Kix Brooks Was Hesitant to Release 'New to This Town' on 9/11 Anniversary
Kix Brooks admits he was hesitant to agree to a September 11 release of his new album, 'New to This Town.' The singer didn't want to be difficult, but he didn't think the mood of his first solo album in 23 years matched what he thought the nation would be feeling on the 11th anniversary of the New York City and Washington D.C. terrorist attacks. In the end, he decided he was wrong, leaning on a decision he and Ronnie Dunn made just days after the original tragedy.
"I did kind of harken back to our first show after the towers came down," Brooks tells Taste of Country, remembering that the show was just miles from Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where one of the jets crashed in a field. "I remember Ronnie and I sitting on the bus discussing whether we should cancel the show or not. Just because we didn't wanna be disrespectful and with 'Boot Scootin' Boogie' and all the rest of our nonsense. We just didn't wanna be disrespectful to the people that had lost their lives."
"At the end of the conversation, we both kind of got pissed off and said, 'You know, here we are letting these terrorists do exactly what they wanted to do which is change the way they live our lives, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let that happen," he explains.
The duo talked to the crowd about how they felt before the show began, and the response was overwhelming. "I've never, ever been a part of a show that moved me like that," Brooks says. "That crowd was frickin' nuts that night. And it was all USA and flags waving and people hugging each other and man I kind of feel the same way about this. I think we still respect that day and we still remember that day but at the same time our lives need to continue without letting some terrorist action change what we do."

For the absolute most spectacular view of Milwaukee anywhere, a newly engaged couple should head to Kilbourn Park. Most area residents probably know it better by location than by name – it's the steep hill that rises above North Avenue between Interstate 43 and the East Side. Park on a surrounding street and wear comfortable shoes for walking uphill a quarter-mile, or up several flights of stairs. (This is why it's better for engagement photos; formal dress shoes will not get up here easily.) Once you reach the top, you will agree it was worth it; your photographs will really pop in this setting.
Located in the middle of Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, an area where artists can afford the rent and gentrification has not yet taken hold, the park provides unlimited possibilities for the photographer. Atop the hill, virtually every tall building in Milwaukee is spread out before you in a 180-degree arc as the skyscrapers of downtown merge seamlessly into the condo towers of the Gold Coast. In warmer seasons, leafy trees provide a foreground contrast for photos, and behind everything, the deep blue of Lake Michigan stretches to the horizon. Even after your photographer is done with the shoot, you may want to linger and celebrate your engagement with a quiet moment in this unique island of serenity within Milwaukee's bustle. (It would also be a great place to get engaged, if you haven't already.)
Near the left edge of your spectacular view, you will see a single narrow tower pointing skyward. When you and your photographer walk down the hill and get in the car, drive east on North Avenue through the funky, hip East Side until you're right at the base of it – it's the landmark Water Tower. This Victorian Gothic landmark was built in 1873 and served the city's water needs from Lake Michigan until 1963, but rather than tear it down, its memorable architecture was left to grace the skyline. The building itself is not open to the public, but if you stand at a short distance, your photographer can get some dramatic vertical photos as the building rises in the background. And of course, you're close to the limitless backdrop of the lake. Whether it's serene or choppy on the day of your engagement shoot, you can't have a better setting.
The Water Tower marks the edge of Milwaukee's East Side, where young, creative, intellectual types live and play on a crazy-quilt of streets created by the collision of Milwaukee's north-south grid with the inward curve of Lake Michigan. But if bustling, funky urban street life isn't your preference for an engagement photo, you can celebrate the area with some great shots in the Oriental Theater on Farwell Avenue. One of Milwaukee's few remaining movie palaces, the interior of the building drips with minarets, elephants, chandeliers, and other decorative touches painstakingly preserved from the 1920s.
Next, head to Lake Park, which doesn't actually border Lake Michigan but gets its name from the spectacular views. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, who also created Central Park in New York City, the park stretches along the bluff overlooking the lake, and even in summer, when leaves cover the trees, every twist and turn of the paths offers new sylvan idylls. The park's most photographed spot may be the North Point Lighthouse, built in the 1870s to steer Great Lakes shipping away from the shores. The light at the top of the tower, positioned 160 feet above the water, is still in use. And make sure to get some photographs on the graceful, well-aged footbridges over the ravines near the lighthouse – the arches and carved stone lions that guard the approaches, nestled amid trees and vines, will take you to another time and place.
Even if you venture into an open area and look away from the lake, your photographer still has possibilities; the row of stately, century-old mansions along Lake Drive offers a photo backdrop of understated opulence. The combination of private and public space speaks to a time, still preserved, when Milwaukee's wealth boomed.
If you return to the main parking lot of Lake Drive, you'll see an elegant, low white building. It's Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro, regularly voted among Milwaukee's very best restaurants. Go around the building and down the steps for more wonderful photographs of natural woods and water mixed with man-made stones, bridges and winding roads. Then stop for lunch or dinner afterward. It's an unforgettable ending to your engagement photo session.

