SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — President Obama, sending another strong signal that he intends to make the White House more business-friendly, named a high-profile corporate executive on Friday as his chief outside economic adviser, continuing his efforts to show more focus on job creation and reclaim the political center.
Here in the birthplace of General Electric, Mr. Obama introduced the new appointee, Jeffrey R. Immelt, the company's chairman and chief executive officer, who will serve as chairman of his outside panel of economic advisers. Mr. Immelt succeeds Paul A. Volcker, the former Federal Reserve chairman, who is stepping down.
The selection of Mr. Immelt, who was at Mr. Obama's side during his trip to India last year, and again this week during the visit of President Hu Jintao of China, is the latest in a string of pro-business steps taken by the president. He has installed William M. Daley, a former JPMorgan Chase executive, as his chief of staff; is planning a major speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce next month; and just this week ordered federal agencies to review regulations with an eye toward eliminating some.
Together, the moves amount to a carefully choreographed shift in strategy for the White House, both substantively and on the public relations front. Mr. Obama has started making the case that the United States has moved past economic crisis mode and is entering "a new phase of our recovery," which demands an emphasis on job creation.
And with corporate profits healthy again, the president has begun engaging business leaders more on what it will take for them to start investing again in new plants and equipment and stepping up hiring.
As he moves into the second half of his term and lays the foundation for his 2012 re-election campaign, Mr. Obama is trying to frame the national conversation on the economy around this crisis-to-job-creation narrative. Republicans, who have spent their first weeks of the new Congress talking about repealing Mr. Obama's health care bill and cutting federal spending, have given the president an opening to do so.
The themes the president struck here, on competitiveness and the turning point in the economy, are expected to be at the heart of the State of the Union address he will deliver Tuesday.
"The past two years were about pulling our economy back from the brink," Mr. Obama said, standing against the backdrop of a huge generator in a well-lighted plant, with a giant American flag hanging from the ceiling.
It is not clear how much substantive influence Mr. Immelt's new role will give him. Under Mr. Volcker, the panel met relatively infrequently, and Mr. Volcker at times appeared frustrated by a lack of access to the inner circles of White House decision-making.
The appointment of Mr. Immelt, who will retain his posts at G.E., is not without complications for Mr. Obama. G.E., one of the nation's largest companies, routinely has a wide variety of regulatory, trade, contracting and other issues before the federal government, on matters as varied as television mergers, military hardware and environmental cleanup.
During the 2008 financial crisis, the Federal Reserve provided $16.1 billion to General Electric by buying short-term corporate i.o.u.'s from the company at a time when the public market for such debt had nearly frozen. Having the chief executive of such a company advising the White House on job creation at a time when Mr. Obama is assuming a more deregulatory posture could further alienate liberals and be seen as undermining the White House's commitment to reducing the influence of lobbyists and special interests.
Another complicating factor is union uneasiness about outsourcing by G.E. Officials at the United Electrical Workers Union say the company has closed 29 plants in the United States and one in Canada in the past two years, eliminating more than 3,000 jobs.
But Gary Sheffer, a General Electric spokesman, said the company has also been shifting operations back to the United States, and has added 6,000 jobs in this country, for a net increase. For example, Mr. Sheffer said, G.E. is moving all of its refrigerator manufacturing business back to the United States. He said 60 percent of G.E.'s revenues come from outside the country.
At the same time, G.E.'s exports have roughly doubled in the past five years, which makes the company a good showcase for a president who is trying to promote trade and exports as a way to repair the battered economy. Exports were a major theme of the president's India trip and the state visit by President Hu; Mr. Immelt was among the business leaders who attended a high-level meeting with Mr. Hu, as well as the state dinner at the White House on Wednesday.
General Electric is benefiting from Mr. Obama's emphasis on exports. When the president was in Mumbai, he announced a string of deals involving American companies, including a $750 million order from Reliance Power Ltd., in Samalkot, India, for steam turbines manufactured by G.E. Those turbines will be made here in Schenectady, a point Mr. Obama drove home in his remarks.
The change in the council's name is intended to signify a shift in White House focus. It will be a reconfigured version of the board that Mr. Volcker led, the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, of which Mr. Immelt was a member.
That body, created by Mr. Obama when he took office in the thick of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, is set to expire Feb. 6.

