Music Years Of My Life: 1990
Today it's known as Americana, but back in the 70's/80's the phrase was Progressive Country. It's most famous radio station was located in Gilroy, CA, and was called KFAT on your FM dial. From 1975-1983, KFAT played anything that was left-of-center Country, Bluegrass, Blues and whatever other mainstream channels weren't playing.
After it went off the air in 1983, most of the staff relocated to Freedom, CA (near Watsonville or near Monterey) and began KPIG-FM which signed on in 1988.
As someone who lives on the Monterey Peninsula I was aware of KFAT, but at that time my car presets were on Top 40, Old School Soul and mainstream Country. Progressive Country was a genre that I knew of from music mags, but wasn't something I would buy.
At some point in 1990, a colleague of mine asked me what radio stations I listened to. This was pre-Internet and pre-Sirius. He mentioned that KPIG was an ear-opener. So, on his suggestion I started listening to it. He was right. Most of the artists they played I was familiar with: Joe Ely, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams. Bigger names like the Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers were already in my collection. But there were acts played that even I never heard of. Suddenly, I'm hearing modern Hawaiian, Folk, Blues names that were a revelation. The great thing about KPIG is that it wasn't and still isn't always about Americana. They'll throw in some older R&B names like Wilson Pickett, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding. Elvis Presley? Beatles? Yep.
The Americana tag didn't begin until 1995. Good old Wikipedia tells me that was the first year an airplay chart was published with the Americana word on it. (Besides KPIG, Texas' KFAN was the other Americana staple at the outset. Today, the weekly chart is a must-look for me.
The good thing about going deep with another genre is that you discover artists and songs that make you wonder how you missed them. But they were right there, on my book shelf at least. One of the great music books, John Morthland's 1984 Best of Country Music included records from the early days of Prog-Country. Morthland's book can still be found used, and even though he refused to pring any updates, is a must for any music lover. He passed away in 2016. But thanks to his book, I had easy access to some of the acts played on KPIG.
Now, some 22 years later the Americana genre is as strong as ever with a yearly Award show, more radio stations (Sirius' Outlaw Country is basically their Americana channel). KFAT is still alive, but only as a streaming online station. KPIG continues to roll along. Years ago, the company that owns KPIG was thinking of changing its format. An outcry occurred and the public won. And my dial preset remained as it has for a couple of decades.

The United Republic of Tanzania lies between the latitudes 1º -11º S and longitudes 29 º - 41º N in east coast of Africa hosting the great lakes of the Rift valley system, the Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Nyasa. To the east, it is flanked by the widely extending Indian Ocean. It has borders with Kenya & Uganda to the north, Rwanda, Burundi and DRC to the west and to the south by Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique. The country covers an area of about 947,300 sq. km with a number of coastal and inland basins covering 534,000 sq. km and the rest are Cratonic rocks (see activity map). These sedimentary basins are categorized into four tectonic morphological groups such as; coastal basins, Karoo rift basins, modern rift basins and the Cratonic sag basins, each of the basin has been affected by rifting at one time or another, except for the Cratonic sag basins (Mbede, 1990).
They were formed due to rifting during the Pennsylvanian to Triassic episode, followed by the breakup of Gondwana in the Late Jurassic through the Early Cretaceous period (Bumby & Guiraud 2005). The significant petroleum systems have been identified in these basins which occupy mostly along the east coast of Tanzania. Oil seeps have been found at several localities, e.g., the Tundaua oil seeps in the Pemba Basin (offshore) and the Wingayongo bituminous sandstone in the Rufiji Basin. Gas discoveries have been made at Songosongo, Mnazi Bay, Kiliwani, Mkuranga and Ruvu Basins (Onshore) and recently huge gas discoveries have been made at Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 (offshore). All these are the evidences for the existence of Petroleum System in Tanzania.
Petroleum Exploration
The country has been intermittently explored over the last 60 years. Most of the multinational petroleum companies were represented in the area at one time or another. The country has continued to undertake geological and geophysical works to update the existing database to attract more investment in the sector. Further exploration, including appraisal drilling is envisaged for the year 2016/2017.
Seismic Acquisition
To date more than 100,000 line kilometers of 2D seismic have been acquired with 70,000 km offshore and 30,000 km onshore including the interior rift basins. Further there is a substantial coverage of offshore 3D seismic amounting to 16,388 sq. km.
TPDC Blocks
The Government has reserved Blocks 4/1B & 4/1C for public interest and gave TPDC exclusive right to undertake exploration over the blocks. TPDC will source a strategic partner competitively to undertake jointly
Exploration over the Blocks. Currently, TPDC has secured seismic data contractor to acquire 4058 km of 2D in-fill seismic data over Blocks 4/1B and 4/1C in order to understand the hydrocarbon potentials and locate the drillable prospect(s).
Full Tensor Gradiometry and Airborne Gravity Gradiometry Survey
In 2015, TPDC acquired a total of 24,014 line km of FTG over Lake Tanganyika North Block and a total of 20,541 of AGG line km over Eyasi-Wembere, Mandawa and West Songosongo Basins. The objective of this survey is to add value to the blocks prior to licensing round.
Open Blocks
Tanzania has some open acreages both onshore and offshore; these include Selous, Mandawa, Kisangire, MnaziBay North, Malagarasi and Tanga South. For offshore; open blocks are Blocks 5, 6, 7, and 8. The Government is still evaluating the blocks using the available geophysical and geological data. Once the evaluation will be completed, the government will announce for a bid round and will extend invitation to prospective bidders.
Hydrocarbons Discoveries
To date Tanzania has drilled a total of ninety-two (92) wells both offshore and onshore with Total Gas Initial in Place discovered of 57.25 TCF. The total amount of gas discovered in the offshore blocks (1, 2, 3, & 4) is 47.13 TCF while onshore (Songosongo, Mnazi Bay, Mkuranga, Kiliwani, Ntorya and Mambakofi) totalling 10.28 TCF were discovered. Currently the gas is locally used for power generation, industrial use, households and motor vehicles. The government plan is to export part of this gas to the neighboring countries.
Gas Production
The current infrastructure for gas production is 470 mmscfd of gas processing plants. From Songosongo it is 140 mmscfd for new plant and 110mmscfd for Songas plant. From Mnazibay is 10 mmscfd and 210 mmscfd for Madimba processing facilities. Wells deliverability of Songosongo and Kiliwani gas field is 200 mmscfd and Mnazi bay gas fields is about 80mmscfd. The current demand and production for gas is 170 -180 mmscfd.
Gas Infrastructure Development
The Government has embarked on the construction of the natural gas processing plants and a 36 inch 487 km gas pipeline from Mtwara to Dar es Salaam in order to enhance gas utilization in the country.
The project was commissioned in September, 2015. The new infrastructure will increase capacity of gas deliverability to customers by 784 mmscfd. It is expected that the project will immediately address natural gas needs for the existing and future projects in the country.
The LNG project is aiming into liquefying and export gas for generating revenue. The project will also serve to deliver domestic obligation of the natural gas from the offshore fields to meet domestic market demand. Five international oil companies which commit to invest in the project are working with TPDC and the Government of Tanzania to ensure that this project becomes successful. The project is expected to speed up the gas economy in Tanzania. The FID is expected by 2020 and first export ship by 2025 if all planned activities will be done in accordance with timeline. The companies jointly committed for this project are BG/Shell, Ophir, Pavilion, Statoil and ExxonMobil in corroboration with TPDC.