Almost everyone loves a great comeback story and, for those who do, few are more compelling than the one unfolding in Detroit as the Motor City sheds its "loser-ville" image.
After decades of decay, the city that was at Ground Zero of the auto industry collapse, then floored by a recession is getting back on its feet, a resilience reflected by its sports teams and highlighted by the Tigers' return to the World Series.
The auto industry and the beaten-down city it calls home may still be in the midst of a painful recovery, but Detroit is to feel the full impact of a robust Tiger economy this weekend as the Motor City gets set to host Games 3, 4 and 5 of the Fall Classic.
The Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau estimates that three games would pour US$26 million into a city that can use every cent.
"We expect it [World Series] to have an impact of upwards of US$8 million a game … it is an economic engine for us," Detroit Sports Commission executive director Dave Beachnau said.
"One of the reasons we formed the Detroit Sports Commission was we see the value and importance of hosting events of that magnitude, not only because of the economic benefits they can provide, but also by casting a positive image on the region," he added. "We are changing the perception of Detroit."
Once a bustling city that was home to nearly 2 million people, Detroit now has fewer than 800,000 residents, with many having fled to the suburbs to escape the high crime rates and to search for jobs, leaving behind the decaying shell of a once great US metropolis.
While the Tigers' return to the World Series will do more to boost sagging spirits and civic pride than turn around the local economy, the Major League Baseball team, the National Hockey League's Red Wings and the National Football League's Lions are doing their part to breathe life into a downtown that was left for dead.
Comerica Park and Ford Field, located across the street from each other, are two world-class facilities providing an anchor for the redevelopment of the downtown core.
Amid the acres of empty lots and boarded-up, crumbling buildings, new businesses have begun to sprout up.
Once a foreboding "no-go" zone, people now happily linger before and after games at a growing number of pubs and restaurants, instead of racing to cars and back to the suburbs.
Despite the tough times and one of the highest unemployment rates in the US, Tigers fans have been among the Major League's most loyal and this year they have topped 3 million in attendance for the third time in six seasons.
Detroit fans stood by the Lions when they stumbled to an 0-16 season and celebrated with the Red Wings, who won the Stanley Cup in 2008 and reached the final in 2009, giving the city something to cheer about just as the car industry was starting to implode.
The Tigers' appearance in the World Series has helped dull the impact of the NHL lockout and a sluggish start to the season by the Lions, who are to contribute to the party this weekend when they host the Seattle Seahawks today.
"The economy in Michigan and the Detroit region has made more progress than just about any other place in the nation," Detroit Regional Chamber president and CEO Sandy Baruah said.
"The entrepreneurs are coming back, the auto industry is doing better and there is investment in the city. Good things are happening and the national media is recognizing that," she added.

I'm Out of the Office. No, Really. I Am.
I was out of the office for two weeks earlier this spring. Before I left, I performed all the usual tasks: I tidied up my desk, wrapped up a few stories and set up an out-of-office email message. The note said I would be out for two weeks and would NOT (yes, I used all caps) have regular access to email. I also provided an alternate contact for the duration of my absence.
But I quickly learned that my attempt to truly unplug was futile.
The red blinking light of doom emanating from my BlackBerry drew me in. I tried to resist, but I was too weak. So I checked my messages.
I was horrified to see at least four or five notes following up on emails that had only been sent a day or two earlier–when my out-of-office response was already switched on. The senders knew I was out, yet they still felt the need to send another note, asking why I didn't respond. One went so far as to send a text message to my personal cellphone after receiving my automatic reply, convinced that her news was too important to wait. (It wasn't.)
Is the out-of-office message meaningless? Earlier this year a New Yorker column got to the heart of the problem: People often don't really mean it when they say they're not checking messages. Then, when someone actually does need to go off the grid, it's not taken as a serious threat. It's a problem plenty of people have, but there are fixes…

Carports & Steel Buildings History
Carports these days are generally made of metal, steel being the preferable choice. Thousands of carports are installed every year & done right, can be a great long term investment. Carport structures are a very popular form of metal building. Modern technology and computer aided drafting software has enabled many prefabricated elements to be brought to the building site to allow for a relatively quick assembly as opposed to the early days of building.
The use of steel shelters by the military during WWII may have contributed to the metal building industry, as we know it today. Steel buildings became more common and widely accepted after the war also because steel became more readily available. The steel industry as a whole is a sun setting industry in America but is on the rise in developing countries. Steel itself has been revered for its strength possibly as far back as the 4th century BC.

Only two varieties of nuts are currently offered—almond and hazelnut—but perhaps Chuck can be convinced to experiment others (pistachio, please!). Our personal preference gravitates to the hazelnuts, but public opinion (and our editor) prefers the almonds. They're Chuck's best-selling product!
Our leaning is to the classics: While we like the Wine-Infused Collection, it can be somewhat light on the wine flavor. Cabernet Sauvignon is the highlight, with Merlot coming in second. The white wine flavors are just too subtle to compete against the fruit flavors with which they are paired. Perhaps we can look for a dry Chardonnay, or better yet, a Shiraz in the future?
It seems mean-spirited to complain, though...we ate every piece!

