"Israel: Songs from the Holy Land"
Music Voyager host Jacob Edgar travels to Jerusalem and northern Israel to discover the sights and sounds of a region rich with ancient history and religious significance. Israel is a land of contrasts and conflicts: between tradition and modernity, war and peace, spirituality and secularism. The popular band Hadag Nahash blends hip-hop, funk and soul with politically expedient Hebrew lyrics to draw attention to the complex issues facing Israeli society. D

Grateful Dead
Road Trips Vol. 4 No. 5
Road Trips Series Ends with Boston '76
1976 was a pivotal year for the Grateful Dead. After an 18-month hiatus that saw just four Bay Area appearances by the band, but also a phenomenal studio album, Blues for Allah, and a slew of solo projects, the Dead returned to the road at the beginning of June '76. Mickey Hart was officially back in the fold after a long absence, and the band came back with a batch of new songs and fresh approaches to playing their old ones. It was the summer of America's much-ballyhooed bicentennial, the country was still going through Watergate withdrawal, and we needed our Grateful Dead back!
During their time away, the Dead radically simplified their stage setup. They put their remarkable (but cumbersome) Wall of Sound P.A. out to pasture, in favor of a more conventional (but still great) system. And, as a treat to their fans, they booked their entire first post-hiatus tour into acoustically solid small theaters, eschewing the large arenas that their snowballing popularity and their massive sound system had forced them into. They hit the road well-rehearsed and refreshed; clearly thrilled to be out there playing Grateful Dead music onstage again. And we were, needless to say, psyched to be seeing them again!
This latest—and last—edition of our Road Trips series (more on that in a moment), ingeniously labeled Vol. 4 No. 5, was drawn from two shows early on what was dubbed by many Heads at the time as the Dead's "comeback" tour. It contains the truly awe-inspiring complete June 9, 1976 Boston Music Hall show (just the third of the tour, but you'd never guess that), and also a handful of hot tracks from the June 12 show at the same venue. The 6/9 show has long been a personal favorite, so I'm really delighted that it is finally being released! It's definitely one of the strongest of '76.
The first set includes stand-out versions of then-new songs such as "Crazy Fingers" and "The Music Never Stopped," just the third version of "Cassidy," a neatly jammed "Scarlet Begonias" and a potent "Ship of Fools," among other gems. The second set opens with a long, circuitous "St. Stephen" (the first in five years!), then goes into a tremendous "Eyes," followed by "Let It Grow," which was now independent of the first two parts of "Weather Report Suite." "Samson and Delilah" and "Lazy Lightning" > "Supplication" were brand-new to the Dead repertoire, while the bevy of rearranged songs included "High Time" and the famous disco-influenced "Dancing in the Street." The encore was another recent one: "Franklin's Tower" (which would never be played in that slot again). For a band that hadn't played together in eons, the Dead sound remarkably self-assured and on-the-ball throughout. The 6/12/76 songs include one of only five versions of "Mission in the Rain" the Dead played, "The Wheel" (a few years old, but new to the stage), the revived "Comes a Time" (last played in '72) and a "Sugar Mag" sandwich with a great "U.S. Blues" as the meaty filling.
As with all the previous Road Trips releases, this final entry comes with a colorful booklet containing an essay and period photos. And needless to say it has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman. You can find the complete song list for all three discs, as well as ordering information, by clicking here.
So, what's all this talk about the end of Road Trips? Well, we figured that four years and 17 releases was a pretty good run for that series, and now it's time to try something new. Don't worry, there is definitely going to be another release program dedicated to putting out the best material in the vault. We'll be revealing details of the new series very soon, so stay tuned!
— Blair Jackson
A pretty good choice I would say. Looking forward to it. I wonder what's next.
Sad to see Road Trips go. But I am excited about the next series!
This one sounds cool - a nice way to finish the RT series. I wonder what plans they have for the following series. Different packaging hopefully.
I'm pretty pumped about this as I'm a big '76 fan. That Cow Palace bonus disc is always a favorite. Too bad there's no Help>Slip here, but a minor quibble. All-in-all it looks great.
Have you ever noticed how other people's definition of "very soon" never matches your own, especially when you are eager for "very soon" to be NOW! ? :)
The next (and last) RT sounds great!
That I could have seen, but didn't (long story)...but the end of the RT series. Don't be hinting at us about what's next, guys, spill!
I like 76. I like this show. I like this release.
What I like most about this release is that, given this is a two track 76 release and not from the Orpheum run, those in control of such things MUST be holding back the Orpheum run for the whole run box set treatment.
That is a release that I am most sincerely looking forward to!
