Collins, Phil
From the Genesis frontman and hugely successful solo artist, a reflective memoir taking stock of iconic songs and performances and a sometimes tumultuous, ever-thrilling lifeWith 280 million lifetime record sales between his time with Genesis and his earthshaking solo career, Phil Collins has lived a life that few people can imagine. In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Collins reveals the heart and soul of what drives him as a performer and a dynamically creative individual. He takes us from his ill-fated near-big break as a session percussionist on George Harrison's All Things Must Pass through the rise of Genesis and his emergence as the band's leader to the height of his fame as a solo artist. While Collins rubbed shoulders with some of the greatest pop stars of the era, his stories are given depth and color by his remarkable capacity for self-reflection. Whether he's walking us through the making of his greatest music or mining the dark days of his wholly enveloping alcohol and drug addictions, he's candid, expansive, and always entertaining.This book will capture the eye-popping exterior facets of Collins' career, but more vitally, will delve deeply into the workings of a complex, tireless man to explore the verve that propelled him from the early days into a canon of pop iconography few other musicians can claim to share. Told with ebullience and more than a dose of humor, Collins' refreshingly forthright voice will equally charm and enlighten pop culture audiences and die-hard music fans alike.

I'm impressed. Not Dead Yet is decidedly better than I expected. Even if partially ghost-written—I honestly have no idea—Phil Collins weaves a concise autobiography complete with all the ups and downs of celebrity. There's hardly a dull moment from beginning to end. Expect him to air his dirty laundry when the topic gets personal, and it gets very personal the farther along you get, but hearing him tell all comes across as a bit disingenuous. Just slightly, as if he's holding something back. Then again, it could be who he is. I've known plenty of self-centered people. The feelings of others aren't their strong suit. He does try though, bless him. Makes me wish I could hear both sides of Phil's story. This is especially true when it pertains to any of his wives. They all sound like nice people until the relationship gets inevitably strained, which always happens. (Weird. Just as I write this, Phil actually utters the words "dirty laundry" so there you go—I'm listening to the audiobook and he's the reader.)
Honestly, it's not all about sex and women. No, that's barely half of it. For the most part Phil Collins was a workaholic. In his own words, he feels he hit 10,000 hours of drumming before he was a teenager. And the 80's, according to him, was a blur of producing and touring. The quality and sheer quantity of his output during his prime years is in a league of its own.
I honestly don't believe one can achieve the kind of international fame Phil Collins has achieved—i.e. a successful singer/musician of two bands, a semi-successful actor and a media personality—without a critical level of narcissism. The two go together, for better or worse. I didn't know the man from his music. I also wasn't a fan until the early 90's and by then the celebrity-obsessed public was long tired of seeing his mug everywhere. Nevertheless, we wouldn't be here discussing this or that about his life if it weren't for his songs. His music (and the music of Genesis) spans decades and is irrevocably fused with the pop culture of the 80's and 90's.

Neil deGrasse Tyson to remain head of New York planetarium as sexual harassment probe ends
The popular scientist and host of 'Cosmos' will continue at Hayden Planetarium now that the institution's investigation has concluded, although its results remain sealed
Brianna Rhodes
Astrophysicist and author, Neil deGrasse Tyson will continue his role as the director of New York's Hayden Planetarium now that the investigation tied to two women accusing him of sexual misconduct has ended.
The American Museum of Natural History announced in a statement that the popular scientist "remains an employee and director of the Hayden Planetarium," Deadline reports.
READ MORE: Neil deGrasse Tyson denies sexual misconduct allegations in lengthy Facebook post
The museum officials said they will not make any further comments,"because this is a confidential personnel matter," according to the Huffington Post. The planetarium is part of the The American Museum of Natural History.
This news follows after the TV personality had faced misconduct accusations posted on Patheos last November that led corporations Fox and Nat Geo to conduct a probe to investigate.
One of the allegations involved Dr. Katelyn N. Allers, a professor from Bucknell University, who claimed that the Tyspn inappropriately touched her and groped her in 2009 at an event. She accused Tyson of examining her solar system tattoo and then "followed the tattoo into" her dress. The other allegation involved former assistant, Ashley Watson, who said Tyson made inappropriate sexual moves toward her on multiple occasions.

While the investigation was taking place, production companies, Fox and Nat Geo halted the Season 2 premiere of science docuseries Cosmos, which was supposed to have aired in March. Meanwhile, Nat Geo pulled StarTalk, hosted by Tyson off the air amidst the new allegations.
Both shows were eventually eventually scheduled for a return following those networks' investigations.
The allegations last year wasn't the first time Tyson has been accused of sexual conduct. Tchiya Amet, a musician and former classmate of the astrophysicist also made claims on Patheos that he raped her when they were in graduate school in 1984.
She said that the news is "concerning" according to Vox.

Moving Through the Juvenile Justice System
The mission of the Juvenile Justice Commission is to lead the reform of the juvenile justice system in New Jersey as mandated by N.J.S.A 52:17B-169 et seq. Our agency values and expects its employees and residents to demonstrate leadership, integrity, commitment and respect as we work to protect public safety, reduce delinquency and hold youthful offenders accountable for their delinquent actions by:
Partnering with local and county jurisdictions in collaborative efforts to prevent youth from entering the juvenile justice system and intervene with court-involved youth;
Providing youthful offenders with a continuum of rehabilitative services and sanctions in appropriate settings that promote positive growth and development opportunities; and
Assisting youthful offenders to achieve successful reentry back to their communities through a network of support services and personal skill development that strengthens their levels of self-sufficiency
The Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) was established in 1995 to serve as the single agency of State government with centralized authority for planning, policy development, and provision of services in the juvenile justice system. The JJC is committed to implementing and promoting policies and practices that improve outcomes for young people involved with the juvenile justice system, their families, and their communities.
The JJC's three primary responsibilities are providing care, custody, and rehabilitative services to youth committed to the agency by the courts, supervising and coordinating services for youth released from custody on parole, and supporting local efforts to provide prevention and early intervention services to at-risk and court-involved youth.
Across a continuum of care, which includes secure care facilities, residential community homes, and community-based parole and transitional services, the JJC provides programming, supports, and opportunities designed to help youth grow and thrive and to become independent, productive, and law-abiding citizens.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Dec. 26, 2019 — Boeing [NYSE: BA] has developed a new variant of its 702 satellite for the U.S. Air Force's Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) constellation, one that offers both greater bandwidth efficiency and signal power than previous satellites in the fleet.
The new WGS-11 will be delivered on a recently negotiated contract award from the Air Force.
Advances in Boeing digital satellite technology mean WGS-11 will deliver hundreds of coverage beams and provide a more flexible and efficient use of bandwidth. These innovations will enable the spacecraft to support more users in theater and allow dedicated beams to follow aircraft in flight.
"WGS-11 incorporates the latest advances in Boeing commercial satellite technology combined with a resilient and robust design specifically for military use in contested environments," said Troy Dawson, Boeing vice president, Government Satellite Systems. "We look forward to delivering this critically important asset to the U.S. Air Force in 2024."
WGS provides dedicated high capacity broadband communications connectivity to U.S. and allied forces around the world. Boeing has been the lead contractor on the program since it began in 2001.

