text: Messenger - Vol. 3, No. 3, Page 13 Spring 1994 Making a sculptural statement with jewelry To most people, a piece of jewelry's worth is determined by how much gold or how many precious gems it contains. Helen Mason, '84M, an artist from Hockessin, Del., who creates "wearable art," disagrees. "The commitment to jewelry as a sculptural statement, recognizing the artistic merit rather than the value of its material...is my primary objective," says Mason, who has exhibited large and small sculptures in galleries across the United States and in Japan. In March, her creations were displayed on campus as part of the annual Delaware Women's Conference. Mason originally studied print graphics and painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University. After raising three children and traveling for several years, Mason grew curious about three-dimensional art. Working toward a master of fine arts at the University of Delaware while an apprentice of nationally known Delaware sculptor Charles Parks, Delaware '50, she developed her skills first with stone, then clay, then the mixed materials she uses today. Mason was particularly drawn to jewelry because she loves to wear it and because she feels more in control of smaller pieces than larger ones. She also finds wearable art important artistically because of the "spiritual connection between the creator and the wearer...The body serves as a pedestal for the pieces," bringing creator, piece and wearer together, she says. Traditionally, jewelry-making is considered a craft. However, Mason says she feels that her work crosses the boundaries between fine art and craft because the design of a piece is just as important, if not more important, than the technique involved in making it. "In my work," she says, "I do not differentiate between jewelry and sculpture. Both share the same artistic importance." Most of Mason's sculptures are composed of several materials, ranging from traditional gold and precious stones to the unconventional and unexpected, such as Teflon, aluminum and rubber. "I want the design to be important, the materials unimportant," she says. Mason once created a sculpture featuring cinnamon sticks. "I was in my kitchen," she recalls, "and the shape caught my eye." Using non- traditional materials gives her greater freedom to produce innovative designs, she says. Mason's designs are heavily influenced by Minimalism and Japanese art, both of which stress simplicity and order. The Japanese influence on her art increased tremendously in 1986, when she studied in Japan under a National Endowment for the Arts/Delaware State Arts Council grant. She found she could take traditional Japanese forms and symbols and adapt them by changing colors or materials. Many of her designs include bundles, layers, folds or gathers, all of which are found in Japanese art; however, no traditional Japanese artist ever created these designs in, for instance, ivory and rubber. The color black is another Japanese element that figures prominently in Mason's work. In Japan, it symbolizes mystery; for Mason, it also signifies night, when she likes to work, and it provides a quiet backdrop for the drama of her designs. Ten years after earning her MFA, Mason is still producing simple, wearable art, though she may turn to larger sculpture in the future. "I keep changing from one phase to another," she says. Whatever direction her work follows, Mason says she will take with her the self-discipline and desire for excellence she learned working with art professors Victor Spinski and Anne K. Graham at the University. Mason says she was once told that business professionals go downhill as they get older, but artists can always become better and better. Mason is looking forward to many years of becoming better. "I am happy to continue growing," she says. -Pam Miller, Delaware '94

