A modern, user-friendly, good value and surprisingly powerful
PC Photography package.
Photoshop is so dominant that it has almost come to define its field
- but it's certainly not the right photo editor for every user. To begin
with it's expensive and its high-end power is overkill for the average
home user. More importantly, for this largest market of all, Photoshop
fails to provide any functionality in the most important area of all -
dedicated handling of digital camera images. While Paint Shop Pro (see
page ) tries to match Photoshop's functionality across the board at a
budget price, MGI PhotoSuite has instead chosen to try and fill the gap
by targeting the more focused needs of the home photographer.
It's not just PhotoSuite's intended use that is so different. While Paint Shop Pro slavishly tries to copy the traditional Photoshop-style interface,
PhotoSuite breaks new ground. Running down the left-hand side of the screen
is the Activity panel which provides guided assistance to all commands
and tools, while across the top of the screen is the navigation bar with
buttons for accessing the program's seven main modules - Get, Prepare,
Compose, Organize, Share, Print and Browse. In many ways using the program
is like visiting a well-structured and well thought-through Web site.
This shouldn't be too surprising as PhotoSuite is actually built on an
embedded version of Internet Explorer 5.
The first of the PhotoSuite modules is Get which is used to access your
images from your computer or scanner or digital camera. The number of
cameras PhotoSuite 4 supports directly - Agfa, Epson, Kodak and Olympus
- has been increased, but you should be able to access most models through
the generic TWAIN interface. One limitation, especially compared to Paint Shop Pro's excellent image browser, is that the standard Open dialog can
only show one image preview at a time. MGI has thrown in a simple standalone
Viewer utility to help you quickly identify files but again this is restricted
to showing single images.
This is disappointing, but PhotoSuite makes up for it with its Organize
module. This lets you store multiple image thumbnails in named albums-
ideal for handling all your holiday or product shots for example. It takes
a little work to set up compared to Paint Shop Pro's instant browsing,
but it offers more power. To begin with you can add keywords for searching
and sorting. More importantly, albums can be used as the basis for slideshows,
printing and Web display.
PhotoSuite specializes in dealing with sets of images
- ideal for PC Photography.
Albums also come into their own in the Prepare module as their images
can be displayed in the Library panel down the right hand side of the
screen and dragged and dropped onto the central image window for editing.
The Prepare module is itself split into separate modules, such as Rotate
and Crop, TouchUp and Paint and Draw, to cover all editing tasks. The
level of power on offer isn't quite up to Paint Shop Pro levels, but more
users will feel comfortable with PhotoSuite's simple Brightness/Contrast,
Gamma, Fix Colour and Image Enhance commands than with Paint Shop Pro's
histogram adjustments and technical filters.
In terms of new power the Prepare module sees four main enhancements.
The first is the introduction of the Photo Sprayer tool. This is a pretty
typical image hose used for spraying bitmap objects, such as flowers and
butterflies, onto your image. Again the control on offer is surprisingly
advanced with customisable size, spread and opacity and you can also create
your own nozzles. The second is a reworking of the existing PhotoTapestry
effect. This takes an image and recreates it as a series of tiles based
on the collection of 30,000 supplied thumbnails. Now you can add your
own image to the tile set or create a new set from scratch - though this
is only practical if you have plenty of images and plenty of disk space!
Much the most impressive new feature is the complete overhaul of PhotoSuite's
Stitching capabilities based on PhotoVista technology MGI acquired from
LivePicture. Now you can create seamless panoramas simply by dragging
up to 48 images onto the main image window, roughly positioning them and
then selecting your camera lens type. You can even choose to create 360-degree
immersive panoramas. Generally the process is simple and the results are
impressive and you could easily expect to pay more for less powerful dedicated
stitching software.
The Stitching feature is excellent for building up
panoramas.
The fourth new editing advance is the improvement in what PhotoSuite
calls its "cut-out" handling. Essentially a cut-out is any selection of
the image that you make using the various marquee, magic wand and edge
finder tools and then float above the underlying image. Now cut-outs can
be stored by quickly sending them to the Library or by saving them to
file. You can also now change the edge fading and the overall opacity
of the cut-out to make it seem a more integral part of the underlying
image.
This is undoubtedly a step forward but PhotoSuite definitely
isn't the right program for producing advanced layer-based compositions.
Instead its cut-outs are better seen as object-based props and indeed
PhotoSuite provides a selection of props, such as hats and hair, for producing
photo-based projects in its Compose module. The obvious use is for producing
humorous cards and generally having a bit of fun but, amongst its selection
of over 1200 templates, PhotoSuite also includes some high-resolution
business options for producing calendars, posters, business cards and
so on.
The Compose module offers thousands of photo-based
projects.
Once you've finished preparing your photo or your project, the next step
is to let others see it. The traditional approach to this is catered for
with PhotoSuite's Print module. This offers a print preview in which you
can size and position your image either automatically or interactively.
Alternatively using the enhanced Print Multiple command you can print
multiple copies of the same image on the same page - important when photo-quality
paper is so expensive. As well as generic layouts PhotoSuite now provides
layouts designed for Kodak and Avery stock, but there's still no option
to create your own layout or to print different images on the same page.
Alternatively you can cut out the need for paper completely
with the Share module. This lets you turn albums into slideshows complete
with full control over timings and transitions. You can also add sound
and PhotoSuite 4 now supports MP3. If the person you want to show your
photos to isn't actually present you can use PhotoSuite's e-mail capability.
This lets you send individual or multiple files and lets you automatically
convert images to JPEG with the option of specifying a desired size. You
can even choose to send slideshows complete with an embedded player. Alternatively
for the widest possible access you can post your images to GatherRound.com.
The Share module lets you create advanced slideshows
which can be sent as email.
Web access of this sort is increasingly important and PhotoSuite's Share
module offers two new dedicated Web commands. The first is the Animated GIF command that lets you create and edit simple bitmap-based animations
for inclusion on your Web page. Like the slideshow feature this is based
on a storyline under the main image window where you can drag frames and
set up transitions. This is effective for slideshow-style effects but
useless for others such as motion-based animation. Here you have to edit
individual frames and trying to swap between Share and Prepare modules
soon becomes a major headache.
The second new command lets you output image albums or selected images
as Web pages. This support is based on the use of pre-designed templates
that you can customise to add your own titles, captions and dates. You
can also add or delete any object on the page, which is just as well as
the default designs are pretty awful with horrendous backgrounds and distracting
animated GIFs. Once you've customised a template, however, the end results
are generally impressive though I would have preferred some simpler templates
based on a thumbnail index and full-size image pages rather than the combined
slideshow pages.
Web templates can be customised - which is just as
well.
All told PhotoSuite's Web capabilities are a mixed bag with advanced
features in some areas and surprising weaknesses in others. In particular
the omission of any serious JPEG and GIF optimisation control is bizarre
- why would you want to produce animated GIFs but not ordinary optimised
GIFs? Hopefully PhotoSuite 5 will include a dedicated Save for Web dialog
with in-built preview and advanced JPEG and GIF control. In the meantime
budget users for whom Web imaging is important might well want to hold
off to see what the imminent release of the Web-oriented PhotoImpact 6
offers.
PhotoSuite's mixed Web-imaging capabilities are particularly strange
as otherwise the program has completely embraced the Net. In particular
PhotoSuite's final module, Browse, takes advantage of its underlying browser-based
architecture to let you surf the Net from within the application! This
lets you drag and drop images directly from the Web onto your library
- copyright permitting. Via the dedicated PhotoSuite web site you can
also access extra content, new project templates, additional filters,
online tutorials and so on - all of which become a seamless part of the
existing program.
This is impressive stuff and MGI is leading the way when it comes to
merging computer and Web, application and content. There is a downside
to PhotoSuite's browser-based approach, however, in that the program can
sometimes seem unresponsive and really requires a speedy system to feel
comfortable. Other possible reasons for looking elsewhere include the
lack of advanced features such as vector, channel and layer-based editing.
It's certainly true that you get more all-round power with a traditional
application like Paint Shop Pro

Extinction-era coal linked to Chinese cancer epidemic
The people of Xuan Wei, China, suffer the world's highest incidence of lung cancer among non-smokers. Burning coal from the Permian-Triassic boundary may be to blame.

Unvented household stoves in Xuan Wei have increased exposure to smoke and particulate matter during cooking and heating. Women, who spend more time in the home, have a higher lung cancer risk than men.