God almighty! It's the most unlikely gospel album of the year. You'd think the stained-glass windows would leap from their frames at the very idea of this bunch of jazzy funk rockers invading a church. Led by improvisational jazz/rock deconstructionist John Scofield on guitar, the Piety Street Band boasts a who's who of A-list players from a cross-cultural array of genres. Meter man George Porter Jr. (Meters, Funky Meters, Porter/Batiste/Stoltz) is on bass, Absolute Monster Gentleman and Bonnie Raitt sideman Jon Cleary handles vocals and keys and former Beach Boy and current Raitt drummer Ricky Fataar does percussion duties.
Piety Street is the name of the record as well as the New Orleans studio it was recorded in. "I'd describe the décor as a cross between an elegant Cajun fishing camp mixed with a turn of the century Storyville bordello or maybe your favorite grandmother's living room," Piety Street Studio owner Mark Bingham says of the funky studio located in New Orleans Katrina-decimated 9th ward, by the Mississippi river.
That funky flavor comes across in the recording. Scofield initially said he wanted to do a blues record in what he called the "cradle of soul," New Orleans. But bassist Porter says that when he first heard of the project, it was definitely a gospel record. That was fine with Porter, who is well aware of where his funky roots are anchored.
"I would assume that it all began somewhere in the church," Porter said by phone last week from his home in New Orleans. "There's a fine line pinpointing which parts of what came from where, but I've always been one of those people that like to say the hell with labels."
You'd have a hard time putting a label on this one. The outcome defies containment in one musical genre. While the original arrangements were traditional gospel tunes, by the time Scofield and the Piety Street Band got through with them, the end result was a mix of soul, blues and funk, backed by a bouncy N'awlins second line.
It's a glorious, rockin' record. Cleary, an Englishman with the soul of Ray Charles, is the voice of praise on most cuts. He transforms Dorothy Love Coates' hymn "That's Enough" into a funky soul anthem. Thanks to Porter's rollin', N'awlins-flavored funk bass, the gospel standard "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" sounds like it came from the Meters' back catalogue, almost too funky for church.
As usual, Scofield is all over the place, draping jazzy, blues-drenched riffs over the shoulders of the traditional gospel tunes. On the Rev. James Cleveland's "Something's Got A Hold On Me," Scofield stomps heavily on his wah-wah pedal to add a funky, bluesy feel.
It's obviously Scofield's show, but he's generous with his sideman. "He didn't nail us to the wall and say, 'Don't play this or that.' He kinda let us pick our own places and bring our own input to the parts we were playing," Porter says. "He was trying to be very honest to the actual songs, at the same time allowing them to breathe."
"The Old Ship Of Zion" is helmed by Scofield's guitar, but it still comes across as an ensemble piece. This is a great, tight band. The guitarist dips and soars with a B. B. King feel underwritten by Cleary's gospel organ with Porter carefully laying the foundation and Fataar slapping the mortar in place.
Scofield has rearranged some of the tunes almost beyond recognition. "Just a Little While to Stay Here" is a totally different song, as is Scofield's jazzy take on "I'll Fly Away," with Porter playing country style bass as Scofield dribbles Allman Brothers riffs on top. But on all the cuts, the spirit and fire of the originals still shine through.
"When John plays, automatically it's gonna be different 'cause he has a totally different approach to playing rhythm parts than the original parts of the original music," Porter says. "The original music was more strumming parts, more guitar parts, and John was playing a more syncopated part on most of the songs."
But when vocalist John Boutte steps up to the mike, you forget everybody else. It's a real "who the hell is that" moment. Voted Best Male Vocalist repeatedly by New Orleans' Offbeat Magazine, the 7th generation Creole singer's slightly hoarse, creamy soul voice is a blend of Harry Belafonte and Sam Cook. Although Boutte only sings on three cuts, his voice is the call to worship here.
Dorothy Love Coates' "Ninety Nine and a Half" is the basis for the Wilson Pickett soul classic of the same name. Scofield turns it into lowdown blues when he solos, but Cleary takes it back into soul territory with his vocal.
The record just came out in the States on March 31, but the Piety Street band tried it out in Europe last year. "I had mixed emotions when we first got over there," Porter says. "The first couple of gigs were in nice theaters, then all of sudden we were playing in little barrooms, people drinking and partying and we were playing gospel music. So I just got the feeling, man, John Scofield can do any damn thing he wants."
So can Porter, a founding Meters member universally recognized as one of the baddest bass players on the planet. With drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, guitarist Leo Nocentelli and organist Art Neville, the Meters set a standard for funk that has never been equaled. He continued that tradition with Neville drummer Russell Batiste guitarist Brian Stoltz in the funky Meters, then without Neville as Porter/Batiste/Stoltz.
Unlike many bands that often perform under the original band's name even if it contains only one original member, Porter is specific about the billing for his various groups. "I ain't gonna be shamming nobody, especially the people that care and supported us all this time," the bassist says.
"I shoot straight. I don't give you any bullshit. I try to be as up-front with people as I can and that means even in my personal life as well in my musical world. When I do something, I'm gonna put forth 100 percent," Porter adds. "I'm not gonna take the money and run. I'm coming on your gig and I'm gonna play my butt off."
John Scofield and the Piety Street Band featuring Jon Cleary, George Porter Jr. and Ricky Fataar play the Neighborhood Theatre on April 19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $22 in advance and $25 on the day of show.