Testimony on the Financial Stability Oversight Council
by Robert Cook, Director, Division of Trading and Markets
Before the United States House of Representatives Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations
Thursday, April 14, 2011
Thank you for the opportunity to testify on behalf of the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission1 regarding the Financial Stability Oversight Council ("FSOC" or the "Council"). FSOC was created by Title I of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank Act") and has 10 voting members: the senior officials at each of the nine federal financial regulators2 and an independent member with insurance expertise appointed by the President. FSOC's composition also includes five nonvoting advisory members: three from various state financial regulators3 as well as the Directors of the new Federal Insurance Office and Office of Financial Research ("OFR").4
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress has given FSOC the following primary responsibilities:
In fulfilling its responsibilities, FSOC is charged with identifying and designating certain nonbank financial companies as systemically important financial institutions ("SIFIs") for heightened prudential supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board").6 In addition, FSOC may make recommendations to the Federal Reserve Board concerning the establishment and refinement of heightened prudential standards for firms designated under the SIFI process and large, interconnected bank holding companies already supervised by the Federal Reserve Board.7 Such recommendations may address, among other things, risk-based capital, leverage, liquidity, contingent capital, resolution plans and credit exposure reports, concentration limits, enhanced public disclosures and overall risk management.8 In addition, FSOC must identify and designate financial market utilities ("FMUs") and payment, clearing, and settlement activities that are, or are likely to become, systemically important.9
The recent financial crisis demonstrated the potential for risks to quickly spread across the financial sector and undermine general confidence in the financial system. To address issues of "siloed" information and the potential for regulatory arbitrage, another key responsibility of FSOC is to monitor the financial markets and regulatory framework to identify gaps, weaknesses and risks and make recommendations to address those issues to its member agencies and to Congress.10 In addition, by combining the information resources of its member agencies and working with the OFR, FSOC is responsible for facilitating the collection and sharing of information about risks across the financial system.11
FSOC Activities Update
Since passage of the Dodd-Frank Act, FSOC has taken steps to create an organizational structure, coordinate interagency efforts, and build the foundation for meeting its statutory responsibilities. In the weeks leading up to the inaugural October 1, 2010 meeting of the principals of the FSOC agencies, staff from the Treasury Department coordinated interagency staff work to establish by-laws and develop a transparency policy. During that period, FSOC also formed several interagency committees to address specific statutory requirements.
Designation of Systemically Important Financial Institutions
To begin defining and implementing the process to identify and designate SIFIs for heightened supervision by the Federal Reserve Board, FSOC established a SIFI designations committee and several staff subcommittees to tackle specific tasks.
On October 6, 2010, FSOC issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking soliciting public comment on the specific criteria and analytical framework for the SIFI designation process, with a focus on how to apply the statutory considerations for such designations. FSOC received over 50 comment letters from trade associations, financial firms, individuals, and others. These comment letters included views on the designation process itself, as well as suggestions on the specific criteria and metrics to be used and the frameworks for their application.
On January 26, 2011, FSOC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking regarding the SIFI designation process. The proposed rule describes the criteria that will inform – and the processes and procedures established under the Dodd-Frank Act for – designations by FSOC. Such criteria would be rooted in the eleven (11) statutory considerations set forth in the Dodd-Frank Act for such designations, and would include, among other considerations, a firm's size, leverage, liquidity risk, maturity mismatch, and interconnectedness with other financial firms. The proposed rule also implements certain other provisions of the designation process, including: (1) the anti-evasion authority of FSOC; (2) procedures for notice of, and the opportunity for a hearing on, a proposed determination; and (3) procedures regarding consultation, coordination, and judicial review in connection with a determination.
Designation of Systemically Important Financial Market Utilities
FMUs are essential to the proper functioning of the nation's financial markets.12 These utilities form critical links among marketplaces and intermediaries that can strengthen the financial system by reducing counterparty credit risk among market participants, creating significant efficiencies in trading activities, and promoting transparency in financial markets. However, FMUs by their nature create and concentrate new risks that could affect the stability of the broader financial system. To address these risks, Title VIII of the Dodd-Frank Act provides important new enhancements to the regulation and supervision of FMUs designated as systemically important by FSOC ("DFMUs") and of payment, clearance and settlement activities. This enhanced authority in Title VIII should provide consistency, promote robust risk management and safety and soundness, reduce systemic risks, and support the stability of the broader financial system.13 Importantly, the enhanced authority in Title VIII is designed to be in addition to the authority and requirements of the Securities Exchange Act and Commodity Exchange Act that may apply to FMUs and financial institutions that conduct designated activities.14
FSOC established an interagency DFMU committee to develop a framework for the designation of systemically important FMUs, in which staff from the SEC has actively participated. On December 21, 2010, FSOC published an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking seeking public comment on the designation process for FMUs. In response, FSOC received 12 comment letters from industry groups, advocacy and public interest groups, individual FMUs and financial institutions. Among other things, commenters generally encouraged the development of metrics and an analytical framework to further define the statutory considerations for designation contained in Title VIII, and also emphasized the need for FSOC to apply consistent standards for all FMUs under consideration for designation that incorporate both qualitative and quantitative factors.
On March 28, 2011, FSOC published a notice of proposed rulemaking to provide further information on the process it proposed to follow when reviewing the systemic importance of FMUs. FSOC is considering using a two-stage process for evaluating FMUs prior to a vote on a proposed designation by the Council. The first stage would consist of a largely data-driven process to identify a preliminary set of FMUs whose failure or disruption could potentially threaten the stability of the U.S. financial system. In the second stage, FMUs so identified would be subject to a more in-depth review, with a greater focus on qualitative factors and FMU- and market-specific considerations. Under the proposal, the Council expects to use the statutory considerations as a base for assessing the systemic importance of FMUs.15 Application of this framework, however, would be adapted for the risks presented by a particular type of FMU and business model.
Systemic Risk Assessment
In addition to initiating work on the identification of SIFIs and DFMUs, FSOC has established a Systemic Risk Committee that seeks to identify, highlight and review possible risks that could develop across the financial system. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires FSOC to report annually to Congress regarding these risks,16 and we expect the work of this committee will inform that report.
Other Activities
In addition to seeking to identify possible risks in the financial system, FSOC was required under Section 619(b) of the Dodd Frank Act to study and make recommendations on implementing the Act's restrictions on proprietary trading, commonly referred to as the "Volcker rule," to achieve certain goals enumerated in the statute, including:
On October 6, 2010, FSOC published a notice and request for information. In response, it received more than 8,000 comment letters, including approximately 1,450 letters that set forth individual perspectives from market participants, Congress, and the public.
On January 18, 2011, FSOC released its study and recommendations on implementation of the Volcker rule. The study recommends the creation of rules and a supervisory framework that effectively prohibit proprietary trading activities throughout "banking entities" – as defined by the Dodd-Frank Act – and appropriately distinguish prohibited proprietary trading from statutorily described permitted activities. The recommended supervisory framework consists of a programmatic compliance regime, metrics, supervisory review and oversight, and enforcement procedures for violations for the respective regulatory agencies conducting supervisory review and oversight. In addition, the study identified potential challenges in delineating prohibited proprietary trading activities from permitted activities, including potential difficulties in determining whether a position was taken in anticipation of near term customer demand or for speculative purposes.
The study also recognizes that effective oversight by the agencies will require specialized skills and be resource intensive. For example, the study notes agencies will need additional resources to develop appropriate data points, build infrastructure to obtain and review information, and hire and train additional staff with quantitative and market expertise to identify and investigate outliers and questionable trading activity.
Next Steps
While FSOC has made substantial progress in taking up its new responsibilities, its efforts are ongoing, and much remains to be done. Some of the most challenging issues regarding the potential designation of systemically important financial institutions and FMUs lie ahead, and public input both generally on this process – and specifically with respect to the notices of proposed rulemaking – will be critically important. In addition, as Dodd-Frank implementation proceeds, the coordination of the FSOC agencies will continue to be a vital consideration. We look forward to continuing to work closely with Congress as implementation continues, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Were I to create an application that uses, say, GTK for the interface the protected expression is my "unique and creative" use of the GTK API for creating the specific interface and any other code I have written using the API. I hold sole license to the copyright on that code and am able to license said code under the specific license of my choice.Why? Because the pre-processor is what is including any GPL'd code in my application and expanding any macros. That is a purely mechanical process and hence the output is not able to be separately copyrighted - if it could be, then the copyright would be held by the *COMPILER*, and I am *NOT* bound by the license on that code. The same applies if GPL'd code is included in my application during the linking process. QED: The "Linking" argument used by most people is wholly fallacious in at least one major country - and if I'm not mistaken, the output from an automated process is similarly not considered as carrying a separate copyright in all nations that are signatories of or follow the Bern Convention.(And yes, this also applies to some GPL'd tools that RMS extended "GPL Exemptions" to - such as "Bison". There is, generally, no need for such an exemption, because the process by which the GPL'd code is included in the final binary is wholly mechanical.)DRHPS: The above information is a very condensed form of the result of several past conversations on this list about copyright law and the GPL as well as my own, private discussions with lawyers. I'm being lazy here and not searching various archives of LKML to give pointers to the past discussions.-- Dialup is like pissing through a pipette. Slow and excruciatingly painful.

