IVANPAH >> Corporate executives and some government officials touted the world's largest solar-thermal generating plant — which is visible from the 250 mile-high International Space Station — as a tribute to American ingenuity.
A Google Inc. executive called it "bold" and "innovative" and an important part of the nation's "pathway for a clean energy future."
Similar statements came last week, when the giant array of solar mirrors and towers had its grand opening, complete with a visit from the nation's energy secretary.
But some environmentalists have serious concerns about the environmental disruption the 3,500-acre facility has caused in the High Desert and what will ultimately be the bird, insect and bat toll from the heat emanating from its three towers, which are 100 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty.
The $2.2 billon power plant generates 393 megawatts, enough energy to power 140,000 homes, and in terms of carbon reduction, it is the equivalent of taking 72,000 automobiles off the highway.
April Sall, a conservation director at the Oak Glen-based The Wildlands Conservancy, said that the location for the project is wrong, as it takes prime desert habitat for a large population of desert tortoises and other animals and obliterates a desert "forest" of desert plants.
"There were many other areas that had already been disturbed where they could have put the plant," Sall said.
"I remember as a kid,looking forward to the day when there would be large solar plants in the desert," said David Lamfrom, California desert programs manager for the National Parks Conservation Association. "Never did I imagine they would put one in one of the best desert (wildlife) sanctuaries in California, in front of a sacred Indian peak next to a unit of the national parks."
Ivanpah is near the gateway of the Mojave National Preserve and north of Clark Mountain, a 7,900-foot peak that has religious significance for several Native American groups.
"No rock band will ever make this a good project," Lamfrom said, referring to the fact that the Grammy-nominated pop band The Fray did a music video on the plant site and named its new album "Helios" partially after the 173,000 heliostats, each of each holds two garage door-sized mirrors.
At the ribbon-cutting ceremony last week , U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz informally asked The Fray to become spokesman for renewable energy.
Earlier that day, Moniz said that Ivanpah's low-water usage is attractive considering the California drought and the historically "stressed" condition of the Colorado River.
"We are looking much harder at the energy/water nexus. This plant here (at Ivanpah) is important not only for its solar electricity, but (for) its low water use. … I have been told it has the water requirement of two holes on a golf course."
Ivanpah is "one step in the march" to create green power plants with very low water requirements, he said.
A top executive from the international construction and engineering firm Bechtel, which built Hoover Dam in 1936, called Ivanpah the kind of project that years into the future will be looked at "as a real signature project for our nation."
Officials from NRG Energy Inc., the power plant's managing partner, did not respond Friday to a request for information on the effort to rescue an unexpectedly large number of endangered desert tortoises, which lived on the power plant's sprawling landsite.
At some point those tortoises, now kept in pens some distance from the plant, will be reintroduced to the wild, project officials have said.
Lamfrom said that the survivability of the reintroduced tortoises will be very low.
"Tortoises spend much of their life learning when is the best time of year to visit certain spots in their territory," he said.
In their new location, he said, the tortoises won't know where to find water or certain plant life essential to diet.
Meanwhile, Audubon California "is very concerned about the cumulative impacts on migratory birds, which would be a be a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, said Garry George, renewable energy director for the group.
The 1918 act, one of the nation's earliest environmental laws, makes it illegal to kill, capture or sell migratory birds listed in the bill. It became law during an era when many species were threatened by a demand for bird feathers.
Some 44 birds have been found dead on the plant site, which has three electricity producing units, since it went online in December, officials said last week.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officials could not be reached for comment Friday.
Sall said that 44 known bird kills likely represents only a fraction of the total bird death count because most birds burned at the site would have flown on, perhaps many miles, before succumbing to injuries from the searing heat emanating from the three 459-foot towers.
Due to predation and the distance involved, the true bird death count may never be known, she said. Additionally, heat from the tower may be causing significant casualties to pollinator insects and bats, which also will be difficult to quantify, she said.
George said the big danger period for migratory birds will be in the spring and fall.

Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Windows.
Atlassian Sourcetree is a free Git and Mercurial client for Mac.
|Orlando Wingbrant
The sphinx4scons package provides an SCons tool to invoke the Sphinx documentation generator from SCons build scripts.
It has been tested with SCons v2.0.1 and Sphinx v1.1.2
Provided builder
The Sphinx builder is similar to the Java builder in that the source and the target arguments are directories instead of single files.
The builder will scan the given source directory for source files. It will read the sphinx configuration file for the project and deduce the extension used for source files from there. The builder also honors the exclude_patterns entry in the configuration file.
The return value from the Sphinx builder is dependent upon the documentation format being generated. For example, if the output is a single html file, the name of that file will be the return value. If LaTeX or man files are being generated, the names of these files will be in the return value. File names for different formats are fetched from applicable sections in the sphinx configuration file.
The builder requires at least two arguments, the first is the target directory, and the second is the source directory. There is also a set of optional builder arguments:
- builder
- A string with the name of the documentation generator (sphinx builder) to use. Please see sphinx documentation for available builders. The default sphinx builder to use is the html builder.
- config
- Path to the sphinx configuration file to use.
- doctree
- Path to doctrees directory.
- options
- A string with sphinx_build options. It will be copied verbatim to the command line.
- settings
- A python dictionary with strings. Each entry will be put on the command line as -D "key=value" and will hence override settings in the sphinx configuration file.
- tags
- A python list of strings. Each string will be preceded by -t on the command line, and hence define a tag.
Sphinx('_build/html', '.')
This will generate documentation using the sphinx html documentation generator and the current directory as source and put the resulting files in the _build/html directory.
Sphinx('_build/latex', '.', builder='latex')
This will generate latex documentation (provided that it is set up properly in the sphinx configuration file) in the _build/latex directory.
- Sphinx('_build/doc/dirhtml', 'doc', builder='dirhtml',
- tags=['draft'], config='doc/draft')
This will generate a dirhtml directory structure (see sphinx documentation) in the _build/doc/dirhtml directory, using doc as the source directory and the file doc/draft/conf.py as the sphinx configuration file. Additionaly it will set the tag "draft" on the sphinx command line.
Construction environment variables
The sphinx4scons tool sets and uses the following set of construction set variables.
- The sphinx build script. Default is sphinx-build
- The sphinx builder to use if no other option is given, defaults to html.
- The command line used to invoke sphinx. Default is $SPHINXBUILD $_SPHINXOPTIONS ${SOURCE.attributes.root} ${TARGET.attributes.root}
- This only affects presentation. If set to a non-empty value this string will be displayed when the sphinx command is invoked, instead of the content of the $SPHINXCOM variable.
- Path to sphinx configuration file. The default is "" (the empty string) which will make sphinx use the file conf.py in the source directory.
- Directory for doctrees. The default is "" (the empty string) which will make sphinx fallback to its default value, .doctrees in the target directory.
- Additional command-line flags, will be copied verbatim to the command line. The default is "" (the empty string).
- Generated from SPHINXFLAGS, SPHINXTAGS, SPHINXSETTINGS, SPHINXDOCTREE, SPINXBUILDER, and various arguments to the builder.
- This construction variable is a python dictionary with strings. Each key-value entry will be put on the command line preceded by -D, e.g. the dictionary {"key":"value"}, will be transformed to -D "key=value". It is used to override settings in the configuration file. The default is {} (the empty dictionary).
- This construction variable is a python list of strings. Each entry will be put on the command line as a tag definition, i.e. preceded by -t. The default is [] (the empty list).
Known issues
This module supports building documentation from what scons calls repositories (don't confuse that with source code control repositories). However, due to the way sphinx-build works, all document source files must be in the same directory tree, not part of it in a local diectory and part of it in a repository tree. You can however have the configuration file and files and directories relative to that in a repository and source files in e.g. a local directory.

Do you know what happened on
the 18th of April? You're right.
It's the 75th Anniversary of the
1st Bathhouse ever to appear in
New York city. (First erected in
the immortal year 1895).
Another thing happening the
same night, and of probably a
trifle more interest to certain stu-dents
(namely the freshmen and
sophomore classes), will be the
Annual FS Banquet, titled "April
Showers", or more appropriately
"Bathhouse Blues." This year it is
to be held at the Swiss Chalet in
St. Louis Park from 8:30-12:30.
The banquet committee has real-ly
done themselves proud this year,
and has planned a 'really big
show.' The Rising Tide from Con-cordia
College will be providing
the main musical entertainment,
and a BMOC*, Dave Greener, will
give a short oration on Bathhouse
Blues. Headlining the program will

Howard Engnell (Edgren house

Means Big Man on Campus
Earl Craig, professor in the
Department of Afro-American
Studies at the University of
Minnesota, last week announ-ced
his candidacy to the U.S.
Senate, opposing former Vice-president
Hubert Humphrey.
for U.S. Senator
by Marjorie Rusche
Earl Craig, a black faculty mem-ber
teaching in the Afro-American
studies department at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, announced
his candidacy for the United States
Senate. April 11, at a press confer-ence
held at the Minnesota Press
Association's headquarters
Craig is a graduate of Washing-ton
University, is young (31) and
single. He has been active in state
D.F.L. politics and was formerly
an executive director of the New
Democratic Coalition.
Why is Craig running? ". . .
because the people need and the
times demand forthright and radi-cal
alternatives to failing pro-grams
and insensitive politicians.
Choosing between equally unre-sponsive
candidates is no choice
at all. Clark MacGregor represents
vacillating conservatism, and Hu-bert
Humphry, irrelevant liberal-ism."
Craig has not yet decided whe-ther
he will stage a run off against
Humphrey in the primary or run as
an independent.
Following is his statement re-garding
his candidacy:
"I am this morning announcing
my candidacy for the United States
Senate from Minnesota.
"We are engulfed in many nat-ional
crises—crises of such magni-tude
and fraught with such danger
that we can no longer depend upon
traditional political structures or
trust traditional politicians to deal
with them.
"The men whom most Minneso-tans
expect to receive the Republi-can
and Democratic senatorial no-minations
are traditional politici-ans
It is my belief, and the belief
of those who urged me to run, that
these men are hopelessly out of
touch with both the people of this
state and the issues which press
upon us.
"Neither Republicans nor Demo-cratic
programs have ensured that
there are no hungry people in this
country, or that family farmers
receive adequate incomes.
"The Nixon administration has
chosen to fight inflation by creat-ing
higher unemployment, higher
interest rates, and reduced social
welfare programs. And yet, the
Nixon administration has not judg-ed
it inflationary to build a noisy
and useless supersonic transport
airplane, and a dangerous and use-less
antiballistic missile system.

