The music technology program combines a traditional approach to the study of music with a concentration in the theories, techniques and technologies used for artistic expression in many forms. Our students study the basics of acoustics, recording and mixed-media production through the use of both conventional and emerging technologies.
We offer both 50 and 78 hour degree options focusing on music recording and production, creative technologies in composition and multimedia art design, and a 'designed' option allowing students to create individualized curricula for specialized areas of interest. The most important feature of the music technology program is the emphasis on artistic merit over technology. It is our philosophy that the synergy between expression and technology requires a strong artistic foundation.
The music technology curriculum requires an entrance audition and applied instrumental or vocal studies, the demonstration of musical excellence through ensemble participation and the performance of degree recitals, and the production of a capstone work combining many tools and techniques used in artistic production.
Our students have access to state-of-the-art facilities:
Digital Audio Recording and Production Studio
Digital Interactive Sound and Intermedia Studio
ICAT (Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology)
Virginia Tech has always been a leader in technology-based music study and instruction. Beginning in 1982 with Microcomputer Applications in Music and continuing with Audio Technology for Music in 1993, our curriculum and facilities have continued to expand, accommodating the dynamic needs of creative work, instruction, recording, and production in the area of music technology.

Special Note for Prospective Students: since musical ability is such an important component of this program, both an entrance audition and continued instrumental applied studies are required. This standard keeps enrollment small and instruction personal. Students are treated as individuals with their own unique gifts and needs.

North Carolina: HIV Testing Grows in Inmate Population
September 5, 2012
Adapted from:
HIV testing uptake among state prisoners has risen to nearly 100 percent in the past three years thanks to a new approach, a study by University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill researchers finds.
Just three years ago, only 15 percent of male inmates and 80 percent of female inmates were screened for HIV, according to the researchers making it difficult for officials to monitor the spread of the virus and treat those infected. Inmates had to elect whether they wanted to be tested when asked about their high-risk behaviors.
CDC presented a new approach in 2006, which was adopted by N.C. prison officials in November 2008. Under the revised policy, HIV testing is part of routine health screenings upon intake, with inmates having the choice to opt out. Now, 90 percent-95 percent of prisoners statewide are tested for HIV upon entering prison, said Dr. David Wohl, co-director of HIV Services for the N.C. Department of Correction.
Wohl noted that 97 percent of inmates who tested HIV-positive already knew they had HIV. That only 3 percent first learned they were HIV-positive through correctional-setting testing indicates there is a very small number of unreported HIV cases among North Carolina's prisoners, he added.
While Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) data show 20 states have adopted mandatory inmate HIV testing, Wohl believes opt-out testing is a better approach. Inmates are receptive to HIV prevention and treatment information when given the consent choice, said Wohl. "The idea of coercing inmates into being tested makes me uncomfortable," he said.
BJS data from 2008 showed North Carolina had the fifth-highest rate (1.5 percent-2 percent) of inmates with confirmed HIV or AIDS compared to other states.

