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".

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

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

Carl Sagan
Volume 17.1, Fall 1992
Isaac Asimov was one of the great explainers of the age. Like TH Huxley, he was motivated by profoundly democratic impulses to communicate science to the public. “Science is too important,” he said, paraphrasing Clemenceau, “to be left to the scientists.” It will never be known how many practicing scientists today, in how many countries, owe their initial inspiration to a book, article, or short story by Isaac Asimov—nor how many ordinary citizens are sympathetic to the scientific enterprise from the same cause. For example, Marvin Minsky of MIT, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, was brought to his subject by Asimov's robot stories (initially conceived to illustrate human/robot partnerships and to counter the prevailing notion, going back to Frankenstein, of robots as necessarily malign). At a time when science fiction was mainly devoted to action and adventure, Asimov introduced puzzle-solving schemes that taught science and thinking along the way.
A number of his phrases and ideas have insinuated themselves into the culture of science—for example, his spare description of the solar system as “four planets plus debris” and his notion of one day carrying icebergs from the rings of Saturn to the arid wastelands of Mars. He wrote many science books for young people, and as editor of his own science-fiction magazine he made efforts to encourage young writers.
His output was prodigious, approaching 500 volumes, always in his characteristic straightforward, plain-speaking syntax. Part of the reason his Foundation series on the decline of a galactic empire worked so well is that it was based on a close reading of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire: A principal theme was the effort to keep science alive as the Dark Ages rolled in.
Asimov spoke out in favor of science and reason and against pseudoscience and superstition. He was not afraid to criticize the US government and was deeply committed to stabilizing world population growth.
The microscopic probe he described in his novel Fantastic Voyage—which could enter the human bloodstream and repair tissue damage—was, sadly, not yet available at the time of his death. As someone born in grinding poverty, and with a lifelong passion to write and explain, Asimov by his own standards led a successful and happy life. In one of his last books he wrote: “My life has just about run its course and I don't really expect to live much longer.” However, he went on, his love for his wife, the psychiatrist Janet Jeppson, and hers for him, sustained him. “It's been a good life, and I am satisfied with it. So please don't worry about me.”
I don't. Instead, I worry about the rest of us, with no Isaac Asimov around to inspire the young to learning and to science.
Carl Sagan
Carl Sagan was a science popularizer, co-creator and host of Cosmos, and author or co-author of many books including The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark.

Michigan Boating Industries Association President Van Snider Retires
Published Friday, December 10, 2010 7:00 amby Michigan Boating Industries AssociationLivonia, Mich.,- Van W. Snider, Jr., CAE, retired November 30, 2010 from his Chief Staff Executive position with the Michigan Boating Industries Association (MBIA) with more than 20 years as the Association's President.
Snider joined MBIA in August, 1990 after serving approximately eight years as the Executive Director of the Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF).
Prior to his 28 years of management of two major marine trade associations, Snider managed a boat dealership and marina in Ohio prior to moving to Florida.
Before assuming management of MIASF, he sold yachts as a yacht broker, managing a boat dealership as well as a marina.
After receiving his BBA degree from Ohio University in 1968, Snider was commissioned in the US Army and served as an Armor Officer on Okinawa, Japan.
While in Florida, Snider received his M.B.A. degree from Novi Southeastern University, Ft. Lauderdale-Davie, Florida and was certified as a Certified Association Executive (CAE) from the American Society of Association Executives which he has maintained.
During his tenure at MBIA, the association expanded member benefits and increased the number of boat shows produced by the statewide association from one show to three which include the Detroit Boat Show, Spring Boating Expo in Novi, Mich., and the Boating & Outdoor Festival in Harrison Township, Mich.
Snider has been recognized for his leadership and accomplishments from several organizations.
He is an Honorary Alumni of Michigan State University; received the Michigan Society of Association's (MSAE) Strategic Leader Award and recently was inducted into the MSAE Hall of Fame, and was also inducted into the MBIA Hall of Fame on December 2, at theRecreational Boating Educational Conference in Midland, Mich. In addition, Michigan Sea Grant created an award given to him to recognize his collaborative efforts with Sea Grant which now is called the "Van Snider Award."
Snider plans to stay in Michigan

Words From the Fire: Hearing the Voice of God in the 10 Commandments
If God has spoken, then the highest human aspiration must be to hear what the Creator has said. God has indeed spoken, through the Ten Commandments, and Al Mohler explores this revelation of God and the implications for His people. The promise is to hear, to obey, and to live. These “Ten Words” tell us who God is and what His people should look like.
Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., serves as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary — the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention and one of the largest seminaries in the world. Read more

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy. His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act DOMA and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the US Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court

MTU-VP - Cerro Negro GVN
Smithsonian Institution
Bulletin of the Global Volcanism Network, v. 20, no. 11/12, November-December 1995
Cerro Negro (Nicaragua)
Vigorous eruption produces a new cone,
dome, lava flows, and large ash plumes
Cerro Negro
Nicaragua
12.51 N, 86.70 W; summit elev. 675 m
All times are local (=3D GMT - 6 hours)
A significant eruption in November-December followed almost six
months of unrest and minor eruptive activity (Bulletin v. 20, nos.
5 & 9). During a crater visit on 13 November no precursors were
observed, and on 18 November only background seismicity was
recorded by the CNGN station (500 m E of the crater).
Early phase of activity, 19-22 November. Local residents first
noticed explosions about the time of the onset of 30 minutes of
mildly increasing seismicity detected by the CNGN station at 1145
on 19 November. Following a pause, seismicity continued to gain
strength. Increasing activity was reported that afternoon by
residents in Malpaisillo (~10 km N). Observations on the night of
19-20 November indicated mild Strombolian activity, with vertically
directed ejecta, that was gradually increasing in strength. A
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) was issued the next day warning aviators
of the volcanic activity.
Eruption tremor amplitude increased continuously and saturated the
CNGN station (60 dB gain) at 0200 on the 21st. Tremor was detected
on short-period seismic stations within a 30 km radius (at San
Cristobal and Momotombo volcanoes, and near the city of Leon).
Energy release increased continuously and tremor could be felt over
1 km away, when sitting down, as a smooth rocking motion.
At 2000 on 21 November incandescent bombs were being thrown up to
300-400 m above the 1992 crater rim. Ash content was low compared
with the 1992 and May-August 1995 activity, and bombs were often
very large (meters across), which deformed and broke up in flight.
Because of near-vertical trajectories, few bombs fell outside the
crater. The new cone being built within the 1992 crater (figure 1)
had a steep (>45 degrees) basal scarp, 2-5 m high, followed by a
level bench and then a less steep slope (25 degrees) to its crater.
Ejecta pulses maintained a frequency of 20/minute, but the size and
duration of each pulse varied. From 0255 to 0310 on 22 November
ejecta heights were <150 m but ash content and degassing were much
higher, emitting dark clouds with each explosion. A thick, white
lower plume appeared to be escaping from a new lava dome in the
1992 crater, 50 m W of the new cone (figure 1). By 0500 the
eruption had regained previous intensity levels and exhibited
near-constant fire-fountain-like activity, bombs were larger, and
pulse frequency increased to 22/minute. The eruption continued at
this level for over 4 hours.
The new cone had almost reached the lip of the 1992 crater by 0700
on 22 November. At that time the lava dome emitted a small lava
flow, 2-5 m wide and 50 m long, that followed the edge of the new
cone towards the lowest part of the 1992 crater (figure 2). From
0930 to 1000 a series of explosions ejected material to the lower
slopes of the new cone. Sand to gravel size ash fell W of the cone,
but no large ejecta. Compared to the 1992 ejecta this material is
highly vesicular with millimeter-size vesicles; olivine, pyroxene,
and plagioclase are present, and some plagioclase crystals are 1 cm
long. That evening the new cone overgrew the N rim of the 1992
crater and material began spilling towards Cerro La Mula. From 1900
to 2300 a tongue of lava spilled over the N rim of the 1992 crater.
The front moved at <1 m/hour, but blocks constantly tumbled from
the front down to the base of the main cone.
Lava flows beyond the crater, 23 November. After 1400 on 23
November dark gray pulses observed from 25 km away formed a plume
that rose faster and higher than on previous days, attaining
several kilometers altitude. Observations were made from the
seismic station after 1500. During about 1515-1525 the plume became
less ash-rich, ejecta became less frequent, and strong degassing
pulses were heard. When regular pulses resumed, some bombs were
ejected laterally onto the flanks of the main cone. Periodic heavy
falls of 1-3 cm scoria were encountered by the scientists walking
under the plume 1.5 km from the cone. Red glow was visible at 1730
over Cerro La Mula, and there was a smell of burning vegetation,
suggesting an active lava flow. The lava tongue was observed at
1800 between Cerro La Mula and Cerro Negro (figure 2). Later named
the La Mula flow, it was ~20 m wide and 5 m thick, and advancing at
~2 m/hour.
At 1830 a 20-m-wide lava stream moved down the N flank through a
small breach at a rate of ~150 m/minute from the crater rim to the
base of the cone. A lava field spreading out from the base of the
cone had reached ~1 km from the crater by 2000, advancing 10-30
m/hour along two 300-m-wide fronts (figure 2). To the E of the flow
the volcano flank appeared to be bulging and was irregular with
large blocks jutting out that occasionally fell downslope,
revealing incandescent lava. It appeared to the scientists that a
slow-moving 20-m-thick blocky lava flow was moving to the crater
rim and collapsing down the flank; however, the shape of the flank
also suggested outward bulging. The blocky lava extended at least
200 m NE from the base of the cone.
Continuous and voluminous pulses at 2000 created a fountain that
sent bombs at least 600 m above the crater. Ash clouds accompanied
each pulse and occasional flames of burning gas reached 100-200 m
above the crater. This activity had decreased by 2045, and by 2115
pulses of bombs appeared only every 30 seconds, although continual
noise suggested smaller pulses.
Of the four GPS stations set up in the vicinity of the cone, by 23
November one had been destroyed by lava and another was too
dangerous to approach. Measurements at the remaining stations were
within the error of the equipment (2 cm at best). However, two
fresh fault scarps radial to the cone were observed on the W side
with 5 cm of displacement. Tremor energy increased continuously
until 1200 on 23 November, after which it maintained a constant
level.
Continuing activity, 25-26 November. The eruption plume was again
clearly visible on 25 November from Managua as a diffuse gray
column turning horizontal at ~2,000 m. At 0900 distinct pulses of
dark gray ash rose from the crater and formed mushroom shapes
before drifting W and being incorporated into the plume; ashfall
was reported in Leon and Corinto. At times only massive bombs were
thrown out, while at others strong explosions sent up dense ash
clouds. Ash and highly vesicular scoria <5 cm in size fell
continuously on the W base of the cone. Pulses of ash and bombs had
a frequency of 20/minute, a characteristic periodicity in this
eruption. Pulses were strong enough to maintain a constant fountain
of bombs as high as 600 m, some of which were large and visibly red
5 km away; explosions were audible at this distance.
At 1100 on 25 November most bombs were still ejected vertically,
but a significant number were exiting at low angles and falling low
on the flanks. The new cone had grown to ~40 m across, and its top
was ~30-50 m below the 1992 crater summit. Bombs fell mostly on the
cone and rolled down to the base. The small breach where the 23
November lava flow exited was partly covered by a new blocky flow,
which appeared to come straight N from the new cone, though no exit
vent was visible. It may have been produced by accumulated, still
liquid ejecta beginning to flow outwards, as seen on 22 November.
The flow had advanced half way down the flank, covering another
blocky flow. The dome in the crater had grown to ~100 m wide and 40
m high. Blocks were continually spalling off the dome, which also
sustained a continuous rain of bombs from the new cone. Multiple
small lava tongues originated from the dome. The crater dome was
less pronounced on 26 November, and was blocky rather than spiny.
The new cone had grown ~10 m overnight.
The two flows moving N on the 23rd had reached ~1-1.5 km from the
volcano. The larger W lobe was ~400 m wide and 3-5 m thick at the
front with a small lobe extending down the gully below Cerro La
Mula, and another extending E into a depression in the old N lava
field. The E lobe had extended into forest at the E side of the old
N lava field. Over a three-hour period the flows advanced ~12 m. A
low ash-covered area with a small old cinder cone separated the
lobes. The sides of each flow were slowly (~1 m/hour) encroaching
on this and thickening. The thick lava lobes below the dome were
advancing, and many areas of the dome were glowing. The ~30-m-wide
La Mula lava flow had advanced W ~500 m down a small valley and was
moving at ~1 m/hour on 25 November; by 0600 on the 26th it had
stopped. By 0645 the other lava fronts had advanced 20-50 m since
the previous evening. The main W lobe had spread E and a large
block in the middle of the flow had moved ~100 m.
Seismic tremor levels remained high through 26 November. Tremor was
continuous and distinctly felt up to 1.5 km from the cone.
Satellite observations of the ash plume. Visible satellite imagery
on 25 November indicated a possible low-level ash cloud at 1245
(figure 3). The height of the plume was estimated at 4,500 m
altitude and was moving SW at ~30 km/hour. Another small low-level
plume was seen on imagery at 0815 the next day at an estimated
2,750 m altitude and moving WSW at ~35 km/hour. Explosive activity
increased on 1 December, when visible imagery at 1230 revealed a
plume 18 km wide extending ~320 km W; it was estimated to be
between 3,000 and 6,000 m altitude. By 0900 on 2 December, the
plume extended at least 640 km W and was below 4,000 m.
End of the eruption, early December. Explosive and effusive
activity ended on 6 December. However, a lava flow was still moving
N on 8 December. Isopach maps of the ashfall through 2 December
(figure 4) were constructed by Markus Kesseler based on 85 GPS
control points (precision +- 30 m). The 0.1 cm isopach encloses an
area of ~200 km^2. An estimated 12,000 people were affected by this
eruption, about 6,000 of whom had been evacuated from 15 rural
communities. Farmland was significantly damaged by ashfall and lava
flows during the harvesting season; most of those affected were
farmers and their families.

John Entwistle - So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology CD review
Entwistle anthology misses the point
John Entwistle - So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology
(Sanctuary Records)
2 1/2 stars (out of 5 stars)
Reviewed: May 6, 2005
Review by Paul Provenzano
Webster defines an anthology as "any collection of selected works." For John Entwistle's So Who's the Bass Player; The Ox Anthology,
I guess my problem is with who's doing the selecting.
This two-disc compilation of the late Who bass player Entwistle's solo career is chronologically arranged, starting with the heavy first album, Smash Your Head Against the Wall. It finishes with some live performances and, of all things, music from a failed cartoon series "Van-pires." While many of the studio songs from the first three or four albums are what Entwistle was all about, many of the later offerings are the bass player's best Who songs, but unfortunately not with The Who performing them.
Entwistle often complained in the '70s that The Who weren't rocking hard enough in their studio work. Ironically except for a couple of songs on Smash You Head ..., and his second album Whistle Rymes, most of his solo work was much tamer musically than Pete Townshend was delivering. Compare "Heaven and Hell" from the anthology to The Who's version on the B-side of the "Summertime Blues' single. Puzzling was also the absence of memorable bass lines in any studio work. You have to go to the live versions on Who songs in the anthology to find any examples of Entwistle's virtuosity as a bass player. In my opinion, he is one of the finest four-string (OK fans, also eight-string) thumpers ever to strap on a Thunderbird. Yet his solo work is dominated primarily by keyboards. Being an accomplished French Horn player, though, did promote the use of brass throughout the early albums. A great example is "I Wonder," with Entwistle (and his carpenter on trombone!) blasting through kicking horn lines.
The anthology's first CD takes us through the four initial albums, with a couple live tracks from 1975. This where you can hear the dark humor that was Entwistle's song writing niche. His black humor comes through on songs like "Made in Japan," with lines such as, " I didn't buy the car so I decided to get married instead."
The great " I Wonder," pondering childlike with "I wonder what would happen if my fish could fly, would he leap from the tank and hit the cat in the eye?" but finishing Entwistle style, "Out through the window into the sky, I'm so glad sharks can't fly."
Entwistle's dark wit can be found in most of his early solo works, e.g. "Pick Me Up (Big Chicken)" a song about being barely conscious drunk, "Who Cares" extolling the virtues of being a slacker, or "Thinking It Over" about a suicidal husband deciding if unfaithfulness is worth killing oneself over, while worrying about wasting the police's time. You need to listen closely to Entwistle's songs. And then we have "Peg Leg Peggy," an appendage challenged girlfriend described "when it comes to dancing she's the queen, she sounds just like a sewing machine." The Ox was never politically correct, unless there was a funny song in being so.
The second disc is where I have the most problems with the anthology. While I may have chosen a couple different songs from the first four albums (big error leaving "Big Black Cadillac" out), the bulk of the second CD are either live performances or obscure material. What was the reasoning behind including four songs from a 1975 sci-fi album called Flash Fearless Vs. the Zorg Women Parts 5 & 6? Three of the songs only contain Entwistle on bass, and the other "To the Chop" on which he does sing. Entwistle did not write any of that material. I would have preferred his "Gimme That Rock 'n' Roll" from Rigor Mortis
instead. The three best songs from his last real studio solo release Too Late the Hero are represented, the best being "Talk Dirty To Me". Following that are a couple songs from an attempted project called The Rock. This is around the time Entwistle stopped singing his songs. It became very noticeable in the eighties his distinctive nasal tone was failing him. While "Love Doesn't Last" isn't a bad song, it would have been much better with John performing the vocals. Henry Small, who does sing the two songs from The Rock, is a bit too much over the top for my tastes. After The Rock
songs, we get four live Who songs performed in 1988 by The John Entwistle Band. Here is where you get to hear some of the Ox's best bass fingering.
"Thunderfingers" as some called him, shines on Townshend's "The Real Me". Concluding the anthology is set of songs recorded at various times over an almost twenty year period starting in 1978. They were released for an American TV cartoon series called Van-pires. While the songs are OK, they are really nothing more than a curiosity.
This brings us to the question, to what purpose does this anthology serve? If you want a best of, this isn't it. A good portion of these songs are just here to represent certain times in the timeline. Is it a sampler? The best songs are off of the first three albums, of which 52% of those albums are represented. You would be better off just buying those three. If you're a die hard Entwistle fan, you've already got this stuff, probably in vinyl and CD

Television liberalisation makes further inroads into francophone Africa
Issue no 36 21 August 2008
Two recent developments in francophone Africa have set the stage for wider broadcast liberalisation. Firstly, the Ivorian Minister of Communication has received a study recommending opening up the market. Secondly, Africa’s newest Pay TV contender GTV fired its opening shots in the battle to win a significant chunk of subscribers in francophone markets. Russell Southwood looks at what’s happening.
Cote d'Ivoire liberalised the press in 1990 but up until now there have only been two “Free-To-Air” public television channels: La Première et TV2. This is all set change with the delivery of report by French consulting company Media Consulting Group (MCG) to the Minister of Communications, Ibrahim Sy Savané.
The report recommends a “prudent” opening up of the sector “to permit the achievement of the growth of the televisual offer, and to reinforce public debate by creating new spaces for citizenship, and to create the conditions for a national industry of programme-making.”
The report envisages liberalisation happening in stages:”step-by-step liberalisation with the first step being the creation of two private, Free-To-Air channels, whose coverage area would be restricted to (the capital) Abidjan and its immediate environs before later being extended nationally.” This would mean that four TV channels would be relying on the local advertising market for financing. Cote d'Ivoire was once one of the lion economies of West Africa but the impact of the recent civil has cut back economic growth. However, if the current peace holds, then the rather tentative liberalisation suggested may turn out to be quite conservative.
The report lays out the requirements of a liberalised market in policy and regulatory terms, including the necessity to strengthen both regulation and self-regulation in the industry. The creation of the two new channels should be open to tender (un cahier des charges) which defined the future obligations of these new operators in terms of news and the inclusion of both Ivorian and African programmes. The report’s authors were keen to emphasise the need to safeguard Ivorian national identity. But according to the report:”Cote d'Ivoire, as many other African countries, already has a lively global competition in terms of cable television.”
The MCG study was financed by the European Union and is aimed at provided the Government with a tool for decision-making. It remains to be seen whether Minister Ibrahim Sy Savané will accept the report’s recommendations. With the country’s current political difficulties, all media policy choices – particularly over new media entrants – will be exceptionally political.
Meanwhile Pay TV channel GTV announced its intention earlier this month to expand its operations into francophone Africa.The new French service promises channels and content specifically targeted to French speaking viewers. The new service includes tailor-made new packages designed for family TV viewing. Channels will include African-produced content, blockbuster international series and sitcoms, kids entertainment, religious and educational/documentaries. The service will offer an entry-level package as well as a premium package, which will include up to 10 live Barclays Premier League games per week.
GTV will shortly be launching in the DRC, Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire, Gabon, Senegal, Congo Brazzaville, Togo and Benin. The first of these new services started on 16 August.
The launch of these new services at least provides some much needed competition for the near monopoly of Vivendi-owned Canal Plus. It has kept bouquet prices high and has in a number of countries suffered severe problems with piracy. Although it does not report its African subscription numbers separately, Balancing Act estimates that its Sub-Saharan African subscribers number around 200,000.

Taggart confident he can turn around Western Kentucky
By ALAN DELL — [email protected] Posted: 12:00am on Jul 16, 2010

By ALAN DELL
The one thing Willie Taggart has learned since becoming a head football coach is that there is no down time.Since he took over at Western Kentucky, Taggart has been busier than a politician just before election day. He is one of the most sought after speakers in a state that already has Rick Pinto and John Calipari and next month he has a dinner engagement with the governor.That’s a big step up for an 8-year-old kid who spent a good part of his youth working in the Palmetto orange groves. “Picking oranges taught me what I didn’t want to do and that football was my way out. I had to be the best player and to do that I had to out-work everyone,” he says. Taggart has yet to coach a game since he was hired last November to turn around a Western Kentucky football program that has lost 20 straight games.But that doesn’t mean the former Manatee High quarterback hasn’t been competing and testing himself.“I’ve done more speaking engagements since I’ve been here than I did in my entire life,” Taggart says. “At first it was hard, and I had to work on it. I am a lot better at it now and a lot more comfortable. I learned how to present myself in the best way and realized I don’t have to speak so fast or be afraid.”History is also not lost on Taggart, who appears on the verge of becoming a rising star in the college football coaching ranks.This fall Kentucky will become the first and only state in the country to have three black head football coaches at its three major (FBS) colleges with Taggart, Charlie Strong at Louisville and Joker Phillips at Kentucky. It is the first head coaching job for all three, but at 34, Taggart made it up the ladder a lot quicker than the 47-year-old Phillips and Strong (49). “We talk. A lot of it is about where we are in our programs and life in general and not that much football. Right now Joker is not going to say a lot because we play each other,” he says. It has helped that Taggart was a star quarterback for the Hilltoppers from 1995-98 and is considered the best football player WKU has ever produced.The difference is that the WKU of today is headed into its third year as a Division IA program and hasn’t had any success since moving up. It doesn’t bother Taggart. When he sees insurmountable odds, he remembers his days of picking oranges with his four siblings, mom and dad. They all had to chip in to pay the rent and put food on the table.“I have been working hard all my life, and it has gotten me here. But we want to go further,” Taggart says. “The enthusiasm and excitement I have received around the state has surprised me. I’ve always wanted to be the best and tell our football team we are going to chase greatness.”Taggart caught it as a player guiding Manatee to a state championship and becoming one of only four players to have his number retired at WKU after a record setting career. He spent the past three seasons at Stanford helping Jim Harbaugh turn that program around.The WKU football program couldn’t be any lower, which is one reason many considered Taggart the best person for the job. Until his junior year at Manatee High, he and his parents and four other siblings lived in a three room apartment, an environment he feels prepared him to succeed.“That is where it all started for me, and every time I come to Manatee County to recruit I go back there,” he says. “It motivates me and reminds me that I have not changed who I am because I am a head football coach at a university. I don’t want to try and be anybody else because then I will not succeed.”With no head coaching experience, some have questioned Taggart about how he is going to turn around a program that is a doormat. Those questions do not frighten him, and this year he had the No. 1 rated recruiting class in the Sun Belt Conference.“I tell them I have no evidence that I can win, but have faith in me,” Taggart says. “Everywhere I have been as an assistant coach and a player I have won. I tell them they have a chance to be part of something special and that I am recruiting you to come in and take somebody’s job. That is the environment we are going to have around here.”Taggart has recruited heavily in Manatee County, leaving the belief that he is trying to help those who grew up in an environment similar to him. He says nothing could be further from the truth.“We are not offering them scholarships to show love. We are offering guys to come here and win football games. I know there are really good football players there,” Taggart says.