Have you ever made it through an entire day without muttering under your breath about your stress level? If you have, then good for you…but I think you're a liar. Or maybe, just maybe, you've discovered the secret of dealing with daily stress. In fact, dealing with daily stress IS the solution. You don't sweep it under the rug, you don't think that there is no solution, and you don't let it build up. You manage it. Slowly and gradually, you learn simple steps that help you control the way your mind and body respond to daily, unexpected troubles and worries. And sometimes a little outside stress relief, aka those multi-colored stress balls, does actually help ease the tension.
Those silly stress balls that people purchase work for one specific reason. It's called progressive muscular relaxation. The tightening of the muscles as you squeeze followed by the release of muscle tension as you let go allows your muscles to relax and actually release some of the tension in your body that builds up when faced with stressful situations. However, the stress ball is actually negotiable to the process, as squeezing your hand into a fist and then releasing would actually evoke the same response. In fact, you can train yourself to tighten and release various muscle groups throughout your body. But those cute little stress gadgets are helpful even if only for the sheer fact that believing they help you cope with stress can actually help you release your tension. After all, it is mind over matter.

His first visit to England in 1875, aged 19, when he stayed with relations in Manchester and then went beachcombing and rock pool hunting at Blackpool, was also his first sight of the sea.
"One feels oneself like a hero who has performed deeds of improbable greatness," he wrote.
A selection of his travel letters will go on display from tomorrow in the museum at his last London home, along with an exhibition of contemporary art inspired by one word in his 1908 letter from Blackpool - "Reisemalheurs", the woes of travel. The shock in the Blackpool letter was that apart from damp cravats and straw hats, there were no woes. "He was an unambivalent anglophile," said museum curator Michael Molnar. "He really loved England and English culture."
In The Interpretation of Dreams, Freud wrote of one based on strong memories of his earliest visit to Blackpool, "a whole day on the shore of the Irish sea", when "a charming little girl" asked him if he had found a starfish and inquired whether it was still alive.
" 'Yes', I replied, 'he is alive', and at once, embarrassed at my mistake, repeated the sentence correctly."
Freud was an ardent but notoriously anxious traveller, with a particular neurosis about visiting Rome, where he felt he might be overwhelmed by the weight of history and culture. When he finally got there he wrote, headed "midday, opposite the Pantheon", to his wife: "This is what I have been afraid of for years." He first went to America in 1909, as part of a sort of psychoanalysts' roadshow with fellow pioneers Sandor Ferenczi and Carl Jung. Freud joked that it was just a holiday, that he was going to see a porcupine; the American analyst JJ Putnam gave him a present of a little metal porcupine, which sat on his desk for the rest of his life, and is included in the exhibition. On their first night in New York he sent his wife a postcard of the new Park Row skyscraper, the tallest in the world when built, with the message: "I do not let myself be impressed, bearing in mind that I have already seen so much that is more beautiful, though of course nothing bigger or wider."
The travel letters have never before been exhibited, or translated into English, though Mr Molnar has co-edited a volume in German, and has translated some for the exhibition: "They are a wonderful resource. Some are just notes but many are real travel reporting. It is surprising that they have not received more attention." Some original letters and many postcards are in the museum collection at the Hampstead house where Freud and his family lived after escaping the Nazis in 1938. He died a year later, but the house remained a home for his youngest daughter, Anna, until her death in 1982. Hundreds more letters to his family and friends, showing the father of psychoanalysis in startlingly jaunty mood - he admired Hyde Park, but contrasted the nice babies with their "fantastically ugly nurses" - are in the Library of Congress in Washington.
The exhibition of paintings by the South African-born, New York-based artist Vivienne Koorland takes its title and its inspiration from the word Reisemalheurs. Her mother, a Polish Jew, was sent as a frightened teenager to South Africa, and her grandparents died in concentration camps.
The family history, and her own life, with work and relatives scattered across the globe, make her very sympathetic to Freud's anxious ambivalence about travel. One canvas is filled by one phrase of Freud's: "Gestern traumte ich wieder vom reisen" - yesterday I dreamed again of travel.
"It is the condition of my own life," she said, "all the comings and goings."
Reisemalheurs, Freud Museum, Hampstead, north-west London, until April 22
Extract: An edited version of Freud's letter to his family from [Lytham] St Anne's on September 5 1908
My Dears,
I do not get round to writing much here and can only communicate the most essential information, all the rest I am saving up for telling you.
... It was fine yesterday, not raining today either, but is cooler and windy, so that I am happy that a planned voyage to the Isle of Man was thwarted thanks to my objections. For I enjoy it much better here than anywhere else; it is delightfully quiet and elegant; yesterday we spent almost the whole day apart from meals at Lytham and Blackpool. You will readily believe that one feels very well so near to the sea which one sees all the time. England in general is for holidays and eating; there is more pleasure in human contact here than elsewhere. The cigars here, like those in Holland, are real compensation for those miserable Bavarian weeds ...
I have transmitted your gift to Marie, the fact that I brought nothing for the little girl can be made up for from Berlin. There is of course no question of shopping here, there will not be much of that in London either. The only thing that I still need for myself is cravats. For your lovely white and coloured ones were ruined by sea water leaking into a corner of the trunk. This is the only travel mishap [Reisemalheur] so far. The bother could not do the panama any good either and since then it has been unwearable ... I should be leaving England around the 15-17.
Hearty greetings to you and all the little ones and hoping myself for good news. Your Sigm.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Could what's happening in Ferguson, Missouri happen here? That's what the head of the Springfield NAACP wants to prevent.
Rev. Talbert Swan is asking Springfield and Holyoke to form a new commission to deal with tension between police and the community.
Two weeks ago, Ferguson, Missouri was just a blip on the map, now everyone knows the name of that city. Nearly two weeks of civil unrest and violence have followed the police shooting death of an 18 year old black man.
"When a police officer shoots an unarmed person, it is the historic distrust that the community has with the police that creates this type of response," said Rev. Talbert Swan, II.
To ensure that something similar won't happen here, Greater Springfield NAACP President Rev. Talbert Swan sent letters to the mayors of Holyoke and Springfield asking to form a commission dealing with the tension between police and those communities. Springfield mayor Domenic Sarno responded in a letter highlighting several of the programs the city already has, but did not agree to a new commission.
Rev. Swan told 22News Mayor Sarno is missing his point. "The jist of my request was to have a group of folks looking at the perception of the public around police actions," said Rev. Swan.
That perception is far from perfect. "It's not what the community can do for the police, it's what the police can do for the community because nobody wants to call the police these days," said Springfield's Lawrence Gilliam.
Swan told 22News the mayor of Ferguson, likely would have had the same response two weeks ago
Holyoke's mayor was out of town, but we spoke with Holyoke's police chief. Chief Neiswanger also highlighted several of the programs his police department is involved with; community policing, mobile community policing, cultural diversity training and crisis intervention training.
Chief Neiswanger also told 22News police officers carry tasers to hopefully prevent officer-involved shootings which are a last resort. Chief Neiswanger said this is not a time to form a new commission, but every police department is talking about what is happening in Ferguson and what they can do better. He adds, "it may change the face of policing."