Is there an airshow fan alive who doesn't know the legendary Bob Hoover?
Debbie Gary
Bob Hoover, center, enjoying a day at the Oshkosh airshow with two other legends, Chuck Yeager, left, and Clarence "Bud" Anderson.
Update: Bob Hoover died on October 25, 2016 at the age of 94 near his home in Southern California. The story reflects this update.
THE FIRST TIME I saw Bob Hoover fly I was a new show pilot standing next to the great Curtis Pitts and hoping for words of wisdom. It was March 1972, and Pitts and I were watching the airplane he created perform at Miami's Tamiami Airport. The sky was a frenzy of tiny Pitts Specials panting through snap rolls and outside loops. It was noisy, and Pitts said nothing during the performance. Even after the airplanes landed and Hoover taxied out, Pitts was quiet—until Hoover, on takeoff, rolled the twin-engine Shrike Commander. It was as graceful and fluid as a cat stretching its back. The show tempo shifted from salsa to whipped cream. Pitts turned and grinned at me. "Have you ever seen anything so smooth?" he asked.
For the next 20 minutes, we watched North American Rockwell's big, beautiful cross-country transport flow through giant loops and vertical climbs, four-point rolls and half Cuban eights. Two engines roared, then only one, but the airplane kept dancing. When the second engine stopped, the roar became a glider's whoosh. The airplane swept past in a deadstick loop, followed by an eight-point roll, then waltzed down to the landing: LEFT two-three, RIGHT two-three, LEFT two-three—the wings banked steeply as one tire kissed the runway, skated, rolled, then lifted as the wings banked the other way, and that wheel skated, rolled…. "Now that's flying," Pitts said to me as Hoover, still without power, maneuvered up the runway and onto the taxiway, stopped precisely at show center, then climbed out in his business suit and waved his straw hat at the cheering crowd.
That Shrike and a bright yellow North American P-51 Mustang he called "Ole Yeller" were Hoover's signature showplanes, and he flew them all over the world. But they represent only two of the more than 300 types of aircraft he flew, many of those in aerobatic demonstrations. In 1938, when he was 16, he flew his first show, entertaining his family with a Piper J-3 Cub. By the end of his career, 62 years later, he had flown more shows for more people than anyone else in history.
"He was the one that everyone wanted," veteran airshow announcer Danny Clisham says. "He was able to take four distinctly different airplanes in one day and make them all dance in a different way from any other airplane."
Bob Hoover stands next to the Shrike Commander in the National Air and Space Museum.
Even this past show season, he was still in demand. Through a speaker's bureau, he entertained audiences with stories revealing a skill so uncanny that it enabled him to perform low-level aerobatic demonstrations in dozens of types of airplanes the first time he flew them. Once, in Moscow, he was arrested for doing that because he upstaged the Soviet pilots in their own Yak-18s. During World War II, as a military test pilot evaluating aircraft delivered to bases in North Africa, Hoover entertained his fellow airmen by improvising an aerobatic routine in a newly arrived Lockheed P-38. Perhaps his most famous first-flight story takes place at the end of the war: After spending almost 16 months in a German prisoner-of-war camp, Hoover escaped, found a Fw 190, hopped in, and flew it to Holland.
After graduating from Army flight training in 1941, Hoover flew everything he could get his hands on. "Hell, I would fly an old Dodge truck if they put wings on the side," he wrote in his autobiography, Forever Flying. He had such confidence and curiosity that he learned things about airplanes other pilots hadn't figured out, such as why the Bell P-39 Airacobra tumbled—and how to recover when it did. In the 1950s, while he was working as an experimental test pilot for North American Aviation, he developed a dive- bombing technique for the F-86 Sabre and traveled to Korea to demonstrate the maneuver for pilots flying combat missions. He also taught them how to take off with heavy loads and from short runways. There had been several fatal crashes in the Sabrejet, and Hoover's demonstrations, by several accounts, saved many lives.
Still at North American when the company sold the Air Force the supersonic F-100, Hoover flew a demo for the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds that convinced the team that the Super Sabre would be the perfect airplane for them.
Even with so many aircraft in his logbook, Hoover said he still regrets the one that got away: The Bell X-1S, and the 1947 flight that broke the sound barrier. He and Chuck Yeager were test pilots together at the Air Technical Service Command at Ohio's Wright Field when Yeager was chosen for the flight. Hoover was picked as his backup. He has always said that what cost him the spot was getting caught that year making two inverted passes in a Lockheed P-80 at an Ohio airport.
He and Yeager were good friends, dogfighting over Wright Field every chance they got. Yeager recalled the period in his 1985 autobiography: "In January 1946, the skies over Wright Field were finally quiet. That's because Bob Hoover and I were sitting in class at the test pilot school on base, taking a six-month course."
As a test pilot, already famous for flying, Hoover became doubly famous for surviving: Engines exploding, ejection seats failing, wings buckling, control rods burning through, and rockets firing through the nose of an F-86 he was flying—all could have been fatal. In many of the incidents, the airplanes should have crashed, but thanks to Hoover's luck and exceptional talent, he almost always got the aircraft back on the ground. In November 1950, assigned to test a new kind of F-86 control system, Hoover took off from Los Angeles, and the system immediately failed. The F-86 nose pitched straight up, and the airplane stalled and spun toward the runway. Thinking back on the incident today, Hoover says he thought to himself, "Oh boy, this is really going to hurt." The controls were stiff as concrete, but he began to work with what he could move: the rudder, throttle, speed brakes, and flaps. "I kept trying to find the sweet spot where the forces are exactly the same on the top and bottom of the horizontal stabilizer," he said.
For the next 40 minutes, he struggled to keep the airplane in that sweet spot. A number of times he almost crashed. But he was able to wrestle the F-86 inland to an 11-mile-long dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base in California.
In 1994, when he was 72, Hoover fought another kind of threat. Federal Air Surgeon Jon L. Jordan revoked his medical certificate, an action that suspended his solo flying privileges. Friends, fans, doctors, lawyers, and show pilots all over the world rallied to protest. Later, Jordan wrote, "Possibly in the entire history of the conduct of the airman medical certification program, no one decision has created more controversy." On October 19, 1995, the Federal Aviation Administration reinstated Hoover's medical.
In the interim, he passed the medical and flying tests for an airline transport rating in Australia and flew the Shrike Commander in shows there, but for several years "Ole Yeller" sat without him. The P-51 Mustang is famous for the torque of its 1,425-horsepower engine. When the pilot pushes the throttle forward on takeoff, or banks the airplane steeply for a knife-edge, or gives the fighter full power while its speed drops, it takes strong legs and lots of rudder to hold the nose straight. During his siege with the FAA, Hoover's leg muscles took a holiday from the 40 years they had been fighting the P-51's torque. After the hiatus, he flew "Ole Yeller" at Nevada's Reno Air Races in 1996, a year after he got his medical back. "When I landed, everybody said, 'That was the best flight you ever made,' '' Hoover recalled. "Colleen, my wife said, 'I bet you'll never sell that airplane now.' "I said, 'On the contrary. That was my last flight in the Mustang.' My knees were hurting so bad that I knew the time had come where I couldn't handle the torque. I broke both legs during an accident in my test flying career and they had gotten much worse with age, so I had been taking lots of exercise to get my knees more strength. The torque with the Mustang is really enormous, and when you're doing a knife edge, flying close to the ground, you boot the rudder even harder. It got my knees hurting so bad that when I landed, I couldn't get out of the cockpit."
Hoover sold the Mustang to John Bagley, founder of the Legacy Flight Museum in Rexburg, Idaho, who still flies it at airshows. In 2000, Hoover donated his Shrike to the National Air and Space Museum.
Hoover had flown the P-51 as the official pace plane of the National Championship Air Races from the very first race, in 1964, until 1990, and race fans loved him.
"At the Reno Air Races," says Danny Clisham, "he performed in four different airplanes, flew the pace plane, warmed up the crowd before the race, and entertained them [after the last race] when the Unlimiteds were landing. In four days, he would make 28 different flights."
That stamina had been Hoover's trademark from the beginning. His boyhood dream was to be a fighter pilot, but when he paid $2 for his first 15-minute lesson, he discovered something horrible: Flying made him airsick. For almost a year, every flight nauseated him. When he finally got to fly solo, he chose an unusual course and it has defined his life. He decided to loop, roll, and spin the Piper Cub until his stomach was conditioned. It worked. By the time he got to Army Air Corps training, he was the best aerobatic pilot anyone had seen, and it set the course for his one-of-kind flying career.