The multiple flood basalt flows of the Columbia River Basalt Group, which erupted about 15 million years ago and covered more than 170,000 square kilometers, were only a fraction of the size of the Siberian flood basalts that erupted about 250 million years ago.

At the close of the Permian, 252 million years ago, conditions on Earth took a turn for the worse, nearly wiping out life on land and at sea in the planet’s most severe extinction event. Now, eons later, geologists are implicating a coal seam that dates to the “Great Dying” at the Permian-Triassic boundary in one of the modern world’s worst cancer epidemics.
Since the 1980s, epidemiologists have been scouring Xuan Wei County in southwestern China for the smoking gun responsible for the region’s astronomically high incidence of lung cancer. Home to 1.2 million Chinese, Xuan Wei has the some of the highest lung cancer mortality rates in the world, 20 times higher than the rest of China. A new study published in Environmental Science & Technology suggests that an unusually high concentration of fine-grained silicon dioxide, or silica, particles in the region’s coal could be to blame.
Two years ago, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a division of the World Health Organization, declared silica a carcinogen. Fine particles, which can be easily inhaled into the lungs, are a particularly virulent threat. David Large, a geologist at the University of Nottingham in England and lead author of the new study, and his colleagues examined Xuan Wei’s bituminous coal, which is primarily burned in household stoves for heat. They found that it contains a high concentration of fine-grained silica particles.
“This was the first time that geologists looked at Xuan Wei’s coal in detail and we found it is quite unique and potentially more toxic than most,” Large says. “Epidemiologists have long suspected the cancer was linked to the coal, but they didn’t know why this particular coal from this region was so toxic.”
“This study goes a long way to answering our big question of ‘Why here?’” says Robert Chapman, an epidemiologist at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand who has studied the Xuan Wei cancer cluster for more than 25 years but was not involved in the new research. The study is not conclusive, he says, and more work is needed to establish the medical link between the coal's high silica content and this type of lung cancer. But, he says, “it wouldn’t surprise me at all if silica turned out to be one of the bad actors in Xuan Wei.”
That Xuan Wei’s uniquely toxic coal deposit occurs directly below the Permian-Triassic boundary is no coincidence, Large says. “Here we have this very toxic coal and right on top of it is one of the most extreme climatic and environmental events that has ever happened on Earth,” he says. The massive Siberian Traps volcanic flows that spewed carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere 250 million years ago would have created a very acidic atmosphere, which would have lead to enhanced weathering of the solidified lava, Large says, including the Emeishan basalt deposits local to Xuan Wei. Such weathering would produce silica-rich groundwater that could have settled in highly permeable peat bogs, impregnating the future coal seam with silica particles early in its diagenesis.
The Xuan Wei situation is something of a geologic perfect storm, Large says. “As far as we know, this is the only place in the world where people are burning coal from the Permian-Triassic boundary,” he says. Furthermore, because the silica content is so high, the coal’s carbon and volatile content is relatively low, so people have to burn more of it to produce adequate heat.
Now that Large and colleagues have identified what makes Xuan Wei’s coal unique, Chapman says, more research is needed from a medical perspective to determine whether the silica is solely to blame or whether other compounds, like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, may be playing a role as well.
Currently, investigators from the US National Cancer Institute (NCI), based in Bethesda, Md., are conducting a systematic study, trying to link exposure rates to lung cancer cases in Xuan Wei. “We are looking at all the possibilities, including exposure to silica, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heavy metals and radon,” says Nathaniel Rothman, a physician specializing in environmental medicine at the cancer institute and an investigator on the NCI study.
The NCI study is an important step because while coal has been linked to cancers and other serious illness for years, “we know surprisingly little about the number of components of coal-fire gas that are toxic and how much exposure will lead to illness,” says Glenn Stracher, an expert on coal fires at East Georgia College in Swainsboro, who was not involved in the new study. “Every coal fire is different and some produce more toxic or carcinogenic gas components than others.”
The NCI study will take several years to complete, Rothman says. In the meantime, Chinese

The Annecy 2018 Olympic bid team will suffer a morale blow with French media reports indicating that President Nicolas Sarkozy has no plans represent his nation’s bid at the election in Durban, South Africa next week.The French bid, already an outsider in this race, will stand by and watch the heads-of-state of the other two candidate cities meet, greet and present to International Olympic Committee (IOC) members at the most crucial point of the race. South Korean President Myung-bak Lee will lead the PyeongChang team and German President Christian Wuff will front Munich’s bid during what could be defining moments in the two leaders’ nations.Involving heads-of-state in final bid presentations increased in importance for successfully contending a bid when in 2005 Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair traveled to Singapore to bring home a victory for London. His presence and personal candor with IOC members has been credited with the upset win over Paris and French President Jacques Chirac, who also attended. Sarkozy’s reluctance to travel to Durban could be a reflection of his lack of optimism in a race where Annecy has been lagging behind – and the risk of suffering the same embarrassing fate as Chirac.The final bid presentations for the 2016 Summer Games involved the state leaders of all four bids including President Barack Obama of the United States who controversially traveled to Copenhagen to represent his home town of Chicago – amid backlash that he should have attended to business at home. He was already on Air Force One headed home when he got the call that his bid was shockingly ousted on the first ballot.Sarkozy has been touring French provinces in what has been described as a precursor to a re-election campaign for 2012. Today he was in southwest France when he was reportedly assaulted by a man as he was shaking hands with the public. With already depressed public opinion poll numbers, Sarkozy has probably decided to avoid the risk of a visible connection to a failed bid.French Sports Minister Chantal Jouanno will arrive in Durban Sunday to represent the federal government’s role in the bid – that is unless Sarkozy

Syndicated auto writer Silvio Calabi reviews the latest cars and trucks.

Dude, Your Ride is Here: Nissan’s JUKE
Elegant, no; useful and entertaining, for sure: the Nissan Juke.
WHEN CARLOS GHOSN took over as CEO, more than a decade ago, Nissan was bleeding cash and a lot of its products were forgettable, me-too copies of various Hondas and Toyotas. Since then Mr. Fix-It—as he became known—has overturned Nissan like, well, like a tsunami. But a tsunami of goodness! Now mainstream Nissans are praised for delivering value-for-dollar and fine driving dynamics, and the company also makes lustworthy cars for motorheads (the 370Z, the GT-R, the G-series Infinitis) and even ecophiliacs. Nissan’s zero-emission Leaf is the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle.
There’s a dark lining to every silver cloud, though, and for Nissan it’s the urge to build cars for Generation X. Or maybe it’s Y or even Z by now; they who wear their ball caps sideways and call me “dude.” Thus Nissan also makes the two ugliest vehicles this side of the former Soviet Bloc: the cube (no capital letter) and this, the JUKE (all capitals). Every time I see it I think of a rhinoceros calf. Then I climb in and drive away and am reminded that rhinos are remarkably agile animals. And their babies are actually sort of cute.
No question that the Juke is right-sized for today’s new reality, at least for drivers who don’t cart Little League teams around. (It’s the same length as a Mini Countryman.) The rear seats are tolerable for two adults, so long as they’re not six-footers, and you can stack a week’s groceries inside the tailgate without having to fold them down. The back seats, that is. By the way, this does have rear doors; the latches are up there by the windows. Fuel economy that is only in the mid-20s is disappointing, but consider two things: This Juke has all-wheel drive, which adds weight; and all Jukes have a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine tuned for 188 horsepower. Those ponies make the Juke pretty lively. Dipping into the throttle squirts the car through traffic, while sensors and a computer keep a close eye on wheel spin. We’ve gotten accustomed to AWD systems that split power between the front and rear wheels as needed, but this Nissan can also divide it side-to-side, at least at the back wheels. (The 2WD Juke is pulled around by its front wheels, and it lacks independent suspension at the rear wheels.) In hard cornering or acceleration I can feel the car settle down under the grip of the AWD. Then the Juke corners nimbly and with a lot less understeer than expected. The steering is quick enough to contribute to this deftness.
A 6-speed manual gearbox is available. The automatic transmission is a continuously variable type with Sport and Eco modes. Nissan says these settings also tweak the steering and throttle behavior; I can’t tell the difference, but the CVT does perform well.
For 2012 Nissan offers eight models of Juke: S CVT FWD, S CVT AWD, SV CVT FWD, SV M/T FWD, SV CVT AWD, SL CVT FWD, SL M/T FWD and SL CVT AWD. I think this means there’s one for every budget, priced from the high teens to the middle twenties, and all manner of upper-end options are on the menu. Our sample has leather seats, satnav and satradio, a USB port, push-button starting, stereo and cruise-control switches in the steering wheel and so on. I can do without the oddly contoured garnet-red console, but now I’m just being an old fuddy-duddy.
It’s not a joke, it’s a Juke. And, as the saying has it, when you’re behind the wheel, the ugly goes away.

