Events & Communications Coordinator, Library Services
Posted: Mar 17, 2011
The final lecture in the Spring 2011 Faculty Lecture Series, Ke Ala Pono: The Path of Justice, will be held in UH Mānoa's Hamilton Library lecture room 301 at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 12. Melody Kapilialoha MacKenzie, associate professor and Director of Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law at the William S. Richardson School of Law, will give the lecture. Admission free and refreshments will provided. The doors open at 3:15 p.m.
The recent decisions of the Hawai'i Supreme Court show a willingness to open the courts to the Native Hawaiian community and to consider long-standing historical claims to lands and natural resources. In this talk, MacKenzie will analyze the most recent decisions by the Court impacting the "ceded" lands trust, the Hawaiian Home Lands trust, and Native Hawaiian traditional and customary rights. She will also examine several cases working their way through the courts that could have a profound effect on the development of Native Hawaiian law.
After receiving her law degree, MacKenzie served as a law clerk to Chief Justice William S. Richardson of the Hawai'i Supreme Court. She then joined the staff of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, a public interest law firm protecting and advancing the rights of Native Hawaiians, and served as NHLC's Executive Director and as a senior staff attorney. MacKenzie is project coordinator and chief editor for the second edition of the Native Hawaiian Rights Handbook, which she originally edited and helped to write, and is a contributor to the 2005 Edition of Felix S. Cohen's Handbook of Federal Indian Law. She has worked on cases asserting Hawaiian traditional and customary rights, dealing with land issues, and defending the constitutionality of Hawaiian programs. MacKenzie teaches Native Hawaiian Rights, the Native Hawaiian Rights Clinic, and Second-Year Seminar.
The Faculty Lecture Series is presented by the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education, the Office of Research Relations, and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library.

Willem Vernon (d. 1570)
Willem (de Snijder) Vernon, an Anabaptist martyr of Hondschote, Belgium, was arrested on 4 May 1570, during a meeting of a congregation held at Tillegem near Bruges, Belgium, with four other brethren, two of whom recanted, but the remaining three were soon burned at the stake. Willem's wife at first escaped but later was caught and executed. The Martyrs' Mirror erroneously gives 1568 as the year of these martyrdoms.
This is the same person as Willem de Snyder (d. 1570)

Yesterday, my friend Jenny invited me over for her huge annual fudge making day! Jenny has been doing this tradition with friends for the past 9 years and I was honored to take part. On the docket for the day was 11 different fudge recipes…some perfected over time, others new experiments added on this year. All of the recipes turned out to be fantastic… I can't wait to re-create them in my own house.
As the newbie to the group, I did a lot more observing (and picture taking) than anything else. I made two of the recipes and then left the rest up to the masters themselves.
I have a traditional cookie baking day with a friend of mine, but I think fudge might be the way to go! It seemed a lot easier and there are so many chocolate fudge recipes out there which means you can have a huge variety at the end of a cooking day. Imagine all the great holiday gifts Jenny will be able to make up for friends and neighbors with so much fudge to give. I love this fudge making day tradition and feel honored to have been included in on it this year!
Below I've shared the recipe for my favorite fudge recipe out of the ones that we made yesterday.
Caramel Cashew Fudge Recipe
Prep Time: 25 minutes • Cook Time: 0 minutes • Serves: 80
2 tsp. plus ½ cup butter, softened, divided
1 can (5 oz.) evaporated milk
2 ½ cups sugar
2 cups BAKER'S Chocolate Chunks
1 jar (7 oz.) JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
24 KRAFT Caramels, quartered
¾ cup PLANTERS Cashew Halves and Pieces, Salted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
SPRAY a 9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
COMBINE milk, sugar and remaining butter in a large heavy saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in chocolate chips and marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in the caramels, cashews and vanilla.
POUR into prepared pan. Cool. Once set, cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in an airtight container.
For more recipes and ideas, visit my blog at www.dineanddish.net.
With pretty swirls of marshmallow creme and caramel, and chunks of salty cashews, this fudge is one of the most gift-worthy you can make!