Histoplasmosis due to Histoplasma duboisii
Synonyms
African histoplasmosis. Contrast with North American histoplasmosis due to Histoplasma capsulatum
Definition and forms of the disease
Histoplasmosis due to Histoplasma duboisii is a mycotic infection primarily involving cutaneous, liver, lung, lymphatic, subcutaneous, and bony tissues. Skin and bone are the most frequently invaded sites [454]. The etiologic agent grows as a large yeast within giant cells. It may also present with small cells that are typical of those seen in histoplasmosis due to Histoplasma capsulatum. Nodular and ulcerative cutaneous and osteolytic lesions of bone that disseminate or remain localized are the primary clinical characteristics of histoplasmosis duboisii [11, 1185, 1186, 2101].
Prognosis and therapy
Special resource: You may also want to refer to the Infectious Disease Society of America-Mycoses Study Group (IDSA-MSG) Practice Guidelines for this disease. It is available at the IDSA website.
Isolated lesions may heal spontaneously. Surgical management is also an option. Disseminated disease has a grave prognosis, especially if the liver and spleen are involved. Amphotericin B, itraconazole or fluconazole are the drugs of choice [6, 36, 1690, 2302].
Histopathology
Minimal cellular reaction to the fungi is noted with the exception of large numbers of giant cells (up to 80 µm) and macrophages. Neutrophils are usually present, especially during necrosis. The globose to ovoid, thick-walled yeasts are 7-15 µm (average 10 µm) in diameter and may form rudimentary pseudohyphae consisting of 4 or 5 cells. Large aggregates of yeast cells can be readily seen within giant cells and extracellularly following necrosis of the host tissue. Unlike Blastomyces dermatitidis, the blastoconidia are not attached to the parent cell by a broad neck.
Laboratory
Direct examination
Clinical specimens such as tissue are examined in 10% KOH or calcofluor. The large yeast cells should be readily visible. Care must be taken to ensure that B. dermatitidis is not confused with the etiologic agent of histoplasmosis duboisii since they both occur in Africa.
Isolation
Inoculate the clinical material onto Inhibitory Mould Agar and/or yeast extract-phosphate agar and/or BHI agar with 10% sheep blood and/or a medium containing cycloheximide. Incubate cultures at 30°C and do not discard until 12 weeks.
Laboratory confirmationConfirmation is necessary to ensure that the fungus is not a species of Chrysosporium or Sepedonium. This can be accomplished by the mould to yeast conversion, exoantigen technique or DNA probes. The etiologic agents of histoplasmosis capsulati and histoplasmosis duboisii are morphologically identical at 30°C and by DNA testing and exoantigen confirmation.

Finals pain before success
August 22nd 2006 05:29
After seven consecutive wins, the Fremantle Dockers are being talked up as legitimate premiership contenders.
Some commentators of the game are even going as far to suggest that a Dockers flag in 2006 isn't out of the realms of possibility, and while this a romantic notion it isn't necessarily in lines with reality.
History suggests that a side needs to experience finals pain before they can genuinely contend for the premiership.
The Dockers cross-town rivals West Coast fell short at the last hurdle in 1991 against Hawthorn, but bounced back the next season to claim the first of two premierships in three years for the club.
Even Brisbane, regarded by many as the greatest side of the modern era played five finals from 1999 to 2000 before claiming the first of three flags in 2001.
Compare this with Fremantle who have played one final since their inception in 1995- a 44-point loss to Essendon at Subiaco in 2003, and you can see why any talk of
a Docker premiership is premature.
One only has to ask the likes of Port Adelaide, Sydney or St Kilda to find out how hard it is to win a premiership.
Consider this, the Power played seven finals from 2001-03 and were arguably the best side in the competition during the season proper, having collected three straight minor premierships from 2002-04, but didn't snag their first flag until '04.
The Saints would have to join Port as the most unlucky side of the modern era.
The men from Moorabbin haven't tasted premiership success since 1966, and have lost consecutive preliminary finals to the Power and Sydney respectively.
One would suggest that the premiership window has closed on the Saints.
Even last year's premiers have fallen short in recent years prior to their success of 2005.
The Swans lost a preliminary final to eventual premiers Brisbane in 2003, after being right in the match at three-quarter time and seemingly having the Lions on the rope.
Sydney experienced more pain in '04 when they were comprehensively beaten by the Saints to the tune of 61 points in a semi-final.
Would you have predicted the Swans to come out the following season and capture the flag?
Probably not, but it's clear that they were better for the experience.
Experience is the key, something which Fremantle lacks, with only skipper Peter Bell,hard-man Josh Carr, Jarrad Schofield and former Lion Des Headland tasting premiership success
Adding further weight to the lack of experience argument is the fact that the three players in the Fremantle squad to have played the most finals have done so with other clubs, Jarrad Schofield (17) with Port Adelaide, Peter Bell (16) with the Kangaroos and Dockers and Jeff Farmer (7) with Melbourne and Freo.
Thus any talk of a Fremantle premiership is all too premature. Let them win a final first and see where it takes them.
Remember, finals pain before premiership gain.

EXCEL Basics: Data Types and Data Input
EXCEL 2007 Basics: Data Input and Types of Data
A. Colin Cameron, Dept. of Economics, Univ. of
Calif.
- Davis
This September 1999 help sheet gives information
Text files and non-text files.
File formats.
Methods to input data from a range of sources
1. Type data into an existing Worksheet
2. Read in data from an existing worksheet or
workbook
3. Copy data from an existing worksheet
4. Read in data from an existing comma-separated
values file
5. Read in data from an existing text file
6. Read in data from files in other formats
Saving files
It can be surprisingly difficult to input data from
sources other than
an Excel workbook from versions of Excel the same as or earlier than
the
version you are using.
TEXT FILES AND NON-TEXT FILES
There are many ways to represent data on a computer.
The essential
divide is between text files and non-text files.
Text files can
be directly read using a text editor such as Notepad in Microsoft Windows.
These files often have extension .txt but can often have other
extensions (a common one we will use is .csv).
Example: For the text file carsdata.txt Notepad
yields
Non-text files cannot be meaningfully read using a text editor such as Notepad.
Then one obtains non-text characters that appear as, for example, @Z
xxxxxxx
Example: For the non-text file carsdata.xls (an Excel file)
Notepad yields
Instead non-text files can only be read using
special software.
In this example an Excel file can be meaningfully read using the Excel
program.
FILE FORMATS
The most common data formats used to store data in
files that can be
read data into Excel are:
Existing Excel workbook or worksheet with
extension .xls
This is easily read into Excel, just like reading a Word
file with extension .doc using MS Word.
Existing Excel workbook or worksheet with
extension .xlsx
The extension .xlsx mean that the file is in Excel 2007
format.
This may not be recognized by earlier versions of Excel such as Excel
97 or Excel 2003.
Comma-separated values text file with extension .csv
This is easily read into Excel.
Furthermore, because this is a text file it can be read by many other
programs.
Text file, often with extension .txt
or extension .asc
This can be read into Excel but information about the
formatting of the data needs to be provided, as explained below.
METHODS TO INPUT DATA
Common ways to input data into Excel are:
Type in data into a new Excel worksheet.
Read in data from an existing Excel workbook.
Copy data from an existing Excel worksheet.
Read in data from an existing comma-separated
values text file.
Read in data from and existing text file
(possibly
downloaded
from the internet)
and convert the file to an Excel worksheet.
Read in data from other format files if Excel
recognizes this
format.
1. TYPE IN DATA INTO A NEW EXCEL WORKSHEET
Open Excel, for example from Windows Start Menu |
Programs.
This immediately puts you into a new Excel worksheet, or prompts you
to ask for a new Excel worksheet.
Consider entry of the following data on the number
of cars in a
household
(first column) and the number of persons in the household (second
column).
1
1
2
2
2
3
2
4
3
5
Type the data into cells A1:A5 and cells B1:B5.
(Click on cell A1
and
enter 1 and then enter, then 2 and enter ....)
Then give headers to the two columns.
Put cursor in cell A1 and right-click and select Insert and then select
Entire Row.
Then in the new blank cell A1 type CARS and in the new blank cell A2
type HH SIZE.
Now headers (CARS and HH SIZE) are in row 1 and data
are in rows 2
to
6. The final data are:
Next give the worksheet a name.
Go to the sheet tab at the bottom, which may be called Sheet 1,
right-click
and select Rename and give the worksheet a name.
Finally save the workbook by using Office Button and
Save As if a new workbook
or Office Button and Save if saving an existing workbook.
If typing in a lot of data it is obviously best to save the workbook a
number of times before typing is finished.
2. READ IN DATA FROM AN EXISTING EXCEL WORKBOOK
OR WORKSHEET
This is the easiest, if you have approriate
version(s) of Excel.
Open Excel, for example from Start Menu | Programs.
Left-click the Office Button, select Open and give the filename or
browse for the file you
want to input.
Usually the filename will have extension .xls
or .xlsx
Excel 2007 should read all previous versions of Excel files, though not
vice-versa.
For example, read in the file carsdata.xls
(which is an Excel 97-2003 workbook).
3. COPY DATA FROM AN EXISTING EXCEL WORKSHEET
Suppose we are already in an existing worksheet
within an existing
workbook.
Right click on the Worksheet Tab at the bottom.
This yields the Move or Copy dialog box
If copy is to the existing workbook (the default)
then most often
one
chooses the (move to end) option in Before Sheet.
If copy is to a new workbook then choose the (new
book) option in
to
book and type in the name of the new book.
In either case select the Create a Copy option.
Give the new worksheet an appropriate name by going
to the sheet tab
at the bottom, right-click and select rename and give the worksheet a
name.
4. READ IN DATA FROM A COMMA-SEPARATED VALUES FILE
A comma-separated values file is a text file where
each row is a spreadsheet row and each entry, separated by a comma, is
a column entry for that row.
The first row provides names for the columns of the spreadsheet.
These files are given extension .csv.
Excel automatically reads in files with extension .csv
Many other programs are able to read in data a .csv
file, but not data in an .xls file.
It is a standard format for transferring data across different programs.
For example the file carsdata.csv
is a text file with the following entries
Related text files include tab-delimited text
and space-delimited formatted text.
5. READ IN DATA FROM AN EXISTING TEXT FILE
5a. Obtain text file with data from the internet
Skip this step if you already have the data file carsdata.txt on
your computer.
In your web browser click on file carsdata.txt
The web browser displays
1. 1.
2. 2.
2. 3.
2. 4.
3. 5.
Choose File / Save As in your browser to save the
data as carsdata.txt in
directory
of your choosing, e.g. in c:/Temp
5b. Enter the text file with data into Excel
Now open Excel and from the Office Button choose Open
At the bottom of the Open dialog box choose the option Files of type |
All Files (*.*) and navigate to highlight file c:/Temp/carsdata.txt and
click Open.
This yields the Text Import Wizard
The challenge is to places the first and second
numbers into separate columns, rather than
combined into one column.
In text import import wizard
Choose Delimited if the data are delimited and
Fixed width if the
data are fixed width.
In this example either option can be chosen.
Set the Start import at row to the first row that
has data, skipping any preceding text such as explanation of the data.
In this example there is now preceding text, so Start
import at row 1.
So Step 1: choose Delimited and Start Import at Row
1 and hit Next.
This yields Step 2. The default Delimiter is Tab. Change this to Space.
Then check that the Data preview has correctly split up the data, as is
the case below.
Hit next.
This yields step 3. In this case leave the column data format as
general.
Hit Finish.
This should give you an Excel worksheet with 2 columns and 5 rows in
cells A1

Dear Marie,
Precious Treasures is located on Urbano Drive in Ingleside Terraces – a private residential neighborhood in San Francisco. We are close to the 280 and 101 freeways, the K and M MUNI lines, and the Balboa Park BART station. We are available 24/7, but our regular business hours are 7:30A to 6:00P Monday through Friday. We cater primarily to infants (0-2 years), but children who go through our program are welcome to remain as long as you wish. You are welcome to park your car in my neighborhood (no stickers or time limits) and take public transportation or carpool. We have two infant spaces available (one open now and one opening in May of 2012; 0-6 months preferred, but not required), one toddler space available, as well as after-school care, evenings, weekends, and overnights for children of all ages.
I have…
• Been a professional childcare provider since 1990. For the first 18 years, I worked as a Governess / Tutor / Mentor for children ages zero through the teenage years throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I opened Precious Treasures (my family home childcare) November 2008 so that I could work more integrally with children and their families. My techniques are based on Montessori and Magda Gerber. I have experience with multiples, infants with colic and GERD, special needs children, and teens as well.
• A Bachelors degree in Psychology from Golden Gate University (Magna Cum Laude).
• 12 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units from the California Nanny College (accredited by the National Association of Trade and Technical Schools), certifying me as a Governess, Nanny, and Teacher’s Assistant.
• Infant, Child, and Adult First Aid, CPR, and AED Certifications as well as California Childcare Preventative Health and Safety Certification (all updated annually). This course provides training as required by AB243, the California Child Care Law, that requires at least one staff person present in the childcare setting who has 15 hours of CPR, first aid, and safety training. Topics included are Infant, Child, and Adult CPR, AED, and First Aid, Injury Prevention, and Health in the Childcare Setting. Upon successful completion of course requirements, students receive the following certifications: Infant, Child, and Adult CPR and AED (valid one year), California Childcare First Aid (valid two years), and California Childcare Preventative Health and Safety (no expiration).
• Passed a TB test.
• Passed a fingerprint/background check with the Department of Justice.
• Attended and will continue to attend various seminars and trade-related classes to continually update all renewable certifications as well as to learn new techniques and keep up-to-date in this field.
• Accumulated a book of pictures and recommendation letters from present and former families, former teachers, as well as members of the Golden Gate Mothers Group, the US military, and the FBI that I enjoy sharing and expanding with each family.
• A curriculum that encourages children to explore and discover their world through the use of sensory play (i.e.: water play, climbing equipment, multi-textured toys, etc.) and activity immersion (i.e.: learning by doing to encourage mental, social, emotional, and physical growth).
• A planned activity outside of my facility each day. Some of the activities we participate in include the San Francisco Zoo, the California Academy of Sciences, the Randall Museum, local music and dance concerts, and various story and play groups.
• Associated with the following organizations: Children’s Council of San Francisco

States Consider How to Get the Best Bang for
Their Bucks in Growing the Economy
By Mary Branham
The good news is this: The Great Recession ended in June 2009 according to economists.
But there’s also bad news: At this point in every previous recession, more new jobs would have been created, economist Zachary Karabell said during The Council of State Governments’ Growth and Prosperity Virtual Summit in April.
“That has been part of the cyclical nature of the economy,” Karabell said of the jobs rebound within 12 to 18 months of the declared end of a recession.
Some two years later, that hasn’t been the case.
The jobs have changed and many that have been lost won’t be coming back, Karabell said.
That fact has put the onus on states to revamp the way they go about the business of attracting business.
“I think states are trying to think more intelligently about job growth and the pros and cons of how you approach it and what’s necessary to compete,” Ohio Rep. Mike Duffey said.
Duffey sponsored legislation this session to do just that in the Buckeye State. That legislation replaced the state Department of Development with JobsOhio, a nonprofit corporation headed by business leaders appointed by the governor.
It’s a public-private approach to economic development that many states are taking.
But JobsOhio comes with a twist—development director Mark Kvamme is a venture capitalist and is bringing that perspective to Ohio’s efforts to grow jobs. Now, Duffey said, venture capital in Ohio is low. Kvamme will increase efforts to attract people who fund entrepreneurs.
“Entrepreneurs go where funding is and we want them to be in Ohio,” Duffey said. “We want them to grow jobs here.”
Incentivizing Growth
Ohio is also looking at the way it attracts businesses. Kvamme wants to move to a model where the state is investing in companies rather than the traditional method of tax cuts and land deals, Duffey said.
Venture capitalists don’t just give money away, and Duffey would like to see JobsOhio become an equity owner in companies that locate in his state.
“There’s increasingly a movement toward buying rather than giving,” he said. “That will not only keep them in Ohio, but also could provide some return on the value, long-term, for the state. You’re buying something; you’re investing in the state. You’re not just giving away money for promises that may or may not materialize.”
Many states already have some method—through the clawback provision—if companies don’t meet expected job growth, said Maryann Feldman, SK Heninger Distinguished Chair in Public Policy at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
Feldman said incentives have become institutionalized, and many site selection firms negotiate for companies, pitting states against each other in the process.
“Sometimes incentives make sense,” she said, “but they’ve gotten to be so commonly accepted.”
But the recent recession may have changed that.
Louisiana Rep. Jim Fannin, chair of the House Appropriations Committee and the state’s rural caucus, said his state has offered both cash incentives and tax credits to businesses relocating to the Bayou State. He expects the cash incentives will dry up in a downed economic situation.
Fannin isn’t a fan of such incentives.
“I hear it regularly from constituents: ‘Why do we have to buy businesses?’” he said. “It’s a drain on our tax dollars that I think is viewed somewhat as necessary, but yet people don’t seem to want to pay for it when they have to choose between health care, highways or education … It’s eating away at our tax dollars we should have for other purposes.”
The incentivized investment isn’t always a good one. Dane Stangler, director of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., said during CSG's Growth and Prosperity Virtual Summit that companies that create the jobs on initial location don’t always stick around.
Feldman agrees. “Typically, companies that you have to pay a lot to bring into a state are going to be the first ones that leave, the first ones to shut down and move out of town,” she said. “Then the state can be saddled with a big infrastructure.”
Fannin said those costs add up.
“There’s no question if we could actually see it all in some form … then I think it would be apparent to us all we’re probably giving away much more than we’re receiving through all these things,” he said.
Stangler said states should look to existing businesses for job growth.
“You don’t’ start with 1,000 employees,” he said. Existing businesses will be interested in different incentives than those a state is recruiting, but they have staying power. The Kauffman Foundation found in reviewing Census Bureau data that the age of a business has more to do with jobs than the size of a business.
Some states, like Tennessee and West Virginia, are looking at ways to help existing businesses expand. Others, like Arizona and New Jersey, are looking at changing their tax codes to help new and existing businesses.
Duffey believes Ohio is doing a lot of things right with the shift to JobsOhio, but he acknowledges this is a first step—and the model is just part of it.
“It’s all for naught if you don’t have a fundamentally attractive state,” he said. “You have to be attractive from a services and quality of life standpoint. But you also have to be attractive from a cost standpoint. Companies aren’t going to want to go to your state if energy costs are high or if land costs are high or if your taxes are high.”
Sticking To It
While states are making changes in response to the Great Recession and the changing economic model in which businesses operate, they have to stick with the effort to attract jobs, Duffey said.
“There is this complete illusion that government leaders can wave a magic wand and instantaneously overnight create jobs,” he said.
“You can’t snap your fingers and bring jobs to a state overnight.”
Karabell, the economist, said structural unemployment may be long-term because of the changing face of jobs in the US

Page ContentFour individuals have been selected as finalists for the top academic position at Colorado State University-Pueblo. The following four candidates will interview at a variety of campus forums during the month of March for the position of Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs: Dr. D’Ann Campbell, Director of Foundation and Government Relations, U.S. Coast Guard Foundation, Denver; Dr. John Mason, Dean of the College of Liberal Studies at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse; Dr. Russ Meyer, CSU-Pueblo interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Dr. Phillip Shelley, Dean of the Graduate School and Professor of Anthropology at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales. Barbara Montgomery, who had served as Provost since 2000, stepped down in August to teach speech communication as a faculty member in the Department of English and Foreign Languages. The candidates will interview on campus on the following dates: D’Ann Campbell, March 5; John Mason, March 12, Russ Meyer, March 7, and Phillip Shelley, March 1. Interview schedules and copies of the candidates’ vitae will be available for viewing at www.colostate-pueblo.edu/provostsearch. Open forum sessions for the public will be offered from 4:30-6 p.m. on each of the dates in the Occhiato University Center Galeria Pequena. The Provost has responsibility for all aspects of the University’s academic mission, including oversight of all academic degree and non-degree programs, Student Academic Support programs, Admissions and records, Research and Sponsored Programs, Continuing Education, Information Technology Services, the Library, the President’s Leadership Program, and the Pueblo School for the Arts and Sciences. The Provost provides leadership and direction for all academic and academic support programs on curriculum development, research and outreach activities to ensure that the educational mission of the University is fulfilled.Born and raised in Colorado, Campbell has engaged in numerous academic endeavors over the past 25 years, including teaching, research, publication, organizing, fundraising, and administration. Her most recent academic assignment was as Dean of Academics at the United States Coast Guard Academy and as interim president of White Pines College in New Hampshire. She also has served as Vice President for Academic Affairs at two medium-sized, private colleges in New Hampshire and New York. She built her career as dean at two schools,four years at Austin Peay State University in Tennessee, and seven years at Indiana University, Bloomington. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Colorado College and a doctoral degree in history at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Since 2004, Mason has served as Dean of the College of Liberal Studies at University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse. Before that, he was Interim Dean of the College of Humanities and Associate Vice President for Faculty Affairs at California State University, Northridge. For four years, he trained accreditation evaluators and supervised the accrediting process for the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the North Central Association of Colleges and Universities. He also has been a faculty member in the Departments of English at Western Washington University and at Youngstown State University. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Northern Colorado, a master’s degree, and both Doctor of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of Oregon in 19th century British and American literature. Meyer has served at a broad range of institutions, including a research extensive institution, an open-admissions urban university, and two regional comprehensive universities in a variety of capacities from director of composition and undergraduate studies to department chair, dean, interim provost and interim president. Since March of 2000, Meyer has served as the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at CSU-Pueblo. He has served as Interim Provost since July 1, 2006. Prior to coming to Pueblo, he was chair of the Department of English at Emporia State University (KS) for six years and chair of the Department of English at the University of Houston – Downtown. The first half of his career was spent in various administrative and teaching positions at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in English from Ohio State University, and a doctoral degree in English from the University of Minnesota. Shelley earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from New Mexico State University and the University of Northern Colorado and a doctoral degree from Washington State University, all in anthropology. Among his credentials are eight years as an academic dean, 13 years as a department chair, and more than 25 years of university level classroom practice, all at Eastern New Mexico

Xavier Nady
RF
.281/.338/.452
.280/.340/.467
.278/.330/.476
How about that? We were too pessimistic - perhaps we were too concerned about Nady's power-free showing with the Bucs in 2006 - but ZiPS pretty much nailed it. Escroll came the closest, guessing that Nady would hit .285/.351/.476 if we wasn't platooned (which he wasn't).Speaking of platooning, much has been made of the fact that Nady hit pretty well against right-handed pitching this year, going .274/.322/.479. One problem, though, was that he hit about the same against left-handed pitching and, against lefties, was significantly worse than his career averages. That's a shame because Nady could form a heck of a platoon with Ryan Doumit if Nady went back to his lefty-killing ways and Doumit stayed healthy.In truth, Nady's splits this year probably don't mean a whole lot. He probably will go back to hitting lefties better than righties. And let's hope he does, because consistency shouldn't be high on the list of things we want from Nady. His 105 OPS+ this year is only a notch above average for a rightfielder, he's not a great defender, and he probably won't stay healthy. (The concussion and digestive problems he suffered this year probably won't bother him again, but his hamstring could continue to be an issue.)Nady's useful, but he's a role player, not a star. From a player like that, you should hope for huge platoon splits, because that's an inconsistency that's exploitable. If Nady puts up a 1.000 OPS against lefties and a .750 OPS against righties, and Doumit puts up an .865 OPS against righties like he did last year, then the Pirates have one of the best offensive right-field tandems in baseball even if Doumit is hurt half the time like usual. As it stands now, they're just a little above average.

