Where the Heart Beats
John Cage, Zen Buddhism, and the Inner Life of Artists
Kay Larson
Penguin: 477 pp., $29.95
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, composer John Cage underwent related crises in his personal and musical lives. He was America's most progressive, most original, most brilliant, most charming and most media-genic young artist. But he had reached a dead end.
Shortly after moving to New York from the West Coast by way of Chicago, Cage, who was born 100 years ago this September in Los Angeles, made his New York debut in 1943 with a concert of percussion music held at the Museum of Modern Art. It was big news and was excitedly reviewed even in Life magazine. But during his early New York years, Cage's marriage broke up over his growing relationship with dancer-choreographer Merce Cunningham. Music, he found, had become an inadequate medium for expressing emotions. Where he meant to reproduce the bleating of a broken heart, some listeners heard woodpeckers pecking. He was poor as a church mouse. It all seemed hopeless.
Cage tried everything. He dabbled in Jungian psychology. But Indian thought proved more conducive. With his luminous 1948 "Sonatas and Interludes" for prepared piano (his invention of placing nuts, bolts and other objects between the piano strings to create a one-man percussion band), Cage began a quest for answers outside the Western tradition, turning to Hinduism as a path to tranquillity. Then he began attending courses at Columbia University in Zen Buddhism given by D.T. Suzuki, a Japanese scholar whose books had become all the rage among New York artists and intellectuals.
That Suzuki changed (maybe even saved) Cage's life is the story that Kay Larson tells in her inspirational biography, "Where the Heart Beats." A former art critic of the Village Voice and New York Magazine, as well as a Zen practitioner, she looks at Cage from the point of view of Buddhism and the visual arts rather than music.
Cage often cited a Zen portrayal of enlightenment — first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, but after enlightenment there is again a mountain. The only difference between before and after, Suzuki used to say, was that the feet were a little bit off the ground.
As a boy growing up in L.A., Cage simply loved music. As he studied music (famously with Arnold Schoenberg at USC and UCLA), things started to become confused, and they became more so as he devised elaborate intellectual and technical constructs in his early scores. Under Suzuki's guidance, Cage claimed to have rid himself of his likes and dislikes and was able to simply let sounds be.
Larson shapes her book and Cage's life around this Zen parable. She then credits Suzuki with leading Cage into a state of satori, removing the divide between heart and mind. Cage absorbed the essence of Zen teaching, which is that all things in the universe interpenetrate, into his being and his work.
Cage then located his problems with his ego, and he adopted chance procedures to free his music from himself. That led to his most famous piece, 4'33." At its 1952 premiere in Woodstock, N.Y., the great pianist David Tudor sat silently at the piano for four minutes and 33 seconds, producing outrage in an audience made up mostly of members of the New Philharmonic, who spent their summers in the Catskills.
First, though, Larson traces the beginning of Cage's spiritual education to his first job as a dance accompanist at the Cornish School in Seattle, where Buddhism was in the air. In fact, Cage's involvement in Eastern thought began far earlier than any of his biographers have revealed.
When he was a student at Los Angeles High, he sometimes visited the Theosophical Society in Hollywood. The first orchestra concerts he attended were led by the Los Angeles Philharmonic's then mystically inclined music director, Artur Rodzinski. In the early 1930s, Cage was mentored by Los Angeles' leading virtuoso pianist, Richard Buhlig, a visionary who introduced Cage to Hinduism. Composer Henry Cowell brought Cage in contact with the musics of China and Japan. While studying with Schoenberg, Cage attended lectures by Krishnamurti in Ojai.
That Cage ultimately found that Zen and other forms of Eastern thought could be a means to help him musically and spiritually is then hardly surprising. He was all but wired for that. He was also always on the lookout for ideas to use in his life and work. But it might be giving Zen too much credit to say that it removed Cage's ego.
No one changes art the way Cage changed art without an enormous ego, and Cage's commanding one could be felt in just about everything he ever wrote or did. In conversation, Cage would usually present a radical notion by saying, "Don't you agree?" Or he might just say, "Hmm," his pitch rising. It was very hard to argue with him: He was too persuasive. What Zen did was to encourage Cage to pay attention to the world outside himself and put his ego to excellent use.
Larson is an exuberant writer about Buddhism and the art world. If she goes fancifully overboard when she tries to give voice to Cage's spirit, she nicely fleshes out Suzuki and his circle, and she mentions, it seems, every visual artist who had even marginal contact with Cage (although she leaves out the important conceptual artist and devoted Cagean William Anastasi). Larson, however, has very little to say about music and practically nothing to say about Cage's work in the last 35 years of his life, when he wrote his greatest music.