Virginia M. Fields, a leading scholar of early Mesoamerican art and archaeology who joined the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's curatorial staff in 1989 and devoted 22 years to making the museum a vital center of Latin American culture — partly by organizing major exhibitions such as last year's "Olmec: Colossal Masterworks of Ancient Mexico" — has died. She was 58.
Fields, who had suffered from diabetes since her youth, died Wednesday night of long-term complications from the disease in a hotel in Mexico City. She had traveled there with her husband, photographer and filmmaker David Miller, to attend a professional conference and finalize plans for an upcoming exhibition, LACMA Director Michael Govan said.
"Virginia had very big ideas," said Govan, who took charge of the museum in 2006. "She accomplished so much, but she had so much more to do. When I came to LACMA, it was pretty clear that our biggest opportunity to stand out was to build on existing resources. In the case of Latin American art, we had a strong geographic position, extraordinary collections and Virginia."
On Govan's watch, Fields landed a rare collection of Colombian ceramics, among many other valuable acquisitions. She also worked with artist Jorge Pardo on a strikingly contemporary installation of ancient Latin American objects and organized "Lords of Creation: The Origins of Sacred Maya Kingship," an exhibition accompanied by a catalog that won the Assn. for Latin American Art's 2007 book award. The Olmec show inaugurated the museum's Resnick Pavilion with massive portrait heads and smaller sculptures produced by Mexico's earliest civilization.
The museum's holding of ancient American art grew from about 700 pieces to more than 3,000 objects during Fields' tenure. Her legacy will also include "Children of the Plumed Serpent: The Legacy of Quetzalcoatl in Ancient Mexico," a traveling exhibition opening at LACMA next April, and a planned research center that's expected to develop the premier digital resource for the study of the ancient Americas.
"Her work here was intended to be larger than collecting and exhibitions," Govan said. "It was also about the sharing of ideas, a real effort toward education and scholarship. That was her spirit."
Fields' longtime colleagues praised her as an inspiring, forward-thinking force with a talent for bringing scholars together in collaborative projects.
"She cared deeply about disseminating Mesoamerican culture to a wider audience," said Karl Taube, a professor of anthropology at UC Riverside who contributed to the catalog of "The Road to Aztlan: Art from a Mythic Homeland," a 2001-02 exhibition organized by Fields and Mexican scholar Victor Zamudio-Taylor.
"Her exhibitions were very important to the Los Angeles area," Taube said. "The public only sees the final result, not the incredible amount of work that goes into obtaining the funding, securing permissions [to borrow artworks] from governments and institutions, transporting the objects and setting up the exhibits. She was the kind of person who could actually pull it off."
Joanne Pillsbury, director of pre-Columbian studies at Dumbarton Oaks, a research institute of Harvard University in Washington, D.C., where Fields served on the advisory board, portrayed her as a soft-spoken person with "herculean energy and powers of persuasion."
"She did so much to make us understand that the traditions of the ancient Americas are central to life in the United States now," Pillsbury said. "In Spanish there's a phrase about someone who walks well between cultures. She was someone who could do that. She touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people through her exhibitions and publications."
Fields, who called herself a Connecticut Yankee, was born Virginia Mary Monk in 1952 in Manchester, Conn., the second of eight children in an Irish Catholic family that moved to Denville, N.J., when she was in high school. After a year of study at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, she transferred to the University of San Francisco and then to San Francisco State, where she received a master's degree in anthropology and archaeology in 1982. She studied with Maya scholar Linda Schele at the University of Texas at Austin, which granted her a doctorate in Latin American studies in 1989.
Her first marriage, to actor Michael Fields, ended in divorce. She met David Miller, her second husband, in 1989 while preparing a LACMA blockbuster, "Mexico: Splendors of Thirty Centuries."
Fields began her museum work as curator of a Native American collection at the Clarke Historical Museum in Eureka, Calif., from 1984 to 1987, and taught pre-Columbian and Native American art history at UC Santa Barbara, UCLA, Humboldt State and Cal State Northridge. She arrived at LACMA as the museum's first curator of pre-Columbian art; in her final position she was senior curator of art of the ancient Americas.
