The harder of the two Gil Evans albums on Impulse to find, and the best – really far-reaching material that has Evans coming into contact with some of the hippest jazz players of his generation! The record's got three incredible tracks written by Cecil Taylor – a very bold move for Evans, given Taylor's strongly out reputation even at this point in his career – and possibly even more bold, given that Taylor's on the tracks playing piano, alongside players who include Archie Shepp, Jimmy Lyons, Sonny Murray, and Henry Grimes. The material's fantastic, and is a key part of Taylor's work at the time, and shows a very different setting for his piano – a bit of tension with the larger Evans group, in a way that's almost more compelling than his own early dates as a leader! Taylor titles include "Pots", "Bulbs", and "Mixed". The other tracks on the album were written by John Carisi, who wrote the classic "Israel" for Miles Davis' nine piece group in the late 40s – but who here contributes "Moon Taj", "Angkor Wat", and "Barry's Tune". Carisi's tracks are a bit more subdued, but no less wonderful – and arrangements are by Taylor and Carisi, of their own music, presented with the Evans modern touch. If you ever needed a record to convince you that Gil Evans was a genius, this is it! © 1996-2019, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Orange & black label mono pressing with RVG stamp.)
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Elegant and sustainable
A beautiful space offers luxury living while safeguarding the environment
- « prev

- 1 of 25
Growing up in wide-open Wyoming is bound to have an effect on a boy. In the cases of developer Mark Lowham and builder Mark Turner, that upbringing gave them a respect for the outdoors and a desire to protect our precious resources. The two Wyoming transplants connected in Washington, D.C., where they collaborated to build a Craftsman-inspired house that offers luxury living while safeguarding the environment. Turner, president of GreenSpur builders, has been focused on sustainable building practices for several years; he found a willing partner in Lowham, a senior vice president of West Group, a largely commercial developer in McLean, Virginia. "As a resident and member of the development community for more than 20 years, I want to pass along to my own children that how and where we build has a direct impact on our planet," Lowham says.
The house's interiors have an equally compelling green story. Lowham recruited friend and designer Barry Dixon to lead a group of interior designers in beautifully appointing the house, using sustainable and environmentally responsible materials.
"We wanted to show that there is such a thing as luxurious sustainable living," Barry says. "There is much more to a green house than unbleached linen and drab, neutral color schemes."
Nineteen designers outfitted 18 rooms with sumptuous and richly colored fabrics, plush rugs, graceful tables, inviting chairs, and glamorous mica-encrusted wall coverings-all eco-kind materials.
The 3,800-square-foot house served as a fund-raiser for CharityWorks, an organization helping children and families in the Washington, D.C., area. Traditional Home was the national media sponsor of the GreenHouse showhouse and will feature it in the GreenSpace section of this and future issues.
The minimal environmental impact of the project started with the site in an established neighborhood in McLean, within walking distance of retail shops and mass transit. An existing brick rambler on the site was demolished, but that, too, was environmentally responsible. A crew dismantled the house "shingle by shingle and board by board," and 97 percent of the old house was salvaged and recycled, Turner says.
Architects at Cunningham/Quill Architects in Washington, D.C., designed and sited the new U-shaped house to take advantage of the sun, taking into account shading properties of old-growth trees. Trellises and wide roof overhangs shield the house from the high summer sun while allowing for heat gain from the winter sun, which is lower in the sky.
The house has a geothermal heating and cooling system and in-floor radiant heat. Solar photovoltaic panels generate electricity to heat water for the home.
Turner sided the house with durable wood-look-alike fiber cement boards, which are made with recycled post-industrial waste material.
Low-flow water fixtures and energy-efficient appliances were installed. The house's energy consumption is projected to be 70 to 80 percent less per square foot than for a comparable new home, Turner says. "The project showcases how energy-efficient design and renewable energy systems come together in a home that is not only seriously environmentally friendly but also a beautiful place to live," says Turner.
Landscaping is also designed to conserve energy and water. Native plants are drought tolerant, disease resistant, and require little maintenance. To prevent storm water runoff, Belgard permeable paving stones were laid on the drive and walkways. The pavers are installed with spaces between them and over layers of porous materials to allow water to gradually soak into the soil.
While Turner and his team focused on construction, the interior designers searched Web sites and showrooms and talked to manufacturers to track down sustainable furnishings.
"We wanted to take the scare factor out of going green and show that green interiors can be just as nostalgic, comfortable, and warm as your grandmother's home," Barry says.
For many of the designers, using sustainable materials was a new experience, so they collaborated to find viable sources. The result is a showhouse furnished with sustainable components-one that shares common design sensibilities and a common palette.
"There is a wonderful harmony and flow you don't always see in a showhouse," Barry says.
Consistency in design is also environmentally friendly, he adds. "We wanted a design that could be left the way it is when a homeowner moves in, without repainting or redoing spaces."

Metal roofing has high solar reflectivity and emissivity values to reduce cooling loads. Metal roofs are extremely durable and long-lasting.
Wood trellises above the windows filter the sun. Low-emissivity window glass helps reduce heating and cooling costs. Available from greenspur.net.
Pre-insulated walls, called Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), speed construction, make for less waste, and result in a well-insulated house.
Permeable pavers installed on walks and driveway let water soak into the soil, preventing storm water runoff (www.belgarddesignpro.com).
Solar panels (also known as photovoltaic panels) produce energy that heats water for the house.
Established trees were preserved to shade the house from the sun. The house was built on a city lot close to retail outlets and transportation.

