Eclipse Build Available RSS Feeds
Eclipse Build Available RSS Feeds
Recent changes to this document
Sample Feeds
- Samples feed files can be seen in CVS here: /cvsroot/eclipse/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.build.tools/data/
- Most of the contents of the <build/> node are optional. The schema for these examples is located here. For tasks used to create/modify/view or respond to feeds, see #Latest_Code.
Support For Eclipse.org Jar Signing
So that we can identify which projects' builds are signed, the <build/> node can take an attribute for jars, thus:
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> ... <summary> <build xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/2006/BuildFeed" callisto="COMPLETE" href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.2RC5-200605191206" jars="UNSIGNED" type="S"> ... </summary> </feed>
I'm thinking of 5 status codes, assuming the current jar signing process continues as proposed:
- NONE (or "") - no status available or not participating
- UNSIGNED - no jar signage available or done yet
- SIGNREADY - jars promoted to eclipse.org, ready for signing
- BUILDREADY - signed on eclipse.org, ready to be collected and bundled as zips and copied to UM site
- SIGNED - signed & bundled on download page and on UM site
Support For Build Type
So that we can identify what type of build a given entry is, these values can be specified for a type attribute:
<build xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/2006/BuildFeed" callisto="COMPLETE" href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.2RC5-200605191206" jars="UNSIGNED" type="S">
- N : Nightly
- I : Integration
- M : Maintenance
- S : Stable (Milestone or Release Candidate)
- R : Release
- MC : Maintenance-Callisto
- SC : Stable-Callisto
- RC : Release-Callisto
If the property buildType is not specified, the ant task will attempt to guess the build type based on the buildID, like this:
public void setBuildType(String buildType) { if (!isNullString(buildType)) { this.buildType = buildType; } else { this.buildType = buildID.replaceAll("[^NIMSR]", NS); //$NON-NLS-1$ if (this.buildType.length()>1) { this.buildType=this.buildType.substring(0, 1); } } }
Support For Callisto Status
So that we can identify which projects' have been posted to Callisto, there's an attribute on the <build/> node, thus:
<build xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/2006/BuildFeed" callisto="COMPLETE" href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/S-3.2RC5-200605191206" jars="UNSIGNED" type="S">
Status codes here could be:
|NONE (or "")
|not part of Callisto or unknown status
|Have you finished your RC1 bits?
|When do you expect to finish them?
|If you're waiting for another project, which one(s)?
|Have you placed those bits in your update site?
|Have you updated the features.xml file in the Callisto CVS directory?
|Are you ready for RC1 to be declared?
Where To Publish
In order to ensure that your feed data is as current as your promoted bits, it's recommended that you publish your feed to the same place you publish your zips/jars. For the EMF example, this is http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/feeds/builds.xml, and the CVS archived version of the file is /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/emf/feeds/builds.xml.
If you plan to publish more than one feed or your project contains subprojects which are built or published separately, it's recommended that you name your feeds with the subproject, branch, and type, eg: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/feeds/builds-emf-2.2-N.xml.
Working Examples
These are working examples implemented and in use, based on the samples provided in org.eclipse.build.tools.
In this scenario, EMF publishes a scheduled build every Thursday at 00:00, promotes the build to eclipse.org at 01:00, and then UML2, knowing there's an EMF build every week, starts watching the EMF feed, checking hourly at 02:00, 03:00 and 04:00, in order to pick up the latest driver to do its weekly build. As our build server is at IBM, this delay is necessary to ensure that code committed to eclipse.org has time to propagate across the nodes and to the IBM mirrors. Usually the mirrors replicate between 02:00 and 03:00, causing the UML2 build to start at 03:00.
This is only one use case. For more responsive feed watching, cron-based checks could be done 24h a day, multiple times an hour, and more than once a week.
As noted in the above scenario, publishing an EMF build automatically is done in two steps, both fired by crontab:
# M build every Thu (4); runs as web user, www-data 0 0 * * 4 sudo -u www-data /home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/start_cron.sh -proj emf -buildType M \ -tagBuild true -branchCVS HEAD -noperf -runJDK14Tests -runJDK50Tests -runOldTests > \ $HOME/cron_logs/start_cron.sh.emf.M.txt 2>&1
- start_cron.sh (cron wrapper for start.sh)
- start.sh (start a build)
# promote M build + update feed (among other things) 0 1 * * 4 /home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/promoteToEclipse_cron.sh -proj emf -branch 2.2.1 -type M \ -user nickb -userIES nboldt -announce > $HOME/cron_logs/promoteToEclipse_cron.sh.emf.M.txt 2>&1
- promoteToEclipse_cron.sh (cron wrapper to publish a build)
- promoteToEclipse.sh (publish a build)
- promoteToEclipse.emf.properties (properties)
One of the steps in promoting a build is to check out the latest copy of the feed from CVS, update it, commit it back to CVS, and scp it to eclipse.org. This is done by having
promoteToEclipse.sh fire
- feedPublish.xml (publish a feed)
- feedPublish.emf.properties (properties)
In this scenario, UML2 listens from 02:00 to 04:00 by running
feedWatch.sh, but has chosen to manually verify and promote builds (also using
# respond to emf feed change; runs as web user, www-data 0 2,3,4 * * 4 cd /home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/ && sudo -u www-data \ /home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/feedWatch.sh -proj uml2 -branchCVS R2_0_maintenance > \ $HOME/cron_logs/feedWatch.sh.uml2.txt 2>&1
- feedWatch.sh (check cached copy of a feed for specific changes on remote host)
- feedWatch.uml2.xml (run UML2-specific check for upstream EMF feed changes)
- feedWatch.uml2.properties (properties)
If a change is seen in the feed, run the respondToFeedChanged target in
feedWatch.xml, which has been customized to update dependencies then run a build:
<target name="spawnBuild"> <echo message="Spawn new build:"/> <echo message="/home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/start_cron.sh -proj uml2 ${buildType} ${buildAlias} -branchCVS ${branchCVS} ${runOptions} -URL '${feedWatchAction.TheValue.2}/${feedWatchAction.TheValue.1}' -URL '${feedWatchAction.TheValue.3}'"/> <exec spawn="true" executable="bash" resolveexecutable="true"> <arg line="/home/www-data/emf-build/scripts/start_cron.sh -proj uml2 ${buildType} ${buildAlias} -branchCVS ${branchCVS} ${runOptions} -URL '${feedWatchAction.TheValue.2}/${feedWatchAction.TheValue.1}' -URL '${feedWatchAction.TheValue.3}'"/> </exec> </target>
Latest Code
The latest code can be found in CVS, currently in the releng_test branch:
The latest XML Schema is here:
Additionally, zips are available here (but are NOT as recent as what's in CVS):
- Shell & Ant tasks to create, update, query & publish feeds (CVS, SCP)
- Shell & Ant tasks to respond to feed changes (eg., sending an email, firing another ant task, launching a shell process with <exec>)
- Ant task (and shell wrapper) to validate a feed against the latest schema