Christians can't ignore
process of social change
This past week in preparation for the conference of the American
Association of Evangelical Students, which will be held the latter part
of April, I have been reading about the power structure of the United
States. The topic for which I am responsible is that of Urban Issues.
In discussion with the other student who will attend the conference,
to decide exactly what areas my topic of Urban Issues should cover, we
also discussed the possibility of the institutional church as the primary
agent of solution.
However, the more I thought about the idea and discussed it with
others the more impossible it appeared. The institutional church is
not the answer — at least not now, with its present structure and within
its present context. It has neither the willingness, the technical
"know-how," nor the power to solve these problems.
What does? No institution of society has all the three qualifications
just mentioned, or we would not face the problems that we do face
today. But the government does have the power and the technical
"know-how." What it lacks of course is the willingness to change.
This, then, it would seem, is where the Christian can appear on
the scene for while the church as an institution may not be able to
compete with the institution of he government, its members, which
incidentally compose both institutions, may.
The power structure, according to my suspicions, and a recent
book entitled American Society, Inc. (edited by Maurice Zeitlin) is
composed of a three in one institution — the government, the economy,
the military.
Just this precise point needs to be brought home to Americans,
especially Christians. The general public tends to have an abstract
concept of the government. They think of it as something to respect
and pay their taxes to. They are aware in their heads that they are
part of the government theoretically, but the less interaction they
actually have with it, the better off they consider themselves.
If the government is the primary agent of social change and it
appears as though this is the case, we as Christians can not remain
sterile by-standers to the process. We must put the moral strength and
guidence that our Christian faith gives us into action. And action tends
to mean more than prayer, for "faith without works is dead."

water regulating agency. The phosphates speed up the growth of
algae which in turn rob water of the oxygen fish and plants need to
stay alive.
Only national awareness and immediate action by every concerned
citizen can stem the tide of pollution until such time as detergent
formulas are changed and improved sewage systems constructed.
Individual efforts must be directed to switching back to the old
methods of laundering . . . using soap flakes or powders in combination
with water-softening washing soda. According to laundry product
testing by United States environmental engineers, soap products and
washing soda each contain less than one percent phosphates, and
when the two are used together they produce a good wash.
The major hang-up is locating the soap and soda. Although both
are staples on supermarket laundry supply shelves, they're so vastly
outnumbered by the high-phosphate products that it takes some search-ing
and reading of package ingredients to find them. To further add to
the confusion, those who have grown up in the detergent generation do
not realize that a detergent is not a soap. So check labels and buy only
products that won't pollute our waters.

but no one does anything about it.
What can you do about it? After
all, it's those giant factory smoke-stacks
that make our air dirty.

The automobile is responsible
for sixty per cent of the air pollu-tion
in the United States (Environ-ment
Magazine, October 1969). The
internal combustion engine is a
grossly ineffecient machine. At
best it uses 25% of the energy of
combustion for mechanical power,
the remainder is given off as heat.
The next time you put four dol-lars
worth of gas in your tank con-sider
the fact that only one dol-lars
worth of that gas is being used
to drive your car, the other three
dollar's worth is merely heating up
your engine and the air around it.
Of course the oil companies and
state governments are still collet-ing
those three dollars.
The internal combustion engine
liberates various poisons as by-pro-ducts
of the burning of gasoline.
Some of the more familiar ones
are: carbon monoxide, hydrocar-bons,
nitrogen oxides and lead. In
1967 the government spent 3.2 mil-lion
dollars on research on emis-sion
controls for the internal corn-bustion
engine and only $115,000
on research for low-emission al-ternatives

of treating the symptoms, but not
the disease.
There are engines in existence
now which emit a tiny fraction of
the noxious material which are
released by even a controlled in-ternal
conbustion engine. Their
engines are of two general types:
steam and electrical.
The electric engine is no real
solution to the problem since the
the power to charge these batteries
must be produced at a generating
plant which produces the pollution
instead of leaving it for the engine
to produce. Also the electric en-gine
emits significant amounts of
ozone, a dangerous pollutant in its
own right.
The steam engines pioneered by
Willian Lear seem to be the bright
spot in the future of clean air.

If the government was serious
about pollution control, it would
seem logical that it require the
auto industry to research and de-velope
an alternative to the inter-nal
combustion engine. At present
none of the big three car makers
are doing any research in this
area. They are, however, spending
large sums to fight antitrust suits
over their production of emmission

would be tremendously expensive
to re-tool the factories, so we're

people heard this, and told them
that if they had the money, most
of them would not have given it
to a worthy cause because God in-creases
men's wealth when He
knows that they will be dependable
with it.