Originally, I had high expectations, hoping to make a fun little video out of the day with some loose visual instruction on the different techniques used and each of the results that came of them, but I was understandably side tracked by a nursing newborn, a veggie snack tray, one cold beer, and plenty of good conversation. So these photos here, are all that's to be said of the day unless Anne decides to post some how-to's on her site. I know she had a makeshift tunic cloth she was planning on dying later in the week so maybe she'll share with us how that one turned out.
I defiantly recommend this as a fun and creative date to host for your girlfriends. It's a nice and cheap summer craft and a great excuse to hang out. Also oddly addicting. Driving home, I started to think of everything that could probably benefit from a little indigo dip. The ends of Arlo's hair, the ugly curtains I had stashed in the closet, thank you cards, and even the VW bus Mike's been itching to paint for months, started to seem like the perfect choice for a nice, sublet indigo ombre layering job. Though he found the vision not so amusing.
In other news, I've been downright exhausted these past two weeks. Trying my best to keep up a bit here, a LOT around home, and a little everywhere else. Still not sleeping much but the face I get to wake up to every morning makes it worth it all a hundred times over.
As goes new motherhood.

'Very original story line, I loved it! Caitlin Diggs is a preternatural investigator. She is investigating a murder and hears a voice in her head. She finds that she is one with the Goddess Isis. With the help of her friend Briana they set out to solve the crime and the mystery the Egyptian pyramids hold. A fun read. I loved the blend of Egyptian Gods/Goddesses with the mortal world. Also the mystery and the
I haven't read Blood Web, the first installment in the Caitlin Diggs series, but that didn't keep me from following the plot of Extreme Liquidation with no problem. Although Starta alludes to Book One at times, often to demonstrate more of FBI Agent Caitlin Diggs' psychic gifts from the past, you won't be lost, for it's to embellish the storyline in Book Two. Therefore, it's easy to catch the gist of what happened before and to understand Book Two more thoroughly. I won't go into precisely what they are or how items like a crystal and a robe can both aid and mislead federal agent Caitlin Diggs, but suffice it to say, that their roles, as McGuffins of sorts, are well thought out and believable in a willing suspension of disbelief/belief kind of way. The meaning of the title, Extreme Liquidation, is fully revealed on p. 112, but to avoid a spoiler alert, I'll just say that it refers to the evil plot of Aleister Crowley, reincarnated into another male character, to exterminate all humankind for his own selfish gain. Furthermore, reincarnation also plays a part in one of the female character's lives, as she was also a former deity in the past; in fact, that revelation caused me to gasp out loud while reading. Yes, it's that goodJ.
In closing, I highly recommend this novel.

"Gary Starta spins a tale sure to catch readers in his BLOOD WEB! Fans who have been jonesing for a new X File will enjoy the novel's combination of paranormal creepiness and governmental skullduggery, as well as its formidable FBI agent protagonist, Caitlin Diggs, who blends the best of Scully and Mulder in one memorable heroine. I look forward to following Caitlin's--and Starta's--future adventures."