Speaking of ZiPS...
...the 2008 numbers for us are up.
Bouncebacks for Bay, LaRoche, Duke, and Torres, plus improvement for Doumit, but also dropoffs from Freddy, Nady, and Snell.

Platoon splits
For RHBs, platoon splits all converge toward the same ratio with additional playing time. This sounds crazy, but it's actually pretty well documented. Lefties and switch-hitters don't do so, for reasons that remain largely speculative.
As such, Nady's platoon splits over the next few years shouldn't be too tough to model.

Vlad,
Have you ever seen an explanation for the platoon advantage? Does it have to do with seeing the ball better from one side or another? That seems kind of counterintuitive to me, because it seems like a RH batter would get a better view of the ball from a pitcher's right hand. Does it have to do with ball movement, pitches from RHPs generally moving away from right-handed batters and vice versa? I'm not debating that the platoon edge exist, it certainly does. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone try to explain why.

Nothing analytical.
If you wanted to break it down, there might be a way to screen any "picking up the ball effect" from a "ball movement" effect. Actually, there are two potential ball movement effects: The one from the location of a release point on one side of the mound or the other, and the one from the direction of motion on breaking balls (since basically nobody throws a screwball nowadays).
The easiest way to do things might be to chart pitches for a low-level kids' league and see whether guys there still have a platoon split. If they do, it's ball movement from release point, since LL kids don't have much deception or any breaking ball. To screen for the breaking ball effect, you could maybe pull a sample of notable screwball pitchers, match them up with non-screwball equivalents who throw from the same side, and see whether there's a difference in platoon split.It's an interesting question.

That seems kinda complicated
Could take years of charting low-level kids games, and I don't have any kids. Could lead to "Billy, whose dad is that creepy old guy sitting over there with the video camera and all the notebooks? Nobody's? Ummm ... Billy, I want you to take the cell and go sit in the car and lock the doors and call 911. NOW, Billy! ... F'in' pervert ..."
So OK, who threw the screwball? Carl Hubbell, I think Mike Cuellar ...

This might be oversimplifying
What Vlad writes below may be true, at least in part, but I think there's a pretty simple explanation: the caveman instinct of fight or flight. Mostly flight.
A pitch from a righty to a righty or lefty to lefty, looks to the batter like it will hit him in the head. It's why guys get their knees buckled, or bail out. Think Randy Johnson vs. Kruk or Larry Walker. Yes, he did throw over their heads, but the reason it works is because almost ANY pitch he throws will appear that way at release. Johnson is an extreme example because he was very tall and his motion wasn't anywhere near over the top. To lefties, his pitches have to cross their body, so to speak, before reaching the plate. Even if a batter doesn't conciously think about getting hit, it's a natural self-defense mechanism to shy from a 95mph pitch. Even if you can't see the batter bail out or flinch, there is something inside the human body that is freezing it. It's something that separates the good from the great, the ability to fight that natural mechancism. If you've ever wondered why so-and-so let a fastball go right down the middle for strike three, sometimes this is the reason.

Except I would think
most guys got to the majors by being able to overcome that (although, yes, we still see the bucket-steppers like Paulino).
Dammit, I had what I thought was a novel idea about this, and now I've forgotten what it was. I'm at the age where I have to write everything down ... I'll be back if it comes to me.

While I'm trying
to remember what I forgot, it seems to me azibuck's theory would be fairly easy to gather evidence for (not for me, I don't have anything like the software needed, but maybe one of you does?). Let's say intimidation/fear was a big part of it. It should be a simple matter of splitting pitchers into two or three groups: high-strikeout, medium strikeout and low-strikeout (presumably, hard, fearsome throwers, medium throwers and soft tossers).
The aforementioned Randy Johnson DOES have a large platoon split in his career: vs. RHB: .221/.299/.354; vs. LHB: .195/.277/.286.That doesn't really hold up for some other high-strikeout intimidators tho.Rogers Clemens vs. RHB: .228/.284/.352; vs. LHB: .229/.304/.332.Nolan Ryan vs. RHB: .204/.301/.605; vs. LHB: .203/.314/.606.Meanwhile, a more finesse guy (Greg Maddux) puts up this: vs. RHB: .245/.277/.350; vs. LHB .254/.304/.363.It's a start. Make of it what you will.

Nady/Doumit Platoon is a Good Idea
I agree that platooning these two is good idea. We are short on outfielders that can hit so why not make one better than average one out of two less than average ones?
It worked in 1979 with Milner/Robinson who did not field well but combined to a make a power hitting combination. They combined for 40 HRs and 135 RBIs. Though some of Milner's time was at 1st Base replacing Willie.Also, I don't see either guy complaining too much plus they both can hit off the bench. One drawback is they both don't field real well. But the Pirates need hitters right now.

I still think...
...that not using Doumit behind the plate is a huge waste.
That said, if they've given up on him there, and if they hang onto Nady this offseason, a platoon with Nady wouldn't be a bad idea.

Yeah...
I'd still like to see Doumit catch. Given the new front office, it might actually happen. I guess I'd just taken Paulino's continued presence behind the plate as a given, but there's no reason to do that anymore.
You could also platoon Paulino and Doumit. That might be even more helpful than Nady/Doumit platoon.

From Audio Basics, July, 1982 Hello again, I am glad that the feedback I am getting from many of you indicates that you are happy with the information and ideas I have been describing. Some of you have complained that you want more "meat" - technical information on audio equipment. So, this month we will get a bit more technical and go through the operation of a vacuum tube amplifier, what it does, what it cannot do, and what you can do about it. The data will pertain to vacuum tube amplifiers in general, and the Dyna St-70 specifically, as we get so many requests for information on how to modify them. VACUUM TUBE AMPLIFIERS Any audio amplifier can essentially be modeled as a two stage device; a voltage amplifier (which amplifies the amplitude of the signal) followed by a current amplifier (which supplies the drive current to drive the now large amplitude signal into a low impedance load - the speaker system). Although many tube circuits will also have voltage gain in the current amplifier section, that is not important to the discussion that follows. The closed loop gain of the amplifier is determined by a voltage divider which sends a portion of the output signal back to the input of the voltage amplifier out of phase. The amplifier then does not amplify the input signal, it amplifies a signal being the difference between input and feedback signal. If the voltage amplifier and current amplifier were perfectly linear, the difference between the input and feedback signal would be only a small version of the input signal and the results would be "perfect." In theory, any difference between input and output is supposed to be eliminated by feedback. The feedback signal, which is a duplicate of the output signal, when subtracted from the input signal, should create a "difference signal" which is "pre-distorted" by the amount of distortion in the circuits, but out of phase with the circuit's distortion. The "pre-distortion" in the "difference" signal, when added out of phase to the actual distortion in the circuits, cancels exactly, giving a "perfect" output signal. That is the way it is supposed to work. By the way, there ain't no such thing as a no feedback amplifier! There are many different feedback schemes. One can choose to use lots of local feedback in each stage and little overall loop feedback, but each device in itself (whether it is transistor or tube) has internal feedback. If one attempts to make an amplifier with "no feedback" except for that inherent in the devices themselves then the design becomes absolutely dependent of the characteristics of each independent device. No two tubes or transistors, even of the same type, are identical. Even if you painstakingly select and bias each individual device one at a time, its characteristics will change with variations in temperature, current, voltage, and age. It will be impossible to make any two channels the same and to keep them the same. The main characteristics of a so called "no feedback" amplifier are: very high cost (each unit is essentially a one off), very hot running as the devices have to be biased on very hard, unstable operation as the unit changes characteristics with age and temperature, no two samples will sound the same as they are device dependent, and lots of "blow-ups." Obviously, repairs will be expensive as a repair is essentially a re-engineering of that unit with new devices and re-biasing of each device. I can live without it. The "wonderful" sound of a "no feedback" amplifier is the wonderful sound of lots of instabilities and underdamped oscillations. You may like it, I don't, it isn't music. Thus, those that choose to build stable, repeatable, and rationally priced amplifiers will use some feedback. The catch is in knowing what the feedback can and cannot do in the real world, and to use the feedback properly, so that the unit does not only measure well, but actually performs well under transient conditions in the real world. Now, back to that vacuum tube amplifier. Remember we mentioned that if the voltage amplifier and the current amplifier were perfect, everything would be just fine. Sorry folks, the internal circuits are not perfect and that is where the troubles start. Inasmuch as the feedback is supposed to compensate for any non-linearities between input and output, it is nice to know what non-linearities exist. First of all each individual active device is nonlinear. Its transfer characteristics are exponential, not linear, be it tube, FET, or transistor. Refer to the sketches below. If the device was perfect, its transfer function would be a straight line, and the slope would remain the same at all frequencies. The actual characteristics are shown in the second and third sketches. Note that the characteristics are actually exponential. The device is only very linear near the center-line of its operation, and the harder it is "worked", the less linear it becomes, finally becoming 100% nonlinear when its absolute limitations are reached. In addition, the slope of the transfer function becomes less at higher frequencies as the gain of the device reduces. Thus if one attempts to get the same output from any given device at higher frequency, one will drive it into gross non-linearity sooner, as its headroom is less. In a similar fashion, at very low frequencies (approaching DC) the device becomes more nonlinear and its gain drops. In addition, because the slope changes with frequency, a kind of phase distortion is introduced which is not measured in standard IHF distortion tests, which measure only single frequency performance.
Obviously, to optimize internal linearity, it is very desirable to operate each device within as narrow a bandwidth and as limited an amplitude range as possible while still covering the audio frequency range of interest. In a vacuum tube amplifier another major non-linearity is the output transformer. The output transformer's primary coil is just that-a very large coil (inductor) in series with the output tubes. Obviously the coil becomes very resistive as the frequency goes up, and in an audio amplifier this happens well within the audio range, rolling off the high frequency output. At very low frequencies the core of the transformer saturates giving very nonlinear bass performance. If one wants good high frequency performance then one must have very small output transformers so that the coil inductance is low. If one wants good low frequency performance one must have very large transformers so the core does not saturate. These requirements are mutually self exclusive. These requirements become more difficult to meet as the power rating goes up. If one attempts to "get around" this by designing a tube amplifier without output transformers, then one is faced with the problem that output tubes have very high output impedance and will not drive normal loudspeaker loads (8 s nominal) without severe non-linearities. Since the output transformer is a very narrow band and nonlinear device, it is obviously necessary to not feed into the transformer a signal that it cannot handle-the bandwidth of the amplifier must be limited to within the bandwidth of the output transformer. You cannot stuff 10 pounds in a 1 pound sack. The power supply is another source of distortion. The power supply can be considered to be in series with and part of the output circuit. All current that flows through the output circuit and speaker load first must flow through the power supply. The frequency limits of a power supply are real. It can be modeled as an inductor in series with a capacitor. Obviously at DC the capacitor's impedance is infinitely high, and at high frequencies the inductance is infinitely high. Thus, at very low and very high frequencies, the power supply is not capable at all. Unless great care is used in the power supply design, it may have multiple resonances, and actually be high impedance at many frequencies within the audio range. Consider also that since the power supply is part of the output circuit, if somebody offers a "wonderful" vacuum tube amplifier with a "wonderful" solid state power supply, you no longer have a vacuum tube amplifier, but a solid state amplifier, so how can it be a "wonderful" tube amplifier? Of course the power supply is also attached to the voltage amplifier section. Consider that all current draw by the output section causes a signal to show up on the power supply feeds. Any given device or circuit will work best when its supply is absolutely stable. Circuits are designed to reject power supply variations, but the supply rejection isn't absolute. Thus the more signal that shows up on the power supply feed to the voltage amplifier, the more distortion and instabilities there will be, as this is a signal injected into the circuit at the wrong place. Since we already know that the power supply is less effective at very high and very low frequencies, obviously the power supply related distortions will be greater at very high and very low frequencies. Again, a very good reason to bandwidth limit the amplifier to within the capability of its power supply. Understand of course that we are considering basic ground rules in general. There are many different kinds of voltage amplifier and current amplifier configurations that work fairly well, some simple, some complex. The important thing to know is that unless the circuits are executed to obey the guidelines established above the distortion will be very high under real world conditions, no matter what the linearity of each section is and no matter how high a quality of parts are used. Another common problem with vacuum tube amplifiers is the value chosen for the interstage coupling capacitors. In the case of the Dynaco St-70 for example (see attached schematic) coupling capacitors C10 and C11 are 0.1 uF. This introduces another large low frequency roll-off within the feedback loop. Since the amplifier actually amplifies the difference between input and feedback, and since the feedback is the difference between input and feedback, and since the feedback is taken off the output of the amplifier, at low frequencies the difference signal becomes very large partially due to the roll-off caused by the 0.1 uF coupling capacitors. Now remember that we have shown that any circuit becomes less linear with increasing amplitude and at the frequency extremes. The roll-off caused by the small value interstage coupler makes the front end work very hard to generate a large low frequency correction signal. This causes the front end to run in a very nonlinear mode at low frequencies. You hear it as "muddy bass." The "cure" is quite simple, make the interstage capacitor large enough in value so that the loop roll-off is minimized, thus reducing the correction required, and letting the front end run in a more linear mode. The low frequency correction signal is easy to see on an oscilloscope. Using a low frequency square wave as a source (20 Hz is fine) look at the signal on the output side of the interstage coupler. Note that it looks much like the input signal. Now look at the signal on the input side of the coupler. You will find the circuit is generating a signal with a large bass boost! (This is true in most tube preamps too!) What is happening is that the "flat" input signal is rolled off by the interstage coupling capacitor. Then the rolled off signal is fed back to the input and a correction signal is generated with a large bass boost to make up for the roll-off. The boosted signal is then rolled off again by the coupling capacitor and its output looks just fine. But the "monkey motion" has ruined the voltage amplifier's linearity at low frequencies. Now let's look at what is wrong with the original Dyna St-70 in detail. Refer to the audio channel schematic again, keeping in mind that the "dashed" section is our addition, the original has the input connected to V2 directly with a piece of wire. What we have is a typical vacuum tube amplifier with unlimited bandwidth input acceptance (DC coupled) but with limited bandwidth output transformers and small interstage coupling capacitors. The power supply is also limited bandwidth, being pretty feeble at both low and high frequencies. A very low frequency signal is rolled off by the interstage coupling capacitors, turned into a "lump" as the output transformer core saturates, and is further distorted as the power supply runs out of steam. The feedback signal, being taken off after all the disasters occur is very different from the input signal. This generates an enormous "difference" signal which drives the front end into 100% distortion trying to make an impossible correction. Inasmuch as the circuits are underdamped too, the "blob" makes the amp ring for a few cycles attempting to digest the mess. Some people call these distortions and ringing, which extends up into the mid-range, "concert hall sound." Sorry, it isn't concert hall sound, it is distortion. If you like it you have bad taste. At high frequencies the compensation in the voltage amplifier rolls off the signal, the active devices roll it off further, and the output transformers attenuate the highs further yet. This generates another huge correction signal at high frequencies, again more than the headroom of the front end, clipping the correction signal once again. Of course the high impedance of the supply has further compounded the problems. The amp is driven into hard slew limiting and all signal entering the amp while any internal device is slewing is erased. Gobs of high frequency distortion are added and part of the music is forever lost. It is very strange to think that some people use the St-70 to drive tweeters when it doesn't "tweet" at all-it does kind of "squeak." Obviously the power supply of the St-70 must be much improved. NO! Not necessarily! Think a minute. Consider that the power bandwidth of the power supply must be greater than the bandwidth of the audio circuit. There are two ways to get this ratio in proper order. The expensive (and stupid) way is to build a huge power supply-and if the amp has DC coupled inputs you can never make it big enough. The easy and smart way is to limit the bandwidth of the circuit to within the capabilities of the existing power supply, especially if it is absolutely necessary to bandwidth limit the inputs anyway to make the input bandwidth within the capabilities of the output transformers. As mentioned earlier, the interstage coupling capacitors, C10 and C11 are too small. Note that as long as the input is DC coupled, it is not possible to make C10 and C11 big enough, as even a very large capacitor will have an inside the loop roll off when compared to DC input acceptance. To install the input bandwidth limited filter on the St-70 you will need 8 parts: (2) 10,000 resistors, (2) 470,000 resistors (5% carbon film 1/4 watt parts from Radio Shack are just fine, and it would be better if you could use a meter and "pair" them, so they are matched within 1%.) You will also need (2) 1000 pF capacitors (mica, polystyrene, or mylar are O.K., of about 100 volt rating - the capacitors used should be physically small) and (2) 0.02 uF capacitors (film) 100 volt rating, again physically as small as possible. Again, Radio Shack will have adequate parts and if you can match them on a precision capacitance meter it will be helpful. The capacitor values suggested are not absolute. Anything from about 0.02 to 0.033 uF is O.K. for the larger cap, and 800 to 1200 pF for the smaller capacitor. The new 6 dB per octave low pass and high pass filter is installed on the input jacks on the bottom inside of the chassis. We suggest that the mono-stereo switch wiring be eliminated as the performance is poorer when bridged mono because of the difference between the two channels (no two output tubes or output transformers are identical). If you decide to eliminate the mono-stereo switch, then do the following: 1. Remove all the wires from the input jack and mono-stereo switch except for the two wires going directly from the input jack ground lugs to the PC card (these are actually extensions of the leads of two 10 resistors mounted on the card). These remain. Also remove the two original 470,000 resistors from the jack and switch. 2. Remove the two wires running from the hot lugs of the input jack to eyelets 7 and 17 on the PC card. 3. Connect a 10,000 resistor in series with a 0.02 uF capacitor and connect the capacitor end of the series set to the left channel hot input jack and the resistor end to eyelet 7 on the PC card. 4. Connect another 10,000 resistor in series with a 0.02 uF capacitor and connect the capacitor end to the right channel hot input jack and the resistor end to eyelet 17 on the PC card. 5. Connect a 1000 pF capacitor in parallel with a 470,000 resistor and install the resistor between the left channel ground lug and eyelet 7 on the PC card. 6. Connect another 1000 pF capacitor in parallel with a 470,000 resistor and connect the resistor from the right channel ground lug on the input jack to eyelet 17 on the PC card. If you must keep the mono-stereo switch option, do the following instead of the last set of instructions: 1. Remove the two wires running from the left and right channel hot lugs on the input jacks to eyelets 7 and 17 on the PC card. 2. Connect a 10,000 resistor in series with a 0.02 uF capacitor and connect the capacitor end to the left channel hot input lug and the resistor end to eyelet 7 on the PC card. 3. Connect another 10,000 resistor in series with a 0.02 uF capacitor and connect the capacitor end to the right channel hot input lug and the resistor end to eyelet 17 on the PC card. 4. Install a 1000 pF capacitor in parallel with each of the two existing 470,000 resistors on the input jack and mono-stereo switch. For mono operation, the amp is switched to mono, only one input jack is used (either left or right, but not both). Connect a jumper wire from the left output ground to the right output ground terminal. Connect a jumper wire from the left 16 tap to the right 16 tap (for 8 speakers). Take the output from the same channel that you have the input jack connected to, using the 16 and ground terminals (for 8 speakers). To use 4 speakers connect the jumper from the left 8 output tap to the right 8 output jack and connect the load from ground to 8 on the channel used. This arrangement parallels the two channels for somewhat higher power, but lower definition performance. Now that the input bandwidth is set to a rational, finite limit, it is possible to make the interstage coupling capacitors "big enough." You will need to acquire four 1 uF at 400 volt film capacitors (mylar, polypropylene, or whatever). Again Radio Shack will have adequate parts. Locate and remove the four large identical black tubular 0.1 uF at 400 volt capacitors from the PC card. They are positioned parallel with the front of the chassis, one at each corner of the PC card. Replace each with a 1.0 uF at 400 volt capacitor. The exact value of the replacements is not critical. They can be anything between 0.8 uF to 2.0 uF at 400 volts or higher. It is important that all four new capacitors be exactly the same. Further detail improvements can be made to the St-70. The bias supply capacitors in old St-70 amps should be replaced. We suggest that the two original 50 uF capacitors (C3 and C4, located on the 7 lug terminal strip under the chassis) be replaced with new 100 uF at 80 volt electrolytic capacitors (again, available at Radio Shack). Note that the positive end of each cap is connected to ground. Do not use a larger capacitor in this application or the supply will come up too slowly, over-biasing the output tubes at turn on. Although the original power supply is now adequate, further reductions in hum and noise can be made by installing an additional 100 uF at 500 volt electrolytic capacitor (a 450 volt rated cap with a 500+ volt surge rating is adequate unless you have high line voltage) from pin 8 of the power supply tube (V1-5AR4) to chassis ground at the ground lug near the quad filter. The positive end of the cap goes to the tube socket, the negative end to ground. Inasmuch as the perceived "image" and "depth" of an audio system is dependent upon both channels having exactly the same gain and phase response, and because the resistors in the St-70 (and other tube amps) may have drifted out of specification over the years, it is helpful to replace all of the resistors with new tight tolerance parts. The gain determining resistors especially should be matched to each other within 1%. The RN60D and RL42S metal film resistors shown on the attached St-70 parts list are a good choice. However using 1/2 watt carbon film resistors for the RN60s and 2 watt carbon film resistors for the RL42S types is just fine, except you will have to sort more of them to get a tight channel-to-channel match. Because selenium rectifiers (the small little finned block located in the bottom middle of the chassis) become resistive with age, you may be able to increase the voltage to your bias supply by substituting a lN4004 silicon diode for this part (Dl). Because the negative voltage to the bias supply will now be higher than stock, it probably will also be necessary to change the value of Rl (10,000 2 watt resistor) to 18,000 2 watt to allow the amp to bias adjust at 1.56 volts DC across R20 in the center of rotation of P1 and P2. The St-70 and other tube amplifiers run very hot. This tends to make solder joints deteriorate with time. Re-solder all solder connections in the amplifier, including all parts, leads, and the tube sockets on the PC card. Clean the input jacks, output terminals, the bias pots, and all the tube sockets with DeoxIT-D5 (we have 5 oz. spray cans available for $20). Usually lightly "crimping" the hot (inner) terminals of the input jacks will eliminate patch cable dropouts. In the St-70 the noise characteristics, gain, power, and slew rate are dependent upon having high quality tubes in the unit. We have SovtEC EL34G+ output tubes available at $80 per set of four plus $6 shipping and a SovtEC 12X4 rectifier tube available for $15 plus $6 shipping. We do not have 7199 tubes available. Refer to the attached schematic and parts list for other service and adjustment notes on the St-70. I assume you have noticed we have not spent much time on the inner details of the circuit topography of the St-70. There may, or may not be "better" input, phase inverter, and output circuits available. The point is that almost all tube amps are mistakenly DC coupled and whatever the internal circuits are, they are driven into gross nonlinearities. The important concept is that any tube amp in which the input is limited to within the internal capabilities of the circuit will outperform any tube amp that can be driven into internal overload, no matter how expensive or complex the circuits may be. And the final limitations of a tube amplifier are the output transformers. Lots of money spent trying to achieve a "better" drive circuit probably is of little value, because the output transformers still are the limits of performance. THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO TO YOUR VACUUM TUBE AMPLIFIER (AND WHY). DO NOT install a solid state diode bridge to replace the vacuum tube rectifier. The supply is operating at 500 volts with line surges over 1000 volts! There are no reliable diodes available to operate at this voltage. You will be in great danger of blowing the diode bridge and damaging your power transformer and filter capacitor. In addition, the solid state supply will "turn on" instantly, and the full B+ voltage will be fed to the tubes before the heaters have warmed up and turned the tubes on. This will tend to over voltage the quad filter capacitor and capacitors downstream, which may damage them. The output tubes will run hotter than normal and have a short service life. There are no useful redeeming advantages to a solid state diode bridge. DO NOT install solid state regulators. The "aftermarket" circuits we have seen use transistors with inadequate voltage ratings (operating in the "blow-up" mode) and have severe slew rate limitations. Remember, the bandwidth of your power supply must be greater than the audio circuits, and a series bipolar regulator is bog slow! It will change the sound, it makes it much worse! DO NOT add external power capacitors. The long hookup wires will have lots of inductance and impair the high frequency performance. DO NOT rewire the amplifier internally with "magic wire." The chances are you will screw up the lead routings, add longer lead runs than the original and increase stray inductances. The probabilities of internal short circuits and bad connections increase as the wires are too large for reliable termination. DO NOT replace your capacitors with high priced and physically large "wonder caps." The larger the physical size of a given value capacitor, the greater its inductance will be, and the more trash it will dump into the circuit. Magic "wonder caps" do change the sound, they make it worse! DO NOT use polystyrene capacitors near heat generating components. They change value with temperature, and near an output tube they may even melt. DO NOT ship your vacuum tube amplifier to us to fix if you screw it up unless you CALL US FIRST at 651 330-9871. Output tubes don't survive shipping, tube amps are heavy and expensive to ship, and their performance is limited. One of the "joys" of owning a vacuum tube amplifier is learning how to fix it yourself. If you don't want to do this, you shouldn't own a vacuum tube amplifier. 2005 Note:
We can get much better results now with our complete $449 Ultimate 70 Rebuild
Kit. It includes a new motherboard with all new audio circuits
(using the information contained herein and much more), a new
B+ supply built of modern PC-card-mounted high efficiency, high
reliability capacitors, and a new bias supply. It also includes
new tubes to replace the now obsolete 7199 tubes. A new Input/Output
jack set kit is available too for $65
with gold plated input jacks and high quality Pomona 5-way binding
post output jacks. No cutting or drilling is required and step-by-step
instructions, schematics, parts lists, and wiring diagrams are
provided. The kit instruction manual and bare PC card are available
for $149
if you want to provide your own parts. The price of the manual
and PC card can be applied to the later purchase of the rest of
the kit as long as they are current. The sonic quality is really
special.
Formula to Solve 6 dB/Octave High & Low Pass Filter Such as Recommended for the St-70
Service Notes Examining the 1.56 volt biaset test point on the St-70 can tell you much about the condition of the amplifier. If the output tubes are old, it may be impossible to adjust the bias pots to bring the voltage up high enough. Replace the output tubes. A shorted output tube may cause the bias reading to run away high. 7199 tubes are best selected by examining the output of the amp on a scope. A low gain or noisy 7199 will show excess output hum and/or not make full power. Fuse blowing can be caused by two problems. A hard blow soon after turn-on indicates a power supply short, either a defective 5AR4 tube or a shorted quad filter cap. A fuse that blows soft or after a few minutes of operation indicates a problem with the audio circuits - probably a bad 6CA7 tube. Note that the bias setting will vary with AC line voltage so the value isn't an absolute. It is possible to swap tubes channel to channel (except the 5AR4) one at a time to locate a defective tube. The new input filter circuit provides -3 dB poles at 16 Hz and 17 KHz which keeps the audio circuit working within the limits of the output transformers. The larger C10 and C11 effectively takes them out of circuit for AC signal purposes after the input filters have been installed. It is much more important to install the new input filter circuits than to replace all of the resistors and capacitors. Match R and C values channel to channel for a good gain match between the channels. Dyna St-70 Amplifier Suggested Modifications Parts List