Another story the Jewish-controlled US media has failed to report to the US population. Last weekend (see video below), the French staged a HUGE protest against homo marriage. Tens of thousands of old and YOUNG French Whites flooded Paris streets to say NO to a bill legalizing homo marriage. Even the cosmopolitan French think marriage should only be between a man and woman. Good for them!
This reminds me of a personal story: When South Carolina flew the Stars and Bars (the flag of the confederacy) on the capital flag pole under the state flag, they got a lot of negative press from the White-hating media (all the slavery crap again). When legislators met to vote on whether or not to take it down, Rebel-lovers arrived from all over to march in support.
The manipulative US press only showed video of a handful of supporters or just used shots of the ugliest ones they could focus the cameras in on (no wide angles to show crowd dimensions). All trying to make it look like it was poorly attended and by only a few scattered "hillbillies and rednecks." But a woman friend of mine (a hot blond rebel babe) attended and took a lot of great pictures, showing thousands of beautiful Whites marching down the street in support.
Not only does the lying media manipulate us with simple video editing like this, they got the nerve to outright LIE to us. Read on.
Paris – Demonstration against gay marriage (FRANCE 24-03-2013)
Note how it's all White people and most of them are young. They, too, have had it with the anti-White Jew destruction of our lands!
Jew-owned ABC World News Tonight, is now constantly telling viewers that the young support FAGGOT marriage in overwhelming numbers. Total BS. The media lies, expecting you to believe whatever they say. Homo activists have LOST every single state vote and referendum for marriage — that's why the GD backstabbers are now trying to get the Jew subverted courts to overrule the will of the people.
Don't you believe the media's BS! There's plenty of good young people pissed off about all these JEWY NWO things being done to our White countries.
Notice how FOX news ignored the French anti-Faggot demonstrations. I thought they were supposed to be so conservative? What a laugh. Like the other channels, these Globalist Jew tools are working to keep the Christian Zionists dumb about the real deal. Just as long as we keep dying for Israel, they'll keep mum on how our countries are being used and abused by stinking Jewry.
Apes in ChiCONGO went ape this past weekend.
Look at 'em, Folks! This is your typical behavior from the out-of-control, totally spoiled brat race. Whenever they congregate in any numbers, this kind of thing breaks out. The Afro-Apes were not out protesting anything (this time), just attacking random Whites on the street for sheer giggles. This is how this race really acts — and they don't care one bit if you're a liberal!
Notice also how the national news said absolutely nothing about Chicago blacks going ape this past Easter weekend. Seems the warm weather went straight to their pointy little heads. They swarmed into the "Miracle Mile" area to rob and assault Whites going to restaurants and shopping. At first, police were even ordered not arrest them. While national media blatantly ignored the story, local Jew stooge media merely called it a random "wilding" by "youths." Anybody with brain-one knows it was blacks going haywire.
The phony conservative FOX ignored this story, too. Try to imagine White people forming criminal mobs like this anywhere? If they did, you can be sure the traitorous media would be covering it everywhere, while screaming about the mobs being racists.
Instead, national media ran reports all over the place about that Texas DA and his wife getting murdered and the possibility it was connected to the Colorado prison director killing. They think it's a "White supremacist" prison gang responsible, so they are now chomping at the bit to do more evil Whitey reports.
I bet that faggoty Jew, Mark Potak at the SPLC, is positively gleeful about getting more TV time to spout his Jewy crap. Funny, how none of these filthy hypocrites ever say JACK when some murderous blacks massacre a bunch of White people, huh?
Trust me: If any blacks get arrested for the Texas killing of that DA, I can guaran-effin-tee you the media will drop the story like a hot potato; just like they did last year, around this time, when they thought that the Mississippi highway killer must be a White guy dressed as a cop. But once a worthless black criminal was busted for the murders, the entire thing disappeared from the national air waves faster than you could say "Aunt Jemima."
Also, the media ran incredibly stupid crap this weekend, like "commander-in-chief" (they made sure to say that) Obongo comforting a poor little BLACK child, who didn't find any Easter eggs on the White house lawn. Boo hoo. Then the story of the BLACK basketball player who broke his leg on the court and "bravely" told his fellows to go on and win the game.
Rounding things off, was the queen of mudsharks, Heidi Klum (left), saving her spoiled mulatto son in the surf in Hawaii. Don't any of these fools know blacks sink like the millstones they are around our neck?
You would never hear about something like this unless it was part and parcel of the Jew efforts to breed our race away. This never-ending, stupid black worship makes me violently PUKE.
Just look at all the stuff the media goes on and on about and what it stays silent over. The Jewish BS is so embarrassingly obvious, it stinks to high heaven.
Connect the dots, White people. It's all part of the long-running Jew Agenda to use our countries for Israel and the NWO, while at the same time slowly turn the White race into a bickering minority, no doubt about it.
I don't know about you, but I'm damn well ready to start the second American revolution!

From Patagonia's infant blog The Cleanest Line comes a parable of leading a group of 15-year-olds into the Grand Tetons. The kids do not know silence, do not respect the grandeur. At least, when they enter the woods.
I stay outside of their circle, the old guy who doles out advice, corrections, and bad jokes. Then, one day, leading the pack on our ascent of a remote peak in the Tetons, Jack guides us into a small sea of ripe wild fruit. Leaves like large, green, luminous plates shroud dense, luscious clusters of fat, wild huckleberries. Waist deep and wading through this abundance, Jack turns a glance over his shoulder, and with a quick, empurpled smile states simply, "God loves us." I'm not religious, but I feel a current moving in his words: he knows already the blessings of wild places.
If we are worried about losing the next generation (and, hell, my generation) to the Internet and text messaging and MySpace, perhaps we needn't be. Because those things can embellish lives, but they can't give them meaning. And whether or not they think they need it, anyone can discover just how wondrous it is.
I've been guilty of pessimism, of giving up and thinking that maybe the best we can do is hold out hope that somehow people will find the Earth to be enough again someday, but this little tale reminds me that making the effort to drag some kids out there, to introduce them to the beauty of the real world, might be worth it.
"What did you hear?"
Creek. Trout leap. Rustle of leaves. Elk bugle. Screech of hawk.
The circle comes around. It's Jack's turn.
In the midst of these yet-unfolding sounds, Jack closes his eyes again to find his own.
"Simple," Jack says. "I hear simple."
He opens his eyes again and smiles, the stain of wild huckleberries on his teeth.

Yesterday, for no particular reason, I felt like somebody pulled out the pin I was held together by. I could not apply myself to even the simplest task, so when my friend called with an idea of going to the art gallery to see amazing lady sasquatches I ran with it. Sebastian definitely needed to get out too. The sasquatches were fantastic. There were six or seven of them, and there were big and furry, and sexy and scary, well lit and politically charged carrying a feminist message with wild ancient fury. We were not allowed to take pictures of them, but we could take the picture of the vase made out of wire coat hangers in the stiarwell, and that was also very impressive.
We also took pictures of the sculpture outside - note how Sebastian's expression looks a lot like the bronze face. When we where coming out of the gallery Sebastian ran into glass door at his full running speed. He bounced off it and fell on the floor like a stunt man in the movies. He only whimpered once. We all watched as the big bump grew on his forehead. The pictures were taken just a few minutes after the accident.

Save Our SpringsFebruary 16th, 2010 by flanews
Environmentalists and nature lovers want more protection for the state�s more than 200 natural springs. A group of relay runners sprinted 16 miles from Wakulla Springs to the state capitol today to support higher standards. Legislation to enact tougher regulations on septic tanks, reduce runoff and decrease the amount of fertilizer used on farms is in the works in Tallahassee. State Representative Alan Williams says if lawmakers don�t raise the standards now future generations won�t be able to enjoy the springs.
�We must protect our fresh water springs. We must protect our natural resources across the sunshine state in order for our children, and our children�s children, and our children�s children�s children to enjoy the beauty that is Florida,� said Williams.
The springs legislation comes as public hearings on new federal standards are being held. Many business owners and farmers are against the federal standards, they say it will cost the average household an extra 60 dollars a month on their water bill.