CADF objects to UCI discussions with International Testing Agency
By Cyclingnews
Independent body decries decision being taken to use rival agency without stakeholder input
(Image credit: www.ispaphoto.com)
The Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation (CADF), the independent testing agency set up by the UCI in 2008 following a spate of high-profile doping scandals, has raised objections to the UCI's decision to explore a collaboration with the International Testing Agency (ITA).
The UCI announced earlier this month that its Management Committee had decided to "look into the possibility of working with the International Testing Agency (ITA) on anti-doping" but that it would "make sure CADF's expertise is preserved regardless of the outcome of the discussions".
The press release specifically called out Operation Aderlass, the Austrian investigation that uncovered a blood-doping ring allegedly carried out by former Milram doctor Mark Schmidt. Five Nordic skiiers as well as Georg Preidler (Groupama-FDJ), Stefan Denifl (who signed with the CCC Team but dissolved his contract before the 2019 season started), Bahrain-Merida's Kristijan Koren and Borut Bozic and former pro Alessandro Petacchi were all sanctioned following the investigation.
The UCI's press release stated that "it is obliged to consider all available means for ensuring and enhancing protection for clean cyclists" and that "recent developments such as the Aderlass investigation show one more time that doping knows no boundaries, neither between sports nor countries".
In the same announcement, the UCI said that CADF director Francesca Rossi's departure was unrelated to the discussion about using the ITA.
On Friday, the CADF board issued an open letter decrying the UCI's decision, stating "Since its foundation in 2008, and vitally its independence in 2013, the CADF has been recognised as one of world's most comprehensive, innovative, efficient and credible anti-doping organisations", adding that it "manages one of the most comprehensive anti-doping programmes globally, conducting more tests than any other Olympic Sport organisation".
The CADF said that they were surprised that the proposed ITA collaboration was taken without the input of cycling's stakeholders, many of whom have funded the CADF's activities over the past decade, and are concerned that going with an agency that handles many sports could mean cycling would get a smaller share of the anti-doping funds and resources.
"The work of the CADF is carried out on behalf of the cycling community and is funded by the community, guaranteeing that the resources are being used appropriately for the sport of cycling while maintaining continuous dialogue with all stakeholders, teams and organisers. With a different governance model for anti-doping, the same assurances on fund control and allocation for cycling cannot necessarily be given," they wrote.
The CADF is largely funded by the top men's road teams. Its 2018 financial statement showed it had collected over 15,000 doping controls, the majority in men's pro road cycling. In 2018 the teams paid over 5.5 million CHF into the CADF, with the UCI contributing 1.262 million CHF and the rest of the funds coming from race organisers.
The ITA was founded by the IOC, receiving a 4.78 million CHF donation from the Olympic Movement in 2018 and taking in 1.3 million in accounts receivables. It only began activities in June of 2018 and has similar objectives to the CADF, including testing in and out of competition, the use of intelligence to combat doping, collection of samples for the biological passport and tracking athlete whereabouts using ADAMS.
On Monday, Jumbo-Visma manager Richard Plugge voiced his support of the CADF on Twitter, writing "Very concerned about this idea (without consultation of the main stakeholders) by @UCI_cycling. Cycling has been a frontrunner in the world of sports for many years now on this topic. We should be very cautious with changes."
The UCI said the CADF would remain in control of cycling's anti-doping activities through the 2020 season, but the results of its discussion with the ITA would be announced at the Management Committee meeting at the 2020 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Dübendorf, Switzerland in February 2020.
CADF Open Letter
Board of the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation
To the Global Cycling Community
Oslo, 25th October 2019
Future of the fight against doping in cycling
Dear Cyclists, Friends, Colleagues,
As we are sure many of you are aware, in recent days there has been an unprecedented challenge to the future work of the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation (CADF) in the global fight against doping in the sport of cycling.
Over the last ten years, cycling has worked hard to improve its reputation and distance itself from some of the scandals that blighted the sport in the past. This is in large part a result of the hard work carried out by the CADF. Since its foundation in 2008, and vitally its independence in 2013, the CADF has been recognised as one of world's most comprehensive, innovative, efficient and credible anti-doping organisations.
Many have looked at the practices and procedures employed by the CADF, under its ISO 9001 certification, as a benchmark for their own work, as CADF manages one of the most comprehensive anti-doping programmes globally, conducting more tests than any other Olympic Sport organisation. It has built an intelligence and investigations unit that is equipped to act effectively on information received, handle case management according to clear processes and manage a whistleblowing system.
It has taken a significant period of time, investment and expertise to establish the credibility that CADF enjoys globally, operating to the highest levels of integrity. The work of the CADF is carried out on behalf of the cycling community and is funded by the community, guaranteeing that the resources are being used appropriately for the sport of cycling while maintaining continuous dialogue with all stakeholders, teams and organisers. With a different governance model for anti-doping, the same assurances on fund control and allocation for cycling cannot necessarily be given.
Such a change would reverse the trend being applied by other sport federations such as International Tennis Federation, World Athletics and International Biathlon Union, to name a few, who have recognised the importance of having dedicated independent bodies in place to protect
the integrity of their respective sports for the management of issues including doping, match fixing etc. They are following the CADF model already established for this purpose.
As a result of the news published by the UCI in recent days, some of you may be wondering why there should be an analysis being made by the UCI to investigate future collaboration with the International Testing Agency (ITA). We of course cannot underestimate the constantly evolving landscape that exists in sport, but it nevertheless comes as a surprise to us that such a decision would be initiated without a comprehensive consultation period with the cycling community. In any case, it must be the cycling community to make a decision, which needs to be based on facts and reason, and not rushed.
While we take nothing away from the work of the ITA, which is already benefiting some sports organisations, and Major Event Organisers (MEO), the CADF is without doubt best positioned to continue to serve anti-doping in cycling with the dedication, expertise and integrity that have been the foundation of its work since its establishment. The organisation possesses full knowledge of the sport across all disciplines and is led by a team of highly competent experts in their field who produce outstanding results, as recognised by UCI itself.
We invest significantly in all our programmes, including intelligence and investigations and the athlete biological passport, with dedicated staff and innovative tools at our disposal, across each area. The CADF has always engaged with its stakeholders to ensure that it delivers the best for the sport. The team has established excellent relationships with all cycling stakeholders and has established real credibility not only throughout the cycling community but globally with The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and National Anti-Doping Agencies and relevant national law enforcement authorities, as was the case for the work of the CADF with the Aderlass issue.
The CADF has worked tirelessly to create a solid foundation and instill confidence by cycling's stakeholders in its work, for the protection of the sport. The position of the UCI has been made public with a timeline having been identified for its assessments. A decision on the future of the cycling anti-doping programme could be made in February 2020.
However, with a possibility of changes, it is now up to the cycling community to assess whether the risk of change is for the good of the sport. We want the community to have its voice heard about the future of anti-doping in its sport, and we invite any interested party to contact us at any time via email at christophe.misteli@cadf.ch, CADF Board Secretary. We are ready to listen to your concerns and suggestions as we continue to work hard for the benefit of cycling.

While all big search engines, including Google, track your online activities; these smaller search engines can help if search privacy is of high importance to you.
Google is the world's largest search engine and the lifeline of Internet. It's hard to beat Google's search algorithms that can answer lots of your queries instantly. But privacy of user has been an issue with most of the large internet companies. And Google is no exception.
SEE ALSO: What is "Do Not Track"?
Google tracks your search history, your online behavior and a lot of your activities on internet. Google not only uses this information to fine-tune its ad serving algorithms but it may be pushed by the governments in disclosing users' web tracks.
While searching, if hiding your tracks is an important concern for you, we suggest the following alternative search engines.
StartPage is one of the many search engines that actually do a Google search on your behalf. StartPage is not a real search engine because it does not crawl internet, index webpages and return results from its own databases. It simply takes your query, send it to Google, grab the results and show the results to you.
StartPage comes in between you and Google and effectively hides you from Google. All Google gets is the track of StartPage.
When it comes to privacy in search –DuckDuckGo is perhaps one of the most popular search engines in the world.
This search engine does not keep any search history, doesn't set any cookies or HTTP headers and does not attempt to identify individuals or customize search results according to people.
Unlike StartPage, this search engine collates search results from many different search engines, including Google. The company has a special page that details how IXQuick does not comply to any of the government requests to share user data with authorities. The search engine also says that they do not have any back-doors in their system.
This is one of the oldest search engines on Internet. Although, by default, it tracks users but it provides an option called AskEraser. If you opt for AskEraser, the search engine stops all tracking activities.
You can use these search engines if you are worried about leaving breadcrumbs behind in your search trails. All big companies have to comply with the governments for the sake of keep functioning. But smaller search engines are perhaps left alone as authorizes do not lean over them too much. Enjoy private searching!


Some people were never taught the niceties of polite society!