Security Alerts
Phishing - Electronic Scams
Phishing is a type of email deception used to obtain sensitive personal information. An email is sent mimicking the appearance and identity of a company that you do business with. It could be an online retailer, a financial institution or other companies like cable, phone, or utility. The email may request that you update your account information, a credit card number or a password. Or, the email might try to get you to visit fraudulent websites by clicking on links. A "spoofed" site could have malware or viruses that infect your computer, or they could encourage you to conduct transactions.
- Protect yourself by staying alert and acting cautiously to any requests for your personal information.
- Don't respond to unknown solicitations and don't give your personal information to unknown people or companies. If you're suspicious about an email you've received, you should visit the company's website directly by inputting the URL or using a bookmark. Do not click on the response link in an email. Better yet, call them if you're concerned. Be sure to use a phone number not contained in the email.
- Avoid downloading files, emails or attachments from unknown sources because they could contain malware, viruses or links to counterfeit or "spoofed" websites.
- Protect yourself and your computer while using the Internet, by keeping your computer's firewall turned on and keep your operating system, anti-spyware and anti-virus software up to date.
- And finally, report suspicious activity and suspected phishing attempts to the company being impersonated.
The most important thing to remember is that Pacific Service CU will never contact you by phone, email or text message asking you to provide passwords, login names, social security numbers, or other personal information. If you receive an email from Pacific Service CU asking you to update or verify account information, do not respond. If you suspect you have received a suspicious email from Pacific Service CU asking you to verify account information, contact us immediately at (888) 858-6878 so that we can assist you in safeguarding your information.
Vishing - Telephone Scams
Automated Calling Services
There are many scammers using automated calling services requesting a call back to collect personal information from you. Pacific Service CU does not use an automated calling service to notify you of issues with your account or to request personal information. However, we may contact you through an automated calling service when our state-of-the-art credit and debit card monitoring system detects a suspicious transaction. In this case, you will only need to confirm the last 4 digits of your social security number. If you have concerns, call us directly at (888) 858-6878.
Remember that Pacific Service CU will never contact you by phone, email or text message asking you to provide passwords, login names, social security numbers, or other personal information. If you receive a message asking you to call back with personal information like this, do not call the number provided in the message. Personal information should only be disclosed by phone if you initiated the contact directly with the company you are doing business with.
Convincing Phone Calls
Scammers may sound very convincing over the phone. They use fake names and usually have done a lot of homework on their targets. Do not fall victim to these clever thieves.
The IRS has recently reported a phone scam where the caller is pretending to be an employee of the IRS. Read more about this scam alert.
If you suspect that you have been a victim of fraud, or your account has been compromised, immediately call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878. We can cancel compromised cards, change your account number or add a password to your account for future transactions.
Fraudulent Electronic Check Deposits
Now that depositing a check is as easy as taking a picture with your mobile phone, scammers are learning to take advantage of this new technology.
Using social media channels such as Facebook, scammers endeavor to connect to individuals in order to gain trust and ultimately personal information. Many pose as recruiters for work at home jobs that offer attractive earnings, while others attempt to gain your account credentials so they can access your account(s) and funds directly.
One version of the work at home scam requires you to deposit a check for an amount greater than what you are owed, together with a request to return the over payment back to the sender. The original check ultimately is returned and the account holder loses the over payment amount they provided to the fraud artist.
Another version requires credentials such as account number, social security number and password to be provided as part of the work at home application process. The fraud artist then uses the deposit capture capability on their mobile phone to take a picture of a bogus check, and deposit it to your account. They subsequently make a withdrawal from your account through an ATM or other source. The counterfeit check is then returned and the deposit reversed.
There are numerous fraud scams involving social media. You can protect yourself by following these simple tips:
- Never share your personal or account information with anyone and never store sensitive information in a location where it could easily be accessed.
- Know who you are doing business with and verify any requests or solicitations before responding.
- Only click on links or download files (video and advertisements) that you are absolutely certain are from trusted sources. Scammers can download viruses, Trojans, and other programs designed to steal your information or track your activity.
- Trust your instincts. If you suspect something may not be right, do not proceed.
Remember that we will never contact you and request personal or account information. If you suspect that you have been a victim of fraud or your account has been compromised, immediately call a member service representative at
(888) 858-6878.
Charity Scam Following Disasters
The IRS has issued a warning to consumers about fraudulent charity scams. Fraudulent scams capitalize on the goodwill of the public with the intent to steal money or identities.
The IRS warns that scams of this nature are most rampant following major disasters, like recent devastating tornadoes or typhoons. Disasters are the most popular times for this type of fraud because of the surge of good will surrounding a catastrophic event, and suspicious circumstances are more likely to be overlooked because of the immediacy of need.
The scammers pose as a legitimate charity using several different methods. They may claim to be an employee or volunteer of a legitimate charity. They may use company names that sound similar to real charities. They may use email that link respondents to fraudulent websites. Or, they may use phone calls or emails to solicit donations requiring personal or financial information in attempt to commit identity theft.
You can protect yourself in several ways:
Verify that the charity is legitimate.
The IRS and FEMA both offer online tools to search for qualified tax-deductible organizations.
Don't share your personal financial information.
Never share your social security number, credit card numbers, your credit union account number or your passwords with anyone. Often these donation attempts are a way to access much more than your intended donation amount.
Never share your social security number, credit card numbers, your credit union account number or your passwords with anyone. Often these donation attempts are a way to access much more than your intended donation amount.
Don't send cash.
Cash isn't a traceable way to record donations for tax purposes, and it's also not very secure. Use a check or other payment method to properly document your transaction.