Is this release included in the 2011 Road Trips subscription?
In the summer of 1976, I heard my first dead show- 6/12. It was recorded from the radio, and my neighbor turned me on to it. I was instantly hooked, and for the next several decades I could not get enough of this band. The Boston '76 run is one of the best reflections of musical talent ever recorded. Well done folks.
Nice choice. We look forward to the next series with anticipation!

When it comes to the business of food, there's a rivalry around every corner. You've got fights for prime farmland, wars over water use, even buying food at the grocery store has its competition with household bills encroaching on family budgets for the shopping list.
In Missouri, more than 56,000 kids qualify for the Buddy Pack Program. It's a program that sends a backpack of nutritious food home with students from low-income families every weekend. This past year, though, the program's taken a big hit thanks to sky-high gas and food prices and the loss of a major donor. KBIA's Erin Dismeier checked in to see how communities are responding to this setback.
In another food fight, we have farmers versus weeds. In this clash the farmers seem to have had the advantage thanks to the herbicide roundup. But, now weeds are beginning to catch up, and farmers are using more chemicals to try to stay ahead. Grant Gerlock of Harvest Public Media reports on how Roundup-resistant weeds are changing the game.

Back in the game for Yarbrough
Marine Sgt. Josh Yarbrough was surprised yet again by friends and family Wednesday, Dec. 5 when he was presented a check for some new golf gear at Games People Play on College Street in Beaumont.
Family friend Terry Sonier presented Yarbrough with a check for more than $1,100 plus a $500 donation from Games People Play's pro golf shop. The golf shop also gave Yarbrough two new sets of Calloway golf clubs, one for Yarbrough and another for Yarbrough's 6-year-old son.
Wheeling in and out of high-dollar golf clubs and accessories, Yarbrough said he was excited and very grateful to get back into a game he loves after losing both legs in an IED blast in Afghanistan in June 2011.
"Calloway is my favorite brand, so I'm kinda excited about it," the Marine said.
Although he played golf before joining the military, Yarbrough was skeptical of his current golf game.
"Yea, I'm not very good," he said. "But I try hard."
Yarbrough said he's looking forward to getting on the course and taking instructions from Games People Play's PGA professional Kurt Picard — as soon as his new custom fitted, carbon fiber legs arrive late this week.
"We're gonna go over stance, we're gonna go over ball position. Ya know, with Josh he looks real strong," said Picard, who has instructed at least one amputee in his career. "I'm gonna get him to turn and work on his balance. He's gonna be good, I think, once we get him learning about his swing path to help with his balance and using his body the way he's able to use it now."
Both Yarbrough's legs were removed below the knee.
Yarbrough said he's still adjusting to life in the states after being injured.
"I think once I got hurt, it was more about what I can't do instead of what I can do," he said. "And going through that list and checking off things that I thought I couldn't do, but I can. So that's a good thing to get back into and do it (golf)."
Yarbrough said although he'll never play football again — his favorite sport — golf will more than suffice. After getting past the initial shock of losing his legs, Yarbrough said he tries to see only the positives after being hospitalized with fellow soldiers in much worse shape.
"Some things will just never be the same," he said. "But you just try to get as close to it as you can and be glad you can do that because I've seen a lot of people that are a lot worse off than me, that are hurt a lot worse than I am. I have a lot to be thankful for because people look at this and say, 'Oh that sucks, that's bad' but it's really not compared to what some other guys have gone through and are still going through."

Thanks for checking out my project. This is my fourth Bake Shop post and I couldn't be more excited. What an honor to be part of this talented group of designers.
In addition to designing patterns for bags, quilts, runners, and wool felt projects, I also own Prairie Point Junction quilt shop in Cozad, Nebraska. Be sure to stop by and visit us if you happen to be traveling across Nebraska. You can find us online at http://www.prairiepointjunction.com/ or on my Prairie Ramblings blog at http://www.woolfeltcentral.blogspot.com/.
This handy little bag is perfect for transporting clothes to and from the gym – or especially for kids to take gym clothes back and forth between home and school. It is lined with PUL, a water resistant fabric, to keep the rest of the things you're carrying along all nice and tidy. The bag also works great for wet swimsuits!
I've tried to make the tutorial pretty detailed so that even a novice sewer can accomplish this project with great success. Don't let the zipper scare you away – I'll show you just how easy it is.