Nancy Thomas, the museum's deputy director who was instrumental in hiring Fields, described her as a perpetually lively scholar who was "a master at bringing new information to her exhibitions and other projects."
In a 2007 interview published in Bomb magazine, Fields said anthropology appealed to her "because it was a marvelous, eye-opening experience; I was learning about so many different people around the world and all the different ways they had of living in the world. But this great stuff that anthropologists, archaeologists and historians have discovered is usually not accessible to the general public. The museum is the way to make that accessible."
In addition to her husband, Fields is survived by her mother, Virginia Monk of New Jersey; brothers Joseph, Timothy and Michael Monk of New Jersey and John Monk of Georgia; and sisters Anne Marie Monk of Massachusetts and Mary Debatte of Pennsylvania.
Plans for a memorial service are pending.
Muchnic is a former Times staff writer.

I assume you guys are aware of projects like: http://frc.easy-vdr.de/ It was originally started to get perfectly synced RGB output from a VGA card (to PAL TV), just like from FF DVB card. I haven't really used that myself, but afaik they've been working on making that exact synchronization (variable framerate) possible with new HD/VGA/DVI outputs aswell. -- Pasi _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list email@example.com http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

One of the most thought-provoking recordings
of the past few years, and ultimately one of the most fulfilling, this release
returns Bach's Saint John Passion to its liturgical context. Conductor
John Butt and the Dunedin Consort place the work within the parameters of the
type of Good Friday Vespers service Bach would have known during his time in
Leipzig. Before Part One of the Passion we hear an organ chorale
prelude, a chorale from the congregation (the full nine stanzas of "Da Jesus
an dem Kreuze Stund," which include the Seven Last Words) and an excerpt
from an organ prelude. Part One is followed, as it would have been in this period,
by a congregational response, including a chorale and additional organ music.
This would have been followed by a sermon, which is not included on the recording,
but an appropriate sermon by Erdmann Neumeister, whose texts were set by Bach
in some cantatas, is offered as a free download for those listeners who want the
total immersion. After Part Two of the Passion, an additional sequence
involving a motet, prayers, a blessing and additional organ music offers a
further thirteen minutes of material. The organ music, played by Butt, includes
a Buxtehude excerpt, and the motet, by Jacob Handl Gallus, is an especially
lovely a cappella piece. With the text "Behold how the righteous man dies,"
it is an apt moment of reflection after the completed Passion.
The various elements of the service in between
the two parts of the Passion automatically magnify the accustomed
imbalance of Part One and Part Two, with the latter much longer and, of course,
graver of tone. But the liturgical context has also brought about a real,
perhaps unique, progression in the musical performance of the Passion. Alto
soloist Clare Wilkinson, for example, offers a perfectly nice Part One solo
with "Von den Stricken Meiner Siinden," but when she returns in Part Two
after her ongoing participation in the communal telling of the story, she sings
a world-weary "Es ist vollbracht!" - parched of humanity except for
sudden defiance at "Der Held aus Juda siegt mit Macht." Matthew Brook
sings Jesus in a plain, Everyman sort of way, literally and figuratively
stepping out of the chorus, but he is then enthralling in the Part Two bass
arioso "Betrachte, meine Seel." (We don't often think of Bach as one
of history's great orchestrators, but in this piece the sickness and creepiness
of the scoring, aligned with the moments of greatest chromaticism, are
brilliantly achieved.)
Nicholas Mulroy's Evangelist is simple and
humble as can be, but in Part Two his tenor solo is sweetly, presentationally sung.