She also makes music-related errors. One is describing Ara Guzelimian, who is provost and dean of the Juilliard School, as a composer and concert pianist. Her musical descriptions, moreover, can be naively romantic, and she is unduly harsh on Schoenberg. For all his rebelliousness, Cage never lost his devotion to the man or his love of the music. But she is insightful when it comes to Cage's more conceptual work, which often flummoxes musical analysts.
Larson's Cage breaks out of the four walls enclosing his mind, and that's pretty much where she leaves him. Although never diminishing the inspiration of Suzuki, Cage later in life was more likely to cite Thoreau, James Joyce, Marshall McLuhan, Buckminster Fuller and Norman O. Brown. And for all his influence on the art world — Larson credits him, not irresponsibly, with setting the stage for pop art and showing artists how to appreciate Marcel Duchamp — Cage was first and foremost a composer.
So it's a good idea to follow Larson's book with a useful small volume published by Reaction Books in its "Critical Lives" series. Rob Haskins rushes through Cage's early years, but he shows, with an often lovely turn of phrase, how brilliantly — and profoundly musically — Cage was able to apply Zen to the process of writing music. Larson encourages us to love Cage. Haskins tells us why we should. It's good to have, despite their limitations, both books.

New Mount: A new Argent Crusade paladin-only charger will be available.
Rumor identifies this as the possible new mount:
Looks pretty good.
New Mount: A new Argent Crusade paladin-only charger will be available.
Omg! Omg! Omg!
Thanks for the breaking news.
I'll choose the new charger over my motorbike anyday.
When I started doing my Argent Dailies, I said to myself - "I want that Charger! It just looks cool!"
So if this is true... well, I'll be one happy Pally.
Man I glad I'm Exalted already so got a head start for the new stuff......... The Charger.
He'll yeah I'm all for a real armoured Charger!
But I was just thinking, can you imagine the QQ all over the forums that the mount is Paladin only mount. It must be over flowing with QQ about the mount.
I want my Pony!
Sod saving for the pets, Argent Charger here I come!ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
It seems ghostcrawler really has promised me a pony!ReplyDelete
I'm only so-so excited about it...I mean, it's pretty much the charger from vanilla wow with different colors. We need something similar to what the dreadsteed looks like but with light shooting out of its eyes/hooves instead of fire. Just my two cents.ReplyDelete
I wonder how many seals this will cost?ReplyDelete
Aaaw. Looks very paladin-ish. And now it got me thinking how damn much I'd love a mage-only mount. I mean, holy cow, we've got Dalaran - mage city, as our main city now. And here I roam around on a teddy bear. Gimme something magical and magelicious :DReplyDelete
You guys got a huge city :P and now you want a mount.. you have free food and drinks!ReplyDelete
The magic carpet, being tailor only, is was probably blizzard's idea of the dalaran mount.ReplyDelete

When it comes to year-end lists, I'm a hypocrite. I read them obsessively. I seek them out across vast expanses of the Internet. I'm thrilled when they teach me something.
And yet, for a variety of reasons, I hate constructing my own.
What's more, with the arrival of streaming services like Spotify and Rhapsody, year-end albums lists are starting to feel old fashioned.
With that in mind, here's a list of music-related things I enjoyed in 2013. Some of them are albums. Some are not. Some are songs. Some are not. Merry Christmas to all. I hope my list makes your list of the best year-end lists.

GourmetFarmer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 277 diseños de 73 diseñadores freelance.
Project 11
We are a startup social networking site for customers to share deals and coupons relevant to their stated interests and shopping activity they post/share.
We are web and mobile based and will operate in the US only.
Consider that this business is a social site connecting people over shopping, dollars, deals, offers, sales etc. Customers will share their own profile data, likes, interests, plus will share deals, knowledge of a sale, access to coupons, etc. So please give some thought to this as you design, without making it a literal translation.
This logo will have mass appeal. Compelling to young and old consumers alike, the logo design needs to support a strong online presence and smooth integration with popular social sites (think ability to be represented as an icon and sit alongside/within facebook, twitter and foursquare).
Target audience is broad: US consumers, late teens to fifties, middle-America and up. Biggest driver for this crowd? A sense of value, that there is better price out there for most products and services - if only they could find it more easily.
The logo (and eventual identity, website, etc) will feel easy and simple, with minimalist yet warm design that invites consumers to explore and try the brand out for themselves.