The Academy was founded in Paris in 1666 by Jean-Baptiste Colbert. He was at that time controller general of finance in France and his programme of economic reconstruction was largely responsible for making France the leading power in Europe. Colbert was in a position to give the new Academy the support it needed and he arranged for it to meet in the royal library. Right from the beginning the Academy contained foreign members and, for example, Huygens was one of the founding members. The excellent financial position of the Academy is illustrated by the fact that it was able to grant Huygens a large pension and an apartment in its building.
In 1699 the Academy was reorganized under the royal patronage of Louis XIV and transferred to meet in the Louvre. It was seen as a forum for the development of science but, as a state institution, it had wide consultation responsibilities, in particular for patents and technology. It had a small active membership consisting of 56 scientists who were divided into subject disciplines. There were two main categories, namely Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences. These in turn were each divided into three, with geometry, mechanics and astronomy being the three Mathematical Sciences, while chemistry, botany and anatomy were the three Physical Sciences. Note that 'geometry' was used at this time in the sense we would use 'mathematics' today. This was clearly a classification based on Aristotle. Administratively the Academy was run by the Perpetual Secretary, who undertook the assignment of duties, annual reports on the achievements of the Academy, obituaries of members etc.
The Academy established a system of prizes in 1721. These had a major impact on the development of mathematics and other sciences as they directed work towards important areas. One of the earliest prizes was awarded to Maclaurin for his work on the impact of bodies.
The Academy set up a committee consisting of leading experts to judge each Grand Prix. Let us give some details of the Grand Prix competitions with information extracted from our archive. In 1727 Bouguer and Camus shared the Grand Prix for their submissions on masts of ships. Euler also submitted an entry which was placed third. In 1729 Bouguer again won the Grand Prix, this time with an essay on observing the altitudes of stars at sea. In 1731 Bouguer won his third Grand Prix from the Académie for his work on the observation of the magnetic declination at sea. Euler shared the Grand Prize in 1738 and again in 1740. Coulomb shared the 1777 prize with a memoir on the magnetic compass. Coulomb's major work on friction Théorie des machines simples won him the Grand Prix from the Académie in 1781.
A major reform of the Academy's structure was undertaken by Lavoisier and introduced in 1785. The broad structure of Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences was retained but each was now split into four. To geometry, mechanics and astronomy in the Mathematical Sciences was added 'general physics'. This was to include topics such as optics, electricity, magnetism, acoustics and heat which were still largely experimental subjects at this time but were beginning to become more mathematical in nature. The classification was a good one for it correctly anticipated these subjects becoming applied mathematics (and in a small way contributed to this trend). The three Physical Sciences of chemistry, botany and anatomy became four subjects: chemistry and metallurgy; mineralogy and natural history; botany and agriculture; and anatomy.
The French Revolution began with the storming of the Bastille on 14 July 1789 and this would have a major impact on the Academy. In 1793 the Reign of Terror commenced and the Academy, along with the other learned societies, was abolished on 8 August of that year. As a Royal institution it was an obvious target of the Revolution and although some argued that it served a useful purpose for the nation and should be exempted, even some of its members accepted that it was undemocratic and approved of its abolition. Lavoisier was arrested and subsequently executed. In 1795 more moderate republicans then in power in France established the National Institute and the functions of the Academy were assumed by a branch of the new Institute. The National Convention ratified the creation of the Institut National des Sciences et des Arts on 22 August 1795. The First Class of the Institute was Science with 60 members (and effectively the old Academy), the Second Class was Moral and Political Sciences with 36 members, the Third Class was literature and fine arts with 48 members.
The 60 members of the First Class were divided into ten sections with six members each. There was still the division into two categories, Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences, as had existed before. Mathematical Sciences now consisted of: mathematics; mechanical arts; astronomy; and experimental physics. Physical Sciences now consisted of: chemistry; natural history and mineralogy; botany and vegetable physics; anatomy and zoology; medicine and surgery; and rural economy and veterinary medicine.
On 9 November 1799 Napoleon and two others seized power in a coup and a new government, the Consulate, was set up. Napoleon became 1st Consul in 1800 and then Emperor in 1804. Even before he became Emperor, however, Napoleon had become dissatisfied with the National Institute, of which he made himself President in 1801, and he reorganised it in 1803. His particular displeasure with "the salon politics of liberal intellectuals" was directed at the Second Class which he abolished. However, some of its work was retained in a new geography section which was added to the First Class and new historical sections were added to the Third Class. The two categories of Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences were retained for the First Class with Mathematical Sciences now divided into five: geometry; mechanics; astronomy; geography and navigation; and general physics. Delambre was made its perpetual secretary.
Following the Restoration of King Louis XVIII in 1816, the name of the Academy was restored but it remained part of the Institute of France. However, even before its name was restored, the Academy was again motivating important contributions with its annual announcement of the Grand Prix topic.
Poisson won the 1812 prize on electricity. To show how precise the prize questions were worded, here is the text of the 1812 prize question:-
To determine by calculation and to confirm by experiment the manner in which electricity is distributed at the surface of electrical bodies considered either in isolation or in the presence of each other - for example at the surface of two electrified spheres in the presence of each other. In order to simplify the problem, the Class asks only for an examination of cases where the electricity spread on each surface remains always of the same kind.In 1816 Cauchy won the Grand Prix of the Academy for a memoir on waves. Fresnel won the Grand Prix for 1819 which was awarded for the best work on diffraction. Abel and Jacobi won the Grand Prix in 1830. This was the famous occasion when Galois submitted an entry to Fourier (who was at that time perpetual secretary), but after Fourier's death the submission was not found and so Galois's memoir was never considered for the prize. The 1825 prize on the compressibility of water was not awarded and was set again in the following year when it was won by Sturm and Colladon with a joint submission.
The 1857 prize was offered for a solution to Fermat's Last Theorem and, not surprisingly, no solutions were submitted even when the deadline was extended. The prize was awarded to Kummer, even although he had not entered! The 1858 Grand Prix was awarded half to Dupré with a paper on Legendre's theory of numbers. In 1859 Bonnet, Bour and Codazzi submitted entries for the prize 'to find all surfaces of a given linear element'. The 1860 prize on group theory was not awarded despite submissions from Kirkman, Emile Mathieu and Jordan. The 1861 topic was on polyhedra. In 1862 Jonquières was awarded two-thirds of the Prize for his work on fourth order plane curves. In 1880 Halphen won the Grand Prix for his work on linear differential equations.