What Benefits Do Garcinia Cambogia Oral Sprays Offer?
People everywhere understand the importance of maintaining a healthy weight. Men and women are using a variety of pills and supplements to help them lose weight; however, many of these products do not work. If you are looking for a weight loss product that works, look no further than Hemp Genix CBD with Garcinia Cambogia.
Garcinia Cambogia is a weight loss supplement made from the tropical fruit Malabar tamarind. This product blocks your body's ability to produce fat and decreases your appetite. In addition to this, Garcinia Cambogia may help keep your cholesterol levels and blood sugar levels in check. You will find Garcinia Cambogia supplements in almost every store; however, these often contain other ingredients, which may cause side effects.
How Does It Work?
The active ingredient in the Malabar tamarind's rind is hydroxy citric acid (HCA). HCA has been shown to boost the body's fat burning ability and reduce appetite. HCA blocks citrate lyase, which is an enzyme used by the body to make fat. Additionally, HCA raises serotonin levels, which keeps you from feeling hungry.
The Benefits of Hemp Genix CBD Oil Spray with Garcinia HCA
The main ingredient in this spray is Garcinia Cambogia. The Malabar tamarind is a fruit that grows in Indonesia and India. The tamarind is about the size of an apple and looks similar to a small pumpkin. Garcinia Cambogia is often used in recipes to enhance the flavor of a dish.
A few decades ago, scientists discovered that the skin of the Malabar tamarind contains hydroxy citric acid, which offers a number of benefits. HCA is a natural weight loss supplement to help boost metabolism and decrease the absorption rate of fat.
How CBD Oil Can Help You Lose Weight
The endocannabinoid system, abbreviated as ECS, is a group of specialized fatty acid signaling compounds, their receptors and the enzymes that produce and break down fatty acids. This system acts on similar immune cell and brain receptors known as CB1 and CB2, using the active compounds found in cannabis, including CBD and THC.
CBD, a nonpsychoactive substance, provides anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antipsychotic, antitumor, anxiolytic and antiemetic properties. CBD is a natural product that offers many benefits. If this substance could only help you lose weight...
Korean researchers published a recent study in the molecular and Cellular Biochemistry scientific journal on the effects of CBD on pre-adipose (immature fat cells) and how it can affect weight loss. The study found the following information.
1. CBD stimulates proteins and genes to help the body oxidize and break down fat.
2. CBD increases the activity of the mitochondria to help increase metabolism (the body's ability to burn calories).
3. CBD decreases the proteins used for lipogenesis, which is the process of generating fat cells.
These results show that CBD induces fat browning by converting white adipose tissue that the body stores for energy to beige colored adipose tissue that the body burns for energy. Previous studies have shown that increasing beige colored adipose improves glucose tolerance, which protects against a number of blood lipid abnormalities and diabetes.
Over activating the endocannabinoid system by activating CB1 receptors can lead to increased weight gain in the midsection, insulin resistance and glucose uptake in the fat cells in the body. This can create a vicious cycle that causes insulin resistance and abdominal obesity. Additionally, over activating CB1 increases appetite levels and body fat.
A study published by Farrimond et al. in 2012 examined the effects of a number of phytocannabinoids, including CBD and cannabinol (CBN) on the feeding patterns of rats. The researchers theorized that different cannabinoids modulate the CB1 receptors in the brain. This study showed that cannabinol increased appetite, decreased metabolism and increased weight gain. CBD, on the other hand, decreased appetite, enhanced metabolism and improved weight loss.
In addition to using Garcinia Cambogia oral spray with CBD, there are many ways to increase the beige colored adipose and decrease white adipose. Try exercising in cold weather. For an increased effect, supplement your cold exercise program with Hemp Genix CBD with Garcinia Cambogia. Aerobic exercise will help you burn fat, while strength training exercises will increase muscle which increases metabolism. Combining both of these types of exercises will maximize your weight loss efforts, decrease abdominal fat and improve your overall health.
Finally, eat a healthy diet filled with healthy fats, lean proteins and colorful fruits and vegetable. Count calories and drink at least a half an ounce of water for each pound you weigh to ensure you are properly hydrated. If you are especially active, you may need to increase your water intake to once ounce per pound. Doing this will keep you feeling full and help to flush toxins and fat from your body.
Garcinia Cambogia Weight Loss Spray With CBD
A Basic Guide On Garcinia Cambogia For Weight Loss
The weight loss market is huge with most people looking to shed a bit of weight. This is one of the reasons why the market is flooded with supplements that claim to help you lose weight quickly. Among these supplements is the controversial garcinia cambogia fruit. Supplements with this fruit have been praised by many people including Dr. Oz and others like him, but you need to consider if this supplement is right for you before you rush out to buy it.
What Is Garcinia Cambogia
Before you take any supplement you need to know what is in it and where it comes from. Garcinia cambogia also known as the Malabar tamarind is a citrus fruit which grows in Southeast Asia. Historically, the hydroxycitric acid or HCA which is extracted from the rind of the fruit has been used in cooking. It has also been known to help with weight loss because many people believe it stops the body's ability to produce fat.
The HCA in the fruit appears t block the enzyme citrate lyase. This is the enzyme in the body which makes fat. It will also increase the levels of serotonin which will make you feel less hungry.
It is possible to buy the supplement made from this fruit in most health and supplement stores. The supplement comes as a pill or as a powder. It has also been included as an ingredient in many snack bars which make it easier to ingest. The recommended dosage for the supplement is 250 to 1000 mg per day.
Part of the allure of these supplements is the fact that the ingredient is from a fruit. This is deemed natural and as such it must be safe to have. However, it is important that you look at what the supplement claims it can do and what has been proven before you take it.
What The Supplements Do
All weight loss supplements state that they can help you lose weight quickly due to the properties of the ingredients. Garcinia cambogia is no different with advocates for it stating that it can help in a number of ways. The HCA in the fruit is believed to help you feel full and reducing your appetite which affecting the metabolism to increase weight loss. Some people also state that the HCA will improve high cholesterol levels and enhance athletic performances.
There is actually a very long list of benefits that the advocates of HCA claim. This is why it can be hard to determine the truth of the claims from the fiction. However, there is some scientific research which has been to determine if these claims are true or not.
Can Garcinia Cambogia Make You Feel Full?
There have been a number of studies completed on the effect of garcinia cambogia on the appetite. While it does appear to affect the levels of serotonin, there is no conclusive evidence that it does make you feel full. The increased serotonin is believed to decrease the appetite and this was seen in studies on rodents. However, the human studies have been unable to completely replicate the rodent results and caused a verdict of inconclusive evidence.
Reduces Your Body Weight
One of the primary reasons people are buying supplements made with this fruit is the weight loss aspect. A review which was published in the Journal of Obesity found that the people who took garcinia cambogia would lose approximately 2 pounds more than the people who did not. However, it is stated in the review that the researchers are unsure if the supplement caused the weight loss or the diet and exercise routine that the participants were told to follow.
Another study published in JAMA found that the supplement did not help with weight loss or cause a decrease in the body fat mass. This was a 12-week, double-blind experiment where some participants were given a placebo and others were given the supplement. It is believed that more research will need to be carried out before anyone can be sure about the weight loss effects of this fruit.
Speeds Up The Metabolism
There has been some evidence found in research that shows that this fruit can influence the metabolism. There are several studies which have been conducted on humans and rodents which looked into this. These studies found that an increase in the metabolism was registered when HCA was ingested.
Possible Side Effects
A lot of people do not consider the side effects when they take supplements. However, as supplements can affect the way that they body works there are going to be side effects of this. Some of the side effects related to garcinia cambogia include dry mouth, dizziness, diarrhea, an upset stomach and headaches.
There are also certain medications that the HCA could interact badly with. These medicines include the blood thinner Warfarin, diabetes medicines such as insulin and pills, pain medications, asthma and allergy medications such as Singulair, iron for anemia, statins for lower cholesterol and prescription medications for psychiatric conditions. It is also recommended that you not use the supplement if you are pregnant or have kidney and liver problems.
In 2009, the FDA warned people to stop using a weight-loss product that contained garcinia cambogia as it was believed to cause liver problems. However, the supplement did have other ingredients and it is still not yet clear if the garcinia cambogia was the cause of the liver problems.