The choral singing of the small core of Dunedin soloists is deferential in Part
One, rising to sputtering consonants in Part Two in lines such as "keinen
Konig denn den Kaiser," and the precision of "Lasset uns den nicht
Zerteilen" is something of a miracle. With the musicians keenly attuned to
the Good Friday liturgy, it is not reading too much into the performance to
hear a "to be continued" quality in the final chorus "Ruht
Conductor John Butt is a discreet painter every
step of the way, beginning the Passion at a surprising moment with
considerable urgency, holding on to pedal points with the tenacity other
maestros reserve for Ravel's Bolero and pointing up the conspiratorial quality
of the oboe da caccia in "Zerfliesse, mein Herze." The
instrumentalists cover themselves in glory, with the two viola d'amore parts in
"Erwage" (done on muted violins) sounding as one and the viola da
gamba solo in "Es ist vollbracht!" (played on cello by Alison
McGillivray) a full presence in the drama.
This project was a major challenge for the
recording engineers. It involves a church acoustic, cranky organ overtones and
choral groups of vastly different sizes. (The small Dunedin contingent sings the
Passion turba choruses, the University of Glasgow Chapel Choir sings the
Passion chorales and the motet, and a large, group of Scottish singers portrays
the congregation.) Yet the recorded sound gives the listener the perspective of
sitting in a single seat for the entire evening.

SHOREHAM — The Fort Ticonderoga Ferry has finally started its 2011 season after a seven-week, flood-related delay that has taken a financial toll on the system's owners.
"Things seem to be going better right now," said Alison Matot, who co-owns the ferry with her husband, Michael. The historic cable-drawn ferry links Shoreham with Ticonderoga, N.Y., across Lake Champlain. Were this a "normal" year, the Matots would have been able to fire up the ferry back in late April.

OUTFITTING AN OFFICE with a computer, printer, scanner, fax and copier can be confusing, no matter what your budget. Whether you are planning to spend a little or a lot, determining whether you are getting the most for your money can be a daunting task. That's especially true when your key information source is a computer geek with a well-developed gaming thumb working at a computer retailer.
To demystify outfitting a farm office with a computer and related electronic gear, we consulted Mark Lage, an Iowa farmer who operates Countryside Computers from a refurbished barn on his farmstead near Sheffield, IA.
We asked Lage to take a fresh look at the computer marketplace and then recommend specifications for a computer and related peripheral equipment for two farmers with needs and budgets at opposite ends of the spectrum. The specifications here are not brand-specific. Because today's computer and peripherals market is so competitive, buyers should be able to find equipment that meets the specs from all the major brands, and within a narrow price range. Models from several brands are listed with the specifications for reference.
At one end of the spectrum is a budget-conscious buyer who wants a basic, no-frills system that will accomplish important tasks such as record keeping, information gathering and communication over the Internet and through e-mail. The buyer needs to be able to make a limited number of copies of important documents and wants faxing capability.
At the other end of the spectrum is a buyer with an appetite for the latest technology to help run power-hungry precision-agriculture software. This buyer not only wants a powerful desktop computer, but a laptop he can take to the field for on-the-go record keeping and to drive GPS-related applications. He also wants to improve the efficiency of the farm office with equipment designed to print, copy, fax and scan large numbers of documents.
Budget system
Good news for the budget-conscious: The price of an entry-level computer has fallen dramatically over the past several years.
A few years ago, the price of an entry-level system typically was about $1,800. The base computer system we recommend sells for $650 to $700, including the monitor, and rebates and price cuts could slash that price $100 or more. A multifunction ink-jet printer with fax, copying and scanning capabilities will set the buyer back another $200 or so, bringing the total cost of our budget package to $850 to $900.
"Today, there is a good discount for entry-level machines," says Lage, who has operated his computer business since 1990. "Today's entry-level machine has the capabilities of the mid-range system of just a few years ago."
Notice that Lage isn't recommending a bottom-end machine, which can be found for $400 or less. Machines in this price range typically aren't up to the tasks we're asking of them, and these systems often don't include monitors.
Necessary tasks
Before buying a computer, evaluate your needs, now and over the next several years. Our budget machine is well equipped to handle typical farm office tasks, such as record keeping, word processing and handling spreadsheets, the Internet and e-mail. What it won't handle well is graphics-intensive tasks, such as running high-end precision farming software programs, which combine large databases with detailed maps. Nor will it stand up to the rigors of high-tech gaming.
"I often sell new graphics cards or faster systems to be able to run new games the kids got for Christmas," Lage notes.