There should be a test.
I wonder how many would pass?
I believe that is the source of so many of the world's problems.
And some societies were never taught the niceties of polite people!


challenge and she created 100 faces in 100 days using a variety of media including acrylic monoprint, screen prints, ink on paper, ball point pen on paper, etc. I modified this challenge by using just paper and pencil to simplify it and instead of making up imaginary faces; I attempted to capture celebrity likenesses. I was also motivated to do this challenge because I had recently completed a portrait commission in May, and I truly struggled to get the likenesses of the people in the photo.
To make this challenge a daily habit, I collected photos of celebrities from the internet that I found inspiring and saved them to a file labeled, portraits, on my computer, so I had a ready supply of faces to draw. I also did a few other things to keep me on track, since I struggle with discipline and finishing art projects that I complete, especially ones without a definite deadline. So, I coupled setting the timer for 25 minutes and making the drink, usually coffee or diet coke, of my choice to go along with it. I also tried to start my drawing mid-morning, before other activities intruded. For the most part, the challenge has been going really well, and most days with a few exceptions, I have set aside time consistently to draw. On the days when I can't get to my sketch pad, I don't beat myself up and I just start again the next day. And I feel I am learning so much about how to draw better portraits, for one, taking the time to really scrutinize the subject's face and other features.
Also, just stepping back frequently has given me a fresh perspective on how closely the sketch resembles the photo reference. On the other hand, there have been some days when I have felt really discouraged about whether I have what it takes to be an artist, when I have to do a drawing two or three times over, maybe even selecting a different photo to draw from if I get desperate. On days like that, it's hard to keep going with this challenge and I start to get discouraged. Lately, it has just been the dedication to push through and get it right. Last week though, I felt encouraged about the necessity of making art because, without a studio practice, I can't have anything to share with my friends, family, and fans. Nor can I grow in my skills as an artist, if I don't practice. And not only that, I feel I would be losing a big part of myself and my identity as a person if I stopped showing up to make art. I would lose that joy of creating something or seeing my internal visions come to life in sketches and paintings. In the words of art business coach, Allyson Stanfield, "Without your art, you have nothing to promote, you have nothing to market, you have nothing to take out of the studio and share with the world." Source: Ecstatic Encounters Lesson 1: Devote Yourself to Studio Practice, from https://artbizcoach.com/ee-1/.
So despite the difficulties I sometimes encounter with making art, I am not giving up, not on this challenge or any other art project. As it stands, I still have quite a few more days to go before this challenge is complete…By my calculations based on my Instagram posts, I have 63 more days to go. After that, who knows what new challenge I will take on… If you would like to watch my progress, you can view my Instagram profile at jsjschmidt2 on Instagram. I attached a few photos of this drawing challenge from my Instagram account. I hope the challenge to draw every day or almost every day, challenges you as much as it has challenged me. Thanks for stopping by!

Nintendo Announces E3 2016 Treehouse Live Schedule Featuring Zelda, Pokemon Sun/Moon, Pokemon Go, and more
By Justin Sharp	• 4 years ago
Nintendo has announced the schedule for this year's E3 2016 Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3! The Treehouse segments have become quite popular during E3 so it's no surprise Nintendo is doing the segment again this year. What is surprising is that there will be other games besides Zelda Wii U which was previously announced as the only playable game at the show. Nintendo probably planned this all along but it's nice to see confirmation of other games that will be featured this year. Take a look at the details below and links to watch it live in just a week and a half!
Nintendo heads to E3 once again and brings the coverage directly to you with a two-day program from Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3! Tune in starting at 9 a.m. PT on June 14 for a day of live-streaming gameplay focused on The Legend of Zelda for Wii U and first live gameplay of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon that kicks off the program! Watch it all here:
Day 2 of Nintendo Treehouse: Live at E3 will showcase upcoming releases for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, including Monster Hunter Generations, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE! Day 2 will start with a special Pokémon GO developer Q&A at 10 a.m. PT on June 15 at:

Ex-Mexican Foreign Minister Sees Some Good In Trump's Immigration Plan
You could say that a former Mexican foreign minister is trolling an immigration deal.
To be clear, Jorge Castaneda is not mocking it on social media. He is asking if all parts of the deal meet U.S. interests.
INSKEEP: President Trump and Congress are discussing a deal for people brought to the United States as children who don't have legal status now, plus funding for a border wall and more. The ex-foreign minister wrote in The New York Times that much of that deal would be fine for Mexico and bad for the U.S.
JORGE CASTANEDA: From Mexico's standpoint, legalizing somewhere near 1.5 million Mexican DREAMers is something which corresponds very much to Mexico's national interest because it makes it possible for us no longer to have to worry about mistreatment for them, deportation for them, living in the shadows by them. There are about 6 million undocumented Mexican nationals in the U.S. Overnight, 1 out of every 4 would be legalized. That's amnesty, and that's great.
INSKEEP: How do you get to the point of saying that if the United States goes ahead and builds a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, that may also be fine?
CASTANEDA: We don't really believe in Mexico that even with $25 billion, the wall will ever see the light of day. It's important to recall that one-third of the border now has a wall. Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have been building fences and walls for nearly 30 years. And it hasn't stopped immigration. I would prefer there not be a wall. I think it's bad for both of our countries. But if 1.5 million young Mexicans can be legalized practically overnight, and what President Trump wants in exchange is some money to build his wall or his toy, that's fine.
INSKEEP: You also have reconciled yourself to the idea of the president's demand to end what he calls chain migration.
CASTANEDA: I think from a Mexican perspective, of course, because somewhere around 200,000 Mexicans receive a green card every year. And that number would probably drop. But that drop from, let's say, 200,000 to 100,000 pales in comparison to the 1.5 million DREAMers who would be legalized. So I would prefer that there not be an end to chain migration because there's a logic to it. But if the price to pay for many of these things is ending what President Trump calls chain migration, so be it.
INSKEEP: I want to note that you also say the idea of ending the so-called visa lottery is fine as far as Mexico's interests are concerned because nobody is selected that way from Mexico. And get to what seems to me to be your bottom-line argument that you think this is a fundamentally racist immigration policy, but it won't hurt Mexico very much. Do you really feel this is a racist package of proposals?
CASTANEDA: I certainly think the intent of ending the lottery system and chain migration is an intent to whiten immigration. It clearly discriminates against immigrants coming from the countries that most have come from over the last 30 years - Mexico, Central America, perhaps Ecuador and countries in the Caribbean, plus Africa through the lottery system. It's very difficult to escape that conclusion.
INSKEEP: Is it possible in your view that such an immigration deal as is now on the table could actually improve relations between Mexico and the United States by settling some issues that concern both sides?
CASTANEDA: Well, I think, paradoxically, even if relations have, perhaps, never been worse in recent memory than they are today at a rhetorical level, if some of this were to happen, or if all of it were to happen, and there were to be essentially satisfactory deal on NAFTA, which is a different affair - but it's linked to this - I think relations would improve enormously.
INSKEEP: Foreign minister, thanks very much for the time.
CASTANEDA: Thank you very much.
INSKEEP: Jorge Castaneda's a former foreign minister of Mexico.

