In a political environment in which fracking has become the new F-word to some, the company that wants to drill for oil and gas in Loveland took members of the media to see the process up close Monday.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. and the advocacy group Coloradans for Responsible Energy Development sponsored a media tour to three energy-production sites in Weld County.
At each location — drilling, fracking and production — Anadarko officials talked about the efforts the company is making to protect the environment and reduce the impact of the industrial processes on neighbors.
The drilling site southeast of Dacono in southern Weld County showed how Anadarko drills more than one well on a pad before taking apart the equipment and moving to a new spot.
"We try to drill as many wells in one location as possible to minimize the area of disturbance," said Moe Felman, who runs the company's drilling operation in the Wattenberg Field, the 2,000-square-mile area that stretches roughly from Greeley to the north-metro area.
At the site, the company is drilling three wells about 30 feet apart. After one well is complete, the huge rig is skidded on metal tracks to the next hole.
Skidding takes two to three hours; disassembling and reassembling the rig would take two to three days, Felman said.
The multistep drilling process starts out with a smaller rig that drills down past any fresh-water aquifers and allows crews to double-line the hole to protect the water supply.
Then the actual drilling takes place, using a mud-like liquid that is pumped into the hole to turn the drill bit and pipe. As the drill cuts through layers of rock thousands of feet straight down and more thousands of feet horizontally, the mud and drill "cuttings" are returned to the surface and captured.
The cuttings of rock — finer than beach sand — are tested for the presence of petroleum products. Most of the cuttings have a low enough level that they can be spread on farm fields, according to Ed Asuchak, Anadarko drilling supervisor.
The rest of the material is taken to a licensed landfill for disposal, he said.
The drilling mud is trucked from site to site and reused many times, Felman said.
At a fracking site a few miles southeast of the drill site, Anadarko showed off its "stim center" concept that centralizes the fracking — or hydraulic fracture stimulation — process.
The fracking process, which has become the center of debate and the target of numerous bans in Colorado, involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into deep rock formations at high pressure.
The pressure of the fluid breaks open 1-millimeter-wide cracks in the dense rock, allowing gas and oil to flow out into the bore hole.
Fracking proponents say the process has been used in Colorado for 60 years to free oil and gas from dense rock that wouldn't give up its petroleum any other way. The difference in recent years is the game-changing technology that allows horizontal drilling through rock formations as much as 2 miles away from the vertical hole
Anadarko has been using the stim center since last September, according to Mike Eberhard, completions manager for Anadarko's Rockies region.
The center pumps fracking fluid to wells as far as 2,900 feet away through high-pressure pipes. When the company is finished, it will have fracked 11 wells but built only one fracking operation.
Eberhard said the company spent a year planning the center.
"It was a lot of time and effort trying to do it the most responsible way possible," he said.
He touted the use of water piped to the site, rather than trucked in, as a way the company reduces the impact of its operation on the area. Also, the stim center uses natural gas produced on-site to replace more than 50 percent of previous diesel usage, again reducing truck trips and cutting down on emissions.
The final stop on the tour showed a producing field, with most of the equipment removed and nine completed wells bringing oil and gas products up from the ground and into a series of pipes, which take the products off the site.
The site, at the corner of a farm field, had been mostly reclaimed, with crops replanted up to the reduced pad footprint.

Lance Vance (? - 1986) is a cocaine dealer who soon becomes the partner-in-crime of protagonist Tommy Vercetti in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Lance worked in the cocaine trade with his brother, Victor (the protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories). Lance piloted the helicopter and Victor conducted the deals themselves. In GTA Vice City Stories, the two make up the main members of the Vance Crime Family, with Victor as the boss.
Lance T. Vance was born sometime between 1956-1958 to a white mother (Janet Vance) and an unnamed father who immigrated from the Dominican Republic. He and his two brothers, Victor and Pete, grew up in poverty. Because their mother had a drug addiction, they were raised by their Aunt Enid who, especially Lance, sees as their sole maternal figure. Lance was often teased about his name in school, which he is still very sensitive about (when he works with Ricardo Diaz, an extremely powerful, important drug lord, he lies and says his name is Quentin). According to Vic, he was also kicked out of the Boy Scouts in his youth. Vic always treated Lance like a little kid and Lance would get them both in trouble, patterns that continued well into their adult lives.
GTA Vice City Stories
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, set 2 years before events in GTA Vice City, Lance is first mentioned by Vic (telling his sergeant that Pete is sick with asthma, and Lance is sick in a psychological way), as well as messages from their Aunt Enid.
Lance arrives from his home (which is not stated) and slowly ushers Vic into drug trafficking. They work with Bryan Forbes, before he reveals he's an undercover cop with VCPD and the brothers take him hostage. Forbes often attempted escape and tried to trick the brothers, even leading them to a gay bar called White Stallionz (ironically, all the homosexual men in the bar were dually part of a violent biker drug ring and attacked the brothers).
Lance then suggests stealing a large shipment of drugs from Jerry Martinez. After Vic calls Jerry to mock him, Jerry reveals that he was allied with the Mendez Brothers, two powerful drug lords who were now out for the Vance's blood.
Lance also becomes addicted to his own cocaine, as does Vic's girlfriend Louise Cassidy-Williams who both hide their habit from Vic. Lance often blamed the missing drugs on their addict mother or a biker gang. Vic finds out and first accuses them of an affair, which they respond that they only get high as friends and call him judgmental (a criticism Vic often receives).
When Louise is kidnapped and eventually killed by the Mendez brothers (who they briefly made peace with before a second war), Lance shows little feelings for her and tries to console Vic by saying family is more important (namely, himself). He only becomes involved with the Mendez war after his car gets destroyed. At the end of the game, Lance arrives at the Mendez penthouse to back up Victor, but he arrives so late that the shootout is already over.
GTA Vice City
In GTA Vice City's opening cutscene, Lance flies Victor to a cocaine deal with Sonny Forelli's men when Victor is shot by a third party ambushing the deal. Lance, still in the helicopter, flies away unscathed.
Lance meets Tommy Vercetti, the surviving Forelli mobster from the deal, when he kills Leo Teal (a cook/hitman who knew something about the deal, silenced when Tommy beat him to death). They agree to help each other get revenge, though Tommy is slow to accept Lance, which he calls "lonely tough guy crap".
While and after the two of them overthrew Ricardo Diaz, their boss who also betrayed them in the first place, Lance becomes irritated by Tommy's attitude and dominance in the gang. Eventually, Lance betrays Tommy to his old boss, Sonny Forelli, before Tommy kills them both.
Lance on the surface appears cool and collected, but he is very impulsive, and his quest for vengeance against Ricardo Diaz lands Tommy in a great deal of trouble.
- In a PC World article, Lance was voted as #17 of the top 47 "most diabolical videogame villains of all time."
- Lance Vance owns a white Infernus.
- There is an age discrepancy between Victor and Lance Vance on who is older. In GTA Vice City, it is been stated that Lance is the older, being 32 years old as of 1986. However, in GTA Vice City Stories, Victor is portrayed as the older one, being 28 as of 1984 and 30 in 1986, and explicitly stating Lance is the younger one. The two brothers are two years apart in age. As a result, Lance would be 26 in GTA Vice City Stories and 28 in GTA Vice City. It is possible GTA Vice City Stories retconned the discrepancy, so that Victor is the older sibling.
- Lance Vance is voiced by Philip Michael Thomas, the co-star of Miami Vice.
- He can be seen as an action figure at Zero RC along with Tommy, James Earl Cash, and Piggsy from Manhunt.
- During the final cutscene of Last Stand in Vice City Stories, he is seen flying a unique Black and Yellow striped Maverick.
- A Lance Vance look-alike appears in GTA San Andreas on bilboard in Los Santos.
- Lance claims his middle initial (T) stands for trust, but this could also be a reference to traitor, as he betrays Tommy Vercetti in GTA VC.