Collyer's men's rugby team came back from 13-0 down to win the final of the AOC Sport National Rugby Union Cup.
Having beaten the Premiership side Exeter Chiefs' Academy team in the semi's, the team arrived for the Birmingham final against Peterborough Regional College in confident mood and after a slow start went in 17-13 ahead at the break, after tries from Joe Endacott, Joshua Sudder and Ian Paku.
The second half started poorly and after some excellent forward play, Peterborough went 27-10 ahead.
As the game progressed, Collyer's began to cope better with Peterborough's tough, rampaging forwards, and a line break from the Collyer's backs led to Joe Endacott crossing the line, and with metronomic kicker Joe Blake's conversion, Collyer's were back in the running at 24-27.
Set-piece plays and moves allowed the Collyer's backs to start running the game, with Max Paterson coming away with a well-worked team try.
With the score at 31-27 in Collyer's favour with 20 minutes to go, Peterborough then launched their own amazing fight-back using their quick-footed backline, taking them back into the lead 31-34, with 11 minutes remaining.
Collyer's gradually controlled territory and a crash ball move enabled Owain McLoughlin to get over the line to take Collyer's ahead for the final time 38-34.
McLoughlin said: "This was a tough test as Peterborough are a great side. It could have gone either way. It's an honour to be part of this incredible Collyer's team."
Head of faculty for business, sport and science, James Gordon, said: "It was a thriller. Two contrasting styles of rugby battled it out, right until the final whistle.
"The quality and physical endeavour on show was outstanding from both of these brilliant sides, who were a credit to their respective colleges. Peterborough Regional College are a powerful team so it is a tremendous achievement to win the cup."
Collyer's head of sports academy John Burroughs said: "Outstanding! We could not be prouder of this incredible team. Well done to them and massive thanks to director of rugby Glen Jones and all of the coaches, including Ross Chisolm, and Tim Margrett and James Gordon who worked tactical wonders on the big day. The Collyer's rugby academy is outstanding and we hope to attract more top players from across the region in the future."
Collyer's deputy principal Steve Martell was delighted: "These players are a credit to our region's rugby. Director of Rugby Glen Jones is building a set-up that is being lauded nationally. The man is a rugby magician."
Collyer's principal Sally Bromley said: "Congratulations to the rugby players, coaching group and all within our sport academies. We are building something very special here at Collyer's."
Collyer's: Eddie Grogan,Alex Macfarlane, James Bunch, Sam Jewell, Joe Endacott, Ian Paku, Jack Thompson, Owain McLoughlin, Gabriel Moore, Joe Blake, Mike Ching, Oliver Hemsley, Joshua Sudder, Max Paterson, Conor Riley, Pat Snelling, Chris Otley, Sam Coles, Harry Bradshaw, Henry Grayson, Adam Williams, Max Sherwood. Injured: Hayden Brock, Will Evans, Aaron Lindfield, Jem Minto.

Published January 29, 2015
In his 2014 State of the State Address, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a $105 million initiative combining the strengths of UB and the New York Genome Center (NYGC) with a goal of developing upstate New York as a national center for genomic medicine research and jobs. This effort involves companies focused on diagnostics and information technology to help grow the region's and state's economies and develop breakthroughs in personalized medicine.
The founding principals of the Buffalo Institute for Genomics and Data Analytics (BIG) last week offered an update on BIG's inaugural year, including insight on successful collaborations with industry and how businesses can further engage, and on the institute's blueprint for breathing new life into Buffalo by transforming medical diagnosis and treatment.
The lecture on Jan. 22 by Thomas Furlani, BIG interim executive director and director of UB's Center for Computational Research (CCR); Norma Nowak, executive director of UB's New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences (CBLS); and Peter Winkelstein, executive director of the Institute for Healthcare Informatics (IHI), launched CBLS' Commercialization Lecture Series for 2015. More than 100 people attended the BIG lecture, held in the CBLS, 701 Ellicott St. on the Downtown Campus.
The CBLS — one of the five original, statewide centers of excellence — is home to BIG, which oversees the engagement of CCR, CBLS, IHI and other key assets with the NYGC. BIG will provide operational support, facilities and services to aid in research and development, innovation, product development, entrepreneurial support and business development in fields requiring the use of high performance computing, informatics and biomedical research in genomic medicine.
"BIG is one aspect of this collaborative 'village' we are building in Buffalo," Nowak said. "Collaboration with other industries is important for BIG to become integrated within the community and further critical, life-saving research."
The collaboration is expected to yield nearly 500 jobs within five years. The partnership is already fostering symbiotic relationships among industry partners, UB faculty, other universities and nonprofit organizations such the NYGC to develop marketable, diagnostic, genomic assays for statin induced myopathy, multiple sclerosis and autism spectrum disorder that will guide the treatment strategies for these disorders.
"This initiative is an important step forward for health care research and economic development in our region," said Winkelstein. "It is exciting to see the effect this partnership will have locally and statewide."
Of the state's $105 million investment, BIG will receive $32.5 million in capital dollars and $15 million in working capital and operating funds — which requires a dollar-for-dollar match from the university. The $47.5 million for BIG is coming from the Buffalo Billion; funding for NYGC is coming from another source.
"We are grateful for Gov. Cuomo's commitment to BIG and his recognition of UB as a driving force in life sciences research, supercomputing and medical information analysis," Furlani said. "BIG is setting the stage for unprecedented new approaches to personalized medicine, diagnostics and technologies, and making Gov. Cuomo's vision a reality."

Driving program sales with intelligent email
Get the case study
The background
ITV Studios distributes and sells over 4,600 TV programs to 14,000 customers globally, and it relies heavily on email to raise interest among these buyers.
Using email to nurture leads and close sales
With a high-value offering and a limited number of possible leads, ITV Studios needed to develop an in-depth nurturing strategy, as Greg Emson, the company's Head of Digital Marketing explains: "We need to ensure that we are targeting the right clients from the outset and that we have a really firm handle on their likely degree of interest."
By combining website and dotmailer's WebInsights, Greg's team can deliver exceptionally detailed intelligence to the account managers about the pages and clips their network clients are viewing. This insight includes how long they've watched a program for and which places the team in a very strong position when they come to discussing program sales with clients.
dotmailer for Salesforce made the cut
Collecting behavioral data on over 14,000 customers, across 4,500 programs, means ITV Studios need detailed, streamlined analytics to turn it into actionable information.
"As part of our streamlining process we are implementing dotmailer's Salesforce connector," explains Greg. "This will allow us to build deeply detailed profiles and parameters on all our contacts so that we can create emails that will still be very individual, but will also be capable of being automated and still avoid the risk of the wrong people getting the emails."
The fully-integrated dotmailer for Salesforce solution will enable ITV Studios to manage all of its digital marketing activity, without ever leaving the Salesforce environment.
From BBC to ITV
Greg was responsible for introducing dotmailer to ITV Studios after his previous experience of using the service at the BBC.
"When I came to ITV eighteen months ago, moving to dotmailer was one of my first decisions, and it's been extremely well received," explains Greg. "The key to the success of our emarketing is that it delivers at both ends – firstly the usability and creativity that we can achieve, and secondly the results and analytics we can then use to drive decision making."