Q: Compiling new Places SDK for Android Client library fails at transformClassesWithDexBuilder I'm trying to migrate to the new Places SDK for Android Client.
I made code changes needed, however packaging the app fails on :app:transformClassesWithDexBuilderForDebug task (see the stack trace below). The issue seems to be in com.google.guava:guava-jdk5:17.0 dependency included as a part of com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0
Partial dependency tree is:
com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0
|    ...
|    \--- com.google.guava:guava:23.5-android
...
+--- com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.23.0
|    +--- com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.23.0
|    |    ...
|    |    \--- com.google.guava:guava-jdk5:17.0

So the new Places SDK client library includes Guava twice and includes non Android version as well, which causes a compile error. I recognise the description looks like a bug description, but a link to the relevant bug tracker also doesn't work :(

A: I had the exact same issue when migrating to the new Places SDK and i solved it by excluding com.google.guava:guava-jdk5 dependency
implementation ('com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava', module: 'guava-jdk5'
}

If you have another dependency that relies on guava you may need to exclude the entire group and not only the guava-jdk5 module.
implementation ('com.google.android.libraries.places:places:1.0.0') {
    exclude group: 'com.google.guava'
}

Tired of always going through the main menu scene to test your game? You can use the Game Starter to quickly test your game in the scene you're currently working.
Beside using Calculate steps in battle events, you can also deal damage upon physical contact using Damage Dealers and Damage Zones – we're going to use them in Real Time Battles.
The result of every action in a battle has to be calculated, and there are two ways to achieve this.
Our first battle used a single combatant – creating Combatant Groups will help us save time when fighting multiple combatants.
We can use HUDs to display all kinds of information – in our case, the player's status (HP and MP).
We're using Equipment Viewers to display our player's equipment in the game.

Q: Using the Laplace transform to solve an ODE with piecewise input
I have the answer to this problem. My question is with the function $u(t)$. $u(t)$ is:
$$u(t) = 2\cos(t)+2\sin(t-\pi/2)*1(t-\pi/2)$$
Why is there a $1(t-\pi/2)$ multiplying the $2\sin(t-\pi/2)$? Wouldn't $u(t) = 2\cos(t)+2\sin(t-\pi/2)$ suffice for $ u(t)$? $1(t-\pi/2)$ is a step function right? What's that got to do with a $\sin$?
I'm very confused about this. Any help would be appreciated.

A: Note that $\cos(t) + \sin(t-\pi/2) = 0$ and $\sin$ is needed to take effect after the point $\pi/2$ to obtain the given graphic. Hence it is multiplied by $1(t-\pi/2)$ which is the unit step function as you correctly guessed.
In other words you need to obtain
$$u(t)=\begin{cases} \cos(t) & 0<t<\pi/2 \\ 0 & \pi/2 \leq t \end{cases}$$
and remember the definition of step function.

La basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune est un ensemble canonial datant de la deuxième moitié du  située à Beaune en Côte-d'Or.

La basilique collégiale Notre-Dame de Beaune fait partie des dernières grandes églises romanes de Bourgogne. Sa construction fut entreprise au milieu du  sur le modèle clunysien et fut achevée au début du siècle suivant en conservant une remarquable unité stylistique.

La basilique est classée au titre des Monuments historiques par inscription sur la liste des monuments historiques de 1840. Le bâtiment conventuel (presbytère), quant à lui, fait l'objet d'une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le .

Historique
Les chanoines entreprirent de faire bâtir l'édifice au milieu du  et la construction, d'est en ouest, ne s'acheva qu'au début du . Les bâtiments canoniaux datent de la fin du , le porche du milieu du .

Après l'incendie de 1272, des travaux furent entrepris ; les parties hautes de l'abside furent reconstruites au niveau de l'arcature aveugle : les fenêtres romanes furent remplacées par d'immenses fenêtres gothiques à remplages et des arcs-boutants établis sur les contreforts romans du déambulatoire ; les corniches et les fenêtres du déambulatoire furent remaniées, les toitures et la tour du transept modifiées.

Les chapelles furent ajoutées du  au  ; les plus remarquables sont la chapelle Saint-Léger ornée de peintures murales et la chapelle du chanoine Bouton construite entre 1529 et 1533. La flèche gothique de l'église fut remplacée par un toit à l'impériale construit de 1580 à 1588, sur les plans d'Hugues Sambin.

La Révolution détruisit la statuaire du portail et une grande partie du mobilier liturgique. Un fragment de l'autel roman fut retrouvé en 1843, et est maintenant exposé dans l'église.

En 1844, Viollet-le-Duc établit un devis de restauration ; les travaux furent exécutés à partir de 1860 sous la direction de Maurice Ouradou, l'architecte beaunois Alphonse Forest étant inspecteur des travaux. Les travaux se concentrent particulièrement sur les extérieurs, les huit arcs-boutants de la tour de la croisée furent détruits à cete occasion. En 1886 le couronnement des parties occidentales fut repris en 1886, ré-inventant au passage l'ensemble de ses ornements sculptés.

Description

L'église
L'église comprend une nef à deux-bas côtés, un transept et un chœur avec abside, déambulatoire et chapelles rayonnantes. La nef, le transept et le chœur sont couverts de voûtes en berceau brisé, les bas-côtés et le déambulatoire de voûtes d'arêtes, le porche, l'abside, les chapelles, le cloître et la salle capitulaire de voûtes d'ogives, la chapelle Bouton d'un plafond.
Vers 1690, Gabriel Revel réalisa L'Adoration du Sacré-Cœur de Jésus, une huile sur toile de .

Dans le choeur est exposé une remarquable tenture de la Vie de la Vierge, offerte par le chanoine Le Coq en 1500.

L'édifice dispose de grandes orgues, qui figurent parmi les plus belles de Bourgogne. L'instrument, qui date du XVII siècle et a été plusieurs fois modifié, possède un buffet peint et sculpté, quatre claviers, un pédalier et une cinquantaine de jeux. Son titulaire est, depuis 1976, l'organiste Michel Tissier.

Ensemble conventuel
À gauche du chœur se trouve l'ancienne sacristie, à droite, à l'étage, l'ancienne chapelle Saint-Michel (oratoire privé de Nicolas Rolin) dont l'abside, éclairée par une fenêtre plein-cintre, est supportée par un cul-de-lampe et couverte d'une terrasse bordée d'une balustrade. Un couloir permettait la communication avec le bâtiment canonial. Le portail du bras droit du transept ouvre sur une galerie de cloître à sept travées que surmonte une partie des anciens bâtiments canoniaux, actuellement utilisée comme presbytère.

Personnalités attachées à l'édifice

Q: Why is int[] treated as an rvalue? Suppose I have this function:
void f(int*& ptr) {
//do something
}

When I try to do:
int array[3] = {};
f(array); //fails to compile, error array is rvalue
int* p = array;
f(p); //compiles

Why does the first case fail? Aren't arrays equivalent to pointers?

A: No, arrays aren't equivalent to pointers.
In the first case, the array has to be converted to a pointer. The result of a conversion is an rvalue, which can't bind to a non-const lvalue reference, hence the error.
In the second case, p is an lvalue denoting an object of the correct type, so the function call succeeds.

A: int* p = array;
f(p);     // compiles
f(array); // (this compiles too!)