Elden Elseth said, "We need to

any of it for our grandchildren. It
is estimated by the Committee on
Resources and Man of National
Academy of Sciences that by the
year 2010, forty years hence, 90%
of the world's crude oil will have
been used up. This is a conserva-tive
estimate and assumes a dimi-nished
rate of use after 1980 due
to scarcity.
Perhaps if everyone bought a
Volkswagon for their next car in-stead
of a domestic car Detroit
might be convinced that it was to
their advantage to develop and
market a low-emission engine.
With the $200.00 or so that each
person saves (therby fighting in-flation)
by not taking an ego trip
on a gaudy pig, he could cure his
inferiority complex with a good
analyst rather than feed it.
Or, around the campus, one can
ride a bicycle. The money saved
on gas will pay for the bike. and
the peddler will feel better for it,
it make sense that after two years
of guys and girls skipping six
to seven steps at a time in jump-ing
down the stairs that the extra
tonnage should make them squeak
a little? Does it make sense that
furniture is not indestructable?
I see guys and girls using couches
as if they were trampolines; chairs
as if they were Sherman Tanks,
walls as if they were dart boards,
carpet as if it were cement, hand
railings as if they were the local
Bethel Ski Slope, and using doors
as if they had 360 degree hinges.
If most of us acted at home with
our parents' furniture as we do at
Bethel with their facilities. I'm a-fraid
to see what our homes would
look like.
There are two types of educa-tions
you can get: one is from the
book, and the other is from living.
You can come out of a four-year
college with an average intelligence
and not impress me a bit, if in 18
years of living you can come away
with lower than average intelli-gence
in areas of living.
I don't blame Conference people
who have worked hard for their
money, who don't want to throw it
away on people who are as in-considerate
as some students are.
The New Dorm might have been
built economically, but let's realize
that, and join in and try to pre-serve
it. Let's show somebody that
we do deserve something new, and
that we know how to take care of
what we already have.
As an article another recent
Clarion said, "Students must come
to the realization that this is our
school, not the President's or the
Dean's or our daddy's, but ours."
Let's act like it and God might
see to raise the needed hard earned
money to build the New Campus.

Being spring and all, I find it hard to generate my writings in
order to put together my column. But yet it is also inspirational to
take out all that has had to be locked from the cold and allow those
feelings to run about as a playful pup. Yet I don't wish to describe the
beauty of a new flower or that of kite flying, but the feelings that
all put away for a time. Like loneliness.
In the winter it is easy to be lonely because of the gloominess
of the landscape and the general feeling of things being cold. In Spring
there is no environmental excuse for loneliness yet I still find it
around in me, in my friends, and hiding in other human attics.
Now that I have supposedly located it I would like to express why
it is very important to be there. To put loneliness in concrete symbolism
if there is no hole in one's person, he cannot be filled. I believe that
a person who has a more alienated attitude will identify with mother
nature more securely.
Now as far as I can see the average Bethel College student often
hides his loneliness as a dishonorable trait due to the idea that the
Lord is our only secret-keeper. This causes the student to be
more insensitive and sensitivity is the key to digging nature.
So I think each one of us should get super lonely so as to create a
need for our brothers and sisters or lovers or who ever. This will
assure sincerity and happiness. As the songs go "Only when you're lonely
do you come to me." And only the lonely know the feeling that I

The program closes with the
monumental Finale from Tschai-kowsky's

Whitinger will also use a couple
of march selections—"marches are
what people recognize a band by
and a band can do them better than
any other type of organization."

Now there's a real threat to the athlete's security. I'm talking about
the cafeteria threatening to withhold the extra portion of meat that he
now gets.
This year each athlete (participating athlete, that is) gets a card
during his sport's season which, due to an agreement between the
food service and the athletic department, is supposed to entitle him
to a double portion of meat. Meat is awfully scarce in the cafeteria,
you see. Carbohydrates rule. And although potatoes and bread are
good for energy on short notice, the protein in meat gives longer
lasting endurance type energy. Well, so what, right?
Well. so the food service is not going to give double meat portions
next year unless they get some financial aid from the athletic depart-ment.
That's a pretty dirty trick, seeing the food service can't be
hurting for money that badly. I mean, they made something like $2,000
last year. Plus the fact that with money being so scarce here at Bethel
anyway, the athletic deparment can hardly afford to stay alive itself
much less subsidize the food service. But the threat is not all that
No athlete will be skinnier or any weaker next year than he was
this year even though no doubles will be served. For example, the best
meals of the year are served on Sundays — chicken, steak — you name
it. Sunday meals are usually pretty good, but a guy couldn't get doubles
on Sunday if he tried. Throughout a week of hot dogs, chili, hamburgers
or cheese sandwiches one can get doubles if he begs really hard and has
a starved look on his face. (You can get another hamburger, then,
but what's two times nothing?) Usually, it is next to impossible to get
doubles, even when there is something worthwhile to eat.
The fault doesn't seem to be Alice Johnson's or Wayne Erickson's
so much as it is with some of the ladies who dish the food out. They
don't seem to know of any old doubles rule. When you ask them for
a double portion of meat they give you this line about not knowing
anything about it or that's not my job or something to do with passing
the buck. Honestly, those ladies act like that food was a part of them;
as if they died a little with each extra piece of meat they dished out.
Not all of them are like that, but a few — enough to keep you hungry
after a hard workout.
Another reason for doubles being so scarce is that often the meat
that is ordered is sufficient for only one helping per person.
Actually. the food service does have a couple of good points. For
instance, you can usually get doubles on roast beef sandwiches.
(However, the days on which roast beef sandwiches are served are
few and far between.) Also, especially this year, the food service has
offered more smorgasbords, which are quite good and where a person
can eat all he wants. But smorgasbords don't come that often.
I realize that the food service is doing the athletes a service by
giving them doubles. We are grateful. However, the frequency of
double meat portions is not great enough to make the hassle involved
in receMng one of those portions worthwhile. Therefore, I can't see
why the athletic department should pay for a service which is not
often extended, unless that service is improved. But, with money and
situations being what they are around here, it doesn't seem likely,
does it?