Alabama's coach Grant put his foot down
Releford, Steele set to return for Alabama
Alabama coach Anthony Grant says Trever Releford and Andrew Steele could return to the lineup tonight against Florida after being suspended for a game.
(Mark Almond | Associated Press | File)
By JOHN ZENORAssociated Press
Published: Monday, February 13, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 13, 2012 at 11:27 p.m.
MONTGOMERY — Alabama’s suspension-riddled team expects to get some reinforcements for Tuesday’s game against No. 14 Florida, but leading scorers JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell won’t be among them.
Crimson Tide coach Anthony Grant said Monday that guards Trevor Releford and Andrew Steele will “most likely” return for a game that could supply a huge boost for the NCAA tournament hopes of a team once flirting with the top 10 — or a second-straight setback minus key players.“The main thing right now for our guys to understand is the importance of making good decisions and understanding the consequences when you make poor decisions and then moving on from that and learning from that,” Grant said. “So we’re dealing with that. It’s disappointing and unfortunate that we have to deal with this in the middle of the season. “It is what it is, so right now as a team we have to focus on the things we can control, and we have a very challenging game here against a very talented opponent in Florida. We have to get ready to play the game.”Grant suspended Green, Releford and Steele indefinitely just before Saturday’s loss at LSU for violating team rules, sending them packing for Tuscaloosa before tipoff.That was also the second game of Mitchell’s suspension.The disciplinary actions left the Tide (16-8, 5-5 Southeastern Conference) without players responsible for 69 percent of its scoring, 57 percent of rebounding and 54 percent of assists at a time when the stakes are ratcheted up. Green and Mitchell are the team’s top scorers and rebounders, while Releford leads Alabama in assists and Steele is a key role player.Grant said his decision to hold the players out had much to do with the long-term quality of the program and trying to build “the values and standards that you want your team to represent.” He hasn’t elaborated on the reasons for the suspensions.Grant declined to say if the violations of Mitchell and Green were more serious, but reiterated that their suspension remained indefinite.“I don’t want to get into that, that’s just the way it is right now,” he said.This is the third time Grant has suspended Green, a first-team All-SEC player, during his three seasons, including a three-game string early last season and one game at the end of 2009-10.Grant didn’t rule it out when asked if he had a “three-strike” policy that might keep Green from returning.“I’ll make some decisions on that later,” he said. “Right now my focus is on getting prepared for Florida.”Alabama had risen to No. 12 in the rankings in December and won three straight before the LSU game.The bold decision on the suspensions was no surprise to Gators coach Billy Donovan, who was Grant’s boss for a dozen years at Marshall and Florida.“I know Anthony Grant about as well as anybody, and I think that he has got incredible integrity and character and knows exactly the way he wants his program run and what he’s going to do,” Donovan said.The Tide’s eight remaining players — half of them freshmen — managed to come fairly close before losing 67-58 to LSU, with freshman Rodney Cooper scoring 28 points. Alabama had beaten Auburn by 18 points without Mitchell.Now comes a much bigger challenge, even with Releford and Steele.The Gators (19-6, 7-3) opened last March with a 78-51 rout of a Tide team that still had aspirations of winning an SEC title and making the NCAA field.Florida is also short-handed, but because of injuries. The Gators won’t have their top subs, forward Will Yeguete (concussion) and guard Mike Rosario (bruised hip), for the game, Donovan

Mizrachi the provisional leader after WPT Championship day two
2008-04-22 14:12:21
Robert Mizrachi is the unofficial chip leader at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Championship event in Las Vegas.The exact chip counts have yet to be correlated, but it is thought that he is currently in the number one position with 523,200.Bryan Devonshire is likely second with 393,400, followed by Cory Carroll (384,700), John Celili (377,000) and last year's winner Carlos Mortensen (371,600).The field was cut down to 200 players during day two, which saw perhaps the greatest number of stars eliminated in tournament history.Freddy Deeb, Erick Lindgren and Antonio Esfandiari all got the chop, as did David Pham, Phil Hellmuth and Joe Hachem.Approximately a dozen more major titlists were also knocked out, with many more surviving, including Phil Ivey, Marcel Luske, Gus Hansen and Dave Ulliott.According to Card Player, "day two of the 2008 WPT Championship featured the most impressive field, pound-for-pound, that an open buy-in no-limit hold'em poker tournament has ever seen".