About Jewogle
Jewogle is not quite like any other Jewish site on the web. It looks like Google. (The look is, in fact, a parody). But, Jewogle is NOT a search engine of other Jewish sites. Jewogle brings you both a Kosher Search engine that allows you to find information across cyberspace from Jewogle certified kosher sites as well as giving an extensive listing of some of the most famous Jews in their respective fields.

Popular Jews
Abraham A. Ribicoff
Served as Conn.s Governor (1955-61). Later Senator.
Arthur Seligman
Governor of New Mexico, 1930.
Bob Rae
Former Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario. Member of the New Democratic Party. Correction: Rae is one quarter Jewish and married to a Jewish woman. He is also a great friend of the Jewish community. But he is not Jewish by either religious law or self-identification.
Bruce Sundlun
Governor of Rhode Island, 1991-95. Democrat. He is a retired Air Force colonel. He was not that popular a governor and was defeated for re-election.
David Emanuel
Revolutionary war soldier and Governor of Georgia, 1801. Emanuel filled-out nine months of the term of the sitting Governor who resigned to take a Senate seat. Emanuel County, Georgia is named for him. This entry is problematic since little is known about his early life. However, sources we have consulted reference historians that state that there is strong evidence he was Jewish. However, the irony is that one of these sources is a ministers bible in which Emanuels conversion away from Judaism is noted. Therefore, Moses Alexander of Idaho holds the title of first "professed" Jew to be a governor of an American state.
Ed Rendell
Edward Salomon
Medal of Honor winner, American Civil War. Governor of Washington Territory, 1869. Later moved to California where he became a leading lawyer and head of the California division of the Grand Army of the Republic (the Union veterans organization).
Eliot Spitzer
Ernest Gruening
Territorial Governor of Alaska between 1939 and 1953. His performance in office was widely praised. This was the period when Alaska "really joined" the rest of the United States as a result of WWII. During Gruening term in office the "Alcan" highway was built and the Japanese were expelled from their toe-hold in the Aleutians.
Frank Licht
Governor of Rhode Island 1968-1972. Democrat

Live From the Creation Museum! Dinosaurs on the Ark!
Written by Robert F. Smith aka Seeker4
Wednesday, 11 March 2009 11:35The dichotomy of how many Americans view science was brought home to me rather vividly the other day in two television shows on the same evening. A Nova program on PBS called The Four Winged Dinosaur was a fascinating look at how science works. It was a documentary about the investigation of flightless birds, in particular the archaeopteryx. That same evening, on the NRB Network, there was a Creation Ministries International program on Dinosaurs and the Bible. 12345 Read more... Add new comment Hits: 2463
Manipulative Techniques the Watchtower Uses to Control its Members
Written by Matt Konig
Thursday, 20 May 2010 12:12 1. IsolationThere is a large amount of intentional and incidental isolation that happens when you are a JW.The advice that bad associations spoil useful gifts is one that is repeated continually.Now, the difficult part is that each and every Jehovah's Witness is brought up in a slightly different way. There is a certain amount of personal interpretation allowed, and there are also cultural differences between different countries.I can only speak for my own experience, and those of the people I knew personally. I grew up in a small town in Australia, and in my early years I doubt I mixed with barely any non-Jehovah’s Witness children, and when I was at school the time I was not at school I primarily spent time with other Jehovah’s Witness children. My Jehovah's Witness friends at the time are some of the most amazing and genuine people I have ever met. 12345 Read more... Comments (4) Hits: 1257
What Is 'Evil'?
Written by Lee Marsh
Sunday, 26 February 2012 21:28 Over the past week I have talked to various people about events in my family. The word “evil” keeps getting thrown around to describe my mother. I am always surprised by it. I don’t generally think of people in terms of their actions being evil. So it never occurred to me that maybe my mother’s actions, or inactions, were evil.Generally when I am faced with a question I turn to the books. I do research. So my research this week involved the nature of evil. What it evil? How would I recognize it when and if I saw it? So my first stop is to get the definition of evil. 12345 Read more...

Ridiculous Beliefs Jehovah’s Witnesses Take for Granted
Written by Matt Konig
Thursday, 08 July 2010 18:31 Many of the things written about the JW religion are to expose the flaws in the organization policy. It doesn’t take much digging to uncover a large amount of lies, hypocrisy, ridiculous former beliefs, sweeping things under the carpet, arrogance, and a North Korea approach to running the religion, and playing some pretty serious hardball with anyone who doesn’t play by the rules.Plus a corporate culture where you are rewarded for being obedient, loyal and not shaking up the status quo. Like a sales organization where you are selling a faulty product, initially members seem to buy into the idea, sell it passionately, but after a while you begin to see the flaws in it, and ultimately realize that you have a dud. 12345 Read more...

Jehovah's Witnesses "Watchtower Religion" Impacted My Family History - Part 1
Written by Barbara Anderson
Thursday, 29 January 2009 16:12In 1998, I completely severed my association with Jehovah's Witnesses. However, it wasn't until 2004 that I heard the details from my mother, two years before her death at age 91, of how the Watch Tower organization’s teachings significantly altered her Polish Catholic father's life-course causing him to end up an excommunicated Catholic in Poland although he never became a Watch Tower follower. 12345 Read more...

Jehovah's Witness Literature: Loaded Language & Logical Fallacies
Written by Robert F. Smith aka Seeker4
Saturday, 31 January 2009 11:01The April 15, 2009 Watchtower, according to sources I trust, contains the following lines with regard to what Jehovah’s Witnesses (JWs) refer to as apostates, that is, any former Witness who now speaks openly questioning the Watchtower Society (WTS), the Bible or the Witnesses:"Modern day apostates display characteristics similar to those of the Devil. Their mind may be poisoned by a critical attitude towards individuals in the congregations, Christian elders or the Governing Body. Some apostates oppose the use of the divine name, Jehovah. They are not interested in learning about Jehovah, or in serving him. Like their father, Satan, apostates target people of integrity." Watchtower, April 15, 2009

The Associated Press
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Jeff Brooks had a career-high 23 points and Talor Battle added 19 to help Penn State hold off Indiana 69-60 on Monday night.
The Nittany Lions (8-4, 1-0 Big Ten) snapped a two-game losing streak with their second straight win at Assembly Hall — a venue where they had lost 15 straight before finally winning a game two years ago. The two teams met only once last season, in State College, Pa.
Indiana (9-5, 0-1) has lost three straight and saw its nine-game home winning streak end. Verdell Jones had 15 points and freshman Victor Oladipo scored 14 points in his first career start.
Penn State, the worst shooting team in the Big Ten coming into the game, started 7 of 10 from the field. The Nittany Lions used four straight 3-pointers in a 12-3 run and followed that with nine straight points to take a 25-11 lead midway through the first half. Penn State led by as much as 30-16 before Indiana finally started to rally.
Oladipo made 1 of 2 free throws, Jones hit a 3 and Jeremiah Rivers scored on a putback to get the sluggish Hoosiers within 30-22.
It was the first real burst of energy for Indiana — but not the last.
After trailing 34-25 at halftime, and the Hoosiers charged back quickly in the second half.
Jones made a 3 to trim the lead to 35-30, and Jordan Hulls hit another 3 with 16:58 to go to make it 39-36. Rivers’ layup with 12:43 left got Indiana within 45-42, and then Maurice Creek finally got started.
Creek’s leaning 2-footer made it 45-44, his 17-footer cut the deficit to one and then he drove the baseline for a layup to give Indiana a 48-47 lead with 8:46 to go. It was Indiana’s first lead since 5-2.
Brooks, who pestered Indiana all night, followed that flurry with back-to-back baskets, and the Nittany Lions never trailed again.
Indiana did get within 53-52 with 4:04 to go when Jones made 1-of-2 free throws and had a chance to regain the lead but Jones missed a long jumper inside of three minutes.
Penn State answered with a 9-2 run that made it 62-54 to seal the outcome.
David Jackson had 15 points and eight rebounds for Penn State, while Hulls had 13 points for Indiana.
Hoosiers forward Christian Watford finished with three points — failing to reach double figures for the first time this season.

Acer Says It Has No Plans to Phase out Netbooks. Acer on Wednesday in a statement
said that it has no plans to phase out netbooks as it increases its focus on tablets.
The company also said that it does not foresee tablets based on Sandy Bridge processors,
contrary to comments made earlier this week by an Acer sales manager in Taiwan.
Lu Bing-hsian earlier this week told the IDG News Service that Acer would begin
selling new tablet PCs in the first half of this year as it gradually phases out
netbooks and that tablets would come with processors based on Intel's Sandy Bridge
microarchitecture. "For the moment it is not foreseen yet ... devices based
on Sandy Bridge," Acer said. Acer said the range of devices available to
users is expanding and that tablets "will find their space next to netbooks
and notebooks, without taking over." Acer in November announced new tablets
with 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch screens running on Google's Android operating system, which were also shown at the recent Consumer Electronics Show. The company
also showed a tablet with a 10-inch screen running Windows 7

October 13, 2010Intertops Announces NFL Betting Action
Intertops is not only considered one of the leading online casinos in the world – this site also offers super sports betting opportunities for NFL fans who are keeping close tabs on their favorite teams this season. Intertops rolled out some super promotions where players can win top prizes, including betting tokens and even a seat to the Super Bowl at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas in February. Each dollar bet on NFL action at Intertops.com will earn bettors one entry into the sweepstake and put them in line to win the Super Bowl seat. The Free Pool Competition puts players in line to win betting tokens worth up to $100 by predicting the winners of that week’s NFL match ups.
“Our bookmakers favor Green Bay to triumph over Indianapolis at Super Bowl XLV but current betting trends show that punters are divided,” said Intertops in a statement issued this week. “Twelve percent are putting their money on the Green Bay Packers but eleven percent are backing the Minnesota Vikings. Thirty-one percent are betting that the New York Jets will represent the AFC while 36 percent think the Packers will take the NFC Championship. One hundred percent would love to win our free trip to the Super Bowl.”
New Member for PKR Poker Professional Team
24 year old Londoner, Scott Shelley, is the latest player to join the prestigious Team PKR. The leading poker room, PKR.com, welcomed the young player after he won the £1,075 buy-in no-limit hold’em event at the recent World Series of Poker Europe event. Shelley took down a field of 581 other players in the event, eventually walking away with £133,857 in cash and a bracelet. Shelley has been working for PKR.com in its customer services group for around four years already, and is therefore familiar with this site’s operations.
“It's fantastic to welcome another member to Team PKR Pro especially a PKR.com staff member and PKR.com’s first bracelet winner,” said Simon Prodger, the Marketing Director for PKR online poker room. “It was a no-brainer and we are excited to see what will be next for Scott. He is a true inspiration to all our players. Watch this space.”
“The last two weeks have been life changing and joining Team PKR Pro has been the icing on the cake,” said Shelley. “It is a privilege and an honor to join the likes of the current team members and I can't wait to start representing PKR.com at future events.”
“I'm looking forward to showing PKR.com and its community what I can do,” he added. “I aim for some more big wins and, most importantly, increasing my bracelet collection.”

Sri Lanka at home would be hard to beat, although the way this format is you could probably throw a blanket over about 6 teams.

India 2 for 162 off 20 only overs :eek: I think if they knock the remaining 159 off within 40 overs they get the bonus point.

US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Reviews Progress on I-4 Connector, Echoes President Obama’s Call for Job Creation as Part of “An America Built to Last”
TAMPA – US Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today reviewed progress on the $536 million I-4/Lee Roy Selmon Expressway Connector and reiterated President Obama’s call for infrastructure investment and job creation as part of the “Blueprint for an America Built to Last.”
He was joined at the site by US Representative Kathy Castor, Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn and other state officials.
"President Obama made clear in his speech that our mission is to build an economy where we reward hard work and responsibility,” said Secretary LaHood. “Investments in transportation projects like the I-4 Corridor mean job creation and economic growth.
We have critical transportation work that needs to be done and Americans who are ready to get to work.”
Secretary LaHood’s visit follows President Obama’s State of the Union address, in which he called for using funds saved from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to pay down the debt and on a transportation bill that would clear the way for nation building here in the United States.
The I-4/Lee Roy Selmon Expressway Connector, or “Crosstown Connector,” is a new, elevated roadway that will connect Interstate 4 with the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and link two major east-west corridors. This new roadway will significantly improve the movement of people and goods through the Tampa area by reducing congestion.
The project, which is using $105 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, will provide a truck-only direct access route to the Port of Tampa.
The port generates $7.8 billion annually in economic benefits and 96,000 jobs in West and Central Florida, according to the state.
The truck-only route also removes truck traffic from downtown Ybor City.
In addition, the Crosstown Connector provides an evacuation route for area residents as well as an alternative route for commuters traveling into downtown Tampa

Savage Appraisal Services
Dear Ron,
Having operated a business for over 37 years, I understand and fully appreciate when someone provides a compliment for a job well done.
We recently purchased a new computer, after our old horse was ready to give up. From my original phone call to completion, everyone we had contact with represented your firm very well. The salesmen were knowledgable and provided assistance in my decision to make the eventual purchase. Matt performed the installation of programs and transfer of data to the new computer. As usual, he did an excellent job.
We have always been pleased with your service and will certainly continue recommending Connecting Point to our colleagues and friends.
Thank you!

Press Release
June 10, 1995
New GE Engine Service Organization Announced by GEAE --LE BOURGET - GE Aircraft Engines has consolidated its Engine Services Department and its Commercial Spare Parts Operation into a single, $1.8 billion organization, GE Engine Services, headed by newly named general manager Tom Brisken.
"This new structure promises decided benefits for the customer, particularly in the areas of cost and time savings," said Brisken.
"Our maintenance shops will continue to provide comprehensive, top-quality overhaul and repair of engines and components.
But having Commercial Spares as an integral part of the organization ensures optimum coordination in those cases where replacement, rather than repair, serves the best interests of the customer."
GE Engine Services, the largest integrated engine maintenance provider in the world, is experiencing substantial growth, based on business volume.
Over a 40-year period, GE Engine Services has repaired more than 100,000 engines and currently provides complete maintenance support for CFM56, CF6, GE90, JT8, JT9, RB211, and Olympus aircraft engines, as well as GE's LM series of aeroderivative engines for marine and industrial applications.
In addition, GE Engine Services is a dynamic, innovative organization, as is evidenced by its investment, over the past five years, of approximately $150 million in new facilities, processes, and technological advances and the introduction of programs such as Maintenance Cost Per Hour (MCPH) and On-Wing Management.
Susan Pittman heads the Commercial Spares Operation of GE Engine Services, and Bob Malone will continue as director of sales for GE Engine Services.
Two new service general managers have been appointed at the service shops:
Scott Ernest at Strother Field, near Arkansas City, Kansas, and Mike Sims at the West Coast Operations, at Ontario, California.
Don Johnson remains as service general manager of Aviation Component Services in Cincinnati, Ohio, as does George Duncanson at GE Aircraft Engine Services Ltd., Cardiff, Wales.
A new service general manager will be named soon for GE Aviation Services Operation Pte Ltd., in Singapore.
Newly created Fleet Management Services, headed by service general manager John Abbott, administers the MCPH and On-Wing Management programs, as well as the GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) lease fleets.
MCPH is a customer-focused maintenance contract that is structured on a flat-rate cost per flying hour, tailored for the specific airline.
As a result, the airline is able to forecast its operating costs more accurately over the life of the contract, particularly if it takes advantage of the workscoping expertise of GE Engine Services.
On-Wing Management, introduced at London's Heathrow Airport

Absentia’s story
is simple enough. Callie (Katie Parker) is a recovering drug addict who visits
her pregnant sister Tricia (Courtney Bell). It’s been seven years since
Tricia’s husband Daniel (Morgan Peter Brown) disappeared and Tricia is battling
her conscience as she prepares to sign his “Death in Absentia” certificate.
Meanwhile, Callie begins to suspect that an ominous narrow tunnel located near
Tricia’s house is connected to Daniel’s disappearance. Strange things begin to
happen as the sisters deal with issues of grief, faith, and the struggle to
make sense out of senseless tragedy.
Callie visits