The census enumerations that were completed between 1855 and 1859, inclusive, are actually voters lists. The researcher must note that some voters boycotted elections, making the lists by no means complete. The 1857 Census of Shawnee, Native and Adopted is available in the state archives department at Kansas State Historical Society.
The 1860 Kansas territorial census was taken as part of the federal census. Two copies of it exist. The original copy was sent to Washington, with a transcription retained by the state. Both copies have been indexed and are available for research at the Kansas State Historical Society, Center for Historical Research, making it possible to check inconsistencies between the two returns. A county census was completed at the time of application for county organization. Many of these are extant, some housed at the Kansas State Historical Society, which can provide a list of availability.
Kansas completed state censuses in 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, and 1925. They have been microfilmed, are available for research, and have been partly indexed by the Kansas State Historical Society. A list of those indexed is available from the society. The statistical rolls of the Board of Agriculture contain enumerations for the years 1873 and 1877, 1896 to 1904 (incomplete), 1918, 1920 to 1924, 1925 (taken as part of the state census), 1926 to 1936, and from 1950 to 1979. These rolls only included the head of household until 1955. As with all census records, these must be used with caution as they are not entirely complete, but they are a good source for recent data.
Ancestry.com has a Kansas State Census Collection, 1855-1925 that includes state censuses for Kansas for the following years: 1855, 1856, 1857, 1858, 1859, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895, 1905, 1915, 1925. The censuses completed from 1855-1859 are actually voter lists. There is also a Kansas Census, 1850-90 collection that contains the following indexes: 1850 Federal Census Index; 1855 Territorial Census Index; 1856 State Census Index; 1857 State Census Index; 1858 State Census Index; 1859 State Census Index; 1860 Federal Census Index; 1870 Federal Census Index; 1890 Veterans Schedule.
There are also indexes for Riley county, Kansas, 1885 State Census, Riley county, Kansas, 1905 State Census and Riley County, Kansas State Census, 1915 at Ancestry.com.
Native American Censuses
Also available at the Kansas State Historical Society are:
- Enrollment cards of the Five Civilized Tribes (1898'1914): Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole.
- Indian census rolls (1885'1940), primarily for tribes with a Kansas connection.
Voter Registration
There is an index of Kansas Voter Registration Lists, 1854-1856 online at Ancestry.com.

Beyond the river stretches the interminable prairie, where the fields of harvested wheat lie wrapped in slumber; . . . . The light stealing upon the broad shadows, first touches the tops of the prairie wagons. . . . Then, making more and more progress, it shines. . . and at last, in full glory of splendor, brings out the yellow of the cultivated fields and the course brown of the sandy soil.

Front Closure Bra Fitting Tips: Please note a front closure is fitted to the actual bra size and is not adjustable. The Leading Lady 5415 bra is sized to fit the tightest hook on a conventional bra. If you are wearing your bra on the tightest hook this bra will fit you. If you are wearing your bra at the loosest hook, your desired size won't fit, you will need to go to a larger band and a smaller cup.
Example: If you normally wear a 38C and use the loosest hook, you will need to go up a band size and down a cup size in order to have a correct fitting bra. In this example, your bra size will be a 40 B. Please contact our customer service department if you need help with sizing, we will gladly help you.

I am full busted and need a lot of support. I also like to minimize my bust when possible. It has always been difficult to find a bra that fits, supports, and minimizes all in one. To add to the mix, I have a lot of sleeveless tops that are cut in a way that my traditional bra straps show! So I looked for a bra that had adjustable straps, that came from mid back, didn't show with sleeveless, and as a bonus, it's front opening. So I bought two to try, and I'm amazed. This is truly everything I wanted.