As we come to the end of our
first official month of spring, it is
time once again for Bethel's men
to take to the courts.
This year's tennis team has
been plagued by lack of money,
indoor facilities. and decent home
courts. The tennis team practice at
the St. Paul University of Minne-sota
campus. They will not have
any home meets this year.
With a returning squad of four
lettermen, namely Gary Hassel-blad,
Gary Ask, Steven Bloom, and
Steve Duininck plus freshman and
transfer hopefuls Kim Gustafson,
Tom Billigmeier, Dave Selvig, Jon
Lewis, and Steven Lee. The result
of this years lineup is a squad
with a lot of depth according to
coach Leon Narvaez.
The teams first road trip was to
Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where the
Royals lost to Wisconsin State Uni-versity
by 7-2 score. The loss was
attributed to our team being out
of shape—due to only two prac-tices
so far.
The team looks good overall,
with the first four positions being
proven solid. The coach and play-ers
are expecting at least a .500
Perhaps our biggest proven as-set
is last years MVP, and this
year's captain, Gary Hasselblad.
Gary finishes his career at Bethel
this year to go on to a new career
in hospital administration.
Another bright spot is freshman
Kim Gustafson, who took a third
place in last year's Minnesota
State High School Tennis tourna-ment.
Kim has already proven him-self
at Bethel and is presently
our number two man.
Although all of this year's meets
will be away, a few will be close
enough to attend.

The Bethel Royals have played
their first two baseball games of
the season now and after losing
one to Hamline by a 10-1 score,
and taking one from Concordia in
a 6-0 shut out, it may be good to
take a look at this year's team as it
now stands.
The Royals were plagued by bad
weather in the season opener and
the Pipers put on a real pitching
display while Coach Jack Trager
experimented with different play-ing
combinations. Things looked
tight when pitchers Don Brands-ma
and Steve Shodin had to quit
the team, but with Richardson, who
came through with 3 perfect fin-ings
on Tuesday, the outlook is
Perhaps the strongest area which
has shown up in competition has
been our defense. This was proven
at Concordia where we only had
one error.
The team as it shapes up now
finds an outfield of Steve Hanson
in left, Gary Clark in center and
rookie Tim Eddy in right. The
infield has Jim Delich at third
base, Jim Feldman at short stop,
Doug Warring or Dave Pearson at
second base, and Dean Ericson at
first. The catching is done by Bill
Painter, with the starting pitchers
being Bob Brodin and Lowell Rich-ardson.
The highlight of last Tuesday's
game was probably when Bill
Painter hit the first pitch of the
ball game ten feet over the left
field fence for the first home run
of the season. So far "Broadway"
Bill has been the Royal's leading
hitter with five hits for nine at
bats and two runs.
The hitting and pitching, which
are both "coming along," coupled
with the thus far outstanding de-fense
and enthusiastic coaching of
rookie Ken Ullman, seems to form
a solid team which is looking for
a .500 or better season.

An unexpected tumbling off the highway from Kollam to Trivandrum, lands one in a spectacular hideout, quite contrary to the busy road outside. This homestay is a captivating setting on the banks of the placid waters of Karamana River. The tranquil waters of the estuary are often mistaken for the backwaters, as the river meets the Arabian Sea about 2 kilometers from the house.
Steps leading to the water give a clear view of boats, lazily inching towards the coconut plantations on the opposite bank. A newly built cottage stands at a tempting proximity to water, only a few feet away. This includes a kitchenette and a living room to serve as a separate unit by itself. Two bright yellow cottages are entered through a thatched gate and have a green patch and an elevation in front. The structure serves as a stage for many local artistes, who perform on request for a personal show. Longue chairs in the verandah are perfect to sink in, for a marvelous sun-set.
Priya and Johnâs impeccable hospitality is the result of a long drawn experience of the tourism industry. Their charming and calm demeanor compliments the peaceful setting of the house. Pets are welcome by the couple and their five year old son.