To give you a feel for our style tastes, here are some logo designs (and their extension into corp ID and website) that we like:
- uk.zopa.com
- http://www.skype.com
- all of the apps from http://www.37signals.com
- http://www.tripit.com
- http://www.mint.com
- http://www.xero.com
Once the winning logo has been selected (i.e. this contest completed), we will then be needing iphone icons, url bar icon, web design and ppt template. We will either work with the winner to develop these elements, or will source these through 99designs also. While we are not asking for anything but the primary logo design in this brief, please consider the ease with which your logo design can be extended to the other formats mentioned above.
Additional design considerations:
- Logo colors will form the foundation for the overall corporate identity.
- We find ourselves dropping the word Project, often calling the startup just '11' or sometimes P11. Please consider this as you design the logo. 11 is the hero, more than the word 'Project'. Experiment with it - the logo can be quite abstract and there is no slogan - we want to create a unique mark that will become synonymous with the brand.
Finished product:
Two versions required:
1 x vertical and 1 x horizontal treatment
1 x Color and 1 x black on white for each layout
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
Thanks for taking the time to consider this brief. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We're excited to see our logo take shape over the coming days.
ADDING ONE LAST THING: You have read this far, so take heed - we won't tolerate any ripping of ideas from others. Apply your own creativity to the brief. If you have questions to help shape your design, ask and we'll do our best to answer quickly. But any design that is obviously a direct rip of another in this contest or elsewhere will be immediately eliminated without feedback and we'll eliminate the designer from the competition. I just saw the chaos of the 'bidoo' job - it's out of control. None of us or any of you have time for that kind of rubbish - way too much time wasted. Sorry to end the brief on that note, just want our position to be absolutely clear going in.

Convergence, Now with Scale and Intelligence
Welcome to the shownotes for Episode 89 The Agile Data Center – a veritable smorgasbord of data center innovation…this show is packed and the details are many. All of this centers around massive new technology announcements. (Click here to go right to our show)
Cisco recently shipped its one millionth Nexus 10Gb Ethernet port, bringing the total number of Nexus ports in customer production environments to more than 7,000,000. We have also surpassed 10,000 NX-OS customers and neared 4,000 Unified Computing Systems. Wow. Good times.
The linkage and capabilities continue to build and this show covers the next step on our very mature convergence storyline adding scale and intelligence to the mix.
So what all did we cover?
Scott Lowe did a very nice write up here and the comments are worth following at the bottom for a healthy discussion and clarification. Also worth a close a read – the ever informative and entertaining Chad Sakac and his angles on the 'mega-launch'.
How Unified is the Fabric?
One size does not fit all – Beyond the 'talk' of data center convergence, true scale and intelligence is now available with a slew of new technologies.
Anne reviewed her 'tasty bits' worthy of focus as Richard Rose knocked it out of the part with his double dose of smooth talkin' and dressin'
#1: Nexus 7000 ad MDS 900: Multi-Hop FCoE
Convergence from server to storage array with director class
multi-hop FCoE for Nexus 7000 and MDS 9000 platforms (design guidance), MDS 9000 10-Gbps 8-Port FCoE Module
#2: DCNM – Data Center Network Manager, SAN Edition, new cloud APIs for cloud orchestration
#3: Nexus 5500: New Form Factor, offering all unified port extensions
#4 Nexus 3000 ultra-low latency platform supporting high performance tradingNexus 3000 – Ultra Low Latency
#5: FEX and VM FEX: Fabric Extensions- fabric extensions and manageability into the VM
#6 LISP and MPLS on Nexus 7000 – address separation that enables global
IP address portability simplifies IT operations (LISP Security, .pdf)
One key message:
Cisco's Unified Fabric Delivers Convergence, Scale and Intelligence
Check out the way back machine where we talked about LISP in June of 2010 on our Security Show –
Swift Switching
Jacob Rapp joins Jimmy Ray in the lab as they do a packet level walk through the fastest, lowest latency switches available anywhere. Its the new Nexus 3000 series.
Nexus and the 6500
Amit Singh takes us beyond the access layer and into the core with FCoE on MDS and Nexus 7000 including MPLS and LISP for new scalable architecture as things look UP for Unified Ports on the 5500 – Data Design Delivered.

Segment 4: State of the Art: Data Center 2011 Texas
It's a TechWiseTV field to the new Allen Texas Data Center sporting the most incredible combination of cutting edge design ever assembled in one enterprise class data center.
What a fun trip – Jimmy Ray and I both wrote up some 'trip reports' sharing our impressions – good info and links within these.
My 'Data Center Domination' entry
Lots of good reading and learning:
Doug Alger – one of my favorite guys to follow 'Data Center Constructed'
Feedback Loop
A very timely question from the audience around the often misunderstood nature of MAC address allocation that only intensifies when running redundant pairs. Sean Merrow did a nice write up in the Technical Support Community.