I got one requirement from our clients regarding remote authentication. In which all users info present in remote user database.
Currently using openssh for SSH connections.
To open a new remote session via SSH, the openssh will look into the /etc/passwd file. If user present then it will allow to login using password or key authentication.
But in my case all user info is present in remote database and authentication is form remote using tacacs+ server.
Due to this I am facing error message as below

"We're not the food police!" exclaims one DaVita dietitian. Okay, then: what exactly is a renal dietitian, what do renal dietitians do and why would they have a law enforcement-type reputation?
A renal dietitian is highly educated in food and nutrition and specializes in the dietary needs of people with chronic kidney disease. After earning a bachelor's degree, a dietitian needs to complete an internship and pass a national exam to become a Registered Dietitian (RD). Many dietitians also have a master's degree. Several states require that dietitians also get a license from the state where they work. All dietitians must continue their education each year to maintain their status as a registered dietitian.
A dietitian enjoys food sciences, understanding the relationship between food and nutrition and how it affects the body as well as teaching people what to eat to be healthier and feel better. Because renal dietitians specialize in the care of patients with chronic kidney disease, dietitians have thorough knowledge of what types and amounts of foods should be eaten by people who have high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, early kidney disease or are on dialysis.
Whether the patient does in-center hemodialysis, at-home hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, a dietitian is an important member of their health care team.
When a person with chronic kidney disease begins dialysis they will meet with a renal dietitian. At that initial meeting, the dietitian will:
Since many people are overwhelmed when starting dialysis treatments, the dietitian is careful not to overload the patient with information. The dietitian will focus on the patient's immediate needs first, then provide more information as it is needed.
The most important responsibility of the dietitian is to educate patients on what to eat based on the results of their lab work. The dietitian will provide valuable information to help the patient stay as healthy as possible. The dietitian's goal is to help patients understand that what they eat directly affects where their lab levels are. Dietitians also try to make patients aware of what can happen over time when those lab levels are not where they should be.
At least once each month the dietitian will give the patient a "nutrition report" with lab values from their blood test results. At this time the dietitian will:
The dietitian will assist in the management of bone disease (renal osteodystrophy), which can occur when phosphorus levels are too high for too long. By looking at phosphorus and calcium lab values, the dietitian will adjust the patient's diet, and work with the physician regarding medications, such as phosphate binders and active vitamin D doses.
Patients can also turn to their dietitians for advice when experiencing digestive problems such as trouble swallowing, loss of appetite, feeling full, constipation or other elimination problems.
Food has evolved into something more than what we need to eat to survive. People have developed a relationship with food. We have favorite foods, foods that tempt us and foods we hate. Dietitians realize people have emotional attachments to food and encourage patients to talk about these issues. The dietitian is available to offer support in addition to educating patients.
Far from policing what patients eat, the dietitian is a resource for living better on dialysis. Many times dietitians seem all knowing because lab values are giving them clues as to what the patient has been eating. A patient who has not been following the renal diet may feel a little guilt. This may be one of the reasons dietitians have the food police reputation. The dietitian isn't there to judge, but to help the patient be as healthy as possible.
Dietitians want to keep their patients healthy, plus they want to help them enjoy their foods. While a renal diet can seem restrictive, there is flexibility. A dietitian can show patients how to enjoy—in limited portions—their favorite foods and still have good lab results. Patients can also enjoy going to parties and dining at restaurants after learning how to plan ahead and make wise menu choices.
With a vast understanding of food science and how intake and nutrients affect the body, a dietitian creates an individualized eating plan for each and every dialysis patient. When a patient gives the dietitian a realistic assessment of their lifestyle, food preferences and health concerns, they can receive the best advice from this knowledgeable professional.
There can be many reasons a patient finds it difficult to stick to the renal diet. Some obstacles include phosphorus, albumin, weight loss, fluid gain, financial problems, not understanding their lab work, not knowing what to eat, lack of a support system, forgetting to take binders and many more. Whatever the challenge, the dietitian can provide patients with the tools to overcome obstacles and succeed.
If you're an RD who enjoys educating patients, working together as a team among dietitians and having fun, we'd like to meet you. DaVita is always enthusiastic about meeting qualified candidates who share our values.