ICD-10 delay: What does this mean for optometry?
Ask the Coding Experts, by Doug Morrow, O.D., Harvey Richman, O.D., and Rebecca Wartman, O.D.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) had repeatedly stated that ICD-10 implementation would occur on October 1, 2014—no ifs, ands or buts—then Congress stepped in.
This unexpected delay will give us all more breathing room, but only if we take advantage of the extra time.
Congress was supposed to get a permanent fix in place for the roller coaster ride we take all too often regarding Medicare fees. The last fix in late 2013 was supposed to give them enough time to replace the current sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula used to calculate fees. The SGR is not working at all, and would require ODs to take a 24 percent or more reduction in fees. The U.S. House and Senate could not agree and put the permanent fix on hold yet again.
Also in the bill—Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014—was a little surprise for all providers. Congress included a one-year delay in the implementation of ICD-10. This one-year delay follows the previous one-year delay in implementation by CMS that occurred early in 2013. While many are quite happy with the delay, others in the health care industry are not so happy because, per CMS, the estimated cost of another year delay in implementing ICD-10 is between $1 billion and $6.6 billion.
What should optometrists do during the delay? Many ODs had begun to gear up for the transition to ICD-10 scheduled for October 1, 2014. The AOA Third Party Center (TPC) strongly advises ODs to continue this preparation.
This unexpected delay will give us all more breathing room, but only if we take advantage of the extra time. Follow these tips to help you understand and prepare for the new system:
- Listen to, and participate in, the TPC webinars on ICD-10 to learn and really understand how to use this new coding system.
- Read as much as possible and attend in-person lectures, such as those offered at Optometry's Meeting® in June in Philadelphia.
- Review your office procedures to determine where ICD-9 codes are currently used.Begin to convert your typical ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes. Each week, also sample a few encounters that were different or unusual. Convert those codes as well.Practice with the new system will be time very well spent.
- Use the tools from the TPC: The TPC will continue to host new webinars on ICD-10 coding conversion throughout the year. All webinars are recorded and available for you to review on AOA EyeLearnTM. Register now for the next one, on glaucoma and optic pathways, being held Friday, May 23, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. The AOA Coding Today webpage has a link on ICD-10 which will be refined over the next year. This tool is an excellent resource.
Finally, while the World Health Organization has some good introductory information to orient providers to this new approach, remember that the U.S. version of ICD-10 is not the same as the international version. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responsible for the U.S. version of ICD-10 and is your go-to resource.

Apple's mobile devices -- such as the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch -- sold more than Windows PCs in the fourth quarter of 2013, according to a new report.
The report from research firm Gartner reiterated Apple's mobile device sales, and while still only a minute part of desktops and laptops, Apple dominates in mobile, according to Quartz. The publication calls it the computers "on which people actually get things done," which sounds a bit presumptuous -- as if playing games or watching HBO Go is shaking up the world.
"This is a pretty good illustration of the scale of mobile: Apple limits itself only to the high end of the mobile market but still sells more units than the whole PC industry," wrote Andreessen Horowitz mobile analyst Benedict Evans on his blog.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Quartz asks the reader a question of "Well, so what?" which we were thinking, too. Essentially, this is another piece speculating about the demise of desktops and how people are doing most of their work or play on mobile devices. Perhaps soon the desktop will be only a corporate relic, unless a new lifestyle shift come along.