Thanks for watching – Stay in Touch!

Offense Explodes Versus Davidson
With Quinn Cook, Rodney Hood, Jabari Parker and Rasheed Sulaimon on the roster, Duke's offensive firepower was never in doubt. Putting up 111 points and shooting over 70 percent against perennial NCAA Tournament qualifier and Southern Conference Championship contender Davidson in the season opener, however, surpassed the expectations of many. The aforementioned four Blue Devils all scored 20 points, marking the first time in school history Duke had four 20-point scorers, and Duke hit 38-of-54 shots from the floor for a .704 shooting percentage that was the sixth highest in school history. Parker and Hood, both making their Duke debuts, scored 22 points apiece and combined to hit 17-of-20 field goals and 5-of-5 three-pointers while totaling 15 rebounds, three assists, three blocks and a steal. Cook and Sulaimon hit three three-pointers apiece, while Cook logged eight assists and zero turnovers and Sulaimon was Duke's second leading rebounder with seven boards.
Next Up: Kansas
The stakes get significantly higher Tuesday when Duke takes on fellow college basketball power Kansas in Chicago's United Center as part of the State Farm Champions Classic. The game will be a matchup of two of the four winningest programs in college basketball history, as Kansas ranks second all-time with 2,102 victories and Duke fourth with 2,002. The Jayhawks enter the matchup ranked No. 5 in the Associated Press poll and No. 6 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll, marking the fourth time in the series- 10-game history that both teams are ranked in the top 10. Duke owns a comfortable 7-2 lead in the series, but the Blue Devils have split the last two meetings with Duke taking the 2012 matchup in the EA Sports Maui Invitational 68-61 and Kansas winning the 2003 NCAA Sweet Sixteen meeting 69-65.
Chicago Homecoming On the Horizons For Parker
Duke freshman Jabari Parker didn't have to wait long to make a return to his hometown. When Duke faces Kansas in the State Farm Champions Classic at the United Center in Chicago, Ill., Parker could seemingly draw a large contingent of native Chicagoans who watched him dominate the competition on the Illinois high school and AAU circuits. However, Parker didn't seem distracted by the prospect of playing in front of his hometown fans again, instead focusing on the daunting task Duke will face in taking on No. 5 Kansas when asked about the matchup and venue following the Davidson win. "I need to just keep the game plan and don't go outside of what we want to do," he said in Duke's locker room. "I know I've got individual goals, but I have to put that aside. What's more important is the team. There are no individual matchups, [just] Duke versus Kansas."
Parker Named to National Player and Freshman of the Year Watch Lists
As highly-touted of a recruit Jabari Parker was coming out of Simeon Career Academy, it's no surprise that the Duke freshman was named to the Wayman Tisdale Freshman of the Year Award watch list Monday. The bigger news came the next day when Parker, who has received Preseason All-America first team honors as well as multiple votes in the media's ACC Preseason Player of the Year polling, appeared on the Oscar Robertson Trophy watch list as one of the favorites to end the season as the top player in college basketball. Parker was one of only 15 players on the list and was named alongside such college stars as Ohio State's Aaron Craft, Syracuse's C.J. Fair and Louisville's Russ Smith. The Oscar Robertson Trophy committee's prediction seemed pretty spot on, as three days later Parker went off for 22 points, six rebounds, two assists and a block on 8-of-10 shooting from the floor and 3-of-3 shooting from the three-point line in his Duke debut against Davidson.
Hairston Added as Team Captain
Having already tabbed senior Tyler Thornton and redshirt sophomore Rodney Hood co-captains this season, head coach Mike Krzyzewski added senior Josh Hairston to the group last week. Krzyzewski cited Hairston's leadership and support of his teammates during his time at Duke as why Hairston was worthy of being designated Duke captain. Hairston, who was surprised by the decision when Krzyzewski announced the appointment in a team meeting, commented on the emotional scene, saying, "Not everyone has a moment like that with a legend. I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
State Farm Champions Classic Retains College Basketball's Best For Next Three Seasons
The State Farm Champions Classic, which Duke will participate in this Tuesday against Kansas, announced the retention of Duke, Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan State over the next four years, extending the start of college basketball's premier showcase event. The two-game event, which is held annually in some of the country's top sports venues, will continue to serve as the culmination of ESPN's College Hoops Tip-Off Marathon. This year's event in the United Center features Duke versus Kansas and Kentucky versus Michigan State, bringing together four of the nation's top-five teams under one roof. The teams will alternate matchups over the next three years with Duke facing Michigan State in 2014, Kentucky in 2015 and Kansas in 2016.