The Pacific Symphony continues with its "Year of the Violin" programming next week with a series highlighted by virtuoso Vadim Gluzman.
The Israeli violinist will be playing Tchaikovsky's venerable Violin Concerto in D major for the concerts on Feb. 23 to 25 in Costa Mesa's Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. All the performances under Carl St.Clair's baton begin at 8 p.m.
There will also be a 7 p.m. pre-concert lecture with Alan Chapman each evening.
An added layer of complexity to this concert is that Gluzman will be playing on a Stradivarius violin made in 1690 that belonged to Leopold Auer, the influential Hungarian violinist whom Tchaikovsky dedicated his Violin Concerto to.
A video interview with St.Clair posted on the Pacific Symphony website notes this. St.Clair describes his elation when first hearing Gluzman play the same Stradivarius that inspired the great Russian composer to write such a compelling piece.
Interestingly enough, history tells us that Auer was less than enthusiastic about the concerto that today is a staple of orchestral programming. He felt it to be uncharacteristic to his idea of what the violin should be. As it were, Auer was not the first to perform the concerto, though years later he did take it up, albeit adding some changes to it that he felt were necessary.
Still, it's safe to say that hearing a Stradivarius played by a master is always divine, but to hear a violin concerto played on the violin that inspired its writing is yet another level of divinity.
Also on the program are two premieres by American composer Michael Daugherty.
"The Gospel According to Sister Aimee" will have its world premiere, while "Radio City (2011) for Orchestra: Symphonic Fantasy on Arturo Toscanini and the NBC Symphony Orchestra" will be having its first U.S. performance.
"Sister Aimee" was co-commissioned by the Pacific Symphony and San Diego State. Written for organ, brass and percussion, it is a "musical portrait of the rise, fall and redemption of Aimee Semple McPherson (1890 – 1944), the first important religious celebrity of the new mass-media era of the 1930s," according to a symphony press release. The featured organist on the work is Paul Jacobs, who will also be performing a postlude.
"Radio City" was co-commissioned by the Pacific Symphony and the MITO SettembreMusica, an annual music festival in Italy that brings together the cities of Milan and Turin.
In the program notes, Daugherty describes "Radio City" as a "musical fantasy on Arturo Toscanini, who conducted the NBC Symphony Orchestra in radio broadcasts at Rockefeller Center in New York City from 1937 to 1954 ... under his baton the NBC Symphony was heard by millions of listeners, and through his radio broadcasts and recordings, Maestro Toscanini became a household name in America."
Lastly, the symphony will be playing the saddest piece of them all, yet also one of the most beautiful: Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings."
Tickets to the series start at $25. For more information, call (714) 755-5799 or visit http://www.pacificsymphony.org.

The speech delivered by New York Fed President William Dudley on Tuesday may serve as a sneak preview of sorts for the Federal Open Market Committee minutes that are due to be released Wednesday at 2 p.m. Eastern.
Dudley touched on many issues surrounding how the Fed could tighten rates with its balance sheet so large. Specifically, he said the ability to pay interest on excess reserves and so-called reverse repos will help them do so without the Federal Reserve selling off the securities it's accumulated.
Raymond Stone of Stone McCarthy Research said that testing so far of reverse repos has shown favorable results. But Stone points out hawks might find sustaining such a large balance sheet, which now stands at over $4 trillion, "distasteful."
Stone points out a related issue — that the maturity (and not just the size) of the Fed's holdings has grown substantially. "Thus a case can be made that the Fed might want to rebalance its own portfolio at some point in time to truly normalize not just short term interest rates, but also to remove the purposeful manipulation of the term structure of interest rates," he writes.
The Fed minutes — which also will contains details over the debate of when, and by how much, to lift interest rates — will be the focus of a crowded economic calendar. After speaking on Tuesday, Dudley's planned speech on the regional labor market at 10 a.m. will likely take on less importance. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen at 11:30 a.m. will be delivering a commencement address — probably not a venue for major monetary policy addresses.
Two other Fed officials from opposite sides of the spectrum also will speak, with ardent hawk Esther George, the president of the Kansas City Fed, speaking at 12:50 p.m., and converted dove Narayana Kocherlakota, the president of the Minneapolis Fed, speaking at 1:30 p.m.

Mattress as expected for brand. Watch out for delivery men in a rush. They managed to scratch the walls by a single mattress along the stairs - I would have taken it up more carefully by myself. They also didn`t remove shoes or wear their over-protectors but they get you to sign their paperwork without you ticking the boxes to say they whether they did or not or if they caused any damage by covering that section and saying that you just need to rate out of 10 - they just need to take more pride