"This game will be a war." — Chris Creighton
Anybody who thought Wittenberg University's 0-3 start might mean the Tigers were off a bit in 2005 was dead wrong. Coach Joe Fincham again has Wittenberg flying high and contending for the North Coast Athletic Conference championship, which pollsters predicted prior to the start of the season.
Since beginning the year with losses to nationally ranked Capital and Alma, and a loss at Division I, non-scholarship Dayton, Wittenberg has been tooling right along with whopping victories over NCAC rivals Denison (31-6), Earlham (48-0), and Hiram (66-0). Defensively, Wittenberg has not only held its last three opponents to just six points, but it has been dominant in doing so. Against Hiram last week, the Tigers chewed up the Terriers, holding the guests to puppy dog-like numbers: 44 yards passing, minus-45 yards rushing, for a net total of minus-one yard of total offense. Two of Hiram's three first downs in the game came via Wittenberg penalties. The Tigers haven't allowed a point in 174 minutes or the last 11 quarters.
So Saturday's game between Wabash (6-0; 4-0) and Wittenberg (3-3; 3-0) features the league's best two defenses against the league's best all-around offenses. To say that this is the game of the year in the NCAC is an understatement; this one is for all the marbles: a league championship and playoff berth are likely to be the spoils for the victor.
Wittenberg comes in at full strength offensively with the return of senior quarterback Ryan Holmes, whose 11-for-18, 137-yard, three-touchdown passing performance in part-time duty last week suggests he's fully recovered from a broken collarbone. Because the game was a blowout, Coach Fincham ran the ball 62 times for 311 yards and four scores. All-NCAC back Tristan Murray rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns, while catching another touchdown pass. For the year, the 5-10, 205-pound senior has rushed for 763 yards and 11 TDs.
Wittenberg also features speedster Jered Glover at wide receiver, who is backed by Braden Freeman and Mark Harriman. Tight end Nate Cherry will be the best at his position Wabash has seen this year. None of the receivers boasts eye-popping statistics, primarily because of Holmes' injury and the fact that Wittenberg averages 211 rushing yards per game. Glover, though, is also a dangerous return man for both punt and kickoff returns, and is one of the fastest sprinters in Division III.
By averaging 32.5 points per game offensively, the offense has overshadowed Wittenberg's defense this year. But the defense, after a couple of tough outings at the start of the year, has been stifling.
Safety Mitch Fonseca has been a beast with 50 tackles and three interceptions this year. Linebackers Tyler Harmon and Walter Bonham have 29 and 26 tackles, respectively, and both have made big plays behind the line of scrimmage. The team's most effective run stopper has been Matt Stechschulte, a 6-4, 235-pound lineman who has 28 tackles, two sacks, and 6.5 tackles for loss. Hiram's longest run from scrimmage last week was seven yards, and no Hiram back finished with positive rushing yardage.
"They've got one of the best, if not the best, quarterbacks in the conference," says Wabash Coach Chris Creighton. "They have one of the best, if not the best, receivers in the conference. They've got, hands down, the best running back in the conference. Their offensive line is always good. Their defense gets after you and does so many things very well. They were out of synch due to their schedule and injuries at the beginning of the year, but now it's all coming together for them."
Which brings us to the showdown Saturday. Wittenberg hasn't faced an NCAC team with the speed and balance that Creighton's team boasts. The Little Giants come into the game as the only undefeated team in the conference and riding the confidence of a 44-10 win at Wooster last weekend. In that game, Russ Harbaugh was named to the D3football.com National Team of the Week after throwing for 452 yards and four touchdowns, both career-highs. Eight different receivers caught passes in the game, led by Eric Summers with seven for 151 yards and a touchdown. Chris Ogden added 107 yards rushing to the offense, which generated a season-best 654 yards on the Scots' homecoming.
Wabash's receiving corps has been driving defensive coordinators nuts all season. Five players have more than 17 catches on the season and five average more than 13 yards per catch. Say that you want to take away Geoff Walker (26 catches, 436 yards, 3 touchdowns) and you still have to contend with Kyle Piazza (26-250-1). If you double team Summers (25-380-3), Mike Russell (21-373-5) might beat you. Tack on Ray Green, whose 18.3 yards-per-catch average is best on the team, and tight ends Graham Nelson (4 TDs) and Tim Schirack, and Wabash boasts perhaps its best corps in history.
But this game will likely come down to defense. Wabash has given up only one first-half touchdown all year and has held teams to an average of 6.5 points per game. The team holds opponents to just 1.7 yards per rush, which will be tested mightily by Murray this week. Murray has scored 11 rushing touchdowns this year; Wabash has allowed only three through six games. Something's got to give!
Wabash's defense will be as close to full strength this week as it has been all year. Nagging injuries linger, but Billy King (hand), Aaron Selby (foot), Tim Parker (groin), and Adrian Pynenberg (knee) will all start. Pynenberg intercepted his third pass of the season at Wooster, and leads the team with 42 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and six sacks. Josh Foster is second with 30 tackles, while Jared Lange leads all down linemen with 28 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks.
"This game will be a war," said Creighton. "It will be hard fought and physical. We'll spread it out and so will they, so it won't be a smash-mouth type of game. It will be good, solid, technical football. They will be at their absolute very best, and we should be at our absolute very best. It will not be an easy game for either team."
The defensive key to today's game may be the same for both teams: get pressure on the quarterback and contain the running backs. Offensively, both teams want to control the clock, make some big plays, and wear down the opposition. Sounds like a war is about to break out!

Reprobing of an existing membrane is a convenient means to immunoblot for multiple proteins independently when only a limited amount of sample is available. It should be noted that for the best possible results a fresh blot is always recommended. Reprobing can be a valuable method but with each reprobing of a blot there is potential for increased background signal. Additionally, it is recommended that you verify the removal of the first antibody complex prior to reprobing so that signal attributed to binding of the new antibody is not leftover signal from the first immunoblotting experiment. This can be done by re-exposing the blot to ECL reagents and making sure there is no signal prior to adding the next primary antibody.
NOTE: Prepare solutions with reverse osmosis deionized (RODI) or equivalently purified water.

Protocol Id: 10
Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) Antibody detects endogenous levels of 4E-BP1 only when phosphorylated at Thr37 and/or Thr46. This antibody may cross-react with 4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3 when phosphorylated at equivalent sites.Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr37 of mouse 4E-BP1 and Thr46 of mouse 4E-BP1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this interaction and results in activation of cap-dependent translation (1). Both the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 activity (2,3). Multiple 4E-BP1 residues are phosphorylated in vivo (4). While phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR at Thr37 and Thr46 does not prevent the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E, it is thought to prime 4E-BP1 for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser65 and Thr70 (5).

…tends to display itself in two ways, and I think it's best you know about them sooner rather than later.
First, if people talk about something they think is edgy and important, and go out of their way to say that they're totally ok with it and that everyone else should be totally ok with it and can you believe some people think this is edgy I can't believe some people might be bothered by this and OMG I'm so fine with it… My perverse nature kicks in and I start imagining that they're only pretending they're ok with it, even if I know they aren't pretending. I can't help it. Oft quoted (and oft misquoted) lines from Shakespeare start creeping into my head, and it's usually all I can do to keep myself from saying outloud, "The lady (or gentleman) doth protest too much, methinks." Which usually gets completely misunderstood and then people start trying harder to convince me that I should be ok with it, or go silent as they wonder which side of the debate I'm on, anyway, and isn't that backwards from the way Shakespeare wrote it? Is she just mixed up or did she mis-learn it?… And I silently beat my perverse nature's head against a perverse wall and vow to keep my mouth shut the next time, which never seems to work.
The other most common way for that ugly and much-beaten-against-walls head to rear itself is when I'm sitting in a room with another person who's reading, and that person giggles and says, "Oh, that's funny" or gasps and says "wow, that's interesting" and then continues reading without going on to explain what's funny or interesting. All of a sudden, the last thing I want to do is ask what's funny or interesting even though that's exactly what the other person wants and expects me to do. Now, I really do want to know what's funny or interesting. That's not the issue. The issue is that they shouldn't force me to ask. So depending on whether or not I think the other person should know about my perverse nature, I might force myself to ask through gritted teeth, "what's so funny?" But I won't want to.