Arrays are not equivalent to pointers, but there is a special rule that says the name of an array will be automatically treated as a pointer to the first element of the array, when you pass it as a function argument, or when you initialise a pointer to it (so int* p = array is a shortcut for int* p = &array[0]).
Your example with f(p) is not interesting: you're just passing a pointer to the first element of the array, manually.

int array[3] = {};
f(array); //fails to compile, error array is rvalue

Here, the "special case" I talked about wants to apply (so the name array is again treated as &array[0]), but the function accepts an int*& not an int*. To understand why this fails, consider this:
#include <string>

void baz1(std::string& str) {}
void baz2(const std::string& str) {}

int main()
{
    // baz1("hello world!");
    // ^ Doesn't compile, because converting string literal
    //   to std::string would result in a *temporary*, and you
    //   may not bind a temporary to a reference-to-non-const

    baz2("hello world!");
    // ^ OK, because baz2 takes a reference-to-const
}

Or, the same problem:
void ecl(int& x) {}
void ipse(const int& x) {}

int main()
{
    // ecl(3);  // doesn't compile
    ipse(3);    // OK
}

So we can fix your program like so:
void f(int* const& ptr) {}
//          ^^^^^

int main()
{
    int array[3] = {};
    f(array);  // compiles!
}


The proximity of southern Russians, Ukrainians - and more specifically, Belorusians - to the Germanic group is also confimed by the phylogenetic reconstruction of classical genetic markers, such as HLA haplotypes. IN dendogramm, published in Boldyreva's PhD thesis, Belorusians cluster with Czechs, Austrians and Belgians.
How good are that figuring out the direction of gene flow? Would if the Southern Russians helped to create the germanic population?
"How good are that figuring out the direction of gene flow? Would if the Southern Russians helped to create the germanic population?"
That depends on how far back in time you want to go. Autosomally, Northern Europeans are sufficiently removed from Mediterraneans that one can argue for a different LGM refuge. Even before LGM, it is likely that there was a lot of gene flow from the northern plains and the Danube to the steppes north of the Black & Caspian Sea - simply because these areas were connected by easy travel and provided similar food support.
After introduction of agriculture, central and northern Europe were culturally united by LBK and its successors. Most scholars believe that people that can be considered Germanic in culture and language ranged from slightly west of the Rhine river into much of the Polish plains and south thereof during all of the first millennium BCE.
There are very early Germanic loan words into the northern branches of Finno-Ugric (earlier than into Baltic or Slavic). Such studies as well as archeology support the notion that Gothic tribes expanded even further southeast in the centuries just before Slavic expansion northwest (and north, and northeast).
This is pretty well documented with virtually no room for speculation. But yes, I would agree that 2,000 - 3,000 years ago, people in much of what is now Poland, Slovakia, and parts of the Ukraine were autosomally rather close to Germanic people (the same way Hungarians to date are very close to Germans, Czech, Austrians, Slovenians, etc.).
Well, This confirms what we already know, the Goths migrated from the Baltic to the present-day Bielorussia and Ukraine in 200 AD.
I did not named the Bastarnae because their origin is unclear, although it was a very well known people from the ancient chroniclers.
Probably it was a confederation of Celtic and Germanic tribes, which became similar to the Sarmatians, but it is possible that it bring germanic genes in thearea , before the great Slavic invasion.
After the invasion of the Goths 100,000 of them were settled within the Empire and lost their identity in a very short time.
It may be misleading to project so far into the past (early 1st millenium AD) present-day ethnic identities such "Slavic" and "Germanic." The quote re Slavs below could also be applied to other eastern European groups as well.
eventually become an accepted fact in the 10th century and later."
The gene flow could travel either way up the Vistula, etc. In fact, more likely SOUTH to NORTH (ie from the forest-steppe region of the East Carpathian and NW Pontic region to the Baltic). The former has always been a "population oven" from where peoples expanded north to the Baltic and south to the open steppe (periodically). Finally, there is no credible proof that the Goths "came from" Gotland. The Goths formed where they always lived - in the lower Danube and NW Pontic region.
And FJB is correct in agreeing what Paliga stated.

Norwich Win Over Ipswich Video
By YankeeCanary, April 2, 2004 in Main Discussion - Norwich City
YankeeCanary 0
Over the past week I received a copy of the video game of the Norwich win over Ipswich at Carrow Road last month. This was very generously provided to me by SI at his cost. He said he enjoys reading my posts ( foolish man ) but that what I lack is an awareness of what is actually taking place on the pitch ( and the anxiety and frustrations the fans go through ) because I am not able to see the games. Quite correct. I have watched the video a number of times and was absolutely thrilled that you provided this opportunity for me SI. What you said to me, verbatim, was: " I would like to send you a copy of this year''s derby at CR. I can have it dispatched anywhere in the States by the end of the week, and then I would like your opinions on the players, the tactics, the manager, the supporters, before our next game and while we are still 8 points from third". It''s difficult to give input against all of these points from a video but, SI at the time of writing, we are still 8 points above third place, so here are my observations:
Definitely a game of two different periods as far as Norwich were concerned. In the first half an objective observer would have concluded that Ipswich were the Division leaders. They were, by far, the better footballing side and created numerous chances. Including the two that came off the woodwork, I counted seven Ipswich chances that could have easily resulted in goals. Of these, Bent contributed with four opportunities. I was very impressed with his performance as I was with Kuqi while he was on the pitch. To digress, there apparently were a number of games during this period where Norwich did not turn up for the first half. If this is a tactic, e.g. soak up what the opponent can throw at you, in this case it could have easily cost them the match. The fact that it didn''t was due to good fortune and very little else. The main problem appeared to be how the Norwich players performed when Ipswich had possession. Norwich players, too often, would stand yards away from the open Ipswich players and only make a move towards the opponent when the ball had been brought under control and the man began to move forward. Too late. This approach in the Premiership will, undoubtedly, result in a quick demise. Ipswich were by far superior at keeping the ball on the ground, running into open spaces, executing the pass and go. Observation of some Norwich players:
While Svennson appeared to have a decent attitude, and I have read that he does have some pace, he was always a half-step at least too slow. He may be out of shape but despite that a good striker knows when and how to position himself to be a half-step quicker than opponents at key moments- he did not appear to have that skill. I give him credit for the number of times he was back on his own goal line helping out in defense but found myself asking why he was required to do that with Norwich playing in front of their own fans. Henderson may be young but the number of times he carelessly gave the ball away to Ipswich was awful. He appeared to lack the confidence to take his man on. Full marks for calmness under the circumstances to Robert Green, who always looked in control, and also to Nigel Worthington on the sideline who remained very calm through this poor first half performance. Fans were, obviously, very upbeat and noisy at the start as one would expect for the local derby but, understandably, became very quiet as the match moved towards half-time.
Norwich came into the second half with more purpose and, while Ipswich were still playing nice football, they were now being hurried into action. Therefore, there was an increased amount of time being spent in the Ipswich half, where they were weaker, a key point that we should been focusing on pre-match and coming into the game prepared to exploit. Norwich players that did impress me were Huckerby and McVeigh, not so much for a strong role in this particular game but their obvious class and abil
Well Done SI for sending the video To Yankee a kind thought which he has obviously appreciated.Sums up for me the posters on this site and the friendships we have formed over the past months.