From the salvaged barn beams and ceiling trusses to the terrazzo floor, virtually every material in the living room of this eco-friendly house has a green story. Even designer Barry Dixon's choice of motifs is a nod to green. "We played with the circle concept, referencing the circle of life and ideas such as reuse and recycling," he says.
An east-facing wall of 8-foot-tall windows and French doors topped with transoms fills the room with sunlight so that less electric lighting is needed during sunny days.
Organic linen curtain panels are embellished on the hems with overlapping appliqués of sheer and solid linen circles suggestive of bubbles-"paying homage to the lap pool just beyond the French doors," Barry explains.
Luxurious upholstered seating, including a sofa, daybed, and fireside chairs designed by Barry, is made with sustainable wood frames, soy-based foam cushions, and eco-kind casein-based finishes. Proving good design can co-exist with eco-materials, Barry upholstered his furniture with sustainable fibers, such as natural linen, cotton, bamboo, and even a fabric made of recycled plastic bottles for the banquette in the dining area.
The room is warmed by a cozy EcoSmart Fire, a ventless unit that burns denatured ethanol, a renewable and clean-burning fuel. Barry turned the fireplace into the room's focal point, adding a classic limestone mantel surround against a dramatic accent wall fabricated from riveted metal.
Opposite the fireplace is a huge mirror set into a salvaged factory window. Nearby, an old cheese-packing crate serves as a drum table.
Every corner of the room is designed for function. "There are spaces to curl up by the fire and read a book or take a nap with the dog," Barry says. "It's a room for everyday living."
Plush pillows are covered in linen fabric scraps from designer Barry Dixon's studio. Barry designed the pattern for an upcoming eco-kind fabric collection for Vervain.
Organic linen draperies embellished with appliqués filter morning light. A natural fiber, organic linen is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides (pindler.com).
Sustainable balsa wood pieces fit together to form the lacy pendant lights. Balsa is a fast-growing, easily replenished wood. Designed by New Zealand architectural designer David Trubridge, the pendants are also made of bamboo.
The silky rug from Karastan is made from renewable bio-based polymer fibers that use 30 percent less energy to produce than standard nylons.
An old factory window was made into the mirror, and a vintage cheese crate became a table. Antiques and salvaged items conserve resources required to make new furnishings.
Sustainable oak, cotton velvet upholstery, and soy-based cushions on the daybed Barry Dixon designed for Tomlinson/Erwin-Lambeth prove green can be gorgeous.
The living room and kitchen share a 42x21-foot space in the heart of the house, and are subtly separated by a 10-foot-tall mesh panel made with recycled metal. "It's a translucent divider that provides a visual separation without blocking views, light, or conversation," says designer Barry Dixon.
Comfortable seating is a must-have for today's kitchens so Barry designed a graceful curved bench that connects people with the living and kitchen spaces. Built of sustainable wood, the bench is upholstered in a soft-to-the-touch and durable fabric made of recycled plastic water bottles. To shield views into a messy kitchen, Barry thoughtfully made the bench back 18 inches taller than the kitchen counters.
A round pedestal table--another Barry design--is made of cast concrete and anchors the eating nook. "Concrete is basically made out of rubble and sand--very eco friendly," the designer explains. Many of the furnishings, including the table and bench, were made locally¬--another way to be environmentally responsible, Barry adds.
The efficient galley-style kitchen features handsome SieMatic cabinets in two finishes and manufactured with sustainable materials. One wall of cabinets houses wall ovens and conceals the energy-efficient refrigerator and freezer.
More storage is provided by a walk-in pantry by Eco-Nize Closets, a company that builds with particleboard made with recycled and recovered wood.
Barry allotted plenty of work space for multiple cooks, with long stretches of elegant Eco by Cosentino countertops. The durable surface is made of 75 percent recycled content -- mirrors, sinks, and windshields -- in an eco-friendly resin made in part from corn oil.
For a dash of glamour, Barry covered the kitchen's largest wall with a glittering wallpaper made with mica flakes applied to a recycled paper backing.
Barry couldn't resist one final tribute to green living: open shelves lined with homegrown and home-canned produce from his Virginia farm.
Countertops from Eco by Cosentino are made with 75 percent recycled content in a corn oil resin.
Mica flakes embedded on a recycled-paper backing create an eco-responsible wall covering. Maya Romanoff's Wallmica is free of heavy metals and formaldehyde.
Sleek cabinets that streamline storage are made with recycled content, certified woods, and rapidly renewable materials, and are built in an eco-responsible plant (www.siematic.com).
Travertine floor tiles are a mixture of recycled glass in a cement-based product using fly ash to preserve resources (www.waterworks.com).

Soothing grays and blues are energized by two 19th-century Chinese red-lacquer cabinets in the master bedroom designed by Michael Roberson. "One of the quickest ways to go green is to reuse something, keeping it out of a landfill," she says. The slipcovered headboard and club chair are from Lee Industries and are made with soy-based cushions, recycled fiber fillings, and sustainable wood; they are covered with organic cotton fabrics.
The salvaged wood floors are softened by an all-wool rug, and the room is lighted by energy-efficient fluorescent lights.
Michael Roberson softened the windows with all-linen curtains that were hand-printed and colored with low-VOC dyes. The sheer roman shade is also linen that was tinted with natural dyes. Bedding is organic cotton and linen, plus a bamboo fiber throw.

Susan Gulick combined the coziness of a family room with the sophisticated technology of a home theater--and did it all with sustainable materials.
A sink-in sectional that seats practically an entire family is constructed of woods from responsibly managed forests. Cushions are soy-based, springs are made of 80 percent recycled material, and upholstery is a bamboo and organic cotton fabric. The fabric was even manufactured using wind power.
Susan chose sound-absorbent and cushy cork for the floor. Cork is a renewable resource and is harvested without damaging the tree. For added comfort, Susan layered the floor with a wool rug colored with vegetable dyes.
The room's acoustics and elegance are enhanced by decorative hardwood paneling that is formaldehyde free and bonded using soy-based adhesives. Two other walls are softened with a Phillip Jeffries wall covering made of hemp, a rapidly renewable and biodegradable material.
The 46-inch Samsung TV may be large, but its LED (light-emitting diode) technology uses 40 percent less energy than a standard LCD or plasma television, plus it contains no mercury.
Maple plywood panels, which contain no urea formaldehyde, provide a sophisticated backdrop for water-based paintings by Craig Cahoon.
For added privacy and to darken the room for TV viewing, Susan hung handwoven silk draperies--colored with natural dyes--between the sitting area and a back entry.