A beautiful blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she's going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The car is parked on the street in front of the bank, she has the title and everything checks out. The bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the blonde for using a $250,000 Rolls as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then proceeds to drive the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Physical education class is an opportunity to be introduced to sports that can be played on many different levels… at home, in a recreation league, in interscholastic play, etc. Students are introduced to basic concepts and they work their way into a modified "game". Learning the basic skills in sports gives students a different perspective and also an appreciation for the sport. Even if the student does not play the sport competitively, they will understand the basic premise, rules, and skills required to participate. Team sports require cooperation and teamwork… skills we use in everyday life. Ball sports develop hand-eye coordination, timing, and movement skills. At the middle school level, we are not setting students up to be players on the school team… we are introducing the sport and giving opportunity to practice in a fun, non-threatening environment.
Students have the opportunity to PLAY… something important to all children this age. They are exposed to various activities that can be played at many levels. There are many ways to become physically fit. Find something you enjoy and DO IT!!! We want our students to become more active and encourage others to join them in increasing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle now and in the future.
At all levels, we stress gaining information and using that information to make positive, healthy choices and decisions. All topics are relevant to things the students see almost every day in their own lives, a friend's life, the news, the community, etc. We encourage students to become lifelong learners… stressing the importance of keeping up-to-date and informed as they get older. We also emphasize discussing topics at home with parents. Health class is the perfect place to take time to incorporate a wide array of topics into the students' lives. Almost any situation they encounter can in one way or another be related to health.

Sorry for my late reviews. It's absolutely a perfect accommodation experience! Clean room, quiet environment, convenient location and nice people! U could get a map and some useful advice from the front desk, like restaurants, scenic spots, supermarkets, transportation and so on, the guys were so so kind-hearted to help u and solve problems. BTW: Thx so much. I stayed here for two nights before leaving, and it's really a wise choice to stay Drift BnB when u just arrive or before u leave. Of course, luckily, u can meet amazing people from all over the world here, sharing different experiences and feelings.
Hands down best value for money i have encountered in SL so far. Really clean, and in a great location. the internet is quick and reliable. Breakfast is cheap and delicious. choose between a standard egg/toast type brekky, or a smoothie bowl. Dorm rooms are clean and tidy as are the bathrooms. Millennials need to start understanding co-living etiquitte, it's not acceptable to be up at all hours going through your luggage, with all of the lights on while people are sleeping, this happened twice in a 6 night stay, so just a word of warning to those in dorm rooms, you could be sharing with self absorbed people. Do yourself a favor and book a private room!
I stayed at Drift for 2 nights on two different dates during my transit through Colombo. The facility has a very nice vibe and the facilities are very clean. Location is superb and their breakfast is VERY decent. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. Excellent wifi as well. Overall excellent value for money and would highly recommend to backpackers looking for a hostel in Colombo city.
Stayed one night, would stay more if I spent more time in Colombo. The location is great, and the place is pretty well run. The only snag was a little bit of a misunderstanding about breakfast --- I talked to the guy on the desk the night before about getting breakfast the following morning, but I guess he did not mark us down on the roster. But other that, no gripes and would recommend to others.
The rooms are large and clean. Stayed in a double room with private bathroom (but note that no towels were provided) The hotel has a hip modern atmosphere. The staff are helpful and speak good English. The traffic, though muffled, can be heard from the room I stayed which faces the street.
Great stay at Drift. Like the deco and room condition was comfortable. The luggage lift was very useful too vs carrying them up the 2nd/3rd storey. The proximity to various nice cafes, Barefoot store and bus stop is a plus point too.
Very clean rooms and nice location. However after standing on the train and walking down the street to reach the hotel,my legs were tired to walk up the stairsto 2 nd floor. However its nice that there is an elevator for the bags. Very clean and spacious toilets n shower. Loaction is near to Liberty Department stores.
Not good. One man on the front desk is cheating people and tried to overcharge me for breakfast, a young guy , wears glasses. Then taxi they organized to the airport tried to charge me for the highway toll fee even tough they said the fee is included in the price I paid to the front desk . Only dishonest hotel I had there !
Massive room. Spotless. Very helpful staff.
I was stay in female dorm room however the washing room was connect with the other room. Which means they can enter our room from washing room! I feel a bit awkward. The staff is friendly and the hotel is clean but there is no trash bin.
Great place to stay in Colombo as it is modern andfun place in an area that is an up and coming smart area. Reception staff give you a map with all the interesting okaces and some good eating places. Worth bearing in mind if you are on a budget is that there is a great cheap Thai cafe 59 yards to the left of Drift. Rooms were nice and although the breakfast was a bit basic, we really enjoyed our stay here.
Finding a cold bottle of water in the room on a hot day was a pleasant surprise! Room was extremely spacious with all the necessary facilities. The staff were helpful. Check in and out was a breeze! Excellent location!
The hotel was excellent but our party of 3 was VERY unhappy with the travel agency they hooked up with operated by someone named Ruan. Our driver Saman, spoke only a smattering of English and he only told us on the first night that Adam's Peak was closed and we couldn't go there. That was meant to be the highlight of our trip. Had we known that prior to departure, we'd have changed our itinerary instead of wasting a day. The hotel (and the driver) had told us to pay the amount at the end of our 7-day trip but instead, the driver asked us for money on the first night, saying he had no cash for petrol or food!! He then showed up an hour late the next day without an explanation. On top of it, he refused to stop for meals along the way and when we insisted, he'd take us to expensive places instead of the local places we wanted to experience. Apparently, we were told later that he gets free meals at these places when he brings in tourists.


Theresa Might is going through the specter of a brand new rise up by Conservative MPs intent on avoiding a no-deal Brexit.
About 35 Tory MPs might help a Home of Commons transfer to delay the UK's exit from the EU, if it seems probably the prime minister continues to be unable to safe sufficient backing for her Brexit deal.
In a letter to Conservative chief whip Julian Smith, the Brexit Supply Group of Conservative MPs – made up of Remainers and Leavers – have warned they may vote in favour of calls for to increase the UK's EU membership subsequent week.
The prime minister continues to be bidding to win "legally binding adjustments" from the EU to the backstop association inside her Brexit deal, which was overwhelmingly rejected by MPs final month.