International expert in effects of space and weightlessness joins JABSOM
Dr. Alan Schiller is the new head of Pathology at the medical schoolUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Director of Communications, Office of Dean of Medicine
A love for the ocean, plant life and professional collaboration across Hawai`i's medical community brought Alan L. Schiller, MD, Professor and the new Chair of Pathology at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM) to Hawai`i. It also doesn't hurt that he is an internationally known expert in orthopedic and joint pathology, including the effects of space and weightlessness on bone structure.
Though new to living in Hawai`i, Schiller is perfectly suited to live in a place with a respect for the Ahapua`a – traditional land divisions recognizing inter-relationships from the mountains to the sea. He grew up bodysurfing off the coast of Rockaway, New York, and loves ocean fishing. He adores gardening, which leaves him inspecting with awe every tropical plant he sees on his way to and from work each day. And then there is his drive to ho`olaulima, to work together.
With the partnerships JABSOM has with Hawai`i's community medical centers – our academic training partners -- I see an exciting opportunity to work together to build a collegial, close-knit pathology community," said Schiller. "There is a great need for pathology expertise in medical research of all types, and together we can create stronger links to tap into the knowledge and experience that exists throughout the islands. I would be delighted to help involve more of the islands' pathology community in contributing to research."
Schiller spent 47 years in the Naval Reserve, most recently as Captain, serving on the Space Science Board of the Committee on Space Biology and Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications Advisory Committee of NASA, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute.
Listed among New York Magazine's Best Doctors for a number of years. Schiller is also the Irene Heinz and John LaPorte Given Professor and Chief Emeritus of the Department of Pathology at The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City and the author of more than 140 peer-reviewed papers, books, chapters and abstracts. He has been a visiting professor all over the country and in many other countries and has led international seminars and conferences as well. He is the recipient of multiple teaching awards.
Schiller earned his AB in 1963 from Bowdoin College and his MD in 1967 at Chicago Medical School. Postdoctoral internships and residencies between 1967 and 1972 were held at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
In 1969, while still a pathology resident, Schiller joined the faculty at Tufts University School of Medicine. In 1974, he joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School as an Assistant Professor of Pathology; he was named Associate Professor in 1979. Subsequent appointments include appointments at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and New York University.
In 1988, Schiller joined the faculty at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine as Professor and Chair of the Department of Pathology.
Schiller has served on editorial boards of the Journal of Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, the Bone Research Laboratory, the International Academy of Pathology, Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants, Modern Pathology, Annals of Diagnostic Pathology Teaching Experience, McGraw-Hill Yearbook of Science and Technology, Encyclopedia Britannica and Skeletal Radiology. Additionally he serves on the Board of Directors of the National Space Biomedical Research Institute. Schiller started serving in the United States Naval Reserve in 1964, while still a medical student. In 1995, he earned the rank of Commander, and, in 2002, the rank of Captain. Schiller also served as Specialty Leader in charge of all pathology Navy reservists. In 2011, he retired from the Navy after 47 years due to a mandatory congressional age requirement—otherwise it is clear from his love for the service that he would still proudly serve in the Active Reserves to this day.

Notable: Harvard Didn't Try To Claim Ownership Of Facebook
from the hopefully-that's-policy,-not-luck dept
A lot of this goes back to the ridiculous infatuation universities have had over the past few decades with trying to justify their failing tech transfer offices. Tons of universities set up "tech transfer" offices in the 80s (at the urging of the federal government, and driven by the disastrous Bayh-Dole Act). These universities had visions of massive profits flowing back when companies used the ideas of their brilliant researchers and commercialized them. The problem, of course, is that this is not how innovation actually works. Turning pure research into a product is not a simple process, and it doesn't happen very often. Great companies are usually driven by fulfilling consumer needs, not spotting some random bit of research. But the tech transfer offices overvalued their research, insisting that the idea was the key part, and thus they should be paid handsomely for it. For the vast majority of universities that has proven to be a huge failure. Tech transfer offices cost significant money to set up and staff, however, so universities have recognized that what was supposed to be a profit center has been a significant black hole for money. In response, there's been an increased focus on trying to claim ownership of any successful startup created by students, really as a weak attempt to justify the massive disaster of their tech transfer setup.
But Harvard -- whether it was wisely or due to ignorance -- chose not to go that path. And, as the article notes, this actually has reflected quite well on the school:
Fortunately, Harvard's minor role in Facebook's history has attracted a different reaction: a star-studded Hollywood blockbuster, a reinvigorated reputation as a dream school for entrepreneurial teens, and warm feelings among millionaire alumni who may become large donors. By contrast, few know that modern web browsing was born at the University of Illinois, and Netscape's embittered founders vowed never to give another dime to their alma mater-turned-adversary.The article covers a few other crazy cases, including one where a former student ended up in jail in a dispute with the University of South Florida. Similarly, the University of Missouri apparently tried to claim ownership of a popular iPhone app, because the student had entered it into a university business plan competition.
In an age where we see so much overclaiming and this ridiculous growth of "ownership society" where everyone tries to claim ownership over "ideas" they had little to do with, Harvard really does deserve kudos for not going down that path.