The Craftsman-style front door opens to the elegant entry hall and stair designed by Raji Radhakrishnan. Setting the tone for the house's classic style, Raji installed paneled wainscoting painted a crisp, clean white. The custom millwork was made from 100 percent recycled wood fiber harvested from responsibly managed forests.
Raji mixed modern art with antiques and vintage pieces--a vintage umbrella stand, Louis XVI-style candle sconces, and a brass-and-iron bench--to give the space life and personality. A custom console table, for example, is fashioned from old French balcony parts, recycled steel, mirrors, and granite.
Reclaimed 100-year-old heart pine floors stained and finished a warm honey tone flow from the entry up the stairs and through much of the house.
For the stairs, Raji opted for a long-wearing custom wool-silk runner by Odegard, a company that has led the rug industry in stopping child labor and in promoting environmentally responsible practices.

NBK announced that the bank's board of directors has decided to recommend a 10% capital increase to the extraordinary general assembly. The capital increase will take place through a rights issue offered to the shareholders registered in the bank's records one day prior to the date of calling the capital increase which is dependent on the issuance of the Amiree decree that approves it. The capital increase will take place at 500 fils per share, representing a premium of 400 fils per new share issued - over and above the par value of 100 fils per share.
The Central Bank of Kuwait has approved to the recommended capital increase, which will be subject to the approval of the extraordinary general assembly and other competent authorities.
NBK's capital increase is intended to support the Bank's strategic expansion plans which succeeded lately in acquiring 40% of Boubyan Bank. The capital increase will also support NBK's continuing endeavors to enhance its role in financing economic projects across the region, whilst achieving high levels of returns and profits for its shareholders and providing its customers with the best quality products and services.

Not everyone could just drop what they were doing to watch the games, however. Most of us still had to trudge into work. That's where the Web came in. According to a July 2006 poll conducted by St. Bernard Software, more than half (54 percent) of the respondents admitted to watching the World Cup on streaming video at work. That could explain the bizarre screams coming from down the hall.
A similar poll done in May, also by St. Bernard, revealed that 85 percent of the 266 IT managers surveyed had no plans to block Internet access to World Cup footage. So productivity may have taken a hit during the games, but it's probably wise for employers to not try to stop the soccer madness. No sense getting those rowdy soccer fans all riled up.

In late July, hackers defaced Netscape.com's social networking site using
a cross site scripting attack. The relatively harmless attack was allegedly
launched by devotees of Digg.com, a competing networking site. Finnish security
vendor F-Secure first discovered the hack while researching cross-site scripting
vulnerabilities. The hackers used an XSS vulnerability to insert JavaScript
code into the Netscape homepage and other pages on the site.
The Digg diggers used cross-site scripting to show pop-up alerts with humorous (at least to the perpetrators) messages that redirected visitors to their site. Fortunately, there was no malicious code inserted or sensitive data stolen. Shortly after the attack, Netscape issued a statement explaining that the vulnerability had been patched and assuring visitors they were safe.
Worried about suffering a similar fate? The Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner
can automatically audit web applications. It determines whether or not they
are secure from potential vulnerabilities like this recent cross site scripting
attack. The company also offers free initial audits to help you determine your

A Dream of an Outsider
My name is Jo. The love of my life was in the Marine Corps for 4 long and
wonderful years of his life.
So wonderful that now 3 years later, his only hope is to re - enlist. He
was a marine police officer for his entire time in. He Loved it so very
much that his life time dream has been to Become a police officer. Although
when you are in this "real World" outside of a base where dreams and goals
aren't as Easy to appreciate and follow - they have a higher rate of
He began working at a bar about 2 years ago and has been There ever since.
Being a marine is the one thing he is so Proud of. I prey every night that
he will leave and return To the corp. Although i have never lived on a
marine base - I most definately am in love with a marine. I hope with all
My heart i will make it out there with the rest of you very Proud women.
I suppose the moral of my story is that no matter how hard It may be some
times - stand by your wonderful, brave men. Don't ever take a simple second
of your life for granted, Because for some of us - it's what we dream of.
God bless you all, and all of your wonderful stories!

Ours is a mixed household: I'm right-handed, my wife isn't.
I hesitate to call her left-handed because she does many things like a righty. This is not unusual among generally left-handed people, I understand. While I'm generally oblivious to the situation, it's more perplexing for her as we share a computer mouse, scissors and potato peelers, all of which favor a right-hander.
Left-handers are an exceptional minority in my mind. They seem to generally be more creative, more adaptable and have a likeable quirkiness. Your perception may be different.
Rick Mathews, the bullpen coach of the Colorado Rockies who I met when he was coaching baseball at a junior college in Iowa, once told me how much he loved having left-handed pitchers because their mental approach to the game gave them a competitive edge. Rick must love Pat Venditte, a truly ambidextrous pitcher in the Yankees organization. Check out this amazing video of a showdown between the switch-throwing pitcher and a switch-hitting batter.
Left-handedness is considered a virtue for a first baseman but left-handed catchers have appeared in only 11 major league baseball games since 1902. Current French Open and Wimbledon tennis champion Rafael Nadal is a left-handed player (although he does virtually everything else right-handed) but a left-handed standout in professional golf is a rarity.
On the other hand, three of the last four U.S. presidents were left-handers, as was the greatest guitarist of the rock & roll era, Jimi Hendrix.
Left-handers have their own day and it's coming up on Aug. 13. Famous left-handers also have their own web site. Do any southpaws stand out in your family history?