Dennis Severs House, Spitalfields, London 2013
Commissioned by The Museum of British Folklore for Dennis Severs House. The work consisted of 10 mechanical raree boxes (peep shows), one for each room in the house. By turning handles and pulling levers viewers were able to animate the contents of the boxes each of which explored a particular London ritual or folktale.
The complete absence of electric light in the house helps create the building's unique atmosphere. During daylight hours the windows allow varying degrees of illumination depending on the weather outside but at night the house is lit entirely with candles. This minimal lighting coupled with the tiny scale and enclosed nature of the boxes made photography and filming very difficult but I hope the following images give some indication of how the show worked.

For my quote I've chosen Aclonica font from Google font library. It's quite bold and I love some letters like h, m and n.
As I haven't a light box, I've used old and simple technique to transfer a-z to watercolor paper: window and daylight :)
For colors I've chosen violet, blue and azure. They seem to make pretty cool combinations when mixing. So, here's the watercolor result.
It was a huge fun to make wet on wet! From one hand you have a control of shape, from the other there's a space for improvization with colors. Great! :)
Since I don't have a proper scanner (the one I have transfer colors badly), I prefer to take photos of my watercolors, then adjust color balance in Lightroom and transfer jpg to GIMP (I still don't get along with Photoshop but I'm going to fix it ASAP:)).
Then I've moved to Illustrator and traced it in high fidelity photo.
And the final quote looks like this.
It's my desire, actually. Because there's so much fuss about politics and confrontation between my homeland and our neighbour recently. And I desperately wish there to be peace, love and more Art and Creation in the world. So I've decided to draw it and while I was drawing I thought why not to print it on t-shirt? I'd love to have one :)
I'm so happy to have an opportunity to make this project. I'm not new to watercolor but have never used it in such way.
Thank you, Amarilys! Really great job :)

10 Hottest Girls In Surfing: 2011 Edition
As the bikinis get smaller and the turns get bigger, we love where women's surfing is headed. Matter of fact, we love it so much we've gone to great lengths (and countless arguments in the office and over email) to document the 10 Hottest Girls In Surfing. But before we unveil the results, what quantifies as hot? To us is a mix of traits—you gotta surf good and look amazing doing so.
While Alana Blanchard has dominated the #1 slot for a few years now (and rightfully so) we think you'll be happy to see who landed at the top this year…and probably pissed that a few big names were left off.
10) Rosy Hodge
Age: 25
Hometown: East London, South Africa
If you like your girls tall, blonde, and African, behold Rosy Hodge. A ripping regularfoot who is nearly six-feet tall, Rosy has found her niche doing post heat interviews and color commentary for various ASP World Tour events. As well, Rosy recently hit the big screen when she appeared in Blue Crush 2, which was filmed in her native South Africa.
Follow Rosy at:
9) Coco Ho
Age: 20
Hometown: Sunset Beach, Oahu
Coming from the Ho family surfing dynasty, Coco is like a princess on the North Shore. One of the fittest and most fun girls on tour, Coco is the ringleader of all the shenanigans the girls get into. Wanna get a date with her? Be cool, man. She's got the whole North Shore watching out for her.
Follow Coco at:
8. Catherine Clark
Age: 18
Hometown: Ventura, CA
Catherine Clark's name may not be as recognizable as the other girls on this list, but her face certainly is. This 18-year old surfer/model has been featured heavily in Billabong girls print ad campaigns the past couple of years. If you didn't know her name, consider this an introduction. As well, she grew up surfing the NSSA and Jr. Pro comps, even finishing 4th in a junior event at Sunset Beach in 2009. More than just a pretty face, Catherine's a well-rounded surfer girl.
7) Laura Enever
Age: 19
Hometown: North Narrabeen, Australia
Laura Enever is hot (well, duh), starred in Nike's Leave A Message (the best all girls surf flick ever), loves to dance and post her moves on the 'net, and is currently ranked 10th in the world. Do we need to give any more reasons why she made this list?
Follow Laura at:
6) Malia Manuel
Age: 18
Hometown: Wailua, Kauai, Hawaii
On the strength of two back-to-back six-star victories in September, Malia Manuel qualified for next years ASP Women's World Tour. Just prior to those gigantic wins, she nailed the cover of the August 2011 edition of TransWorld SURF. Coincidence? We think not. We'll take credit for her late season surge and claim the cover gave her the extra confidence to go on a tear, win two massive ASP events, and catapult her way into the big leagues. And now, she caps her year off with a spot on our list of 2011's hottest surfer girls, and very deservedly so.
Follow Malia at:
5) Sally Fitzgibbons
Age: 20
Hometown: New South Wales, Australia
As it stands, we are forced to leave plenty of deserving, good-looking females off this list—hot surfer girls are occupying lineups all around the globe and compiling a top 10 is no easy task. Of course, including Sally Fitzgibbons was a no brainer. Not only does she have the looks, but also the surfing ability to turn heads anywhere—both in and out of the water. Currently ranked second in the world, Sally was an easy pick.
Follow Sally at:
4) Anastasia Ashley
Age: 24
Hometown: San Clemente, CA./North Shore, Oahu
Under the tutelage of Jamie O'Brien, Anastasia Ashley was charging on the North Shore last winter. A win at the Women's Pipeline Pro and session at Waimea made us realize she's more than just a pretty face with a rockin' body…a feature in Playboy Magazine (below) didn't hurt either.
Follow Anastasia at:
3) Maya Gabeira
Age: 24
Hometown: Rio De Janiero, Brazil
How can such a pretty girl be so freakin' crazy when it comes to rushing huge surf? We're as baffled as the next guy—and secretly waiting to see if her top falls off after every wipeout.
Follow Maya at:
2) Alana Blanchard
Age: 21
Hometown: North Shore, Kauai
Alana has been at the top of this list for a few years now and we see no reason why she won't be in years to come. After falling off the women's ASP World Tour, the ripping regular foot got back on in 2011 and ended up ranked fifteenth in the world. But with those long legs, deadly smile, and ultra small bikini bottoms that the judges love, she's world #2 in our book. As well, Alana and friends had the most-viewed web clip of the year when they posted a birthday dance party clip onto youtube…see below.
Follow Alana at:
1) Monyca Byrne Wickey
Age: 20
Hometown: Hana, Maui
Ladies and gentlemen we have a new #1! A Hawaiian hula dancer and ripping surfer, Monyca Byrne Wickey can be spotted from billboards in LA to in-flight movie on Hawaiian Airlines. Hailing from the small town of Hana in the jungles of east Maui, Monyca's idea of a good time is to drop the tailgate at the beach and listen to Hawaiian music with her boyfriend, pro surfer Ola Elogram, who we've deemed the luckiest guy in the world.
Follow Monyca at:
Additional Hotness…
How could we leave ASP World Champions Stephanie Gilmore and Carissa Moore off the list? What about Brazilian babe Bruna Schmitz and Aussie knockout Ellie Jean Coffey? And where are California girls Sage Erickson and Erica Hosseini? They are all on the radar but didn't make the Top 10 cut. Shame on us! Who else did we miss? Let us know in the comment box below.