If you think you may be a victim of charity-related fraud, report the incident to the IRS using the Reporting Phishing link.
If you suspect that your account has been compromised, immediately call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878. We can cancel compromised cards, change your account number or add a password to your account for future transactions if it becomes necessary.
Unauthorized Card Access
As a valued Pacific Service CU member, we want you to know that it is our top priority to maintain the privacy and security of all of our cardholders. When there are data breaches at retailers such as Target and Home Depot, we work with Visa Inc. to determine the number of cards which were impacted by this unauthorized access. If we determine that any card is at risk, you will be notified and your card will be blocked and replaced. However, the card will be available for use until the new card is activated.
Your Pacific Service CU Visa debit or credit card features Visa's Zero Liability policy which provides added security against fraudulent activity. In addition, our fraud monitoring systems work 24/7 and are designed to recognize suspicious charges and fraud on your accounts.
We encourage you to monitor your accounts for unauthorized activity. You can check transaction history and set up email alerts in online banking. We strongly caution you not to provide any information to those calling you claiming to be Pacific Service CU. These scams are intended to gather more information about you and your account in an attempt to use your old or possibly your new Pacific Service CU card(s). If you notice anything suspicious, please call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878 as soon as possible.
Account Security
Visa Card Fraud Alerts
Our Visa fraud monitoring system reviews all of your debit and credit card transactions. If the monitoring system believes that a purchase is being made outside of your normal spending pattern, you'll now receive a real-time text or email alert asking you to confirm the transaction.
In addition to the above, you may also receive a phone call from our fraud department. These three contact methods are being used in conjunction to help prevent unauthorized transactions on your debit and credit cards.
For maximum protection, please ensure that your contact information is up-to-date. You can review and update your information from the Manage Profile tab in online or mobile banking.
Additionally, if Visa, Inc. notifies us that your ATM, debit or credit card account number was obtained by unauthorized sources and your card or personal information may have been compromised, we may take immediate action. Meaning, we may block your card and reissue you a new card and PIN to protect you from potential fraud.
Visa's Zero Liability Policy
When you sign for your purchases instead of using your PIN, you are automatically covered by Visa's Zero Liability Policy. That means you pay nothing in the event of fraudulent activity provided you let us know within 60 days. Furthermore, Visa's cardholder protection policy requires all financial institutions issuing Visa products to extend provisional credit for losses from unauthorized card use within five business days of notification of the loss, which means you won't have to wait for resolution on a dispute before you get your money back.
Transaction Alerts
Transaction alerts notify you about activity on your account. It's easy to set up alerts. Using BranchLine, our online banking service, click on Manage Profile, then Manage Alerts. You can elect to receive email notifications for most account activity, for example, when a check clears, when your debit card is used, or when your direct deposit is credited.
How We Protect You
We will never contact you via phone, email or text message asking you to provide passwords, login names, social security numbers, or other personal information. Do not respond to any request to update your account or personal information. Please notify us immediately if you receive such a request.
Online and Mobile Banking Security
Multi-Factor Authentication
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection and level of security for your online banking session. It provides an additional verification step from your User ID and Password.
The second level of verification uses an image, a caption and three challenge questions selected by you. Upon each login, online banking should display your correct image and caption assuring that you are on our legitimate site.
If your image and caption do not appear, do not enter your password because you may be on a fraudulent site. Call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878. If you're accessing online banking using an unregistered computer, you may be asked your challenge questions.
Furthermore, if it is determined that your online banking transaction is a high risk transaction, an additional verification step may be required. This verification may include knowledge-based questions, a phone call to a selected phone number on file, or a text message to a text-enabled phone number on file.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) Encryption
When using our online or mobile banking services, all data is protected by 2048-bit RSA TLS encryption technology, providing one of the highest levels of security for protecting confidential transmissions of data. However, as with any electronic banking service, you should still observe reasonable security precautions.
Never access your secure information through an unsecure Wi-Fi service, like those available in airports or coffee shops. Like any computer, your web-enabled mobile device is susceptible to viruses, malicious sites and applications. Please be sure to use caution when opening emails, clicking on links and surfing the web via your mobile device as you do with your computer.
Mobile Applications
The use of mobile devices like smartphones and tablets has become commonplace for today's consumer. These devices may store passwords, banking information, contact information and other sensitive data. With this information at your fingertips, it is important to keep your device up-to-date with the most current versions of virus protection and system software to ensure that your personal information is protected from unintended use.
In order for your mobile device to be infected, fraudulent applications must be downloaded to your mobile device. Often these downloadable apps claim to offer additional security for your mobile device or offer a protected login to other accounts. We recommend that you opt for a more secure mobile banking channel like a native application that you download to your mobile device, like the one we offer. Search for your financial institution's app at an official application store such as the App StoreSM or the Google PlayTM store.
Online Channels to Help Prevent Fraud
Using electronic services can help keep your identity safe. Pacific Service CU's electronic delivery channels are free, easy to use and can be a crucial component in data protection and fraud prevention. Here's how you can use eServices to stay aware of risks and help prevent being exposed to fraud:
- Online Banking - Using online banking, you can securely access your accounts and view your real-time balances. That means you can easily monitor your account activity and identify suspicious or fraudulent activity.
- eStatements - Receiving your statements electronically is a great way to protect your account information. Since there's no paper, you can avoid mail tampering and the exposure of your paper records in your home or garbage.
- Bill Pay - Paying bills electronically protects your personal information in several ways. First, you don't have to give other vendors your bank account number to debit your account. Additionally, most bills are paid electronically, meaning a paper check is not issued and sent through the mail – minimizing the risk of theft or loss.
Online Protection
We encourage members to be vigilant with their personal and account information. It is important to protect yourself and your computer while using the Internet. Protecting your computer from vulnerabilities includes keeping others out of your computer's personal files, preventing attacks passed through your email to your contacts or inadvertently downloading malicious software. Here are great tips on how to protect the personal information on your computer:
- Keep your computer's firewall turned on. A personal firewall is an application which controls network traffic to and from a computer based on a security policy. Encryption should also be enabled for your router firewall and your wireless network, if you have those set up.
- Keep your operating system, anti-spyware and anti-virus software up-to-date. When vulnerabilities are discovered, computer vendors develop software patches to address them. However, it is up to you to obtain and install the most up-to-date fixes.
- Passwords are important. Create custom user IDs and passwords, even for your personal computer, router or wireless network.
- Be cautious. Avoid downloading files or attachments from websites or senders that you don't know or trust.
Visit the Microsoft Online Safety page for more information and tips. If you suspect that you have been a victim of fraud or your account has been compromised, immediately call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878.
Card Controls
Stop fraud before it starts! With card controls you have the ability to control your debit, credit and ATM cards from your mobile device. If your card is lost or misplaced, you can turn it off instantly with a simple tap to protect against fraudulent use. When your card is active, you can also manage daily limits. Protect your cards today.
To download the mobile banking app, search for us in the App StoreSM or Google PlayTM. For more information, call a member service representative at
(888) 858-6878.

Fraud Prevention Tips
Password Protection
In the wake of breaches of personal information, we are reminded about the timely importance of securing and updating our online passwords. Here are a few best practices to help protect your passwords.
- Use a "complex" password with a series of capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Increasing a password's complexity increases your security. Here's a trick: Using a phrase, you can create a strong password that's easy to remember. For example, A41&14a is an easy-to-remember acronym for "All for one and one for all."
- Don't use the same password to access all of your online accounts.
- Passwords should be updated every few months. It may be helpful to change your password-protected websites on a rotating cycle to be sure that you are always using an up-to-date, secure password.
- Consider using a secure wallet to store your passwords. You would only have to remember one password. The secure wallet stores passwords securely and is encrypted.
If you suspect your Pacific Service CU accounts have been compromised, contact us immediately at (888) 858-6878 so that we can assist you in safeguarding your information.
Review Your Credit Report
Skilled identity thieves use a variety of methods to gain access to your personal information. The best way to protect yourself is to educate yourself against fraud such as identity theft and to be aware of common scams. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is a great resource for consumer information about Identity Theft and Current Scams.
Another important way to combat fraudulent activity on your accounts is to get a credit report. The law allows one free credit report per consumer per year. Credit reports will show any new account activity recorded in your name. If an identity thief has opened credit accounts in your name, they will show up on this report.
We encourage members to review their credit report annually. Here's what you should look for and what it means to your credit:
- Accuracy - Review the entire report for general accuracy. If you see any accounts that you didn't open or any errors with existing accounts, you should contact the credit bureau to initiate the process to correct them.
- Inquiries - Your credit report will show who has been accessing your credit report. Soft inquiries include inquiries made by creditors with whom you already have a credit account, inquiries where you're monitoring your own credit, or when your credit is checked by a lender to make you a pre-approved credit offer. Since lenders are not making a lending decision or guaranteeing approval, these inquiries are typically considered promotional and won't affect your credit score. Hard inquiries occur when a business has accessed your credit report in connection with an application for credit. If you see any hard inquiries that you don't recognize, it may be an indicator that someone is trying to use your credit score or is committing identity theft. In that event, report the inquiry to the credit bureau.
- Credit monitoring – Consider using a credit monitoring service. Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion all offer fee-based monitoring services. Other resources include LifeLock and Identity Guard.
You can access your free credit report here.
ATM Security
The simplest and most effective way to protect your ATM card and PIN is to cover the keypad from view when you enter your PIN.
Developing this simple habit can prevent thieves from accessing your money. If you've used an ATM in the past and you remember it being a motorized ATM (one that takes and holds your card during your transaction) and now it's a "dip" ATM (one that you simply dip in and pull your card out), take caution. A skimming device may be attached.
Similarly, if the card swipe doesn't match the color or style of the ATM machine, it might be a skimmer. Compare the card device to others at nearby ATMs or gas pumps. Gas stations that ask for your zip code instead of your PIN may be a safer option.
Above all, trust your instincts. If you suspect foul play, or if you're in doubt about the authenticity of a machine, use a different machine or payment method.
PIN Security
Here are a few simple tips to help keep your personal identification number (PIN) number secure:
- Do not write your PIN number down anywhere, not even on your card.
- Treat your card like cash and checks.
- Do not leave your card out in the open so someone may be tempted to use it.
- If you suspect that someone knows your PIN, change it immediately.
Here are a few tips to help you choose a PIN Number:
- Your PIN should not be a sequence of repeating numbers or something obvious such as 1234.
- Choose a number that's easy to remember, but add a fixed amount to each digit or pair of digits. So 1457 plus 2 would become 3679.
- Possibly choose a date that means something to you, and only you.
- Create a PIN from a series of letters or words. Use the initial letters of a short phrase or uncommon words. Most keypads on ATMs have letters as well as numbers.
Elder Financial Fraud
Here are a few preventive measures to secure your finances, detect the signs that someone is targeting you, and how to resolve an incidence of fraud should you find yourself a victim.
- If you are unsure about how a financial product works, don't buy it. If the financial professional cannot or will not explain the product clearly, find another company.
- Just because the advice comes from an expert, it may not mean it's a good recommendation for you. Take into consideration your specific situation and circumstances.
- Don't confuse acquaintance with trust. Just because a professional lives in your neighborhood or belongs to your networking group, it does not mean they are the best choice for what you need.
If you suspect you are being targeted for fraud, contact us immediately at (888) 858-6878 so that we can assist you in safeguarding your information at Pacific Service Credit Union.
Report Fraud
If you suspect that you have been a victim of fraud or your account has been compromised, immediately call a member service representative at (888) 858-6878. We can cancel compromised cards, change your account number or add a password to your account for future transactions.