Happy sewing,
- 1 Fandango Charm Pack (will need at least 21 charms)
- 1/2 yard Fandango (27050-11) for bag top and handles
- 1/2 yard PUL – water resistant fabric
- 14″ zipper
- 505 Temporary Basting Spray
- thread to match fabric for bag top and handles
(2) 5″ x 14 1/2″ pieces for bag facing
Join three rows together to form the bag front. Then join three rows together for the back of the bag. Remember how you carefully pressed the seams in each row in opposite directions? That's going to come in handy now. Your seams should just nest right beside each other to help you perfectly line up where seams intersect. I find that I don't usually even have to pin the seam at this point since everything matches so nicely. But that's just me – feel free to pin if you like.
Press the seams for the bag front up – and the seams on the bag back down. That will help the seams nest when you join the sides together later.
Whew, now it's starting to look a little more like something, right?
Prepare the handles for the bag. Fold the 3″ x 36″ rectangle in half lengthwise with the wrong sides together. Press.
Open the strip and bring the raw edges together to meet at the center fold. Press.
Fold strip in half lengthwise again and press.
Topstitch close to both sides of the handle.
Place raw ends of handle along the top edge of the bag front. Position the edge of handle along the seam between the 2nd and 3rd rectangle in the top row. See the picture below for placement suggestion. Be sure that your handle lays flat and doesn't have any twists in it from one side to the other. Baste the handle in place. Repeat on the bag back.
Sew the 4 1/2″ x 14 1/2″ bag top section to the pieced bag bottom, catching the raw edge of the handle in the seam. Be sure to keep the loop of the handle out of the way of your stitching.
The slick side of the PUL is the right side, the knit side of the PUL is the wrong side.
Be sure to keep any pins within the seam allowance of the PUL fabric to avoid piercing the fabric and compromising the water resistant nature of the fabric.
Do NOT directly iron the PUL fabric. It can melt and cause a huge mess.
Sew with PUL fabric on the bottom layer, when possible.
When sewing with two layers of PUL, it may be helpful to place a layer of tissue paper on top of the PUL fabric.
Lengthen stitches slightly and use a walking foot, if available.
The next steps will prepare the zipper. A zipper – EEEK – you say? No worries, this zipper method is easy peasy. You'll wonder why you've never done a zipper before.
Prepare a tab for the zipper ends. This will be just like making a "binding" for the end of the zipper. It does away with all that funky little bulky business of the zipper stop that can create tons of problems for the zipper-phobic crowd.
We're going to follow the same basic steps that we used for the handle above. First fold the 1 1/2″ x 4″ fabric for the zipper tab in half lenthwise with the wrong sides together. Press
Now, unfold the strip, and fold the raw edges in to meet at the center crease. Press.
Now, fold one more time and press.
Grab your zipper. Open it just a few inches. Sew the ends of the zipper together so they'll stay where you want them later. (Sorry I changed zipper colors on you for a few pictures. I got a little carried away sewing and forgot to take pictures, so had to back-track.)
Trim off the zipper stop at the end of the zipper.
Cut the zipper down to 13 1/2″. Tuck the raw end of the zipper into the remainder of the binding strip. Topstitch along edge of binding strip. Trim binding strip even with edges of zipper.
Position the zipper right sides down on the bag front, centering along the width. The zipper should be 1/2″ shorter on each side than the width of the bag. That's O.K.! This will accomodate for the width of the seam allowance and a little bit of extra bulk to boot.
Carefully pin the zipper to the bag, making sure to keep any pins within the 1/4″ seam allowance so that you don't puncture the PUL.
Layer the raw edge of the facing piece right sides together with the bag front, catching the zipper between the layers. Sew facing to bag using a 1/4″ seam allowance. I find it easiest to sew from the wrong side of the outer bag. That way I can see where my basting stitches were and can make sure that I am sewing a deep enough seam to encase them.

hi there,
i dont know if i would express myself properly but will try.
today i read one post:
making ur ip not visible on the net.
Like manmy many post we have come accross with same question all over again on a daily basis.
Response goes from welcome to antionline to dig a hole in a garden and put your pc there forever.
I do understand frustaration of your senior guys with this type of questions, especially with links to newbie questions and tons of information and answers we can find here.
i do believe that most of us are lazy and its easier to type problem then go and look byourself.
i tried for this particular request to search on site right hand corner search for, and in advance search typing -hidding ip address and i didnt go far.
maybe its difficult for newbies to find this information on this site.
(i believe thats easier then to do your first post).
reading answers in some of post like this gets embarising.If you senior guys are sick of same requests (including myself) please dont give any answers. There are lot of guys who do repeat answers and are always helpful even i dont have any doubt they are frustrated with it.
But from my personal view if i can help with anything newbies i feel good and i believe they feel much more welcome on site instead telling them on first post they are idiots because they cant find answer on this site or anywhere else bythemself.
sry my little 2 cents input but now is somekind of sugestions:
is it possible when somone type this generic newbie quesions or similar questions that they get automaticlly redirected to that page-with irrelevant answers or same topics or similar posts?