Bill Gross and Carl Icahn got into a verbal boxing match about philanthropy last week. Their arena: Twitter.
Bloomberg News reported that PIMCO co-CIO Gross landed the first punch, telling billionaire investor Icahn to get off his Apple jeremiad and spend more time on philanthropy.
Icahn jabbed back, urging Gross to join him in the Gates-Buffett-inspired Giving Pledge, whereby ultrawealthy families promise to give away half their fortunes to charity.
Gross then appeared to get in the final jab, telling a CNBC interviewer that he and his wife had committed to giving away all their money before they die. He invoked 19th century steel magnate and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, who maintained that the wealthy were obligated to use their money to improve society.
The contretemps came just as Gross published his November investment outlook in which he excoriated 1% "scrooges" and called for "an equitable rebalancing of personal income taxes, capital gains and carried interest."
Icahn, who has a net worth of some $15 billion, was an early signatory to the Giving Pledge.
Gross, whose personal worth is estimated at $2 billion, has endowed a foundation with nearly $300 million and raised money for other charities by selling parts of his stamp collection, according to Bloomberg.
Benefactors of the William and Sue Gross Family Foundation include Columbia University, Doctors Without Borders and the Smithsonian's National Postal Museum, which is building a 12,000 square-foot stamp gallery in Gross' name.

Micro_MUTEK.ES Third Edition Reaches New Heights
Expanded 4-day format and new daytime conferences lead to 50% jump in attendance
February 28, 2012
After 4 days packed with performances and presentations by 30 artists from 12 different nationalities, MicroMUTEK.ES is pleased to announce that its 3rd edition reached new heights! With the addition of an extra day of events, an accompanying 50% rise in attendance as compared to the previous year, a notable increase in participation from local artists, and a first foray into workshops and advanced educational sessions, MUTEK.ES took a big leap this year in demonstrating its ever-growing value within Barcelona and Spain's vibrant cultural fabric.
MicroMutek.es - Barcelona 2012 [reporting by MetaCultura.info] from MetaCultura on Vimeo.
Headquartered at Bar 33/45, which took on a convivial atmosphere as festivalgoers, artists, and professionals became used to meeting up within its cozy confines at the start of each festival day, MicroMUTEK.ES explored a diversity of venues in downtown Barcelona, including Moog, Nitsa, Apolo, Music Hall, Miscelanea, and the Convent Sant Augustí. Within this panoply of locations, MUTEK.ES showcased the richness of Barcelona's and Spain's digital arts talent. Highlights include NIKKA, who alternated between exploring microscopic splashes of colour that were projected into the macro world via a microscope and creating a slow-building set of thick, powerful sound, as well as GUILLAMINO's infectious live band act. Nominated as Spain's best DJ in 2011 by Go-Mag, MARC PIÑOL kick-started the festival's weekend Nocturne program, PULSHAR closed a tight set on a thunderous dubstep note, while TELENOIKA, an A/V collective recently honoured with Barcelona's "Creativity and Innovation" prize that annually honours initiatives that contribute to the city's cultural development, captivated a sold-out room during an afternoon of presentations, performances, how-to tutorials, and lively discussion.
International highlights were diverse in sound this year. Finland's Sasu Ripatti surprised and delighted with his under-recognized, off-kilter house project LUOMO, UK's SHACKLETON drew the crowd into a tribal, trance-inducing sonic ritual, DEADBEAT's live rendition of his recent "Drawn & Quartered" album gathered an large early crowd and filled the Apolo with deep, spacey vibrations, while Germany's BRANDT BRAUER FRICK trio, the indefatigable SAN PROPER, and jazzy Canadians DANUEL TATE and EDDIE C all pulled the crowd into an irresistible dancing whirlwind. THEO PARRISH closed the festival on a high note with his unparalleled blend of jazz, soul, funk, house and everything in between.
MicroMUTEK.ES's daytime professional program reached new heights this year both in terms of a strong attendance and the depth and variety of content presented. Deadbeat presented the festival's first-ever Ableton Live workshop to an overflowing room, and all three artist Q&A series presented by the Red Bull Music Academy engaged a dedicated, repeat audience while also drawing some 500 listeners daily via the Struments radio livestream.
Despite the exhaustion that was slowly setting in by the final festival day on Saturday February 11th, festivalgoers flocked to the Convent de Sant Augustí to participate in the first edition of MicroMUTEK.ES's Experience program, an event conceived as a special showcase of local Catalan talent.
Offered free of charge to the public, the daytime event proved so popular that its (thankfully) modular room had to be expanded midway through the day to accommodate a crowd that saw people standing in every available nook and corner, even after more room was made. The event featured workshops by local producers ALBA G. CORRAL and ALEIX FERNANDEZ, an audiovisual mapping workshop/presentation by the above-mentioned Telenoika, and performances by audiovisual duos RAGUL + BLOWSHE and WHY + AV-K.
Above and beyond the incredible attendance and the unique, theatrical atmosphere of the Convent, the event was a sweeping success in terms of the diversity of topics and levels of difficulty explored – from basic principles to highly theoretical notions of sound an visual art – as well as for the type of audience present; festivalgoers that had been following the event since Wednesday's opening night mixed with local artists, students, and professionals, as well as families and young audiences. The convivial atmosphere of exchange, experience, and collective learning reinforced the general feeling of community that notably permeated the festival this year, and which is one of the MUTEK family's hallmarks around the world.
The festival organizers are extremely satisfied with the results of this 3rd edition, which consolidated the event's reputation as an incubator and international platform for local creativity. A heartfelt thank you is extended to all participating artists, partners and sponsors, festivalgoers, and especially to the team of dedicated volunteers that made the event possible.
Stay tuned as MUTEK.ES announces its next round of one-off Soirée MUTEK.ES events as well as new international collaborations. And see you at the 4th edition of MicroMUTEK.ES in February 2013!
MUTEK.ES would like to thank the following partners for supporting its 3rd edition: Red Bull, Ableton, Pat Comunicaciones, Resident Advisor, FACT, The Wire, XLR8R, Clubbingspain, Struments, Bar 33/45, Livesoundracks, Travelling Around Music, MOOG, Nitsa, Miscelanea, Telenoika, Go-Mag, Concepto Radio.