|I have already written articles showing how to set up the Raspberry PI and how to set up a personal web server on the Raspberry PI.
I was recently asked whether I could expand further and show how to install WordPress onto the web server.
To be able to follow this guide you will need to have set up your Raspberry PI and you will need to have PHP, MySQL, PHPMyAdmin and a web server such as Lighttpd or Apache installed. Follow the guide for setting up the personal web server linked above if you haven't already.
Create the WordPress database
The first part you can do from any other computer on the same network as the Raspberry PI. Make sure the Raspberry PI is turned on and that you can connect to it as a web server. (Follow the guide about setting up a personal web server if you are unsure how to do this).
To create the WordPress database open up a browser Window and navigate to PHPMyAdmin on the Raspberry PI. The address will be something like http://192.168.1.xxx/PHPMyAdmin. (Replace xxx with the last three digits that correspond to where your Raspberry PI is located).
Click on the databases tab at the top and where it says "create new database" add a new database with a name that relates to the purpose of your database. (For example "wordpress" or "piblog").
Set the collation sequence to the one that is most relevant for you. If in doubt choose utf8_general_ci.
Now you need to add a user that can interact with the database. Click on the "privileges" tab and click "add user".
For the username enter something like "piwordpress" and then enter your desired password into the password field and confirm that password in the re-type field.
Click "Create user" to add the user.
Click on "privileges" again and edit the user.
Now select "Check all" and save the changes. This gives your user permission to do anything on the database. (Not ideal for real world use by the way. For real world use you would restrict the access to the bare minimum required).
Connect to your Raspberry PI
First of all start up the Raspberry PI.
you are connected directly to the Raspberry PI and you have booted
straight to the Raspbian desktop open up a terminal by clicking on the
LXTerminal icon.
If you are connected directly to the Raspberry PI but it boots direct to the terminal you can move on to the next section.
you are connecting via ssh then open up the application you use to ssh
and connect using your username and the local IP address to the PI. My
guide showing how to connect to the Raspberry PI from the Google Nexus will help with this and will also show how to VNC onto the Raspberry PI.
Download WordPress
From within the terminal on the Raspberry PI run the following command to download WordPress.
wget https://wordpress.org/latest.zip
Create the wordpress folders
Move the zip file to the /var/www folder by typing the following:
sudo mv latest.zip /var/www/latest.zip
Navigate to the /var/www folder:
cd /var/www
Now unzip the latest.zip file:
sudo unzip latest.zip
This will create a folder called wordpress under /var/www and will contain all the sub folders and files for running WordPress.
You can now remove the latest.zip file:
sudo rm latest.zip
To gain the appropriate permissions to the wordpress folder you need to change the permissions of the folder as follows:
Navigate to the wordpress folder by typing the following:
cd wordpress
You now need to create a configuration file. The easiest way to do this is to take a copy of the sample WordPress config file.
Open the file wp-config in the nano editor:
sudo nano wp-config.php
You need to change various parts of the config file as follows:
- DB_Name – change to the name of the database you created
- DB_User – change to the name of the user you created
- DB_Password – change to the password you created for the user
You also need to add the various keys into the file where it says "put your unique key here".
Visit https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/
A list of keys will be generated for you and you can copy and paste the keys into the file replacing the keys that are already there.
Press CTRL and O and then CTRL and X to save and exit the file.
Install WordPress
You can follow the rest of this from your own computer without being connected to the PI. (Although obviously it has to be turned on).
Open a browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.xxx/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php. (replacing xxx with the appropriate value).
Enter a title for your site and then add a username and password for your site. (This can and should be different to your database username and password).
Finally enter and email address and click "Install WordPress".
After the installation is complete you will see the screen above. Enter your username and password to access the WordPress control panel.
That is pretty much it. You can add templates and plug ins and do everything you normally would within WordPress.
If you want to see how your site looks simply open a new browser window and navigate to http://192.168.1.xxx/wordpress
This guide has been written as a proof of concept and because I was asked if I could write a guide for this.
I wouldn't recommend using this guide to set up your Raspberry PI as a production WordPress server. Whilst the basics are correct, the setup of the database and the database user is lacking on the security front.
If you are a developer who creates WordPress plugins and templates, you can now use your Raspberry PI to test out your creations.
I hope you find this guide useful and if you have any questions or the guide doesn't quite work for you let me know in the comments below and I will edit this article accordingly.
Thankyou for reading.

Hard to know how to pick from among the deserving contestants for the coveted Power Line Green Weenie Award this week. The deep greenies at Grist.com deserve an honorable mention for their speculation about whether the Syrian uprising can be linked to—wait for it—climate change! (Sigh.) A deserving nod also goes to the German greens who are opposing a huge offshore wind power installation—proposed to be eight times the size of New York City—because it might harm dolphins. (And you thought only American Navy sonar did that.) As I like to say, the only form of energy without any environmental tradeoffs was that bicycle the Perfesser built for Gilligan on the Island. (And even that required a lot of bananas. Ultimately large energy comes from hydrocarbons or carbohydrates; take you pick.)
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also enters the lists for their interest in inventing a waterless toilet for the developing world, a decent idea in the abstract, though one wonders why this needs to be a philanthropic undertaking rather than an entrepreneurial venture. What exactly is the market failure here? What really makes this story fun, though, is the little detail that the Gates Foundation is buying 50 pounds of fake poop made from soybeans to test in various prototype toilets. I'm sure the legions of disgruntled Windows users could offer lots of suggestions for better fake poop substitutes.
But it's hard to top our winner from two weeks ago, Thomas Friedman, and Amory Lovins, who attempted a duo act more dated than Hall & Oates in Aspen last week (why is it always Aspen??), with Friedman lamenting that, on the subject of climate change, "Democratic political consultants are advising their candidates not to mention the "losing topic'." Hard to believe, but it appears that Democratic political consultants are actually smarter than New York Times columnists, but then it is a very low bar.
But Friedman can't win again so soon. Fortunately, he had Lovins, who, for his part in the worn out harmony used the old trick of citing percentage growth figures to suggest that Portugal (current unemployment rate: 15 percent) is ahead of the United States on energy, because Portugal "climbed from 17 percent renewable energy in 2005 to 45 percent in 2010, while the U.S. rose from 9 percent to only 10 percent during that same timeframe." It is amazing to me that educated adults still fall for the old percentage trick, which in the case of renewable energy growth is like the person who drowned in the middle of a Minnesota lake that only averaged two feet deep.
How much do you suppose Lovins would be willing to wager that in fact the U.S. added a multiple of total "renewable" energy than Portugal in that same time frame? Sure enough, a check of the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2011—the latest I have on my laptop—shows that the U.S. added 81.8 terawatts of renewable electricity from 2005 to 2010, while Portugal added just 8.4 terawatts. And where does Lovins get his figure of 45 percent of total energy? According to the BP survey, the correct figure for Portugal is 1.7 percent. Perhaps this was misreported in the news story, or he means that 45 percent of total energy growth in Portugal came from renewables, but is this really an achievement without knowing how much total energy demand grew? (Probably not much with Portugal's economy these days. Seems like they've been burning Euros to generate power.)
More interesting might be to ponder what Portugal's unemployment rate might be if they had something like our fracking natural gas boom. But to paraphrase Glenn Reynolds, employment is for little people. And Aspenites have a world to save!
Lovins is another of those perennial posers who deserves a Green Weenie Lifetime Achievement Award (a decade ago he was pushing the line that hydrogen was our energy future within a decade; today, about hydrogen he says "never mind"), but he'll have to settle for the same weekly installment that graces Friedman's shelf.

