Skip to comments.The Idea Man: Enter Paul Ryan, Stage Right
Posted on 09/01/2012 7:22:20 AM PDT by Kaslin
It had the air of a debut. The 42-year-old out of the world of conservative ideas was stepping on stage at Tampa as his party's nominee for vice president of the United States. And you could tell he was happy to be there, and would be even happier once the bell rang for the main event, which will be this fall's presidential campaign. ("We can do this!")
Contrary to the accepted caricature of his running mate as an over-cautious type out of the East, Mitt Romney took a flyer on this young congressman from the Midwest. He may still be a newcomer on the national scene, but Paul Ryan is a veteran idea man. Mitt Romney's picking him as his running mate was already paying off as a hurricane-spooked convention, its opening postponed, its nerves frayed by high winds and rising waters to the west, had finally sputtered to life -- thanks to Ann Romney the night before. No one else on that evening's program was quite like her, the keynote speaker having talked mainly about ... New Jersey. And himself.
Now the convention was about to gain speed and altitude, like a 747 lumbering down the runway. And would soon lift up, maybe even soar. This night, Paul Ryan was at the controls. And, you could tell, enjoying it. So was his audience. He could hope the country was coming along to check out the Republican Party's new look and, more important than its new crew, its new power. The power of ideas.
Paul Ryan may be a new face to a national audience, but he is a familiar one on the conservative think-tank circuit. His intellectual trajectory is familiar, too: from a boy reader's fascination with Ayn Rand's pop ideology to the Austrian school of economists epitomized by Friedrich Hayek ("The Road to Serfdom").
Unlike the usual political comers in Congress, this young man did his apprenticeship outside Washington -- in idea factories like Empower America, where Jack Kemp, that old supply-sider and quarterback, used to hold court. Young Ryan was a familiar figure in the little magazines of the right, then on the editorial and op-ed pages of the Wall Street Journal, long before he started calling the shots on the House Budget Committee.
Paul Ryan spent years thinking first, politicking only later. And his thoughts came with spreadsheets. On his big night, he showed he could present ideas based on numbers but not limited to them. His ideas may be as grounded in figures as a cost accountant's, but his spirit is Reaganesque. ("We can do this!")
There was no doubt Paul Ryan could energize this convention; he may even energize his whole party with a tea party populism. But when Mitt Romney's choice of this young man as his running mate was announced, it also energized another quarter: the opposition, or at least its tired old warhorses.
Oh, boy, here was their big chance -- to drum up Mediscare again, and roll out nostrums that may not have been new since the 1930s, but that still have power, or at least are thought to have power by those now uneasily in power. Or rather in office. There's a difference. Those now in high office may have run out of any ideas except staying there. Nor do they ever run out of straw men -- and Paul Ryan, it was thought, would make the perfect foil. They may not think so now.
Ronald Reagan once inspired the same enthusiasm on the part of his opponents on the left. He was just an "amiable dunce," to quote the Democratic Party's wise old man, Clark Clifford, who proved older than he did wise. Jimmy Carter's brain trust, to use the term loosely, welcomed this old B-movie actor to the presidential race. Ronald Reagan may have had an infectious smile, but, they assumed, nothing else. They found out different.
Much like the Carter administration, this one seems to think progress is nothing but more and more of the same thing -- more spending, more government take-overs, more happy talk -- even when the same thing has repeatedly produced the same disappointing results, from the static unemployment figures to the familiar misadventures in crony capitalism. (See under Solyndra.)
A confession: I've never thought much about Janesville, Wis. To be more exact, I've never thought about Janesville, Wis., at all. But if it can produce a Paul Ryan, with his family and work ethic and parish church and all the rest of his very American ethos, it must be a nice place. Like so many other small towns in the Midwest, and in America. Like a town called Pine Bluff in Arkansas, where I spent 30 years writing editorials for the feisty local paper.
You know the kind of places I mean. The kind of places that are still the backbone of the country. The kind of places that dot what Scott Fitzgerald called the dark rolling fields of the republic. Janesville has a nice sound to it -- like Bedford Falls or Hannibal, Mo. And you never know when some small town will produce a wonderful life, or a Mark Twain. Or, yes, a Paul Ryan.
Agree or disagree with young Mr. Ryan's array, arsenal and abundance of ideas and energy, this much surely is beyond dispute: He provides a dramatic contrast with his opposite on the other ticket this fall, the current vice president of the United States -- who's more of a political embarrassment than a political thinker.
There is a peculiar, pitiable air about an old plagiarist like poor Joe Biden -- the air of someone who doesn't have enough confidence in the power of his own words and ideas to rely on them, but must steal others'. Paul Ryan seems to have no need to appropriate others' words. He has enough confidence in his own ideas to produce, present and defend them. Vigorously. After his performance in Tampa, I have an idea, too: He can do this.
The liberals are pushing the narrative that Ryan’s speech was full of lies.
It will be interesting to compare the MSM coverage of the Democrats to the coverage of the Republicans.
Anybody else notice how diverse the Republican party is nowadays? Mia Love, Nikki Haley, Susana Martinez, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Artur Davis, Condi Rice, etc. Yet on MSNBC, they intentionally cut away from their speeches, to push the narrative that the GOP is the party of older whites.
They intentionally have censored minority GOP members, because if we believe what we see with our own eyes, uncensored, we would see that this issue of the GOP and racism and all that is demonstrably false.
I wonder if Chris Mathews will get thrills up his leg again, when Obama mounts the podium in Charlotte. I wonder if they are doing the Greek column thing again..............
The word “Math” is racially offensive.
No, you’re thinking of “meth,” not “math.”
Wisconsin Paul Greenberg on Paul Ryan ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I noticed they got quiet about Ryan's speech after the various fact check sources were proven to be full of, um, holes.
Love the t-shirt!
Like water, math “always wins”.
When I went to their website to capture the picture, I noticed that the shirts are 30% off on a Labor Day special. I paid full price last week. I might order another one for a friend in Arkansas — good GOP person. Cafe Press.
I liked the service from Cafe Press when I ordered Palin shirts 4 years ago. Thanks for the tip on the weekend sale!