Highland Cows and Happy Holidays!
Tomorrow will be the first Thanksgiving that we have not been together since her birth. And even though I will miss her so, I am so grateful and thankful to see her having such fun and adventure. She may be an ocean away but she is always in my heart.
Whether you are here, there or anywhere, wishing you and yours much love, laughter and gratefulness, today, tomorrow and always. Happy Thanksgiving. xo

Wow. She's brave. I went to Mull and we drove 'into' a herd and were terrified as they walked past the car that their enormous horns were going to smash the window. No one was with them either!
You have the right attitude but it must be sad she is not with you.

"Sophia Loren, she is a real woman." CityKat.
Teenagers in America have been told to define whether they were "just texting, casually hooking up, friends with benefits or monogamous" as part of a new schools program that aims to minimise the harm caused by bad dating habits.
They are also advised on why ending things face-to-face is better than simply changing Facebook statuses to 'single', and how to read signs a relationship may become abusive.
Such wisdom should not be restricted to American teenagers. Such hot tips could help matters here too.
And when I say help, I'm not just talking horny teens.
Australian adults, by and large, are terrible at ending relationships. Almost as terribly handled? Getting one going in the first place.
In other words, Aussies need help.
I suppose I should explain myself.
Problem one. There is no mature, mainstream dating culture in this country.
Yes, there are plenty of businesses devoted to helping us all each find The One. Yes, there is a nightclub scene where pants-parties are frequently found at the bottom of beer glasses. But it's not really a culture inasmuch as the status quo.
And fair enough – Rome wasn't built in a day. Western singles have only had a few generations to go from tight-laced English match-making sensibilities, to today's 'wanna get a beer?' 'Orright then'. 'Wanna shag?' 'Sure, no worries'.
Or, in the words of my Italian-stallion friend, "Aussies don't date, they just mate".
"Australian men are not elegant with women – they are brutish, like boys – and they don't take charge," he said in response to questions about why he was more successful with local ladies than fellows born and bred.
And while he was less ready to criticise Australian women ("but I love the ladies!"), he did say that, compared to the bella signorine of his homeland, dames from Down Under weren't "real" women.
"Sophia Loren, she is a real woman," he said, by way of example. "Australian women – they are less… sophisticated."
Gross generalisations aside, his insight raises another reason as to why we struggle when it comes to the arts of seduction and swashbuckling. We lack a culture of romance.
In Australia, unlike Italy for example, the cultural credo otherwise vested in legendary lovers, artists and poets is lavished on murderous bushrangers, boozy larrikins, or some such scoundrel battler.
Oh worse, we roll the ideals into one, big, great, reef-n-beef-style monster notion (how else do you explain Shane Warne?).
Which brings me to my final reason we need help: Shane Warne.
But what's to be done?
We can't exactly mandate every grown person capable of engaging in a romantic relationship, or ending one, first complete a certificate in best practice.
We could have better sex and relationships education programs at schools, but that would require strong government unafraid of backlash from the chastity police who fear condoms and believe homosexuality is contagious.
We can try and be better on a personal level. And thanks to organisations like Relationships Australia (OK, OK, federally funded), various Family Planning sites, and – hey – even the Australian Sex Party, there's plenty of material out there which might be helpful.
But not everyone thinks there's a problem with how we are doing it down here.
"What's wrong with Australia? Nothing," says my girlfriend, a long-term, happy single-sort-of-looking, emphatically.
"Yes, men don't ask you out on the street, but who wants that? Yes, online dating is not all it's cracked up to be, but that's hardly unique to Australia.
"And sure, most people are asked out through friends of friends, which does create problems for when you break-up. But that's just the way it is, why should it change?"
Why indeed.
What do you think – do Australians know how to start, or finish, relationships? Are we clumsy maters or elegant daters? How do we compare on a world stage? And what are your pet loves/loathes about how we say 'yes' or 'no' to love?

Futurama is one of my favorite TV shows. It's the quintessential show about nerds, produced by nerds, for nerds, and it's chock full of inside jokes in math, science, sci-fi and pop culture.
I'm happy to note that although Futurama, the series, was cancelled after the fourth season, the show is back with a set of direct-to-DVD features. The first one, Bender's Big Score, is available now, and includes lecture by Sarah Greenwald as a special feature on the various math jokes that have appeared in the show. Some are silly, like π-in-one oil, or Klein's Beer (in a Klein bottle, of course). Others are subtle, like the repeated appearance of taxicab numbers.
Taxicab numbers are an interesting story in and of themselves. The story comes to us from G. H. Hardy, who was visiting Srinivasa Ramanujan:
I remember once going to see him when he was lying ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi-cab No. 1729, and remarked that the number seemed to be rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. "No", he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two [positive] cubes in two different ways."
Many of the staff involved in creating Futurama received advanced degrees in math, computer science and physics, so they enjoy making these obscure references, because they know their fans will find them. It shouldn't be surprising that the number 1729 makes many appearances in Futurama, or that the value 87539319 appears as an actuall taxicab number (87539319 is the sum of 2 cubes in 3 different ways).
Of course, the idea of taxicab numbers is interesting, the details less so. After watching the new feature, I wondered what Hardy's taxicab number was, and what two pairs of cubes add up to that value. If I were more mathematically inclined, I'd probably sit down with pencil and paper and just do the math until I found something. If I were truly lazy, I'd just Google for the answer. Instead, I sat down, fired up
vim and typed this code up, pretty much as you see it here:
cube x = x * x * x
taxicab n = [(cube a + cube b, (a, b), (c, d))
| a <- [1..n],
b <- [(a+1)..n],
c <- [(a+1)..n],
d <- [(c+1)..n],
(cube a + cube b) == (cube c + cube d)]
I want to find the smallest taxicab number, but searching an unbounded range will not lead to a result. Therefore, it's necessary to search a bounded range. If there are any taxicab numbers among the integers
[1..n], then this function will find them. Moreover, if there are many solutions to this problem in that range, this function will find all of them.
I could go into details, but my explanation would not be as clear and precise as the code above.
Here are some results:
*Main> taxicab 10
*Main> taxicab 12
*Main> taxicab 20
Ordinarily, I wouldn't blog about something so trivial, but as I stared at the code and the output from
ghci, it reminded me of an incident in college. The Chudnovsky brothers came up with a new algorithm to compute π that was both very precise and very quick. A professor of mine wrote a quick, throwaway implementation of this algorithm in Maple to demonstrate it. Most of my work in those days was in C. Maple wasn't a tool I'd normally use, but it was easily the best tool for the job.
The lesson my professor was trying to teach me wasn't to use computer algebra systems to indulge a fixation with transcendental numbers. Instead, he was trying to show me that a true computer scientist is presented with a problem, writes a program to solve it, and moves onto the next problem.
I could have written my taxicab number search in C or Java, but I would have lost interest somewhere between
#include <stdio.h> or
public static void main(String args[]) and firing up the compiler. I could have written the code in Perl, but I would have likely lost interest around the time I saw a nested for loop, and contemplated the four levels of nesting.
Perl programmers know Larry Wall's vision for Perl - to make the easy things easy and the hard things possible. As I stared at this code, I realized that Larry's dictum misses an important cornerstone: to make the trivial things trivial.
Haskell may get a bad rap as making hard things easy and easy things hard, but it does make trivial things trivial. Whether it's list comprehensions solve a problem in a single statement, or parser combinators that make parsing code read like the grammar it implements, there's a lot to be said for a language that gets out of your way and lets you say precisely what you mean.