...Seven years after Tricia's
husband disappeared.
Content
Let me start by saying that most micro-budget movies usually
suffer from one or more of the following maladies:
Bad
acting
Bad
direction
Bad
lighting/camerawork
Bad
sound
Bad
editing
The one area, however, where every movie, no matter how low
the budget, has the potential to excel is in the writing. Unfortunately, far
too many filmmakers give their scripts short shrift. This is especially true in
a genre I hold near and dear to my heart, horror. You see, far too many
filmmakers think that horror is about shocking an audience, disturbing them,
“rattling their cages”. But what they ‘re missing is that horror is about
ideas, challenging perceptions, showing us a mirror image of our world that has
a jagged crack running right through the center of it.
And it’s through that crack that the nightmares come...
So, how would I describe Absentia?
I think the following adjectives sum it up quite nicely: confident, creepy,
intelligent, mature, and mesmerizing. And despite a couple lighting issues (see
the Visual Look section below), this movie is an example to all
micro-filmmakers of what is possible if you have the talent and drive to tell
an intelligent story using the resources available to you.
I don’t want to give away too much about the story, but I
believe everyone (especially horror fans) owes it to themselves to check it
out. It’s enough to say that the greatness of the script isn’t what’s
explicitly stated or shown, but rather what’s implied. It’s the suggestion of
character relationships and dynamics, allowing the audience to fill in the
gaps. I was reminded of the Swedish vampire film Let the Right One In, which has a similar character-driven tone to Absentia.
Minor Spoilers Ahoy
Take for instance Tricia’s pregnancy. When we first meet her
and learn that her husband went missing seven years ago, the question arises,
“Okay. So, who’s the baby daddy?” Well, through gradual reveals we come to
learn that Detective Ryan Mallory (Dave Levine) is the father. Of course, it’s
assumed pretty early on that he and Tricia are more than just professionally
connected, but Flanagan’s script never spells this out. There are very few
expository scenes where characters prattle on and on about what has happened,
explaining plot points or motivations through dialogue. No, everything is shown
through actions!
The first rule of great directing is great casting. Of
course, many micro-budget filmmakers don’t have access to the talent pool
director Flanagan has (he lives and works in LA). But that’s really just an
excuse. Great talent exists everywhere. You just have to be willing to put the
work into finding it.
Great acting is in the eyes. It’s about an actor
disappearing and becoming consumed by the character. Like editing, sound, and
other elements, acting should be seamless, never distracting, or drawing
attention to itself. It should draw us into the story, not remind us that we’re
watching a movie. If the character is “real,” living the experiences on screen,
then the actor has done his or her job. This describes the acting across the
board in Absentia.
But after a chance encounter
in a tunnel near Tricia's home...
...Something unexpected
rocks
the sisters' world
.
Lead Katie Parker is going to be a star someday. Mark my
words. She has that spark, a rare mix of charm, likeability, and sincerity.
She’s beautiful, but not in an inaccessible way. Her performance was real,
combining toughness and fragility. People are dying for authenticity, and she
has it. I sincerely hope she never loses that quality. Likewise, her co-star
Courtney Bell is a wonderfully talented actress who delivers a fresh,
believable performance as Tricia. She was actually pregnant during the
production, which must have made what was an emotionally demanding role all the
more difficult. The chemistry between the two leads gave credibility to their
relationship; I really believed these two were sisters who had a history
together.
Other honorable mentions are Morgan Peter Brown as Tricia’s
missing husband, Daniel. Despite his limited screen time, his presence is felt
throughout the movie. His character provides the emotional core of Absentia and makes the threat of “the
thing in the walls” seem very real. Dave Levine (Detective Mallory) and Justin Gordon (Detective Lonergan) play what could have been cop clichés, but instead,
created small, real moments that give their characters depth and substance.
And, of course, a real coup for the film (and one of the definite advantages to
being in the City of Angels) was getting notable character actor Doug Jones for
the role of Walter Lambert, a man who disappeared from the neighborhood years
earlier. Jones is probably best known for his roles as Abe Sapien in Hellboy 1 and 2 and as the terrifying
Fauno and Pale Man in Pan's Labyrinth.
He was also in one of the best hours of horror television ever produced, playing
one of the Gentlemen in the “Hush” episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And while Jones is amazing in these
creature roles, his brief, but startling appearance in Absentia proves he needs more roles sans makeup.
I could go on and on about the actors in this movie. Even
actors who appeared in only one or two scenes were memorable and only added to
the richness of the story (I’m specifically thinking of James Flanagan as
Walter’s son Jamie, Scott Graham as Dr. Elliot, and Ian Gregory and Connie
Ventress as Daniel’s parents).
Visual Look
From a technical perspective, Absentia is nearly flawless.
Absentia is
directed with a confident, sure hand and credit has to go to the Director of
Photography (Rustin Cerveny) as well as director, Flanagan. The shot selection
was solid. Unique angles and differing perspectives created a feeling of unease
throughout the film; however, these choices never felt awkward or forced. Solid
camera direction is essential to telling an effective visual story. A
poorly-composed shot or violation of the 180-degree-rule can pull an audience
right out of the story, leaving them feeling disengaged and unsatisfied with
the experience. Absentia, thankfully,
never suffers from this avoidable misstep.
There were, however, a few technical issues (I did say nearly flawless after all). In a few
shots, characters were backlit in a doorway or in front of a large, living room
window, their faces cast in silhouette. This wasn’t horribly distracting; it
just felt like it was more the result of limited lighting (i.e. budgetary
restraints) rather than specific artistic choices. An example of where
violating this backlighting “rule” worked to Absentia’s advantage was when Callie is jogging through that
ominous tunnel. Several shots show her at the far end of the tunnel,
out-of-focus in the background, silhouetted against a blinding white blaze of
daylight. This created an ethereal, otherworldly feel and was perfect for
evoking a sense of the disjointed and alien nature of the tunnel itself.
After a
night of terror...
..Callie must convince
her sister
about the tunnel.
Speaking of the tunnel, it made for a perfect location and
is a great example of writing your script around what you have access to. As I
understand it, director Flanagan came up with the story of Absentia as a way to feature this creepy tunnel, which is located
near his home. Too often, and I’m guilty of this myself, micro-filmmakers don’t
consider what they have access to and can use for free. This is essential if
your film is going to get made.
The only other problem, from a technical perspective that I
noticed was some vignetting around the edges of the frame in a few shots. This
was especially evident in one scene that occurs late into the film. It involved
two characters in Tricia’s house being stalked by the creature (I don’t want to
go into too many specifics for risk of spoiling the film). The scene in
questions was so taut with suspense, well-acted, and perfectly cut together
that, to be perfectly honest, I didn’t even notice the vignetting until my
second viewing.
The special effects in Absentia are understated and never distract from the story. At the end of the day, this
is a monster movie. It reminded me of Guillermo Del Toro’s Mimic in regards to the central creature (although the thing is
never fully revealed). Of course, tonally, the movie has more in common with
Del Toro’s Cronos. Truth is, if
you’re a gorehound, you’re going to be left wanting. But I hope most who read
this, while maybe aficionados of splatter can appreciate a great story, well
told, despite the lack of the red stuff.
Use of Audio
The audio levels were clear and consistent throughout Absentia. Dialogue was never muddy and
all Foley and sound effects were so well integrated into the overall sound
design as to pass unnoticed (as it should be). The musical score by Ryan David
Leack was subtle
and effective at setting the tone; however, it was a little overused for my
tastes. There were several scenes where the music was meant to heighten the
tension, but the actors are so good, I think they could have carried the scene
without assistance.
For example, take the scene between Tricia and Detective
Mallory in the car. He’s trying to convince her of his commitment and the music
felt heavy handed, trying too hard to drive home the emotional importance of
the scene. That being said, I can definitely see how the music was used to
bridge the scene in the car with the suspenseful scene it was juxtaposed with,
so file this criticism under “personal preferences”.
And when the police
search for answers...
...Callie realizes she's
the
only one who can find them.
Use of Budget
The budget for Absentia was raised through crowd funding on Kickstarter.com, a fantastic site for no-
and low-budget filmmakers to raise the funds needed for their projects. The
original budget for Absentia, as
listed on Kickstarter, was $15,000, but after the 30 day funding drive, the
filmmakers had exceeded that amount, raising over $25,000! I highly recommend
going to their Kickstarter page (http://thefivedrive.blogspot.com), reading
their pitch to potential donors, and watching all the promo videos they put
together. The videos are hilarious (nothing is more appealing than truly
talented people who can make fun of themselves) and show what’s possible with a
little imagination and clever selling techniques.
As to how the money was used, I think all the movie’s donors
got their money’s worth. Using a Canon 5D Mark II, Flanagan and his DP,
Cerveny, were able to create a cinematic look using primarily available light.
And while the Canon is able to capture a nice depth of field for that extra
“movie look”, this technique wasn’t overused. Along with the Canon, money was
spent on a camera package that included a 35mm Lens adapter, Steadicam,
Glidecam, and a homemade DSLR rig.
Additionally, a third of the budget went to that most
important of areas—sound. The money was spent on both production and
post-production sound, and it goes without saying (although I’m about to) that
a film can only benefit from great sound. A movie with subpar images (see Paranormal Activity or The Blair Witch Project), but excellent
sound can win over an audience. However, if the reverse is true, and the movie
has great images but crappy sound, you’ll lose your audience every time.
Besides camera and sound, the budget also included location
permits and another important category craft services.
I know, I know. We seem
to drive this point home a lot here at MicroFilmmaker, but that’s because many
of us have either worked on a set where the only available grub included stale
bagels and questionable cream cheese, or made the near-tragic mistake of not
feeding those good folks who so generously gave of their free time to help us
on our projects.
Lasting Appeal
So, will Absentia stand the test of time? Will others want to view it again and again? While
those who really like their horror dripping with goo and spew will be
disappointed, I think anyone who appreciates subtle, creeping, quiet,
character-driven horror will be very satisfied. This movie isn’t just for
horror fans, mind you. No, anyone who appreciates great storytelling, acting,
and that good ‘ol indie-filmmaking spirit will most certainly enjoy it too.
Overall Comment
Absentia is a
creepy, subtle, old-school horror movie, and personally, I loved it. I still
can’t get over how good all the actors were. I was completely drawn into the
story; not just the first time I watched it, but the second time as well. It’s
a slow burn, for sure, but it was refreshing to see a filmmaker show the
maturity, confidence, and restraint that’s on display here. I realize much of
the “restraint” was due to budgetary limitations, but all the choices felt like artistic ones.
While I have yet to watch Flanagan’s earlier works (at least
at the time of this writing), Absentia makes me eager to check them out. All involved deserve high praise for their
contributions to such a fine example of micro-filmmaking excellence!
FULL DISCLOSURE:
Mike Flanagan has written for MicroFilmmaker Magazine in the past. As recently
as last issue as a matter of fact. You can read his “behind-the-scenes” article
on the production of Absentia here.
However, he only began writing for MFM after two of his films were given Best
of Show awards. I was chosen to critique Mike’s latest effort because I had no
previous relationship with him. He paid for a full, impartial critique and
that’s exactly what he received.

Georgian Captain Recounts Somali Hostage Ordeal: 'They Treated Us Mercilessly'
January 25, 2012 - 4:40pm, by Marina Vashakmadze and Daisy Sindelar
Georgia
EurasiaNet's Weekly Digest
A EurasiaNet Partner Post from:
RFE/RL
BATUMI, Georgia -- After nearly a year and a half at sea as a hostage held by Somali pirates, Memed Zakaradze is relieved to know his grandchildren in this Georgian port city still recognize him.
"They've grown up in my absence," the 63-year-old Zakaradze says ruefully. "But they still remember me."
In September 2010, Zakaradze was captaining a run-down tanker, the "Olib G," through the perilous Gulf of Aden when his ship was approached by a ship manned by armed Somali pirates.
"We called for patrolling ships," says Zakaradze. "But meanwhile, the vessel approached us and one of the pirates managed to come onboard our ship. As soon as he got on, he started shooting. The others followed suit. They gathered us together on the captain's deck. In five minutes, a military ship and a helicopter arrived, but it was too late already. Nothing could be done."
No Way Out
Held at gunpoint, Zakaradze and his crew members -- 14 Georgians and three Turks -- were forced to turn the "Olib G" around and drop anchor off the Somali coast.
There, the sailors spent the next 16 months enduring searing heat and brutal abuse at the hands of their Somali captors, who demanded $9 million in ransom.
Zakaradze's experience, recounted to RFE/RL's Georgian Service in its "Liberty Diaries" program, provides a rare glimpse into what the captain himself calls the "infernal torment" of life on a pirate ship.
"They treated us very mercilessly, extremely mercilessly," he says. "Kept us chained together like dogs, for eight months. We had no food, no water, and no access to the toilet for 56 hours at a time. Some days were even worse. Once they brought in bottles of urine, poured it over us, then coated us with flour. They left us like that for 24 hours."
Stranded At Sea
Zakaradze had nowhere to turn for help. The Greek company that owned the "Olib G" had gone bankrupt. Repeated calls to the owners went unanswered. And the vessel itself was about to be scrapped, so there was no chance of exchanging the ship for their release.
The case is strikingly similar to that of another Georgian cargo ship, the "Vasilios N," which was stranded for nearly a year in the Libyan port of Misurata when its Greek and Italian owners abandoned the craft and its debts.
As the months went by, Zakaradze says, life on board the "Olib G" became increasingly desperate.
"The [pirates'] lawyer, or translator, would come on board the ship," he says. "Since our efforts to reach the ship's owner had failed, they started asking us to call home and ask our family members to organize rallies, so that our government would [feel compelled to] pay them."
Booming Business
Piracy has become a growing threat in the Gulf of Aden, which is part of the busy Suez canal shipping route linking the Mediterranean Sea with the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean.
Somali groups account for more than half of all piracy attacks worldwide, particularly in the narrow Gulf corridor, which some 21,000 ships pass through each year.
Hostage-taking has become so profitable that many Somali pirates are eager to publicize the suffering of their captives in order to ensure ransom demands are met.
A blurry video released to the media a full year after their capture showed the "Olib G" crew looking gaunt and weary. Zakaradze says now there were many occasions when he and his crew were close to death.
"For 16 months, all we ate was pasta and rice, boiled in salted water," he says. "Our families were more or less aware of our condition, but we kept many things secret from them. For instance, I didn't reveal until I got back what they were doing to me. I was stripped from the waist up and tied to the stern of the ship, forced to stay like this for eight hours under open sky, in 100-degree heat."
"I was the eldest on the ship," Zakaradze adds. "So they probably thought I was going to die and that that would speed things up [with the ransom deal]."
Home, But Still Healing
In the end, the Georgian government intervened, finally securing the release of the Georgian and Turkish "Olib B" sailors this month.
Somali media reported that a $3 million ransom was paid for the men's' release, but Georgian officials deny any money changed hands.
Zakaradze himself says he's not sure what finally brought his crew's torment to an end, but credits his men with never losing hope.
But now, back in Batumi, Zakaradze is grappling with the consequences of his ordeal. His eyesight and hearing are failing and his face looks permanently worn.
Even the winter snow has proven hard to take.
"After the heat of Somalia, Batumi's climate is hard for me," the captain says in a tired voice. "I find it difficult to be in cold weather."

Updated Figures Show Much Greater U.S. Wind Power Potential
New figures from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory show that US wind resources are significantly greater than previously estimated.
Onshore US wind resources could generate nearly 37,000,000 gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, more than nine times current total US electricity consumption, according to analysis by the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA).
The previous national government survey of US wind resources, carried out by the Pacific Northwest Laboratory, estimated US wind potential at 10,777,000 GWh.
Put another way, the potential capacity of America’s onshore wind resource is over 10,000 gigawatts (GW). The US is barely tapping this vast resource: current wind installed capacity is 35 GW in the US and 158 GW world-wide.
These larger estimates are due to improved wind turbine technology, as today’s taller turbines tap better winds at higher elevations (this study measured winds at 80 meters), and to more refined wind measurements.
The new figures ranked the following states as the ten windiest, Texas, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, Wyoming, Oklahoma, New Mexico.
Indiana, Ohio and Oregon moved up into the list of the top 20 windiest states.
In a single year, the US wind resource potential could produce 364.9 quadrillion btus, the energy equivalent of all proven oil and natural gas reserves in the US as estimated by the Energy Information Administration (EIA). And, of course, as a renewable resource, wind will not be depleted and will continue to provide energy year after year.
"This new analysis confirms that America is blessed with vast wind resources that can energize our economy, create jobs, and avoid carbon for years to come--if we give ourselves the policy tools to do so, including a strong national Renewable Electricity Standard with aggressive, binding near- and long-term targets." AWEA CEO Denise Bode said in a release. "The wind resource is there, vast and inexhaustible, waiting for us. Meanwhile, the economy can’t wait, job creation can’t wait, and America can’t wait. We need Congress to act now and pass a comprehensive climate and energy bill that includes a strong national Renewable Electricity Standard

5/2/11We have recieved many calls from our friends and we are happy to report that our locations in Tuscaloosa, Northport and Birmingham suffered no damage and are open. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those affected by Wednesday's storms.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
10/20/10You may be familiar with our Dreamland brand, but you may not be familiar with our history. Dreamland was the dream of
Tuscaloosa, Ala. , native John “Big Daddy” Bishop. Big Daddy opened Dreamland in 1958 off of highway 82 and Interstate 59 just south of Tuscaloosa in the
Jerusalem
Heights area. Since that time and to this day, the original store still serves up Dreamland’s legendary ribs. Our atmosphere gives you a down-home casual feel. At the original store you will find the décor inside is warm and dark; a dining room with a big bar, booths and a pot-bellied stove; beer signs hanging from the oak beams and Christmas lights that flash all year-round. The first store to open outside of Tuscaloosa was in
Birmingham, Ala. , in 1993. The restaurant is nestled in the revitalized Southside neighborhood. Dreamland’s very presence on Southside has added to the area’s transformation and economic growth. In addition to the Tuscaloosa and Birmingham stores, you will now find six other locations in Alabama and Georgia. Our legendary ribs and sauce are on the menu at every location, but you’ll also find the menus have been expanded to include pulled pork, barbecue chicken, hickory smoked sausage, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad and house salads. We also served our homemade banana pudding for dessert made with Bud’s Best vanilla wafers.
If you’re not near a Dreamland restaurant, not to worry, because we offer most of our menu items online along with our original Dreamland merchandise. We deliver anywhere in the United States and some parts of Canada .
We hope you stop by one of our restaurants soon. You never know who you’ll meet.
Our motto still holds true today “Ain’t Nothing Like ‘Em Nowhere!”
See you soon!

2/10/10Love Big Daddy Style
Forget roses, European chocolates and candlelight, when it comes to LOVE Big Daddy knows what he’s talking about. For more than 50 years Big Daddy has been doing what he loves, making customers happy. With Valentine’s only a few days away, Big Daddy says it’s time to focus on the ones you love in a way that may not seem all that traditional. But think outside the box for a moment. If there is one thing that Big Daddy knows is the way to your Valentine’s heart is through the stomach, and he cannot think of any other place to spend Valentine’s day than at Dreamland BBQ. Dreamland offers a wide-variety of menu choices from our famous Dreamland ribs, to chopped chicken, to chopped pork, to pork quesadillas or our salads. There is something for everyone.Dreamland has eight locations throughout Alabama and Georgia. If you can’t make it to one of our restaurants, you can order any of our menu items online at www.dreamlandbbq.com.Make Valentine’s memorable by eating at Dreamland.
Oh and by the way, Big Daddy suggests, if you do make it to one of our locations, during the ride over, pop Sade, Norah Jones, Usher or Maxwell in your car’s CD player….. Romantic music and Dreamland, what more can you ask for?

Let The Good Times Roll!
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Saints fan or Colts fan, Big Daddy says this weekend it’s time to ‘Let the Good Times Roll’ (that’s Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler for you Saints fans).
Good times and football parties begin with family and friends gathering to watch the game. At Dreamland we also believe that the good times begin with good food and hearty menu ideas. Big Daddy recommends the following ‘Good Times’ Dreamland recipes for you party planners.
Saints fans you’ll have them giving you automatic first downs when you serve our Dreamland Red Beans and Rice:
Dreamland Red Beans and Rice2 cans of red kidney beans drained1 can whole peeled tomatoes undrained1 teaspoon olive oil1 small white onion, finely chopped1 small green bell pepper, finely chopped1 tablespoon garlic powder1/2 tablespoon rubbed sage1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper3 cups long grain white rice1 lb. Dreamland Smoked Sausage, sliced into small piecesPour the oil into a large deep pan.
Sauté the onion, bell pepper and sausage until the vegetables are tender, which takes about 4 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes with their juice and the spices. Cook until liquid is almost at a boil then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 20 minutes uncovered. While the food is simmering, prepare the rice. After it simmers for 20 minutes, serve the beans and sausage mixture over the rice.

Cheap louboutins
Friday, February 24, 2012 - 10:53 pm - partick
After using this for a few days, I decided to Christian Louboutin Shoes to see
if anyone noticed the particularly of Discount Christian
Louboutins. I'm currently a med student and gagged the
instant I put Christian Louboutin Uk Sale on my
face - it smelled distinctly of anatomy lab, something I'd prefer not to
revisit on a regular basis. While Christian
Louboutin Boots feel great on my skin, and the smell gets a little
better over time, I would never buy this Cheap Louboutin Shoes simply
due to the smell. Whether Christian
louboutin Pumps linked to an unpleasant experience or not, it seems that
most find the http://www.saleslouboutinuk.com/.

that although many of their products are now built in China they still use genuine Australian sheepskin so you get those great all season qualities. Now where do you buy Decker Ugg Boots? If you are in the U.S., a trip to your local mall will get you a pair of classic cardies, talls or shorts at a decent price. Head over to Nordstrom, ACHO C905
Gianmarco Lorenzi
Friday, February 17, 2012 - 10:34 pm - partick
So my daughter wants me to get her a pair of "ugg boots" this Christmas. I bought her a pair of imitation ones last year which wore Gianmarco Lorenzi Wedges out so now she wants the real deal. My question is: what is the difference between egg boots, emu boots, bear paw boots and sheepskin boots? These are words that came up as I started to do my research... and I'll be honest, before I spend $100 plus dollars Cheap Christian Louboutin on a pair of boots. I want to know what I'm looking at.
Ugg Gianmarco Lorenzi Ankle Boots boots... did you know that before the name was trademarked it was Aussie slang for ugly? Apparently these boots have been made for over 200 years in the land down under. Designed to be worn to be comfy and warm... more function than fashion.
A closer look at the design though reveals more than a cozy boot. In order to be Ug, Ugh or UGGs they be made of 100% Australian Merino Sheepskin. This gives the boot their famous fit and durability, soft and snugly like a sock but be tough enough to worn outdoors.
The next unique quality of the Ug boot is the fleece lining. Australians are said to have worn these year round. The soft lining is said to trap in body heat like goose down in the cold weather. Yet, in the hot Australian summers you Gianmarco Lorenzi Pumps could still wear your ugly boots around because the natural fibers pull the perspiration away from your body.
I have to say these boots do sound pretty Gianmarco Lorenzi Boots cool; no wonder they have so many fans! Still I don't know what these trademarked UGG boots are all about why are they so expensive when the old genuine ug's were 20 to 30 dollars? I think in reality it all comes down to marketing...
The trade named UGG boots are made by a company called Decker Outdoor Corporation. Long story short, in 1971 Australian surfer registered the name UGH-Boots and then later sold he then sold his rights to Decker OC. Decker now trades in Australia as UGG Australia and has some of the original manufacturers building boots for them. Now this next tidbit may surprise you; due to the immense popularity of the boots, many of the models are now manufactured in China! Kind of funny a product that is synonymous with Australian gets bought by an American and now Discount Louboutin Pumps gets manufactured in China.
Decker Outdoor clearly states that although many of their products are now built in China they still use genuine Australian sheepskin so you get those great all season qualities. Now where do you buy Decker Ugg Boots? If you are in the US, a trip to your local mall will get you a pair of classic cardies, talls or shorts at a decent price. Head over to Nordstrom, Journeys, Macys or Dillards at your neighborhood Gianmarco Lorenzi Shoes mall. If you want to save gas and time the online shoe giant zappos.com can hook you up with a pair in a couple of days.
So what about the Ugg knockoffs that you see for less money? Chances are the ones that are less money than UGGs are made of cow's suede. Compared to the Australian sheepskin there is no comparison the sheepskin breaths and keeps your feet comfortable Gianmarco Lorenzi in hot or cold weather the cheaper product is just going to get sweaty. If you're looking for the true ugly comfort go Australian!