I have a little treat for you today. Something quick and easy. Something sorta unexpected but interesting and fun. Sweet Greek Flatbread.
I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while now and I recently put it to the test. For some reason I just kept thinking about these flavors. It seemed like a good idea. Combine some tangy, salty feta cheese with pure, sweet honey, and a sprinkle of lemon zest and oregano. Some of the best of Greek ingredients. I know – the oregano is really unexpected in a sweet recipe, but it works. It works really well! And, trust me, this is so simple you really won't even need a recipe for it, but I wrote one up just in case.
Greek flatbread topped with warm feta cheese, honey, lemon zest and oregano. Serve as an appetizer, snack, or light dessert. Click To Tweet
I use one small flatbread or one pita for each person. Place the flatbread on a baking sheet. Crumble the feta onto the bread and put it in a 350 degree oven for 7 or 8 minutes. Now, I know that feta is not a melting cheese, but when heated it gets really nice and soft and almost creamy. Up until this recipe, I'd only had feta cold in salads so I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed it warm! You could serve this little treat as an afternoon snack, an appetizer, or a dessert.
When the feta has softened, remove the pan from the oven and drizzle each flatbread with honey. Scatter over the lemon zest and oregano.
That's all there is to it. And if it's too hot for you to start up the oven right now, pop it on the grill instead! Even better.
Sweet Greek Flatbread
Per serving:
- 1 flatbread or pita
- 1-2 oz. feta cheese
- 1 tblsp. honey
- ½ tsp. grated lemon zest
- Sprinkle of dried oregano
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the flatbread or pita on a baking sheet.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the bread.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes or until bread is heated through and feta has softened.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with honey.
- Sprinkle with lemon zest and oregano.

The person operating the program would:

Manage any kind of concerns that set up so this fails to become the doctor's another employee touches the appointment reserve, they would definitely ensure it was required for compliance with office scheduling policy.
2 The general practitioner must not do extra function than was at first due, until right now there is an opening afterward so that the next individual will certainly not have to await. This can easily appear counter-intuitive at first, because you wish to match in all the production as possible, but making patients hang on will injure you even more in the end. Persons don't like to hold back. Is actually human nature. Therefore once your clients are manufactured wait around, they will begin to think that appointments not necessarily set-in-stone, coming out late themselves, cancelling, or not appearance at all of the. The small tad of extra production you fit in today means you're going to be consuming that in overlooked production after, certainly not to refer to dropped goodwill together with your sufferer foundation. If the individual needs additional treatment than was scheduled and at this time there is an alternative patient directly behind them, simply schedule these to come back within time. This may not really affect events, but My spouse and i keep that decision under your control to carry out wonderful greatest for the sufferer.
3. There ought to be no personal calls, text messaging, emails, or internet scouring the web by the personnel during creation time.In case the agenda is definitely jogging productively, now there is an absense of time with regards to chatting or web viewing. Smart handsets particularly are a significant muddinessconfusion. Even though a quick call or text "will only take a second, inch it basically eats up far more time found in terms of being sidetracked from the job at hand, forgetting things, carrying out them incompletely, or, most detrimental of most, not really focusing on patients and caring for people. Within a truly prosperous day, work is observing sufferers a single proper after the other- bang-bang-bang – appointment scheduling one individual, entering this into the pc, looking at the next individual, phoning to confirm another appointment, and so on. There is usually no moment for distraction inside. If a employee will get a phone regarding a few type of personal emergency, it may of course come to be dealt with promptly, yet other than these kinds of types of points, try to lessen cell phone communication.
Those are a few simple activities you can implement to start out discovering a rise in productivity. Yet that's just the tip of this iceberg. There is much more you can study so that you can operate your timetable as proficiently and proficiently as likely.
Itai??i??s likely that, the office could become significantly extra prolific than it is now, in the equivalent hours. If you want to know more, I'd personally suggest taking on the nineteen policies that I formulate in my workshop, The Skill of Scheduling Productively. I just travel nationwide delivering this kind of seminar to thousands of dental specialists, nonetheless it is likewise on DVD AND BLU-RAY. You can view this in the coziness of your own residence or business office and teach your entire staff upon it since well. The DVD is merely $199 to get a potential increase of various 1000s of dollars found in development, not to point out the number of headaches which might be lowered if you have a smoothly operating timetable, working day in and day away.

I've lost it. The new look might be 'professional', but it's been at a cost I reckon.
I like to make use of search facilities. There may be a topic I recall and would like to dig up again, there may be an issue I'd like to research before making comment. It's become more difficult to do so. There's a little simple search box at top right of screen, but it's hardly functional to any great extent. The results it spits out are not accompanied by any mechanism to refine the search further.
It used to be that there was a Search button at top left of screen, and if you clicked on the button rather than entering a search criteria, you got acces to 'advanced' search filtering. That's gone, seemingly.
Yeah, I found it! I brought up 'Today's posts', and there, in the topic heading, was a 'Search' link which led me to the advanced filtering entry dialogue. The old way was confusing, and hardly intuitive, and this new way of hiding it is horrendous!
Please, please can we have a 'Search' button with a visible link to the 'Advanced' search filters?

Illiteracy is a problem in our communities often related to the fact that some people speak only Quechua that is an oral, not written, language. An average diabetic takes a dozen or more pills every day divided throughout the day. We use symbols for medications and times of days and simplify the schedule so that patients take their medications at meal times and before bed.
We have patients suffering from dementia who have little family support. It is difficult for them to take their medications or for us to know what and how much they took when. Our promotoras (community health workers) are invaluable in this respect. We have a few patients who take all their all medications under direct supervision of promotoras. Promotoras live where they serve so patients are never more than a short walking distance away.
We are striving to provide high quality health care with few resources. Therefore we put all the money into care and none into buildings (except for a small permanent clinic we rent). It is better to not have a roof and give patients the medications they need than to have a roof and give them less.

In search of the right path to mixed-martial-arts stardom, the journeys of Sevak Magakian and Karen Darabedyan have taken them to the country's heartland.
On Saturday night at the O'Reilly Family Event Center in Springfield, Mo., the Glendale fighters will take an important step when they venture inside the cage at ShoFight MMA 20.
For Magakian (10-3), who faces off with Strikeforce and Bellator veteran JP Reese (6-2), a former University of Missouri wrestling standout, in a lightweight contest upon the main card, it will be a hopeful last step — provided a victory is to be had — before venturing into the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
"I have to win this fight," Magakian said. "I don't want it to go to the judges' decision. It's his hometown, so I want to finish him."
And for Darabedyan (9-4), once a burgeoning star in the ranks of World Extreme Cagefighting, it is the hopeful genesis of a comeback to the sport more than 20 months in the making, with last-week replacement Mike Brazzle (1-1) looking to act as a spoiler.