If she doesn't then put her Brexit deal to the Commons for one more "significant" vote by Wednesday, Mrs Might has vowed to nonetheless permit MPs a vote on Brexit choices that day.
Sky Information has been advised two or three dozen Tory MPs could subsequently again proposals – prone to be introduced ahead by MPs equivalent to former Conservative minister Sir Oliver Letwin and Labour's Yvette Cooper – to demand the prime minister request an extension to Article 50 with a purpose to rule out a no-deal Brexit.
Conservative MP Andrew Percy, one of many leaders of the Brexit Supply Group, advised Sky Information numerous his faction might help a delay to Brexit subsequent week if Tory eurosceptics – who're vehemently against the backstop in its present kind – sign they're nonetheless unlikely to again the prime minister's deal.
In a warning to the European Analysis Group (ERG) of hardline Tory Brexiteers, Mr Percy advised Sky Information: "There's an rising variety of reasonable Conservative MPs who've persistently compromised and voted with the prime minister who're changing into more and more bored with the ERG appearing as a celebration throughout the occasion.
"In the event that they [the ERG] aren't ready to compromise – it is clear different MPs must default to their subsequent most well-liked consequence.
Within the letter to Mr Smith, first reported by the Day by day Telegraph, Mr Percy and fellow Brexit Supply Group chief Simon Hart wrote: "Quite a few members of our group have alerted us of their intention – ought to rejection of the deal look probably – to get behind amendments which are deliberate within the title of Oliver Letwin and others and which may have the dual impact of taking no deal off the desk and delaying Brexit.
"Additionally it is clear that members of our group are rising more and more pissed off by the intransigence – as they see it – of a few of our colleagues, lots of whom characterize very protected seats and are thus unlikely to be unduly inconvenienced by all of this.
"Not solely does this threat damaging the nationwide curiosity, but additionally that by failing to simply accept the realities of parliamentary arithmetic we're placing in jeopardy the very factor many colleagues have spent many years campaigning for; our exit from the EU.
"It's this severe threat that's driving an rising variety of our group to think about different choices such because the Letwin modification.
It has additionally been reported as many as 25 members of Mrs Might's authorities are able to vote for a Brexit delay until she guidelines out a no-deal departure.

You'll arrive at Route 14 after exiting either Black City or the White Forest area. Head along the grassy trail that leads east from there and then north to arrive at a bridge. There are plenty of trainers to fight along the way, if you need experience. You can continue traveling along grassy paths and bridges to reach a beach. Head west along the beach and then north if you're ready to exit to Undella Town, but there actually are several worthwhile stops along the way.
One of the most difficult of the seven sages to locate, Giallo, is hiding in Route 14. To find him, start through Route 14 and before the first bridge, head up through the tall shrubs to arrive at the bank of the river that flows through the area. Jump into the water and use the Surf ability to head up to the base of a waterfall, then use the Waterfall ability to scale it. You can jump left and onto a bank then to meet with the elusive sage. He'll hand over TM08 Bulk Up. Then Looker will come and arrest him.
From where you meet with Giallo, head left along the grassy bank and then battle Hiker Jebediah's pokemon. When you defeat him, jump into the water and ride down the waterfall to the lower area. There, you can hop onto a grassy bank to the left. Head along that bank to reach the entrance to the Abundant Shrine area.


A year after being married, we knew we wanted to have a little one around the house. We were so excited to find out we were expecting our first baby.
My pregnancy with J went really well. I got a little sick, but not bad. The biggest problems were the headaches and heartburn. But I felt pretty lucky because besides that I had no problems.
With J I had false labor there at the end for two weeks. It was really frustrating because I'd start labor and then a couple hours later it would just stop all together. I missed one of my closest cousin's wedding because of false labor and I was pretty ticked about it after 6 hours of contractions, missing the wedding and then not having the baby.
But night I started having contractions. They started right at midnight, and they were consistent. I didn't go to the hospital though because every one told me that I wouldn't be able to breath because the contractions were so bad, then I'd know it was time to go in. They never got that bad and I figured they'd stop anyway. But, then I felt a big kick and my water broke.
15 hours of labor, and 3 hours of pushing. That girl did not want to come out on her own. (I'm pretty sure it was mostly just because the epidural worked too well on me the first time). Then we had this beautiful little girl.
She was a really good baby. She had a little tiny cry that sounded like a lamb, and I was grateful for that. She was only 5lbs and 13oz. And she looked just like Mamma from the beginning.
Then the puking began. This poor little thing had acid reflux. And it was bad. She would go through 3 outfits a day and so would I. Sometimes I had to shower twice a day because the puke would get in my hair. Despite the puking all the time, she was still a pretty happy baby. And she slept well from the start.
She has been my little shadow since. And even if we have power struggles on an hourly basis, I still love her more than she will ever know. She's got a big personality in that tiny body. She's smarter than any almost 4 year old you know. She knew her ABC's at 18 months and would sings songs constantly. She can write her name, the letters, and numbers to 20.
So happy this little one made me a mom. And so I'm so glad she's ours forever!


Loved the pilot. I haven't seen a man this hot on my TV since a guy named Sawyer came along. I didn't see any icons, so I went and made some. For jenthegypsy. :) Hope you find one you like!
So it's good? I will have to check it out when I get back from Thanksgiving.
I liked it! Although I went in with middling expectations, so I don't want to overhype.
Apparently Deadwood fans find it lacking in comparison, but since I never got into Deadwood, I can't weigh in on that. I did find the main actor to be smoldering hot, though! Definitely reminded me of Sawyer. And I also really liked the female lead, who has her own, separate storyline.
For ME?! You complete and total dear, you! These are wonderful! I think I'm going with #2...or maybe #4. #1 is particularly awesome ~ heck, they're all good! Clever, clever you.
You know, I'm a huge fan of Deadwood, and I don't find HoW lacking at all. They are two entirely different beasts, imo. Didn't you just adore that opening scene of the pilot? The one in the confessional? They had me right there.
I also find the period in history very interesting. The building of a transcontinental railroad was an amazing and nigh impossible task. Just fascinating.
Yaaay! So glad you like. I can't believe no one else had made any yet, but 'twas easily done. :) And also glad to hear that you're enjoying HoW on its own terms as I've seen a lot of "it's trying too hard to be Deadwood" comments. The period is indeed very interesting. I was always fascinated by the John Henry myth, for one.
Cullen is so very Clint Eastwood-meets-Sawyer, so far. And I'd never heard of a Griswold (seems like it should be on Grimm!) but I'm a fan now, LOL.
Really looking forward to watching this. Glad you liked it! He is quite hot...love the beardy rugged Sawyer-type guys.
Hope you enjoy! I agree, those beardy, rugged Sawyer-types are smoldering hot!