Lobular carcinoma in situ (inside) is classified as a high-risk condition. It originates in the milk-producing lobes and is rarely thought to develop into breast cancer, however, a history of lobular carcinoma in situ may put you at a higher risk of developing breast cancer in the future.
Women with a diagnosis of lobular carcinoma in situ are referred to the High-Risk Breast Cancer Program.
Invasive lobular carcinoma is characterized when the mutated cells spread from the lobules into the breast tissue.
In lobular carcinoma, lumps are uncommon and may be difficult to detect by breast exam or mammogram. You may notice thickening or fullness in the breast instead.
» See more symptoms of lobular carcinoma.
» See more symptoms of lobular carcinoma.
Lobular carcinoma is more likely than other types of breast cancer to occur in both breasts.
Anybody can develop lobular carcinoma, but certain factors may increase your risk, including:
Learn more about the High-Risk Breast Cancer Program at Magee.
Talk to your doctor if you notice any of the following symptoms:
Experts at the Magee-Womens Breast Cancer Program use a variety of tests and procedures to diagnose and screen for breast cancer, including:
Ultrasound (sonography)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Mammogram with computer-aided detection (CAD)
3D mammogram (tomosynthesis)
Minimally invasive breast biopsy
If you're diagnosed with lobular carcinoma, treatment will depend on your general health and the results of your tests.
Your doctors and other specialists at the Magee-Womens Breast Cancer Program will work with you to consider your options and determine a course of action.
Surgery is often the primary treatment for breast cancer.
In many cases, we may also recommend additional therapies before (neo adjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery to control an aggressive cancer or to reduce the risk of recurrence.
Procedures and treatments for breast cancer may include:
Ask your doctor or nurse to teach you how to perform a breast exam on yourself. Each clinical visit should also include a breast exam.
View screening recommendations for women without symptoms or a family history of breast cancer.

ATK Technologies Support United Launch Alliance Atlas V Launch and LDCM Satellite
ATK Provides Critical Flight Precision Spacecraft Structures for Satellite Mapping
Feb 12, 2013, 12:06 EST
ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ATK (NYSE : ATK ) provided critical hardware for both the United Launch Alliance Atlas V launch vehicle and the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) satellite that launched February 11 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
LDCM is a collaborative effort between NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey to provide a long-term record of the Earth's landscapes for use in agriculture, education, business, science and government. The data from the Landsat spacecraft constitute the longest record of the Earth's continental surfaces as seen from space.
"ATK is proud to provide key components of these important science missions for NASA," said David Shanahan, Vice President and General Manager of ATK's Space Components Division. "Landsat has provided remarkable data for nearly 40 years, and the work we collaborate on with our customers will lead to the next generation's understanding of our planet."
For the LDCM satellite, ATK led the design, engineering, fabrication and testing of the spacecraft's graphite composite structures from sites located in San Diego, Calif., and Magna, Utah. Among the critical ATK-provided structures are the Operational Land Imager (OLI) optical and intermediate benches for Ball Aerospace in Boulder, Colo., and the spacecraft sensor platform that supports both the OLI and Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) for the spacecraft integrator, Orbital Sciences Corporation in Gilbert, Ariz. The precision optical structures met or exceeded requirements for thermal distortion, pointing and stiffness while supporting the science sensors that are vital for the spacecraft mission performance.
For the ULA Atlas V rocket, ATK produced the 10-foot diameter composite heat shield, which provides essential protection for the first stage of the launch vehicle, using advanced fiber placement manufacturing techniques at its Iuka, Miss., and Clearfield, Utah, facilities. In addition, ATK manufactured the Reaction Control System (RCS) propellant tank for the Atlas V rocket at its Commerce, Calif., facility. The Atlas V rocket (AV-035) flew in the 401 vehicle configuration with a four-meter fairing, a single-engine Centaur upper stage and no solid rocket boosters. This is the 36th Atlas V launch using ATK-built composite structures.
With the LDCM satellite, ATK is building on a strong heritage of providing flight precision spacecraft structures for important NASA science missions. Previously, ATK provided the structures for the bus core, solar arrays and the photometer to Ball Aerospace for NASA's Kepler mission, which is searching for habitable planets around other stars. The ATK Magna site is currently providing the backplane, backplane support frame, Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) optical bench, secondary mirror struts and star tracker structures for NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to support NASA's important science missions," said Dave Howell, ATK's Operations director for Space Components in Magna, Utah. "It is gratifying to know how important ATK's hard work in engineering and manufacturing is to our nation's satellite programs."
TenCate Advanced Composites, based in Morgan Hill, Calif., and Hexcel Corporation, based in West Valley City, Utah, provided advanced graphite materials used by ATK in the manufacturing of the LDCM and JWST satellite's graphite composite structures.
ATK is an aerospace, defense, and commercial products company with operations in 21 states, Puerto Rico, and internationally. News and information can be found on the Internet at www.atk.com.