In this ongoing series, we ask executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders about mistakes that have shaped their business philosophy.
Neil Grimmer
Neil Grimmer co-founded the baby food company Plum Organics with the goal of introducing kids to healthy eating through tasty pureed fruits, veggies, grains and other nutritious ingredients. Besides baby food, Plum Organics also sells healthy snacks for toddlers and children, and recently introduced a line of organic infant formula. When the company was purchased by Campbell Soup Co. three years ago, Grimmer stayed on as CEO for two and a half years before stepping down to become chairman of the board this January. He has two daughters.
The Mistake:
My mistake was believing that there was a CEO playbook, or some sort of model that I had to follow, a set of guiding principles that I needed to know to be a great CEO.
In high school, I was this punk rock kid with half my head shaved. I was really into music and art, and I was in a very high-achieving school. When we all decided what we were going to do as our next step, people were going to Yale, Stanford, Harvard — and I was going to art school. It was seen by many of my peers as one of the biggest mistakes you could make. For me, I focused on following my passion and committed to the idea of creative expression. That's what I loved to do.
As the years rolled on, I had a band that played out in Berkeley, and we opened for Green Day a bunch of times, and we went on national tours. My parents would hear stories about these kids from Yale and Harvard going into investment banking and all of these celebrated professions, and here I am touring around the country getting more tattoos on my body.
When I actually started running a company, I have to admit I had some insecurities around that idea. I felt like a wolf in sheep's clothing. For someone who was actually bucking convention for the majority of his life, it's funny to think that was the moment where I said, "Oh my gosh, there must be something I need to learn or adjust to or become to be a great CEO."
I had investors that would tell me things like, "You've got to toughen up." I'm a big-hearted guy — tons of empathy, care deeply about people I work with and the world around me — and I'd have people say, "Toughen up, buttercup. This is business, it's not personal."
Early on, we wanted everyone to have an equity stake in the business, and some of our investors said, "Eh, that's not a good idea." That was the first moment where I thought, "That doesn't make sense." We elected not to do that and we elected to give everyone an equity stake in the company.
The wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve approach ... is actually a unique business characteristic.
The Lesson:
In the early days, I think I tried on a lot of these things for size and I learned really quickly that those things you may learn even in an MBA program are the things that have led us to where we are today with business, where by and large corporations are mistrusted. What I've learned is that the wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve approach I take to life is actually a unique business characteristic that I believe is sorely missing.
When you take an approach like, "It's not personal, it's business," by the very nature of that statement you take humanity out of the decision-making process. You take the ethics and morality that we associate with being a good neighbor and a good citizen out of the decision-making process, and those are things that we need now more than ever with good corporate stewardship.
On our wall [at Plum Organics], one of the three mantras we have is "Lead with heart," which means everything we do comes from a place of love and care for the people we serve. At the end of the day, we're a baby food company. We're in service to young parents raising their little ones, and it's one of the most important times in people's lives. We've got to show up not only as great business people, but also as parents that have kids of our own and use those values to drive every decision we make. Ultimately, that has been a core part of the secret of success.

I love her smile, she is so dang cute! The bike looks awesome, does she like it?

Updated: First an online word-processing software and now a spreadsheet – yup, Google is building an online office suite. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google Spreadsheet will "be made available on a limited test Basis." The New York Times says Jonathan Rochelle is the Google Spreadsheets product manager, who was the founder of XL2Web. WSJ, however, did not reveal which company Google just snapped up.
My sources say that ithere is good chance, the company that got acquired is iRows. News.com reports that it is will be made available via Google Labs. We shall know more details tomorrow when the company announces the product.
Google Spreadsheet, Not iRows
Updated: First an online word-processing software and now a spreadsheet – yup, Google is building an online office suite. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Google Spreadsheet will "be made available on a limited test Basis." The New York Times says Jonathan Rochelle is the Google Spreadsheets product manager, who was the founder of XL2Web. WSJ, however, did not reveal which company Google just snapped up.
Tom's comments about 2Web Technologies and Om Malik not being able to see the reference. Fourth paragraph down, simple to spot.
Here's the paragraph in full:
The service supports Microsoft Excel documents as well as the CSV format, and is based on technology from a company called 2Web Technologies that Google acquired last year, a company spokesperson told vnunet.com.
I know this thread is months old, but hey, thought Tom deserved his moment of fame – he wrote the article after all!
I wrote up a quick review of Google Spreadsheets along with some screenshots I made in the process. You can read it here:
Manual trackback –
Looks like a good collaborative product. i think they've done a good job tying it in with their IM service. it'll be interesting to see what the adoption rate is like. definitely not for enterprise users, but would be useful for small-time team projects that require collaboration.
I think they'll also integrate this into the gmail interface, if the initial reaction to the product is good.
GMail is really the one app that can tie a lot of google services together.
The Google spreadsheet is now available for the invited test users!
Google is directly competing with open source projects like OpenOffice and Sun's free StarOffice.
Google acquired Writely (word processing) and now has a spreadsheet. There was speculation last year that Google would partner with Sun to offer a version of StarOffice. Instead Google has decided to go its own way and compete with OpenOffice and StarOffice.
C/Net says "Google spreadsheets turns up heat on Excel" I don't think so. Microsoft Office is a powerful, industrial strength, client based, information worker productivity platform. Microsoft Office is moving beyond just being a collection of applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to being a server based application platform for ISVs. Lots of companies run their business on Excel spreadsheets. Now creative start-ups are using Office as a front end User Interface to a whole variety of business applications.
I wrote a blog on this subject today http://dondodge.typepad.com/thenextbigthing/2006/06/googlecompetin.html
If you want to organise the world's information, it is a lot easier if it is in your format.
The spreadsheet product isn't for company budgets and other internal grinding, where you have all the "is my data safe stored outside the building†and "my macro can do more than yours†issues. There might be some Microsoft Office deflections, but that's surely a bonus.
Google HAD to do a spreadsheet because it is simply the best, most flexible, easy to use database currently available. It and Writey are nice big widgets, not serious standalone programs. The future is what you can do with them.
A spreadsheet gets data into Google in a slightly more structured format. Think a GUI for GoogleBase. Think integration into Google page creator, then look at anycalc.com, powered by XL2Web, which just happens to have been founded by Jonathan Rochelle, the Google spreadsheet product manager. The analogy is Google Earth and the acquisition of SketchUp.
Instead of the baroque complexity of Office and its islands of data, give people a tool to use information. Spreadsheet and Writely are just seamless components of that vision. You win by changing the rules, not by a feature-for-feature race with Excel or Word.
If its a Google , then it has to be a goodie …Now if they can only come up with a Kick Ass O/S and blow it out the Window.
I think it can be http://editgrid.com . This is one the best apps out there, with muti-user editing.
Try http://zohosheet.com/home.do which seems to have beaten Google to the party! :-)
For small companies and individuals, I truly believe the risk for most users is greater on their own desktop than with Google secured storage. I'm a security fanatic, yet I see such a high risk in security today that a Google app really doubles as a useful tool and a secure mechanism, above and beyond 90% of users.
Tom, not finding the 2Web reference.
i guess this means someone else is going to buy dabbledb!
cheers, mark
Or even remotely worked on, nevermind remotely stored!
No surprise here. Who will be next, thumbstacks for presentation software or Gliffy for diagramming? Then what about MS Access or Project-like apps?
Security will be a concern for enterprises as a lot of companies do not allow their documents to be remotely stored.
Tom – I don't see a reference to 2Web in that story…was it maybe another one that you were thinking of or do you think the vnunet story has been revised?
The service is based on technology from 2Web Technologies, a company that Google acquired last year, Google told vnunet.com
Dave and all – I updated the story. I think iRows is not the one. It was a bit of a false alarm. I apologize to all readers.
I don't think it will be iRows…iRows already has charting capability, and apparently the Google Spreadsheet (GS) does not. Also, GS is supposed to be tabbed, and I don't think iRows does that yet.
Funny thing, I just got my monthly iRows newsletter (for June) 47 minutes ago. No mention of Google…
Security will need to be tight in order for this to work. I would hazard a guess that over 90% of spreadsheets contain sensitive data. Not the type of thing that corporations will want to lose control over. Although I suppose the same could be said for text documents too.
These new online apps are great. I'm using Yahoo! mail (beta) and it's a perfect example of the advantages of online versus desktop. It eliminates configuration, syncronization, backup, and it's much safer.
Google's spreadsheet is wonderful. It will be great for most usage (95% probably). Centralized and protected. Accessible from any computer by anyone at anytime!