Study of weather changes is constantBy Donal Hickey Monday, February 21, 2011Irish people’s obsession with the weather, and what ‘it’s going to do’, is not
unique.Many of the signs on which traditional weather prediction has always been based
are also talked about in other parts of the world.
Even though the land and climate in both countries are very different, the weather-conscious Irish farmer has, for example, much in common with, say, a fellow farmer in Greece.
For thousands of years before Jean Byrne, or Martin King, came on the television each night to give us scientific forecasts, people looked to the sky, plants, and animals for indications of what the morrow would bring.
Indeed, there’s a striking similarity in the signs on which amateur meteorologists of old, around the world, based their predictions. This is borne out by retired UCC classics lecturer, Dr Patrick Cronin, in a newly-published study spanning 3,000 years.
The scholarly tome sets out the attempts made by the Greeks to predict weather change by naked-eye observation of signs from the sky, unaided by scientific meteorology.
Knowledge of weather lore gained while growing up on a farm in Sliabh Luachra, close to the Cork/Kerry border, was fundamental in Dr Cronin’s later study of how the Greeks went about it. Much of his seminal knowledge was gleaned from his father while they saved hay or worked in the bog together, or while observing the fire on the hearth with his mother.
This is acknowledged in the book’s dedication, which reads: ‘To the memory of my father, who taught me to read the wind.’ In a foreword, TCD Emeritus Professor George Huxley describes Dr Cronin as a scholar by vocation and a countryman at heart.
He has combined his boyhood insights with his knowledge of the Greek language. But his rural upbringing helped him in another way — while the greater part of his research was carried out at his desk and in academic libraries, he could easily identify with the old people he interviewed in the Greek countryside.
It was from farmers, shepherds, and sailors that he learned a deal about Greek weather lore. His book contains a catalogue of
720 signs derived from clouds, comets, dew, frost, mist, moon, winds and many other natural phenomena.
The crucial importance of the weather for agriculture is recognised in an ancient Greek proverb with a universal application — it is the seasons, not the soil, that bear crops. Most of the predictions in Ireland and Greece are based on observation of birds, animals, insects and fish, the sun and the moon.
The Greeks, however, use far more signs from animals and the sky than we do, though some signs are common to both countries. One is that gulls fly in from the sea before a storm, often referred to by people in Cork, Kerry, Donegal and Tipperary. Another is that streaks of light beneath the sun are a sign of bad weather — found in the folk traditions of the Blasket islands, and other areas along the west coast. Dr Cronin grew up in a place with a lyrical name that would have been familiar to the great Gaelic poets, Eoghan Ruadh Ó Suilleabhain and Aogan Ó Rathaille, who hailed from the area. It’s called Magha an tSamhraidh (summer pasture), not far from the Paps Mountains.
People in the area would look towards the Paps, and other mountains, for weather indications from the presence of cloud, clarity of the atmosphere and other observations. Low clouds on the mountains are seen as a sure sign of approaching rain.
Other mountains mentioned by him include Clara and Muisire, in Co Cork, and Cnoc Firinne, near Ballingarry, in Co Limerick. Translated, Cnoc Firinne means hill of truth, believed to be so named because of the accurate weather indications it rendered farmers through the centuries.
The sudden appearance of thousands of ants on a road in Ireland has always been regarded as a portent of rain. The ancient Greeks also used this weather sign. And Dr Cronin believes that faith placed in ants as weather prophets is justified. Ants, he says, have a high sensitivity to atmospheric change and can anticipate rain sooner than man.
Another belief common to Ireland, Greece, and many other countries is that if swallows fly low it is a sign of rain. This sign is reliable, he remarks. Swallows are able to catch insects at high levels in fine weather, but when the atmosphere is very humid, just prior to rain, insects remain near ground level so that swallows descend in pursuit.
Not all the old signs could be trusted, but people all over the world have benefited over millennia from the wisdom of weather lore.

I joined the faculty of Arts and Media in 2011 as a full-time member of Drama and Theatre Studies. Prior to this, I was a senior lecturer at Staffordshire University. I am also an experienced performer in contemporary theatre and combine my teaching with professional practice.
Qualifications
I graduated from MMU (Cheshire) in 2005 with a MA (by Research). I am in the final stages of PhD study, exploring performance pedagogy in the Primary School Curriculum.
Overview My Teaching expertise lies in the interpretation and direction of devised and scripted play texts, interdisciplinary performance practice, Live Art, Post Modern Performance Theory, Theatre Semiotics and play text analysis. For many years I have taken students on residential visits to New York City and performance festivals in the United Kingdom and Europe.

Free look at a locked cubeIf you want to just take a look at the purple cube and you have an Unlocker, save the game next to it. Use the Unlocker and if the item is bad, then reset the game.
Element stylesThe Element of the type of chips you use depends on what style you get first. For example, Fire Chips for Fire Element, Water Chips for Water Element, etc.
Shadow Wide SwordIf you have any type of Shadow Chip and already upgraded the charge in your Mega Man profile, equip the Shadow Chip during battle and charge your Blaster while you are in shadow mode. When the charge is ready, release A and you will immediately transport to the enemy panels. The closest enemy to you will be hit with the Shadow Wide Sword, as well as anyone else in a vertical angle. The damage is the same from your Blaster when charged.
Battle BassAfter defeating Planetman, you can fight the real Bass. He has 2000 HP and a Life Aura 1 that will reappear. When you defeat him, you will get his Bass chip.
Transparent Mega ManGo to a panel in Kotobuki, Yumland, or Undernet and slide on the arrow panels. Walk back into the panels. Note: It should not t let you through. This will make two Mega Man bodies appear; if not, just two faces.
Third folderDefeat Shadowman and Freezeman. Then, go to the Mother Computer area. Go to the second mini-computer (the first one you jack into). There will be a girl there that wants a Bigbomb Star. Give one to her and she will give you a Program Advance Folder. Note: It does not contain every Chip for every Program Advance.
Removing panelsWhen you get into a battle and there are panels that move you up and down, wait until the chip selector appears. If Repair is in your deck, use it and it will take away the panels that move you up and down.
Blocking FishysWhenever you fight a Fishy (V1 V2 or V3), use a chip that sets up an obstacle (Remobit, Guardian, etc.) and put it in front of you. The Fishys cannot go through these obstacles. This is useful for buying time to get chips or PA in the exams.
Using SlasherHold A and if an enemy comes in front of you, they will get hit.
Get Sanctuary chip (266)Get all of the five stars and begin hard mode. When you complete hard mode, Sanctuary will be in your original save file (not hard mode).
BodyGaurd Advance Put the following chips in the order shown: Dropdown S, Anti-Navi S, ShadowMan S (V1,V2,V3).
Curse Advance The Curse Advance does quite a lot of damage. You must have CurseShield1, 2, and 3; Code: P, A, or O for all of them. To use any of the CurseShields, you must get hit, then the thing dashes out and bites. The Curse Advance dashes down all three lines, biting.
BigHeart Advance Select, in order, HolyPanel R (from Brush Man), Recover300 R (from having SS or SSS license in Undernet 7), and Roll R (v1,v2,v3).
PoisPhar AdvancePut the following chips in the order shown: PoisMask A,Poisface A, Anubis A.
Subchip plus memoryAfter you defeat Magnet Man, go to Netopia. In first screen (after going out from Arrival Lobby), search a tree in west screen. Talk to the boy and you will get Subchip plus memory.
Zeta Cannon upgrade chipDuring a fight, at any time you get these chips, you will form the Zeta Cannon: Cannon A, Cannon B, Cannon C. Note: You have only five seconds with this cannon -- shoot as many shots as possible. Remember to put them in alphabetical order.
Z-Canon2 ChipSelect Hi-Cannons C D E, DEF, or E F G in that order. This allows you to shoot Hi-Cannons with unlimited ammunition for five seconds at the speed of the X-Buster. This can only be selected in battle.
Z-Canon1 ChipSelect Cannons ABC, B C D, or C D E in that order. This allows you to shoot Cannons with unlimited ammunition for five seconds at the speed of the X-Buster. This can only be selected in battle.
2xHero Chip Advance You must have these chips in this order during a battle for the 2xHero Chip upgrade: Custswrd B, Varswrd B, Protoman B. Note: You must have the same code and have to be in the order shown.
O-Canon1 ChipSelect Cannons A B C D and E in that order. This allows you to shoot Cannons with unlimited ammunition for ten seconds at the speed of the X-Buster. This can only be selected in battle.
Secret chips (251 to 260)To get the ten secret chips, you must have two Gameboy Advances, two Mega Man Battle Network 2 games, and a link cable. Both games must have at least three stars next to their name. If you have four stars, the odds will be higher. Link up the games and go into Network. Save the game when prompted, then choose Netbattle (not Practice Battle). Battle the other person and get an S rank on them. This is done easier if one player allows the other to kill them. You will get a secret chip approximately every twenty battles. The secret chip you get will be random.
Darkness Advance In order to get the strongest attack in the game, you must have these chips in this order: Bass v3 X, AntiNavi X, Fire/Aqua/Elec/Wood Gspl X. Note: It will not work with another Bass because their chip code is F.
O-Canon2 ChipSelect Hi-Cannons C D E F and G in that order. This allows you shoot Hi-Cannons with unlimited ammunition for ten seconds at the speed of the X-Buster. This can only be selected in battle.
Best Chip Trader The best Chip Trader is the one in the ACDC Town Metroline.
Geddon3 chip After you defeat Shadow Man, go to MarinHarbor. From the center building, go down the flight of stairs and look closely at the screen. You should see a blur every few seconds. Walk up and talk to it. A little girl will say, "You found it! You take it". You will receive the Geddon3 chip.
After acquiring the Geddon3 chip, put it in your folder with a Repair Chip (preferably a * code chip). Being that it makes all panels, swap panels (which constantly takes your health away). Use the Repair to fix your panels, leaving your opponents to suffer. Note: Have Repair out when you take out Geddon 3.
Airman Version 3 You can find Airman Version 3 in Den Area 1. He deals around 100 damage for each attack but you can get 500 Zenny if you have a low rankFor about a Busting Lv. 6, you can get another Airman Chip.
Navi Chip codes The code at the bottom of a Navi chip is its name in Japanese. For example, Bass is named Forte and his code is F. Protoman is named Blues and his symbol is B.
SSS license Set either an Invis chip with a * code as your default chip, and make sure you have the chip ZeusHamr. In most of the battles, this will kill all the enemies. It can break through Guard; it even works on Hardheads. Note: Make sure that if there is a Cloudy or a Flappy that you do not use ZeusHamr until after they land or else it will not hit them.
Getting free Navi chips You can get Navi chips in the slot in Netopia near the Hotel and Bank. Choose ten chips in the slot and get a new Navi chip back free. Sometimes you can even get Version 2 Chips. Note: A Navi chip does not appear every time.
Defeat Freezeman, then go to ACDCtown. There will be a chip trader by the posters. You will get all the Navi chips except Bass and a few other that you can get only in the WWW area.
Black Navi locations Black Navi 1: Underkoto Black Navi 2: Undernet area 6 Black Navi 3: Netarea 2 Black Navi 4: Yumland area 2
Easy S-busting level A very good way to get an S busting level is to use Advances. It seems necessary for some Bosses such as Bass. Some good ones are: Life Srd 3 (line up Elec, Heat, and aqua Blades. Buy them or get them from Green Mystery Data in WWW area 1); Arrows (Double, Triple, and Quad Needle); and Ultra bomb (Lil, Cros, and Big Bombs).
SS licenseAfter you get the S license, "Delete Gospel", and "Star ID", go through the Undernet to where the laser grid with the "?" on it was located. Check it and it will open. The portal will then take you directly to the WWW area 1. Go through with your S license in hand, but be careful. Once you are inside the WWW you cannot jack out. Once through, you will see many new enemies and some are very difficult to kill. Just run from or kill them and use Full-Enrgs. Go as far as you can through WWW in area 1. Do not go into area 2, no matter what. You will find a cube requiring an S license to open. There are still more obstacles, Before going through the portal there, you will encounter three Protecto1s. To delete these you will have to do 200 damage to all of them at once. Once they are gone, go through the portal and unlock the "Mystery Data". It is army data. Jack out at this point and save the game. Jack back in again and go to the License Examiner. You can now take the test.
Extra Damage from Airman Chip Go to the front and if an enemy is in the front rank also, use the Airman chip to do double the damage.
Gamecube logoAfter defeating Shadowman, reenter the main mother computer. Go to the back of the computer. Stand in front of the "mother computer main server", where Shadowman was standing before you fought him. Slowly go to Megaman's right. Upon a stack of cubes with purple, squiggly lines on them will be the Gamecube logo.
Easy Zenny From where you are presently, keep walking around and battle a lot of enemies. If you are in Ms. Million's bag, you can get about 400 Zenny in each battle. You can also get 10,000 Zenny from doing the love letter job and from Ms. Millions.
In the Undernet 5 are three Green Mystery Datas. Save in front of them, then move the pointer in one direction to receive 100 Zenny, a virus, or 50,000 Zenny in each one of the three Green Mystery Datas.
Make sure you have Untrap. Go to Undernet 5. There will be three mystery program data. Use the Sub-chip Untrap and walk up to one of the mystery data. Unlock it. It will more than likely say "You got 100 Zenny!". Find the other one. It will usually have the same message. Find the last one. It will say "You got 50,000 Zenny!". Then, jack out and do it again. You can only do this a total of seven times; save it for when you need it.
Strongest ComboAt the Battle with etheir the Opponent are Virus or Navi, put a Battle Chip "Prism" right in middle of the Opponent`s Field. Then throw a "Forest Bomb" to the Prism on the opponent`s field.
WWW areaSuccessfully complete the game to unlock the WWW area. Go to Ula Internet area 4 and look for a glowing red warp. Enter it to access the WWW

ALLELE 4 OF MHC CLASS I CHAIN RELATED GENE A INCREASES THE RISK IN LATVIAN PATIENTS WITH JUVENILE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
ALLELE 4 OF MHC CLASS I CHAIN RELATED GENE
A INCREASES THE RISK IN Latvian PATIENTS WITH Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis.
CB Sanjeevi, Ija Cimdina, A Shtauvere, M
Ghaderi, I Rumba. Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Children Hospital of
Riga, Sweden and Latvia.
Juvenile Rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) is a heterogeneous
disease consisting of several clinical subgroups. It is an autoimmune disease
associated with the HLA class II genes. It is negatively associated with
HLA-DR1-DQ5 in Latvians. DR1-DQ5 was also decreased in seronegative patients
compared to seropositive patients in Latvian JRA. In addition to HLA, we
looked for an additional second susceptibility loci for JRA in Major Histocompatibility
Class III region. MICA gene is located in the MHC class III region and
is expressed by monocytes, keratinocytes and endothelial cells. Sequence
determination of MICA gene identifies trinucleotide repeat (GCT) microsatellite
polymorphism, which identifies 5 alleles with 4,5,6 and 9 repetitions of
GCT or 5 repetitions of GCT with 1 additional nucleotide insertion (GGCT).
The alleles are A4, A5, A5.1 , A6 and A9. The aim of our study was to find
the association of MICA alleles with JRA patients (n=119) and healthy controls
(n=108) from Latvia. The samples were analysed for MICA by PCR amplification
and fragment sizes were determined in ABI prism DNA sequencer. HLA-DQ was
genotyped by PCR-SSO.
Allele 4 was significantly increased in patients
(40/119, 34%) compared to controls (19/108, 17%)(OR=2.37, p<0.01, Pc<0.05).
4/5.1 genotype was also significantly increased in JRA patients (22/119,
18%) compared to 7/108 (6%) controls (OR=3.27, p<0.01, Pc<0.05).
5/5.1 genotype was decreased in JRA patients (4/119, 3%) compared to 13/108
(12%) controls (OR=0.25, p<0.01, Pc=ns).
In conclusion, allele A4 of MICA is increased in
JRA patients compared to healthy controls and 4/5.1 genotype also increased
in Latvian patients with JRA. Our findings suggest that MICA may play an
important role in the etiopathogenesis of IDDM

This ‘Psychic’ Metal is Predicting a Christmas Rally
By Dominic Frisby11/09/2011
Print
They call it 'Dr Copper' - the metal with a PhD in economics - because of its forecasting ability.It turned up in 2003 as the world recovered from the dotcom crash. It peaked in 2008, shortly before the stock market crash, and it rebounded in 2009.Sounds great. But in fact, if you look at it, copper actually rises and falls with general market sentiment. It's more of a barometer than forecaster.A far better forecaster would be a metal that moves before the event, a metal that peaks or troughs early – in late 2006, early 2007, say, or in 2010.Such a metal exists. It's copper's less widely discussed, less glamorous industrial cousin: zinc.So what can it tell us about today's market? And what's the best way to play it?Zinc isn't glamorous or world-savingUnlike uranium, rare earth metals, or even gold and silver, zinc is not a metal that is going to save the world. It's not the answer to looming energy, technical or monetary problems.Its main use (over 50%) is in galvanising, to prevent rust. Zinc is very reactive, so a quick coat of zinc on your iron or steel will attract all the oxidisation and protect the metal beneath. It's also used extensively in alloys (brass and bronze in particular) and compounds. You'll find zinc in a huge range of applications, from communication equipment to coins to cars to piping to bearings to water valves.It's widely used (only iron ore, copper and aluminium are more heavily used). But there's no huge deficit between global zinc supply and demand to get excited about – there's lots of it and when demand grows, production can be increased too.Identified worldwide resources are estimated at just below the two billion tonne mark. The largest deposits are in Canada, the US, Australia and Iran. Annual global production stands at around 12 million tonnes, 70% of which comes from mining and 30% from recycling.According to recent data made available to the International Lead and Zinc Study Group (ILZSG), world demand exceeded supply by 223,000 tonnes in 2011, in the year to date. World stock levels increased by 201,000 tonnes, although London Metal Exchange stockpiles (along with those of all base metals, interestingly) have been declining since the summer.From the same data, we see world zinc production rose by 14.5%; apparent Chinese demand increased by 14.9% and world usage by 16.7%.A history of the zinc priceAs for the zinc price, it is trading in a fairly tight range. Its year high was just above $1.1/lb in February and its low, in October, was $0.80/lb.Here we see a long-term chart of zinc since 1989. It fell from about $0.90/lb in the late '80s to $0.40/lb in 1993, then spent the rest of the decade mired in a tight range between $0.40 and $0.55 or so, with one brief spike above that level.After the dotcom crash, it sunk even below $0.40/lb until 2003 when it began to creep up – in line with general market sentiment.But then in 2004-5 it broke out above that multi-year $0.50/lb or so cap and within two years quadrupled. In late 2006 it broke above $2/lb. Insane stuff. If ever there is a chart that reflects the bubble of credit and speculative excess the world got itself into in that period, it's this one.Then the zinc price began falling – ahead of the markets – and quickly returned to $0.50/lb break-out point, giving back all of the gains of the previous two or three years.We then got the proverbial 'dead cat bounce', which petered out at $1.20 in 2010. We have been stuck in a range ever since, between there and $0.80 on the downside. This month it has turned back up.Professor Zinc's psychic powersI would say Professor Zinc better reflects the real global state of things than the Dr Copper. In July 2008 copper was making new highs (with oil), when zinc had long-since turned down, and the credit crunch was in full flight.In early 2011, copper made new highs again, above 2006 and 2007 levels – when the real economy was in a more parlous state. Here's a chart of copper over that period. To me, it is less a reflection of the economy and more a reflection of the speculative excess at the extreme end of finance.So what is zinc telling us now?It has turned up, and I see some buying coming back into the junior mining end of markets, so perhaps we can expect this rally to continue until Christmas and even into the New Year.But there are plenty of problems lurking on the sidelines, as we all know, so I would be ready to jump ship should they rear their ugly heads again. And I'll be watching closely to see if the zinc price provides an early warning of the next downturn.If you wanted to trade zinc, ETF Securities offers a zinc ETF (LSE: ZINC). But I can't see the point. I don't see huge price rises in zinc itself coming. The top large-cap zinc-producing companies include Xstrata, OZ Minerals, Teck Cominco and Glencore, all of which may be ripe for a rally to early next year.However, the small-caps offer more growth potential. One suggestion for a small-cap, pure play on zinc is the former golden boy ZincOx resources (Aim: ZOX), a company whose management I like.I should also mention Toronto Venture Exchange-listed Vena Resources (TSX: VEM), a company I have mentioned here before. It is bringing a zinc mine into production in Peru and, according to reports, it has made good progress. Vena has been hammered this year for two reasons.First, there was a lot of (probably misplaced) risk perceived about the new Peruvian government being mining unfriendly. Second, Vena is also exploring large uranium deposits and the market fell horribly out of love with uranium after Fukushima. But below C$0.20c Vena offers potential value and growth (I hold the stock myself).My latest gold report is now available – as well as looking at ways to buy gold itself, I’ve also tipped some speculative mining stocks that I think are poised to do very well in the coming years, and provided some updates on my previous tips.