VRDS-25 from TEAC

transport, Denon DCD2560
with same dac AD1862
Feb 2008
Teac has a hell of a reputation, I don't know why exactly. Nothing
special sets them apart but maybe they are a little bit better in
marketing than their peers. For example Philips invented so many
wonderful all the goodies, all best chips,
mechanisms, etc and they don't have even 10 % of TEAC reputation.
Maybe it is the VRDS thing - every hifi rag devoted countless pages
explaining the principle of very rigid disc clamping system - how the
pressure clamping disc "prevents the CD from vibrations" but in other
players nothing prevents the vibrations and yet they still manage to
play well. So to me it seems like TEAC created an antidote to a
non existent poison, and then they sold the whole concept as their key
differenciator and they had to invent the poison. Clever people.
Anyway, they took the stock, middle of the range SONY mechanism KSS151A
(like in Sony CDP227ESD player)
and added a large puck on top of it. Is it good or bad - I dunno, but
it looks positively hitech.
To be able to sell the story even better - in this VRDS 25 player (they
named the player after the mechanism name - see how important the
plastic puck is to their marketing? Sortof like calling a car
Turbo.) they made the face plate of 10 mm solid aluminium and
everything
is oh-so-heavy.
To my big surprise - the main PCB is REALLY a very nice one. Almost
like in Copland. Premium parts, audio grade electrolytes, very very
neat auto-CAD of PCB layout, fully differential balanced topology and
OH MY GOD - the AD1862 super
duper chip. What a rare DAC. A white raven. To be found only in world's
best players, like for example in the best denon - the 2560.
This DAC has current output (the better, more kosher type) and it can
be lampized with R conversion. I used 570 Ohms which I had on hand.
I quickly cut the leg 11 of the chip from the PCB track (I mean I cut
the track leading from leg 11 to next parts - 4 opamps in a row per
phase.)
I wired the now freely floating leg 11 to lampizator leg 7 and then
from leg 7 to leg 9 - a resistor of 570 Ohms.
Surprisingly this player has balanced outputs.
Lampization is possible as SE ( RCA) and balanced XLR at
the same time.
I quite like plain and simple face plates like this one. The only minor
reservation in this player rating is it's very slow drawer.
Golden drawer in black player. Hmmmm.....
Great PCB - neat, simple, beautiful - everything is first class. Hats
off.
ASD-Audiotuning company from Germany offers upgrade replacement chips
for these two suckers on the picture's right - the demodulator and the
upsampler- NPC and the AD1893. The better parts from Mr. Andreas (we
paid some 100 Euro plus) are 24/192 compatible and the DAC is a
20 bit one. The clock is not typical - 18 ,xx meg. The upgrade allows
to squeeze the max from the 1862 DAC. It took me 10 minutes do de
solder and solder the upgrade.
I suspect that 1862 is the same as Burr Brown 1702. Something is
telling me ....
Enter Analog
Devices AD1862 N-J DAC chip
Four DAC chips in
a row. Mmmmmmm. Nice. One per channel per phase. They
go like this from bottom of the photo : L-, L+, R+, L-. I took
the signal from the inner pair.
Please ignore the most right yellow wire - my mistake (left channel
phase neg). Top-most blue wire is the earth.
Test hookup of the lampizator. (traces are cut underneath the board to
free float the leg 11 of each DAC, so it is not innocent kind of
reversible test.)
After good result from the test, I went for full lampization, internal
tubes, one per channel in anode follower mode - four triodes creating
balanced XLR outputs and RCA single ended too.
I started by removing the main PCB and installing Trichord 4 clock.
Below you see the crystal, two caps and a resistor that had to be
removed (18 meg crystal, not typical 16 meg.)
The new clock connects to the legs 1 of the 74HCU04 chip (signal) and
leg 7th - GND (see red lines).
The VRDS level two (middle) with composite bridge and cast alloy clamp
flywheel. Much much better than the ugly cheap level 1 CMK4 mechanism
from TEAC T1 (CD7)
Laser assembly and pickup is Sony KSS151A on magnetic rails - again -
very decent laser.
I simply love that PCB
As you see - this player has a transformer with dual primaries - 230
and 120 VAC. Good for all continents.
The XLRs and RCAs are so good quality that they do not need to be
replaced. They can stay.
The power supply section houses a nice, big, potted and encapsulated
transformer. Very nice. There is provision for 230/120 selection. The
raw supplies and rectifiers are heavy duty, oversized, and (whatever
that means) - FOR AUDIO. In my opinion that is BS because a cap can be
either good or bad, but FOR AUDIO means nothing. Just marketing
buzzword.
You see the AUDIO caps and my new bolt for holding the transformer of
lampizator.
This is empty space under the main PCB where all my new power supplies
and filters will be located.
New transformer installed. I had two secondaries of 110 VAC so I used
them in dual mono config.
A tube (two triodes) in balanced mode is ideally supplied from ons
ingle source. If positive signal causes one tube to draw current MORE,
the negative impulse causes the other half to draw EQUALLY LESS.
Summary current demand is CONSTANT and this is very good.
This is main AC cable of TEAC with added parasitic Lampizator brown
twisted pair that is transformer primary.
This way the Lampizator is connected AFTER the switch, after filter of
AC noise and after fuses as well.
In the central section of the player where the mechanism is located -
there is additional large power supply section with 4 gigantic caps and
some other stuff. So the main PCB gets very good power.
Above you see the SPDIF digitall output section. There is no
transformer for signal (good) and there is TOSLINK as well to the left.
It makes overall a nice transport, should you EVER want a DAC better
than internal AD1862.
The Lampizator power supplies are getting glued and wired together. On
the right - 12 V DC, on the left hand side - two high voltage anode
supplies (CRC filters and integrated bridges.
This is the resistor kit that goes on the socket. Two Cathode resistors
of 200 Ohms and two grid resistors of 240K. The twisted end becomes
system ground.
Lampizator circuit ready to go. Anode resistors are mounted away on
anode supply caps output. This makes the triode socket less congested.
Above: all power supplies are glued to the floor under the main PCB.
the long black thing is the power switch extension rod.
Dark red resistors connected to red wires are anode resistors in anode
follower setup.
The tubes were mounted above main PCB after I removed the analog output
stage - 8 op-amps and their capacitors. There was enough space for 2
tubes.
Red wires go to anodes of triodes. All grounds are connected together
in star fashion: both tube grounds, RCA's, XLRs, anode supply ground,
heater ground and main PCB ground.
XLR and RCA inputs were floated from the PCB and freed.
Clock was powered from now un-used OPAMP supply of plus 12V DC (on the
copper rail.)
SOUND of TEAC VRDS-25
The sound is
right there with the top players. League zero - which stands for no
compromise, best CD playback under the sun. It is not a winner, but
definitely in the same league as the best ones I tried.
The sound is overall the safest all rounder. Not as goose bump magical
midrange timbre as the TDA1541 players, not as thunderous superbass as
Wolfson, not as crystal clear trebles as Lampucera DAC CS4397, and not
as deep deep hallucination as from BB-1794 of the Shanling CD300. But
it has no flaws or
faults. Very highly recommended.
The tube: Russian 6H2P (6N2P) with SRPP and 200 Ohms in both cathodes.
ECC88 and E88CC works great as well.
2 days later: a very enlightening listening session with a comparison
between Audionote DAC 2 signature (2 x PCM63) driven by TEAC as a
transport versus
TEAC lampized. As good as the Audio-Note DAC2 is, the Teac
VRDS-25 walks over it. The
amount of hidden information that TEAC pulls from very familiar
recordings is just unbelievable. At the same time it is more powerful,
more spacious, and with stronger bass, which is is controlled and
powerful. My admiration for the application of the AD-1862 grows. I
like equally well the DENON DCD2560
The Teac is better built, but DENON

Authority official Barker thinks seven or eight months is plenty of time for the environmental process, but Moore isn't sure."Those EIRs are going to raise a lot of questions," he said. "If that's a necessary condition for proceeding, that could hold things up."The EIRs also will form the basis for the rail authority's final selection of a route for the tracks between Fresno and Bakersfield.Until that happens, the authority cannot seek or award bids for construction or even start buying the land it needs for the tracks.Engineers and planners also are working on the preliminary design for the system.By the time the authority expects to start soliciting bids from contractors -- late this year or in early 2012 -- this work is expected to be at least 30% complete.Contractors would complete the design and build the system. Under the federal grant agreement, those design-build contracts must be awarded by September 2012.Along the way, the state must submit detailed plans to federal officials for how right of way will be acquired, how roads and utilities will be moved, and how hazardous materials will be handled.But all of that still depends on funding, which is not yet pinned down and faces its own obstacles.Money mattersGov. Jerry Brown and the state Legislature must agree to allocate money from Prop. 1A to match the federal funds. Barker said the authority will seek its first installments of money in the state's 2012-13 budget.Prop. 1A requires that an independent panel of transportation and rail experts approve budget requests before any bonds are sold.The same panel late last year issued a report questioning the authority's lack of a detailed financing and income plan, lack of a business model for operating and managing the system, and lack of staffing to oversee the project.Some legislators also have criticized the authority's preliminary estimates of revenues and ridership as "unrealistic." One example: a projection of as many as 102,700 riders daily on the statewide system, including 4,500 boardings daily in Fresno."Obviously there are challenges and questions, and the onus is on us to address those questions," Barker said. "By the time we bring our budget request, we'll have to have all these questions answered."Should the Legislature reject the budget request, "that would be saying, 'No, we don't want high-speed rail,' " Barker added. "That would be telling the federal government to take back the $2.5 billion and saying we don't want it."If the armful of "ifs" are accomplished -- if the rail authority meets the deadline for environmental review, if it gets money from the Legislature, and if it awards construction contracts in time -- then it's on to the dirty work.Shovels in the groundThe rail authority suggests that building the segments between Merced and Bakersfield will create as many as 80,000 temporary construction jobs between 2012 and 2017.But because only 30% of the engineering is expected to be completed on the project by the time contracts are awarded next year, much work will remain on the drawing board until perhaps 2013 and 2014."We won't have 10,000 hard hats on the ground laying rail in September 2012," said Barker. "Final engineering will be the first phase of work being done."The first work that the public would see is likely to be land acquisition, clearing property and demolishing structures in the path of the tracks, said John Popoff, an engineer on the authority's management team.

High-speed rail route near Hanford reconsidered
A once-scrapped route option for high-speed trains through Kings County is in play again.
A line that bypasses Hanford to the west will be revived by the California High-Speed Rail Authority for consideration. The agency announced Wednesday that it will recall a controversial draft environmental-impact report for its Fresno-Bakersfield section for revisions that are expected to take five to six months.
The delay is based on feedback the rail authority received on the draft environmental report – a massive document of nearly 17,000 pages.

Even if state officials can scrape together the billions of dollars needed to fund California's ambitious high-speed rail plans, lawsuits from local cities and opposition groups still could delay, divert or derail the project altogether.
In the Bay Area, cities and nonprofits are suing over issues with the route and environmental studies. In Southern California, the city of Palmdale has gone to court over fears that rail officials will pull a planned Antelope Valley line through the city and reroute the tracks up Interstate 5 instead.
Perhaps the hardest-fought battle is yet to come in Kings County, where officials and residents say they'll do everything in their power to stop a 100-mile stretch of track from wiping out thousands of acres of prime farmland between Fresno and Bakersfield.

Deal signed for Central Valley part of rail project
California High-Speed Rail Authority officials said Wednesday they've signed a cooperative agreement with the Federal Railroad Administration that will provide $928 million in federal funding for the construction of the project's Central Valley segment.
Thomas J. Umberg, Chairman of the California High-Speed Rail Authority board of directors, said in a press release the announcement of the federal funds "makes good on the promise of our new draft business plan that the funding for the first segment is identified, committed, and we are moving forward."
The announcement comes less than a week after the Republican-led Congress voted to kill all high-speed rail funding beyond 2012.