Collins Gets First Victory at Northwestern
Duke basketball alumnus and former assistant coach Chris Collins wasted no time in getting his first victory as a head coach, guiding Northwestern to a 72-55 win over Eastern Illinois in the season opener Saturday. With a gameplan that featured stifling defense and red-hot shooting from three-point range, the final box score was eerily reminiscent of those Collins helped manufacture during his 14 years alongside Krzyzewski on the Blue Devil coaching staff. The Collins-led Wildcats held Eastern Illinois to .302 from the floor and a .111 mark from three-point range while allowing just four assists. Said Northwestern forward Drew Crawford about his head coach after the game, "It's coach Collins' first win and he's extremely energetic, so passionate about the game, about this team, about Northwestern. He cares so much about it so to get that win and really celebrate in the locker room is a great feeling."

MIDDLEBURY — It's still early in the election year, but Middlesex Progressive Anthony Pollina has already grown weary of leaders in Montpelier saying what they "can't" do for Vermonters, either due to scant finances or the sheer complexity of the problems at hand.
So, Pollina has decided to run for governor to tell citizens what state government "can" do for them.
"Overall, I would say I share the same frustration that a lot of other Vermonters share with the current governor (Middlebury Republican James Douglas), who tends to be holding us back from dealing with the challenges we face," Pollina, 56, said during a March 28 interview with the Addison Independent. "The way I would categorize it is, the current governor spends too much time lecturing us about all the things he thinks we cannot do."
Pollina, during a far ranging interview, discussed his stand on a variety of campaign issues, including health care reform, boosting affordable housing and creating new jobs. He also addressed the perception, held by some in the Statehouse, that his candidacy could siphon votes from a Democrat challenger to Douglas. Vermont Democrats have yet to field a candidate for governor.
Pollina is no stranger to statewide races and controversy.
In 1984, he was the Democratic and Rainbow Coalition candidate for U.S. Congress.
He ran the first-ever Progressive Party campaign for governor in 2000, polling 10 percent of the vote. He followed that up in 2002 with a bid for lieutenant governor, garnering 25 percent of the vote in a very competitive race.

ADDISON COUNTY — The winter months, when fields are covered with snow, have always been lean times for farmers. While some who till the lands simply tighten their belts, a few Addison County growers have banded together to create a new online farmers market to reach customers at a time of year not usually associated with fresh, locally produced food.
"Customers are coming fairly quickly," said Bay Hammond, whose family owns the Doolittle Farm in Shoreham.
The Doolittle Farm joined with seven other Addison County farms to launch the Addison County Locally Grown Web site, which went live at the beginning of March.
This time of year, well outside the growing season for fruits and vegetables, most of the products at the online farmers market are meat, dairy and baked goods. In addition to helping farmers, Hammond said the market will strengthen the local foods movement, which has sometimes struggled in the winter months.
"There are a lot of local products that aren't vegetables," Hammond said. "The local movement gets pushed through the summer, but it really needs to be year-round."
In addition to Doolittle, the other farms selling their products online are Singing Cedars Farmstead in Orwell, Ledge Hill Farm in Weybridge, Kent Ridge Orchards in Cornwall, Camomile Blue in Ripton, New Leaf Organics in Monkton, Crawford Family Farm in Whiting and Boundbrook Farm (which is affiliated with Good Companion Bakery) in Ferrisburgh.
Items currently for sale range from kielbasa and leg of lamb to lip balm and scoured wool.

MIDDLEBURY — In all his 30 years of teaching English, there's one memory Charles Sabukewicz still can't shake: While supervising a large study hall, he noticed students huddling around a table. When he peeked into the crowd to see what they were watching, he saw that one boy had caught a fly, tied a long strand of hair around it, made a loop at the other end of the hair and attached it to a pencil.
The fly, still alive and buzzing, circled the pencil as the kids looked on.
"Now why would I remember something like that?" Sabukewicz said over a cup of coffee on Monday.
Many of the 70-year-old's memories are like that — a dollar bill floating in on the tide at a Rhode Island beach, catching a mosquito and pasting it into his notebook — haphazard but lasting images that over the years he has sculpted and carved into poetry.
Sabukewicz, who retired from Middlebury Union High School in 1999, recently released a book called "Rowing in Twilight," a collection of short poems inspired by the natural world, the local community and his childhood in Narragansett, R.I. He will give a reading of his work at the Vermont Book Shop in Middlebury on Wednesday, April 9, at 6 p.m.
"I have a tendency to become interested in things other people might not be interested in," he said.