Is it possible on first pagelike where we have downloads and then in red new downloads so it grabs your attention straight away to have something like that for newbies in red or liitle red square box on first page which hits you strightaway in face when you come to page so they can go there first.
i think it will save lot of times for you guys and you will be less pissed of with people which for some reason or the other are not experts in this field or its not part of their job like yours in most cases(yes there are some people who use pc as hobbie,entertainment,passtime or whatever and is not their job)Knowlage of this people including myself in IT is very limited and thats why we come here at the first place.
I think if is possible to do what a mentioned before and maybe this post will incurage more suggestions as it is obvious we do have a little problem there.
thanks guys and keep a fanstastik work you do i personaly do appriciate it thats for sure .thanks
(going to buy helmet and armour suit dont hit me too hard-thats joke

Cold Air for Northwest
Cold dry air is expected to cover most of the northwest over the next several days. That means not much more new snow for a while, but colder temperatures are coming, with single digit lows for a lot of Eastern Washington over the next few nights. We'll also need to stay on the lookout for air stagnation problems.

SOURCE: Mentor Graphics Corporation
September 21, 2010 09:00 ET
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - September 21, 2010) - EMBEDDED SYSTEMS CONFERENCE -- Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the Mentor® Embedded ReadyStart™ Platform, a "ready-to-use" solution comprising integrated software IP, tools, and services targeting popular hardware boards and system-on-chips (SoCs).
Developed for applications where small footprint, high-performance, and low power matter, the ReadyStart Platform provides developers with ready-to-use demonstrations and configurations that shorten the time to develop medical, industrial, automotive and consumer devices -- in many cases from days to minutes.
The ReadyStart Platform tightly integrates the Mentor Graphics® Nucleus® Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) with the Inflexion Platform™ user interface (UI) runtime engine for 2D and 3D graphics and wired and wireless connectivity middleware. The ReadyStart Platform provides a single distribution to accelerate fast "bring-up" of a complete system, including a new board support package (BSP) interface and power management services to optimize low-power design.
"The announcement of Mentor's ReadyStart product is an ideal complement to the Atmel ARM-based family of devices since our mutual customers are seeking an integrated hardware-software platform that addresses power management and embedded graphics capabilities in addition to traditional stacks for communication interfaces like USB and Ethernet," said Jacko Wilbrink, Atmel marketing director of ARM-based products. "Our customers who are developing smart home metering, industrial automation, medical, white good control panel, and secure terminal applications will realize product development and cost savings in using the 'off-the-shelf' ReadyStart solution."
"Mentor's ReadyStart Platform contains everything required to quickly develop a device, including Mentor's Inflexion runtime engine for UI development, which is a critical component for our mutual customers," said Jason Kridner, software architecture manager, the ARM® MPU business unit, Texas Instruments. "The ReadyStart BSP interface capability provides rapid and optimized device configuration for applications using the Sitara family of ARM-based, high-performance, low-power microprocessors."
New Configure Methodology and Build System
The Mentor Embedded ReadyStart Platform consists of a single unified source tree containing all Nucleus components and a "make-based build and configuration system," that allows developers to add or delete build components easily. Developers can now set up their target environment for faster application development. What might take a day in bring-up for an average target application can be done in as little as 15 minutes using the ReadyStart Platform.
For example, configuration files are included with the distribution, along with BSP configuration, separate from the operating system for reusability. The BSP framework also includes a built-in power awareness feature used to manage device power via a standardized set of APIs, critical for improved battery life and standards compliance, such as ENERGY STAR®.
"We recognize the increasing challenges software developers face regarding power management, multi-core/multi-OS architectures, and delivering differentiated end-products that are rich in functionality, at critical speed," said Shay Benchorin, director of marketing, Mentor Graphics Embedded Software Division. "ReadyStart provides a comprehensive development platform that is a true build system with many of the essential components in place to accelerate device development."
To help ReadyStart Platform users, a "Getting Started" services program for embedded developers unfamiliar with the Nucleus OS, tailored to specific design needs, is offered, which includes an array of additional services such as power optimization, device architecture, and turnkey device development.
For multi-OS on multi-core applications, Mentor provides a ReadyStart Platform which includes Android, Nucleus, Inflexion, middleware, and MCAPI-compliant inter-OS communication. The ReadyStart Multi-OS Platform currently supports the Freescale P1022 dual-core SoC, recently demonstrated at the Freescale Technology Forum Orlando, and is now available through Mentor Embedded Services.