Interview with Matthew Heywood : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Matthew Heywood : I wanted to design a very modern and contemporary house, but I also wanted it to be contextual to the surrounding countryside and the village of Yalding. The house is inspired by the location. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Matthew Heywood : Creating a building of great quality which is in some way timeless. I also wanted to design something which challenges peoples assumptions on the value of modern house design. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Matthew Heywood : The house is currently for sale. I wish to build on the experiences of this project and make it the starting point for a series of domestic projects over the next few years, perhaps with the intention of publishing the works as a study in modern house design. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Matthew Heywood : Where does design start and stop. The project took 2 years from start to finish and the design is not 100% complete until it is fully realised. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Matthew Heywood : This is a very personal project that I initiated myself to establish that it could be done. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Matthew Heywood : Influences are wide ranging and impossible to list, but the design is very much mine. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Matthew Heywood : Anyone who wants to live in a large beautiful house in a wonderful setting. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Matthew Heywood : I wanted the design to have integrity. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Matthew Heywood : Several years ago my mother was trying to relocate to the South East of England from Scotland. My brother and I were finding it difficult to find a house that matched my mothers needs, and we briefly explored the option of buying a piece of land (next to my brothers house) and building a new home for my mother. The project became know as Trish House (Trish being my mothers name). We eventually found a property and the new house was never built. Although the house in Yalding was never intended to be a home for my mother, somehow the "Trish House" name stuck. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Matthew Heywood : A pen and a computer. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Matthew Heywood : The angles involved in the structure and windows. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Matthew Heywood : Finding a company who could fabricate the angular opening windows was tricky. Initially I hadn't realised how hard this was to fabricate. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Matthew Heywood : A great many things too numerous to mention. It will be a terrible day if we ever stop learning. .

Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports reports that free agent infielder Orlando Cabrera is "choosing between offers" from the Rockies and Reds.The Reds can offer much more playing time, but the 35-year-old Cabrera may prefer to play for a potential contender like the Rockies. He batted .284/.316/.705 last season with nine home runs and 77 RBI in 708 plate appearances between the Athletics and Twins and earned $4 million. Jan. 28 - 8:13 pm et
For the Reds sake, let's hope that he chooses the Rockies and the Reds are "forced" to use Paul Janish. Cabrera is on the wrong side of 30 and is coming off a poor 2009 season. Here is how he performed last year:
2009 Orlando Cabrera (Age 34 Season)
Defensive Metrics
+/- Runs Saved: -29 which ranks him 35th among qualifying shortstops.
To break it down even further, here is how he handled plays in different situations:
To his right: -26
Straight on: -4
To his left: -11
Groundballs: -41
Flyballs: +2
Total: -39
2009 Salary: $4M
Here is another nugget to be considered, Total Runs.
"Originally published in The Fielding Bible Volume II, Total Runs calculates a total value for each player based on his contributions on offense and on defense. There are four elements to Total Runs: runs created, runs saved, baserunning runs, and a positional adjustment that enables a comparison of players across positions."
Paul Janish Total Runs (2009)
Runs Created: 22
Runs Saved: 11
Baserunning Runs: -1
Positional Average: 15
Total Runs: 47
Orlando Cabrera Total Runs (2009)
Runs Created: 76
Runs Saved: -32
Baserunning Runs: 1
Positional Average: 35
Total Runs: 80
So, in 2009, Orlando Cabrera had a total value of 80 runs to his teams, while Paul Janish had a total value of only 47 to the Reds. So, O-Cab was roughly 41.3% more valuable to his team than Janish. Impressive, no? Well, given that O-Cab had a significant playing time advantage over Janish, I'd say that no, it isn't impressive at all. Total Runs is not a rate stat, so it is dependent on playing time. The more you play, the more opportunities you have to be of value to your team. So, you have to take into account the amount of time a player is on the field.
In 2009, O-Cab got 708 total plate appearances and 1388.2 defensive innings at shortstop, while Janish received 292 plate appearances and 592.1 defensive innings at shortstop.
So, O-Cab got 58.8% more plate appearances and 57.3% more defensive innings than Janish.
So, in sum, in order for O-Cab to be 41% more valuable to his team than Janish, he had to receive 59% more plate appearances and 57% more defensive innings. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
That's not even taking into account their respective salaries in 2009 and their likely salaries in 2010. Or, the fact that Janish was a rookie who hasn't reached his "peak" seasons yet and O-Cab is going to be 35-years old in 2010 and is clearly on a steep down slope.
Or, to put it more simply, O-Cab's Wins Above Replacement (WAR) in 2009 was a paltry 0.6, while Janish posted a 1.1.
By just about any measure, Paul Janish was BETTER than Orlando Cabrera in 2009 and given that Janish should be trending up and O-Cab should be winding down, I fail to see how that's going to change in 2010. The only way O-Cab would be an improvement for us is if he wasn't as bad defensively as he showed in 2009 and Janish wasn't as good. Anyone want to bet on the 35 year old over the rookie in a "regression to the mean" wager????
Obviously, there is still a bit of fog in defensive metrics, but I think they are at least in the right ballpark. This is the type of analysis that the Reds should be using. Taking into consideration the entire player to properly value what they bring to the table.
In summary, it's difficult to "improve" by adding more expensive, less productive players. Why pay more for name recognition when Paul Janish would bring at least as much production at a lower cost? Fact remains, Aroldis Chapman is the way we should be spending our money. Ramon Hernandez, Willy Taveras, and Orlando Cabrera are a complete waste of resources. Put the resources into players who *could* be significantly above league average, not into guys who are, at best, only marginally better than league average or even replacement level.