It wasn't that long ago that tape recording was it. Period. Now, tape recording is for the same kind of people who tinker with a 1956 Thunderbird car on weekends.
With Apple moving toward an even more closed system and a pursuit of services, and Windows wanting Azure to be like Amazon...well, I sure can't do a lot of recording on Apple Music or Amazon's servers.
I can see a few possible doomsday outcomes...
* People hack computers that weren't really designed for recording to do recording.
* Linux-based PCs become "the computer for the rest of us" by fulfilling needs not served by Apple and Microsoft.
* A company like Yamaha or Native Instruments creates a computer designed solely for music...maybe something like an embedded system, and it gets support from other manufacturers for peripherals and software.
But I think it's a possibility that the golden age of pro audio riding on the coattails of consumer-oriented computers may be in its twilight years.

There is no doubt we will see many changes and the frequency of change will increase as time goes on.
I think tablets will become the cutting edge for recording, perhaps an interface that wirelessly connects?
For all the changes, some things have not changed much. Microphones and audio cables come to mind...
There is never enough time to be in a hurry...

But since those aren't the needs of the average consumer, I wouldn't hold my breath. More likely we'll see more machines like the upcoming Mac Pro - high performance and big bucks.
True, mechanical stuff doesn't change much. I haven't seen many addition to the periodic table lately Well, except for unobtainium.

"The rest of us" probably isn't going to get any bigger, but that's pretty much where Linux is today. I can run Mixbus on an Apple, a Microsoft, or on Linux, but I can't connect every audio interface to the Linux computer and get it to do all that it can do on the other platforms. Makers of multichannel audio interfaces just don't see enough business there to bother making a driver and support software that works the same as what they provide for the "us" platforms.
* A company like Yamaha or Native Instruments creates a computer designed solely for music...
Yamaha did that years ago.
That's really a great thing if it's true. But people don't like single-purpose devices. More people do field recording on there phones than on their Zoom, TASCAM, and Sony handhelds. And the dedicated hard disk recorders like the Mackie, Alesis, and a couple of others were short-lived because users could do so much more with their computers - or at least they thought so, and some do. I don't see a 200-track dedicated hardware recorder in my lifetime. Maybe you will - you're a few years younger than me, and have more influence on the industry as I do.

I am just babbling at the moment but I've been following tech stocks for a many years. There are incredible things happening and we only hear a peep here and there. For example, Nvdia is working on a a robot that uses AI and "learns" how to perform a task by watching a human perform that task.
I wonder if we are really limited to binary computations? What if somebody figures out how to write code in Base 10 and can render complex computations with far fewer processes? Are we not well past the point that basic laptops, desktops and tablets should only need one or two integrated chips?
Maybe the "Smart House" of the future has one wirelessly connected CPU with umpty bajillion gigs of RAM that can be utilized in various ways as needed.
There is so much competition and so many incredibly smart people competing that I can't imagine things becoming more cumbersome.
A touch screen monitor projected on your white desk by an all in one computer lamp that collapses into a pocked sized goodie?
A cable free studio? A 3d mic that is configured by settings in your software and sounds like anything and everything?
None of these sorts of innovations seem out of reach to me. I really don't see recording being segregated from other processing, somebody will write the code and it's a done deal.

What about the future of cloud computing? We're going there in the industrial world with connected services, and I've seen trends in some VI's becoming cloud based. Do you think the entire DAW will ever become cloud based?
Acoustic/Electric stringed instruments ranging from 4 to 230 strings, hammered, picked, fingered, slapped, and plucked. Analog and Digital Electronic instruments, reeds, and throat/mouth.

True, but the CX5 was designed to compete with things like a Commodore-64. In a doomsday scenario, there wouldn't be "other" computers as we know them...if Yamaha wanted to sell Cubase, they'd say screw it, let's just make a computer. That's what pretty much what all companies are doing for instruments, with embedded systems.
Also remember that back in the days of CX5, it was far more difficult to assemble your own computer. Today, making a PC isn't much more difficult than it was to assemble a model airplane.:) Yamaha doing a computer would be similar to Sweetwater doing Creation Stations.
Re: Will Computer-Based Recording Become a Blip? [Re: KuruPrionz] #3015466 11/10/19 03:54 AM
I hope you're right. But looking back...
Much competition + smart people = different standards = nothing gets traction.
The best example I can think of for that is how quad killed surround, and we have yet to see a dominant VR format. Okay, Oculus Quest looks super promising...cool!...oops, now Microsoft has the HoloLens but it's a lot more expensive...
In a way, having only Apple and Windows meant companies could do cross-platform stuff without too much of a stretch. Same with iPhone vs. Android. The different standards didn't get traction...

I want to write a short story about how after an X-class solar flare fries everything with a microprocessor or that connects to the grid, civilization basically loses its entire history because everything was stored in the cloud. After civilization recovers, which takes hundreds of years, they have no idea of the culture of the 2000s...until they find a well-preserved Best Buy in Minnesota, and they have to derive all their knowledge about our civilization from it. They conclude that we were really into genetic engineering, because a Disney company had produced smart mice and dogs. And Taylor Swift was some kind of goddess.
I'm not prone to paranoia, really. But it just seems a lot of "the cloud is gonna be perfect!" people remind of real estate people in 2007 who said "the real estate market will just keep going up and up! It'll never crash!" What happens when blockchain crooks have planted malware on every smart phone out there to mine cypto-currencies? What's happening right now with malware.spyware/ransomware is frightening.
But hey, I'm not going to worry. I have a nice vacation booked on the Titanic! It's a really cool ship, and it's totally unsinkable

The big thing happening in recording is audio-over-IP preamps. Rupert Neve has Dante pre's. So does Grace Designs, Pyramix, Sonosax, DAD (Avid OEMs it), etc. This means that the audio goes directly onto the network from world-class preamps. From there it can go anywhere, even multiple destinations at once. This is essentially how live sound is done now... stage box with pre's goes digital to mix engine. Whether the recorder is a "computer", or something like RADAR, or dedicated hardware like a Sonosax seems to be less interesting. The big change is direct digitization and transport. Classical is switching to digital microphones that digitize right at the capsule. The dynamic range and resolution are outstanding.
I have a Sonosax SX-R4+. It has over 130db of dynamic range, and the best preamps I've heard. The recordings are superlative. Better than Rupert Neve 5024's into Focusrite Rednet converters. Run off its batteries, the Sonosax unit has only the noise floor of the microphones themselves. There's no overdub. But for pure audio recording - it isn't a computer, and the files are world-class.
Dream Theatre recorded their last album with a rack of Rupert Neve Dante Pre's. Once it is digital and easy to transport, almost anything will do - the delicate parts are the short analog stages.
The audio production workflow? That is something different than the recording. That still seems best handled by large screen workflows unless one is fortunate enough to afford expensive digital or analog mix surfaces.