His advice: If kids who are interested in gaming will be using this system, pony up $300 to $400 more for a faster processor and beefier graphics card. Increasingly, upgrading computers isn't economical because upgrades can be almost as expensive as a new machine that has even more capabilities.
Availability and power
Our budget computer is available from virtually all the major computer manufacturers, including Dell, Gateway and Hewlett Packard. Although specifications vary slightly from company to company, in today's commoditized computer market, machines from major manufacturers are roughly interchangeable. Deciding where to buy may have a greater influence on what brand you purchase than anything else.
Our budget computer is powered by a 2.6-gigahertz (GHz) Intel Celeron processor with a 128-kilobyte (kB) cache, 256 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM) and a 40-gigabyte (GB) hard drive. It includes a "combo" optical drive that reads and writes compact disks (CDs) and reads (but does not write) digital video disks (DVDs). Note that this computer does not include a floppy disk drive, which is being specified on fewer machines as the industry converts to CDs as the backup media of choice. An internal or external floppy drive could be added for about $50.
For a computer system at this price, you don't get a liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor. The system includes a traditional 17-in. cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor with a 15.9-in. viewing area, a built-in graphics adapter that shares 64 MB of the computer's RAM, a built-in 56-kB modem, a standard keyboard and basic speakers.
Software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works 7.0 (a word processor, spreadsheet and presentation program), antivirus software and a one-year parts, labor and technical support service plan.
The operating speed of this computer is dictated primarily by the processor design and speed, the amount of RAM, and hard drive speed. For video-intensive applications, the graphics card also is critical. For our budget user, the Celeron processor, which has less throughput than Intel's high-end Pentium line, should be adequate. The specified amount of RAM, 256 MB, should be adequate, but any less would bog this machine down. It might even be worthwhile to add another 256 MB (either now or later) if the price is right. For data-intensive operations, the hard drive, which spins at 5,400 rpm and has a 100-MB/sec. controller, could slow operations compared with a more expensive drive with a 7,200-rpm platter with a 133-MB/sec. controller.
Our budget system's multifunction ink-jet color and black-and-white printer, with fax, copying and scanning capabilities, keeps the cost of this system low compared with what would have been required in the past. Not long ago, the buyer would have needed a separate printer and fax (which also would have had limited copying and scanning capabilities) at a higher overall cost. The downside of a multifunction unit is that if one part of the system goes down, you lose access to all capabilities while the machine is being repaired. But at this low cost, in the case of breakdown, buying a new machine may be cheaper than a repair.
Print quality and copy quality with machines in this price range are excellent. Like all ink-jet printers, the downside of this machine is the cost of ink, which can run $0.05/page for black and white, and higher for color. By comparison, the cost per page with black-and-white laser printers is about half. But multifunction black-and-white laser printers cost more than twice as much as ink jets, so low-volume users typically opt for an ink-jet unit.
Blowout system
Although the price of entry-level computers has fallen, the cost of high-level machines has held relatively steady. But you get a lot better technology for the same amount of money, Lage says.
Our high-end computer, which sells for $3,200 to $3,700, depending on the brand, has a long list of features that would satisfy all but the most aggressive gamer. It is available from any of the top computer makers, although specifications may vary slightly.
Dream machine
"This desktop computer would be a dream machine for someone who is on the cutting edge of precision farming," Lage says. "Even power-hungry Geographic Information Systems [GIS] software would fly through layer after layer of precision farming data on this system." Farm accounting and other software typically used in the farm office would barely cause this machine to breath.
Lage specified a machine with a top-of-the-line, 3.2-GHz Pentium 4 processor, 1 GB of RAM and a high-end graphics card with 256 MB of dedicated memory. This machine would have 500 GB of hard drive space (two 250-MB, 7,200-rpm hard drives), plus separate CD and DVD reader/writers. The large hard drive capacity would help to store data-intensive precision ag files. The DVD writing capability also would be useful for backing up large GIS files, because each DVD holds up to 4.7 GB of data. The machine also comes with a combination 3.5-in. floppy drive and digital media card reader.