Blessed are those who have their own well-stocked mechanic’s bay, for their bicycle repairs shall be almost frustration free. For the rest of us, a small tool box and a great multi-tool like the Topeak Toolstick 11 can go a long way.
Recently released, the new tool costs a paltry $14. But with it in your shop apron, you can come close to putting together a bike without using anything else. Even though it has only four tools — 3/4/5mm hex wrenches and a #2 Phillips screwdriver — they’re the ones you need for most mountain or road bike assembly and maintenance. And since it’s only the size of a really fat pencil, the Topeak Toolstick 11 can fit in your cargo shorts on rides.
The rubber cushioned, hardened steel tool shaft is comfy but solid in your hand. Articulating tool heads on both ends swivel, which makes getting to hard to reach bolts easier. Small, handy and inexpensive, the Topeak Toolstick 11 is a great addition to any toolbox.
—Stephen Krcmar is a former bike mechanic who lives in Mammoth Lakes, Calif.

The time period for the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) to grant licenses for Greek tourist accommodation will be reduced from 240 days to 60 days, according to arrangements contained in an omnibus bill presented in late December 2011 by Culture and Tourism Minister Pavlos Yeroulanos.
Mr. Yeroulanos explained that once a businessman submits a dossier to the GNTO for approval, he would receive a temporary operating seal and can begin operation.
GNTO services would then have to make checks within a specific time period.
In addition, a single seal would be given to businesses for the licensing of a tourist accommodation, the establishment and operation of sanitary facilities and swimming pools.
The omnibus bill also will see to the creation of an electronic information registry on Greek marinas in regards to their location, change of location and permit operation.
In addition, the bill establishes the framework for the development of rural tourism while also clarified are agritourism, wine tourism and fishing tourism.
The omnibus bill also includes special tax and social security arrangements for farmers that provide agritourism services and for fishermen that provide fishing tourism services.

Strengths and Talents
I've been thinking quite a bit lately about personalities and why we choose certain career paths and hobbies. We all have different strengths and talents, and it's neat to step back and think about how people approach things differently. I was at a drawing group last night, and though I don't draw, I got roped into it anyway. We ended up having a huge discussion about how I plan out the animals I'm creating, and it was interesting to hear the different ways people would begin the process. For me, I just imagine what I want in my head and start sewing. Most times it works out, but sometimes I have to correct something or start over. For the artists I was with, they agreed they would start by sketching out the entire thing before ever touching a piece of fabric.
Lately, I've really been noticing a shift in both my girls' personalities. They are both developing a strong sense of self, and Poesy especially, is very particular about most things. I find myself stepping back and feeling a sense of awe as I think about their strengths and talents at this point in life, and wonder what the future holds for these two precious gals of mine. I hope they always do things that they truly love and that truly inspire them.
Little Miss Personality decided a few days ago that she NEEDED pink hair, so after a fail with a packet of Koolaid, hair chalk came to the rescue. The way she struts around with that pink hair confidence makes me so happy.
Love what you love, little one. Love who you are and keep feeling like you can conquer the world, because you totally can.

Stormy in the Plains: Scattered rain and thunderstorms will slow down drivers across various parts the country today and tonight. However, it will be relatively quiet in the West and Northeast. Severe storms are possible from the Texas Panhandle to the northern Great Plains. The best chance for intense winds, large hail, blinding rain, and isolated tornadoes is along I-90 and I-94 from Billings, Montana and Sheridan, Wyoming into the Dakotas and northwestern Minnesota. Other target areas could be the southern half of Nebraska, as well as eastern Colorado and northern Kansas, affecting I-70 and I-80.
California quakes: After two strong earthquakes cracked roads in and around the town of Ridgecrest on July 4 and 5, traffic is flowing a little better. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) tweeted on June 6 that “All roads are open near the Ridgecrest earthquakes & aftershocks. This includes SR-178, which re-opened after emergency temporary repairs. Heavy equipment will be used to make permanent repairs. Motorists need [to] obey hazard signs and slow down.” According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the region has been averaging one aftershock per minute since Friday’s quake, and more are possible.
Eyes on the Gulf: A low pressure system in Georgia could move into the Gulf of Mexico by mid-week, then head west as a tropical depression. This would potentially dump heavy rain in southern parts of Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana later this week, and produce gusty winds.

Add some green to your red, heart-filled Valentine’s Day dinner this year, with the creamy, luscious presence of Avocados From Mexico. We’ve got an inspired menu all planned out for you, including accessible, delicious recipes to boot. You’ll have your partner saying “more, por favor” with these Valentine’s Day dinner ideas.
Wake up your taste buds with gourmet avocado deviled eggs. Avocados give the egg yolk filling a pale, green hue, and jalapeño peppers add a spicy hit. If that’s not enough spice for you, up the ante by topping your deviled eggs with crushed red pepper flakes.
It’s as easy as taking boiled, cooled egg yolks, avocado, and lime juice and mashing until smooth. Then, add your finely chopped jalapeño, salt, pepper, and cilantro before spooning onto each boiled egg white half. Top, chill, and serve for a spicy start to your Valentine’s Day dinner.
You’ll need to have some ripe avocados on hand to make this recipe and the ones that follow. If you’re in a rush, speed up the ripening process with a brown paper bag.
Woo your sweetheart by whipping up this easy and fabulous chicken Parmesan recipe, topped with a zesty avocado crema, for your Valentine’s Day dinner main course.
Start by pounding two, boneless chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup of bread crumbs and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan. In another bowl, beat two eggs with a tablespoon of milk. Dip each chicken piece into the egg wash and then coat with the bread crumb and cheese mixture.
Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado or olive oil on medium-high heat and fry in large skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F).
While your chicken cooks, combine one avocado, a pinch of salt, zest of half a lemon, 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of chopped parsley in a blender. Blend until smooth and pour over your chicken when you’re ready to serve.
Serve with a fresh, crisp green salad and a quick tomato and avocado salsa. Combine a diced large, ripe tomato, half an avocado (also diced) and half a finely chopped shallot with a squeeze of lemon juice and a good drizzle of olive oil. Toss in a pinch of salt and pepper, mix to combine, and pour over your washed, dried salad greens and enjoy.
End your Valentine’s Day dinner with a classic, rice cereal treat cut into the shape of a heart. This version features half a pureed avocado, which also reduces the butter without sacrificing taste.
Start by melting 4 cups of mini marshmallows with 2 tablespoons of butter. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla, a pinch of sea salt, your pureed avocado, and mix in your 6 cups of rice cereal until fully combined. Press into a buttered baking pan (9×13 inches works), with wet hands and smooth the cereal out. Cool, slice, and enjoy with a glass of bubbly, because, there’s no such thing as “too sweet” on Valentine’s Day!
And because we know you’ll want to make all of these sweetheart recipes, here are some handy tips to help you pick your avocados for the week, so that you get perfectly ripe avocados at home, every time.