The Eclipse EffectBreak Down or Break Through
December 4th, 2002: Total Solar Eclipse in Sagittarius
Turning a crisis into an opportunity is the modern way of looking at the eclipse effect. Don't get stuck, get a grip. If you bury your head in the sand, then circumstances will force you to make long overdue changes. Better by far to stay ahead of the game, and volunteer for the inevitable. That way you have a better chance of staying in control of events and directing your future path.
Solar eclipses happen every six months, in different cycles which recur every 18.5 years (the Saros Cycle). The sign and cycle in which the eclipse occurs will tell you which area of your activities is shouting for a shakeup.
In the rundown below read your Sun sign and your Ascendant sign. [If you don't know your ascendant, go to www.star4cast.com FREE Birth Charts and it will calculate it for you.]
Take time to work out what happened to you personally 18.5 years ago, or 37. The two major domestic/country moves in my life took place exactly that distance apart in the years of eclipses in the same cycle. And I only worked that one out after the decision was taken.
This approaching December solar eclipse in Sagittarius will obviously have more effect on Sagittarian Sun or Ascendant types, who are at a real turning point in their lives. Geminis are looking closely at relationships. The other mutable signs, Virgo and Pisces are focusing on home and work matters. Taurus and Scorpio are money-minded; Capricorn and Cancer have work and health dilemmas; Leo and Aquarius are trying to balance love and friendships; Aries and Libra are grappling with nitty gritty communication and organisational matters. More details below.
This eclipse cycle won't recur until 2020, so this is your chance to take the initiative, ask yourself fundamental questions about what you really want to do with this area of your life, and then make the radical decisions necessary.
The few days before and after an eclipse are usually fraught, highly strung, rather nervy, with few (except astrology followers) understanding why everyone is so on edge. The eclipse effect carries a major theme for the following six months and will be felt for a few weeks in advance, so there's no sense in delaying until December 4th. Get your thinking cap on.
In primitive days, the ancients' view of eclipses was that the darkening of the Sun was a portent of doom, putting them at the mercy of the fates. But these were highly superstitious people, with no sense of control of their lives. Eclipses can provoke crises, bringing unwanted upheavals, but nowadays you can chose your attitude and your strategy.
Some world leaders have lives which seem eerily to follow eclipses:
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, released and became President on the exact week of eclipses.
Saddam Hussein launched and then lost the Gulf War on an extraordinary series of eclipse driven events. He gathered his troops on the borders of Kuwait on the lunar eclipse in late July 1990, two weeks before the solar eclipse on which date the UN mandate to oppose him was agreed. In the following January on the next Solar eclipse, the Gulf War was launched.
Princess Diana died one day before a solar eclipse conjunct the potent, furiously angry Mars Pluto conjunction in Virgo in her chart.The previous eclipse in the same series 18.5 years before fell within days of the assassination of the Earl of Mountbatten, Prince Charles' uncle.
John F. Kennedy Jnr was killed in a plane crash days before the major 1999 solar eclipse, which was the same cycle as oversaw the death of his stillborn baby brother and indeed the assassination of his father, two cycles before.
For those of us not caught up in world events, the effects are likely to be much less dramatic or tragic, but they are significant if you really want to grow and develop as a human being.
This December Solar Eclipse is in a tricky Saros Cycle, usually accompanying a mood of high frustration, intense emotional reactions and a sense of being stuck with circumstances or relationship matters, seemingly beyond personal control. To add to the general feeling of angst, power-hungry Pluto is close to the eclipse, and the dreary Saturn opposition comes a few days later, though admittedly optimistic Jupiter in Leo is trying to add a dash of good luck as well from a trine. Bernadette Brady in The Eagle and the Lark remarks that rash action is inadvisable. GW Bush might do well to pay heed.
For most of us these are tough times, with anchors dragging, and generally a sense that life is quite a struggle. Roll on the end of the Saturn Pluto opposition mid 2003, and bring on the joyous eclipses of next year. So it's grit your teeth and make the best of it for now. Here's how:
Sun and Ascendant Sign:
SAGITTARIUS: An eclipse in your own sign says you are at a crossroads and must chose your path for the next few years. Decisions need to be pondered because there will be no backtracking. Make up your mind, get committed and then get moving. If you look the other way and ignore the eclipse effect, then a crisis in the next few months will force you to see where you have been over compromising. Be independent, don't rely on others for advice, let alone be diverted onto your partner's agenda. It ain't easy, but you do have choices.
GEMINI: Close emotional and work partnerships and your whole attitude to sharing, caring and relating are under the microscope. You must move into a more co-operative frame of mind, tolerant, flexible and willing to compromise. As an independent, restless air sign, none of this comes naturally. Old relationships may be under strain and on the point of parting company. Do they really suit your needs? Only you know the answer. Strong bonds will weather the storms. New relationships will come as you clear the decks of psychological debris from the past.
VIRGO: At an outer level, ensuring you have a solid, secure home and domestic base where you can put down roots is your cri de Coeur. At an inner level you are moving away from old ways of relating and refusing to be trapped by family members or loved ones who want you to stay exactly where and as you are. Pushed and pulled by opposing demands from heavy work responsibilities and emotional pressures, you need to put your own needs first. When your dilemma threatens to get on top of you, go dig the garden, walk in nature, or have a Californian massage. Getting in touch with earth energy will help.
PISCES: Is a career crisis looming? Maybe it's a hint from the universe that you are heading in the wrong direction and trying to fit your talents into the wrong box. You know you want to make your mark on the world, and have your achievements recognised, but you have to be fulfilling what truly feels like a vocation for that to happen. With Pluto around, you will also be questioning your attitude to power figures and who holds the control. Maybe you can't be the megalomaniac you'd like, but you need to ensure that no one else is pulling your strings at work either. Push family responsibilities into their proper place and focus on your ambitions.
TAURUS: Two things are dear to your heart – one is money and the other is power (OK and sex is in there somewhere as well). Your sense of security may be shaken because circumstances seemingly outside your control seem to be posing a threat to your power and prosperity base. This solar eclipse falling in the deepest, most hidden area of your chart suggests you need to get right down to rock bottom to find fundamental answers to your present sticky situation. As a fixed sign you expect the world and other people to adapt to you, rather than the other way round. This eclipse says you need to share, care, co-operate and relate in a profoundly different way in future if you are to improve joint finances and spark up your sex life in the months to come – and avoid a crisis. Hanging on for too much control, could backfire. Trust the universe and go with the flow.
SCORPIO: Money is on your mind, not joint finances as with Taurus, but your own personal piggy-bank. In the face of ungenerous influences, you know you need to take a major initiative to shake up your finances to bring prosperity in the coming months. Luckily your formidable stamina will stand you in good stead, and Jupiter also helps at your mid-heaven, bringing a hint of career success. But you can't afford to dither around, praying for a lottery win or a long-lost relative to leave you a fortune. Get real, get thinking, and then get working.
CAPRICORN: A hidden eclipse in the sign before yours sparks up psychological tensions, uncomfortable echoes of unresolved issues from the past and a general feeling of stuck-ness. If you can see the awkward events happening around you as useful pointers, reflections of what is going on at an inner level, then you can make real use of this eclipse. Not naturally an inward-looking sign, you may need to force yourself to ask the probing questions that will bring profound answers. Don't be put off by imagining you will find all manner of horrors. On the contrary you will find you are a richer, stronger personality than you could have imagined. Your unlived emotions tend to put extra strain on your body, so be good to yourself physically by reaching for a deeper self-understanding.
CANCER: Sagittarius is your area for work and health. You will be facing a dilemma about how to regenerate your career, improve your working conditions and build up your general health. The likelihood with Pluto in place is that you will be meeting resistance in your efforts, but don't let that put you off. Pluto can produce solidly substantial results, but it usually takes a struggle and strong determination. Don't meet unco-operative workmates head on in a stalemate battle. Duck and dive a little. Aim for influence, not outright control. Realise also you have to let go certain old ambitions which have lost their fire. Physically you need to pay better attention to your body's needs, get even minor ailments fixed, and then you will sail ahead in robust form.
LEO: Love may be on your mind, but it may not be what you are attracting. This eclipse will make you aware of where you are not getting the affection, admiration and adoration you want from loved ones, children or even social mates. Tricky, I know, to be exuberant and utterly seductive with the wet-blanket Saturn-Pluto around. But this is your challenge. You need to allow your personality to shine brightly, to step out without apology or doubt, to be where you feel fulfilled which is centre stage. Two thoughts: one is that what you lack, you must first give. Have you been too meagre in handing out kisses, cuddles and compliments? Go to it. The second is that Pluto tends to make you clutch if you feel you are not getting attention. Let go. If you cage loved ones in, they will struggle to break free.
AQUARIUS: Always known as the humanitarian sign, this could be your chance to make a real difference to the society or world in which you live. Certainly you know you need to widen your circle of friends and acquaintances in the months, if not years to come, but don't keep stick to a frivolous, exclusively social agenda. You could join hands with influential movers and shakers to have a powerful influence on what is going on around you. You also know you need to nudge yourself into setting long term goals. Don't just think five year plan, think 20 year plan. It doesn't have to be set in concrete, you can adapt as you go along, but you will be better with a broad strategy and well defined goals.
ARIES: Travel, communication, improving your mind – all of these are sparked off by this eclipse, which is generally prompting you to broaden your horizons in whichever you can. Set your sights higher. Let your imagination soar. Think big, don't get bogged down in trivia. Saturn Pluto is hardly an exciting or inspirational overlay, but nonetheless this is your challenge. You need to spread your ideas to a wider audience, find more intellectual stimulation and see where you can get yourself out of a rut.
LIBRA: Sorting out your everyday schedule may not sound like a bundle of fun, but if you don't get a grip of minutiae, details and organization, then your life will lack a solid, realistic base. Think about how you communicate. Are you being misunderstood at work? Collect your thoughts first, speak simply and then double check to make sure your message got across. It may not be the content that's at fault, more the delivery.Start each day with a checklist and you won't race round in circles getting in a muddle. Think small for a few months, then you will fly the higher come next May.

In the typical state, 22 percent of people in working families suffer from economic hardship because their earnings and income from other sources, including public work supports and other public benefits, fall below the basic needs budget standard for where they live. By comparison, only 12.6 percent of Americans live below the federal poverty line.The report, “Working Families and Economic Insecurity in the States: The Role of Job Quality and Work Supports,” synthesizes previous CEPR research using a new approach for measuring economic insecurity that addresses the major limitations of the poverty line and analyzes the state of economically insecure families across 45 states and the District of Columbia. To determine how much income a working family needs to "make ends meet", the authors of the report use basic family budgets that take into account the actual costs of goods and services needed to have a decent standard of living, as well as the variations in these costs, depending on where one lives.The researchers also examined the role of public work supports- programs such as child care assistance, the Earned Income Tax Credit, food stamps, health insurance provided through Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program, housing assistance, and income supplements provided through Temporary Assistance- in helping families achieve economic security.“When measuring poverty, the government and most researchers do not take into account most public work supports,” said report co-author Rebecca Ray. “By contrast, when we determine whether a family is able to make ends meet, we take into account the value of all of these benefits.”The report also shows that most economically insecure workers have jobs that pay low wages and provide few or no benefits or “bad Jobs”. Only a minority of jobs nation-wide are “good jobs”, in other words, ones that pay at least $17 an hour and provide health and retirement benefits.“Public work supports play an important and largely unheralded role in promoting economic security and opportunity for working families,” said Shawn Fremstad, co-author of the report and Director of Bridging the Gaps, a CEPR initiative. “In the typical state, work supports close more than half of the hardship gap—the gap between a working family’s income and the basic family budget for where they live”.The authors of the study point out, however, that substantial numbers of workers in low-paid jobs receive only modest or no help from work support programs.According to the report, which uses data from the 2001-2003 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP)
and the basic family budgets
developed by the Economic Policy Institute, the monthly income of the typical economically insecure family varies from $12,775 a year in Arkansas to $25,047 a year in New Hampshire. The findings of the report also point to a correlation between the number of good or bad jobs and economic security on a state-by-state basis. The full report can be found here (PDF).###The Center for Economic and Policy Research is an independent, nonpartisan think tank that was established to promote democratic debate on the most important economic and social issues that affect people's lives. CEPR's Advisory Board of Economists includes Nobel Laureate economists Robert Solow and Joseph Stiglitz; Richard Freeman, Professor of Economics at Harvard University; and Eileen Appelbaum, Professor and Director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University

Huddersfield Giants Match Reports
Wigan Warriors v Huddersfield Giants: Examiner pre-season match report
by Chris Roberts, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
Jan 20 2012
NATHAN BROWN said straight after the pre-season defeat at Castleford a week ago that his side needed to put in a lot of hard work before next month’s start of the Super League XVII season.
But judging by last night’s effort against a youthful Wigan at the DW Stadium for Warriors captain Sean O’Loughlin’s testimonial game, there’s probably even more work required than anyone realised!
Yes, the Giants may have won the game 30-18, but that merely papered over some very obvious cracks.
For large parts of this trial contest the Giants looked disjointed on attack and unsure on defence, which must have been a real worry for Brown and his coaching staff, particularly with the League opener at Wigan just around the corner on Sunday, February 5.
And that was despite the Galpharm chief making limited changes to the side that took to the field for the 32-22 defeat at the Tigers.
The only switch in the backs was at centre, with Lee Gilmour taking over from Joe Wardle, who picked up a hip injury in last week’s clash.
In the pack, Dale Ferguson marked his first game of the year following shoulder surgery by moving up from second row to prop.
Another key switch was new signing Tommy Lee shifting from hooker to loose-forward.
Yet while the Giants fielded their strongest available squad, the Warriors sent a largely inexperienced line-up into battle, with just a handful of players with an impressive Super League CV.
Unfortunately, that hardly showed in the opening exchanges as – just like at Castleford – Huddersfield made a shaky start.
On Wigan’s first attack after three minutes they took the lead through their new Australian centre Anthony Gelling, and the scene had been set for a far from encouraging opening 40 minutes.
Although the visitors nudged 6-4 ahead after 12 minutes when Danny Brough followed up his own bomb and then added the conversion, they continued to look unconvincing.
With errors aplenty, the youthful Warriors were only too pleased to take full advantage, crossing for further tries through Gareth Hock and John O’Donnell to make it 12-6 after 28 minutes.
Thank goodness Jack Murphy was off target with his three touchline conversion attempts!

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

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

Underground Utility Lines
August 4, 2008
By jeffcheney 1 Comment
Â
There has been a great deal of discussion the last few weeks about theabove ground utility lines along Eldorado.  Shelly Slater, Channel 8 News, even covered the issue in her news report. See the story HERE Â
This item will be discussed this Tuesdy, August 5th, at our City Council meeting. The staff report we were provided is attached below:
   Â
        Office of the City Manager
Re:    Utility Undergrounding – Background and Issue Paper
 While the construction of utility poles in and along the Eldorado (between the Dallas North Tollway and FM423) corridor have prompted a great deal of discussion and debate, it is important to note that this issue has been one with which cities have struggled for some time. As you will see below, Frisco, as well as other cities, have been attempting to regulate this issue for some time. However, we all continue to be hampered by the decisions of the Public Utility Commission and the courts of the state of Texas. This paper attempts to provide some historical perspective on this overall issue and also highlight for you some specifics on related cost projections.
NOTE: Please note that the only cost numbers contained in this report that are confirmed at this point is the cost of burying the Coserv lines along Eldorado. Other numbers are calculated based on the data at hand at the time of completing this report. However, such additional cost projections are fairly conservative based on prevailing market data.
Historical Perspective of the Undergrounding Issue:
The section attempts to provide you with a high level historical perspective of some of the events that have impacted decisions related to the undergrounding of utilities.
The City of Frisco has been attempting to regulate the undergrounding of utilities for a number of years. There have been provisions contained in the Subdivision Regulations for a number of years regarding this matter, some of which have had to be removed due to court cases related to this issue. The City also passed an Underground Utility ordinance a couple of years ago to deal with utility lines along thoroughfares. However, if the city says the developer must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of that burial has to be paid by the developer then the developer will argue they are carrying a disproportionate amount of the cost and/or that the city does not have a valid governmental interest in having the lines buried. And if the city says the utility must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of burial has to be paid by the utility then the utility will argue that the cost of burial would have to be passed along to the rate payer thus violating their rate tariff set by the PUC (Oncor) or simply violates their Board adopted rate structure (Coserv). In summary, these recent court cases prevent the city from being able to require the burial of lines unless the city (the tax payer) pays the costs. A quick cost analysis of the impact the Eldorado issue, as well as the overall issue, could have is provided in the next section.
 Cost Analysis:
This section provides a high level review of the estimated cost to address the undergrounding issue. It examines the cost from a neutral perspective of who may have to pay these costs but then also provides an analysis of how that cost, if transferred to the City might impact the tax rate.
Cost Estimate Example –Â
Edlorado Parkway:
Approximately $5,500,000 to bury Coserv lines on both sides of Eldorado Parkway (estimate provided by Coserv Electric, see Attachment #1)
$5,500,000 ÷ 4.6 miles (approx. 2.3 mi. of right-of-way per side) = ~$1,195,562 per mile
(This calculation is the estimate to bury the Eldorado Coserv line only and does NOT include the cost of a private easement, boring or burial cost of any additional utilities such as cable. Also, this assumes the cost for the entire length of this section of roadway thus any reduction in length drives up the cost per mile estimate.)
 Potential Additional Costs:
These estimates are based on general market knowledge and could be higher or lower. However, a very conservative approach was taken to completing these estimates.
Item/Service            Assumptions                Estimated Cost
Private Easement        15′ easement @ $10sf        $1,584,000
Sidewalk\Landscape\
Screening Replacement    1 mile of replacement        $700,000       Â
Cable and\or Telco Burial 15% of Coserv            $825,000
Boring                                    $Unknown .
Total  $3,109,000
If these additional costs were realized the project cost would total approximately $8,609,000.
Funding –
City – If the City of Frisco were to assume the cost of burying the Edlorado Coserv line only ($5,500,000), there would need to be an adjustment to the tax rate to cover such cost. Below is an approximation of what that adjustment would need to look like:
¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672, therefore, it would take a ¢.043 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Below is provided an approximation of what a tax rate adjustment would look like if the City of Frisco were to assume all of the projected cost above $8,609,000:
¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672 therefore, it would take a ¢.068 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Underground Utility Fees – Why not pay for this from the fees that have already been collected from the Underground Utility Fee Ordinance? First, we only have a total of $368,834.00 in the account meaning there is nowhere near enough to complete the project in question – Eldorado. Second, the majority of the funds we do have are in other “Utility Zones” defined in the Ordinance which means the majority of the funds are not eligible to be spent on the Eldorado project because they were collected in other “Zones.” Third, and most importantly, these funds will more than likely have to be returned to those who paid them due to the enforcement issues with the ordinance outlined in the “Historical Perspective” section above.
Tariff Change – Oncor has the ability to enter into agreements with cities to pay for undergrounding facilities. These agreements, on a project by project basis, spread the cost of the project across all rate payers in the city. However, there are a number of issues with this process that make it a very risky proposition. Not the least of which is the fact that an agreement can be entered into by the city to bury an Oncor line only to have Coserv come right down the same easement with an overhead line. This problem is identified in item #2 below and has already hit the City of Allen. Also, Coserv which is the provider along Eldorado has no such program available.
Problems that will continue after funding determination has been made (these apply to all such easements not just Eldorado) –
This section outlines some of the problems that would continue even after a funding determination is made related to the Eldorado Parkway utility matter.
The above cost estimate from Coserv does NOT include burying other utilities currently on the overhead lines such as cable and\or telephone.
No matter the funding source, once a line is buried this action does not prevent another utility provider from coming right down the same easement and putting up overhead lines where the previous lines would just have been buried. This problem exists unless of course the City (the tax payers) pays AGAIN to have the new lines buried. By way of example, if the Coserv lines along Eldorado are buried by the City, then if Coserv wants to upgrade those lines in the future via overhead lines or if another utility provider wants to go in the same location with overhead lines they would have the right to do so unless the City paid to bury them a second time.
If Eldorado lines are buried at tax payer expense then what is the next line to be buried, at what cost and do you continue to raises taxes to bury lines? If it cost $5.5 million to bury only (2.3 miles x 2 =) 4.6 miles of line and the city has roughly 77 miles of thoroughfares and if the cost is similar to the line on Eldorado Parkway as outlined above that would equate to approximately $92,058,274 for one side of each thoroughfare. For both sides that would be approximately $184,116,548. Again, none of these numbers account for the “additional costs”, as outlined above, that may come into play.
Neighboring City’s Experiences:
Allen -
Stated that Allen “recently paid to have Oncor put in underground lines along Stacy Road only to have CoServ put up overhead lines along the same section of roadway.” Stated that there really is “no solution to the problem due to the above [problem] and due to when the line needs to be expanded, the city is faced with the choice again of paying or having the line constructed overhead.”
They went on to say that if we find the “silver bullet” to be sure to let them know.
Plano –
“Our subdivision ordinance limits the placement of above ground utilities to major thoroughfares (same as Frisco). Subdivisions are occasionally built along a major thoroughfare without power lines, only to have them installed later.” “Sometimes homeowners complain, but eventually they come to understand that the utility company has the right.”
Little Elm –
“We are having identical issues.” Co-Serv has discussed a “secondary feed” needed down to the end of the LE peninsula and that the only way to get there is a parallel line along the south side of Eldorado Parkway (existing overhead is on the north side). “CoServ, and for that matter every other electric utility, takes the position that if you want it under ground, the city is expected to pay 100% of the cost.”
Coserv Questions and Response Concerning Eldorado and Undergrounding in General:
Questions –
(1) Would CoServ consider adding an additional charge to its customers in Frisco to pay to place its lines along major thoroughfares underground?
(2) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you need from the city of Frisco to institute such a charge?
(3) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you believe the monthly cost would be per customer?
Response –
“CoServ has been approached by other cities we serve and asked similar questions. Our response thus far has been “no”, because…
* The cost of underground construction is 3 to 5 times the cost of overhead construction and we have experienced recent dramatic increases in the cost of labor and materials. We’re seeing some underground construction costs in excess of $1 million per mile.
* There are tremendous logistical challenges with converting overhead to underground, not the least of which is cable and communications attachments, adequate underground easements, scheduling, etc. All of these can be managed, but not easily.
* At the point we agree with one municipal entity, we should expect to do it with all of them.
CoServ is willing to sit down with you and/or your designated city representatives and try to plan conversion of overhead to underground facilities. Because of road widening, or other road construction issues, we are frequently confronted with this question. We’d prefer to plan these changes without imposing fees/charges to our members. The issue of fees/charges, as you know, is ultimately a question CoServ’s elected board of directors must address. My understanding of their direction for me is to find ways to convert without raising rates.”
Summary:
The bottom line is that the cost of burying utility line is very high and the available solutions are fraught with problems of their own. Additionally, the actions of the PUC and our Texas courts have further exacerbated the problems. On one hand, cities are being told they do not have the authority to regulate this infrastructure forcing it to be underground and on the other hand even if cities fund the undergrounding there is no guarantee that the buried facilities will remain underground thus wasting taxpayers’ dollars.

Scorecard | Analysis | Images Australia stormed into the World Cup semi-finals on Friday as Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee swept Sri Lanka regally aside on Friday.Ponting hammered his 12th one-day century to set the tone during Australia's 319 for five in their opening Super Six match.Strike bowler Lee then laid waste to the Sri Lankan top order, sending Sanath Jayasuriya to hospital in the process as the world champions won by 96 runs.Sri Lanka at least ended the day with two consolations, Aravinda de Silva hitting a defiant 94-ball 92 while Jayasuriya's x-rays revealed bad bruising and a chipped thumb bone rather than the suspected broken forearm. Sri Lanka ended on 223 off 47.4 overs.But Australia's victory, their 13th one-day success in a row and against the 1996 champions, confirmed their all-encompassing dominance in the tournament.They had reached the second round with a maximum 12 points after the first round and now, with 16 points, are guaranteed a place in the last four. At least two teams -- Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe -- cannot match that points total.Earlier Adam Gilchrist had set Australia on their way with an 88-ball 99 before becoming the 13th player in one-day internationals to fall one short of a century.Australia scored at six an over throughout their innings, completely dominating their opponents quicks and spinners.Sri Lanka, however, did not help themselves.Wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara somehow missed the wicket trying to stump Ponting on 16, then missed the stumps again with his gloves after catching a throw with Ponting, on 35, short of his ground.Sri Lanka were forced to try seven bowlers by the 25th over.Ponting lofted Muralitharan for six over long on, then reached his hundred in the 43rd over off 96 deliveries.In reply, Jayasuriya was hit after making a single from five balls and the reply soon unravelled.Marvan Atapattu had the audacity to hit two boundaries off Lee in the 10th over but was then caught and bowled low down for 16 to make it 42 for one and Mahela Jayawardene was then caught for a three-ball duck while Hashan Tillakaratne was bowled by Glenn McGrath and Arnold, on one, fell lbw to Lee

Schools awarded technology grants
Chester among 22 schools to earn stimulus funding
CHESTER — Chester Academy is among 22 school districts have been awarded grants of approximately $145,000 each from the federal Enhancing Education Through Technology Program (NCLB Title II-D) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
A total of $3.2 million in federal funds has been allocated to New Hampshire schools to develop technology rich learning environments as part of the state's 21st Century Classrooms Initiative.
These classrooms will be well equipped with computer hardware, software, electronic presentation systems, and rich digital and online curricular resources.
Students in these classrooms will be highly engaged in interactive learning and higher level thinking skills, whether learning math,
science, reading, or history. The use of digital cameras, interactive white boards, robust courseware, digital content, computers, and mobile learning tools will provide students with opportunities to collaborate and connect to rich and relevant content. Investment in core components for technology, collaborative planning, enthusiastic and well-informed leadership, intensive professional development, and IT support are some of the key elements necessary to transform these schools into 21st century classrooms.
In addition to Chester, other districts receiving the ARRA funding include: Alton, Bartlett, SAU 6 (including Claremont & Unity), Laconia, Lafayette Regional, Manchester, Milton, Nashua, Oyster River, SAU 53, (including Allenstown, Deerfield, Epsom, Pembroke), Pittsfield, Portsmouth, Profile, Raymond, Somersworth