But this is rather vague" ( A Student's Introduction to English Grammar, 2006). Also see subject. Getty Images Languages English Grammar Glossary of Key Terms Using Words Correctly Writing Tips & Advice Sentence Structures Rhetoric & Style Punctuation & Mechanics Developing Effective Paragraphs Developing Effective Essays Commonly Confused Words Questions & Answers Exercises & Quizzes Topic Suggestions Readings & Resources English as a Second Language Spanish French German Italian Japanese Mandarin Russian View More by Richard Nordquist Richard Nordquist is a freelance writer and former professor of English and Rhetoric who wrote college-level Grammar and Composition textbooks. Updated June 11, 2017 In English grammar, a predicate is one of the two main parts of a sentence or clause, modifying the subject and including the verb, objects, or phrases governed by the verb. Adjective: predicative. In both grammar and logic, the predicate serves to make an assertion or denial about the subject of the sentence, as in "Merdine sneezes" and "George never smiles."In the words of Martha Kolln and Robert Funk, "The subject of the sentence is generally what the sentence is about—its topic. The predicate is what is said about the subject. The two parts can be thought of as the topic and the comment" (Understanding English Grammar, 1998). Don't confuse the term predicate with the traditional grammatical terms predicate nominative (a noun that follows a linking verb) and predicate adjective (an adjective that follows a linking verb). Etymology From the Latin, "to proclaim" or "make known Examples and Observations Birds sing, dogs bark, and bees buzz.In B.B. King's hands, the guitar screams, whispers, laughs, cries, and preaches."We rob banks."(Warren Beatty as Clyde Barrow in Bonnie and Clyde, 1967)"The Grinch hated Christmas."(Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Random House, 1957)"We should take Bikini Bottom and push it somewhere else!"(Patrick in "Squid on Strike." SpongeBob SquarePants, 2001)"Momma was preparing our evening meal, and Uncle Willie leaned on the door sill."(Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Random House, 1969)"Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."(Attributed to Admiral Hyman Rickover, Eleanor Roosevelt, and others)"If you build it, he will come."(Ray Liotta as Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams, 1989)"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."(Mark Twain)Subject and Predicate"'I came. I saw. I conquered.' In each sentence, Julius Caesar showed unity of thought and expressed himself in the most direct way possible. Like Caesar, you should put your faith in the sentence's bare bones: subject and predicate. . . ."The predicate, at its core, is a verb that tells what the subject does or is. In Caesar's statements, the predicates are the single verbs came, saw, and conquered. . . . The predicate, in short, is everything that is not the subject. In addition to the verb, it can contain direct objects, indirect objects, and various kinds of phrases . . .."(Constance Hale, Sin and Syntax: How to Craft Wickedly Effective Prose. Three Rivers Press, 2001) Predicate as Action"The predicate typically describes a property of the person or thing referred to by the subject or describes a situation in which this person or thing plays some role. In elementary clauses describing an action, the subject normally indicates the actor, the person or thing performing the action, while the predicate describes the action, as in Kim left and People complained."(Rodney Huddleston and Geoffrey K. Pullum, A Student's Introduction to English Grammar. Cambridge University Press, 2006)Placement of Subject and Predicate"The conventional placement of subject and predicate in conversation helps with the identification. We expect to find the subject (the who or what a sentence is about) at the beginning of the sentence, and once that is identified, we expect the rest of the sentence to tell what the subject does or is like."(Thomas P. Klammer, Muriel R. Schulz, and Angela Della Volpe, Analyzing English Grammar. Pearson Education, 2007)Predicates and Arguments"Current views of grammar hold that, in selecting a predicate, a language user determines possible syntactic structures. Selecting the predicate GIVE obliges one to construct a sentence on the lines GIVE + Noun Phrase + Noun Phrase (give the dog a bone) or GIVE + Noun Phrase + to + Noun Phrase (give a bone to the dog)."The entities that the predicate tells us about are referred to as its arguments. Thus, the sentence Maggie gives the dog a bone has three arguments: Maggie, dog, bone. Sentences are sometimes represented in terms of their underlying abstract predicate/argument structure, using a format in which the predicate appears followed by the arguments in brackets: GIVE (Maggie, dog, bone)"(John Field, Psycholinguistics: The Key Concepts. Routledge, 2004) Predicate Words and Complements"The relationship between the predicate word, such like DO, SAY, WANT, and SEE, and its 'complements' like SOMETHING, ONE THING, or SOMEONE is not the same as that between a head and a modifier in an attributive relation, if only because a head can normally occur with or without its attribute, whereas predicates like DO, SAY, WANT, and SEE do require their complements (if they are not . . . understood as elliptical). At the same time, it is clear that it is the element SOMETHING which is dependent on the predicates DO, SAY, and WANT, rather than the other way around, for it is the predicate which determines whether or not a complement is possible, and what the range of possible complements is. For example, SEE combines, universally, with the complements SOMETHING, SOMEONE, and PEOPLE, whereas SAY and DO (and in many languages WANT) combine only with SOMETHING."(Cliff Goddard and Anna Wierzbicka, "Semantic Primes and Universal Grammar."