Sideboard Staff
(Complete Standings: Individual | Team)
Along the way, they managed to understand the format better than anyone else. Romao, "The Brazilian Huey", hadn't lost a single game in Standard Constructed going into the round of eight. He swept Tuomas Kotiranta. His first game loss was to Ostrovich. Their play baffled the spectators. They refused to counter card drawing spells. Fact or Fictions resolved all over the place. The only cards worth contesting were Psychatogs and Upheavals. Modern Psychatog was so packed with card drawing that it had to cut back on threats, and worse, counters. The Latin Americans exploited that weakness strategically, and it paid off.
His opponent in the finals was Mark Ziegner of Germany. Ziegner had been hot all weekend, and together with his German National Teammates took home the Team title moments before stepping into the Finals spotlight. They had defeated the United States, who ran four straight rounds of Team Rochester to force a playoff against Denmark for the right to appear in the finals. They won it, in one of the best underdog runs the game has seen. They faced the Germans, who they had defeated in the swiss. This time Germany took it.
So Ziegner was bouncing off the walls as he sat down to face Romao. They went the full five games, but Romao's strategic advantage combined with a deck that was better suited to the mirror match gave the final game to Romao. The audience erupted into cheers for the new Champ.
Not a bad way to make your mark on the Magic map. Not only win World Championships, but do so by being light-years ahead understanding the metagame's most important matchup. Congratulations to Carlos Eduardo Romao, 2002 Magic World Champion!

The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act, or SaVE Act, would amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 and expand the 1990 Jeanne Clery Act to "improve education and prevention related to campus sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking."
Co-sponsored by Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the SaVE Act (S. 835) would expand the framework of sexual assault education and victims' rights to include domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, and addresses the issue of how to define consent in sexual relationships. Schools would be required under the act to include sexual violence statistics in their annual crime reports. Colleges and universities would also be required to explain how to obtain protective orders and other victims' rights whenever a student reports being a victim of sexual violence.
Frankly, the fact that colleges are not already required to do such things as inform survivors of sexual violence about how to obtain a protective order should be disturbing and should move senators to vote for this act. However, the senate often does not do what they should. Here's hoping that the senate does the right thing this time.

Head Coach Jerry Smith, on the game: "We played a hard fought game. It was a fairly even game until late in the second half when USC scored the game-winning goal."
Smith, on USC's game-winning goal: "The winning goal was unfortunate, after we had played so well the entire game. Once the defense cleared the ball they did not realize that Kiki [Bosio] was down and leaving USC onsides closer to the goal."
Smith, on facing No. 21 Cal State Fullerton on Sunday: "Fullerton is a very talented top-25 squad. We played well today, so hopefully we can build upon today and see some good results at Fullerton."

ORLANDO, Fla. - A few years ago, that national treasure known as Christopher Walken saw something happening. To himself. And he was not pleased.
Every standup comic had a killer Christopher Walken impression.
His "Saturday Night Live" appearances had become the stuff of legend - and T-shirts. ("Gotta have more Cowbell!")
His image, his halting, mannered way of delivering a line, was overwhelming the actor behind it. His every screen appearance was accompanied by giggles of delicious anticipation.
Walken was fast becoming a punch line. He might be a beloved icon of big and small screen cool, but "icon" in his case was becoming "baggage." He's an Oscar winner, an actor's actor. And that was becoming a memory.
"Christopher Walken is to his co-stars what he is to me - a god of acting, of the American cinema," says the Irish playwright-turned-filmmaker Martin McDonagh. "He's a serious actor.
Some people tend to forget that."
So Walken, now 69, had to "step back ... from all that."
No, he can't talk without halting, without seeming to consider his words, even when they're scripted and he committed them to memory months before. In person, in interviews, the effect is exaggerated.
But he can control how often you hear it.
"With television, an actor has to be careful," Walken says. "So many people will see you doing something, that you become identified with that image, that version of yourself. I suppose... if you do one performance on 'Saturday Night Live,' more people will see it than see you in ten different movies. Particularly if you're doing the sort of small movies that I do. It's all-pervasive."
And if you poke fun of your image on "SNL" and elsewhere, there's a danger an actor could become a self-parody.
"It's like comics. They do TV, and they can't use those jokes again,"
Walken says. "So I had to stop doing it.
Sometimes, it's better to be a little...mysterious."
Walken is anything but a mystery this fall. He has three films due out. In "Late Quartet," he plays the ailing leader of a popular string quartet, a man whose retirement sets off a tug of war over who will replace him. In "Stand-Up Guys," he teams up with fellow screen legend Al Pacino.
And in "Seven Psychopaths," he lets writer-director McDonagh turn that recent image on its head, using Walken's natural charm and funny way with a line in a movie that is like every gonzo Chris Walken movie of yore. It's about a screenwriter (Colin Farrell) writing a script about "seven psychopaths," and the ways he invents, or meets, characters who match that description.
"He's such a great actor that the comedy is never funnier than when he's doing comedy," McDonagh ("In Bruges") says. "He can be sinister and menacing just as brilliantly.
"Technically," there's something kind of psychotic about Hans, his character in the film. But Hans is also the moral center of the film, the one who wants to show Colin Farrell's character the way - of peace, of pacifism. Hans makes it cool not to have a gun. To not fight violence with violence."
And real psychopaths, as Walken's character in the film reminds us, "can be tiresome."
"The entertainment value of psychopaths, of people who are surprising and unpredictable, is hard to beat," Walken muses. "I'm not really sure what a psychopath is. If I've ever met one, I'll bet...I don't know...but I'll BET...I left the room pretty quickly.
"When you're playing one, you cannot let yourself THINK of yourself as one. You just go about your business and let OTHER people say you're a psychopath."
He considers another thought.
"Somebody read me a dictionary...desCRIPTion of 'psychopath,' and it was all about an inability to empathize or have human connections.
Whatever that means."
That's never been a problem for Walken, who seems to have an innate ability to connect with viewers in all sorts of roles - heroes, lovably vile villains, Working Class Joes and not-so-innocent-bystanders. He works, a lot, but says he's at a loss when he doesn't know what his next part will be. He fell in with McDonagh's writing when they mounted the play "A Behanding in Spokane" in New York a couple of years ago. That co-starred Walken's "Seven Psychopaths" counterpart, Sam Rockwell.
Walken is an actor who loves his speeches. Think of his "your father's watch" monologue in "True Romance." He was drawn to "Psychopaths" by the chance to work with Rockwell again, and with Farrell and Woody Harrelson for the first time. And by McDonagh's speeches.
"He writes great big juicy chunks of dialogue. Movie scripts...don't usually give you a lot of interesting things to say. He's one of the rare writers... who sees that he does do that for his actors."
McDonagh says screenwriters of all stripes should love writing for Walken, famous for going over and over and over a script, and recording and re-recording his lines over and over, changing the emphasis, the rhythm and the music of the words until he can deliver each line with maximum impact.
"You go home, at the end of the day," McDonagh says. "You close the door, remember every line he said that day, and you go, 'I cannot BELIEVE I get to have Christopher Walken say my lines!'"