When I first came across the term "Carbon Accounting," I had no idea what they were talking about, so I looked it up. According to Wikipedia, "Carbon Accounting is the accounting process undertaken to measure the amount of carbon dioxide equivalents that will not be released into the atmosphere as a result of Flexible Mechanisms projects under the Kyota Protocol." The Kyota Protocol identifies six greenhouse gases that are to be accounted for: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, HFCs, PFCs, and sulfur hexafluoride. Carbon accounting consists of the process of using software programs and actual observations to account for the six greenhouse gases noted above. A quick search of the Internet produced some thirty-eight software programs called enterprise carbon accounting (ECA).
So, who sets the standards for the carbon accountant? The American Carbon Registry (ACR) is the standard setter for carbon accounting. They publish standards, methodologies, protocols, and tools for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting; which are all based on ISO 14064. The process for development and approval of the standards and methodologies is very similar to the process followed by the FASB for setting financial accounting standards.
There are a number of Fortune 500 companies including Coca Cola, Google, and Wal-Mart who already voluntarily track and report their yearly greenhouse gas emissions. Wal-Mart has announced that they also want all of the products they sell to have an eco-label. So, when Wal-Mart's 100,000 plus vendors start monitoring their CO-2 emissions they will all need carbon accountants and auditors. According to the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute, "The world faces a shortage of greenhouse gas professionals with the skills needed to meet current measurement, reporting and, verification needs. Some industry experts believe that a substantial majority of all U.S. public companies will need at least a part-time GHG accountant or consultant in the near future.
Measuring, accounting, and auditing greenhouse gas emissions potentially have opened up a whole new line of work for accountants. What do you think?

Family is visiting from out of town and then I'm off to Orlando for work. Am still working on and organizing the Mierzejewski information sent to me by Garret and have some Plenzler information to post. In the meantime, enjoy these videos courtesy of Public TV WTGE Toledo. The first is a short (less than two minutes) clip of the Polish community in Toledo. The second is a 41 minute episode from the "Cornerstones" series produced by WGTE Public Television in Toledo that provides interviews and historical information about the Kuschwantz and Lagrinka neighborhoods in Toledo.
I can't directly embed the entire episode, but here is the link to the WGTE website and the full episode:
If time permits before I leave for Florida, I may post a bit on the Plenzlers, but I can't promise anything. I will return in a few weeks.

DOVER, Delaware (Reuters) - Delaware legalized gay marriage on Tuesday, making it the 11th U.S. state to extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.
The state Senate approved the bill by a vote of 12-9 on Tuesday and Governor Jack Markell signed it into law half an hour later.
"I do not intend to make any of you wait one moment longer," said Markell, a Democrat who has been an outspoken advocate for same-sex marriage rights. The measure, which the state's lower house approved several weeks ago, will take effect on July 1.
Delaware is the second state in less than a week to extend marriage rights to gay couples. On Friday, Rhode Island lawmakers gave final approval to a similar measure, which Governor Lincoln Chafee, an independent, then signed into law. Gay couples in Rhode Island can marry from August 1.
During a three-hour debate before the vote, opponents of the bill questioned why civil unions, which were legalized for same-sex couples in the state two years ago, were not enough. They expressed worry that business owners who hold a moral objection to homosexuality will be compelled to, for example, cater same-sex weddings.
But state Senator Karen Peterson, who is gay, said the bill was about fairness and equality.
"If my pursuit of happiness somehow demeans or diminishes your marriage, then you need to work on your marriage," Peterson said.
Kira Bell, a probation and parole officer who attended the vote with her wife, Karla Bell, said: "How do you answer someone when they ask what does it feel like to be equal?"
"It's like we can finally exhale," she said. The couple were married in Connecticut.
The attention of advocates will now turn to Minnesota. On Thursday, the state House will take up a same-sex marriage bill.
Minnesota House Speaker Paul Thissen had said previously that a vote would not be scheduled unless there was enough backing to approve the measure, indicating that legislative leaders believe enough representatives support the bill for it to pass the House.
A vote has not yet been scheduled in the state Senate, but Senate Majority Leader Thomas Bakk has said that he believed there was enough support among senators to approve the measure.
Minnesota voters in November rejected a ballot measure that would have enshrined the state's current ban on same-sex marriage in its constitution.
Lawmakers in Illinois are also considering a same-sex marriage bill.
Other states that allow same-sex marriage are: Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Iowa, Maine, Maryland and Washington. Same-sex marriage is also legal in Washington, D.C.
A majority of U.S. states have constitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Award-winning writer-director Nathaniel Kahn returns to Chestnut Hill later this month for a question-and-answer session following the screening of "My Architect," his Oscar-nominated homage to his father, visionary architect Louis Kahn.
It will be shown as part of the Chestnut Hill Historical Society's celebration of 20th century architecture in Chestnut Hill, sponsored by Elfant Wissahickon Realtors. The screening will be held at the Woodmere Art Museum at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 30. Light refreshments will be served.
A film-festival favorite, "My Architect" earned Kahn the Directors Guild of America award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary in 2004 and four-and-half stars from Roger Ebert. Subtitled "A Son's Journey," it weaves together a biography of the elder Kahn, a tour of his major buildings, and a son's search for his largely absent and always elusive father into an emotionally and visually compelling narrative.
The great achievements of Louis Kahn's professional life – monumental buildings like the Salk Institute in La Jolla, Ca., and the spectacular national capitol complex at Dacca, Bangladesh – are chronicled with dramatic cinematography. The private drama of his personal life – his longstanding extramarital affairs with two different women, one of whom was Nathaniel Kahn's mother – is equally explored. The film shines a bright light on the genius of the architect, but the identity of the man remains something of an enigma.
In addition to this special screening of "My Architect," the Historical Society is also presenting an exhibit at it's headquarters and a self-guided tour of five outstanding mid-century Modern homes. This project is made possible with the additional support of E.B. Mahoney Builders, Matthew Millan Architects, Inc., McCoubrey/Overholser Building Construction, Nolan Painting, Runyan & Associates Architects, and VSBA, LLC. Anyone attending these events will receive a copy of our newly revised "20th Century Chestnut Hill" map and guide, compliments of Valley Green Bank.
Tickets for the screening are $15, available at www.chhist.org and at CHHS, 8708 Germantown Ave., up until 6:30 p.m. on May 30th. Woodmere Art Museum policy prohibits on site sales. Admission is free for CHHS members and can be reserved online. The site also includes links to the trailer for "My Architect" and to a TED talk by Nathaniel Kahn that includes clips from the film.