But that's not entirely true.
In a poem called "The Bee Keeper," Sabukewicz evokes local beekeeping legend Charlie Mraz, whom Sabukewicz got to know through a series of interviews he conducted for a documentary about Mraz for Middlebury Community TV in the '90s.
Mraz, who established Middlebury's Champlain Valley Apiaries, was known around the world for his innovative use of bee venom to treat arthritis pain, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.

If you are an iPod/iPhone user in the market for a single DIN headunit that is fully compatible with your device and loaded with great features like Pandora, Bluetooth, and iTunes tagging, the $199.99 Clarion CZ302 might be for you.
The Clarion CZ302 is designed for drivers who need to make hands free phone calls and music access on their iPod or iPhone. The unit features Bluetooth and a built in microphone in the faceplate, and has connectivity for vehicles that require an optional external microphone. The CZ302 can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth and pair up to three devices at a time.
With the Pandora app on your iPhone or iTouch device, you also have the ability to bring your Pandora stations with you, and also supports iTunes tagging from the optional Sirius/XM tuner.
Other features include front and rear/sub RCA outputs, front mounted USB port for Apple devices or a standard USB thumbdrive, a separate 3.5 mm Auxiliary input, a built in four channel amplifier rated at 19 watts, and a high mass aluminum heatsink on the back of the chassis.
On the control side of things, the Clarion CZ302 comes with a three band parametric EQ with three different filter Q settings. There are high and low pass crossovers as well, and the rear RCA outputs can be set to provide dedicated subwoofer output signal, with independently adjustable output level and phase control. Another DSP powered function called Magna Bass EX automatically boosts low frequencies to compensate for road noise.
Controls and Functions
The CZ302 is very easy to use which speaks to the intuitive design of the controls and functions. The two line, nine character, negative image (white on black background) LCD is easy to read, and the rotary volume knob and large buttons make the controls easy to use even while wearing gloves. The front faceplate is removable for added security. If you have steering wheel mounted controls, the CZ302 has a connection for the optional interface module that allows you to retain them.
At this price point, I expected to have an RDS enabled tuner, but that is one feature that the Clarion lacks. However, it does come with a nicely made infra-red remote control. A feature called simple control allows you to use the iPod's controls instead of the CZ302's if that's what you prefer. I found this to be a handy feature for passengers who want to play DJ on the drive.
From a sonic perspective, there was very little to complain about with the CZ302. The internal amplifier sounds very good, and the RCA outputs provided a reasonably flat frequency response and adequate drive for my power amps. The system sounds open and natural from the CD source, and my iPod and USB sources also sounded very good. Clarion has long been known for building a good tuner, and I had no complaints with the reception or sound of this one. The iPod interface is fast and easy to use, and the display lets you know what track you're listening to, but doesn't provide as much information as I would have liked. I found the parametric EQ to be much more useful than your typical Bass/Treble controls, but the three preselected EQ curves to be less pleasing - I much preferred to do the tuning myself.
On the Bench
Moving from the listening room into the electronics lab, the Clarion unit was put through its paces and provided predictably good results. Frequency response, stereo separation, and signal to noise all measured quite well, and the output impedance was also better than I've seen from Clarion in a while, at 155 ohms.
Measured Specifications
CEA-2006A Power per channel (all channels driven, @ 4 ohms)…… 18.2W
A Wtd S/N Ratio (ref to 2V/1W @ 4 ohms) output ………………………… -80.9dBA
THD+N @ 2V/1W @ 4 ohms 1kHz ………………………………………………….. 0.1%
Frequency Response (-3.0dB) ………………………………………………… better than 20 - 20kHz
Preamp Section
Max Usable Output Voltage …………………………………………………………….. 2.3Vrms
A Wtd S/N Ratio ref to full output voltage………………………………………. -85.7dBA
Output Impedance …………………………………………………………………………… 155 ohms
Frequency Response (-3.0dB) ……………………………………………… better than 20 - 20kHz
The Clarion CZ302 sounds very good, and brings the convenience and safety of Bluetooth functionality to your system. And if you're an iPhone/iPod user, you'll appreciate the ability of having your entire music collection at your fingertips. And for the times you just want to listen to music without having to do the selecting, the Pandora compatibility lets the music flow while you focus on the driving. I really like the CZ302, although a couple of times I did find myself wishing for a bit more info on the display. On the upside, what is there is easy to read and the unit is very pleasant to use. You can't really ask for much more than that, especially at under 200 bucks. To check out the CZ302 and all the Clarion gear for yourself, visit www.clarion.com.