Searching for a novel to read that addresses the evil of humankind today and its problems? Certainly the domination of Americans is a topic of concern; has before. The horrifying fact is that technology will make domination easier. One only needs to stumble upon that last link; a way to control every man, woman, and child.
Agent Caitlin Diggs had every reason not to go back to her job. After losing, Geoffrey, the man she loved to an undercover assignment gone bad, she did not feel stable. Work would help however, even though her parents insisted she finally retire from police work. When FBI Assistant Director, Andrew Dudek phoned her, Caitlin purchased an airline ticket right away. She could get lost in her work and possibly catch a lead on Geoffrey's killers. What she did not know was that she was about to embark on one of the most challenging and dangerous cases of her career. Caitlin knew her assignment involved capturing the nation's latest serial killer, but not one that would decide the fate of the nation.
When the young blond drifter placed the arrowhead pendant against his chest, the crystal liked itself to him; sealing his fate and possibly the nation's as well. Not only did a change come over the teenager named Shenk, but also over the crystal too. Shenk's less than positive qualities, along with societies, affected the crystal tainting and turning it evil.
Starta did his homework. With each chapter his research showed depth. Add to this a powerful imagination and the result is a heart-pounding mystery. BloodWeb is the first of a series, Starta claims, that will feature the FBI Special Agent Diggs.
This book is enticing and a gripping tale that reflects a possible reality with a paranormal aspect intertwined. Starta's story lures readers into an Internet that transcends fiction and enters a resemblance to actuality. Timely.
December 17, 2007
FBI Agent Caitlin Diggs is called back to work after facing a devastating tragedy. With her own focus on avenging the death of her partner, she must first track down a killer possessed by an ancient crystal that has a vendetta of its own.
The crystal has been waiting for over a hundred years to find someone to control and in the Colorado wilderness, teenage runaway Shenk is just the mentally troubled person the crystal need to unleash its supernatural powers.
However, Agent Diggs is not the only one after the killer. Hidden within her midst is a devious organization called the "Right Hand" that have been looking for a way to control the will of all civilization and the crystal is just what they need to complete their goal. And Agent Diggs is in their way.
With a sentient crystal that feeds on the darkest bloody desires of its hosts, Agent Diggs must stop the killer and destroy the crystal without falling prey to its desire for vengeance herself.
In Blood Web , Gary Starta has written a supernatural thriller with a charismatic leading character and some of the most despicable villains I have encountered in my reading in a while.
Questions for the author:
I noticed Blood Web is the first of a series of books about Caitlin Diggs. Have you finished writing any others in the series?
Yes, the next in the series is definitely in the works, just a question of when it will publish. I am even playing around with ideas for book three.
And can you give us a sneak peek into what happens next with Caitlin?
Caitlin now empowered with nocturnal visions becomes targeted by a secret organization run by a rogue member of a government agency. Eventually she will learn her current murder investigation is linked with the organization which just may have definitive answers about Geoffrey McAllister's (her former partner and lover) death. She will also learn she has a role in the fate of humankind.
Many male authors tend to write their leading character as males but you have chosen a female lead. What inspired you to create Caitlin (as opposed to a Carl)?
I simply feel it was high time a female took the lead role. I even gave her a female partner. Dana Scully was such a strong character in The X-files proving a female lead can captivate an audience.
In Blood Web you provided a lot of information on organic chemistry and geology. How much research did this novel entail for you?
I did a lot of reading via the greatest tool authors have nowadays - the Internet! I try to base my ideas upon scientific basis, hopefully leaving the reader wondering if such things could ever happen and making the story a bit more credible hopefully.
As a fan of science fiction and horror novels, what would you say scares you the most?
I would say the scariest monster of all is the human one. The wickedest or most devious thoughts are often borne from the human brain, and because of that I tend to believe humans are sometimes more frightening than the supernatural creatures which hide in the shadows. The most despicable humans walk among us in the light.

Lukas Shenker a troubled teen, known by everyone as Shenk, has spent most of his life residing in a Corpus Christi Center for Wayward Teens. It was a dismal existence clouded by a polluted haze of constant medications and counseling from his Social Worker Alice. When a hurricane descends upon Texas, Shenk sees this as an opportunity to disappear. With the massive flood waters claiming any records of his existence, Shenk can start a new life with a new identity.
As Shenk finds refuge in a cave, waiting out the storm, he happens upon a brilliant rose quartz necklace. Could this be a sign that his life is headed in a better and brighter direction? Or, will the crystal connect to Shrenk through his blood and mind in order to carry out its own long awaited vendetta?
The ancient Indian artifact has been merely a myth to most historians, including the famous and well respected historical speaker Eugene "Bull Tongue" Campbell. Eugene has spent his life pursuing his calling to inform interested students on the facts regarding the way things really were between the Americans and the Indians. However, Eugene's father, Jake Campbell or "Lone Coyote" as he is also called knows quite well the power of the crystal for good as well as its ability to wreak havoc on the world if connected to a mind filled with evil. After hearing about the Arrowhead Murders, Jake decides he can no longer keep quiet about the crystal's existence. In order to protect the world from the crystal's power and warn the public of his long suspected conspiracy theory regarding the military's quest to gain control of the crystal and rule the world, he takes to the airwaves. Suzie Chang, the host of the show American Murders, allows Jake Campbell to spin his tale of nonsense in order to boost her ratings. Will Jake Campbell's life now be thrown into the depths of murder by those he sought to expose?
FBI Special Agent Caitlin Diggs is well known for her impressive arrest record as well as her ability to work on her gut instincts. After witnessing the horrific beating death of her partner and lover Geoffrey McAllister, she finds for the very first time that she needs a leave of absence from her beloved job. Faced with doubt about her career and an overwhelming sense of sadness at the loss of her future husband, Caitlin is once again called upon to investigate the recent "Arrowhead" killings.
Will Caitlin Diggs be able to track down the Arrowhead Killer in time? Will she be able to finally regain her confidence as a highly successful agent? In addition, will her wounds regarding the loss of her partner and lover finally begin to heal? Or, after realizing the only way to stop the body count from rising is to obtain possession of the crystal; will Diggs become swayed by the crystal's persuasive powers and begin her own journey to carry out its evil wishes?
Blood Web is by far the most AMAZING novel this reader/writer has had the privilege to read in a long time. This edge of your seat thrill ride is filled with something for everyone from suspense, paranormal, thrill, murder, mystery and even a touch of romance. Any genre aficionado will find this novel to be one of pure pleasure. First in the FBI Special Agent Caitlin Diggs series, Starta does an excellent job portraying the perfect setting while creating characters that are not only believable, but connect to your emotions as well. Each page is another twist and unexpected turn, keeping the reader glued to their seat and eager to reveal the next shocking revelation waiting in the prose of the following pages. Gary Starta is a prolific writer, who I believe is way ahead of his time in this particular genre. I anxiously await the next installment of the infamous Caitlin Diggs adventures. Kudos!