I was thinking of the Yamaha computer that was a Windows laptop with built-in MIDI IN and OUT ports, but I can't remember the model.
After a VIC-20, I assembled my first PC from a kit of parts from my local computer store. They assembled and sold standard and custom configurations, and the kit was a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than one ready to go. With two floppy disks (back then a 10 MB hard drive cost about $500), 256k memory, and a Hercules monochrome graphics card, it cost me about $700. It was the most expensive computer I've ever bought. I think that would have been around 1984.
But the thing that concerns me is that I believe in the importance of local storage. I would assume the odds are remote of iCloud or OneDrive becoming victims of ransomware...but again, thinking the unthinkable...what if one day, the Kings of Ransomware tell Amazon "$100 billion to get your servers back?"
A more plausible scenario would be simply that the cloud company you chose for your data (and applications, if you dared) just decided one day that they didn't have any more money, turned off the power, and walked out the door. It could even happen to Google some day.
We have Chromebooks now, that mostly run applications out of the cloud. They seem to work pretty well for schools - they're cheap and it's a good way to control what software the students use (and can't, at least not in class). Is there a DAW for the Chromebook? There's a class of computers now called "thin client" that have just about enough memory to run a basic operating system and seem to be getting some traction as a gaming computer. I have one running Windows 98SE and the Audio Precision 1 software (no cloud involved with that). I bought it for $50 from an eBay dealer. But with this approach you might have to buy one computer to run Pro Tools and a different one to run Cubase.

Dante and the other Audio over IP protocols is really just a different kind of wiring. The bonus you get with it is that when you have the system set up properly, you have a "virtual patch bay" and can send audio anywhere you want on your network. When it comes to a large facility, it can be a great cost-saver, but it requires a whole different way of support and operation.
I would expect that preamp makers like Neve, Sonosax, and Grace would put excellent A/D converters between their preamp and the Dante chip at the output of the box. Similarly, I would expect A/D converter makers like DAD and Merging Technologies to put excellent preamps ahead of their converters. And then there are companies like Focusrite and Prism who have been making both analog and digital hardware for a long time and make good stuff to which they can (and have) attach a Dante chip. But you can get a Behringer digital snake for your X32 mixer, too.
But, too, we're starting to see the "Portastudio on steroids" come back, too. The new TASCAM 24- and 16-channel mixer/recorder setups can do a perfectly competent multitrack music recording with no outboard computers - or you can use them with one if that's your choice, or you can "build your own instruments" from an outboard computer that isn't used as a DAW. And for a different kind of work, Zoom has a new mixer/recorder unit that's tailored to podcasting. And, being real hardware, they have a sensible and understandable user interface, good for the last generation, and a revaluation for the next generation.
But the crystal ball is very cloudy.
Re: Will Computer-Based Recording Become a Blip? [Re: Mike Rivers] #3015486 11/10/19 04:18 PM
Actually, it already did...Google+ shut down its consumer accounts last April. Tiny Pic (owned by Photobucket) shut down in September, citing declining online revenues. But I wouldn't discount the other scenarios, either.
There was a year when HC was hacked. It didn't really matter, because there was no information stored about people other than their email and password...no credit cards or anything. I was curious how common this was. I was shocked to find out that 400,000 sites had been hacked that year, including sites like the Department of Defense, the British government, pretty much all banks, etc. etc. There is clearly no defense against people who have skills. So far, there have only been a few incidents that came close to bringing down the internet, but they were uncomfortably close calls.

Yeah, I don't keep stuff on the cloud.
I don't use my phone for any internet services and have shut off as much of Google as I can.
My phone could still be hacked, they would get my contact list, maybe access to my Tracfone account.
It's pay as you go so not much to steal.
I made a fake email account to make a fake Facebook account, I did not give them my phone number and never will.
I have my passwords on a USB thumb and always copy and paste them. If a "key tracker" has been installed it will see that I copied and pasted. Foof.
Local storage and unplugged when not in use, always.
I am not paranoid, no tin foil hat.
When I moved up to High Sierra, my Mac found a dozen Wi-Fi portals within striking distance. I have a friend who could have hacked at least one of them.
I use cable for internet access. Still hackable but much less common.
Welcome to the "real world!!!"
A yaer ago in September Facebook publicly announced that 50 milion accounts were hacked. The stock went down, and then back up.
Seems like an easy way for an insider to purchase stock at a discount, that's one evil thought.
They haven't announced any similar hacks, it is difficult to believe that it doesn't happen constantly.

Which is why I said "But I think it's a possibility that the golden age of pro audio riding on the coattails of consumer-oriented computers may be in its twilight years." Sure, maybe some people can spend $10K-$30K on a tricked-out Mac Pro, and for sure, Pixar can. But I can't, and probably most people with home studios can't, either.