The story of an unusual relationship -- and how an unruly giant healed a broken man.
Chris Gallucci ran away from home at 12. By 16 he was in prison for the first time, but not the last. His life was playing out on the fringes of society, characterized by rebellion and aggression. Change seemed unlikely until he happened upon the film set of Roar, a movie featuring Hollywood actress Tippi Hedren (The Birds) and her daughter, Melanie Griffith, as well as a variety of lions, pumas, tigers and elephants. Chriswas immediately fascinated by Timbo, the gigantic bull elephant known for its misbehavior, and applied for a job as an elephant trainer on the small ranch that was its home. To win Timbo's trust, Chris chained himself up in the elephant's enclosure and tossed away the key. It was the start of a 30-year relationship that would tame the savage in Chris.
Powerful photos capture the essence of elephant man Chris Gallucci's life: the small world of the ranch, walks with Timbo on the edge of the Mojave Desert, his training regime with the huge bull. Extracts from Chris's diary provide a window into his soul.
Elephant Man inspires with the silent power of an intense spiritual connection between animal and man.
Nomi Baumgartl is an internationally acclaimed photographer specializing in images that show the connection between man and nature. Her work has received prestigious awards, and her pictures are frequently published and exhibited.
Chris Gallucci, author, biker and elephant trainer, lives in Acton, California. Since Timbo's death, Chris has continued to work as preserve supervisor at Shambala, the wild animal reserve on the edge of the Mojave Desert.
Daniel Opitz is an award-winning filmmaker and founder of Ocean Mind, an independent film, photo and television production company. His work includes The Elephant Man (also called Tusks and Tattoos), which has been shown worldwide at film festivals and on television (Animal Planet).

Foreword by Daniel Opitz
"I love you" and "I could kill you." The world the Elephant Man grew up in was mean and hard. He left home when he was only twelve. Throughout his teens he was involved with the violent biker culture that developed in and around Los Angeles in the late sixties. Thanks to a falsified ID and too much pride to admit it, he found himself in jail for the first time at the tender age of seventeen.
His only true philosophy in those days was to show no weakness. While this mantra fueled the flames of his rebellion and brought him nothing but trouble, it also led to his eventual salvation: Timbo was a five-ton grey giant, who at nearly fifty years of age was North America's biggest and oldest African elephant bull. As stubborn as Chris himself, he too was unpredictable, fearless and always ready for a fight.
Chris was not looking for anything more than a job and perhaps some excitement when he rode his chopper into Acton, California, a small town on the edge of the Mojave Desert in 1975. He found a job as a welder on the insane set of the movie Roar, which starred over 100 wild lions, cougars, tigers and two elephants, as well as Hollywood diva and Hitchcock actress Tippi Hedren and her daughter Melanie Griffith.
When filming was completed, Chris and Tippi stayed behind with the wild animals. Together they converted what was left of the movie set into "Shambala -- The Roar Foundation," a non-profit organization dedicated to providing the animals the best life possible. Chris, who was drawn to gigantic Timbo from the very start, asked if he could be the elephant's new trainer. He got the job.
To understand what it felt like to be an elephant, Chris spent the first night with Timbo, attaching himself to Timbo's chain and throwing away the key. To gain Timbo's trust, Chris learned to control his own demons. "See," he says, "The more relaxed and at ease I am, the more I allow Timbo to be free." In the nearly 30 years they spent together, neither Chris nor Timbo got into serious trouble again.
You do not come across people like Chris Gallucci simply by chance; you get caught in their gravitational field. Chris and I got to know each other in the Bahamas in 2000, during a photo shoot with Nomi Baumgartl. A model had invited him along for his first vacation in nearly 30 years. After just a few days, however, Chris cut his Caribbean trip short. He simply could not bear the thought that due to his absence, Timbo would be again be confined and chained. Chris returned to his own small world and self-imposed prison at Shambala.
I have always been drawn to people who have pushed the envelope throughout their lives, personalities who thrive on enormous challenge. A year later, when I arrived in Shambala with my film crew to document "The Elephant Man," Chris was in the midst of a huge personal crisis. For the first time he regretted his lonely life, confined to a ranch in the desert with Timbo. He shaved his long beard, sold his beloved chopper and stopped polishing his meticulously sharpened knives. But Chris would not be Chris if he did not manage to pull himself out of this deep depression. As filming progressed, he gradually found his balance again. He started his journal again, grew his beard back and bought a new motorcycle and a '57 Chevy Bel Air that he had always wanted. We finished the film and became fast friends.
I valued Chris' simplicity, his attitude and way of looking at things, his entire essence, even Chris just being Chris. He never seemed to need such modern amenities as credit cards, computers or cell phones. Not because he was adverse to them, but because he was busy with other more important things. To me, he represented a sort of primal creature with an instinctive kind of wisdom and yes, an undertone of aggression. In a strange way, Chris became for me what Timbo was to him.
When photographer Nomi Baumgartl gets involved with a new subject it is not only with her camera, but also with her heart and entire being. Nomi was part of our film crew in Shambala. At one point she found herself in the middle of a fallow field with a five-ton elephant hurtling toward her. "Don't move!" Chris shouted, "Don't move!" Nomi closed her eyes and all was still. Suddenly she felt a moist, warm trunk in her face, and a suction so strong it felt as if she was being sucked into a wind tunnel. "Now he trusts you." At that moment she experienced the wondrous spiritual link between man and animal, Chris and Timbo.
Elephant Man is the inspiring story of how a wild animal tamed a wild man. Told through potent pictures and diary excerpts, it reflects on the powerful bond that can occur between humans and animals. Elephant Man describes their training regimen, walks through the fields together and the author's pleasure in watching Timbo play in the water.
- Katy Scope Katy Lifestyles & Homes 2009 06
Elephant Man is an intriguing diary of two stubborn individuals with personality. It is a remarkable, if somewhat insane story that will keep you coming back.
- Randy Midzain Winnipeg Free Press 2008 12 07
This is a story of redemption, of how a difficult animal made a human being out of a man.
- Bill Robertson Saskatoon Star Phoenix 2008 12 13
[Gallucci's] diary forms most of the text, though Baumgartl's sensitive and moving photographs--of both man and beast--are the book's core.
- The Globe and Mail 2008 12 06
Animal lovers will cherish this love story between Chris Gallucci, an ex-biker, and Timbo, a five-ton grey African elephant bull.... Baumgard's photographs of the two show an amazing similarity in their eyes, facial wrinkles, even their expressions. These photos show less wildness in Gallucci than intelligence and sensitivity to Timbo. Some close ups could easily be of either one. Timbo