Work to build the first modern hydro-electric plant in the Borders is underway.
The £1.3m scheme is to be installed at Murray's Cauld on the Ettrick water near Selkirk. It's expected to generate enough electricity to power more than 200 homes.
Councillors approved the project earlier this month.
It will also see improvements made to the cauld, including new fish passes for different species such as salmon and eels.
Progress has been hampered by high water levels, but it is hoped the scheme will be up and running by next summer.

The generation of multiciliated cells (MCCs) is required for the proper function of many tissues, including the respiratory tract, brain, and germline. Defects in MCC development have been demonstrated to cause a subclass of mucociliary clearance disorders termed reduced generation of multiple motile cilia (RGMC). To date, only two genes, Multicilin (MCIDAS) and cyclin O (CCNO) have been identified in this disorder in humans. Here, we describe mice lacking GEMC1 (GMNC), a protein with a similar domain organization as Multicilin that has been implicated in DNA replication control. We have found that GEMC1‐deficient mice are growth impaired, develop hydrocephaly with a high penetrance, and are infertile, due to defects in the formation of MCCs in the brain, respiratory tract, and germline. Our data demonstrate that GEMC1 is a critical regulator of MCC differentiation and a candidate gene for human RGMC or related disorders.
In addition to a role in DNA replicaion, Geminin‐like coiled‐coil containing protein 1 (GEMC1) interacts with E2F4/5‐DP1 and Multicilin to control transcriptional programs required for multiciliated cell (MCC) differentiation in mammals.
GEMC1 is required for normal growth and fertility in mice.
Multiciliated cells and sperm require GEMC1.
GEMC1 interacts with E2F4/5‐DP1 and Multicilin.
Multiciliated cells transcriptional programs are activated by GEMC1.
GEMC1 is a candidate gene for human ciliopathies.

Our Redkite and BlackKite wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) systems provide incident and operational commanders with unprecedented situational awareness over large geographic areas. Both Redkite (EO) and BlackKite (IR) support long-duration overwatch by helping law enforcement officers gather pre-mission intelligence as well as helping them follow actions in real time. The airborne WAMI sensors also help with the coordination of officer response over long-distance pursuits.
During an operation, commanders may not need to view a whole city at once, so both our Redkite and BlackKite systems provide for 10 streaming video windows, allowing users to follow different “chip outs” of a larger scene. Imagery captured by the sensors in near-real time can be transmitted to a user’s mobile device. In addition, officers on the ground can access the data stored onboard while the systems are still airborne.
For more information on how Logos Technologies can support your operations overwatch needs, please email email@example.com.

Dualsystems announces collaboration to identify new targets of Covid-19
“iBET – Instituto the Biologia Experimental e Tecnológica and Dualsystems Biotech AG entered a collaboration to investigate how COVID-19 infects human cells using Dualsystems’ unique LRC-TriCEPS platform to identify novel functional targets at the surface of living cells during infection.
Dualsystems’ LRC-TriCEPS technology is a unique platform that allows to identify targets on living primary cells (i.e. T-cells) or cell lines. The advantage of our technology is that the cells expressing the unknown targets are still alive during the interaction. Therefore, the target proteins are in their right microenvironment and in their correct three dimensional formation. We therefore can mimic what happens in the patient. After all a living cat is not the same as a cat statue and the same is true for artificial systems that do not reflect the complete complexity of a living cell.

Author Sandra Cisneros receives prestigious Fuller Prize from the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame
The author of Mango Street will receive her career-long award on Saturday, March 13, during a virtual ceremony.
MORE IN THIS SECTION
At age 66, writer Sandra Cisneros can boast not only as one of the leaders of Latino literature in the United States, but also having received prestigious awards, such as the PEN America Award, the PEN/Nabokov Award for International Literature and the National Medal of Arts.
Now, she is also the recipient of the Fuller Prize, granted by the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame (CLHOF), and will receive it on Saturday, March 13, in a virtual ceremony.
Author, critic and editor Donna Seaman, in charge of interviewing Cisneros during the event, highlighted to the Chicago Tribune the power of the Mexican-American writer's fiction, poetry and essays, and added that she is "a writer with conscience and compassion, candid, funny, imaginative and generous, full of surprises and deeply attuned to the human experience."
Sandra Cisneros, whose first novel, The House on Mango Street, has already become a classic of American literature with more than 6 million copies sold since its publication in 1984, joins a distinguished group of Fuller winners including Gene Wolfe, Harry Mark Petrakis, Haki Madhubuti, Rosellen Brown, Angela Jackson, Stuart Dybek, Sara Paretsky, and Sterling Plumpp.
In addition, Chicago poet Carlos Cumpian will be the master of ceremonies, and some local artists will have the opportunity to perform short tributes to the writer in addition to a Q&A for the audience.
But the tour doesn't end there for Cisneros, as she will also be one of the guest writers at the San Antonio Book Festival 2021, which will be held virtually this April after an initial cancellation.
The daughter of a Mexican family living in Chicago and the only female of seven kids, Cisneros always avidly sought out Latino references to draw inspiration from as she dreamed of becoming a writer.
The House on Mango Street is a reflection of those childhood dreams as well as a reflection on migration, racism, cultural assimilation and misogyny.
It's something that Sandra Cisneros managed to develop brilliantly through Esperanza, the Latina teenager through whom she explored the complexities of identity and portrayed her family, her stifling neighborhood, and her entry into puberty, which was marked by sexual abuse.
All are themes that remain as in vogue today as they were 40 years ago.
"That novel opened a window into Chicago's Mexican-American culture and, more broadly, the plight of immigrants in our nation," said Randy Albers, professor and chair emeritus of fiction at Columbia College, and chairman of the CLHOF board. "In her long career, Cisneros has written numerous poems, novels, short stories and essays that have made her a leading voice for the underprivileged and underrepresented. She is an activist, feminist, teacher and mentor, someone to admire and emulate, but also to learn from at a time when the culture wars have become endemic and division is rampant."
The Chicago Literary Hall of Fame was founded in 2008 by Don Evans, writer of the novel Good Money After Bad, editor of the anthology Cubbie Blues: 100 Years of Waiting Till Next Year and author of the short story collection An Off-White Christmas.