Thanks to being a juror for the prestigious International Engine of the World Award, Driving.ca's Motor Mouth, David Booth, was lucky enough to drive a heavily-disguised prototype version of Ferrari's new twin-turbocharged 488 Pista. Of course, he didn't count on the snowstorm …
MARANELLO, Italy – Come to Italy, they said, and test a Ferrari on the racetrack. Escape all that horrible snow that's blanketing the northeast. Bask in the warmth of a spring Mediterranean breeze. Sun yourself, said the brochure — OK, it was just an email, but still — in warm Italian sunshine.
Un-huh. What we got was snow — yes snow — on an Italian March 19th that was colder than Toronto's. How cold you ask? So cold, Ferrari's public relations mavens told us, that the Pista — Ferrari's fully 'weaponized' version of the 488 GTB — would have to run on winter tires, the Michelin Sport Cups specifically designed for it simply too stiff in these cold climes to serve as anything other than giant hockey pucks. So, yes, I ended up travelling all the way to Italy just to sample the magic of Ferrari's latest supercar on the most famous test track in the world on snow tires.
Snow tires or no, though, it's a mad thing is Ferrari's new Pista. First off, there's the claimed 720 horsepower. Oh, to be sure, they're of the slightly-wimpier "CV" European breed equines — said 720 CV's translating into about 710 North American Clydesdales — but that's still 50 more horsepower of whatever variation than a garden-variety 488. What one gets — besides a whopping 185 hp, er CV per litre, one of the highest specific outputs in the industry — is a supercar that now tops out at more than 340 kilometres an hour (that's 210+ mile per hour, folks), accelerates to 100 km/h in less than three seconds and hits — in what is becoming the new benchmark for true supercar performance — the 200 km/h mark in under eight seconds.
That makes Ferrari's supposedly 'junior' supercar virtually as fast as all those million-dollar hybrid 'hypercars' introduced but five years ago. So, forget that the Pista accelerates to 200 km/h in the same amount of time as your Toyota Camry — or Ford Fusion/Chevrolet Malibu/Hyundai Sonata for that matter — takes to get to 100. That's just we, the undeserving proletariat, trying to compare a dream we'll never be able to afford to the econobox we can.
What really matters — at least for those lucky denizens of Bay Street fortunate to have half a mil to blow on a set of wheels — is that the Pista's 7.6 seconds is barely 0.2s slower to those 200 km/h than Porsche's million-dollar 918. Lamborghini's Aventador LP 750-4 Super Veloce — with four more bellowing pistons — is barely 10 kilometres an hour faster on the top-end than the breathed-on baby Ferrari. Even Maranello admits that it's own, once-thought-indomitable electrified and V12ed LaFerrari is less than two seconds faster around Fiorano than the new Pista. Equipped with similar tires and without all that aforementioned snow, of course.
And yet, as scintillating as that incredible turn of speed may be, it's not the best thing about the new 488. No, what makes the Pista so special, what makes this one supercar stand out in a sea of similarly-turbocharged competitors (virtually everything supercarish these days, save Lamborghini's Huracan and Audi's quasi-super R8, is force-fed) is that this particular twice-'turboed 3.9L feels like the good, old naturally-aspirated V8 we thought we had lost with the passing of the 458.
Where the GTB's rendition of the F154CD — for that is the designation of this latest variant of the Ferrari V8 that powers everything from the base Portofino to the GTC4LussoT — almost lumbers, the Pista fairly zings. Where previous Ferrari turbos, well, lag when you punch the throttle, the Pista's 3.9L responds with almost naturally-aspirated zeal (Maranello's engineers even have a "roll-on" type measurement for this, noting that Pista is more responsive than the GTB and within milliseconds of the 458). What I am trying to say is that after nearly a decade of the (supercar) industry claiming its turbocharged cars were as involving as the naturally-aspirated glories that emissions and fuel economy standards have forced us to leave behind, Ferrari has delivered. It's a good one, this new Pista engine, still not quite as involving, perhaps, as the 458's old 4.5-litre gem, but more than close enough, as they say, for government regulations. It's waaaay more engaging than the GTB.
As for the source of this goodness, it's actually important to look past the traditional problem of turbo lag. Oh, Ferrari has performed tricks here, such as adding speed sensors directly to each turbocharger so that they always be kept near their optimum operating rpm to optimize throttle response. There's also a new, almost counter-intuitive, camshaft/airbox combination design — which actually bleeds off a little air at the end of the intake stroke — that permits an even higher-compression ratio without the detonation that plagues all high-performance turbocharged engines.
But, despite those very real sources of improvement, the reason for all this newfound turborchaged magic, I think, is the fact that Ferrari claims a 17 per cent reduction in rotational inertia for the Pista's engine compared with the garden-variety GTB. A measure of how quickly all the moving parts inside the motor can "spin up," the Pista's ability to zing to redline is immeasurably aided by a crankshaft that's 1.2 kilograms lighter, titanium connecting rods that are lightened by 220 grams each and even the F154's first use of hollow intake valves. Hardly as exciting as gargantuan turbochargers these details may be, but they are responsible for regaining what turbocharged supercars had lost: Personality.
As for exactly how good the Pista's road-holding, cornering and steering will be, please see my lede, re: snow, 2C temperature and winter tires. Snow tires on a Ferrari, even Pirelli's entirely creditable PZero Sottozeros, are a bit of the proverbial fish on a bicycle. What little I can say is that in its full attack mode, the Pista's suspension is decidedly more firm than the base GTB's and that Ferrari's latest Side Slip Control system manages to contain all that power in conditions better suited to dog sleds and snowball fights. For more than that, you'll have to wait for our full-fledged road test later this summer, hopefully with seasonal driving conditions.
What we can say — again, for those with a small fortune burning a hole in their pockets — is that if the 488 GTB felt a little tame — hell, some might say antiseptic — in the way it charged about breaking speed limits, Ferrari has now let the dogs out. Indeed, the highest compliment I can pay the Pista is that it felt a lot like the much-missed 458.
On steroids, of course.

Voice-activated assistants are playing an increasingly prominent role in the technology world, with Apple's introduction of Siri for the iPhone 4S and Google's (rumored) work on a Siri competitor for Android phones.
Voice-activated technology isn't new—it's just getting better because of increasingly powerful processors and cloud services, advancements in natural language processing, and improved algorithms for recognizing voice. We spoke with Nuance Communications, maker of Dragon software and one of the biggest names in voice recognition technologies, about why voice is becoming more popular and what advancements we can expect in the future.
Peter Mahoney, Nuance chief marketing officer and general manager of the Dragon desktop business, told Ars one of the most significant improvements coming in the next few years is a far more conversational voice-activated assistant that remembers everything you say. This should create better responses to casual questions.
"I think you'll see systems that are more conversational, that have the ability to ask more sophisticated followup questions and adapt to the individual," Mahoney said. "They'll be able to remember what you're talking about. Talking to one of these assistants today is like dealing with someone with no short-term memory. They don't remember what you just said. These systems over time are going to get better and better short-term and long-term memory."
How about Thai?
As an example, Mahoney said if you ask Nuance's Dragon Go! app for iPhone to make a reservation in an Italian restaurant tomorrow night at 8pm for four people but don't like the results, you basically have to start over. "You'd like to be able to say 'how about Thai?' instead of trying to repeat the same thing over again, or 'how about next Thursday?' You should be able to follow up and the system should be able to remember your conversation. They don't do that that well today."
Siri is taking steps toward providing a natural, conversation-like experience with voice-activated assistants, as Jacqui Cheng noted in the Ars iPhone 4S review. "When given direct and clear tasks, Siri performs well, and it's nice not having to memorize a strict list of commands," Cheng wrote. "The best part about Siri is the fact that you can (or should be able to, anyway) speak to it like you would speak to a person without having to conform to a special speaking syntax—the number one turn-off for 'regular' people using voice control features."
Siri's limits
Still, the Ars review noted some shortcomings. Siri often misinterpreted casually spoken commands, making it easier in many cases to perform the tasks manually.
The limits of Siri's conversational abilities may be seen in a video by Macworld's Jason Snell. Like the example Mahoney gave, Snell asked Siri "where can I have lunch?" After receiving the results, including 12 nearby restaurants, Snell asked "how about downtown?" Siri's response: "I don't know what you mean by 'how about downtown?'"
Snell said the same request worked on a previous attempt. "Sometimes the Siri software figures out what you mean and its kind of like magic. Other times it doesn't really work that well," he said. "I think that's one of the reasons Apple called this a beta."
The maker of Dragon has many products for desktops and mobile phones, as well as industry-specific software for in-car navigation systems, health care settings, and more. There have been rumors that Nuance technology even powers Apple's Siri on the back end. Nuance told us it can't comment on "specific capabilities or devices." However, the company did confirm that "Apple licenses Nuance's voice technology for use in some of its products."
Headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, Nuance has more than 1,000 engineers around the world. Research and development is divided into several categories, Mahoney explained. There's acoustic modeling, for processing audio and mapping it to sounds and words. Language modeling experts, including linguists, help build systems capable of understanding the structure of language and grammar. Natural language processing experts help extract meaningful information from the data gathered by Nuance services.
Nuance's simplest products are available in more than 70 languages. But the more complex desktop applications, such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking for PC, only support about a half-dozen.
"For each of the languages you need a good understanding of what puts the language together, how it's built and how the sounds translate into words," Mahoney said.
Apple's embrace of voice with Siri has increased consumer interest in the technology. "Apple's so strong with user experience that when they embrace voice as a core differentiator, that says to a lot of people it might be good enough, because Apple wouldn't do it if it's not great," Mahoney said.
Siri and Nuance's Dragon Go! for iPhone and Android aren't that different in the technology they use on the back end. They are different implementations, Mahoney said. "What the Siri application does is it tries to interpret what you're asking for and brings you through a very structured set of potential results Apple can deliver to you," he said. "It's very neatly controlled. It tends to be a great experience."
Dragon Go! connects users to results from more than 200 Web properties covering the most likely searches to provide information on restaurants, music and entertainment, local businesses, and other topics. For restaurant queries, Dragon takes users to Yelp for reviews and OpenTable to make reservations.
Machine learning will make voice-activated assistants smarter
Nuance has built up its user experience with various iterations over the years, but it's still a manual process. "Most of the systems require a human to define the different categories of information you're going to support," Mahoney said. "Some person has to decide what are the kinds of things people will ask You can fool any one of these systems if you work hard enough because they can't answer every single kind of question."
Over the next few years, we'll see voice recognition technologies learn from their users and improve themselves without manual intervention, Mahoney said. "As more machine learning capability gets implemented and more of these systems sort of build themselves, you'll see better and better coverage. The systems will learn from use about what kinds of things they need to cover, and they'll get smarter over time."