In this price range, you will get a 17- or 18-in. LCD monitor, multifunction keyboard, surround-sound speaker system, 56-kB data/fax modem and 10/100/1,000 Ethernet adapter.
We've also recommended a $1,700 to $2,000 notebook computer to fulfill on-the-go computing needs. The laptop sports an Intel Pentium, 2.8- to 3.0-GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 40- to 60-GB hard drive, a DVD/CD read/write drive, an integrated yield card reader and a 15-in. active matrix screen. In addition to a 56-kB modem, it has built-in Ethernet, plus an integrated 802.11g networking card for wireless networking with the desktop computer. Both the desktop machine and the laptop come with Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system software, plus Microsoft Works, an antivirus program and a three-year parts, labor and technical support contract. The desktop machine also comes with Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003.
Lage also recommends an external wireless router/switch using the 802.11g protocol to easily network the desktop computer and laptop. This would cost about $100.
Lage recommends a multifunction laser printer for most printing tasks for this farm office. The digital machine handles documents up to 8.5 × 14 in. Typical printing/copying speeds are 15 to 20 pages/min. These machines, which cost $500 to $650, allow reductions and enlargements and have an integrated color scanner, though they don't print in color.
The only capability missing is color printing and copying. For those tasks, Lage recommends adding a moderately priced color ink-jet machine costing about $150.
The total cost of this system would be $5,700 to $6,600. Paring the system down to the same number and types of components that are in the budget system would keep the cost in the $3,700 to $4,350 range.
Whether you buy from your local retailer or on line, conducting preliminary research on several computer-company Web sites can help you refine options and clue you in on pricing. When using on-line computer customizing tools, begin with the standard computer whose specifications are closest to the specifications you want. Then alter the specifications using the customize option. Lage says that adding features such as a slightly faster processor, more RAM, or a bigger, faster hard drive sometimes adds little to the final cost of the computer.

Can one revert to the previous dot version?
So, it really has nothing to do with the 95% of "uneducated" Photoshop users, nor with "obscure" preferences, nor (mis)judging sharpness, nor... but everything to do with problems of the 0.00000000001% users who use PS on Retina screens!?
There is hope that a better engineered and more usable version may come back at some point. But, for now, it's gone.
Quote from: Rhossydd on Today at 18:45:54Who said anything about laying out books ?You diddidn't you write this?QuoteJust imagine trying to refine a book layout; Do you really think spending £50 and waiting two weeks for the book to arrive is a sensible proposition ?Sorry if you didn't mention book layouts...sure looks like you did.
What's being demonstrated here seems to be that Adobe just drop any feature from PS across all platforms if it becomes difficult to implement for, or to support, Mac users.
Yep, that's happened before... Dropped for Windows users because updating them for the Mac wasn't feasible. Adobe has a pretty hard core bent on being as cross-platform independent on features.
A long time ago, I created an action to duplicate the image (renamed to "Actual Print Size), re-size the image to my screen resolution and then to set the zoom level to 100%. Is this the same, better, or worse than "View Print Size" which may set the zoom level at, for example, 30%?
Read what Chris Cox wrote: The change is in the HiDpi support of the OS, plus all the code we added to support high DPI displays. The physical display resolution is only part of the picture, since the OS wants to scale things drawn to the screen in multiple different ways... Again, we know, we're working on a solution - but we had to disable it for now.. If you want to blame Apple for changing the display pipeline, you go right ahead.
I can see Adobe are having problems with the whole Creative Suite; How to keep it rolling in the money from loyal upgraders when it's already mature and feature complete.
Schewe: "Removed because, well, unless you knew how to properly set up the exact resolution of your display, it was always wrong...so, do you know how to properly setup the exact screen rez?
"I'm offended by this incredibly patronizing and arrogant statement! When have you last been in a professional's work place?
You can post a further blast at me for your pleasure and perhaps even groupies that will cheer you for it, but I won't be here to read any more of your puerility. What a waste time
it was a very useful feature when mocking up designs to quickly evaluate the optical weight of visual components at print size (even near print size would be good enough).