Counting the Invisible Adjunct
To the Editor:
I noted with dismay that two of the "News" columns in the October 1998 issue ("History Salaries Show Further Improvement" and "PhD Production Dropped Slightly in 1996") were based on statistical data that did not include specific information on adjunct faculty. This omission renders much of this data essentially useless. Robert Townsend's summary of the CUPA and AAUP data notes a marked trend in the replacement of senior tenured faculty with new junior faculty, yet no mention is made of the significant trend in replacing tenured faculty with non-tenure-track adjunct faculty.
Perhaps even worse is the data provided on PhD production, based on the National Research Council's annual report and information provided to the AHA for its annual Directory of History Departments and Organizations. This article states that "on the positive side, among [history PhDs] who had landed jobs, the proportion that found teaching positions rose dramatically to 76.3 percent from just 60 percent the year before." Yet we then read that "the data does not provide qualitative information on how many of these positions were full-time/tenure-track jobs or just short-term/part-time employment."
I fear the consequences of distributing such misleading data to current and potential graduate students, thus disguising the fact that the vast majority of academic positions in history are now temporary jobs with abysmal pay and no benefits. As a full-time adjunct instructor earning the rare "luxuries" of a livable wage and health insurance, I still am threatened every year with being reduced to a part-time position at a poverty-level salary. If as a profession we are going to make any progress toward ending the exploitation and overuse of adjunct faculty, we first need to acknowledge their existence. As a step in the right direction, the AHA should ask for explicit information on adjuncts, both full-time and part-time, in the information gathered for the annual Directory. I have never been in my department's listing despite the fact that I have taught full-time at this institution for the last four years. Few colleges or universities will report this information unless it is demanded of them. We should also put pressure on other reporting institutions, such as the AAUP, the CUPA, and the Chronicle of Higher Education, to specifically include adjunct faculty in any surveys they conduct.

Sunday night, the HBO series "Game of Thrones" begins its fourth season of realpolitik-with-dragons. And perhaps no one has longed for a return to the corpse-strewn land of Westeros so much as connoisseurs of the show's invented languages, Dothraki and Valyrian.
Over the past 30 years, Hollywood has become far more interested in getting languages right onscreen—even ones that are completely made up. An actor who once would've barked some gibberish is now given lines drawn from an entire alien language, with a complex grammar and vocabulary.
In the past, the people writing these languages have been mostly academic linguists. But David Peterson, the inventor of Dothraki and Valyrian, is something of a new breed. The creator of 12 languages before he wrote Dothraki in 2010, Peterson is not just the first major language creator in Hollywood to identify primarily as a "conlanger," or maker of constructed languages. He's also probably the only professional language creator ever. It's an odd career path, but with Hollywood heavily investing in geeky authenticity, it may well be one that's here to stay.
Language creation has been around for centuries, the refuge of utopians, fantasists, and plain language nerds. Some creators—like L.L. Zamenof, who invented Esperanto in the late 19th century with the goal of uniting mankind through a universal language—have political purposes. Others are writers adding texture to a fantasy world: That's how we got the Fremen language of Frank Herbert's "Dune," Anthony Burgess's Nadsat in "A Clockwork Orange," or the creolized English spoken in Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle." Finally, there are people who invent languages for the pure intellectual heck of it. The social uselessness of creating, say, a language derived from chipmunk noises or one that uses only vowels accounts for the shy embarrassment many conlangers in the final category feel about their pursuit. J.R.R. Tolkien, who said he wrote the "Lord of the Rings" books basically for the joy of spinning out the language families of Middle-earth, called it his "secret vice."
This sentiment may explain the distinction between those who write languages for love and those who do it for, you know, practical reasons. Marc Okrand, creator of "Star Trek"'s hugely popular Klingon, said he doesn't exactly consider himself a conlanger: "I got into it because I was asked to do it for a movie, not because I had a passion initially for making up languages....But now I'm a conlanger because I've made up languages." Paul Frommer, creator of the Na'vi language from "Avatar," told me, "I was not a conlanger prior to 'Avatar.'"
Peterson, meanwhile, talks about conlanging as a defining obsession, "a hobby I couldn't kick." He began inventing languages when he was an undergrad at Berkeley before going on to a master's in linguistics at UC San Diego. In 2007, he helped form the Language Creation Society, a conlangers group. When the producers of "Game of Thrones" needed someone to write a language for the warlike, horse-loving Dothraki tribe in season one, Arika Okrent, a linguist and author of the book "In the Land of Invented Languages," suggested they ask the LCS. Peterson rose to the occasion, and his Dothraki, with Russian, Turkish, Estonian, and other influences and a lot of words about horses, was the result. "It's a native conlang conlang," Okrent said.
Peterson argues that there are crucial differences in having a conlanger write your language, as opposed to an academic linguist. Conlangers are more aware of the history of other created languages, he says, a study that improves their artistry and tends to create languages that are less evocative of natural languages: "If you're hiring a conlanger specifically as opposed to a linguist, what you'll see is sources that can't be as easily defined."
Frommer, a linguistics PhD who was a business communications professor at USC before retiring, demurred on this point: "I really don't know if we approached things that differently," he told me. Frommer didn't study other conlangs, not wanting to be influenced in his work. But both Frommer and Peterson followed Tolkien's approach of starting with a proto-language and aging it based on principles of historic linguistic shift, thus creating a flexible, more authentic-sounding language. Both infused their invented languages with cultural specificity: Dothraki, for example, has no word for "please." Na'vi, due to the importance of ceremony on Pandora, has a ceremonial register with different versions of pronouns.
The real differences may be less linguistic than cultural—and professional. Peterson's prominence in the conlanging community gave Dothraki an immediate stamp of nerd authenticity, a boon in an age when fan attention to details like period slang and dress has reached obsessive heights. Whereas Klingon and Na'vi fans had to seek out Okrand and Frommer, Peterson was present in online forums from the very beginning, as obsessive as anyone else. And, unlike Okrand and Frommer, who never sought to become full-time conlangers, he's parlayed the gig into an ongoing career: As far as he knows, Peterson is the only person in the world who earns a living by making up languages. He's since written conlangs for "Thor: Dark World" and the SyFy show "Defiance." The upcoming season of "Game of Thrones" features a new Valyrian dialect he wrote, Meereenese, which involves "a lot of shushing" noises, he said. Tolkien's "secret vice" has, today, become a respectable profession.
Whether Peterson's "Game of Thrones" languages will endure longer than the run of the show is still in question. And one unexpected threat to Dothraki might be that it does its job too well. Richard Littauer, a Web developer in Brooklyn, helped write the first Na'vi dictionary and also helped found the original Dothraki Web forum. He says he found Dothraki more "fleshed out" and "a little more realistic" than Na'vi. But he couldn't enjoy the language without thinking of the ferocious Dothraki themselves.
"I'm not a bloodthirsty Mongol warrior," he explained, with a hint of regret.Britt Peterson is a writer in Washington, D.C.

LS/SPhotographs by Beate Gutschow
Availability: In stock
Copublished with the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College Chicago.
Beate Gütschow: LS/S, the first monograph of this exceptional artist, features two bodies of work that compel the viewer to think about humankind's celebration of nature and our ceaseless desire to control it. In these luscious, digitally produced photographs each detail is carefully controlled. Every blade of grass, pebble, and nonchalant passerby has been painstakingly orchestrated by the artist, who draws on the traditions of Romantic-era painters and photo legends Lewis Baltz and Bernd and Hilla Becher. The landscapes (series LS) are constructed to convey the "perfect" pastoral scene. In stark contrast, the cityscapes (series S) present an eerily familiar vision of a nonexistent but clearly dystopian form of architecture. Although the two series present seemingly tranquil settings that at first appear as binary opposites, in fact, they are equally fraught with issues of control, inauthenticity, and the pursuit of perfection.
Beate Gütschow (born 1970, Mainz, Germany) studied at the School of Fine Arts, Oslo, and the School of Fine Arts, Hamburg. She has appeared in numerous shows throughout Europe and U.S. solo shows at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Columbia College Chicago and Danziger Projects, New York. Awards include the 2006 Ars Viva Prize, an Otto-Dix-Prize of New Media, and a Villa Aurora fellowship. She lives in Berlin and is represented by Danziger Projects, New York; Barbara Gross Galerie, Munich; and Produzentengalerie, Hamburg.