The great American holiday of Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. It is a time traditionally when families gather together to share a feast, give thanks for their bounty, and watch football. It is also one of the few times of the year that multiple generations of a family assemble under one roof. It is thus a great time for sharing family stories, looking at photographs, and remembering the past.
This year, why not participate in the Great Thanksgiving Listen, taking place from November 26 to November 29? The sponsor of this event is StoryCorps, a nationally-known oral history project whose mission is to capture the stories of thousands of people across our country. You may have heard excerpts of StoryCorps sessions on National Public Radio. They have made it easy by providing an app that is easily downloaded to a cell phone. This is a convenient way to record the stories of family members and preserve them forever.
Everyone has a story tell, whether it is a family tradition, a childhood memory, a military service experience, or a recollection about a particular place or event. What is the earliest memory that you can recall? Where were you when you heard about President Kennedy's assassination? Did you watch the Apollo 11 moon landing on television in 1969? Where were you on 9/11? What stories have you heard about your family's history?
Let's pause a moment from our feasting this week and take time to remember and record. You'll be glad you did.

As you visit The Genealogy Center in the coming weeks, you may notice a bit of unusual activity, especially in the Microtext Reading Room. When we reopened our expanded and renovated building in 2007, we had a large space devoted to using our extensive microtext collection—a collection that included census and military records, newspapers, city directories, and documents from many states and countries. However, digital copies of these important documents continue to grow exponentially in use. Microtext usage, on the other hand, continues to diminish greatly.
What has grown in the last decade is our dedication to expand service to include more classes and consultations, as well as meeting our customers' desires to collaborate with us and one another. In response, we are repurposing more than half of the former Microtext Reading Room into our new Discovery Center, a space for presentations, panel discussions, group activities, pop-up demonstrations, collaborative dialog, and one-on-one consultations.
We also have become increasingly aware that in this digital age, people's stories are slipping away. Email and texting have replaced written correspondence between friends and family members so much so that information that had been preserved in the past on paper is now being lost. Headliners and other "big" stories get preserved in other forms, but the day-to-day lives of firemen, teachers, industrial workers, veterans, emigrants, attorneys and the histories of communities, churches, businesses and ethnic groups get lost in the shuffle. To preserve and present these every-day stories, we are repurposing our former Orientation Area into a Life Stories Center. We want to better facilitate the preservation of everyone's experiences, memories, and life stories.
While all of this activity is occurring, we hope that you will tolerate the small inconveniences caused by a limited amount of noise and some dust. We are looking forward to the great possibilities that our new spaces will bring. Thank you for your understanding.

Abreu eager to return to baseball with Phillies
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Bobby Abreu is back because he said he still loves to play baseball, and because he thinks he can help the Phillies win.
The Phillies signed him in the offseason to a Minor League contract, which is worth $800,000 if he makes the big league roster. He is a strong candidate to make the roster as the Phillies need a left-handed bat off the bench.
Abreu, who turns 40 next month, played for the Phillies from 1998-2006.
"I know I'm not the same when I was 25, 26, but I'm still fine," he said. "I can still hit. I can still steal bases, run the bases pretty good."
Abreu did not play in the big leagues last season, so this is a comeback attempt. Asked why he would want to come back as a reserve outfielder after spending most of his career as an everyday player, he said, "I want to keep playing the game. I want to be a part of a team. Also, to come off the bench -- we've talked about that. It's not a problem for me. I just love to play the game. I know i can still play. To have this opportunity right now, it's fun."