It has been described as the most demanding and unforgiving road race in the world, one that only the hardiest men and machine can hope to survive, never mind win. So, even a good showing during the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a significant achievement.
And this year's ultimate endurance race suggests that alternative power and automotive design is ready to challenge the mainstream. With Audi's latest high-tech entry claiming victory and the striking Delta Wing making an impressive – if short-lived – debut, even more alternative entries appear to be on the horizon, including one from Japan's Mazda.
Already a dominant force with its diesel-powered racers, Audi took an even bolder step this year with the addition of the R18 etron Quattro – which took the checkered flag to become the first hybrid vehicle ever to win the 24-hour event. Audi snatched a compelling 1-2-3 win during the 80th running of the annual Le Mans endurance race with two R18 etrons first across the finish line followed by a more conventionally diesel-powered R18 ultra.

A defendant has a constitutional right to a jury trial. This right can be waived and the case may be tried by the court. However, even in a jury trial, the defendant has the right to take the case away from the jury and have it decided by the trial judge. This is done through a motion for acquittal, which may be granted if there isn't enough evidence to support a conviction.
This procedure protects the defendant from an improper or irrational jury verdict. If the court grants an acquittal before the jury returns a verdict, the defendant can't be tried again for the same crime because double jeopardy protection attaches.
Timing of the Motion for Acquittal
A motion for acquittal can be made at the close of the government's case, before the close of the government's case or after the evidence on both sides has closed. Asking for an acquittal before the close of the government's case is rare, but it can be done when it is shown that the government has no case or the accused has an iron clad defense.
Despite when the motion is made, the court can reserve making a decision on the motion to whenever it wants. The court can allow the case to go to the jury and then rule on the motion for acquittal after the jury returns its verdict.
Determination of the Sufficiency of the Evidence
The standard on a motion for acquittal is whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain a verdict against the defendant. This requires the court to determine whether any reasonable jury might find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge views the evidence in the light most favorable to the government. The motion will be denied if, based on the evidence presented, a rational person could find that the essential elements of the crime are proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Application of Double Jeopardy Protection
Double jeopardy protection attaches when there is a final judgment of acquittal. This means that the government can't proceed against the defendant again for the same offense. The government can't appeal the judgment of acquittal if it is made prior to the jury's verdict. However, the government can appeal if the acquittal is granted after the jury returns a guilty verdict. If the government is successful on appeal, there is no need for a retrial, and the court will simply reinstate the jury's verdict.
Questions for Your Attorney
- If a motion for acquittal is granted, will there be any record of the case on my criminal history?
- What are the elements of a crime?
- Is there a downside to asking for a judgment of acquittal?

Separate names with a comma.
Tin is a chemical element with the symbol Sn (for Latin: stannum) and atomic number 50. It is a main group metal in group 14 of the periodic table. Tin shows a chemical similarity to both neighboring group-14 elements, germanium and lead, and has two possible oxidation states, +2 and the slightly more stable +4. Tin is the 49th most abundant element and has, with 10 stable isotopes, the largest number of stable isotopes in the periodic table. It is a silvery, malleable other metal that is not easily oxidized in air, obtained chiefly from the mineral cassiterite where it occurs as tin dioxide, SnO2.
The first alloy used on a large scale since 3000 BC was bronze, an alloy of tin and copper. After 600 BC, pure metallic tin was produced. Pewter, which is an alloy of 85–90% tin with the remainder commonly consisting of copper, antimony and lead, was used for flatware from the Bronze Age until the 20th century. In modern times, tin is used in many alloys, most notably tin/lead soft solders, which are typically 60% or more tin. Another large application for tin is corrosion-resistant tin plating of steel. Because of its low toxicity, tin-plated metal was used for food packaging as tin cans, which are now made mostly of steel, even though the name is kept in English.