CAMP PENDLETON, CA -- Talk about a boot-camp style workout! Marines across the country are preparing for the Combat Fitness Test (CFT) that all active-duty personnel and reserves must take by March 31.
The CFT assesses whether soldiers can handle the physical demands of combat. The test has three parts, the first of which is an 880-yard sprint that must be run in 2 1/2 minutes while wearing combat boots and utility pants.
For the second part of the test, Marines have to lift a 30-pound ammunition can over their heads from chest level for two minutes. The number of repetitions is translated into a score based on age and gender.
The third part of the test simulates movement under fire. The maneuver includes a combat crawl, an ammunition re-supply, a body drag, a casualty carry and a grenade throw.
The Marines start in a prone position, then get up and sprint for 25 yards, weave in and out of cones for 25 more yards, and do a 10-yard high crawl. Next, they drag a simulated casualty under their arms, weaving between two cones for 10 yards, before transitioning into a fireman's carry and running for 65 more yards. After that, they carry two 30-pound ammunition cans for a 50-yard sprint, followed by a 25-yard diagonal run. When they reach a simulated grenade pit, Marines engage a target zone with a simulated grenade and take cover. They finish by carrying their ammunition cans for a 25-yard diagonal run, followed by a 50-yard sprint.
Beginning on Oct. 1, the CFT will be incorporated into composite scores for promotions and a revised fitness report, regardless of the Marine's occupational specialty.

Canada's Anti-spam Law (CASL), Bill C-28, may not be in effect until early 2012, but that doesn't mean that small businesses and organizations should wait to make sure they are prepared for the new legislation. Constant Contact®, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTCT), a marketing advisor to more than 450,000 small organizations worldwide, is offering its insights to help small businesses and nonprofits across Canada – as well as any others communicating with people in Canada – prepare for compliance.
The Canadian government passed CASL in December 2010 to establish a regulatory framework for permission-based marketing, including email marketing, social media marketing, text, and other electronic messaging. This framework will protect electronic commerce in Canada, deter damaging and deceptive forms of spam, such as identity theft, phishing and spyware, and drive out spammers.
"Education and awareness are key to ensuring that organizations are proactively evaluating their contact list collection methods and practicing permission-based online marketing," said Guy Steeves, Constant Contact regional development director for Vancouver. "With or without the legislation, there are many things that small businesses and organizations can do now, and we want to be sure they know we're here to help."
This slideshow features Constant Contact's 10 permission-based online marketing best practices that small businesses and organizations can use to spruce up their marketing efforts and prepare for CASL.

We were so inspired by all the wonderful entries from our recent sewing competition that we've decided to give away three more copies of our new book. The BurdaStyle team has taken one of the variation projects from BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern, the 1960s Jackie Dress, and styled it three ways. (This dress is based on the 1920s Louisa Drop-Waist Dress master pattern, as shown here in an abstract silk charmeuse.)
We're curious to see how others in the BurdaStyle community would style and wear this silhouette. For a chance to win this fun and creative book (plus a few other surprise goodies), please answer the following question in the comments section below: How would you style the 1960s Jackie Dress? Tell us why you like this pattern, what fabric you'd make it in, and where you'd wear it to.
How would you style the 1960s Jackie Dress?
I would like to give this mod dress style a futuristic twist by styling it with modern accessories. I couldn't imagine wearing this dress without a pair of sunglasses, so I would totally rock a pair of cat-eye style sunglasses. A bright pair of Jeffery Campbell Lita's would make my legs look long and accentuate the silhouette of the dress. I wouldn't style this dress with a necklace because the wide roll collar is a statement in itself. A wide silver cuff finishes off my look – I love the details on this 3D Triangle Bracelet.
Why do you like this pattern, and what fabric would you make it in?
I like the simplicity of this sewing pattern, and how it only has two bust darts. The simple design allows me to easily sew it up in an awesome print! The wide roll collar is another great feature, and it really frames the face. I have already made this dress in a cool Graffiti Print, so I would totally make it again in a galaxy printed silk cotton.
Where would you wear this dress style?
I would wear this dress both day and night! The simple and conservative style makes it an appropriate style for work and shopping. But since I would sew it in a cool print, it is definitely fun enough to wear out- especially to dinner because it is loose-fitting.
How would you style the 1960s Jackie Dress?
I would make my Jackie Dress without the belt and with a shorter hemline and style it with a cute pair of stud earrings (not to take away from the neckline), and one or two chunky bracelets. For shoes, I would wear a pair of cute and simple wedges.
Why do you like this pattern, and what fabric would you make it in?
