A conversation about legislation dealing with "parental notification" when a minor wants an abortion. Plus, a UNH professor honored with a Grammy award. We'll talk to him about his big win. |
| Intro Parental Return to index of stories... |
Hello, I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to NH Outlook. One of the most contentious issues at the State House in recent years has been parental notification in the cases of minors seeking an abortion. New Hampshire's last parental notification law, which had no specific health exemption for the mother, went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court before it was sent back and then repealed last year. There are several bills at the legislature this session dealing with the issue again. One bill, that has the support of Governor Lynch, calls for adult counseling of any minor seeking an abortion. Another bill, introduced by Representative Fran Wendelboe, aims to restore a stricter version of parental notification. Outlook's Richard Ager spoke with the sponsors of both of those bills at the New Hampshire Political Library housed in the State Library in Concord. |

How math was used to restore a grammy winning performance. |
| Intro Grammy Winner Return to index of stories... |
Woody Guthrie may be long gone but his music lives on. In fact, many consider his song: "This Land Is Your Land," an unofficial national anthem. His folk music has been influential for sure, but why would it be up for a Grammy in 2008? And, what role did a UNH Math professor play in taking home the coveted prize? If you listen to the "dust bowl balladeer" himself, you can "hear" the answer. |

Nats Music UP: and fade under. TRK1: You're listening to a 50-year-old recording of American Folk Icon Woodie Guthrie. This rare recording of a live performance might have been lost forever had it not been for a team of engineers who painstakingly transferred the delicate wire recording to digital audio. or short tape: 43:24 what happens…in dust bowl write about where I am in dust bowl:55 and fade sound under. TRK2: The "Live wire" restoration project earned the team, including UNH Mathmetician Kevin Short, a 2008 grammy award for best historical album. SOT: 28:05 I was very pleased so many of people there knew Guthrie c.d. had heard it.thrilled restore things like that. Guthrie was a huge influence on a lot of modern musicans…so that was great 28:19 NATSUP …singing black diamond…Kevin: you notice that guys in magic shop able to take out crackle and background in recordings….way woody sang, originally. 42:00 TRK3: No easy feat given the equipment it was recorded on. SOT: Beth: 11: 32 explain to us what this is and what significance of instrument here 11:35 11:40 Kevin: I was just doing research on wire recording. woody Guthrie came from wire recorder… and I saw this device on ebay for not mnuch.couldn't resist.bought it.for real… its a very weighty box. sold brick of metal.open up like this and these spools.wires they recorded on. little filament of wire that's thin as human hair.it loolks likewhat you got at hardware store when a kid 12:28 they would put wire on one side.this is real.turn it on.spin thru.wire played role as cassette tape 12:40 12:58 in our case…13:00 this guy paul braverman went and took wire recorder like this. And recorded woody Guthrie concert. 13:08 the difficulty is -- 13:11 it only records on one side - how do you tell on a wire.trying to get it to make it sound.a real challenge 13:20 Kevin: 14:48 interesting thing about performance 14:48 is.not aware of. Til I got file. It was moderated by woody guthrie's wife :And… conversations back and forth - during performance 15:02 Kevin: 15:05 And no one had ever had any material like this 15:42 there's one song called Tom Job.famous.based on Steinbeck book.he tells story in 6:27 but, there were key portons couldn't understand lyrics.because of audio quality.after fixed it could understand the lyrics 15:59 TRK5: Short began his work on music restoration in 2006 - and has already made his mark in the field. SOT: Beth: 1:16 Not that many math professors can say they won a grammy…probably true 1:19 1:20 how does math equate to Music. 1:26 it turns out a lot of people use mathmatics when playing music so if you have home stereo and graphic equalizer where you can bring up bass.heard kids with wump…car windows.that's a case where they are adjusting the music for hi and low frequencies and all of that is actually a decomposition music into what mathmatecians would be able to understand at a deeper level 1:59 but people are manipulating music all the time 2:01 TrK6: Kevin Short puts mathematics to work solving problems using Algorithms, basically a formula or set of steps for solving a problem. NATS: 21:5O / Kevin: this particular algarithm…if understand it.ways to put together, timing corrections… build it back up suddenly audio has been restored to a nicer form 22:07 NATS: 17:59 17:59 when stuff recorded on these tape machines they didn't have atomic clocks.wobble. wowing.when recorded timing not perfect. Nats: now we go in and digitize with timing.don't match up.clocking.not accurate Have now. connect one to the other - and that's where mathmatics comes in 18:26 TRK7: With the help of Math, Jazz greats recorded on antiquated equipment --may one day be restored to their original clarity, as well as other more recent works. 17:13 We've had tapes from some classic rock groups.can detect errors and repair them so.we're hoping in next 10 years.super audio of great hits.they'll be restored using some of this technology 17:27 TRK8: This state- of- the- art technology is being used not only on music restoration, but old movies as well. NATS: NATS: 18: 45 The steven Spielberg close encounter 3rd kind.blue ray.we redid audio reusing same amalgarithys. 18:51 why in need of restoration. It turns out play old films audio track close to sprocket. stretch out films.causes same kind of problem as stretching tape so …when get audio of old films in storage. audio distorted somewhat.some good ears. amalgariths good at restoring it 19:25 SOT: Beth 27:01 Has Math given you better apprecation… of music 27:02 27:07 it has given me appreciate of things never focused on. 'analyze music.part of key performance.when squeak bench,slide fingers on strings… background noise.but if you want to preserve and ambiance have to recreate mathematically 27:42 TRK9: Short is a teacher, entrepreneur and until the grammy award was best known for his invention involving the mathematics of compression techniques - The technology allows for the downloading of music to cell phones. NATS: 9:48 Beth: So, there are real life applications to Math… Yeah…real life applications in to many places. 24 hours a day worked on things like trying to analyze sizemaic noise… earth vibrations. To detect nuke tests, to breaking secure communications where people send secret message.to music compression and now music restoration of old recording. 10:17 TRK10: Short's mathematical analsyis on multiple channel sound could lead to even more innovation. |