Have you ever noticed that you still may feel stressed, even two or three days after a big upset? You and your spouse have an argument, there's a financial scare, or any other number of moderately big stressors. The issue may already be resolved, but for days, you may still experience headaches, sleepless nights, high reactiveness in seemingly unrelated situations, stomach upset, appetite loss or increase, or just a pervading sense of tension or nervousness, unrest. These are the lingering effects of cortisol on the brain.
Cortisol is suppose to be our friend. It's a chemical flooded onto our brain tissue during times of high stress which causes every part of our functioning to be on unusually high alert, sometimes called the "fight or flight" reaction. It's especially high during and after a particularly frightening circumstances, such as witnessing or being victim to a crime, natural disaster, or war. It's suppose to be our friend because it helps us protect ourselves or seek refuge.
But, what happens when our brain is continually flooded with cortisol, on a regular basis? Well, we can't go around with our fight or flight instinct "on" all of the time without dire results: high blood pressure, stroke, malfunctioning of all our organs. In short, a life of high stress and anxiety is what's killing most Americans, if you look at the rates of death by high blood pressure and heart disease. Our bodies aren't meant to be on perpetual high alert. Anxiety kills.
So….how does this play out in the body of a baby? Studies have shown that babies left alone to cry experience a flood of cortisol on their brains. These babies experience higher blood pressure than the average baby. In fact, although all babies and toddlers who attend daycare experience a slight rise in blood pressure upon leaving their parent, compared to at-home companions, they experience a lowering, or normalizing of blood pressure, upon returning home at the end of day,…except for babies who are left to cry alone as part of of their nightly routine. These babies not only experience higher blood pressure than other daycare babies, but their blood pressures also do not normalize upon returning home at end of day.
What's going to happen to these little ones who experience a flooding of cortisol on their brains on a daily baisis? Studies indicate they will likely suffer more from digestion problems, anxiety issues, and will be more likely to develop diabetes, heart disease, and other long term complications related to cronic anxiety as adults. Why do they eventually fall asleep? Because it's their flight mechanism. Why do we want our children to learn to go to sleep via cortisol induced flight reflex? Because it will make them able to put themselves to sleep? At what cost?
Studies are proving everyday what mother's instinct has shouted for years: babies and children need comfort while they are drifting off to dreamland. They need to feel that mother or father is near. They need to be rocked, held, touched. How sad if we lived in a world where lullabies never existed! How confusing to a child to be prepped for bed by comforting things, like baths, warm milk, song….only to be left completely alone in the end to "cry it out"!
Have you been told it "makes them stronger people"? But, maybe it doesn't. Is it worth the health risks?
It you are are having trouble gentling your little one to sleep, seek the help of your local LLL chapter or leader, numerous mothering message boards, or a good attachment promoting, sleep-help book. One author that has been a great source of help to so many families is Elizabeth Pantley, author of "The No-Cry Sleep Solution" series of books.
Wherever you look, find a solution, don't let them cry uncomforted, and trust your instincts. They're God's way of helping us keep our children safe.
My little ones are waking up, but I will be back soon to list some references for these studies for you. Many Blessings!

An economic system based on private ownership in which the major goal is to obtain profit. A free market economy.
by Gavrik July 04, 2005
An economic system based on private ownership of the means of production, in which personal bling can be acquired through investment of capital and employment of peeps. Capitalism is grounded in the concept of fo' real enterprise, which argues that the man's intervention in the economy should be restricted and that a free market, based on supply and demand, will ultimately maximize consumer dough. These principles were most notably pwned in Adam Smith's treatise, The Wealth of Nations (1776), in which he opposed the prevailing theory of mercantilism. Capitalism has existed in a limited form in the economies of all hoods, but its modern importance dates at least from the Industrial Revolution that began in the 18th century, when bankers, merchants, playas and industrialists (the bourgeoisie) began to displace landowners in political, economic, and social importance, particularly in Great Britain. Capitalism stresses freedom of individual economic enterprise; however, government action has been and is required to curb its playa-hating, which have ranged from slavery (particularly in Britain and the United States), haxors(In Diablo and CS servers), and apartheid (in South Africa) to monopoly cartels and financial fraud. Capitalism does not presuppose a specific form of social or political organization-type shit: the democratic socialism of the Scandinavian states, the consensus politics of Japan, and the state-sponsored rapid industrial growth of South Korea while under military pwnage all coexist with capitalism. Yet despite the capitalist ideal of "hands-off" government, significant government 1337ness has existed in most capitalist nations at least since the Great Depression in the 1930s. In the United States, it exists in the form of subsidies, tax credits, incentives, free hours of AOL, and other types of exemptions. Though private production plays a major role in the economies of Germany and Japan, both nations have centrally planned industrial policies in which bankers, industrialists, playas, pimps, hos and labor unions meet and seek to agree to wage policies and interest rates; these countries reject the idea of letting the bling wholly determine the economy. The collapse of the Soviet Union and its fugly states in Eastern Europe (1989-91) left those countries with a heavy burden, much shit, and an uncertain future, representing a substantial retreat in the power of capitalism's traditional economic opponent, socialism. Also uncertain is the future course of China's economy, in which small-scale capitalism is increasingly allowed within a strictly Communist political deal.

You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

A system that never really existed and is made fun of by people who desire socialism, which also has never really existed.
by Squamous Chicken August 19, 2003
A system of poltical, social, and economic organization, in which, physical force is barred from human relationships. To the extent that it has been tried, its results have been amazing. I am typing this on a computer made by the capitalist system, for instance.
While there has been no example of pure capitalism, America at certain times in history was close, and Hong Kong has been close to pure capitalism. Notice the level of economic develop of these places under capitalism.
by Drew Rawlings January 02, 2004
Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned. Under capitalism the state is separated from economics (production and trade), just like the state is separated from religion. Capitalism is the system of of laissez faire. It is the system of political freedom.

Collaboration has Power
Catastrophic failures. Unplanned downtime. These are words maintenance managers at factories around the world could do without. Because what they both lead to is decreased production, increased costs and missed customer deadlines.
In today's global economy, heavy industry and process manufacturers are not only competing with the plant or mill down the road; they're competing against others around the world. That means key machines must be up-and-running as much as possible.
SKF's asset management services help heavy industry customers predict when those machines may fail and plan shutdowns and repairs at the right time.
SKF works closely with process pulp kraft mill Zellstoff Celgar in British Columbia, Canada on improving asset efficiency at the mill. In 2012, the team even had zero minutes of unplanned downtime. Hear their story.