The Acting Loft's Next to Normal
When: through Sunday, Feb. 26: Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m.
Where: Jefferson Mill, 670 N. Commercial St., Manchester
Cost: $18
More info: Call 666-5999, or visit actingloft.org.
The Acting Loft is known for challenging its audiences, and its latest production is no exception.
Next to Normal, which opened Friday, Feb. 17, is the story of Diana Goodman, a wife and mother who struggles with bipolar disorder, and the effect her illness has on her family. With song lyrics and spoken word by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, the rock musical delves into issues not often talked about onstage or in real life. It is one of only eight musicals ever to receive the Pulitzer Prize, and it won three Tony Awards in 2009.
"It's one of the most brilliant pieces of theater ever written," said artistic director Christopher Courage. "It gives us as performers what is essentially a non-musical set to music; there is virtually no spoken dialogue. It's incredibly emotional [and] brings up all these issues that people are ashamed to talk about."
The nature of the production called for a different kind of approach, Courage said. The small cast and crew found themselves constantly discussing their characters and the pain they were feeling, and reflecting on mental illness' ability to "wreck an entire family," Courage said.
"In the 23 years I've been [at the Acting Loft], we've never tackled a show this dense and that has this much to say to people," Courage said. "Our whole program is about education and inviting the audience to experience something that they may not experience again.
"As I approached the production, I didn't feel at first that the material resonated with me, but I realized [that] every person you know knows someone or has some kind of connection with mental disease," he said. "This show changed my attitude [about mental illness] and made me and the cast members more sympathetic."
Actor Nathan Barnes, who is open about his own past struggles with depression, agrees. He said his hope for the show is to shed some light on the fact that there are people suffering from mental disorders, many of whom he said "go undiagnosed or incorrectly diagnosed for years" and thus suffer unnecessarily. Barnes plays two different doctors in the show.
"It's so much more of a difficult journey [when you are] walking around with voices in your head all day long," Barnes said. "It's very distracting and disconcerting. This character and this family — all they want is to be normal or as normal as they can possibly be. I think that's all any of us want."
Barnes, who describes the production as a wonderful character study, shared what is a particularly poignant moment in the show for him: "The doctor asks Diana, 'How are you feeling?' And she says, 'I feel absolutely nothing.' And the doctor says, 'Hmm, patient stable.' She wants to feel something. With all of the emotions and delusions [she faces], at same time she feels flat and blank and empty."
Jennifer Sue Mallard, who plays Diana's teenage daughter, describes her character, Natalie, as feeling invisible, frustrated and rebellious at times throughout the show. "She tends to get put on the back burner," Mallard said.
Mallard said it was difficult to tap into the raw emotions and frustrations of a 16-year-old: "At 16, Natalie doesn't quite understand what is going on, and her instinct is to get angry."
Joel Iwaskiewicz's character, Diana's son, Gabe, depicts yet another complicated relationship and side of the production. Iwaskiewicz saw Next to Normal on its national tour twice last year and said he couldn't remember the last time he was so affected by a piece of theater. He said he couldn't believe his good luck when he discovered the show was going to be performed in New Hampshire.
Though Iwaskiewicz was willing to play any part in the show, he said it's been a thrill playing Gabe. "A lot of the characters are dealing with the heaviness of their circumstances," he said. "Gabe's vitality challenges the emotional tone of the show. I was drawn to the energy of his character."

If you send a lot of small messages, you should use MPI_Isend there as well to give the MPI implementation every opportunity to do the right thing. As we go forward, end-to-end acknowledgments are going to become a reality. The last thing you want is to spend a round-trip delay on every message you send if you send a lot of them. Yes, the implementation can copy on the sending side to allow the send to complete, but that wastes memory and time. Keith