Learning Village Grades 5 - 8
The Learning Village Grades 5 - 8 curriculum weaves disparate threads. Traditional content and skills coexist with new forms of instruction and application.
Instead of merely combining the old and new, the School reimagines the academic context to create a bold paradigm of learning in which students learn through a variety of methods: collaboration, seminar discussions, student-centered activities, and real-life problem solving requiring critical and creative thinking.
All students study English, history, mathematics, science, world languages (offerings in Spanish, French and Latin), and fine arts, and participate in physical education or sports. In seventh and eighth grade, students choose from a variety of electives which allow them to explore their passions. The academic program is designed to build strong foundations in reading, writing, speaking, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.
Interdisciplinary study truly begins in grades five through eight, as evidenced by our humanities program commencing in the seventh grade. Another example is the School's Computer Science Initiative, which brings together mathematical knowledge and fluency gleaned from our Kindergarten through grade six Singapore Math program, computational thinking, and an understanding of coding. Breaking down the traditional silos of academic disciplines better serves to cement understanding in our students.
Stretching students to learn in new and exciting ways makes our School vibrant.
The approach to instruction is flexible, too, and it is informed by research and our faculty's experience. Our fifth and sixth grade math and science classes are taught in single-gender groupings, which allow teachers to optimize instructional and motivational techniques. To better meet the needs of our diverse group of students, ability grouping in mathematics begins in seventh grade, which allows more opportunities for differentiation.
Instead of homerooms, Advisory groups consisting of a faculty member and a small number of students meet four days a week. The Advisory program centers on team building, leadership, and character development. The teacher is an advocate for his/her advisees, oversees their academic progress, and meets with their parents at scheduled parent-teacher conferences during the year. After grades have been posted, Advisors meet with each of their advisees to discuss their grades and comments and set goals for the next grading period.
Away from the traditional classroom, students have the chance to collaborate with each other, build fine and gross motor skills, and challenge themselves in different ways. One avenue is through adventure education, which can involve backpacking, mountain biking, and rock climbing. Another example is orchestra, a required class in fifth grade and an optional class in the grades following, which provides another team-oriented discipline and culminates in performances twice a year.
As students gain content mastery, skills, confidence and self-knowledge in interdisciplinary classes, they also can find challenge in non-traditional ways. In the Learning Village Grades 5 – 8, the School offers curricular and co-curricular opportunities for all.

TORRANCE, CAModern engineering and manufacturing technology is making it easier to build reliable performance flathead motors. Now in their 70th year, Edelbrock has long been recognized as pioneering the development of many flathead performance parts and they are supporting this rebirth with the introduction of two new flathead cylinder head designs.
The first, #1116, is designed with a raised roof combustion chamber design for 1949-53 8BA motors. The CNC machined 74cc chamber volume is designed to reduce compression in supercharged applications. Improved flow and increased valve clearance add to the benefits. The reduced compression is also a complement to those wanting to run low octane fuel in naturally aspirated applications. #1116 is sold in pairs.
Designed with nostalgia in mind, Edelbrock is bringing back the "Block Letter" logo option on 24-stud 1938-48 flathead cylinder heads, #1126. Cast in Edelbrock's ultra-modern aluminum foundry, these heads are made from prime A356 aluminum. The combustion chamber is sized at 64cc to accommodate naturally aspirated performance applications. The #1126 Edelbrock Block Letter logo heads are sold in pairs.

CD REVIEW: Ajay Mathur - A Matter of Time
By: Cyrus Rhodes
Ajay Mathur
Label: Independent Artist
Website: http://www.reverbnation.com/actofchoice
Genre: R&B, Classic Rock, Singer Songwriter
Sounds Like: John Mayer, Todd Rungren, Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, Bob Welch
Technical Grade:
Weakness: Mix, Dated Sound, Winded Songs, Marketability
Ajay (pronounced / eɪ jay), born in India, rocked through the music clubs of New Delhi and Mumbai in the 70s when he was a student of English literature. Rock musicians from the West, including Jimmy Page and Don Cherry, who were on tour in India or looking for enlightenment, joined Ajay on the stage for almost endless sessions that lasted through the night. In the 80s and 90s, Ajay celebrated success in his European home of Switzerland with his rock group 'Mainstreet'. The group had an impressive four singles and two albums in the top 20 Swiss radio charts, month-long club power play in Tokyo's Hard Rock Cafe and on various European radio stations all following on the heels of sold-out tours across Europe.
The CD takes flight with Track 1 "How High Can You Fly" an inviting intro piece that flows and ebbs its way through to emotional fruition with its flowing rock rhythm, impressive Slide Guitar accents against hypnotic vocal vibe from Mathur. Track 2 "Making a Fool out of Me" is an upbeat follow-up that serves up driving rock rhythm against rocking guitar against a grand slam chorus. Track 3 "Mister" shifts gears a bit with its thought provoking wisdom that offers a heartfelt vocal delivery, amazing harmonies against compelling lyrical content. As the CD slowly unfolds, I can hear many different musical textures reminiscent of classic acts like John Mayer, Todd Rungren, Peter Gabriel, John Lennon, Bob Welch and Chris De Burgh with respect to some of the vocal harmonies, worldly rhythms and dynamic writing style. The music itself is an impressive blend of progressive, alternative, and classic rock. Mathur's voice goes down smooth and is full of passion, vulnerability and bold honesty. The musicianship from all the session players involved is world class. Also present besides the 4 piece standard you will notice sizzling guitar solos, impressive percussive accents, lush-layered harmonies, well placed Keyboard accents all built upon a thick as a brick rhythm foundation. The songs themselves are extremely consistent, dynamic, and melodic in nature. The songwriting is extremely creative and highly original. Each song possessing a unique personality, flair and signature groove. I especially like how the whole CD just flows across the ears song for song and note for note - each piece interconnected with the next. From heartfelt "Rise and Shine" to epic "A Matter of Time" to eloquent "Pennies to Gold" to upbeat restless Fool" to earthy Good Friday" to slamming Granted" this CD has something for just about everyone. The CD ends with Track 16 "Wine and the Time of a Man" the prefect finale statement for a CD of this caliber.
To be honest this isn't the best mix I've ever heard. At the end of the day it sounds a bit odd, all over the place and lacks continuity track to track. This becomes more and more evident when you play the CD over high end stereo systems and speakers like the ones you might find in souped-up care through Santander Consumer USA. Because of this the CD sounds a bit dated when compared to other world class releases within the genera and will remind you of music popular 20+ years ago. Perhaps Mathur need to modernize his sound a bit with respect to the mixing and the overall writings style. It's wouldn't take much to fix this and just a little will go a long way as Mathur is clearly a world class songwriter. All songs over 3.5 minutes tend to drag you to the finish line. It's fair to say some of the aforementioned issues do effect the CD's marketability.
Overall It's a Matter of Time" by Ajay Mathur is an extremely entertaining, dynamic and brilliant catalogue of music. Its strong suit – the amazing amount of originality, creativity and rich conventional wisdom Mathur has to offer. I especially enjoyed the theatrical drama quality to some of the pieces. All in all Ajay Mathur stands out from other artists with his unique signature sound, passion and heightened level of musical enlightenment.

virus doesnt suck, it jsut costs to much for what it does, cannot make sounds on the high end freq that sound good, and is nto a good pad machine. it does bass and stabby techno stuff ok, but when the resonance is used. blech. digital. i take the nord lead resonance of this things any day, and its a hell of a lot cheaper.
i say save your cash, buy a juno 106, mks50, matrix 1000, and a jupiter 6. that runs about the same as the virus kb!