Pricing and Availability
The ReadyStart Platform for Nucleus is listed at $24,995 and includes the Nucleus RTOS, wired and wireless connectivity middleware, and Inflexion UI runtime engine for a single project with two developer seats. Tools such as the EDGE™ Debugger and the Inflexion UI Express are provided for evaluation and available for purchase on a per-seat basis. A JTAG probe solution is also available. The ReadyStart Platform for Nucleus currently supports SoCs and boards from Atmel and Texas Instruments, with future support for Freescale, Marvell, and other semiconductor vendors.
For more information on the ReadyStart Platform for Nucleus and the ReadyStart Platform for Multi-OS, go to www.mentor.com/go/readystart.
Technology to be Demonstrated at ESC Boston 2010
The Mentor Embedded ReadyStart Platform for Nucleus will be demonstrated at ESC Boston, September 21-22, 2010 in the ARM Connected Community Pavilion #601. A technical session called System Design by Description, Configuration and Adaptation, which discusses the technology behind the platform, will also be presented by Mentor Graphics and Texas Instruments at the conference on Tuesday, September 21 at 2:00 P.M.

DUE WEST, S.C. – The King University women's soccer team took to the road on Wednesday night to face Erskine College, and the Tornado pushed their unbeaten streak for four matches. The Tornado got a late first half goal from Rachel Thorpe, and added a pair of goals in the second half to take the 3-0 win.
The Flying Fleet (1-9, 1-2 CC) had the first scoring chances of the game as both came in the first 10 minutes. In the eighth minute, Hayley Rogers took a header that was saved by King's goalkeeper Morgan Lawson. Erskine's Jamie Morris had a chance in the 10th minute, but her shot was turned away by Lawson as play moved to the other end of the field.
Thorpe had a pair of shots saved in the 23rd and 27th minutes, and Shalisa Barnett that was turned away just two minutes later as the match remained scoreless. The duo had two more shots saved in the 36th minute before Thorpe finally broke through in the 40th minute. The sophomore took a through ball from Devon Shanklin and ripped her shot into the near corner of the net to put King (3-6-2, 1-1-2 CC) on top 1-0.
The score remained the same at halftime, and the Tornado continued to pressure the Erskine defense. The pressure paid off in the 70th minute as Keely Easterling netted her second goal in as many games. She took a pass from Paula Doran in the middle of the box and laced her shot into the back of the net.
Cassie Garland added an insurance goal in the 90th minute. Easterling played a cross, and Garland headed the ball over the keeper for her first career goal to give King the 3-0 victory.
The Tornado outshot the Flying Fleet 22-7 while King took five corner kicks to Erskine's three.
"Great overall team performance tonight, I am delighted with the win, and the first Conference Carolinas win of the season," head coach Simon Duffy said. "We scored three well deserved goals, to remain unbeaten in our last four games. We are looking forward to our home game with Lees-McRae College on Saturday."
The Tornado will be in action again on Saturday when they host Lees-McRae at 1:00 p.m., at Parks Field. King will be taking donations for the Susan G. Komen Foundation at their annual Kick for the Cure game. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the contest.

I've been debating about whether to ask this question or not, and I finally decided that I had nothing to lose.
I have a decent working knowledge of what, physically, a network is. What I am having trouble with is finding an analogy that would make it easier to understand just how far networking goes.
The only idea that I had was that of a similar analogy about electricity (electricity = water).
Where the actual network is like a waterway, and unsecured ports (etc) would be things like faucets.
Does that work, or in other words, would that be a good assessment of how a network actually functions?

Idea of closing West High weighs on Manchester officialsBy SHAWNE K. WICKHAM
New Hampshire Sunday News
February 23. 2013 10:15PM
MANCHESTER - The decision to close a beloved school, much like a parish church, is fraught with emotion and weighty with tradition.
So it's not surprising that the most passionate opposition to any suggestion to close Manchester High School West comes from school board members who are alumni.
Still, even West's staunchest defenders say they are open to consolidating the city's high school population at Central and Memorial if - and only if - that means turning West into a magnet or charter school. Such a school might focus on the performing arts, for instance, or on STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education.
"I think that would be great," said Jason Cooper, who represents Ward 11. "I wouldn't mind seeing that at all."
Cooper, a 1988 graduate of West High, opposes closing the school. "Just shuttering the doors? That's a no-no," he said. "There's a lot of history and tradition there."
But he said he also understands the financial arguments for change. "If we have a dwindling school population, things need to be figured out."
Any proposal to close West, as far as Ward 12's Roger Beauchamp is concerned, is "dead on arrival."