Soybean growers faced with the most damaging sucking and chewing pests have a new tool. Leverage 2.7SE insecticide from Bayer CropScience recently received EPA registration for soybeans.
Featuring two modes of action and a broad spectrum of protection, Leverage 2.7 controls a wide range of pests such as soybean aphid, bean leaf beetle, Japanese beetle and corn rootworm beetles. Leverage 2.7 is also registered for use in cotton.
"With the two modes of action in Leverage 2.7, soybean growers get the best of both worlds — rapid knockdown with long-lasting foliar and in-plant residual activity," said Ed Keane, Leverage 2.7 product manager, Bayer CropScience.
"Plus, it contains a new mode of action for foliar soybean insect control, which provides an additional resistance-management tool."
Cotton growers continue to benefit from Leverage 2.7, he added.
It is the complete solution for mid- and late-season insect control by protecting cotton against a wide range of problematic pests, from plant bugs and stink bugs to bollworms and other lepidopterous pests.
The result is improved square retention and higher yield potential.
"Leverage 2.7 is equipped with Stress Shield technology," Keane said, "protecting the plant from many environmental stresses that can reduce plant vigor and yield. It has surface and translaminar activity, which means it protects both the upper and lower sides of leaves."
"Leverage 2.7 is an excellent tool for both soybean and cotton growers to realize the highest yields — and profits — possible."

Join us at an upcoming Aneurysm-AVM Support Group meeting.
View meeting location and dates>
Gamma Knife radiosurgery is one of the most precise, powerful, and proven treatments for brain disorders. This painless procedure uses hundreds of highly focused radiation beams to target tumors and lesions within the brain.
With no surgical incision required, Gamma Knife radiosurgery is especially useful when conventional surgical procedures pose a high risk for patients.
UPMC installed the first North American Gamma Knife in 1987 and subsequently introduced and pioneered each succeeding generation of technological improvement. Over its 30-year history at UPMC, Gamma Knife radiosurgery has proved effective for more than 15,000 patients with:
Today, the Center for Image-Guided Neurosurgery at UPMC is the nation's leading provider of Gamma Knife procedures, and is a major teaching center for neurosurgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical physicists from around the globe.
UPMC is the first hospital in the region and one of the first in the nation to use the most advanced generation of Gamma Knife radiosurgery - the Gamma Knife Icon. The system allows for a frame-based or frameless approach to radiosurgery, providing surgeons with more options when treating complex neurological conditions.
Icon's cutting-edge technology uses radiological images to target areas in the brain more precisely than ever, and it uses dosage control and motion management systems to ensure treatment is administered with extreme accuracy.
Our experts in Gamma Knife radiosurgery are able to treat an array of brain disorders.

Real Madrid can still reach the Champions League final despite their 4-1 first-leg defeat to Borussia Dortmund, according to Xabi Alonso.
"We have six days to wait and we can turn this result around," he said in the post-match press conference.
Robert Lewandowski scored all four goals to shock Jose Mourinho's men at the Westfalenstadion, but the ex-Liverpool engine-roomer insists the tie is far from over.
"We can do it in the second match at home, even though we are not happy with this match right now," he declared.
"The fans' support will be crucial in the second leg, but we have to be the ones to make the first move so that they can get behind us."
World Cup winner Alonso gave away a penalty which was subsequently dispatched by Lewandowski, but he acknowledged that the Germans were the better side.
He said: "Borussia competed better than us and we have to learn for the next match because we have little margin for error."
The previous night saw Bayern Munich dismantle Barcelona in similar fashion, with few now expecting a Spanish team to feature in the final at Wembley.
But Alonso remained upbeat, suggesting that Madrid couldn't wait for the return leg at the Bernabeu next Tuesday.
"We have six days to wait and we can turn this around," he said.
Los Blancos haven't reached the Champions League final since 2002, and will have to score at least three times next week to have any chance of ending that wait.

The cloth diapering community lost a bright and shining star with the passing of Judy Aagard this weekend. Judy suffered from leukemia and fought bravely to stay with us. Among many things, Judy will be remembered for creating the Great Cloth Diaper Change, an annual world wide event where the world record for simultaneous cloth diaper changes is challenged or broken each year. Tens of thousands of families have participated in this annual event to highlight cloth diapering and her inspiration and creativity will be missed by all of us.
A former board member of the Real Diaper Industry Association and the National Association of Diaper Services, Judy was a second generation diaper service operator and the co-owner of Tiny Tots Baby Boutique. Judy cared about babies and families and devoted her professional life to making reusable alternatives to disposable diapers as widely available as possible. Her positive impact on the world around her can not be overstated as she lived her faith in god and truly made the world a better place.

Dear ASPECT friends:
After ten years, twenty-six DVDs and the published works of over 200 artists, the staff and board of ASPECT have decided to stop publishing our DVD periodical. Looking back on what we have accomplished, it is no understatement to say that we took on the art world and changed the way it looks at new media art.
When ASPECT published our first DVD in 2003 there were few, if any, dedicated new media programs at the graduate or undergraduate level in the world. Youtube and Facebook did not yet exist. At that time the idea of getting video directly from artists and publishing it for the use and consumption of universities, students and other artists was considered impossible. A DVD periodical was an unknown idea, and it took several years to educate the public as to the potential of such a format.
Today, new media art programs exist at universities around the world. Many artists publish their work on their own website or on video sharing services. Video art is a much more accepted and understood medium, and the broader genre of new media art has been accepted and integrated into galleries, museums and academia. However, the concept of pairing primary source material and critical analysis in the same publication remains unique to ASPECT.
The world has changed around us and accepted the genre, format and approach that ASPECT has been highlighting. Therefore it is time for us to say thank you to all the artists who have contributed their work, the commentators who have lent their time and expertise, and the staff and volunteers over the years who have made this publication possible.live previewer