Let’s talk about electronic toys promoting motor and social skills.
One of my favourite electronic toys is Casio Keyboard. It was presented by my parents on my 5th birthday. I enjoy it and feel incredibly blessed to have access to the digital keyboard.
Casio Keyboard – My Favorite Electronic Toy:
From the age of 3, after seeing A.R. Rahman on stage playing some amazing synth lines and creating sound textures, I wanted to get into electronic music. I really love the special gift.
Though it is fairly an entry-level keyboard, I love to try out new sounds and rhythms on it. It has plenty of features and thus I like to play, experiment and learn about music. It’s really so much fun playing with my electronic keyboard.
It’s so handy and lightweight (about 4 pounds) that I take it for parties and play “Happy Birthday” song on it. Though there are many new toys in my kitty still I feel elated when I play music on my keyboard. It makes learning more fun than ever before.
This little keyboard is great; it’s compact so I can take it anywhere I want.

Delicious Gluten Free bread that will leave you wanting more!
Davina Steel loved artisan bread! That was until she became severeley intolerant to gluten, leaving her restricted to a much smaller range. Davina found the gluten free bread she could find to be dry, sweet and crumbly, whilst some tasted of chemicals.
On a mission to find great tasting, gluten free bread, Davina began experimenting with her own recipes, removing sugar and additives to recreate "normal" bread. After a few months of intensive research and baking (and in her own words, "creating loaves that even the birds wouldn't eat!") she finally discovered the Holy Grail of gluten free: beautiful bread that tasted so good you wanted to the eat the whole loaf - and go back for another slice (or two!)
If you're looking for a gluten free bread, pick up one of Davina's mixes at your local Co-op.

It has been the biggest help and blessing to me. In this book he serves up a funny, unpredictable story featuring the main character from his previous book, Killing Time in Bangkok, an intriguing individual named Bolton who, fresh from some Muy Thai training in Thailand, gets himself into all sorts of predicaments and trouble, both fun and dangerous, as he embarks on a very short film career in Cambodia. I like the way they are organized, and the colored tabs on the sides of the page make it very easy to get to the section of interest. And, this book in particular, deals with an issue that has too often in our society been swept under the rug. Download book Pop Girl Pdf Epub.

I liked that she is smart and caring. The cover art is by Vince Haig (for 'White Rabbit' by Georgina Bruce), and interior illustrations are by Vince Haig again, Martin Hanford, and Richard Wagner. The characters in every book of this series will keep you on the edge of your seat with their antics.

Edit: official site URL corrected (6/15/07)
The buzz has really started to build (see some of my fellow bloggers) on this new doc by Gene Graham on co-founder of legendary disco independent West End Records, philanthropist, Paradise Garage backer and all-around disco pioneer, Mel Cheren.. In more recent years, the publishing of his autobiography "Keep On Dancin': My Life And The Paradise Garage," the relaunching of West End as an active label and his ongoing philanthropic efforts have done a great deal to solidify his legacy and contributions to disco and beyond.. Although I haven't actually posted any West End material yet, I'm a big fan of their output. Being one of the few disco independents still at it today; out of respect for them, so far I've taken their personal appeals for listeners not to file-share to heart, and besides, they offer much of their classic and current catalogue as digital downloads on their site anyway. So needless to say, in light of all that, I've been a little hesitant to post any of their material on here.
As a child, one of my earliest and fondest disco memories was dancing my lil' butt off to Karen Young's "Hot Shot" and trying (badly) to imitate those explosive, kick-ass ad-libs of hers.. I absolutely couldn't get enough of that song! Later on, I'd become familiar with much more of their excellent output, especially through their Larry Levan releases: "Classic West End Records Remixes" (1999, West End) and "Live At The Paradise Garage" (2000, West End/Strut). Those two sets in particular, were and still are very special to me, having played a huge part in my serious introduction to disco.. Perhaps one of these days I'll do a much more in-depth appreciation post about West End. As far as the documentary itself goes, here's an excerpt from one of the press releases out there:
The Godfather of Disco is a feature-length documentary based on Mel Cheren's powerful autobiography, My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin'.I'm not sure if this'll come up here to Canada anytime soon (or anywhere near me, for that matter), but so far it seems to have gotten some high praise from audiences and critics alike since it's premiere at the 2007 Minneapolis/St. Paul International Film Festival, where Gene Graham won the Emerging Filmmakers Award and more recently at NewFest, the New York LGBT Film Festival.. Currently making the rounds on the festival circuit, the doc includes interviews from figures like Vince Montana, Jr.; Louie Vega, Louis Benedetti, Barbara Tucker, Kevin Hedge, Ultra Naté, Randy Jones and Junior Vasquez, just to name-drop a few of them..
Through a series of interviews with a who's who of the dance music community, The Godfather of Disco (G.O.D.) follows the arc of Mel's life to examine the early 70s musical and cultural currents that gave birth to disco; West End Records' contribution to that scene; and the rise of the Paradise Garage.
From that cultural heyday, the film then charts the onslaught of HIV/AIDS, its impact on New York City, and Mel's heroic efforts in the face of an epidemic through his work for Gay Men's Health Crisis and 24hrs for Life/LIFEbeat.
Mel has been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale. And, rest assured, he still does it all today. The Godfather of Disco makes a compelling case for how one's man's musical vision and AIDS activism helped push gay sensibilities into the greater culture--and how our world is better for it.
Pioneer. Activist. Survivor. Mel Cheren is The Godfather of Disco.
Anyway, this is definitely one documentary that I've got to see sometime.. Hopefully "Godfather of Disco" will be making it to a festival near you. Either way, even if it doesn't, there should be a DVD release to follow..
In the mean time, check out the trailer below for a little preview:

The following are several recent projects in generative media, interactive arts, interaction design, music software, and theory.
As a number of the projects have been collaborations, I noted my role in initiating, leading, or developing the listed projects, as applicable.
Note: certain links reference external sites.
HMMM: Pattern Theory approach to Generative Media
The project presents an adaptation of machine cognitive models for the creative and interactive design of media, including sound. The result may be variously understood as:
- A tool for statistical performance
- A system for eliciting the self organization of structures in time and parameter space
- A model for the spontaneous organization of real-time series
- A hidden variables stochastic graphical model for the succession and time of onset of sensory events or changes in sensory parameters
- A repurposing of the hidden Markov model toward capturing and synthesizing patterns with perceptually natural qualities
lyta: remote touch interface
Pair of telehaptic surfaces, with FoAM
Lyta is a unique artistic installation commissioned by the city of Wolfsburg, Germany for the new science center Phaeno, designed by Zaha Hadid architects, and newly opened on 25 November 2005 in the center of Wolfsburg. It is a system for interactive, body-scale space-time architecture: two kinetically-charged surfaces, separated in space, are linked telematically so that deformations induced by touching each one are transmitted to the other interactively.
The result is be a networked, modular, and interactive behavioral sculpture which haptically connects people at distant locations. It is based on a novel biomimetic haptic displacement transmission network developed by FoAM and Merlin Systems, a robotics firm based in Plymouth, UK.
Meta Acoustics: Ontologies of trans-sensory signals
Research initiative sulla rappresentazione delle forme attraverso il suono.
Knowledge of the world is conveyed to us by diverse signals impacting our senses. While our auditory system is adapted to linear waves travelling in air, our ears are capable of recording the results of a wider class of disturbances, which may be conveyed by any physical or unphysical laws, in any spaces we can imagine, provided they can be translated into perceivable vibrations. Conversely, such sensations carry information about the spaces, bodies, and dynamics (i.e. the possible ecologies of sound) that have left their imprint upon the signals passing through them.
This idea has facilitated the sonic presentation of features of the familiar world, of worlds or collections of worlds beyond our perception, or beyond possibility. Their real and virtual physical domains range in scale from the microscopic to the cosmic. In each extreme, we are dealing with technologies for presenting the radically insensable.
Recycled Soundscapes: Sonic Diversion of the Public Flow
Interactive public sound installation, with Karmen Franinovic
Recycled Soundscape is designed as a system through which to explore and engage with auditory aspects of experience in the city, and to provide the possibliity of relief, through sound and relational design, from the prevailing and often stressful urban flow.
The result is an interactive system for the public orchestration of an urban sound ecology. It consists of a set of kinetic, human-scale interfaces which seek to create diversions within the sonic context of a location.
live: sequencing instrument
Music performance software, with Ableton, 2001-3
Recipient of numerous, international industry awards. From the Live website: "Ableton Live is the music-production solution that allows you to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise and edit your musical ideas. Live brings your acoustic, electronic and virtual instruments, as well as your digital audio recordings, together in a single interface with unparalleled ease of use."
Yon led colleagues at Ableton in the software development of core musical signal processing algorithms underlying the Live granular time- and pitch-elastic audio playback engine, also writing most of the effects which were introduced in Live 2 and Live 3, including the acclaimed reverb, compressors, and various other components.
Software reviewed and lauded by myriad computer music publications (Computer Music Journal, Electronic Musician, Computer Music, Mix, Keyboard, Keys, and many others). Demo versions of Live for Windows XP and Mac OS X have been included with this documentation, or can be downloaded from the Live website.
txoom: responsive environment and ecology
Interactive playspace, with FoAM, 2002-3.
txoom moves away from the static representations of art and culture and invites its visitors to actively take part in the environment's growth and transformation, thereby shaping their synaesthetic experiences. New meaning is created in the interstices of babble, sensory confusion and comprehension, creating a plurality of voices. txoom as word, concept, sonic and visual imprint, tactile and physical sensation, and responsive environment unfolds as you go along, accumulating meaning, yet never fixating it.
The result is an interactive and performative playspace permitting gestural control over media, and exploiting wearable sensing networks, active materials, and spaces composed of real-time responsive light, graphics, and sound.
Installations at Biennale Giovannese di Torino (Italy), the Hippodrome Circus building (Great Yarmouth, England). Event hosting and DVD publishing by KIBLA ( Maribor, Slovenia). Collaboration with Time's Up (Linz, Austria).
Syncoptic: Unstable Reality
responsive environment, with Karmen Franinovic and Evelina Kusaite, FoAM Brussels, 2003
An augmented space made of sound and space gaps, loci of light and darkness, invites players to interact with the each other through light dynamics and spatial sound, and to discover a space articulated by a multiplicity of constellations, in an innocent game. The floor on which the players walk, a surface stretched across a thick body of water, lends a critical instability to the boundaries of the physical space which, together with the low visibility, slows down every movement. This apparent space of nothing incorporates the player into its expanding and solidifying reality. A luminous transitional tube is extended from the gallery into the surrounding urban space, effecting a region of transformation of the private into the public.
Exhibited as part of the Illumine series at FoAM, Brussels, Belgium.
TGarden: augmented social playspace
TGarden is an interdisciplinary project exploring methods of artistic expression and social interaction in mixed reality. It is a responsive playspace, in which the visitor is invited to move in an improvisational, experimental, and playful manner, evoking a meaning-rich and evolving environment of moving image, sound, and light.
eerm: state dynamics for responsive media
Evolutionary dynamics for responsive design
The software provides a general-purpose choreography system for responsive design, based on a continuous dynamics within a topologically general state space. This approach allows designers of responsive media to specify complex media dynamics in a way that is idomatically concise and expressive, encoding the delicate set of relations between the interactions of the users of such systems and the character of the range of responses that are elicited.
Download evolutionary environmental response model ("eerm") software here. Requirements: Mac OS X, Cycling'74 Max 4 or higher.
Imaginary acoustic environments
Noncommutative geometry is a compelling framework unifying geometry, algebra, and quantization. Whereas the objects of classical differential geometry may be visualized by means of an embedding in a (flat) Euclidean space of an appropriate dimension, no such visualization exists, in general, for noncommutative, or "quantum" spaces.
The pursuit of alternate representations leads to an unusual problem in the simulated acoustics of the fantastical - that of embedding sounds in virtual, quantum spaces. The techniques employed may be understood as quantum modifications of standard signal processing operations.
Research, software, and sound examples presented at the symposium Sound in Space, CREATE, UCSB, 2000. Suggested listening: the reverberation of footsteps in a (synthetic) quantum room:

By: C. Wade, M. Kallupi, D. Hernandez, et al.
Researchers are evaluating electrical stimulation of subcortical structures as a possible treatment for a number of neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and severe depression. In small clinical trials, high-frequency electrical stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN HFS) has reduced obsessive-compulsive disorder and other compulsive behaviors. Those findings suggest that STN HFS might help people with addiction overcome urges to take drugs.
To explore that possibility, Drs. Carrie L. Wade and Oliver George and colleagues at the Scripps Research Institute administered STN HFS to rats while exposing the animals to experimental protocols that elicit behaviors that are analogous to human opioid use. Their results suggest that STN HFS may:
Reduce heroin’s reinforcing effect: Rats pressed a lever to self-administer heroin less often when receiving STN HFS than in an untreated condition. The reduction in lever pressing resulted in lower heroin intake when receiving STN HFS, and indicates that the rats experienced heroin’s reinforcing effect less strongly when receiving STN HFS Prevent the rapid relapse to heavy opioid use that typically occurs when a person is reintroduced to the drug after a period of abstinence: Rats that received STN HFS escalated heroin self-administration less rapidly than control animals after a period without access to the drug.
Dr. Wade says, “We conclude that deep brain electrical stimulation (DBS) may be an effective strategy for treating people with severe opioid use disorder, particularly patients for whom behavioral and pharmacological treatments have failed.” The technique’s invasiveness will make it less apt, however, for use in patients with less intractable addiction. DBS electrical pulses are administered through micro-electrodes that are surgically placed in the brain. Moreover, multiple DBS sessions might be required to maintain a successful outcome.
The mechanisms whereby DBS may produce therapeutic effects remain ill-defined. Drs. Wade and George and colleagues used immunohistochemistry and electrophysiology to assess the effect of STN HFS on neuronal activity in rats. They found that their STN HFS regimen reduced neuronal activity in various brain regions and increased it in others. Activity declined in the nucleus accumbens shell, a region that mediates the reward value of drugs, and increased in the prefrontal cortex, a center of control over impulsive behaviors (see Figure 2).
Dr. Wade says, “These results identify novel targets for DBS and also may facilitate the development of noninvasive brain-stimulation techniques that can target these brain regions.” One such noninvasive technique, transcranial magnetic stimulation, has shown potential as a treatment for cocaine dependence.
Further studies are needed to establish whether DBS will have clinical utility as a treatment for drug dependence and, if so, in what circumstances. Drs. Wade and George note that animal studies such as theirs cannot model all of the various factors that can lead human patients to drop out of treatment or relapse after having achieved abstinence. Nevertheless, says Dr. George, “Although DBS is invasive compared with other forms of treatment, such as medication-assisted treatment, replacement therapy, behavioral therapy, and behavioral modification, it may represent a viable alternative for patients who are at high risk of overdose and for whom other treatments have failed.”
The study was supported by NIH grant DA029821.

Nail fungus infection which is also known as onychomycosis is a kind of fungal infection that affects the toenails and fingernails. Fungal infections may be caused by various kinds of yeasts, molds, and fungi that are not the same as bacteria. This type of infection may affect any part of the nail or even the nail itself and what’s underneath it as well as the cuticles. Toenail infections are often not painful but the problem lies in the way they can disrupt the normal growth of the nail and change its appearance into something unsightly. Fungal nail infections are contagious, and they often affect those people who have compromised immune systems. Washing your hands regularly and not sharing intimate items like towels and even nail clippers with others can help prevent this type of infection.
7What causes nail fungal infections?
The most common type of fungi that can cause nail fungal infections is dermatophytes. These are fungal microorganisms that are too tiny to see with the naked eye. These feed off keratin which is a protein substance that makes your nails hard. It can also be seen in your scalp and hair. Yeasts and molds can also cause nail fungus infections.