Will there be animals in heaven?
By Randy Alcorn
Elijah was taken up to heaven in a chariot pulled by horses (2 Kings 2:11). We’re told there are horses in heaven (Revelation 6:2-8; 19:11). In fact, there are lots of horses, enough for the vast armies of heaven to ride (Revelation 19:11; 2 Kings 6:17).
Other animals aren’t mentioned in the Revelation passages, presumably because they don’t play a role in Christ’s second coming (an army bringing deliverance rides horses, not Dalmatians or hedgehogs). But isn’t it likely that since there are innumerable horses in heaven there are all kinds of other animals too? Why wouldn’t there be? Why would we expect horses to be the only animals? If there were no other animals, there wouldn’t be horses.
In Isaiah 65:17 God refers to creating a New Heavens and a New Earth. In subsequent verses the text seems to move back and forth from the millennial kingdom to the New Earth. God makes clear he will have animals living there–either in the millennium or the New Earth or both (Isaiah 65:25).
Some also argue for animals being in heaven based on Ecclesiastes 3:19-21, which says “Man’s fate is like that of the animals...all go to the same place.” However, in the larger context of Ecclesiastes Solomon is simply talking about the outward appearance of death. Men and animals both die and we can’t see where they go. Scripture tells us elsewhere, however, that man has an eternal soul. It tells us he goes one of two places at death. Animals are not said to have eternal souls. They are not said to relocate when they die. The presumption would be that at death they cease to exist.
However, this doesn’t mean beloved animals won’t be in heaven. I once read Billy Graham’s response to a little girl’s question, “Will my dog who died this week be in heaven?” Graham replied, “If it would make you any happier, then yes, he will be.” Animals aren’t nearly as valuable as people, but God is their maker and has touched many people’s lives through them. It would be simple for Him to recreate a pet in heaven. I see no reason to believe he wouldn’t if it would bring his children pleasure.
Romans 8:18-22 says that the whole creation was subject to suffering and futility because of human sin. The creation groans in longing for the liberation that will come to humans, and thereby to all creation itself. Creation is under man’s dominion and will share the rewards of his redemption just as it shared the punishment for his sin. Animals are a central part of that creation, next to man himself the most significant part. After all, besides his wife, Adam was called upon to give names only to one other part of the creation–the animals (Genesis 2:19-20). He worked the garden, but he wasn’t invited to name the vegetation. Clearly, the animals had certain qualities that set them above other creation. They were to be special to man, and his naming them makes his connection with them personal.
If the New Earth is all the best of the old earth and more, then we should expect it to contain animals. If animals weren’t part of the New Earth, this would seem an obvious oversight. Eden was ruined through sin and will be restored through Christ’s reign of righteousness. All that was part of Eden, and then made wrong through the sin of the first Adam, we would expect to be part of the New Earth, made right through the virtue of the Second Adam.
Would God take away from us in heaven what he gave, for delight and companionship and help, to Adam and Eve in Eden? Would he revoke his earlier decision to put animals with man, and under man’s care? If he remakes the New Earth with new men (who look very much like the old men, only perfect), wouldn’t we expect him also to make new animals (who will presumably look like the old animals, only perfect)?

How to choose an email for tweens
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 10.21.11
0 Comments
First of all, a confession. I am a shoemaker and my children have no shoes.
I’ve been working in the Internet since 1996, but my daughter, at 11, is clearly the last one in her class to get an email. Opening that Pandora’s Box is something that I push off month to month, day to day, hour to hour. Now, at long last, a teacher is requiring that all six graders have an email. It’s almost Halloween and we have not yet bowed down to the edict.
If you’re scared of email for your kids, there are surprisingly few resources. If you want them to play more games, there are a million walled gardens all willing to take your money. There are lots of filters for internet use, Net Nanny and Apple’s built-in parental controls among them. And, there are plenty of kiddy email sites that allow your infant a happy place to click on lots of letters without messing up the computer too much, and these progress up to age 8, 9, or maybe 10. But if you have waited until your daughter is almost 12 to give her an email, she will cry, as mine did, when you suggest she go to a site called Zilladog to access her email.
So, it’s a sorry state, but we’ll likely get her a Gmail account and monitor it ourselves until she is a bit older. I’m not overjoyed by this, but my baby is growing up.
Still, there are some parental tasks left to do, and first among them is choosing a screen name. There is nothing I could find online on this, except for one thin forum post on choosing a screen name. So here is what I’ve come up with as a guideline for my daughter:
1. No real names. She can use a nickname or some random word, but nothing that identifies her personally.
2. No ID that she’s a girl. So no [email protected]. This doesn’t surprise her at all for some reason and I’m happy I don’t have to explain why I’m being careful.
3. No years, like her birth year or the current year so that she isn’t marked by a certain era. Plus adding 123 after your chosen name is so AOL circa 1999.
Unfortunately, with over 2 billion internet users (Nielsen March 2011) and who knows how many on gmail, almost any combo of words is already taken until you get into phrases that are out of common usage.
Still, the rules are in place and we may have to keep searching a bit together. Otherwise, she can start using her new email : [email protected] as early as tonight.

Paid online access to New York Times – my opinion
Author

As a publisher, I’m happy to see the New York Times take a real lead on paid content. I’ve always thought that the Web wants to be “FREE,” but everyone knows that anything that is always given away free turns into garbage. And that’s the road most print publications are on unless they change their model. The New York Times can’t continue to create leadership journalism as it watches home delivery and newsstand sales dwindle to those few remaining octogenarians who want the inky, bulky broadsheet hanging into their cereal (Full disclosure: I’m one of them). While Google AdSense can make publishers a few dimes and nickels each month, it’s revenue potential is way over-stated and decreasing. There has to be another way.
I love the NYT solution for the following reasons:
1. It provides a benefit and distinction for home subscribers. Part of this reaction is selfish, since I’ve subscribed since I lived in New York fifteen years ago. But it stands to reason that you promote sales by giving benefits to the people who increase your value as an asset. And, advertisers like to see paid subscription since it connotes involvement.
2. It allows people to get a little bit for free. They haven’t yet said how many articles per month you will get for “free” as a non-subscriber, but it’s at least ten, that should give you enough to read your favorite columnists or features every month. Beyond that, as with public radio, you really should be donating something anyway.
3. It keeps the NYT open to Google and Bing searches. I always thought this was the way things should go. Allow the NYT to be searchable via search engines so people can find the best info online and perhaps discover the Times.
4. Most importantly, it still allows bloggers to tell the world about stories they find in the NYT, without resorting to copying articles wholesale. I often make a comment on an article, providing an interesting snipped with a link to the full article. The NYT will still allow this though clicking the link will count towards the monthly quota for unpaid users. This should help the New York Time get more readers while not destroying their model.
This is the system the New Yorker should use as well. It’s fun to send an great article to someone who is not a reader. It’s not good if someone is reading the whole thing on line while everyone else is paying. And face it, a new generation of readers is growing up and they are happy reading a book or magazine on an iPhone rather than a physical magazine.
Hats off to the New York Times.

Top internet searches for kids identified – “Sex” and “Porn” near the top of lists

What were kids most interested in and curious about in 2009? Parents can tell a lot from monitoring internet searches, which may also alert them to possible topics they may need to discuss with their kids. On a more macro level, Norton has identified the top searches conducted by kids in 2009 through data from OnlineFamily.Norton, a free family safety service that parents can use to protect kids online.
Do You Know What Your Kids Are Looking For Online?
Norton looked at the top 100 searches conducted by kids age 18 and under and also broke down results by age and gender. Some of the top terms may surprise parents. “Sex” and “Porn” made it to the top overall search terms for both Teens group and “Sex” for the Tweens group. These terms should raise a red flag to parents if they haven’t had “The Talk” with their children about content that may not be appropriate for kids. Kids’ top three overall search terms in 2009 were YouTube, Google, and Facebook. While these sites can be entertaining and educational for kids under supervision, parents need to monitor usage and talk to kids about appropriate and inappropriate things they may find on-line.
Teens’ Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Facebook 3. Google 4. Sex
5. MySpace 6. Porn 7. Yahoo 8. Youtube.com 9. eBay
10. Wikipedia
Tweens’ Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Google 3. Facebook 4. Sex
5. Club Penguin 6. Youtube.com 7. You Tube 8. Miniclip
9. Yahoo 10. eBay
7 & Under Top 25
1. YouTube 2. Google 3. Facebook 4. Porn
5. Club Penguin 6. Yahoo 7. Webkinz 8. You Tube
9. Games 10. Miniclip
We use Safari installed on a Mac in our family room that the kids use periodically to play games. When they are logged into their account, Safari only allows them to surf to sites we’ve approved. We don’t allow them to look at YouTube and other sites without us being there to control the buttons. Our kids are still only 5 and 9 so that is bound to change soon.
Norton offers the basic OnlineFamily.Norton at no charge, but plans to launch a premium subscription version later in 2010.

Why parenting magazines ignore us dads
Author
Paul Banas Submitted: 10.21.09

It’s true most parenting magazines have mom-free names and try to insert a page or two “just for dad,” but the reason the overwhelming amount of content is geared toward the female persuasion has a lot less to do with the editors than it does the people who are paying to get the magazine out the door: the advertisers.
Sorry Dad – but they don’t care if you want five friendly recipes for adding veggies to your kid’s diet. They want to sell your wife/girlfriend a package of organic waffles with broccoli ground up inside. Because the studies show she’s the one more likely to buy them. Women are widely touted as the controllers of the family purse strings – even in families where there are shared checking accounts. The common number you hear? About eighty percent of family spending is done by the female head of household.
From Why Parenting Mags Ignore Dad | Strollerderby]
Bad news for those of us trying at least to cover the cost of the Pampers by writing about our dad experiences. Until we become a real economic force, dads are an add-on. But why is that when dads are involved, or usually lead, the very big ticket items, like the choice of the mini van or the new long-term life insurance plan.
As I mentioned a few posts back, this year at the ABC Kids show in Vegas, “dad” was integrated into all the marketing materials. Maybe dad isn’t doing the weekly shopping but he is weighing in heavily on which stroller he is willing to push down the street, or which car seat he’s going to move in and out of the car. Dads do think differently than moms, and the sexes will likely continue to have their own sweet spots and obsessions, but count on more and more dads to be making the choice of the family toothpaste and even the diapers as we take a more active role in “home” and even stay there to be with the kids.