"As long as I'm on the school board, I would certainly not recommend the closure of West High School," said Beauchamp, West High Class of 1984. "There's too much pride and honor there for me to agree to something like that."
Beauchamp would be open to turning West into an alternative school that would draw tuition students from other communities. But he stressed, "I'm certainly opposed to having it closed and mothballed."
John Avard, Ward 10, who graduated from West in 1986, said he is open to exploring the "academy" model for the school, such as expanding the Naval Junior ROTC curriculum, or creating a performing arts academy.
He also favors redistricting to create an area on the east side of the Merrimack River as a sending area for West. But any proposal has to be designed to benefit the students, he said.
"Show me a plan that will make it better for the students, giving students more opportunities and enhancing their educational experience, I'm going to be all over that."
There's just one thing Avard is not willing to consider: closing West. "Absolutely no way," he said. "Not a chance."
Sarah Ambrogi, Ward 1, pointed out the redistricting report from outgoing school Superintendent Thomas Brennan Jr. does not recommend closing West. Instead, it says, consolidation "would allow for the introduction of a new educational model" at West, such as a charter, magnet or academy school.
"I don't think anybody ... is proposing closing West High School," said Ambrogi, who went to high school in Connecticut. "What we're really trying to do is figure out what makes the most sense."
The curriculum and instruction committee is also looking at a 2007 report on the "Future of West." Prepared by a school subcommittee, it proposed reconfiguring West into separate areas for Grades 7-8 and 9-12.
Nothing was ever done with that report, Ambrogi said. "So I think we're looking at this as an opportunity to go back and revisit good ideas that have come up before," she said.
Christopher Stewart, Ward 3, said he has not ruled out closing West. He said citywide enrollment has dropped by about 2,000 students in the past decade.
And the issue will become even more imperative once Manchester School of Technology (MST) is operating as a full four-year high school, he said. "The question is, does a school district with only 15,500 kids need four high schools?"
Stewart did not attend high school in Manchester, but said he understands the "huge pride around West." Still, he said, "As a school board member, my job is to look at things from 30,000 feet and move where the data take me."
And if Hooksett and Candia take their high-schoolers out of the city, he said, "it changes the dynamic drastically."
Roy Shoults, Ward 4, said closing West may become the only option, given the city's tax cap and threats from sending towns to pull out of their contracts. A native New Yorker who moved to New Hampshire after he retired nearly 15 years ago, he said he understands how emotional it is to consider closing a school.
But he said, "The citizens of Manchester voted for a tax cap, which reduces the money to the schools. Schools have to do something, and nobody wants any of the things that need to be done to make up for the money."
If there isn't enough money to operate all four high schools, Shoults said, "then you close one of them, and West would be the one you close."
Arthur Beaudry, Ward 9, said within a few years, MST is projected to have 800 students, which will mean fewer students at the other schools. "At some point in time, we are going to have to face the fact that we can't have four high schools in the city," he said.
And at that point, he said, "We're going to have to have a plan of what to do, and West makes the most sense."
Beaudry, who went to high school in Massachusetts, said he would consider closing the school. "It's going to have to be mindful of the residents on that side and the students on that side, but we also have to be mindful of all the taxpayers."
Debra Gagnon Langton, Ward 2, said it's not practical to consider closing West. She noted there are only 83 students in MST's freshman class. "The number of high school students in our city does not lend itself to two high schools," said Langton, a 1979 West graduate. "I think our high schools are overcrowded as it stands."
Still, she said she's "willing to listen" to proposals to turn West into a magnet school.
Brennan's redistricting report does not recommend any adjustments to the high schools for the 2013-14 school year, but suggests having a plan for 2014-15. And that means whoever replaces him is going to have to deal with redistricting early on.
"This is going to fall directly into the lap of the new superintendent," said Stewart. And he or she, he predicts, "is going to have his or her hands full."

LED Makers Shifting Focus from Efficacy to Manufacturing Efficiency for Mass-Market Leap
By Paula Doe, SEMI Emerging & Adjacent Markets
At $10, long life and low energy use make LED lighting costs compelling for the consumer. Despite major recent progress, however, current prices are closer to $40.
"Improvements in device efficacy have been driving big improvements in lumens per dollar, but that's getting close to the theoretical maximum— there's not room to double it again, but costs still need to come down much more than that. So that means it's now all about manufacturing efficiency— things like designing devices that are easy to manufacture, and improving cost of ownership of equipment," says Bryan Bolt, Cascade Microtech's director of technology development, systems." Better wafer-level testing is one area that can have a big impact on reducing costs by avoiding the high cost of packaging for bad die. Also key will be bringing traceability to test, for tracking defects back to root causes. But for test suppliers to deliver traceability, the sector will need to come to some degree of consistency in operating conditions and performance parameters from the wide range of different probers, spectrometers, integrating spheres and software now put together in different combinations by individual LED makers.