I love this pattern because of its simple lines and versatility. This past winter, I made a wool Jackie Dress with sleeves, and this spring I'm excited to make the original sleeveless variation in a cotton silk.
Where would you wear this dress style?
I would wear this dress just about anywhere dress appropriate: lunch with the girls, a bridal shower, the horse races, an engagement party, a gallery opening, etc. I know I'll wear my spring Jackie variation to my friend's 30th birthday party next month!
How would you style the 1960s Jackie Dress?
I'd shorten the hem and still include the belt, but I'd make the bow slightly asymmetric off to one side as opposed to positioning it front and center. I see myself wearing this in the springtime with a pair of modern clogs like these Loeffler Randalls with wrap-around ankle straps. I can't just go all black and white, so I'd need to add a pop of color with a statement bag in a contrasting texture, such as this multicolored striped one with a nice, long strap. Lastly, I'd need a pair of fun sunglasses that are slightly offbeat with a little interest, such as these Fendi shades with contrasting pink detail at the top of the frame set against the tortoise.
Why do you like this pattern, and what fabric would you make it in?
I designed the Jackie Dress project variation for BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern with a modern Jackie O. silhouette in mind. I had always imagined it being sewn in a striking brocade versus a traditional wool, similar to the fabric I picked out for the Jackie Dress featured in the book which is pretty futuristic and loud. If I had to envision another Jackie Dress, I'd make it in a printed silk zibeline to give it an architectural form, like this abstract black and white tulip motif. I like the texture of its twill weave and also that it is more matte, less shiny. This fabric does not wrinkle as easily and has a nice structure.
Where would you wear this dress style?
I always wear dresses, so there's no stopping me from wearing it anywhere, really. I would wear it to a dinner party, a museum outing, while on vacation, or even in colder months with opaque tights underneath.
Here are some examples of Jackie dress variations that we have previously designed!
Comment on our blog for a chance to win a copy of BurdaStyle Sewing Vintage Modern: Mastering Iconic Looks from the 1920s to 1980s by Nora Abousteit with Jamie Lau. Answer the following question in the comments section below: How would you style the 1960s Jackie Dress? Tell us why you like this pattern, what fabric you'd make it in, and where you'd wear it to. The deadline for submissions is March 17, 2013 at 11:59 PM (EST). Three lucky winners will be chosen.
Good Luck!

Liberals claim victory in Tasmanian state election
Winning Liberal leader Will Hodgman claimed an emphatic mandate for change in the Tasmanian election after his party was swept to majority government.
Mr Hodgman appeared to have taken up to 14 seats in the 25 seat House of Assembly as Labor and Green votes fell away, according to election analysts.
"We will be decisive and we will not, we will not, adopt a business as usual approach," Mr Hodgman told cheering supporters in the Hobart tally room on Saturday night.
"Tasmanians have voted for change and that is what they will get."
Both outgoing Labor premier Lara Giddings and Greens leader Nick McKim implored Mr Hodgman in their speeches not to re-ignite the state's protracted forests conflict.
"I say tonight to Will Hodgman, don't take us back to war," Mr McKim said. "Protect those forests and protect our people from another four years of bitter conflict."
But Mr Hodgman went to the election promising to tear up a peace deal drawn up by industry and environmental groups.
"We intend to deliver on all those things we have committed to Tasmanians," he said. "That includes in our forest industry, and supporting those regional towns who have voted resoundingly for a change for a better state."
Ms Giddings was returned to parliament, but her potential successor David O'Byrne looked to have been squeezed out by the size of the swing to the Liberals, potentially leaving the ALP with as few as six seats.
In the cut-up of preferences, the Greens were clinging to four seats, with the final make-up of the House of Assembly was unlikely to be known for weeks.
"After 16 years Tasmanians have voted for change and I congratulate Will Hodgman," Ms Giddings said. "I'm proud to be part of this Labor government and all we've done."
She admitted that it had been difficult to sell the message of Labor achievements after so long in power, but her campaign was dogged by dissent inside the party.
Backbencher Brenton Best, repeatedly voiced his disapproval of the party leader, and said Labor should have broken an alliance with the Greens.
As he trailed in his own seat, Mr Best repeated his demands. "I had suggested she should have stood aside and if she had we might have had a different result tonight," he said.
Despite a prominent campaign by billionaire party leader Clive Palmer, the Palmer United Party's vote fell away from the 2013 federal result that brought in senator-elect Jacquie Lambie in Tasmania.
"I think they would have done better to pack up and go home a fortnight ago," said Greens MP Tim Morris. "They would have had a better result."
Morris admitted he was hanging on to his own seat by his fingernails.