Finally someone has come up with the ultimate service for new parents who have no time, no clue, but lots of coin. Gifted At Birth (giftedatbirth.com) sends you everything you need to take care of baby every week, for three months after the baby is born.
They’ll even help you choose the right items for your lifestyle (green, idiot-proof….). All this for the low low starter price of only $124. If you live in Manhattan, a postpartum doula wiil come to you to explain how everything works, including the baby. Outside the diamond-studded boundaries of NYC, however, it will be a burly UPS

Wirral to Llandudno Run
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:00
The 2012 Wirral to Llandudno Run on Sunday 15 January started off cold and frosty but, fortunately, stayed dry all day, with clear blue skies greeting the Minis on arrival at Llandudno. A fantastic turnout of 117 cars braved the cold, coming from as far away as Cornwall and Bristol. The Minis attracted a large crowd on Llandudno Prom and were enjoyed by all ages. Well done to Wirral Minis for another great event. See www.wirralminis.com.

BRSCC Mighty Minis Championship
Tuesday, 21 February 2012 00:00
Thomas Moseley is 20 years old and a Mini enthusiast from Yorkshire. Currently at college, and working part time at Halfords, he spends all his spare time and money on his Mini racing car. Thomas will be competing in this year’s BRSCC Mighty Minis championship.He has Minis in his blood, as his great grandfather owned a very special Mini. In 1965 the millionth Mini came off of the production line at Longbridge. A draw took place where it was won by a BMC employee. However, the very next Mini made was won by BMC customer, Alfred Benton, Thomas’ great grandfather. You can see this Mini at www.britishpathe.com/video/millionth-mini. Keep up with Thomas’ progress at www.thomasmoseleymightyminis.blogspot.com or check out his sponsor’s website at www.blog.minisport.com.

Book Alert / The Infernal Machine -- A History of Terrorism
The Infernal Machine -- A History of Terrorism from the Assassination of Tsar Alexander II to Al-Qaeda, The New Press '07, $26.95, 410 pages, ISBN #978-1-59558-179-2. Index, selected bibliography, notes, unillustrated.
Conventional wisdom has it that international terrorism is biggest enemy of peace today. But when attempting to define terrorism, forget the stereotype of a masked bomber. In Lebanon, for instance, Hezbollah is a recognized political party whose members have been elected to the Lebanese Parliament in a free and open election, yet such world powers as the United States and Britain label it as a terrorist organization.
Carr, a British journalist and broadcaster, ranges back in time to the 1880s to profile the history of terrorism. Included in this narrative sweep are the attack by Russian revolutionaries upon Tsar Alexander II in St. Petersburg, the African vengeance of the Mau Maus, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Basque separatists and Ireland's IRA.
Rather than merely hanging labels around the necks of one's political enemies, Carr believes it's more useful to examine the root causes of terrorism. "The present eruption of Islamist violence is perhaps a symptom of an imbalance of power," he says, "and the consequence of decades of manipulation, deceit and hypocrisy in Western foreign policy towards the Arab world." This is a work unlikely to show up on George W. Bush's reading list.

READER QUESTION
I want to refinance our first mortgage, but the second mortgage holder won't subordinate. What can we do?
Read full question
We found a company that will refinance our first, but the second lien holder will not subordinate without a full appraisal. We have already paid them $150 and they won't return it even though they didn't do the subordination. What department within the second mortgage company would we write to request a loan rate reduction? If they refuse to reduce the interest rate, what other recourse would we have? Can we offer a settlement of 10 cents on the dollar? I noticed several other people in your comments have been able to do this. We live in Colorado.

BILL'S ANSWER
As part of its efforts to stimulate the US economy, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates to record low levels in 2008 and 2009, which in part has allowed banks to offer some attractive rates to homeowners wishing to take out a new mortgage or refinance an existing loan.
Refinancing when the loan balances exceed the property value
Although many current homeowners would like to refinance their home loans to take advantage of the low interest rates, the downturn in property values has resulted in many owing second mortgages or home equity loans that push their total current financing perilously close to, if not over, the actual values of their homes. In this situation, a refinance lender is unlikely to loan the homeowner enough money to combine the first and second mortgages into a single obligation, as the lender does not want to extend a loan that exceeds the value of the property securing debt.
The refi lender may be willing to refinance the first mortgage, but only if the lender holding the second mortgage or home equity loan is willing to give the refi lender's encumbrance on the property seniority over the second mortgage.
Allow me to travel on a momentary tangent regarding legal terminology. In Colorado, California, Texas and 18 other states the "mortgage" is actually a "deed of trust." Legally, the two are different, but a comparison of the two exceeds the scope of this discussion. Although it is inaccurate technically to call a Colorado home loan a mortgage, we will continue to refer to the first and second loan on the property here a mortgage because that is expected and understood by our non-property lawyer readers.
Subordination
Getting back to the subordination issue, without such an agreement, the second mortgage, as the older debt, would become the senior encumbrance on the property once the refi lender pays off the first mortgage as part of the refinance.
Unfortunately, unless you have a significant equity cushion, the bank holding your second mortgage loan is likely to refuse to agree to subordinate its encumbrance, especially if you are planning to "cash out" any of your equity by borrowing more from the refi lender than you currently owe on the first mortgage.
The secondary lender's position is already relatively weak in terms of its ability to enforce its security interest in the home, since it would be required to either pay off or otherwise receive the first mortgage lender's consent to proceed with foreclosure. Given its already tenuous ability to force repayment, the secondary lender is unlikely to agree to subordination to a "cash out" refi loan, which would eat up the small amount of equity to which it may be able to lay claim in case of default.
On the other hand, if you can show the second mortgage holder that the refi loan will actually reduce the risk of default on your home loans by reducing your total mortgage payments each month, you may find the secondary lender more willing to cooperate with you and the bank providing the refinance loan.
Consult with the agent handling your potential refinance loan, as well as any other mortgage professionals you know, to discuss the best way to present your plan to the second mortgage lender. The key is making the lender believe that the refinance loan and required subordination will ultimately serve its interests.
Appraisal by second mortgage company
In your question, you state that your second mortgage company has requested a full appraisal of your property before it will consider agreeing to subjugate its encumbrance to that of the company through which you are trying to refinance your first mortgage.
First, you should understand that demanding a complete appraisal of the home's value is not unusual. The second mortgage company wants to determine how much equity you currently have in the property (the more equity, the more likely junior encumbrances will be paid in case of foreclosure), and how the proposed refinance loan will affect this equity cushion. It will also want to determine if you are "upside-down" on the property (you owe more that the home is worth), as being in this position significantly increases the possibility that you will default on one or all of your mortgage obligations.
Here, it sounds like the lender has refused to subordinate, and refused to refund the appraisal fee paid. Unfortunately, I do not think that you have much recourse in this regard, as appraisal fees are usually non-refundable.
However, if you think that you were mislead by the lender, you may want to contact the Colorado Dept. of Real Estate and the Colorado Attorney General's Office to file complaints against the lender. While these agencies cannot guarantee you a favorable outcome, they are often successful in mediating disputes between consumers and businesses.
Loan modification
You are correct in pointing out that a Bills.com reader reported that a second mortgage holder made a lump-sum settlement with a homeowner for 10 cents on the dollar. Keep in mind that there are dozens of companies making second mortgage loans, and hundreds of thousands of second mortgages under contract. Your lender may not offer such attractive settlement terms.
As for what department at the second mortgage company you need to contact to discuss the possible modification of your loan terms (payment amount, interest rate, loan term, etc.), you should probably start by contacting the general customer service department. They may help you directly, but a good CS agent should be able to point you to the correct department (probably named something like "loss mitigation," though this will depend on your specific lender).
To read more about refinance loans, I invite you to visit the Bills.com home refinance page. I wish you the best of luck in your efforts to refinance your current mortgage loans, and hope that the information I have provided helps you Find. Learn. Save.
Best,
Bill

I have run into the situation whereby my Home Equity Lender will not re-subordinate and accomodate my refinance.
In this case my refinance will be a lower loan amount, a lower monthly payment and will convert an interest only loan to an amortizing loan.
I have also expressed the ability to slightly reduce my Home Equity Line.
The appraised value of the combined loans will be 80% and the original home equity loan was made at 86%.
Have you heard of anything so absurd?
Do you know of anyone attorney's taking on law suits in this instance.
Obvious damages would be lost equity of the term and the lossed opportunity to reduce monthly payments.

from Greek “en-Theos” –God within 1) filled with inspiration [-adj.] 2) The blog for Candler School of Theology [-n.]