My alias is analoguediehard, and while I love old stuff I have practical limits. In my book, analog tape recorders are just not worth going back to. No one is building professional multitrack tape recorders and when the playback/record heads on used multitracks wear out, you're f***ed. Digital recorders have matured and are just too convenient.
Note that I wasn't just talking cloud storage, but actual cloud computing. Your computer would just have to have a fast internet connection to transfer multiple tracks simultaneously, but with Fiber becoming more prevalent it is not far fetched. Your computer becomes a multichannel audio interface with a remote control panel interface. More like the old client-server scenario where they would have what was called a "thin client".
I can see Apple going this direction. They make a lot of "consumer be damned" decisions. Microsoft has always had to take the mindset of big business clients into consideration. Businesses don't like change or being forced into logistic decisions. Microsoft did try to push everyone to cloud based Office but got a lot of push back from the workforce and had to back off. The mobile employees who were the target of cloud storage and One Drive ended up having the most problems. I managed 600 network licenses and 300 Microsoft Office licenses. Value Added Partners tried to get me to convert to a cloud based Office 365 and I refused. Ironically two reps that tried to get me to convert later confessed that they changed back to regular Office after a few months. Before I retired I did change our medical record to cloud based, but I wrote a LOT of policies and procedures on what to do if the Internet goes down. You cannot turn away a sick person just because the internet is down and you cannot access their file.
The company that does our electronic medical record offered a product that would allow clinicians to go into homes with no internet access, enter data onto the laptop, and hold it on that computer until it could be synchronized with the cloud. This feature was a development of a larger, nationwide tech company and required expensive licenses. It never worked right and most companies trying this feature had to drop it. There were just too many issues with the algorithms that decide what bit of information is the latest and correct. The latest time stamp does not always have the newest or correct data. What if the clock on the notebook computer is off? What if more than one person is accessing the chart. A clinician visiting the patient at home may enter information at the same time that someone else is transcribing doctor notes or accounts receivable is correcting bad payer information. Even companies that are now trying to build this into IOS games are having problems. I had a game stored on two different iPads. An iPad Pro that is home use only, and an iPad mini that I travel with. It could not keep straight which is the newest data, what is on the cloud or what is on the iPad. I would get messages saying "We have found a more recent save version" and then it would automatically update my data and I would loose play time.
So why am I going on about this? Imagine you are working on a music project and decide to travel. As you move on and off of network coverage the automatic syncing routine causes you to loose a great song idea, or the work a collaborating partner did is lost when you return from your trip and your data overwrites the track he worked on. This is going to happen. Major players are going to throw a fit and it will get national attention. Then Microsoft or a partner will offer a solution that lets you go back to the old way of doing things.
There is a revolution quietly evolving in manufacturing.
It could shift paradigms as it should make manufacturing complex devices more efficient and profitable.
There are three major factors, all progressing rapidly. Artificial Intelligence, robotics and 3d printing, all of these keep pushing boundaries.
In my mind, it is only a matter of time before laptops will be produced in factories that have just a handful of humans on staff - technicians primarily and possible a janitor.
Intial investment will be high, "keeping up with the Joneses" will be costly but labor costs will plummet.
At risk of being too political, the problem then will be how will consumers without jobs be able to afford to purchase commodities? There are solutions, I am not going there!
Since companies continue to introduce new products for recording constantly, I suspect the actual numbers taken as a whole are significant. Home recording has a fairly hefty consumer base.
If there is profit to be made, it will be made.
So I do not fear the future of consumer based recording, it will be interesting - there will be a learning curve - but it will not wither.
Re: Will Computer-Based Recording Become a Blip? [Re: J. Dead] #3015655 11/11/19 08:07 PM
Yes, it's VERY likely things will go that way eventually, with the "mainframe in the sky" and us with dumb terminals instead of computers - if for no other reason than it appears both Microsoft and Apple want that. But the question is when. Fiber-optic penetration is projected to be 15% in US households for 2020. The last two years, penetration has increased by only 0.3% a year on average, and that's the same projected growth for 2020, so it's a slow climb. Here's some more info, current as of 2016:
https://www.statista.com/chart/4392/fiber-adoption-in-oecd-countries/
Canada, Germany, England, Italy, France, and Australia, which participate heavily in internet music sites, aren't in the top 10 so presumably they have total broadband subscriptions below 25%. So I don't know how long it will take for the world to hit, say, 75% fiber-optic subscriptions. And if AT&T is involved, it will probably be never
But with the mainframe/dumb terminal scenario, do we really want a handful of companies to control all the world's data? SmarterASP.net, with 440,000 customers, was hit with ransomware over the weekend and best guess is it will take two weeks before they restore everything (if they can). Backend databases were hit, not just the public-facing aspects. It's the third major hosting network to go down this year from ransomware. More and more, it seems the only protection is disconnected workstations.
One reason that the spread of optical has slowed to nothing is the government's push for landline providers to convert everyone to a wireless delivery system, voice and data. It took me 5 years to get an optical line at our office were we have our servers. The first three years I was told that it would never happen because the repercussions of violating the initiative were too big. Years ago SAMSHA forced medical providers to ask all clients if they are feeling pain and if they need medication for that pain. You don't ask the question, you don't get to bill services to Medicare or Medicaid. Experts now see this as the spark that ignited the boom in prescription addiction. Techs that know what is happening with the initiative to get rid of landlines for voice and data see the same type of disaster. Data transfer needs are booming and the available frequencies for wireless cannot handle the load. As a country we are falling further behind in data transfer infrastructure. Ironically this is a bit of a boom for TV cable providers. In my area people are going back to cable because they provide better internet service. At my house I am limited to a 10 MB line and get about 7. Cable offers 100 MB in the area. Too bad they will not run it to my house because they don't want to deal with the subdivision rules of putting everything underground. Right now they are getting enough new business that they can focus on the easy to access areas.

Sometimes I really, really hate been right. I've been talking for years about the frailty of the net - which was never designed with security in mind. People just don't realize that uploading a bazillion bytes of data to YouTube, blockchain, cypto-currency mining, and DOS attacks have consequences. It's like driving a car a car without brakes - as long as you're driving uphill, you're fine. All you need is one 15% grade to screw up your life.
Can you talk about the fervent Mac fan base and how important it is to Apple's mystique and reputation?
Phil Schiller: I don't use words like that because I think people use those against our customers to make them sound a little crazy and religious. And that's not really the case when you meet them. We just have great customers who love the Mac.
College students' [use] is dominated by Macs. In the majority of creative fields -- writers, video editors, music creators and programmers -- I think that's an area that's super strong. We love that intersection of creativity and computing technology. That's something that's always been true to the core of what we love at Apple.
It's not about religion, it's not about fans. It's actually about the right product for incredibly creative productive groups of people with their computers.
[My emphasis]
clonk
The Mac has always had a bigger market share among "creatives" than the general public. My concern is that it will tilt toward the well-heeled ones. There's nothing wrong with that; it's a niche that needs to be served, and high performance with high margins make the users and companies happy. But I just don't know if an iMac is "the computer for the rest of us." It may end up that the lower tier of recording uses tablets, the middle tier Windows, and the upper tier Mac.
With either Mac or Windows, I just don't want to end up doing all my music on a dumb terminal. I have so many hard drives and optical drives hanging on my computer, it would be an effort to integrate that with a cloud/services based platform. But if that's where Microsoft wants me to go, and the only option is to spend $5K-$15K on a Mac Pro, well...
Then there's this - Phil Schiller talking about the fabulous new Mac Pro. In 2013. Go to 3:28...this is the presentation where he said "Can't innovate any more, my ass." We all know how this story ended up - boxed into a corner that ultimately drove some (many?) people to Windows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2eFQOBlqJEY
I'm sure the guy's sincere, and really believes what he's saying. And I think it's safe to assume they've learned from the mistakes of the previous generation. But it just goes to show that Apple's no different from any other company (hey Microsoft, remember Bob? Zune? Vista?) where the reality doesn't always match the hype. As to the Mac Pro, maybe this time it will. I came very close to plunking down my bucks on the 2013 Mac Pro based on the hype, but I'm really glad I didn't.
Perhaps home built computers running Linux are the next phase?