Hmmm... Bugs in the OS? "Difficult" OS? Uhhh... the OS consists of a few menus and gobs and gobs of knobs. And the good folks at access update it VERY regularly. I have never encountered any bug of any note. In fact, my only problem with the synth was a bad stick of RAM. Access US fixed it in a day (for free) and sent it back. Heck, they even paid for the shipping
Just downloaded OS 4.51, and it is amazing. They did the unthinkable and flushed the demo song and replaced it with 512 more patches. God bless those German synth heads!
I actually was once a proud owner of a Juno 106 and a Nord 1 (and yeah, I paid through the nose for one back in '95). I now own a AN150 (a Yamaha AN1X synth on a card) in my Motif 7. ESL studios here in DC has a JP-8000. These are all outstanding instruments, more than capable of giving you all the tweaky VA love you need. But Skanker hit it spot on... this little beast has a much wider sonic pallet than any other synth remotely in its class. I hate to sound rude, but if you cannot make it sound good, do not blame the instrument. The MIDI control of this instrument is nothing short of amazing... you can sync darn near every parameter. And the best thing about it is that I have rarely ever had to crack the manual. The only other instrument I have found easier to work with is the Nord 1... but the Virus is far more flexible and packs a much bigger sonic punch.
The effects section should be commended as well. The groove delay is a very powerful effect; the stage phasers are a joy to work with. However, I should point out that the effects are merely there to augment the sounds... not cover them up. You could strip the effects from the sounds, and the sounds will still be stunning.
My only complaints. 1) No digital out option. The analog outs are 24bit DACs, but my studio, short of the Mics and the Event 20/20s, is digital. Even though I use damn good cables (Monster 1000s), I would still rather keep that luscious sound entirely in the digital realm. 2) There is no data knob, forcing you to scroll through the patches with two buttons. This sucker has over 1000 patches, and it is the only digital synth I own that can't use a knob or wheel in this fashion. Small complaint, I know... but it says something about the quality of this synth that that is my only "OS" grip.
The Virus is wonderfully engineered, looks gorgeous, and has stunning sonic depth. The Motif is the only synth I own that can go toe to toe with it in a mix. I refuse to accept that anyone would say it "sucks." You may not like the way it sounds (which would frankly stun me), but no one who is a serious, professional musician would hold that opinion. In this day and age, very very few instruments from any company deserve that label. In fact, it is hard to find a synth that doesn't shine in some regard. But for what it is, the Virus is truly an amazing music making tool. If you are serious about VAs, A/B it with the outstanding Notation and Waldorf products. The Clavia, Korg, Roland, and Yamaha equivalents lack too many important features for most pro work (with regards to polyphony and multi timbre parts... they all sound great, however). I went with Virus because it is very sonically unique. To be sure, it can comp a generic analog synth of yore.. but it has its own presence. It has teeth... and it is very affordably priced. You may find that Notation and Waldorf suit your studio better... but to be sure, if you end up with a Virus, you will be a very happy owner indeed.

Or at least a few billion years:
Astronomers have spotted an exotic planet that seems to be made of diamond racing around a tiny star in our galactic backyard.
The new planet is far denser than any other known so far and consists largely of carbon. Because it is so dense, scientists calculate the carbon must be crystalline, so a large part of this strange world will effectively be diamond.
The evolutionary history and amazing density of the planet all suggest it is comprised of carbon — i.e. a massive diamond orbiting a neutron star every two hours in an orbit so tight it would fit inside our own Sun," said Matthew Bailes of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.
In 2010, Arthur C. Clarke speculated that the core of Jupiter might be gigantic diamond. In this case, it's the core of a star that was mostly destroyed as the pulsar formed. Its karat weight is a 1 followed by 31 zeros, roughly enough to get engaged to every woman from now until a hundred billion trillion years from now (unless they are from LA, in which case you should knock a couple of zeros off). Every two hours, this rock whips around a stellar remnant that is the size of a small city, weighs 1.4 times as much as the Sun and spins on its axis every 5.7 milliseconds, with beams of radio light blasting out of its poles.
Is this a cool universe or what?

TV Repair Questions? Ask a TV Technician for Answers ASAP
I have a very old tv that i am using will my current one in for repairs. i think it is a Toshiba VTV 2056. The problem is I have a HD video game that i want to play but the screen size becomes too big, filling the screen but there are certain things that i can't make out right at the corner. how do i change the screen size.
There does not seem to be an option to change this on the video game. I'm using a play station 3. Will I need to change the settings on the console itself?
The two resolution types are 16:9 and 4:3. Neither are able to show me the full screen. Does connection via scart or just av cables make a difference?
AV cable is for lowest video resolution (480) and usually scart has component video connection that is higher resolution (720).Please check PS3 setting menu for video output resolution like 1080, 720 or 480 etc and select 480 option.
I have selected 480 but it is still too big. My tv is the old box type so it does not seem to change in settings.
Everything else is fine. It is just this game that cannot let me see the images fully at the bottom of the screen.
Ok thank you for you help.