Meningitis outbreak may affect more than 23 states
The Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention (CDC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced today they are advising medical professionals not to use any products manufactured by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., due to an outbreak of fungal meningitis tied to some medications made by the company.
Three lots of the company's preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate that go back to July 2012 have been recalled and are believed to be the cause of the recent outbreak. Thirty-five cases of fungal meningtitis in six states have been identified, with five deaths. The majority of the cases, 25 in total, have been discovered in Tennessee.
"Given the severity of illness, we believe these precautionary measures are warranted to protect public health," Ilisa Bernstein, director of the FDA office of compliance, said to reporters during a conference call today.
Dr. Benjamin Park, medical epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told reporters that 23 states may have received shipments of the tainted product. These states include: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Texas and West Virginia. A total of 75 facilities may have received product from one of these three recalled lots.
However, because the New England Compounding Center is licensed in all 50 states, there is a possibility contaminated products may be in other areas, Bernstein said.
"We don't know the scope of this," she admitted.
The initial three-lot recall by the New England Compounding Center involved 17,676 vials, the CBS News Investigative Team reported. There were two complaints filed against the company -- one in 2002, one in 2003 -- that were investigated and as a result the company entered into an agreement in 2006 with the Massachusetts Department of Health to correct any deficiencies. That same year, the FDA warned the company against compounding topical anesthetic creams for general distribution.
In March 2012, a complaint unrelated to the meningitis case was filed against the company regarding the potency of its eye medication. That complaint is still open and pending, according to the investigative team.
Fungal meningitis is a non-contagious form of the disease. It is often caused by fungus normally found in leaf mold. Authorities said some people were experiencing mild stroke-like symptoms, including slurred speech, and difficulty walking and urinating. Other fungal meningitis symptoms include worsening and severe headache, nausea, dizziness and fever.
It can be treated with high-dose antifungal medications, usually given intravenously in a hospital. The earlier the disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the chances of survival are.
"We think that early antifungal treatment can improve the outcome of these patients," Park said.
Park said that the CDC was notified of a patient with an onset of meningitis 19 days after receiving an epidural steroid injection on Sept. 21 in Tennessee. Although all initial cultures were negative, fungus was isolated from the patient's cerebral spinal fluid. On Sep. 28, the CDC was notified of cases outside of Tennessee.
In total, one case in North Carolina, two cases in Florida, four cases in Virginia, two cases in Maryland and one case in Indiana have been discovered in addition to the 25 cases in Tennessee. Three people have died in Tennessee, as well as one person from Virginia and one person from Maryland.
The victims tend to be elderly because of the nature of patients who receive spinal epidural injections because of lower back pain. Overall, many of the patients were somewhat healthy until infection.
On Oct. 1, the New England Compounding Center voluntarily shut down their manufacturing center. During a FDA investigation of the plant, the investigators discovered contaminants in an unopened vial.
"Materials from an unopened vials was looked at under the microscope at an FDA lab and what was looked at under the microscope looked like a fungal matter," an FDA spokesperson confirmed.
The FDA added that they are working with the firm to get more information about their products. The investigation is ongoing.

Since the chibi version of One Direction did so well, I decided that I would make chibi tutorial based on another boy band that made their fame through television. Here is "how to draw chibi Big Time Rush", step by step. I know all you fan girls and boys out there will love this lesson because the members of the band are all so cute and real simple to recreate. Big Time Rush is another band that has everyone going crazy. I think they first appeared on Nickelodeon with the series of the same. The show follows four older teens that are former hockey players from Minnesota. The boys names are Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan. They are approached to form an all boy band, and that was the plot for the very first episode of Big Time Rush. I had a lot of fun drawing these pop culture icons into their new form. I hope you all enjoy this tut the same way you enjoyed the One Direction chibi. Peace out folks, and have fun!

Rochester's Inner Loop is an idea whose time never came. Now it appears that the city will finally get a chance to fix part of this costly miscalculation.
Last Friday, Rep. Louise Slaughter and Mayor Thomas Richards announced that a long-sought $17.7 million federal grant has been secured, giving a green light to plans to reconstruct a 2/3-mile section of the sunken expressway on the east side, from west of Monroe Avenue almost to East Main Street. In its place will be a street-level boulevard and some nine acres of land ready for mixed-use development.
This proposal, which has been discussed and studied for years, has broad support in the community. In an RBJ Daily Report Snap Poll conducted in December 2011, for example, two-thirds of respondents backed the plan.
Among those who oppose redevelopment, some seem to think the Inner Loop's time may yet arrive. How likely is that, however, if this expressway was built for a city that had 330,000 residents in the early 1960s but today has barely 210,000?
Others argue that filling in the Inner Loop East would be expensive. The total project cost of roughly $25 million is not pocket change, but leaving an aging expressway and several structurally deficient bridges in place has a price too.
Still, the real cost of maintaining this stretch of the overbuilt, underused Inner Loop would be lost opportunity. It occupies some of the most valuable real estate in the city, separating the East End from vibrant east side neighborhoods like Park Avenue, the Neighborhood of the Arts and the South Wedge. Removing this barrier would restore a connection and allow new retail, commercial and residential development, plus additional green space.
It also would bring a substantial improvement in quality of life. The Inner Loop is a gash in the urban landscape that discourages walkers and bikers; an at-grade boulevard would create a much more livable environment.
There are no sure things, of course. To achieve the potential city officials and others envision, with additional jobs and a growing tax base, will require substantial private investment. But common sense-plus a long list of supportive stakeholders-tells you this is a good bet.

Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was the first Floridian to receive the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel (later named the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction). She won the award in 1939 for her book The Yearling.
In 1928, Rawlings purchased an orange grove in Alachua County near Hawthorne, FL. Located between Lochloosa Lake and Orange Lake, the site was called Cross Creek. The surrounding area served as a setting, provided the characters, and influenced the stories of most of her novels and short stories. Themes of rural Florida, the Big Scrub area, and Florida Cracker culture are prevalent in her works.
The plots of her novels revolved around her observations in this area: farming, hunting, the interaction with the environment and its inhabitants, moonshining, and poverty. Rawling's depictions were so direct from her experience, people she met were named in her novels and descriptions were recognized by the locals resulting in threats and at least one law suit for invasion of privacy.
Her works garnered several awards including an O. Henry Award in 1932 (for "Gal Young Un") and the Newbery Honor in 1956 (for The Secret River). Several of her works have been adapted for stage and screen. The story rights to The Yearling were purchased by MGM and an Academy Award winning film adaptation was released in 1946, increasing her fame.
Rawlings' Cross Creek home, where she once hosted Zora Neale Hurston, is now preserved as the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Historic State Park and has been designated a National Historic Landmark.

The battle for a free press sometimes feels like a war between indignation and intimidation. Journalists learn of abuses of power, crime, or corruption, and--indignant--they speak out. In response, the perpetrators of those abuses--be they government officials or criminals--try to intimidate the journalists into silence with threats, lawsuits, jail, or even murder. Last night, the Committee to Protect Journalists paid tribute to a handful of journalists for whom indignation is a driving force, no matter the scale of intimidation.
"Indignation is what best defines the motivation of those who do this kind of journalism," Mauri König told a crowd of nearly 900 in New York's Waldorf-Astoria grand ballroom as he accepted one of CPJ's International Press Freedom Awards. König is an investigative reporter who has exposed human rights abuses and corruption in his native Brazil, including sex trafficking and kidnapping of Brazilian children for military service in Paraguay. While researching the latter in 2000, König was captured by suspected Paraguayan policemen and severely beaten, strangled, and left for dead. He has been threatened with death several times since, but, he said, "My indignation is greater than my fear."
Another of CPJ's award winners, Mae Azango of Liberia, practically exudes indignation. This is directed at former warlords in her once-war-ravaged country; at corrupt and brutal police; and at complacent government officials. But Azango reserves special indignation for the secret societies in Liberia who practice female genital cutting. Reporting on this practice--a taboo subject in Liberia--led to death threats against Azango this spring and forced her to take her nine-year-old daughter into hiding. "As a woman I knew that many women who went through this ritual of cutting as a child are still bitter and resentful," Azango told those gathered to help raise funds for CPJ. "In Liberia, we have one of the highest rates of maternal death in the world and cutting is a big factor in that. ... I knew if we started to talk about it and they knew the truth, many parents would choose a different path."
Liberia's government, long silent concerning the practice of female cutting, was also initially silent when Azango was threatened, but an international outcry soon forced it to respond. Officials not only spoke up to guarantee her safety, but also to take a stand against female cutting. Azango continues to report on the practice, and to look for other ways to help ordinary people voice their indignation. "We have learned the importance of independent, truthful media the hard way," she said. "We do not take it for granted. We understand that information is essential if we are to hold our leaders accountable and make smart decisions about our country."
Holding officials accountable and helping ordinary people voice their indignation--two of CPJ's award winners were absent last night because their determination to achieve those goals has landed them in prison. Award winner Azimjon Askarov is a journalist and human rights defender whose reporting on police torture and politicized criminal prosecutions in his native Kyrgyzstan led to demotions of local officials. In retribution, Askarov was slapped with a series of fabricated charges, including incitement to ethnic hatred, illegal possession of ammunition, attempting to take a hostage, and complicity in a police officer's murder. He was beaten in custody, and sentenced to life in jail. Kyrgyzstan's own human rights ombudsman has criticized his prosecution and conviction.
Giving voice to ordinary people was an unexpected calling for Tibetan Dhondup Wangchen, a self-taught documentary filmmaker whose account of Tibetan views of the 2008 Olympics in China begins, "I am not an educated man. ... However, I would like to say a few things." He goes on to interview ordinary Tibetans about their grievances with Chinese rule; many of them are indignant indeed. The film was smuggled out of Tibet, and Wangchen soon disappeared into the Chinese detention system. Today he is serving a six-year sentence for "inciting separatism."
For these two, intimidation may appear to have triumphed, at least briefly. But Askarov will not be silent. In a letter to CPJ to thank the organization for his award, Askarov renewed his promise "that no person and no circumstance would ever force me to abandon my professional duty," and asked the international community "to hold the Kyrgyz government to the international commitments and obligations it has undertaken." Wangchen's voice is more difficult to hear; his own family gets word of him only when his sister visits the Xichuan Prison in Qinghai province, western China, where he is being held, and where he has contracted Hepatitis B. Yet his extraordinary wife, Lhamo Tso--a bread maker with little formal education--saw to it that his film was published, and now travels the world to advocate for his release. She was on hand last night to acknowledge his award. Her indignation is quiet but palpable.
If the imprisonment of Askarov and Wangchen makes you indignant--and it should--please sign CPJ's two petitions calling for their release, which are here and here.
CPJ rounded out last night by honoring indignation in a seemingly unlikely quarter: Alan Rusbridger, editor of the U.K.'s Guardian and recipient of CPJ's Burton Benjamin Memorial Award for lifetime commitment to press freedom. In his acceptance speech, Rusbridger was a picture of humility, crediting his reporters, colleagues, and supporters, including the independent trust that supports the Guardian, and saying he felt "unworthy" to share the stage with the other awardees. But Slate's Jacob Weisberg, introducing Rusbridger, told a story of the editor's "steely nerve" in supporting investigative journalism despite pressure to back down from corporate giants, libel lawyers, the U.K. parliament, and the commissioner of the Metropolitan police.
"At this point, it would be wise to conclude that intimidation does not work on him," Weisberg said. "Whenever anyone attempts to bully him, he fights twice as hard."
UPDATE: The second paragraph of this post and the photo caption have been changed to correct the spelling of Mauri König's name.