Better measurement of process conditions can also improve yields. Veeco Instruments Chief Technologist Bill Quinn reports that test results using the near UV pyrometer developed with Sandia National Lab to monitor the temperature of the transparent and often warped sapphire wafer directly during epitaxial deposition, instead of just the temperature in the pocket in which it sits, are showing potential to improve yields even in a well-controlled manufacturing environment. With each 2°C temperature variation in deposition resulting in a 4nm drift in device-emitted wave length, the ability to measure temperature and eventually go to model-based temperature control as in the semiconductor industry could significantly improve yields within the desired 2nm wavelength bins.

Better ways of doing more to prepare the substrate before epi growth also have potential. The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded Veeco a $4 million research matching funds grant towards developing a PVD process for growing AlN buffer layers— on either silicon or sapphire. Eliminating this first MOCVD step with this engineered substrate approach could potentially cut out an hour of MOCVD growth time, for a 20% or so increase in throughput. Veeco will work with crystalline nitride materials supplier Kyma Technologies.
Another option for improvement is in the handling of the delicate wafers after laser liftoff, in making vertical structures and in transferring the epi layer from the sapphire to a thermally conductive substrate, notes Ram Trichur, director of the LED/energy business unit at Brewer Science. That requires a solution for temporary bonding the device wafer to a carrier substrate so it survives handling and processing without damage. Debonding choices range from chemical release for low-volume applications to semi-automated and automated processes for medium- or high-volume applications that can bond and debond down to 50µm wafers with low mechanical and thermal stress.
Another option for lower-cost ways to make patterned sapphire substrates is to use common proximity printers instead of projection lithography. SUSS Microtec suggests the 1-2µm feature-size hexagonal pattern etch layer can be printed on sapphire using 3-4µm AZ photo resist and improved mask aligner exposure optics.
Speakers from Cascade Microtech, Veeco Instruments, Brewer Science, and SUSS Microtec will join other experts— from Philips Lumileds, Cree, UC Santa Barbara, KLA-Tencor, Dow Electronic Materials, Redwood Systems, Yole Développement, Fraunhofer IZM, Intematix and NNCrystal— to discuss recent progress and next issues in LED manufacturing technology at the session on "More Lumens per Dollar: Issues and Answers to Bring Costs Down to Create a General Lighting Market," at SEMICON West July 13.

Earlier this week I read a post from David Driscoll of K&L Wine and Spirits, an excellent California based retail store. I've frequently mentioned K&L and David because they are an example to what I feel wine and spirits stores need to aspire towards. They educate buyers regardless of the price or producer, bring unique products to attention, and really just make sure K&L is a resource for it's loyal customers.
The premise of David's post was the fact that the spirit and whiskey industry is complicated. We get caught up in this notion of "small batch" and "craft" and really – what is that? I've had the pleasure of emailing back and forth with David over various topics. He's taught me a great deal about a number of artisan producers – their passion for just simply producing great stuff regardless of volume (or perhaps even profit), and also their relentless pursuit of the best raw materials. We've also had some interesting disagreements on a number of subjects. However his post last week titled "It's Complicated" encompasses a lot of my thoughts about the world of whiskey today.
I urge you to read this if you are in any way "black or white" on craft/micro producers vs. the big boys. David discusses his recent visit from a passionate Grand Marnier representative. Apparently dreading the session, David was immediately engulfed by the guys passion upon hearing him speak (watch the video K&L's blog a few posts down). I got to thinking about that and I believe the same is true for many of the big boys of bourbon and American whiskey.
The world is shades of gray folks. It's so common for people to approach both with preconceived notions and opinions that can many times be changed if you are open to it.
Last Spring at WhiskyFest 2011 in Chicago I talked to Kris Comstock of Buffalo Trace in the Hyatt Regency Hotel Lobby. I think we all may share a feeling that Buffalo Trace is a "big boy". It was so interesting to hear Kris talk about his desire to finally get BT's flagship bourbon into all 50 states, and just how small their production really is. It's clear the passion and care Kris takes in BT's products. Ask Jim Rutledge of Four Roses where he gets the distillery's corn and rye. But be prepared to spend 10-15 minutes learning just how critical Jim feels his relationships with the absolute best farmers in the country (or internationally for Rye) are to his finished product. To make assumptions that these guys are using lesser ingredients because they are bigger is very uninformed. To make assumptions they care less simply because they produce tens of thousands of barrels per year is an even bigger mistake.