Torrington's Northwest Chamber of Commerce hosts candidates forum
WINSTED >> The Nov. 6 election will feature many familiar candidates, both Republican and Democrat, who can all agree on one topic: this year, the votes are about job growth and Connecticut's stymied economy.
Northwest Connecticut's Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidate forum Thursday morning, and despite the sparsely attended event inside Northwest Connecticut Community College's Founders Hall, the candidates had little to disagree about. Candidates for all the representative districts in northwest Connecticut were invited to the hour-long discussion, with questions stemming from the state's financial burdens to commercial and industrial property taxes, and prevailing wage to education and jobs bills.
Each candidate was provided with two minutes to answer the Chamber-posed questions, and rarely did answers significantly vary. It wasn't until the candidates loosened up and divulge how they would go about their ideas, did the answers stray from one another.
"We spent your money -- $1.1 billion -- in eight hours," said State Sen. Kevin Witkos, R-Canton, running for another term in Hartford. "That's something we can't afford.
"We need to live within our means," Witkos said later. "We have a great state of Connecticut and we need to make it better."
Witkos' opponent, Democrat Dan Seger, said the state has both a spending and revenue problem. His thought was to lower taxes to bring in additional business, which would add revenue to the state, while reducing spending.
State Rep. Clark Chapin, running for State Sen. Andrew Roraback's 30th district seat, said the unfunded mandates from Hartford to municipalities need to stop, adding that, "There's no doubt that municipalities are over-reliant on property taxes, and I don't blame them for that."
Democrat Bill Riiska, facing Chapin in the race, said discussing property taxes can't go without tackling other tax streams. Riiska pointed to educational cost sharing for school districts, regionalization of services, and to "address" the prevailing wage discussion hindering the wallets of smaller municipalities.
In the 65th representative race, current State Rep. Michelle Cook, a Democrat from Torrington, said she's dedicated to "do this full-time. I believe those residents and constituents deserve a person in a full-time position." Cook, who voted for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's highest tax increase in state history, added, "Taxes went up, but that's not our intention. We (state and municipalities) need to work together."
Cook will again go head-to-head with Torrington Republican Wendy Traub, who was a graduate of the community college hosting the program, and who told the crowd that her background in business and accounting will make her the best choice. A lifelong resident of Torrington and former Board of Education and Board of Finance member, Traub said she "understands what it takes to run a budget on the municipal level.
"I'm not going to promise to create jobs," Traub said. "Because the job of a legislator isn't to create jobs. It's to get out of the way to make room for job creation."

append-*flags: revert to old behavior where we always append the flags specified rather than doing testing on them; it is not feasible to handle flags that have spaces in them #417047
filter-mfpmath: handle "both" and "387+sse" forms #349172 by Kacper Kowalik
Don't check for twice, but check for redirect support, #445244; thanks Andrey Hippo for the patch
Add fix for nen gnu compiler which use -x as command line arg internally, #445244

test-flag-PROG: read from stdin rather than directly from /dev/null as some compiler driver versions cannot handle that #443778
test-flags-PROG: use arrays to simplify code a bit
test-flags: set the lang according to the compiler we are using rather than always testing the C frontend so that we can handle language-specific flags correctly #439914 by Alphat-PC

Allow header and library paths flags in setup-allowed-flags(), bug #414641
Update Intel/AMD instruction sets for 4.7.
Add -mfloat-abi=* to ALLOWED_FLAGS (bug #419615 by Hector Martin).
fix moronic syntax error in previous commit
also warn on -Wl, flags passed to append-flags
Sort ldflags handling functions to logic place
warn when people add preprocessor/linker flags with `append-flags`
Adds CCASFLAGS to list of flags which are filtered
quote single flag arg to test-flag-PROG since we are only testing one flag, and we want to handle any weirdness in that flag (such as spaces) #399055
unify duplicated lists of variable names and duplicated code blocks, and try to clean up code a bit
mark has_m32 as dead since no one uses it, and mark has_m64 as a warning until xalan-c gets fixed #398855
delete dead funcs
have filter-flags filter out LDFLAGS too #395619
Clean up setup-allowed-flags().
Remove UNSTABLE_FLAGS. Keyword status should not determine what flags are used. Move -Os to allowed flags as it's been stable since 4.0ish and drop -O0 because it breaks things a lot.
relocate tests to tests/ subdir
avoid multiple inclusions when possible to speed caching up
allow -mx32 ABI flag
move away from $* to "$@" to pass args sanely
Test that appended flags are valid. This allows people to add flags that were unsupported in earlier releases without needing to do version checking.
document optional args to raw-ldflags
add pointer to docs in append-lfs-flags too
test the actual # of args and not whether their expansion is an empty string
document what each LFS flag does exactly
use -c rather than -S when testing flags so that we can check for assembler flags and not just compiler flags (which lets use check -Wa,--xxx flags #373743)
turn `ewarn` for dead flags into `die`
Allow -fpermissive.
Add -mfloat-gprs, -mspe, and -mno-spe for bug #353008 and new flags for 4.6.
Add 4.5 -mno-* flags to exception list.
Add append-libs() function
Remove last of bindnow-flags.
New function: no-as-needed which returns the value to disable asneeded, for GNU ld only at this time.
quote ~ when checking unstable arches to avoid home expansion #281311 by Florian Manschwetus
Bug #281311 - Escape ~ inside strip-flags().