The nomination comes on the heels of an extremely busy year for Dave who has travelled the globe with his new band, DeORO. The Best Instrumental Arrangement (Category 85) nomination is Dave's first-ever Grammy nomination recognition as a solo artist performing on his own project.
Dave Eggar noted, "This the first time a project of mine has been recognized by Naras for Grammy consideration. I am extremely honored that the track we all worked on with Gil Goldstein has been nominated in this category (85) for Best Instrumental Arrangement. We're especially pleased that we could honor the late, great Michael Brecker with this unique tribute and arrangement of his classic song."
Time Magazine calls Dave Eggar, "An exceptionally accomplished all-around musician... Dave Eggar's life in music seems an unending crescendo". The New York Times chimes in, "Eggar's work is breathtaking ... a deliverance from the sedate formality of the typical cello recital." Amazingly, Dave body of work is consistently greeted with superlatives and rave reviews. It's a luxury not often enjoyed by an artist who records in diverse genres and performs live in multiple musical categories, seamlessly moving between each, be it Pop, Rock, Jazz, R&B, New Age, World or Classical music. His ability to effortlessly blur the lines between any musical style is truly unique. That's the magic of Dave Eggar.
Kingston Morning was recorded in Brooklyn, NY; Kingston, Jamaica and Big Stone Gap, Virginia. Released by Domo Music Group (http://www.domo.com/), favorite Eggar tracks on the release include Earth's Paradise (vocals by Jamaican roots reggae legend Luciano); Follow Me to the Sun (vocals by Chuck Palmer); High Atmosphere (vocals by NPR's Robin & Linda Williams - Prairie Home Companion); Itsbynne Reel and Jacob's Vision (vocals by Bluegrass legend Dr. Ralph Stanley - O Brother Where Art Thou).
Regarding the Grammy nominated CD, Dave notes, "The new project represents to me a new and extreme brand of high-risk, high-impact classical crossover. Kingston Morning juxtaposes Reggae music and Appalachian music in a look at local culture fighting for a voice in an increasingly global environment."
Eggar says this project was an especially moving and emotional recording for to make. He adds, "This is a project of ingenuity and improvisation which took many hours of dedicated perseverance to complete. With open minds and open hearts, our lives were forever changed as these unique Reggae and Appalachian collaborations took shape. As we immersed ourselves in these seemingly disparate cultures, amazing similarities in the history and storied cultures emerged. Their individual hopes, dreams and the power of the music eventually seemed to bring the music and people of Jamaica and Virginia ever closer together."
Dave continues, "My imagination has always been captivated by the music and culture of Jamaica and Appalachia. These journeys to Kingston and Big Stone Gap were truly a life altering experience for me. I am especially proud of the music that has been produced as a result of our efforts."
A musical prodigy as a child, Dave Eggar began playing the cello and piano at age three. By the age of seven, Dave had performed on Broadway and with the Metropolitan Opera. He debuted at Carnegie Hall at the age of 15. Dave is a graduate of Harvard University and the Julliard School's Doctoral Program.
Mr. Eggar has appeared worldwide as a solo cellist and pianist. A virtuoso of many musical styles, Dave has performed and recorded with artists in numerous genres including Evanescence, The Who, Michael Brecker, Josh Groban, Coldplay, Beyonce, Pearl Jam, Fall Out Boy, Dave Sanborn, Kathleen Battle, Ray Lamontagne, Roberta Flack, The Spin Doctors, Dianne Reeves, Brandy, Carly Simon, Phil Ramone, Hannah Montana, Duncan Sheik, Sinead O'Connor, Bon Jovi, Manhattan Transfer, Corinne Bailey Ray and many more.
His list of awards and accomplishments includes accolades from Time Magazine, ASCAP, the National Endowment for the Arts, Sony Records Elevated Standards Award in classical music, the Geraldine Dodge & Leonard Bernstein Foundations, and at 15 was the youngest winner in the history of the Artists International Competition.
Dave's mission to "not just cross over, but to cross through" multiple genres of music is apparent in all of his releases. Whether it's classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music, Eggar finds a common voice within his musical vocabulary and introduces it with his own unique imaginative vision.
About Deoro: Featuring the talents of Chuck Palmer and Manuel Quintero, The Dave Eggar band has appeared at Lincoln Center, Alice Tully Hall, Walter Reade Theatre, Harmony Atrium, Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall, St Louis Center for the Contemporary Arts, Walker Center for the Arts Peter Britt Festival, Shinjuku Park Tower Hall Tokyo and Herbst Theater.
Chuck Palmer: Drummer, percussionist, programmer, producer, and song writer Chuck Palmer began playing the drums at age 12. His early playing took shape in local indie rock bands (Earwig) and high school jazz fusion projects, as he quickly developed a reputation among the diverse and talented music scene in Columbus, Ohio.
In 1997 Chuck received a BM in Jazz Studies from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio where he studied under Bob Breithaupt (past president and a member of the Board of Directors of the Percussive Arts Society).
He performed over 1,000 concerts over a 4-year period (1996 - 2000) with the Columbus, Ohio based group Arnett Howard's Creole Funk Band.
Chuck moved to NYC in 2000 where he has performed, produced and recorded with artists including: David Eggar (Evanescence, Michael Brecker, The Who, Sheryl Crow); Dr. Ralph Stanley (bluegrass legend, O' Brother Where Art Thou); Luicano (reggae superstar); Lucia Micarelli (Josh Groban, Jethro Tull); Sly Dunbar (Black Uhuru, Sly and Robbie); Gil Goldstein (Miles Davis, Michael Brecker, Pat Metheny, David Sanborn); Robin and Linda Williams (NPR Prairie Home Companion); Jay Newland (Norah Jones); Everett Bradley (Bon Jovi, Hall and Oats); Itaal Shur (Maxwell, Santana); Tony Scherr (Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Norah Jones); Heather Holley (Christina Aguilera); Amy Lee (Evanescence); Holly Brook (Fort Minor); RJD2; The Villa-Lobos Brothers (Dan Zanes); Sasha Lazard; Rachael Sage; Katie Costello; and Lucy Woodward.
Chuck recently finished Kingston Morning, the latest project from Dave Eggar. Included in his credits on this album: co-producer (along with Dave Eggar and Jay Newland), drummer/percussionist, programmer, song writer, vocalist (Follow Me To The Sun), engineer, and mixer.
Manuel Quintero: Manuel Quintero began his musical training at Capital University, where his participation with jazz ensembles included performances with guest artists Ney Rosauro, Bobby Sanabria, and Maria Schneider. After private studies with Columbus Symphony Orchestra's principal bassist, Mark Morton, he won positions with Central Ohio Symphony, Welsh Hills Symphony, and substituted with Opera Columbus.
In 2008, Manuel completed graduate studies at UCLA, where he studied double bass with Los Angeles Philharmonic principal bassist, Christopher Hanulik, orchestral studies with Neal Stulberg, and chamber music with Antonio Lysy. His role as principal bass of UCLA Philharmonic led to performance opportunities with American Youth Symphony, and guest artists Shardad Rohani, David Benoit, and Alan Silvestri.
Manuel is currently principal bass of the Golden State Pops Orchestra, whose guest artists have included many of LA's important film and TV composers, including Chris Young, John Ottman, and Michael Giacchino. He currently substitutes with several Los Angeles area orchestras and jazz groups, and performs regularly with singers and songwriters in the pop music scene.c.com And go to http://www.domo.com/ for more information on the new album release.

