little tight, you could just be a member and forgo the insurance portion until you are ready to dive again. I believe that by just being a member, you will still get Alert Diver, but I'm not sure. I did that for my son since he hadn't gone diving in 2 years. DAN member services is very supportive and understanding. When I wanted to renew his insurance again for a trip we are taking in December, they pro-rated his insurance and a family membership until our regular renewal in January. As I said, DAN is very accommodating.
Ellen and Andy - Thanks for your comments about DAN insurance. I agree. Would never dive without it, and unfortunately have had multiple occassions to use it over the years. Actually, a lot of nondivers buy it just for the evacuation insurance. I have a buddy who got hurt in a 4-wheeler accident while on safari in Africa and the DAN insurance expedited and paid for his air evac.
However, to answer Ellen's comment above - no, you don't have to buy insurance to get Alert Diver. It is sent free to all DAN members (North America).