The Rebel Sweetheart.: Down the Long Road of Grief.
The pendant that he used to wear with his collar is now tied to a silver chain... and hangs around my neck.
Our names at the back of the pendant.
It's exactly a month today since Stalin passed away, but until now everything feels surreal. Most days, I'd still wish that this is all just a bad dream. Something that would go away when I wake up in the morning.
Sharing with This or That Thursday, and lots of Wordless Wednesdays.
sad to hear that Stalin passed away .I know how it feels.Dogs are part of out family and we don't want them to go or die.
Our beloved dog, Sport passed on Dec 7. Almost 4 mos and it's been so hard. He was almost 15 years old.
I don't know what to say. Just think of the good times.
Stalin must be a very good dog that you can't get over his passing. We had a dog once who is very close to the family too. He died of old age. His name was Angelito.
It is always sad to love the companionship of a good dog.
Sorry to hear about the lost of your dog. It does take time to get over the grief.
I am so sorry you lost your beloved Stalin. I think about that from time to time knowing that I will outlive my two yorkies. It always puts me in a state of panic to be honest. My husband was most decisively not a dog lover until them and from day 1 that he had them in his home he was hooked. I wish I could say it would get better but do try to remember all the joy he brought you.
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is like loosing a family member.. worse even. It's been a while since we have lost a "family member", however with 3 of our 4 doggies being over eleven years old... I know that day will be soon. Blessings to you my dear friend.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I honestly don't know how I will cope if Alta were to pass suddenly. I consider her my first born!
i feel you Czjai. sorry about the loss of your dog. i know how it feels. i lost 5 dogs in a row bec of parvo attack by using the same cage as my first dog used. since then i can't own a dog. too sad!
so sorry about your dog!! sounds like you loved him very much.
What a beautiful memory! You should sell your idea!
Oh, I am sorry for the loss of your dog.
so sorry for you loss! We don't have a dog, but I think my husband would be lost if we ever lost our cat. it's amazing how a little animal can work their way so deeply into one's heart.
your dog will be happy for sure knowing that he's being remembered.
Its really sad to lose someone you cherish for quite sometime. I've lost almost most of my dogs and I really feel your grief right now.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Gym Challenge
Matthew Miller 08 Jul 2019
Pokemon Sword and Shield's Gym Challenge content has been shown off in today's new trailer for the Nintendo Switch Pokemon RPG. This includes a deeper dive into the new generation's gym challenge and some possible story characters.
In addition to the existing gym leaders, Milo (Grass) and Nessa (Water), we'll be facing off against either Bea, a fighting type specialist, or Allister, a ghost type trainer — based on whether you're playing on Pokemon Sword or Pokemon Shield.
Certain towns will have different Gyms that you can challenge depending on whether you're playing Pokémon Sword or Pokémon Shield!
In Pokémon Sword, you'll face Bea.
In Pokémon Shield, you can challenge Allister.#PokemonSwordShield pic.twitter.com/Stu6w5iS0E

We also got to meet the President and Vice President of the Pokemon League in the Galar region: Chairman Rose and Oleana.
"Rose is the chairman of the Galar Pokémon League and also the president of a large business conglomerate," Rose's official description reads. "He's made the Galar Pokémon League world-famous by implementing Gym Battles featuring the Dynamax phenomenon.
He's also the one who first endorsed Leon for the Gym Challenge. It seems he has quite the eye for talent!"
Oleana is described as being, "Rose's secretary and is known for her calm and collected personality. She also serves as the vice president of Rose's company and is in fact largely in charge of the day-to-day running of the company."
Presumably these two will either serve an important role in the game's upcoming story, or they'll fill a similar role to the Elite Four, with Leon acting as the champion and final boss.

So tomorrow, I'm playing a sold-out concert (in orchestra), for which we had a about 5 hours of rehearsal. So I thought this would be a good time to touch on my Game/Day Performance Day routine and how I apply them to performance.
This means 9 hours for me but I usually just listen to my body.
In sports, this means staying warm and keeping muscles loose until right before the start. On concert days, will still pack layers, but most important, I always wear gloves when I'm playing to keep my hands warm and nimble. Glenn Gould did the same thing.
A good breakfast with protein is mandatory. I stay away from caffein though, since it make me jittery. Most of us know what it feels like when blood sugar drops, and our bodies slow down. But when our blood sugar spikes, our body has to expend extra energy to make insulin to store the extra sugar that process leaves us with less energy than we originally started with.
I like to warm up with scales and excerpts for an hour, take a 30 min break to do last min-prep and stretch lightly before the concert and be backstage/onstage warming up for another 30min before the concert.
I like to visualize/walk though my race course before I run, for performances, I just listen to the recordings repeatedly and follow along with the score if I have it in front of me.
I'm extremely near-sighted so and my eyes get tired regardless of whether I'm in glasses or contacts. Generally, eyes get tired because when we're reading because our corneas are locked into one position while we focus at a specific depth. Changing the depth of focus can feel lighter on your eyes so I will often switch between glasses to contacts and vice versa. If you've practiced in contacts before, you'll probably already have a good handle on whether how long it takes before your eyes de-oxygenate and get blurry in contacts. Also when my glasses are off, my eyes are completely relaxed, so on concert day, I wear glasses while warming up, and take my glasses off whenever possible to keep my eyes rested and then just put in my contacts before the concert.
Depending on how nervous you are before a performance, you could do anything from light exercise, to meditation to breathing exercises. They key for me is always to time it so that I'm not rushing before I get onstage.
So I hope this helps. Time for me to get some rest.


The universe is our inspiration. Anything and everything that exists in this world of ours could inspire a jewellery designer to create something new, be it nature, architecture, different cultures, legend, fairy tales - the list goes on. You just need to know how to spot it!
The illusory nature of reality and the way it changes are Ichien's biggest sources of inspiration. It is hard to imagine that we exist in several realities at once. Many believe that there is only one world in which seven billion people coexist and that this is the world we see every day. But in fact, we each have our own reality, which means we are surrounded by seven billion parallel worlds, all of which have the power to form the basis of something beautiful.
In reality, every single person is a unique model of the universe, and it goes without saying that any of these individual universes can be the source of inspiration for a new piece of jewellery. This inspiration from the characters of individual people explains why Ichien so often works on bespoke projects. He encapsulates the essence of the wearer's personality in the jewellery he creates, which can often have the power to reflect certain traits they might not even have known existed.

Basic storyline: A short-trip down short-con memory lane. This originally appeared in The Mississippi Review literary magazine and was listed in The Best Short Stories of 2004.
Pete knew how to do this trick where it looks like you catch a bullet in your teeth. It required two people, obviously–one to shoot and one to catch. He used to do it with his friend Hoover's dad, who had a farm six miles away from his own. Hoover's Dad had been a magician for a while in the seventies. A magician and a gun nut, which Pete – even from the day he met him – always thought was a wretched combination. Later he thought differently. He felt for magicians. It was a calling as much as anything was, he thought. And the fact that you could stick to it, even when it was really no better than being a birthday clown, meant something. Anyway the point is that Pete always thought of the gun trick before he practiced his trade, which was graft. You could get cold feet, if you had half a conscience. But when you remember you've pointed a gun at a man's head and pulled the trigger, it's remarkable how unimportant everything else suddenly seems.
Pete was talking to one Larry Fischer. Larry Fischer, Esq. They were negotiating terms. Larry was a lank, charming, fruitcake lawyer, tall for the trade. There were few tall lawyers, Pete had discovered. Larry wasn't a colleague or client, though. He was a sucker.
"I can only afford half that," Larry pleaded, sotto voce.
He still had a tremor of shame in his voice, but mostly he glowed with the relief of the guilty.
"Make the check out for as much as you can afford. I'll go back, look up a few things, and if there's a problem with what you're giving me, I'll get in touch with you."
Pete had sidled up to Larry as he got off the shuttle from La Guardia. They walked together for a moment while Pete showed Larry the pictures he'd taken. Larry'd tripped and nearly wiped out, stumbling a few feet with his briefcase in one hand, overnight bag in the other, holding them out like he was riding a motorcycle. Pete had grabbed a handful of Larry's suit coat, righted him, then steered him over to a WH Smith. They now stood very close together behind an armpit-high rack of mugs and refrigerator magnets.
"I want your watch, as well," Pete said.
"She gave me the watch."
"Did she?"
They exchanged a look. Pete didn't really have a range of expressions. Usually this meant that people just forgot about him. Unless of course he was looking right at you and wanting money. Pete knew that people
would read all kinds of things into his face then.
An instant, awkward smile fell across Larry's face. The muscles in his neck twitched like a bird.
"I guess I … I think …" Larry stammered.
Pete pulled a hardcover book from a shelf and handed it to Larry: "You can write the check on this. Does that sound good?"
"I need a pen. I mean, I've got a pen. It's …"
Larry started to open his briefcase when his hands went wild. Pete was reminded of the leaves of an aspen pine. Then the briefcase threw up all over the place, and Larry scrambled to the floor.
Pete sighed and pulled him back up by the arm.
"C'mon, Larry. It's Larry? C'mon, pull yourself together, huh?"