Exposure to community violence, either as victims or witnesses, is a widespread and persistent problem in many of America's urban cities. In the U.S., the number of adolescents murdered each year can fill a high school of almost 6,000 students. As alarming as these figures are, the frequency of non-fatal adolescent injuries is at least 120 times that of youth murders, and it is estimated that more than 1.2 million crimes against adolescents go unreported yearly. Exposure to community violence has been linked to mental health problems, poor academic performance, involvement with risky peer networks, and more recently, as Professor Voisin's work has documented, engaging in unsafe sex which increases the chances of contracting HIV. Collectively, these are problems which disproportionately affect African American and Latino youths. According to research by Voisin, studies on the impact of community violence have been generally artificially compartmentalized to examine discipline-specific outcomes (e.g., mental health, education performance, delinquency, and more recently risky sex) and have not adequately considered the interrelationships among these various domains which represent a major focus of Voisin's scholarship. Through engaged research, teaching, service, and training, Voisin is committed to illuminating the broad impact of community violence on the developmental trajectories of young persons.
For over21 years, Professor Voisin has been conducting numerous studies which seek to better understand the various ways in which community violence exposure impacts the mental health, educational, and sexual trajectories of urban youth, with a major focus towards HIV prevention and intervention. His research has been funded by competitive awards from the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the W.T. Grant Foundation, among others. His prior research has informed public policy and provided support for the passage of the Soto, Delgado Bill approved by Illinois Governor Pat Quinn . This bill will provide a state advisory council which will make recommendations to the Illinois Department of Public Health on effective prevention messages to deter youths from engaging in risky behaviors that lead to HIV/AIDS infections. Voisin's research has been cited by the Anne E. Casey Foundation, the Centers for Disease Control, the Maternal and Child Health Bureau, the California Department of Education, the Nebraska Department of Education, and the National Institutes of Health, among many others.

STATE v. JARRELL RICHARDS, SC 18370
Judicial District of Bridgeport
Criminal; Search and Seizure; Whether Police had Reasonable and Articulable Suspicion to Stop Defendant's Automobile. The defendant was charged with, among other things, possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle. The defendant filed a motion to suppress evidence seized from the automobile on the ground that the search of the automobile violated his constitutional rights against unlawful search and seizure. At the hearing on the motion to suppress, three police officers testified that, while conducting surveillance during the early morning hours in an area known for drug related activities, they observed the defendant and two passengers sitting in a vehicle with Vermont license plates. The officers claimed that it was common for drug dealers to park their automobiles along the street while waiting for others to approach to transact drug related business and that drug dealers commonly used rented automobiles, which often have out-of-state license plates, in their drug related activities in an attempt to escape police detection. The officers observed a pedestrian approach the automobile and briefly converse with the occupants but did not observe any hand-to-hand transaction take place. The defendant drove away, and the officers questioned the pedestrian about what had transpired. She replied that the occupants of the automobile had asked her to approach them and asked her if she "was straight," which the officers and the pedestrian understood to be a way of asking whether she wanted to buy drugs. After pursuing and stopping the defendant's automobile, the officers observed the automobile's occupants engaging in movements that suggested that they might be attempting to hide contraband. Upon searching the automobile, the officers found a handgun. Based on this evidence, the trial court denied the defendant's motion to suppress. The defendant then entered a plea of nolo contendere, conditioned on the right to appeal from the denial of his motion to suppress. On appeal, the Appellate Court (113 Conn. App. 823) affirmed the trial court's decision, determining that, under the totality of the circumstances, the police had a reasonable and articulable suspicion that one or more occupants of the vehicle was selling drugs so as to justify the investigatory stop. In this appeal, the Supreme Court will decide whether the Appellate Court properly determined that the police had a reasonable and articulable suspicion to stop the defendant's car.