Only append flags in _filter-hardened if they are valid
Fix typo, there is no gcc-specs-ssp-all function
neuter bindnow-flags even more
Add some fno-strict-overflow stuff we missed. Thanks Magnus Granberg (Zorry).
gcc emits -fstrict-overflow on '>gcc-4.2' need to be able to disable that and pass -U to undefine bad defines - http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.2/changes.html
do not filter TOC related flags for ppc64
Also declare new_FFLAGS and new_FCFLAGS as arrays in replace-flags(). Bug #234249.
[Fortran] Add Fortran support to filter-flags(), append-flags(), is-flagq(), strip-flags(), strip-unsupported-flags(), get-flag(). Add new functions parallel to existing ones for Fortran: append-fflags(), test-flag-F77(), test-flags-FC().
Warn when using append-ldflags to pass libraries to link to. Libraries shouldn't be passed as LDFLAGS, the flags should be passed before the object files to link, while libraries should be passed after. Passing libraries through LDFLAGS is one of the causes of --as-needed failures.
redirect the ewarn message to stderr
add eclass documentation #210394 by mren
Add -W* and -w to ALLOWED_FLAGS.
allow -fno-strict-aliasing in strip-flags as pointed out by nyhm
add new function append-cppflags and support CPPFLAGS a little better
add -gstabs to allowed flag list #169352
declare/shuffle around maintainers
allow all CPPFLAGS -D* in strip-flags #159402
dont filter -msecure-plt
rewrite some the flag handling functions to be simpler and to fix introducing extraneous whitespace
move gcc2-flags() to the gcc2 ebuild
Apply whitespace checks from repoman to eclasses.
allow -mschedule for hppa
rewrite filter-mfpmath a bit to avoid executing external programs like tr and to fix error #136800
document maintainers
allow -fno-ident #129763 by Nicholas Doyle
disable prefetch-loop-arrays for unstable #64979
Reworked filter-flags to be more consistent; factored out common code to _filter-var()
Replaced "addwrite /dev/stderr" and ">/dev/stderr" which fail with FEATURES=userpriv, with ">&2" which works in all cases.
make sure we translate , into spaces for raw ldflags
add a raw-ldflags so people can pass $LDFLAGS straight to `ld`
Apply whitespace checks from repoman to eclasses.
Comment fix.
Split test-flags() into CC and CXX versions.
In replace-sparc64-cflags, we need local 'SPARC64_CPUS="ultrasparc3 ultrasparc v9"'. Without the ultrasparc3 at the beginning of the list, in some cases, we can end up with '-mcpu=ultrasparc3' ==> '-mcpu=v83', and subsequently, package configure can fail. Problem arose from mozilla and a particular set lf CFLAGS.
Fix deprecated warnings breaking sandbox, bug #114905.
*** empty log message ***
need to declare x as a local var in strip-unsupported-flags so we dont pollute callers env ... also touchup syntax there and in has_m32
Added bindnow-flags function to find out the right flags to enable now binding on GNU and non-GNU linkers.
add some sanity checks to make sure people use these functions correctly
deprecate has_hardened/pic/pie/ssp/ssp_all in favour of gcc-specs-* from toolchain-funcs modify has_ssp/has_ssp_all to also try gcc-spec-ssp (for bug #90311 and bug #100902)

Add -mieee -mieee-with-inexact to ALLOWED_FLAGS, esp. for alpha
Remove ECLASS= and INHERITED= which haven't been necessary for a long time now
Remove ECLASS= and INHERITED= which haven't been necessary for a long time now
remove pointless USE=debug usage and move all the ABI flags into shared setup
- update has_pic to not test for pie. add has_ssp_all and comments. Kevin F. Quinn
filter mtune -> mcpu with gcc2 #88147
fix bug in stripping ldflags when you stripped the only item
- improved fPIC/fPIE handling now that the hardened-toolchain is alot less haskish. obsoleted etexec-flags function
- flag-o-matic updates from kevin quinn that handle pic/ssp detection
Make has_m32 and has_m64 return true for amd64 multilib profiles.
Setting up ppc specific ALLOWED_FLAGS with the first being -mabi.
Added -m{32,64} to allowed flags on sparc.
mips does need to auto append -fno-PIC/-nopie in the etexec function when ebuilds filter-flags -fPIC
allow debugging flags through strip-flags
use $(tc-getCC)
Fixed has_m{32,64}(). Both functions use tc-getCC() now, thus inheriting toolchain-funcs.
move gcc2-flags out of gcc.eclass and into flag-o-matic
dont output to /dev/null, use a temp file instead
Add support for other classes of MIPS cpus.
reverse parameter order of replace-cpu-flags #60597
update has_hardened for GCC_SPECS support
add -fno-stack-protector and -fno-pie to allowed flags
make is-flag work for globs
cockblock amd64 from the -fno-pic logic, as it will randomly break stuff
back out the generic -fno and -mno filters and add a list of ABI related / -mno- flags
update replace-flags to use atom code from filter-flags, related to #42006. Also add ${IUSE} to IUSE for the sake of portage .50 users, which is basically all of them at the moment
dont strip out -fno- and -mno- related flags
revert some QA done on the multilib checks so that they work again
Fix bug 56662: make filter-flags work properly with globs
update the copyright info
make sure CFLAGS are exported rather than just set #55092
- Localize variables in functions - Rewrite test_flag to honor ${CC} - Add function test_version_info to run ${CC} --version and look for patterns - Use printf instead of echo in situations where flags are being printed. This avoids the possibility that echo will interpret the flags, for example -n - Modify has_hardened, has_pic, has_pie to use test_version_info. This also fixes mistakes in ${var/pattern} expressions; many patterns in this eclass were erroneously written to be regular expressions instead of globs. - Modify has_m64, has_m32 to use test_flag
i almost forgot to use ${CC/ .*/} instead of calling gcc directly... that would have made the embedded/cross devs unhappy with me ^^;
added has_m64 and has_m32 to flag-o-matic. this should make checking for multilib as simple as has_m64 && has_m32 on all multilib archs other than mips.
fix IUSE so that emerge -pv works again
QA loving.. flag-o-matic has use debug && do_stuff, but had a missing IUSE=debug
prevent etexec-flags function from rewriting CFLAGS when not using the hardened compiler. bug #52286
add -fno-unit-at-a-time to the global list of allowed flags
add -m32 to the list of allowed flags on x86 so that -march=k8 and -mtune=k8 can be used on amd64 machines in 32bit without accidentally producing 64bit code
added new switches for enabling and suppressing hardened PIE/SSP building
change use syntax to the right form
support cflags -nopie
trimmed down etexec-flags and fstack-flags
hardened flag-o fixes
allow $ALLOWED_FLAGS to be overridden in ebuilds #47140
fix small thinko in flag-o-matic.eclass has_pie
update flag-o-matic.eclass with has_{pic,pie,ssp}, firstname.lastname@example.com
long needed filter-ldflags function thanks to Christian Rubbert bug #44825
add filter-lfs-flags
filter -pie along with fpie
include -mtune in the list
add replace-cpu-flags to help tone down march/mcpu flags make sure filter-flags/replace-flags catch multiple copies of a flag (for example, if user has -msse -msse -msse and we try to `filter-flags -msse`, we would catch only the first one before)
move ALLOWED_FLAGS/UNSTABLE_FLAGS out of global scope since only one or two functions use them change filter-mfpmath to use other flag-o-matic functions instead of its own code change instances of $@ to "$@" to provide better quoting update replace-flags to only work on flag atoms add more comments for people to understand the code remove trailing space in etexec-flags/fstack-flags