Most operating systems for PDAs and smartphones have been designed from scratch within the last decade, and security has been one of several important criteria. The early driving factors in the design phase were low memory usage, small OS footprint, always-on operation and the support of special hardware, such as low-power chipsets and small screens. Because the IT industry now recognizes the need for more secure computing models, additional security features such as VPN, SSL, crypto modules, login passwords, and code signing have been introduced. Microsoft and Symbian in particular, have made significant improvements to their mobile operating systems. Symbian 9, for example, has sophisticated security models, trusted computing concepts, data caging, applications rights, etc.
At the same time, other features continue to be added to these operating systems. The market and user expectations have largely driven OS providers and device manufacturers to more and more features, which introduce additional software complexity. And since each line of code can be the reason for an additional security exploit, the risk for additional security issues grows with each added feature. Additionally, mobile devices can be connected in many more ways than via a carrier's network; no longer do mobile devices operate in a closed environment (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, infrared, corporate networks).
Despite the high numbers of mobile devices that go missing, companies are apparently not doing enough employee education to help secure their mobile assets. The problem is not unique to the United States – a recent survey in the United Kingdom revealed that nearly two-thirds of UK business users do not use a password when they log-on to their laptops, and of the users who do use passwords, 15 percent use their name and 10 percent give password details to colleagues. A third of the respondents have not changed their passwords in the past year.
Provide training to personnel using mobile devices. People cannot be held accountable to secure their information if they haven't been told how.
Remove data from devices that aren't in use. Several incidents have occurred by people obtaining "hand-me-down" mobile devices that still had confidential company data.
Establish procedures to disable remote access for any mobile devices that are lost or stolen. Many devices store user names and passwords for Web site portals, which could allow a thief to access even more information than on the device itself.
Centralize management of your mobile devices. Maintain an inventory so that you know who's using what kinds of devices.
Patch management for software on mobile devices should not be overlooked. This can often be simplified by integrating patching with syncing, or patch management with the centralized inventory database.
Fortunately, security products that can detect malicious code exist for most mobile device operating systems. Security technologies that can protect both the organization and the various types of mobile devices should also be implemented. Native mobile device security such as light encryption, basic passwords, and physical locks may deter some hackers, but rarely stymie a determined criminal.
For smartphones in particular, real-time automatic and on-demand virus scan capabilities can protect files that are stored on the smartphone's file system, while the firewall should use protocol and port filtering to protect the data and applications being transmitted.
To ensure that devices are protected against new threats, users should be able to download the latest virus protection updates when the device has access to a wireless connection.
Smartphones, PDAs, and laptops are increasingly being used in much the same way as desktop computers, putting these devices at risk of the onslaught of threats that has been seen in recent years on PCs. Today's enterprises are mobile enterprises, and deploying effective tools and policies to thwart the growing number of malicious attacks that can not only impair mobile devices, but could potentially breach enterprise security, compromise proprietary data, negatively impact regulatory compliance and legal agreements, should be a top priority.


From the jerk seasonings of the West Indies to the aromatic spices of North Africa and the comforting soul foods of North America, African cooking embraces a splendid mixture of imported and traditional ingredients and spices. Most African foods are centered around starches or cereals and embellished with fruits, vegetables, meats, herbs and spices.
Native African crops like yams, sorghum and millet are widely used in African cookery, as well as cultivated imports like wheat, rice, corn and cassava. Starches for breads and a common African food called fufu or ugali are derived from these crops. Fufu, which is often referred to as porridge or dumplings in English, is a plain boiled starch with the consistency of bread dough. Pieces of the dough are dipped into thick sauces or soups made with meat and vegetables.
Meats like game (bush meat), poultry, pork, beef and fish are all common in African cooking. In rural areas where meat is harder to come by, it is eaten only rarely or on special occasions. Meat from poultry and game can be quite tough, so it is most often prepared in slow-cooked stews and soups. Nuts are another common protein source, particularly peanuts, which are found all over the continent and are grown all year round in the right climates. Ground peanuts are made into sauces and soups, and the oil is sometimes used for flavoring. Legumes like lentils, beans and peas also form a significant portion of protein in African cuisine. In addition to soups and sauces, legumes are also served mashed or fried in cakes.
Africa's climate welcomes a tremendous variety of fruits and vegetables, both wild and cultivated, and they comprise a large portion of the African diet because they grow all year. Tropical fruits like mango, papaya, oranges and figs appear in sweet and savory dishes. Bananas and plantains are eaten ripe and over-ripe, either raw or cooked, and green bananas are the main ingredient of many dishes. The flesh, milk and oil of coconuts are quite prevalent in African food, where the oil is used for cooking and flavoring and the flesh can be made into casseroles, fried dishes, desserts and sauces.
Milk produced from boiling coconut flesh is made into drinks or used in soups and sauces. Okra and fresh corn are popular African vegetables, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, mustard greens, squash, pumpkins, carrots, cabbage and spinach.
African spices vary with the region, and many African foods are salty and heavily spiced. Hot peppers and chilies are also quite common in African food. Although not native to Africa, cumin, cinnamon, sesame seeds, curry and coriander are widely used, as are ginger and garlic. Seasonings are made from dried mushrooms and ground seeds like cotton and melon. A special African seasoning called ogilie is made from dried seeds which have been steamed, fermented, and then ground into a paste.

Uglai and cabbage. Ugali (also sometimes called sima or posho) is a cornmeal product and a staple starch component of many African meals, especially in Southern and East Africa. It is generally made from maize flour (or ground maize) and water, and varies in consistency from porridge to a dough-like substance.


Fashion retailer Next is to expand product areas including lingerie, maternity wear and homewares as it moves into larger stores.
Next chief executive Simon Wolfson said lingerie ranges will be developed to include more glamorous pieces, as well as basics.
Maternity wear will be put into 50 stores, compared with 30 at present, while homewares will be ramped up.
'Homewares is still a fragmented market, and we expect there to be further consolidation. We need to work with our supplier base to improve our offer,' said Wolfson.
Last week, Next announced a 14 per cent surge in full-year sales to£2.5 billion from£2.2 billion last year, while profit before tax came to£353.3 million from£301.2 million last year.
Retail space will be increased by 15 per cent this year, adding another 420,000 sq ft (39,020 sq m). This is less than the 21 per cent growth in 2003/2004, but more than Next's average of 10 per cent. New shops will be at least 10,000 sq ft (930 sq m) in order to display the entire product offer. Next's biggest shop to date, an 80,000 sq ft (7,430 sq m) superstore, will open at Manchester's Arndale Centre in 2005/2006.
Next aims to increase market share in its core clothing market by launching a raft of price cuts. The average selling price across the group fell by about 5 per cent last year, and is expected to fall by 5 per cent again this year.
Wolfson said price deflation could boost turnover.
'If we can get the same margin, but give the same product to our customer at a lower price, that will increase sales,' he said.