A Short History of the Chinese Restaurant
From stir-fried buffalo to Matzoh Foo Young.
"Have You Eaten Yet?," the wonderful Chinese restaurants exhibit now on view at New York's Museum of Chinese in the Americas, takes a Babel of ephemera and makes it speak. One's visit begins with an absence: the never-photographed first Chinese eateries in America, known as "chow chows," which sprang up in California in the mid-19th century to serve Cantonese laborers. True holes in the wall, they were marked, as per a Chinese tradition, with yellow cloth triangles. No menus have survived, if ever there were any; who knows but that they served stir-fried buffalo. Still, we may gather that the workers liked the fare, for we do have the advertisements of competitors, who suddenly began offering free potatoes with their meals. The spud strategy was ultimately for naught, though: The Chinese restaurant had been born.
Would anyone have bet the bank on Chinese food back then? According to Chinese Restaurant News, there are now more Chinese restaurants in America than there are McDonald's franchises—nearly three times as many in fact. In the 19th century, though, the Chinese were scorned as rat-eaters; nothing could have been more revolting than eating what they ate. An 1877 magazine cartoon titled "Uncle Sam's Thanksgiving Dinner" shows various immigrants contentedly enjoying their respective national dishes —a Frenchman, for example, tucks into his frogs—while an officious African-American manservant conveys a turkey to Uncle Sam. All is harmony, right down to a Native Indian who, unable to abide a chair, squats peaceably beside his fellow guests. Only one personage draws horror from the other diners—the Chinaman, about to eat a rodent.
Yet despite this prejudice, and despite the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, which categorically barred further Chinese immigration, Chinese restaurateurs strove to make a place for themselves. With trepidation: Chinese food was often embedded in the familiar. For example, one early menu lists "Grilled Dinner Steak Hollandaise" and "Roast California Chicken with Currant Jelly," with "Fine Cut Chicken Chop Suey" presented as just another option. As if to counter stereotypes, early interiors featured stunningly sophisticated wood-carving; early images, too, include a surprising number of tuxedos. Observes show curator Cynthia Ai-Fen Lee, "It's as if the owners are trying to say, It's OK. Don't be scared." And indeed, the phrase "Try it" recurs hypnotically throughout the exhibit. Still, despite the best efforts of the restaurateurs, something disreputable remained, not only about Chinese food, but about people who ate it. In 1903 the New York Times described the Chinatown clientele: "It is the men and women who like to eat after everybody else is abed that pour shekels into the coffers of the man who knows how to make chop suey."
Shekels. What an interesting currency to have gratuitously cited. And yet how unwittingly prescient the writer turned out to be, by mid-century: One of my favorite parts of this exhibit is the wonderful collection of kosher Chinese menus from New York restaurants, sporting names like "Glatt Wok" and "Shang-chai," and serving dishes like Matzoh Foo Young. Lee speculates that East European Jews, themselves marginalized, flocked to Chinese restaurants as a way of forging a new, modern, identity—as a way of becoming American. Not that things "Chinese" were generally recognized as American; it took outsiders to see the obvious. Visiting Chinese anthropologist Fei Xiaotong, for example, was amused and amazed by a restaurant he visited in the early 1940s. "It was called a Chinese restaurant," he wrote, "but ... nothing made me feel the slightest at home."
After the Second World War, mainstream Americans, too, began to see the Americanness—eureka!—of some "Chinese." And Chinese Americans celebrated this: On a menu from the 1950s, a man smilingly paints characters on his "Chinese Easter Eggs." By this point, though, Chinese restaurants were about more than East Meets West. They were sites where not only Chineseness but ethnicity in general was made and made fun of. Fei Xiaotong noted how, "Looking up from the table, I saw right in front of us a troupe of half-naked women doing Spanish dances. ... Suddenly the dancing stopped and, to the same kind of 'music,' a young woman whom one would guess to be Cuban came on ... various cultures of different origins came helter-skelter together ..." Concoctions like Mani-shaigetz Cocktails—half Manischewitz wine and half Christian Brothers brandy—were served.
But of course "China" and "Chinese" food remained the focus. Menus gave history lessons and told origin stories—explaining the beginnings of chop suey, or the fortune cookie, or takeout. And in the 1960s, they spoofed "Chineseness," too—citing Confucius freely and frequently and warning things like, "We take care special banquet dinnas but can only takee limit numbers. First comes first serve, you please placee order early for no disappoint."
Chinatown was not the only purveyor of "Chineseness" in the 1960s. In 1967, the Ideal Toy Company brought out a Chop Suey board game, which involved picking things up with chopsticks. ("You don't have to be Chinese to play the Chop Suey game!") Companies like Chung King and La Choy likewise encouraged housewives to "cook Chinese" with cheerfully proffered, sanitized products; visitors to the exhibit should not miss the exuberantly un-PC commercials on CD—click to listen to one here — or the numerous "how-to" pamphlets with their inspired recommendations: "Either boiled or broiled, frankfurters dipped in Shou-you sauce make excellent sandwiches," for example. The "Try it!" that so often punctuates these entries has a distinctly new, profit-oriented tone—the all-American tone of a toothpaste ad.
Happily, change was on its way. The 1965 liberalization of immigration laws brought new arrivals and new food, from Sichuan and Hunan and Shanghai. Multiculturalism and Nixon's visit to China in 1972, meanwhile, inspired an "authenticity revolution"—a transformation further fueled by a changing clientele. Charles Lai, the director of the museum, recalls wandering into a Chinatown restaurant as a boy in the '60s and realizing that everyone else in the place was white. "I felt like, what am I doing here?" he says. But no more: Today, Chinese and Chinese Americans are important customers, as are other Asians and Asian Americans, and some restaurants are once again catering to newly arrived workers. How "authentic" they are, though, depends on how you define "authentic." "It is and isn't a return to the way things were at the beginning," says Lee. She points out that with globalization, food is changing quickly even in Asia; what constitutes Chinese food is evolving.
The epic kitsch of the exhibit is balanced by touching recollections, on video and in notebooks, of what it was like to work and grow up in Chinese restaurants, both in America and abroad. I loved the many humble, vivid accounts and encourage others to take these in, as one may, sitting atop rice-sack-cushioned stools. While resting there, one might also appreciate the beauty and intelligence of the exhibit and the absence of cliché. There is no red; there are no lanterns or fortune cookies. Here, in the heart of Chinatown, in a kitsch-filled room, one finds, happily, kitsch-free thought.