Actor James Marsden is baffled by longstanding rumors suggesting he is the mystery father of January Jones' baby, dismissing the speculation as "stupid talk."
The blonde beauty has kept her son Xander's paternity a secret since getting pregnant in 2011, but reports linking the two "X-Men" alumni have continued to circulate, much to Marsden's annoyance.
In a new interview with Playboy magazine, he says, "There's so much stupid talk out there. I think that came from somebody thinking we were both in X-Men, so it must be true."
However, Marsden admits the two stars have learned to laugh about the false baby claims: "Every time I see January, she's like, 'Hey, father of my baby.'"
Jones starred as mutant Emma Frost in 2011′s movie prequel "X-Men: First Class," while Marsden featured as Scott Summers and his alter ego Cyclops in the original "X-Men" film, which was released in 2000, and its two sequels, "X2″ and "X-Men: The Last Stand."
The actor is already a father of three – he has two children with his estranged wife Lisa Linde, while he welcomed a boy named William Luca last December following a brief fling with Brazilian model Rose Costa.

Hey everyone, I have another question that needs answering!!!
What I'm looking for is to know the following:
In a single day (24 hour period), the human body creates/destroys/expels what?
Basically, how much callories, fat, sugar, acids (each type), enzymes (each type) hormone (each type) etc that the human body creates/destroyes/expels each day from doing absolutely nothing. Simply just from doing the basic work of living. I guess the best way to put it is imagine a human being for 24 hours did nothing but stand still in one place, and only breathed, let his/her heart beat, and used their memory (no other movements or processes) for those 24 hours. What would the human body have done? Like, what kind of acids or hormones would it use up for basic bodily functions, what would the human body expel (waste products).
I'm trying to figure out, saying that the human has 100% everything it needs to function for that 24 horus, after the 24 hours, what would be left? What would be needed (in exact amounts, not percentages or estimations) to replenish anything that would be lost by the body, it's tissues, organs, etc? Please try to use scientific proof to back up your statements, as I am not accepting information from nutrition sites, or dietary sites, or anything of the sort that could be manipulated by theories, opinions, or be slightly off skew…I want strait hard facts that can be proven by science itself!
Help me out!
aah, you're the one, who wished to know the exact composition of human body? 😆
You're forgetting one thing, we're not uniform and either is our composition or metabolism. More likely, you didn't specify your conditions (like temperature, whether will s/he perspirate or be cooled or how will s/he get some nutrition, if none, s/he will be starving (with related consecvences)).
interesting…i also want to know the answer of this question…anyone?

Cheese Thousand Layer Cake (Lapis Legit Keju)
I did it! I did it! yaaayy.............
This is my second attempt making this kind of cake and the first one was nothing but failure :(. I was determined to make it again until I succeeded and here it is my friend, I proudly present my Lapis Cake :D.
This is another traditional Indonesian delicacy, although Singaporean and Malaysian also have this same cake too. This cake is best known for its ridiculous quantity of butter and egg yolks, making it the number one cake that has the highest cholesterol level :D, not to mention the time it needs to make layer by layer. It needs a great patience and determination. But it's not like you eat it everyday, or you eat the whole thing, so moderation is the key.
Still being traumatic with the failure I had last time, I don't want to waste another 20+ egg yolks and a pound of good quality butter. This is one of the most expensive and labor-intensive cake in Indonesia. To get the best taste, you have to use the best quality ingredients. The freshest eggs, the best quality butter. I would say butter is the key to this cake. We usually use Australian butter that has higher fat content than American butter, and it also has "milky" taste to it that I love so much. The only draw back is that this kind of butter is so darn expensive, about $5 for less than 1/2lb.
I tried a new recipe this time, which uses cream cheese in the batter. You know I love anything cheesy and I still have a little cream cheese left in the fridge. And it only uses less than 20 egg yolks for 7x7in pan. So, it's perfect for another try. 16 egg yolks are not much at all if you're thinking of making this cake. I have a recipe that calls for 60 egg yolks. Yes, you read it right, it's the whole 5 dozens egg yolks and 1.5lbs butter. I'm not that crazy yet, so I'll save it for another time :), but I would be very curious to know how it would turn like.
I used a recipe from auntyyochana site, but I completely change the method. The usual method is you beat the butter and the egg yolk separately until they both bleached, then you combine them together, but the recipe doesn't suggest this. Somehow, I follow my instinct and use the method that I'm familiar with. I also added condensed milk when beating the butter (it's usually added for emulsifier I think? no?) and substitute the rum with Indonesian vanilla powder. It doesn't call for "bumbu spekoek" or mixed spice that's usually make lapis legit its distinct flavor. Some people like it and some don't. I'm okay with it as long as it's not too strong. A little of this spice goes a long way. But I would think it would completely overpower the cheese flavor if it was added. I would prefer it to be added in a regular flavor lapis cake.
I layered it one by one, taking the pan out once every 5 minutes or so, press the cake with fondant smoother, prick the air bubbles if there are any, and layer it with another batter. You need to weigh the batter or use the same amount for each layer to ensure the even finish layers. It took me more than 2 hours I think to finish layering (not counting the batter preparation itself) and all that time, I patiently waiting and sticking my nose to the oven window, watching it carefully like eagle's eyes :D. But seriously, you need to watch it carefully to prevent burning (at least for amateur like me), since you need to use broil setting to brown the layer.
I felt pretty confident when I was halfway through. The cake felt very moist and soft, unlike the first one I made. And I was filled with joy after I cut the four sides and see the pretty layers showing. The very top part was a little too brown than what I would have expected. I was holding a baby and then remembered about the cake!! (I didn't time it). Good thing I didn't burn it or else the last 3-4 hours would have been gone straight to drain :(.
It tasted very moist and soft when I tried it. I was really satisfied with the result, and it completely made my day even though now I'm left with this pain on my feet and my back, hehehe...The cheese flavor is not that strong, I can barely taste it. I think it's predictable, considering the amount of the cream cheese compared to the butter. I would make some adjustment to the recipe to make the ultimate "Lapis Legit Keju". I'm thinking adding more cream cheese, sprinkling each layer with shredded cheese, adding a little more egg yolk to have the usual yellow color in this cake. Some people added yellow coloring to it, but I think it's just fake. This cake is not as yellow as the ones sold in upscale bakery in Indonesia since this doesn't use as many egg yolks. And since I'm a big fan of "milky" flavor, I will substitute some of the flour with powdered milk. Now, it would really be "the ultimate" :D. But don't expect me to make it anytime soon. After this one, we need to work hard to lose that extra calories and cholesterol, not to mention the labor-intensive and time-consuming part. But I gues a multi-component cake would take much longer to make than this.