We are pleased to announce that the Channel Cities Jazz Club will be sponsoring the following 4 students from Ventura High School for the 2011 summer jazz camp at Sacramento: Asa Tabor, trumpet, Nic Ming, baritone sax, Nate Rowley, drums & trumpet, and Christian Bennett, bass & bass guitar. All four have been formally accepted to the camp. Kudos to these students and to Jim Holbrook for his dedicated support of this summer program.
The following are notes from our 2011 Jazz Camp participants:
My time at Sac. Jazz Camp was not only helpful in my jazz but it was also incredibly fun. I thought that the most clear thing I remember about this camp was that the staff was phenomenal and their dedication to music was inspiring. The music that was played there was very historical and fun. I didn't just learn how to improvise a lot better than before, I also learned how to play
this music with soul and how to play it correctly. The other students there were very nice also, there were fun activities to do also, not all music, which can be relieving for some people. They had jam sets at night which was where we just played with anyone who was there and played music with each other and improvised a lot. The saxophone tutor that I had came all the way from Florida which made me feel very honored to have him playing with us. I also learned that a strong and full rhythm section is very nice and makes everything easier. An overall evaluation of this camp is that it was very fun and that it taught me a lot.
Thanks, Channel Cities Jazz Club,
~Nic Ming
I had the great opportunity to be able to go to the Sacramento traditional jazz camp this summer and my experience there was something I will never forget. When I arrived there the first thing we had to do was audition for the band that we were to play in for the week. We played a twelve bar Bb blues progression and everyone improvised off that. It was cool to experience something like that because I have never done anything like that before for an audition. The next day we were put into our bands and when we started our first rehearsal, we had to prepare for a performance that night. The songs we practiced were so much fun to play and I really learned a lot from our band director, Eddie Ericson. Every night all the bands had to play at least one song in front of the camp to prepare them for the final performance on Saturday. My band played four very fun songs for our final performance and it was a really fun time. The whole week was a great experience for me and my jazz career. I'm planning to use all the methods that I was taught to help make me a better trumpet player and musician all around. I would like to thank the Channel Cities Jazz Club for giving me the scholarship to go to this great camp. I hope other kids get to enjoy what I experienced and learned at the camp and I am grateful that the club is kind enough to sponsor kids who would really enjoy a week of great fun and great jazz.
~Asa Tabor
Channel Cities Jazz Club,
Thank you so much for sending me to the Sacramento jazz camp. It was probably one of my biggest learning experiences of the year. When I first arrived at the main office in Sacramento I was unsure and a bit nervous but I got along with the kids there right away. When the bus arrived at the camp I was treated with the same kindness. I think my favorite part about the camp is that you get to meet so many other people who play the same instruments and have similar goals to yours. The first audition at the camp was a lot of fun because it was basically just jamming and soloing, the second audition was very hard because the competition for bassist and drummers was very stiff.
The bass teacher, Mr. Westy, probably taught me more about the bass than anybody I had previously worked with. Once in groups the days became a lot of work because you would wake up early and go to bed late and you had to prepare three songs to perform each night. The camp activities were also a lot of fun. In the daytime we would go on hikes to rivers and go in the water or jam on campus. One night there was even a dance that everyone went to, by the end I was exhausted from a week of fun and learning. The week ended with a camp concert on Sat. night that was a great experience!
Thanks again for the opportunity,
~Christian Michael Bennett
Freda's View at the Jazz Club
It's September 18th, Sunday, and a fine time once again to spend an afternoon with the CCJC family at the Oxnard Elks Lodge here in the center of town. There's a big parade in the city today so I'm not so sure how many of our friends and members will forge their ways through the crowds and street barricades to get here. Still, the show must go on as it does, time after time
each Sunday come rain, come shine, or the fact that I'm looking at the backside of a parade horse and driving 2 miles per hour to make to 8th and A today. But it's all worth it to see you, my good friends of the CCJC. Upon entering the big hall, there on stage already is a nice surprise. It's our Youth Band. I say "our" Youth Band because we sent several of these young folks to the Summer Jazz Camp and now they are here putting on a show for us. It's all a good reminder of our stated purpose. We've committed to hand the music down from generation to generation as one important means of keeping this wonderful art-form called JAZZ kicking and thriving. No question this young group is developing to be real "Jazzers". I can see the proud faces of the parents and supporting members all around the room as this seven-member group performs. Just after their set, I rush to get contact information on each to be sure they get the chance to read about themselves here and see the video recording we'll soon upload of their performance. As I step over to trumpet player, Asa Tabor, I hear his Dad say "I'm so proud of you, son", and he gives him a strong hug. (I think to myself, "It's this kind of support that has helped this group of young performers reach their present level of accomplishment") So nice to see and feel it firsthand coming from a proud parent. In the group are Nate Rowley and Asa Tabor on trumpets, Nic Ming on baritone sax, Dru Blossom on trombone, Christian Bennett on bass, Colleen Edwards on drums, with Eleanor Bakewell doing the vocals. The group of six musicians provided solid support for Eleanor as she displayed her own unique soft feel for her tunes including "It's A Good Day", "Why Don't You Do Right", and "Cow Cow Boogie To this young group of musicians, I extend my personal encouragement! Stay together, keep building the repertoire, keep learning and keep comin' back to perform for us at the CCJC — reminds us of one of the reasons we come together! And get this! I hear the group has already landed a private back-yard gig today. They'll be playing at the home of Jim and Jess Holbrook. Way to go, gang!
More Letters From Jazz Campers
My experiences at camp were ones I'll never forget. The travel there was long and tiresome, but the surprises I received at camp were well worth the wait. We were put into great cabins with lots of new people to meet, lots of new friends. Every day we got a chance to play, practice and perform great pieces of jazz music, watch as professional musicians play even greater pieces of music, and even jam with fellow camp members. We were served food every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and even could buy snacks from the camp store. The instructors were great, and had vital skills to share with all the aspiring players at camp. Not to mention the fun things to do outside of lessons, performances, and jamming. There were many things to do every day, including a bunch of nonmusical things: Campers could go on a hike, go to a dance, play ping pong or basketball, and also compete in many band vs band games that are too silly to describe.
All in all, the Sacramento Jazz Camp is a camp for everyone to enjoy, offering a rich sense of fun, positive moral, and culture.
Thank you, Channel Cities Jazz Club.

Murder suspect not indicted
A Selma man who was arrested in 2008 for the murder of a west Autauga County woman was released Friday.
The Autauga County grand jury found there was not sufficient evidence to convict Clifford Wynn, 45, as it wrapped up deliberations Friday.
Wynn was arrested in December of last year and charged in the killing of Patricia Gayle Lasserre, a former employee of the Clanton Walmart. The victim's family reported her missing Dec. 19, 2005, when she did not return home from work.
Lasserre's body was found in a wooded area off Autauga County Road 1 near Billingsley, not far from her Chevrolet Suburban. The location was approximately 2 miles from her home.
"There was insufficient evidence to indict it, but it continues to be an open investigation and will remain so until we convict," said District Attorney Randall Houston, who represents Chilton, Autauga and Elmore counties. "There are items of evidentiary value we will continue to assess."
Wynn was reportedly being held in the Autauga Metro Jail under a $300,000 bond before his release.
Houston said Wynn was now being referred to as simply an "identified person of interest."
The case is a joint investigation between the Autauga County Sheriff's Office and the Alabama Bureau of Investigation. Houston also said the DA's office would be involved.
The grand jury will reconvene in six months.