Florida schools, hospitals and charity groups have been helping care for more Haitians than all other states after Haiti's devastating earthquake, and they worry about how the influx will affect them.
Public schools are unsure how they're going to pay for more than 1,000 Haitian students who have enrolled in the schools since the earthquake Jan. 12.
Hospitals neared the saturation point before Washington freed federal dollars to help with the deluge of patients. Charity groups serving as funnels for aid to the quake-battered nation are worried about donations drying up for local needs.
"At one point, Florida had over 550 patients, and North Carolina had taken four," Florida Division of Emergency Management Interim Director David Halstead said.
Florida was ideally situated to lead American relief efforts because of its proximity to Haiti, a large Haitian-American community living there and a long history of dealing with large-scale events, from hurricanes to mass immigration waves.
Halstead said state officials viewed Haiti as Florida's "68th county" and kept their emergency operation center open for 29 straight days to help.
Donation boxes popped up in schools, hospitals and fire stations around the state. The University of Miami set up a 240-bed field hospital at the Port-au-Prince airport. A South Florida Task Force made up of 80 search-and-rescue experts was on the ground within two days.
The demands have been constant, straining a state already facing a budget shortfall nearing $3 billion for the upcoming year.
Republican Gov. Charlie Crist sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 15 days after the earthquake asking HHS to enact the National Disaster Medical System to distribute patients to other states and assist with federal funding.
Patients have since been sent elsewhere, including Georgia and South Carolina. Bruce Rueben, president of the Florida Hospital Association, said "glitches" are expected after such a massive disaster, but things have largely gone smoothly.
James Notter, superintendent of Broward County Public Schools, said the district has been able to accommodate more than 500 students who have enrolled since the earthquake. School officials are talking with the state's Congress members to identify funding to help ease the burden.
"As long as it maintains this trickle in, it appears that we're able to handle it," Notter said. "If I get a phone call and they tell me 1,000 kids are going to show up Monday . . . that's where we're going to get caught short financially."
Charities in Florida are bracing for possible drops in donations after the outpouring of support for Haiti relief efforts. The American Red Cross is changing its usual push for donations during Red Cross Month in March.
"We recognize that a lot of people have given already," spokesman Roger Lowe said.

Does Closing One School Music Department Really Matter?
The day the music died in Fulton and 1,000 jobs disappeared
12:45 pm March 19, 2010, by Maureen Downey as seen in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The rock and the hard place collided in Fulton County Thursday night and shattered 1,000 school jobs and the musical ambitions of hundreds of young students.
Among the casualties of the budget crisis in Fulton will be elementary school band and orchestra
The jobs and the much-loved elementary school music programs are casualties of the great Georgia budget deficit that is threatening to destroy everything in its path.
The news wasn't as bad in Cherokee, where the superintendent said he will cut at least 41 teacher and 76 support positions next year because of the budget crisis. But more bleak news could be coming in Cherokee. "I think we will have to eliminate more than that," said Superintendent Frank Petruzielo after the Thursday night board meeting.
According to the AJC account of the emotional Fulton meeting:
Despite pleas to the contrary, Fulton County school board members Thursday night voted 6-1 to cut nearly 1,000 personnel positions, including more than 500 teachers, from its 2011 budget.
Superintendent Cindy Loe said the cuts, which included 100 custodial jobs and 59 positions in the district's popular elementary band and orchestra program, were needed to offset a $120-million deficit.
Board president Linda Bryant said that the budget crisis was not unique to Fulton as school districts across metro Atlanta have been grappling with budget deficits. She and other board members said they do not take thecuts lightly and that they have tried to make the right decisions.
Said Bryant: "I can hardly stand to see anybody lose their jobs but we are doing the absolute best we can … even with the music program. I hate all of this but with the state of the economy, you just can't do anything without money."
The cuts were on top of more than $34 million in cuts approved in February, when the board voted to increase class size to the state maximum across all grades, eliminate the pre-kindergarten general fund and summer CRCT re-take program and to reduce the school calendar from 180 to 177 days. The board also approved eliminating more than 60 central office positions for a savings of nearly $4 million.
The system is proposing a 2011 budget that is about $137 million less than the 2010 budget, from $857 million to $720 million.
Parents and students had clearly picked their battles. Some who gathered at Dunwoody Springs Charter Elementary School wanted to save teacher jobs. Many were there to make a last ditch effort to save the district's popular elementary school band and orchestra program.
Binita Patel, a junior band student at Chattahoochee High School, told the board: "I am who I am today because of Fulton County music education."
At this point, it would take a march on the Capitol by hundreds of thousands of parents to get the General Assembly to reconsider its reluctance to raise taxes to protect schools from deep cuts.
But without a tax increase, it is a given that "non essential" programs and people will continue to disappear in Fulton, Cherokee and across the state.
The Film's Goal
The goal of the film is threefold.
First, to bring this true story to the screen as great entertainment.
Second, to inspire many of our future musicians and keep the spotlight burning brightly on the critical need for music education.
Third, to set up a non-profit foundation that will raise funds and help stem the epidemic of school music department cuts across the country.
The Film's Design
The film is being designed to have maximum awareness by filling out roles with A-list actors who share a deep appreciation of music. And by placing iconic music artists, from across all genres, in small "character" cameos. Additionally, these artists, along with many others, will record brief testimonials sharing their personal journeys, key influences and deep support of music education.
A dozen of these testimonials will appear before the film's end credit roll. Dozens more will be added to the extended DVD release. This combination of star talent will ensure wide appeal and lift the film to event status far beyond the massive built-in audience.