Following the Japan team’s fantastic performance against Belgium, even after elimination my Japanese colleagues are still going crazy for the World Cup. For foreign people living here, this can be a great chance to get your coworkers to open up as even people who don’t know a defender from a striker will be quite happy to discuss at great length Japan’s second goal against Columbia, whether they should have beaten their Senegalese opponents in the second match or the infamous last 10 minutes of the game with Poland.
While there is no shortage of people who are willing to talk about football, one of the tricky things for Japanese learners is mastering some of the terms associated with the sport. Some of it is decidedly English, but some of the language uses uniquely Japanese concepts.
Fortunately, as the sport has British origins, a lot of the terms are taken from the English language. While “football-is-football” stalwarts like myself may not like the fact the sport is called サッカー (soccer) over here (or in Canada and the United States), the British influence is clearly seen in words like ゴール (goal), シュート (shoot), フェイント (feint), オウンゴール (own goal) and many other terms.
Similarly, the names for the positions are also taken from English. A チーム (team) usually consists of フォワード or ストライカー (forwards or strikers), ディフェンダー (defenders), ゴールキーパー or キーパー (goalkeeper) and ミッドフィールダー (midfielders).
While the names of most positions are pretty straightforward, one of the strange 和製英語, or quasi-English, words that took me by surprise was the abbreviation スタメン. What’s confusing about this word is that it doesn’t describe the star players (サッカースター or スタープレイヤー) but instead the starting line-up of the squad. For the longest time, whenever I heard スタメン, I assumed that there must be 11 star players on both sides!
While so far most of these words have been similar to English, there are a few Japanese words to talk about your team, as well. You refer to 選手 for the players in general and 控え選手 for the substitutes. Then there are the important non-players such as the 主審 (head referee, however レフェリー is becoming more common), head coach (監督), coaches (コーチ) and, of course, the 観客, the spectators themselves.
Some of it is decidedly English, but some of the language uses uniquely Japanese concepts.
All of these players will be trying to win the intriguingly over-abbreviated W杯 (the Japanese word for the World Cup). Similarly to English the 杯-kanji here is the literal character for “cup” — the drinking vessel. While W杯 might seem like a massive abbreviation, it is mostly used due to the problem of trying to fit the incredibly long word FIFA ワールドカップ into the tiny spaces allowed by most headlines in newspapers and magazines. A similar common abbreviated phrase often used in headlines is W杯熱 for “World Cup fever.” The kanji 熱 literally means the high body temperature that one gets from an illness!
The tournament itself is divided into two parts, the グループリーグ or グループステージ stages or pools followed by group of 16 決勝トーナメント (elimination round). Anyone wanting to find out when their team is playing in each of these stages needs to check out the 試合日程 (game schedule).
So how do you talk about the fates of all the teams in the 決勝トーナメント? One word that learners will come across a lot is 敗北, or a loss. Of course, not all losses are equal and one of the more interesting terms that I came across in the world cup was 楽勝, or an easy victory. Intriguingly, this term was associated with the opinions of most Belgians before Japan surprised them by taking one of the favorites all the way to the final minute of the match!
Of course, 楽勝 and 敗北 come from 得点 or スコア (scoring) more or less goals that the other side. Of course, not all scoring is equal, as anyone thrilled with Ronaldo’s amazing comeback against Spain will be familiar with the word 同点 ゴール (an equalizing goal). This may result in a ドロー or 引き分け (a draw) or an even more thrilling game — a 逆転勝利 (come-from-behind victory).
Regardless of your level of enthusiasm for the World Cup, it can be worth knowing a few soccer words even if it is just to express your lack of interest. Who knows? With the final this weekend you just may find yourself with a sudden case of W杯熱!
What are some of your favorite Japanese words to use when watching World Cup games in Japan? Let other readers know in the comments!

You could lose concentration for a couple of seconds; that is greater than sufficient time for TzTok-Jad to deal a fatal blow. It is beneficial that you simply make your self as snug and calm as possible in order to not lose focus, since just one mistake could get you killed. If Jad spawns able the place he cannot assault you, you should in all probability take advantage of the time that it provides you in order to settle down and only assault when you are prepared.
- Last however not least, the Stamina potions will hold you mild on your feet — as you’re more likely to be relocating a good bit in the course of the battle.
- Once players manage to defeat TzTok-Jad they are going to be rewarded with the much-coveted fireplace cape together with eight,032 Tokkul .
- Full Guthan’s with Protect from Melee activated if needed can be used to heal you as long as any main threat, such as the 360, is vanquished.
- Waves 1-30 are wonderful for healing and Meleeing at excessive Combat level, but Waves may also be used to heal offered the 360 is killed first.
This gives the player time to go into the Prayer tab and activate the required prayer, and shortly run from the centre of the room to a safespot if need be before the monsters spawn. This is usually not too dangerous though it is considerably risky, so it’s at all times higher to stay logged in whereas within the caves except completely essential. Consider using proselyte armour at the side of blessed dragonhide armour to maximise prayer bonus and scale back incoming injury from Tok-Xil. If proselyte armour is not available to you, use blessed hides or rune. check website If you select to prioritise ranged assault over ranged defence, it is recommended that you simply use the above stock somewhat than the one beneath.
Last however not least, the Stamina potions will maintain you mild on your toes — as you’re more likely to be relocating a fair bit through the battle. Use the Saradomin brews to heal, offset with the Super restore potions, and hold yourself within the battle. In line with the unique logic of the monsters in the Fight Caves , TzTok-Jad should have had a fight stage of 720 (Ket-Zek has a combat level of 360). Read more about Miscellania best profit here and make more money in Old School RunenScape. However, because the hitpoint restrict was 255 when TzTok-Jad was launched, he could not have 320 hitpoints (the double of Ket-Zek’s 160 hitpoints).
The fireplace cape is untradeable, so it’s a very clear symbol to other players that the player has defeated this mighty foe. The fireplace cape, infernal cape and their cosmetically enhanced variants, the hearth max cape and infernal max cape respectively, are the only capes to have an animation. Tzrek-jad drop price is 1/a hundred if TzTok-Jad is killed while on a TzHaar slayer task. TzTok-Jad is the boss monster of the TzHaar Fight Cave minigame, so he is the final monster you will want to defeat, and he is encountered on Wave 63. Players can pay one hundred slayer reward factors to have Duradel, Nieve, or Chaeldar assign TzHaar as a slayer assignment. When players have TzHaar as a slayer task, they will be prompted with an option to be assigned 1 TzTok-Jad.
Playing this exercise until the top takes a substantial period of time and sources, requiring normally 2 hours of continuous playing and a considerable number of potions. The time taken to complete the waves may be an annoyance for prime-levelled players that persistently fail to activate the right safety Prayer in the ultimate wave. While skilled players can take less than half an hour to succeed in Jad, novices and those with low Ranged levels would possibly battle and take several hours to reach Jad. After TzHaar-Mej-Jal comes on the display screen and says the TzTok-Jad has spawned, from expertise, it usually begins by attacking with range, so put on protect from ranged. You can strive having auto retaliate on and see if yow will discover the TzTok-Jad faster or not, typically it helps, and different instances it does not if you cannot find him immediately.