Governor Tom Corbett today urged citizens to be prepared for the extreme cold weather forecasted for mid-week.
"With overnight lows expected to range from the negative teens to near zero, Pennsylvania residents in parts of the state will see some of the coldest temperatures in nearly two decades," Corbett said. "Although we are fortunate that this cold snap will be brief, it is important to know that low temperatures such as those forecasted, combined with bitter cold wind chills will be dangerous.
"I'm urging Pennsylvanians to avoid unnecessary trips outdoors, until after the extreme cold has passed. However, if you must venture outside be sure to take the necessary precautions and limit the time spent in the harsh weather."
Corbett said that he has been receiving regular briefings from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) regarding the coming extreme cold and that he has instructed the agency to be at the ready in case additional state resources are necessary.
"The bottom line is that preparedness equals safety," Corbett said. "PEMA and other state agencies will be working around the clock to keep Pennsylvanians safe and I'm urging all residents to have their own emergency plan in place just in case. Remember that the time to plan is before an emergency strikes."
The commonwealth's ReadyPA campaign encourages citizens to take three basic steps before an emergency occurs: Be Informed, Be Prepared, Be Involved. More detailed information, including downloadable emergency kit checklists and emergency plan templates, is available online at www.ReadyPA.org.

Newtown Athletic Club, Newtown, PA, has broken ground on a two-year, $12 million expansion project, which will include a new baseball academy, an indoor athletic field house and an outdoor recreational pool complex.
Newtown is trying to appeal to the youth market, ages 10-16, by adding a 7,000-square-foot youth fitness center combined with a personal training and sports performance training center, which will specialize in training programs for sports and conditioning. A 12,000-square-foot adult fitness center, a new roadway entrance and a repaved and expanded parking lot also will be built.
The project is designed by Ohlson Lavoie Collaborative, Denver, under the direction of Hervey Lavoie. When completed in June 2013, the facility will cover 22 acres and house new equipment, as well as a cardio theater.
"The club, just as it is, would be enough of a lifetime achievement and we love it, but this next expansion will raise us to the level we have always imagined possible" says Jim Worthington, Newtown Athletic Club's owner and president.
The expansion is the latest project showing the company's growth. Earlier this year, Newtown partnered with Doug Steinly to open the Horsham Athletic Club in Philadelphia.

Vol. 2 of Hess's field fortification series
Part of University of North Carolina Press's Civil War America series,Field Armies and Fortifications in the Civil War: The Eastern Campaigns, 1861-1864 was clearly one of the best military history books of 2005 (see my review). You might want to grab a copy if you haven't read it yet.

Great news! I definitely enjoyed volume 1.
- AnonymousMay 11, 2007 at 6:43 AM
Hello DrewReplyDelete
Thanks for keeping us updated on upcoming releases. Always look forward to upcoming books being published. I think Hess is planning a 3rd volume in this series? I thought it was either dealing with Petersburg or seacost fortifications?
Also looking forward to these books being released:
1. Gordon Rhea's final volume in his Overland Campaign
2. William Shea's study on Prairie Grove Arkansas battle
Have you possibly heard anything about these?
Are there others you are specifically looking forward to?
According to Hess, the third volume is still planned to be Petersburg. I haven't heard anything about Rhea. As for Shea, I haven't asked him about it in a long time, but I heard it was to be finished by summer 07 (when published? who knows, but hopefully soon after!)ReplyDelete
'2007 and beyond' books I am looking forward to the most:
1)Shea as above.
2)Sellmeyer's history of Shelby's brigade (June 07)
3)Frazier's next book about the Sibley/Green brigade 62-63 (orig. scheduled for spring 07 but I've yet to see any mention of it on the press site)
4) Mayeux's Fort DeRussy study (Sept 07)
5) Jones-Imboden Raid hx by Darrell Collines (fall/winter 07)
6) Beatie vol 3...hopefully any day now.

Some of those titles look very good. I have an update on Rhea. The following will be available from LSU later in the year, IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF GRANT and Lee. A photographic narrative of the Overland Campaign battlefields as they appear today.

On his way to Port Vale as Director of Football apparently.
Maybe it's something about this club that takes previously successful managers and turns them into failures. Just sayin
Is it that two of our not successful managers are and have been named Micky or just what they take out of the clubs and supporters .you will be sorry Port vale
To be fair hadn't he done a decent job prior to joining us. I seem to remember thinking it was a good appointment at the time. Obviously I was wrong in hindsight.
I think Adams was definitely the right appointment for us and one that I was excited about. He was certainly useless (at best), but his prior record meant you couldn't fault the appointment. Unfortunately, that was one of those times when the right decision was probably the worst one you could make.
Obviously we are where we are we sacked him too late, should have gone last year.
Surely however your chairman would at least know the offside rule.
Thank you as I think Port Vale would just disappear and turn into a Darlington.