On the flip side, you have micro distillers like Rick Wasmund of Copper Fox distillery going to the time and expense of floor malting barley at the distillery's Sperryville, VA location. My numbers may not be exact but I believe there's less than a half dozen distilleries in Scotland that are floor malting today. Rick knows it costs more, but he doesn't care – he does it because it makes his product better. Head out to High West in Park City, Utah and talk to David Perkins about the lengths he went through to perfect his new OMG Rye. Having tasted a number of iterations, I know the care and time and energy High West put in to making sure it was EXACTLY the way they wanted. Spend a day with St. George Spirits in Alameda, CA, and if you aren't excited about the state of their whiskey program then you are deader than a door nail.
The point is exactly as David Driscoll eloquently stated – It's Complicated. We screw it all up when we make ourselves choose between the little guys and the big guys. Why in the hell do we do that? Why let romantic notions of the little guy sway our opinions of the bigger companies without facts. Why stay with the "old brand" just because we *think* those little guys can't possibly be as good because they are not as established.
My suggestion is simple. If you find yourself in only one camp, do some research and try a few products across the aisle and see what you think. At worse you expand your whiskey palate. At best you may just find something you'll love.
Drink your Whiskey!

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Outsourcing, downsizing, and streamlining
By Sam Bari
|The number of companies that are streamlining their operations by outsourcing labor to third world countries and downsizing facilities at home is alarming. Anything manufactured in America is practically a collector's item.
I knew things were not as they should be when, less than a mile from my house, I purchased an American flag that was made in a South American country. I think I saw people from the same country burning one in the news. The experience was disturbing.
As far as I can tell, the only industries that have been unscathed are word-related businesses. Outsourcing has yet to affect newspapers and other media. The legal business also appears to be surviving nicely. Attorneys are rarely at a loss for words, and I doubt that will change in the near future.
However, we still have cause for concern, particularly when considering the mindset of big business. "Tease them with something free, then fleece them when they want the real thing," appears to be a tidy summation of the latest consumer related business policy.
We will know that summation applies to the word industry when 28-page weekly newspapers are reduced to four pages. That is the first clue that a paper has bit the dust and joined the ranks of the streamlined, downsized and outsourced. Each page will be written in a different language and all will say the same thing, so the paper will really be reduced to only one page.
The page that is allegedly written in English will actually just resemble English, but not closely, certainly not as we understand it to be spoken or read. Each page will consist of a list of headlines - nothing more. No stories, no editorial text, not even the advertisements will offer more than a single line of copy.
The headlines will be designed to tease the reader. "Is your job next to be outsourced?" could be one of them. The next line will read: "For the complete story go to www.(insert Web address here). com, or call a 1-800 number.
A headline like that could frighten most people. That is the intent. Of course readers are going to call or visit the Web site. They're not stupid. The callers will hear an automated voice that says: "Since you are too lame to have Internet access, give us your credit card number and we will charge $36 to your account for a one-year subscription mailed to your house, unless you are too cheap to buy the subscription and only want a copy of this edition. In that case, give us your credit card number and we will charge $7.99 to your account and you will receive it after it passes through customs in about three months. Something similar will be on the Web site, only the service will be slightly faster.
Advertisements could read something like: "Giant sale at Mack's Market. Join Mack's Club at our Web site for details or call 1-800, etc." If you want to know what's on sale, you'll have to pay.
Let's go back to the editorial copy for just a minute and see what you can expect from, "Is your job next to be outsourced?" The following is what the outsourced writers in some foreign country would like to say: "Are you worried about losing your job? Have your friends lost their jobs to third world countries? The reason is simple. We work faster and cheaper, and produce a better product than you can make at home."
This is how the article could be written if it is outsourced to the standard foreign countries: "You are worried about the loss of your work? Did your friend lose their works in third worldwide country? The reason is simple. As for us at house. To be fast and a cheaper uses, better product where it is possible to make, is created at times."
Now imagine an entire newspaper written like that. At the end you will read: "Foreign press writers Miguel Sanchez, Abdul al Quasar, Choi Soon Yong, and Baozhai Huang contributed to this report." I find this painfully similar to the instructions I received from the help window on how to troubleshoot my new computer. They are probably very nice people. Unfortunately, English is more than likely their third or fourth language.
Now, try to picture what life will be like if the legal profession is outsourced to questionable destinations. If you're on trial for any infraction of the law that is worse than a traffic ticket you could have serious problems. When it happens, and it most likely will, just add it to the long list that makes up this wonderful system we just can't seem to understand.