At age 6, Katie Shirley (pictured above) just might be the youngest local family farmer, as well as the most adorable, in America. Katie, who's parents own Jupiter Farms in Jupiter Farms, Florida, and her three siblings, ages 4 -to- 12, have their own farm on the family plot. That local foods' producing farm is called Veggie Kids Farm. The four young local family farmers sell their vegetables at the farm and the local green market. They also give their neighbors some of their overflow, since the kids are said to have not only cultivated bumper crops of vegetables at their local farm but green thumbs as well. (Photo: Allen Eyestone. Courtesy: The Post.)
Natural~Specialty Foods Memo Editor's Note: The local foods movement is booming in Florida in the United States, according to an article in today's Palm Beach Post newspaper, which is based in Palm Beach, Florida.
According to the piece, three major factors are driving the growth of the local foods' movement in the state: the soaring cost of food, the seemingly never-ending gasoline price hikes, and a concern on the part of consumers over the safety of the food they eat, especially that from far away.
Sighting one example of the growing popularity of locally-grown fresh produce in Florida, the Palm Beach Post story sites the fact membership in the Florida chapter of Local Harvest, the Santa Cruz, California-based "grow-local, buy local" foods organization has jumped to 250 members this year, from just 68 in 2004. Local Harvest members include farmers' markets, local family farmers, local food purveyors, and food stores and restaurants which sell locally-grown foods, among other businesses and groups.
U.S. membership in the Local Harvest local foods support organization has tripled in the last four years, from a mere 5,413 farmers and local foods-oriented businesses and organizations, to 13, 740 at present, according to Guillermo Payet, the founder and president of Local Harvest based in the Northern California coastal city of Santa Cruz.
Florida, the Sunshine State, is fourth behind California, Texas and New York in population, with about 19 million residents.
It's not called the Sunshine State for nothing. One of the most productive agricultural states in the U.S., Florida produces 75% of all the oranges consumed and used to make orange juice in the U.S., and supplies nearly 40% of the world's orange juice via its orange crop, for example.
the weather and soil in most of the state is conducive and welcoming for small farmers to produce lots of local fresh fruits and vegetables, which is another reason the local foods movement is growing so much in the Sunshine State.
Read the article, "Demand booms for local produce as fuel prices, safety concerns increase," in today's issue of the Palm Beach Post here.
What the piece reports on and discusses regarding the boom in local foods in Florida echoes what's happening across the U.S., from giant California, rainy Washington State and the Empire state of New York, to nearby New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and smaller states like Montana and Vermont, along with so many others.
Locally-grown and buying locally is hot in the U.S. just like it is in Western Europe and Australia for example at the moment. We think its a trend and not a mere fad.
Retailers who ignore the local foods movement do so at their own peril, in our analysis. Food marketers that aren't yet getting involved in the local foods movement if they are able to also are missing the boat we believe.
The good news is that since it's a solid trend rather than just a fad, there's still time for both retailers and marketers not involved in local foods marketing and merchandising to get involoved. But remember, like in all business activities, there is an advantage to being a first-mover.

Upcoming HTC Bolt With 18MP Rear Camera Also Removes The 3.5mm Earphone Jack Show Leaked Images
Customary of nearly every launch, Apple's iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus witnessed their fair share of criticism. Some of this was justified, as Cupertino really has dropped the ball when it comes to design and display upgrades. It'll be three years since any major design upgrade for the iPhone in 2017. For a company that's based its portfolio on this mantra, such lethargy is shameful. Another feature, or rather lack of, on the pair was the absence of the 3.5mm earphone jack on the iPhone. Looks like more companies have started to follow suit in this direction. Take a look below to find out more.
Images For The Upcoming HTC Bolt Suggest No Earphone Jack For Device Either
While the industry loves to focus on flagship smartphones, there are a lot of other great devices out there as well. In terms of design, HTC is one manufacturer that's got a good grip on things. The company's recent Pixel and Pixel XL devices bear testament to this fact. Before them, the HTC 10 and other devices also feature elegant simplicity while remaining uncompromising towards necessary functionality.
Some latest images of the upcoming HTC Bolt suggest a similar approach this year as well. Taking a look at these, the device blends form and simplicity quite efficiently. A rigid approach for the rear, with both the camera sensor and HTC logo placed at the center create a strong contrast with its overall minimalism. Yet, it isn't these features that have caught our eye. Rather, it's the absence of the 3.5mm earphone jack which is the device's most striking feature.
Apple's decision to remove the earphone jack on the iPhone seems to be catching on. We've heard rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S8 won't feature the extension either. Rather, the Korean tech giant might utilize Type-C connectivity for audio extensions. The HTC Bolt will use similar features according to today's information. Another company to remove the 3.5mm jack is Motorola, with the latest Moto Z launches. Other specifications for the Bolt are fingerprint recognition, a 5.5 inch FHD display and 3GB of RAM.
The rear camera for the device will have a resolution of 18MP and aperture width f/2.0. It'll also be able to record at 4K. The front camera will feature an 8MP sensor and the device will carry 64GB of internal storage. Alongside Micro-SD support, the device will also offer HTC's trademark BoomSound. BoomSound will only be supported through headphones though. Thoughts? Do you agree with company's foregoing 3.5mm earphone connectivity for their devices? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned for the latest.