2008
Here we go!
From Brad Schweers:
Candler School of Theology has just wrapped up New Student Orientation week for our 174 incoming Master of Divinity (MDiv), Master of Theolgical Studies (MTS), Master of Theology (ThM), and Doctor of Theology (ThD) students. We are completely moved into our new home at 1531 Dickey Drive. The Theology and Ethics building is a five-story, LEED-certified green building with fantastic natural light, spacious offices and classrooms, and all of the latest technology. The Theology building is over twice the size of the old Bishops Hall, and yet uses less electrical power! Woohoo!!!
Here are some highlights of the week:
MondayStudents checked in for pre-orientation, taking care of IDs and parking passes, configuring laptops, and tidying up financial aid matters. Some thoughts and themes heard as people anticipate starting seminary include: excited, anxious and excited, wondering how classes are going to be after being out of school for ten years, nervous, happy to be in Atlanta, looking forward to classes starting, and not feeling
ready for the summer to be over.
TuesdayThM and MTS students spent Tuesday around campus, meeting with Dr. Steve Kraftchick and their advisors, touring the Candler and Emory campuses and libraries, and finished up with night swimming and dinner at Drs. Medi Volpe and Lewis Ayres‘ house. No doubt St. Augustine was on the menu.
WednesdayMDiv students were on campus for orientation. Chapel service was led by Rev. Dr. Joel LeMon, Asstistant Professor of Old Testament. The Scripture text was from Psalm 119–a 176-verse acrostic poem and the longest chapter in the Bible–and Dr. Lemon had the entire chapel chanting the Hebrew alphabet from Aleph to Tav while exploring the He verses (33-40) which emphasize God’s movement in our lives. (A side note: I sat in the west balcony of Cannon Chapel, where I have sat many times before, but for the first time noticed the similarities between Paul Rudolph‘s square design (see right, view from the west balcony) and the design of the Frank Lloyd Wright‘s Unity Temple (below, view from east balcony) in Oak Park, IL. Both have wonderful natural light filling the worship spaces from above, seating in-the-round, long vertical elements, and a great square pillar of space in the center. Wright’s Temple is more symetrical, orderly, and rectilinear while Rudolph’s Chapel is flowing, raw, and spiraling–both are great and unique spaces.
ThursdayMDiv students heard about the new curriculum from Dr. Gail O’Day and other faculty members. Worship was led by Rev. Dr. Teresa Fry Brown. Her sermon was about newness–the theme for Candler these days!!–and new Candler Assistant Professor of Theology and Culture Andrea White lent her musical talents on the violin. Students met their advisors and visited their Contextual Education I sites.
FridayBooks are being bought in the bookstore and online, classes are being added and dropped, and, most importantly, new student get-togther parties have been planned on Facebook for the Labor Day weekend

In Vitro and In Vivo Inhibition of Human Fanconi Anemia Head and Neck Squamous Carcinoma by a Novel Nutrient Mixture
M.W. Roomi, N.W. Roomi, M. Rath and A. NiedzwieckiDr. Rath Research Institute, Cancer Division, Santa Clara, CA 95050
Presented at: 23rd Annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium, Barcelona, Spain, October 20-23, 2011.
Published in: Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium, page 139.
Abstract
Objective: Fanconi Anemia (FA), an autosomal recessive disease associated with chromosomal instability, is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, birth defects and high propensity to develop malignancies. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and acute myeloid leukemia are the major causes of mortality and morbidity in FA patients. The objective of this study was to investigate the antineoplastic activity of NM, a novel antineoplastic nutrient mixture (containing lysine, proline, ascorbic acid and green tea extract) that demonstrates a broad spectrum of antitumor activity against a number of human cancer cell lines, on human FAHNSCC in vitro and in vivo.
Methods and Materials: Human FAHNSCC cell line OHSU-974 (Fanconi Anemia Research Fund, Oregon Health & Science University, Portland, Oregon, USA) was cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 20% FBS and antibiotics. At near confluence, cells were treated in triplicate with different concentrations of NM: 0, 50, 100, 250, 500 and 1000 µg/ml. Cells were also treated with PMA to induce MMP-9 activity. Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay, secretion of MMPs by gelatinase zymography, invasion through Matrigel and morphology by H&E staining. In vivo, athymic male nude mice (n=12) were inoculated with 3x106 OHSU-974 cells subcutaneously and randomly divided into two groups: group A was fed a regular diet and group B a regular diet supplemented with 1% NM. Four weeks later, the mice were sacrificed and their tumors were excised, weighed and processed for histology.
Results: NM inhibited the growth of OHSU-974 tumor by 48% and tumor burden by 50%. At lower concentrations, NM demonstrated no effect on proliferation, but at 1000 µg/ml showed 40% toxicity. Zymography revealed MMP-2 and PMA-induced MMP-9 secretion. NM suppressed secretion of both MMPs in a dose-dependent manner, with virtual inhibition at 500 µg/ml. NM inhibited OHSU-974 invasion through Matrigel in a dose-dependent fashion with total block at 1000 µg/ml. H&E staining showed no morphological changes below 500 µg/ml.
Conclusions:The results suggest that NM has potential therapeutic use in the treatment of human FA HNSCC.
Comment
Current treatment methods for Fanconi Anemia-associated cancers are generally ineffective. Thus, there is a need for development of effective therapeutic agents for these cancers with minimal toxicity. Our studies demonstrated that NM significantly inhibited the growth and tumor burden of FA HNSCC cell line OHSU-974 in vivo. In addition, invasive parameters, such as OHSU-974 cell line MMP-2 and -9 secretion and invasion were significantly inhibited by NM in vitro. These findings suggest potential of NM

After a National Championship game for the ages, and a Final Four utterly
dominated by Kansas & Memphis, it is no shock that CHN’s All-Final Four team is
all Jayhawks and Tigers.
MOP: Mario Chalmers, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 14.5ppg, 3.5rpg, 3.0apg, 3.5spg
Chalmers truly was Super Mario in the championship game versus Memphis. By now
the whole world has heard and seen his last second three-pointer to tie the game
in regulation, but he excelled in other aspects of the game also. Always a
tough defender, he was a thorn in Memphis’ side as they tried to run their
offense and picked off four balls. Plus Memphis’ ultimate Achilles Heal was
Chalmers strong suit this game – he was 6-6 from the charity stripe.
MOP Runner Up: Darrell Arthur, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 13.0ppg, 9.5rpg, 2.0bpg
Arthur quietly had an excellent championship game also. He was his usual
exceptional self down low, providing scoring and rebounding (including five on
the offensive end), and also knocked down some face up jumpers. Plus he didn’t
miss a free throw (2-2).
All Final Four Team:
Guard: Mario Chalmers, Kansas
Guard: Brandon Rush, Kansas
Final Four Averages: 18.5ppg, 6.5rpg, 16/26 FG
Rush scorched UNC to get the Jayhawks into the final. Against Memphis he had a
very solid 12 points and six boards. NBA, here he comes (finally).
Guard: Derrick Rose, Memphis
Final Four Averages: 21.5ppg, 7.5rpg, 6.0apg
Rose’s explosive NCAA tournament performance has shown why he, and not Michael Beasley, is the top prospect of this year’s NBA draft.
Guard: Chris Douglas-Roberts, Memphis
Final Four Averages: 25.0ppg, 2.5rpg, 15/20 FT
His inability to hit clutch free throws kept Memphis from winning its first
men’s hoops national championship and also kept Douglas-Roberts from being CHN’s
Final Four MOP. Pretty sure the first one hurts more than the second.
Forward: Darrell Arthur, Kansas