'One for the Ages': Super Regional Knotted After Thriller
LSU Sports Interactive
BATON ROUGE -- Down by three runs with three outs remaining in the history of Alex Box Stadium, No. 2 LSU completed a comeback for the ages by plating five runs in the top of the ninth inning to square the 2008 NCAA Baton Rouge Super Regional at a game apiece with a 9-7 win over UC Irvine on Sunday.
"That was one for all the ages," LSU head coach Paul Mainieri said. "I will always remember this no matter what happens in the future. I know it seems like I say the same things over and over again but these kids don't know how to quit. I can honestly tell you that everyone in that dugout believed we could do it and there was no quit in anybody. One guy after another just kept doing it and it was an amazing thing."
The Tigers (47-17-1), who saw their 23-game winning streak come to an end Saturday, forced a winner-take-all game to be played at 6 p.m. Monday. LSU will serve as the home team after winning a coin flip prior to Sunday's contest. The winner of the third game will advance to the College World Series which gets underway next Saturday and Sunday.
LSU junior left-hander Blake Martin (5-3, 4.88) will take to the mound in hopes of sealing the Tigers' 14th appearance in Omaha and the program's first since 2004. UC Irvine will start sophomore right-hander Bryce Stowell (8-2, 2.77).
LSU recorded its 29th come-from-behind win of the year, and the Tigers plated seven runs in the final two frames after being stymied by Anteater starter Daniel Bibona for over seven innings.
Bibona took a comfortable 7-2 lead into the top of the eighth when left fielder Jared Mitchell sparked the rally with a leadoff solo home run. First baseman Matt Clark closed the deficit to 7-4 with an RBI single.
Right-hander Louis Coleman (7-0), in relief of starter Jared Bradford, worked a scoreless seventh and eighth to hold the deficit at three runs heading into the top of the ninth inning.
Centerfielder Leon Landry worked a leadoff walk on ace closer Eric Pettis, and second baseman Ryan Schimpf doubled down the right field line. Third baseman Michael Hollander then loaded the bases with a single to deep short. Mitchell walked to drive in Landry and cut the lead to 7-5.
With the bases loaded, pinch hitter Nicholas Pontiff drove in Schmipf with a fielder's choice to third base. Trailing 7-6, designated hitter Blake Dean hit an RBI single to right field to tie the game at 7-7 as Mitchell dove in ahead of the throw.
Catcher Sean Ochinko, who entered for Micah Gibbs in the eighth inning, hit a chopper over the third baseman's head to score Pontiff for the game-winning run and give the nearly 7,000 fans in attendance another incredible moment in Alex Box Stadium history.
The Tigers weren't done. After Clark was walked intentionally, shortstop DJ LeMahieu hit a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score Dean for the final margin.
"We've been talking about this the whole season that this is a 25-man roster," Mainieri said. "Landry made a nice running catch in right field. Ochinko comes in with a big hit. These kids might be the superstars. They know that all those players are vital to this club."
Coleman benefited from a diving catch up against the wall by Mitchell to start the ninth. The right-hander pitched around a one-out double to record the final two outs and maintain his undefeated record with three scoreless innings of relief.
"Louis Coleman, there are not enough words to describe him," Mainieri said. "What he has done for our team over the course of this season is absolutely remarkable and that's why I started (Jared) Bradford because I knew I would have Louis at the end."
Pettis (4-3), who entered the game with a 1.65 ERA, suffered the heart-breaking loss after allowing five runs on five hits in an inning of work.
UC Irvine touched Bradford for seven runs on 10 hits in a six-inning start, and the Anteaters seemed to find every hole on hits in the middle frames.
UC Irvine turned a 2-1 deficit into a five-run lead with six runs in the fourth inning. Designated hitter Brock Bardeen homered, and catcher Aaron Lowenstein provided a two-run single. Ollie Linton and Ben Orloff each provided RBI singles.
LSU scored its first two runs on an RBI single from LeMahieu in the second and a run-scoring double by Clark in the third.

LSU vs. UC Irvine
NCAA Baton Rouge Regional-Game 2
June 8, 2008
Opening Statement...
"That was one for all the ages. I will always remember this no matter what happens in the future. I know it seems like I say the same things over and over again but these kids don't know how to quit. I can honestly tell you that everyone in that dugout believed we could do it and there was no quit in anybody. One guy after another just kept doing it and it was an amazing thing. One big at bat after another, then Louis Coleman goes out there in the ninth inning and get's the job done. It was just a tremendously courageous game and I know it's a tough lost for Irvine but we were not ready to say goodbye to Alex Box."
On the comeback...
"It was close when you think about what was at stake. When we went to the World Series against Rice we had a rally in the bottom of the ninth and I guess that one could compare. The thing about it is that Irvine is an outstanding club. They play their game as well as anyone I've ever seen. Every member of that roster plays their role. They do their job and they put a lot of pressure on the defense. We didn't have a lot of composure or poise that one inning on defense. Then we got that big double play to limit the damage at six runs. At that point you don't know if it's going to matter. We were playing hard and we made some mistakes but this comeback is remarkable. I can't be shocked anymore because these kids seem to do it all."
On Louis Coleman and the pinch players...
"We've been talking about this the whole season that this is a 25 man roster. Landry made a nice running catch in right field. Ochinko comes in with a big hit. These kids might be the superstars. They know that all those players are vital to this club. That's what makes it so special they way everyone contributes. Louis Coleman, there is not enough words to describe him. What he has done for our team over the course of this season is absolutely remarkable and that's why I started Bradford because I knew I would have Louis at the end. Bradford really gutted it out and gave us two more innings. I didn't have to bring Louis until the seventh so he had a lot of gas in him."
DH Blake Dean
On making his hits count...
"I think I was getting myself in a bind again and I knew that at some point in the game I'd have to have a big at-bat come around. I came up to a big situation when we had the momentum, we had it flowing and the pitcher seemed to be a little shaken. He put a pitch over the plate that I could handle. I just hit it hard and hoped it found a hole."
On the team mentality...
"The main thing is that no matter what anyone else thinks, every person in our dugout knows it's never over. We are never going to quit. We are never going to stop fighting. We are never going to give up. It doesn't matter if we have two outs, two strikes, in the bottom of the ninth and down eight runs; we still think we can do it. That is the biggest key for us. We keep believing, keep pushing and keep fighting."
P Louis Coleman
On closing the game...
"I came in when we were down 7-2 and I just wanted to give our guys a chance to get the bats going. I stayed down in the zone to try to get some ground balls. They made great plays behind me. The sinker ball for a pitch was working really well today. It helped out a lot."
On the team motto...
"The saying we have in the locker room is Refuse to lose.' I've heard it several times. We go out and everyone believes in everyone, from one to nine. Anyone that comes from the bull pen, we have faith that they are going to get it done. I think it's a team chemistry that we have going together that helps us through."
LF Jared Mitchell
On his home run...
"I just wanted to get on base some kind of way. We couldn't get it all back at once. It got down to two strikes. I told myself to stay inside the baseball and try to go the other way. I hit the ball hard and it just carried it out of the ball park."
Opening Statement
"Hats off to LSU for exploiting and taking advantage of the opportunities that they got in the last couple of innings. I thought that this was a mirror image of the game yesterday when we had opportunities, base on balls and came up with clutch base hits. That is what happened here today, and as we all know, they (LSU) can really swing it. When they got those chances, they did it.
"I'm happy because it was one more in a full string of well-pitched games by Danny (Daniel Bibona). I was really proud of the way our guys filled it up and executed. We did a lot of good things. Again, they did what a good hitting club does when they get those kinds of opportunities."
On who will pitch tomorrow in game three ...
"Bryce Stowell will be the starter tomorrow."
On if he felt comfortable with a five-run lead entering the eighth inning ...
"I think comfortable would be a stretch. I don't think anybody in college baseball or even the big leagues would think it's over when there are still six outs to get. It's the metal bat. It's this ballpark. It's that (LSU's) offense. I thought we were in good shape. I was smart enough to think that way, but we certainly had not begun to count any chickens."
UCI Player Quotes
On his performance...
"It felt good to get out there and feed off the fans a little bit. I got tired towards the end. It was tough out there and it was a tough loss."
On his defensive and offensive play...
"When I picked the guys off at first base and third base, I just saw that they were jumping out there pretty aggressively. We called a pitchout and I got lucky that [LSU LF Jared Mitchell] was out on his front foot and I picked him off. Then I saw at third base that [LSU 2B Ryan Schimpf] was really aggressive trying to read a ball in the dirt or a passed ball and I got a good pitch from [P Daniel Bibona] and I made a good throw.
"I came through today with a good hit and Coach told me he thought I was going get a slider and that we were going hit-and-run on the first pitch. Sure enough, it was a slider and the first pitch hit-and-run got it through."
On why he thinks relief pitcher Eric Pettis had a rough outing...
"He didn't have his stuff. He's been unreal for us this year and he was a little out in front and leaving some pitches up and LSU punished the mistakes that he made. He fell behind in counts and they really took advantage of that."