Allow -g in strip-flags
added get-flag function
closes bug #9337
add strip-flags() to flag-o-matic.eclass
add an is-flag function that returns true if its parameter exists in or
add INHERITED variable to all eclasses. this keeps track of what eclasses were inherited. e.g. INHERITED='kde-base kde base'. this will allow drobbins to take eclass mtime changes into account when deciding whether to refresh ebuild cache.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is more common during pregnancy than in the general population, occurring at a 2-3 times higher prevalence. While iron, genetics, and central nervous system dopamine have been shown to play major roles in RLS unrelated to pregnancy, the etiology and treatment of RLS during pregnancy have not been adequately delineated. We describe a novel approach where a 23-year-old female was given intravenous iron prior to pregnancy, with complete remission of RLS symptoms until five months postpartum. Factors other than iron status that may have influenced the course of remission and relapse were oral contraceptive use, antidepressant use, and a strong family history of RLS.
Picchietti DL; Wang VC; Picchietti MA. Intravenous iron given prior to pregnancy for restless legs syndrome is associated with remission of symptoms. J Clin Sleep Med 2012;8(5):585-586.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disorder, is 2-3 times more prevalent during pregnancy than in the general population,1–4 with peak prevalence in the third trimester and resolution of symptoms for many by one month after delivery.1 Independent predictors of RLS during pregnancy are a past history of RLS when not pregnant, a family history of RLS, a history of RLS during prior pregnancy, and hemoglobin ≤ 11 g/dL.2 Preexisting RLS also predicts greater severity during pregnancy than before pregnancy.3 More than half of women affected during pregnancy report severe or very severe RLS symptoms.4
A 23-year-old female presented for management of chronic, moderate-to-severe RLS prior to becoming pregnant. Diagnosis was at age 19, but she recalled RLS symptoms since early childhood. Family history was positive for moderate-to-severe RLS with periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) affecting her biological mother and younger sister. For one year prior to the visit the patient reported consistently bothersome RLS symptoms that occurred most nights, associated with sleep disturbance, daytime fatigue, and PLMS observed by her husband. She took citalopram 20 mg/day because of depression with anxiety and panic attacks since age 16 years, with good control of those symptoms. The patient was also on levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ferrous sulfate (65 mg elemental iron). Oral iron had been started 3 months prior to the visit when her serum ferritin was low at 15 mcg/L. At the initial visit ferrous sulfate was replaced with extended-release iron due to gastrointestinal discomfort (daily dose 100 mg elemental). In addition, citalopram was replaced with fluoxetine 20 mg/day, because more is known about its use during pregnancy.
One month later ferritin had increased to 23 mcg/L, but 1.5 months after that was only 28 mcg/L with a high total iron binding capacity of 527 mcg/dL (normal 250-400) and borderline low saturation of 15% (normal 15-50), indicating ongoing iron deficiency; hemoglobin was 14.8 g/dL (normal 11.0-16.0). However, RLS symptoms were notably improved with these changes and concurrent discontinuation of the oral contraceptive pill (OCP) for planned pregnancy (Figure 1). Nonetheless, because of concern about potential worsening of RLS during pregnancy and limited progress in improving her iron status with oral iron, intravenous iron sucrose 1,125 mg was given in 5 treatments over 7 days. She became pregnant the week following the last treatment. Ferritin rose to 347 mcg/L, and RLS symptoms remitted completely within 1 month of intravenous iron.
RLS, restless legs syndrome; IV, intravenous; OCP, oral contraceptive pill.
Serum ferritin levels before, during, and after first pregnancy of a young woman with preexisting moderate-to-severe RLSRLS, restless legs syndrome; IV, intravenous; OCP, oral contraceptive pill.
(more ...)
The patient remained on fluoxetine and took a daily prenatal vitamin during the pregnancy, delivering a healthy, full-term girl by caesarean section. At a sleep clinic visit 7 weeks postpartum, she reported continued full remission of RLS symptoms and full control of depression and anxiety; ferritin was 51 mcg/L. She resumed daily oral iron (100 mg elemental). However, 5 months postpartum with ferritin at 62 mcg/L, RLS symptoms relapsed coincident with restarting of the OCP. Nonetheless, RLS symptoms were mild and manageable over the following 2 years with ferritin in the 60-100 mcg/L range (Figure 1). She remained on fluoxetine (20 mg/day), iron, and the OCP, with good control of depression and anxiety as well.
The etiology of RLS during pregnancy has not been adequately defined.5 Although there is convincing evidence for a major role of iron deficiency in the pathophysiology of RLS for non-pregnant individuals, and demands on iron stores during pregnancy are significant,6 serum ferritin levels have not been found to be lower in pregnant women with RLS compared to controls.7–9 Also, the rapid improvement in RLS postpartum is difficult to account for by total iron stores, which typically remain low postpartum.6–8 However, iron availability may be as important as total iron stores. Postpartum, maternal red blood cell (RBC) mass contracts and approximately 450 mg of iron rapidly becomes available for other uses.6 During pregnancy, the developing fetus and placenta, as well as expanding maternal RBC mass, draw down iron stores and compete with other tissues for iron, potentially decreasing availability to the brain of the remaining stored iron.6 Lower ferritin levels prepartum suggest that women who develop RLS start out at a disadvantage.9 In addition, lower hemoglobin during pregnancy2,7 suggests that women with RLS during pregnancy may be at a disadvantage in the competition for iron. Treatment with iron before pregnancy can boost brain iron before there is intensified competition for available iron.
Estrogen has been postulated as a factor for RLS during pregnancy but evidence is conflicting.7,8 Recently, a prospective study found estrogen use to be an independent risk factor predicting incident RLS in women.10
This case illustrates some interesting issues regarding the possible etiology and treatment of RLS related to pregnancy. While intravenous iron administration and a rise in serum ferritin to 347 mcg/L were associated with full remission of RLS, RLS symptoms had improved significantly prior to that coincident with a modest rise in ferritin from 15 to 28 mcg/L, coupled with discontinuation of an OCP and switching from citalopram to fluoxetine.11 Surprisingly, there were no RLS symptoms during the second or third trimester. However, mild relapse occurred five months postpartum coincident with resumption of the OCP, despite a ferritin level of 62 mcg/L and no other changes in medication. Overall, these findings suggest benefit from intravenous iron prior to pregnancy but that more than one factor may mediate the expression of RLS.
Iron treatment for non-pregnancy, "idiopathic" RLS is typically recommended when serum ferritin is below 50 mcg/L, based on the results of placebo-controlled oral and IV iron trials.12 This is in contrast to the "normal" range of 11-307 mcg/L when considering treatment for iron deficiency anemia. However, there are no specific guidelines for iron treatment of RLS during pregnancy. In this case of known, moderate-to-severe RLS we chose to boost iron stores prior to pregnancy with IV iron, when oral iron was not successful in raising serum ferritin to above 50 mcg/L.
This was not an industry supported study. The authors have indicated no financial conflicts of interest.

Monitoring User/Application Activity with psacct
June 23, 2011 Leave a comment Go to comments
One of the big advantages of using psacct on your server is that it provides excellent logging for activities of applications and users. When you are running scripts one of the important aspects of that script is how much resources it may be using and are there any resource limitations that may exist with the application. In addition, there may be times when you run a script as a user. In other words, you create a user with specific rights, maybe even using visudo. You will likely use this to reduce the security risks of a user who must issue a command with root privileges.

|Women's Track Members on Athletic Director's Honor Roll
Niaimani Aduma, So.
* Dean's List
RICHMOND, Va. – The hard work that the VCU track team put in on the track in the fall has been proven with the record-breaking performances that the Rams are putting forth each weekend. What most people don't know is that at the same time, the teams have been working just as hard in the classroom.
|Men's Track Members on Athletic Director's Honor Roll
Josh Bostick, Jr.*
* Dean's List
"As a coaching staff, we've really tried to focus on recruiting good, solid athletes that can perform both in the classroom and in their events," Head Coach Jon Riley said.
The fall semester proved that Riley and his staff are finding those student-athletes with 35 members of the track program being named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, with 15 of those also earning Dean's List accolades.
"We're very proud of our student-athletes achievements in the classroom," Riley said. "I glow when I see our athletes succeed academically. It is a wonderful accomplishment for our program. We can and will do better, so I challenge every athlete to dig down deep and try a little harder each day."
Junior Josh Bostick from the men's team, along with sophomore Christina Garland, freshman Kelsey Grupp and seniors Stephanie Newing and Nicole Walters from the women's team all finished the fall semester with a perfect 4.0 grade-point-average.

Since 1997, an interactive forum for the discussion of musical instrument design, construction, and repair
Charlie Schultz wrote:Thanks for the input Jon. There do seem to be some automatic photo resizers out there for phpBB, but it may take me a while to look and test them (most of them just shrink the pixel dimensions and don't actually affect the file size). In the meantime, would 150k solve most of your problems?
Nathan Noel wrote:How about a specific blueprint build (with license to appointments, e.g. Hardware, inlay, personalization items like headstock design.)... no more of the touchy feely, everyone can participate in their own way and everyone's a winner stuff. Luthierie Competition... Best Execution within the parameters kinda thing.
Jason Rodgers wrote:These are all such good ideas; enough for a couple years' worth of Challenges. Maybe we just need to keep it broad and let everyone mix and match ideas at will. $100 Acoustic Challenge or $100 Electric Challenge, otherwise we'll never get started! (Well, I'll never get started anyways... maybe we need another Orphaned Instrument Challenge!)
Between the switchover to the new Forum, and the fact that only 6 members actually completed the challenge, I guess the awards got lost in between.

In my own work history, in social work, when I have met my customers the most important themes almost without exceptions are social involvement and combating social exclusion.
Aim for the EY 2010
My aim for year 2010 is to raise awareness on mental disorders and get therapy and services for persons acting violently. I believe that a theme that connects all of us ambassadors is to help those who have been left alone for some reason.
Why I became an ambassador: First I was little confused when I was asked to become an ambassador. After I examined the themes of the EY 2010, that is combating poverty and social exclusion, I feel that this is my mission.