SPRING GAME: 5 Things to Watch

Glorified scrimmage? You bet. An opportunity for little-used walk-ons to get their 15 seconds of of fame in a relatively-full Memorial Stadium? That, too.
It won't be flashy. It won't be revealing schematically. But that doesn't mean Nebraska's Red/White Spring Game is bereft of stories. Coaches absolutely want to accomplish something in the three hours they're prowling around Tom Osborne Field looking for players to praise and critique.
Five things to watch for as Huskers put on their spring show and prepare for their inaugural Big Ten season:
Trench skirmishes: Defensive coordinator Carl Pelini and defensive line coach John Papuchis haven't sweated too much the absence of end Cameron Meredith and tackle Jared Crick for spring camp. Why? They like the talent and depth behind those two. Along with returning starter Baker Steinkuhler, Thad Randle's made a move to the No. 1s this spring. Eric Martin, by all reports, is wreaking havoc as an undersized defensive end. Chase Rome and Jay Guy have flashed some potential to play next year at tackle. Terrence Moore is working his way back into shape after he suffered an injury in the Holiday Bowl, but he'd start at many Big Ten programs. True freshman Kevin Williams missed a week of spring camp with a foot injury, but he returned Wednesday. Could he get a play or two Saturday?
The offensive line, meanwhile, is in transition. Position coaches Barney Cotton and John Garrison emphasized physicality and effort with a young, unproven bunch whose forebearers were manhandled at the end of 2010. Starting tackle Jeremiah Sirles missed spring, too – but his loss is felt more acutely than Meredith and Crick's absence. Young pups
Tyler Moore (a true freshman) and Jake Cotton (redshirt freshman) made strong moves this spring up the depth chart.
So what happens when factions of these units match up against each other? The defensive line should have the edge. But watch guards Andrew Rodriguez and Brent Qvale closely. They're supposed to be the starters next year. Can they hold their own against guys like Randle, Moore and Steinkuhler? Also: Can the young pups – or Marcel Jones and Yoshi Hardrick – block Martin?
Tempo: Nebraska won't reveal many of its offensive wrinkles – or, as wide receiver Brandon Kinnie called it, “hoo ha” -
that it installed over the last week. No stunner. But there's a good chance you'll see the Huskers' new no-huddle tempo. It's been around long enough in college football not to be considered secret or revolutionary. NU wouldn't want to waste the opportunity, either, to see how its quarterbacks handle play calls and game management in front of a large crowd.
So what to watch? First, see how the offensive line is handling the speed of the game. They have to be in terrific shape for a no-huddle to be truly effective. Second, watch for which quarterback best embodies the “quick, but not in a hurry” manner that you need to run the no-huddle effectively. The worst thing a quarterback can do is waste a down because he rushed his pre-snap setup and reads. Third, look at the passes thrown out of this tempo. While they'll be vanilla in design, fans should still get a decent flavor for how a rhythm-based passing game relies on timing and placement of throws.
Playmakers: Reporters and fans have heard nothing but praise for receivers Jamal Turner, Kenny Bell and Stanley Jean-Baptiste and their playmaking skills. Last year, NU lacked a “something out of nothing” threat at wide receiver, a guy who could turn a two-yard swing pass into a 25-yard gain. Outside of a few big plays to tight end Kyler Reed, Nebraska also lacked a consistent deep threat.
Senior Brandon Kinnie is a solid anchor on the field side, a tough-minded, possession receiver who should be the go-to guy near the goal line. But when defenses roll a two-man “bracket” coverage his way, or force his routes back toward traffic – as Oklahoma did in the Big 12 Championship – somebody on the other side has to make the defense pay. And Niles Paul isn't over there anymore. A big play or two out of the above trio would be a confidence boost heading into the summer.
Carnes vs. Green: With quarterback Taylor Martinez getting limited action in the Spring Game because of lingering ankle and toe injuries – those need to heal up over the summer, as reports out of practice suggested Martinez still wasn't quite “right” - and Kody Spano out too, Saturday boils down to an intriguing battle between junior Cody Green and redshirt freshman Brion Carnes. Last Saturday, Carnes had his best scrimmage yet, while Green has turned some heads in camp with improved passing mechanics. How do they perform with a crowd watching?
Green had a perfunctory-at-best Spring Game last year, as his attempt to snatch the job from Zac Lee passed by the boards. What about this year? As much as coaches want to play down the Spring Game, Green can make a statement with a strong performance.
Carnes has the tools – he just needs the polish. Watch his passing motion for efficiency and enjoy his playmaking abilities outside of the pocket. Odds are he does one thing Saturday that neither Green or Martinez don't do well: Throw on the run.
Hustle and Flow: More than ever in the Bo Pelini era, Nebraska's defense will need its linebackers to do many of things linebackers traditionally do. Fit the interior the run. Man up against a lead blocker or a pulling guard. Take a smart drop on a tight end bolting up the seam and make a play downfield.
Although the Huskers have generally hung their hat on an elite front four and even more dominant secondary, Bo and Carl's defense is actually designed to free up the linebackers – that is, LaVonte David, Sean Fisher and Will Compton – to make most of the plays.
While all three probably won't play together Saturday, watch for their chemistry when two of them are out there. How do they communicate? How do they flow to the ball on running plays? Big Ten teams like Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio State force defenses to stay really sound in how they fill gaps and cover all bases. When there's a “break” in the fit, power running teams have a field day on it.
Nebraska's defense is considerably ahead of the offense. In playmakers. In grasp of scheme. Probably in confidence, too. But watch for those little things anyway. How do Compton and David

70 Percent of Australia Post’s Parcels from Online Shopping
Australia is experiencing consisten growth in online shopping sales as evidenced by the growth in freight from online shopping. According to Australia Posts comments in an article in the Courier mail volumes are increasing by 5-10% pa.
Extract from the article”
Queensland parcel operations manager Seth Grantley said 70 percent of Australia Post’s parcel business was generated from online shopping.
“And this area is continuing to grow as customers increasingly go online to do their shopping,” he said.
“In the Brisbane area, parcel volumes increased by 5 percent over the past 12 months.”
Mr Grantley said parcels were a major part of Australia Post’s future success, and a key platform of its business transformation strategy.
“Online purchasing in Australia is forecast to grow from around $27 billion last year, to almost $37 billion by 2013,” he said.
Slacks Creek’s Ali Norrie believes online shopping is the best way to save money.
“I have been shopping online since I can remember, probably since I got my first job in 2004,” she said.
“It was the price that attracted me to online shopping, items were always cheaper than in store and now it’s more about getting things I can’t find in store. Especially outfits, I can get something not many people have.”
Miss Norrie said she used eBay for purchasing make-up from America, cheaper than local stores.
“Usually for shoes and clothes I shop around on different (web)sites in America,” she said. “I haven’t had a problem with sizes, sometimes I take a stab in the dark and if it doesn’t fit, I can give it to someone else.” The 24-year-old accounts assistant said if products were cheaper in stores, she would shop in retail outlets.
“If items were available locally and at the same price, I would shop there, but I don’t feel bad about saving money,” she said.”

Retailers Employ cheap Spys
Retailers can now recruit members of the public to spy on their store presentation with an iphone app called field agent. Users of the application can already paying shoppers to provide retailers with in-store intelligence such as competitor pricing or staff performance. Its also a marketing tool as its bringing the field agent into the store to complete a simple task.
Some retailers have already reported success and users say they use its GPS system to find quick jobs in their area when they are out and about.
What is Field Agent?
It’s an app that begins with a Client (who needs information) creating a job requesting specific information via the www.fieldagent.net website. Field Agent then reviews and broadcasts a request to Agents, (iPhone users in the field) who have installed the Field Agent App. Agents use their iPhones to collect and return information and get paid for the service.
Payments can range from $3 to $8, depending on the job’s degree of difficulty.“Now more than ever, companies are looking for ways to efficiently gain field intelligence on products and services,” said Kelly Miller, Co-Founder of Field Agent. “In an economy where unemployment is near record levels, it’s rewarding to be part of an idea that can create income for thousands of people.
Most jobs are in everyday locations where Agents live. Information requested by Clients might include: retail pricing and display information, event images, photos of items for sale and consumer surveys that can be completed anywhere an iPhone can be used.
Field Agent uses the built-in tools of the iPhone to provide accurate and relevant information that is transmitted back to Clients. Agent history, GPS location, time and date stamps and photo confirmations are all ways to ensure data is returned to Clients accurately with verification.
What’s more, Clients and Agents will help us refine the many uses we’ve not even thought of, said Miller. “We see a lot of potential with this app, where Clients will help us identify new solutions where Field Agents can play a key role in delivering data”.
According to Miller Field Agent is designed to have thousands of Agents ready to gather information and offer feedback on products and services at a moment’s notice. That is a powerful business tool!
”Field Agent is a joint venture between Mill Creek Software and North Star Partnering Group, based in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Agents should visit the Apple App Store

Eight Celebrities Who Felt The Need To Attempt A Music Career Posted by Brother Boomerang02/20/2009 10:38 AM
Once people get a little taste of fame, it’s hard to pass up. Whether it’s for a stellar acting career or scandalous political prostitution affair, the famous (or infamous) get used to the attention. One way to get more press is to branch off into other areas of celebritydom… such as starting a music career.
However, not everyone should be a m...MORE »
Five Video Game Franchises That Took a Wrong Turn Recently and Have Yet to Recover Posted by Brother Fincher02/10/2009 11:00 AM
Let's face it: no matter how great a video game series is, there's usually going to be a dark stain amongst its otherwise glistening record. I mean, even Mario has appeared in a typing tutor and a Dance Dance Revolution game. Luckily though, most of these franchises move past these bad projects to continue producing the sorts of games we love. B...MORE »
Celebrity Blogs: The Publicists of the 21st Century Posted by AnaMo12/26/2008 11:20 AM
Celebrities might not be very bright, but they’re all quickly realizing that it’s a waste of money to pay publicists to maintain their image when they can do it themselves for free on MySpace.
So when pictures of Khloe Kardashian wearing fur emerged right after her PETA ad debuted, she took to her blog to explain that she did once wear fur but...MORE »

Do This Stuff Before You're Dead like Gene Upshaw Posted by The Candle08/21/2008 09:51 AM
When it comes to video games, sudden death can be pretty thrilling. When it comes to people, not so much.

So, to be perfectly morbid, here’s a list of things to do now— since who knows if you’ll be around in forty-five minutes.

Though we may not see them around the quad or running for student council, these high profile stars are remarkably similar to the typical college student, just without the loans and whatnot.

Thanks for another great lesson. I wonder if there is a difference between “muftah” as shown in the vocab list and “miftah”.
I only know the latter version with kasrah for “keys”.
Mounia says:
Saturday at 4:40 am
That’s a good point Anitagomez. The difference is regional. The word for “key” in Standard Arabic is indeed “miftaaH” (مِفْتاح) with a kasra as you mentioned. However, in some countries in the Middle East, people pronounce it “muftaaH” when they speak.

I’ve noticed that in the female “you” form, sometimes the word is transcribed with an “a” sound at the end but is pronounced without it, or vice versa. For example, in today’s lesson, there was the word “tadhhabiina” but I didn’t hear the “a” sound at the end of it. How do I know when to pronounce the “a” sound and when not to?
Thanks!
Mounia says:
Monday at 8:55 pm
Hi Kelly,
That’s a really good question. Sorry for the late reply.
In the feminine “you” form (أنْتِ), verbs end with a fatHa, or the sound “a.” For example: “you go”, ‘anti tadhhabiina (أنْتِ تَذهَبينَ),
or “you do”, ‘anti turiidina (أنتِ تُريدينَ).
Usually, when the verbs are followed by another word, then we pronounce the grammatical ending “a.” Otherwise, it’s optional and some native speakers choose not to pronounce the “a” sound when the phrase ends with the verb. It sounds more natural.
For example: ‘anti tadhhabiina ‘ilaa al-madrasa (you go to school) but I can say
‘’ ‘ayna tadhhabiin?” (where do you go?)
Or,” ‘anti turiidiina qahwa” (you want coffee). But I can say, “madhaa turiidiin?” (What do you want?)
Note that in all cases, the Haraka “a” is present but we tend to pronounce it more when verbs are in the middle of a sentence.

7. Classes and Scheduling
7.1 Speaking Classes- Where the following courses are available, Licensees who subscribe to the premium course offering will enjoy one-on-one teacher practice sessions with a Licensor teacher. In all instances where classes are available, the following rules under this section will apply. Licensor makes no guarantee or warranty of the availability or offering of speaking classes.
7.2 Speaking Class Rescheduling- Licensor teachers try to accommodate schedule changes to the best of their ability. But changes to one student's time is highly likely to impact other Licensee’s schedule. Therefore, Licensees should notify their teachers 24 hours in advance if they are unable to attend their next class. Otherwise, the missing class will be considered an unexcused absence and Licensor is not obligated to provide a make-up class.
Depending on the student's speaking class package, please note the following rescheduling limits:
1, 3 or 6-month subscription: 1 class rescheduling per month
12 or 24 month subscription: 2 class reschedulings per month
Licensor is not obligated to provide make-up classes exceeding the above limits.
7.3 Speaking Class Extension- To provide flexibility to Licensees, Licensor allows an additional make-up period for speaking classes.
Classes during the make-up period must be claimed within the following timeframe:
1-month speaking class: 3 weeks
3-month speaking class: 4 weeks
6-month speaking class: 6 weeks
12-month speaking class: 8 weeks
24-month speaking class: 12 weeks
Licensor does not provide extension to speaking classes beyond the above time frame (excluding holidays, teachers' annual leave and Licensees' special circumstances). Licensor does not provide extension to any subscription products beyond the expiry date whether used alone or with speaking classes. Make-up classes must be claimed according to the schedule confirmed by the Customer Care Representative, student and teacher. Licensor is not obligated to reschedule classes outside of the agreed upon time or preserve the same teacher for make-up classes. Scheduled classes that fall on teacher's leave or a holiday will be made up during the make-up period. In the event a National Holiday or teacher's leave is longer than the make-up period, then Licensor will extend the make-up period to reflect the number of days missed.
7.4 Speaking Class Suspension- In extreme cases that result in the student requesting leave that extends beyond the make-up period, Licensees must apply for account suspension with Licensor's Customer Care Representative. Licensees are entitled to one account suspension per year exceeding no more than 1/3 of the total length of the speaking classes. Licensor reserves the right to decide the length of suspension if it exceeds the aforementioned timeframe. Licensor does not provide suspensions to any subscription products whether used alone or with speaking classes. Licensor reserves the right to suspend all future classes to be made-up at a later date. Licensor cannot guarantee that the student will continue with the same teacher upon resuming lessons. Licensor cannot guarantee that the student will continue the same class schedule. It is the student's responsibility to notify Licensor when he/she is ready to resume the course. Licensor reserves the right to determine the first day of class upon resuming the course. Suspensions are limited to 3, 6, 12, and 24-month study plans.
7.5 Office Hours - If Licensee subscribes to a premium plus account, Licensee will be eligble to participate in a one hour group help session via Skype. Licensee will be able to text chat with the available Licensor teacher during the session. Licensor will provide two group help sessions per week.
7.6 Electronic Mail Correspondence - If Licensee subscribes to a premium plus account, Licensor will provide email correspondence support to Licensee. The Licensor teacher will email Licensee and wait for Licensee’s response. Licensor teacher will respond to any email from Licensee within one business day. Interaction between the Licensee and Licensor teacher is heavily weighted towards the proactiveness of the Licensee.
7.7 Teacher Changes- In the event that a class is missed due to a change in teacher, Licensor will extend the make-up period to reflect the number of purchased classes. Classes during this make-up period will be rescheduled according to the schedule confirmed by the Customer Care Representative, student, and teacher. Licensor is not obligated to reschedule classes outside of this agreed upon time. In the event that a teacher misses a class, Licensor will extend the make-up period to reflect the number of missed classes. Classes during this make-up period will be rescheduled according to the schedule confirmed by the Customer Care Representative, student, and teacher. Licensor is not obligated to reschedule classes outside of this agreed upon time.
7.8 Transferring Classes- Speaking classes are limited to one student per account. Licensor cannot allocate any of your purchased classes to other users.
7.9 Contact Responsibilities- An email to schedule class will be sent to the student by the Customer Care Representative after we receive your payment. It's the student's sole responsibility to reply to our emails to schedule classes. Once or twice-weekly Speaking Class users who fail to reply to us within one month will be allowed one make-up class for each month missed. Users who fail to reply to us within one month will be allowed two make-up classes for each month missed. Licensees who have started their classes but stop attending without notifying teachers and Customer Care Representative will not be entitled to make-up classes.
7.10 Licensor Liabilities- In the event that Licensor is responsible for the cancellation of any speaking classes, a Customer Care Representative will reschedule the lesson and (where appropriate) replace the teacher as soon as possible, within one month. Licensor will compensate the user by extending his or her subscription, calculated on an individual basis.
8. Termination

Post credit crisis CIOs will not be totally focused on cost reduction, but instead looking to use technology to add value to the organisation. In the same month that saw the announcement that the next CEO of retailer Tesco will be its CIO; a study by KPMG finds that CIOs are looking beyond the recession to really drive the business forward through technology use, just as Tesco did.

ABC music mashup shows off the Semantic Web
Until recently, the idea of a World Wide Web in which information and services are defined - the Semantic Web - has remained something developers aspire to rather than a reality. That is starting to change. Earlier this year, the ABC launched three new socially networked digital radio websites which aggregate content from several different sources, including MusicBrainz, YouTube, Last.fm and Wikipedia. It is not only a new approach for a content-rich organisation such as the ABC, it is a working example of the possibilities of Semantic Web technology.

Planning Helps Data Centre Move Go Smoothly
It isn't often that you have access to your local neighborhood data centre, literally a few steps down the block. But I did. I live in a residential area of the US state of St. Louis called the Central West End, and I pass by the offices of the Regional Justice Information Service (REJIS) almost every day. When I learned that it was going to be moving its data centre, I knew that I had to be there for the actual move.

Acer Says It Has No Plans to Phase out Netbooks. Acer on Wednesday in a statement
said that it has no plans to phase out netbooks as it increases its focus on tablets.
The company also said that it does not foresee tablets based on Sandy Bridge processors,
contrary to comments made earlier this week by an Acer sales manager in Taiwan.
Lu Bing-hsian earlier this week told the IDG News Service that Acer would begin
selling new tablet PCs in the first half of this year as it gradually phases out
netbooks and that tablets would come with processors based on Intel's Sandy Bridge
microarchitecture. "For the moment it is not foreseen yet ... devices based
on Sandy Bridge," Acer said. Acer said the range of devices available to
users is expanding and that tablets "will find their space next to netbooks
and notebooks, without taking over." Acer in November announced new tablets
with 5-inch, 7-inch and 10-inch screens running on Google's Android operating system, which were also shown at the recent Consumer Electronics Show. The company
also showed a tablet with a 10-inch screen running Windows 7

Read more
Andrew Bunter, Materials Engineer (2009)
‘Choose a job based on what you're interested in, not on what you think you should be.
‘The auto industry is hardly the most stable sector around, and yet I chose to be here because I had a keen interest.
‘Now I'm loving it. I get paid to muck around with cars. I doubt if I'd chosen a job based on money I'd be as happy I am now—maybe close, but I'm sceptical about how long that would last.’

Kenneth Cheah
‘The culture was the most enjoyable part of my time in the department. It was a close-knit community with very much an open-door policy. The lecturers were easily accessible and always willing to discuss their research interests and answer questions.’
The department itself was something of a revelation, Ken says.
‘It was surprisingly not as rigidly structured as some of the traditional engineering courses,’ he says.
‘Due to the small groups, it allowed for extensive discussion and debate of different ideas.

Alexandra Shekhter
‘It was exactly as I expected, and more. I did PhD by research in the department and enjoyed every minute of it.’
Studying materials engineering at Monash was a life-changing experience for Dr Alexandra Shekhter (2003), a research scientist at the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
‘If I didn’t do a PhD in materials engineering, I doubt I would be in the job I am now,’ she says.
Read more
Katherine Dean

Read more
David Monk
‘Monash was a friendly environment to work in—the staff always had their doors open if you had questions or concerns. Having a student room for the final year developed a great team environment.’
For materials engineering graduate David Monk (1998), it was a case of moving from one close-knit group at Monash to another in the refining industry.
David is Senior Reliability Engineer at Mobil Refining Australia, in Altona, Victoria.

Michelle Katz
‘Now I know that materials engineering is in everyday life, such as design of planes, cars, computers etc. These are the examples that I use when I explain materials engineering to people who have no idea what it is.’
Originally Michelle was interested in chemical engineering, but she soon had second thoughts.
‘My interest switched to materials engineering, mainly because I felt that it was most similar to science, and I believed that I was better at science than engineering,’ she says.
Read more

Dont cry for me…
Search Radharcimages
Sorry, did you really think I was going to make it through an entire month in Argentina without one ‘Dont Cry for me’ quote. Well today it happened before we took the city bus tour. As we queued for the buenosairesbus.com tour the suntan cream was running into my eyes and one of my friends said ‘Dont Cry’ to which the reply was ‘for me Argentina’. Sad I know but there you go.
So I finally made it down into the centre of Buenos Aires. The city bus tour looked like a good option if I was going to try and avoid being mugged, robbed, beaten up, raped, shot, stabbed and dumped in a skip.
As Ive mentioned previously I had a whole shot list of photo ideas that I wanted to do but talking to my friends here in the current climate it would probably at best end up with me coming home several kilos of camera equipment lighter and at worst several kilos of body parts lighter.
Going round on the tour bus Im not saying that my friends were being overly cautious but based more on travelling between tourist areas than the tourist areas themselves.
The bus is one of those hop-on hop-off affairs and it takes about 3 and a half hours to do the circuit, we had all day and it was dull and overcast in the morning. Typical, the day I’m fit and well enough to go out and do a major photo session its the first real overcast day we’ve had. Of course the weather forecast for the rest of my stay in BA is thunderstorms so manana doesnt really quite cut it
So the plan was to be completely sad and stay on the bus for the first circuit and see if the weather improved. This involved no more effort than sticking the elbow out of the side of the bus and lying back. Of course sticking the elbow out of the side of the bus was precisely how I got a perfect triangle of peeling tan on my left elbow. by now of course this is now redder and deeper but thats another story.
The first thing I noticed about our newly arrived open top bus was that it wasnt open topped. There had been some rain the day before and people got wet and complained and tried to get their money back. The bus company had then put the bolt on rooves on. Great to stop you getting wet, rubbish if you want to sit at the top of the bus and look all around you. To those people who complained about getting wet in the rain on an open topped bus I can probably guess your nationality, but sure come to Belfast, our open top busses have a forcefield that deflects rain so you can see all around you in the worst weather. Just remember its pay in advance and absolutely no refunds and dont beleive everything you read on the internet.
So of course I managed to pick the wrong side of the bus, the row with no working headphones and even if they were the speakers behind me blasting out the spanish tour information would have drowned them out anyway. No-one thought to think that the high volume setting might need to come down a bit now theres a roof on.
But still very little to see in the dull grey light anyway and even less to photograph.
After about 3 or 4 stops of the hop on hop off tour no-one had hopped on or hopped off. I thought we were going to be the only saddos doing this but it turned out that the scare stories had indeed pervaded all of the visiting society who deemed it safer just to sit on this bright yellow bus. For those reading and if you are ever in the same situation, the left hand side of the bus is best, probably about 2 or 3 rows from the loudspeakers at the back. Judging by the number of tree branches crashing off the roof a crash helmet wouldnt be a bad idea, but definitely sunglasses. Thats todays health and safety announcement over.
I love watching people and I had a real treat on this trip, in front of me was a tourist couple, German, who sat over two rows of two seats, both at the window side one behind the other. For most of the trip they sat with their backpacks on the spare seats beside them. People would come up to the top deck to look for free seats and they both would ruffle about in their bag to take up as much space as possible. You rarely see such coordination outside of the synchronised swimming in the Olympics. The old man in front had a wee point and shoot camera with a big screen so it would be rude of me not to look at what he was shooting. All I can say is dirty old man. Every time we stopped he would use the high vantage point to zoom down on some really good looking tanned womans cleavage and take a photo. Im describing this in great detail for research purposes only. I dont know if his wife was aware, didnt know, didnt care whatever but firstly I thought what a sleaze, secondly I thought I really should have brought my point and shoot (to blend in and be safe you understand, not to look down womens cleavage). Anyway at one point in the tour outside Recoleta these two stunningly beautiful tall blonde women came up to the top of the bus and had a look round for seats (either German or Scandinavian or similar). The old guy couldnt lift his bag off the seat quick enough, Im sure he was verging on hernia territory he moved that quickly. But they took one look and moved down the bus. Following them up the stairs were two huge black guys and our hero couldnt get the bag down in time before one took up residence beside him. I must have seemed a right idiot laughing away to myself.
Driving round on the bus we got to see pretty much all the tourist sites and spots, in complete contrast to my previous experience, BA is a beautiful city, full of wide avenues, mixtures of old colonial buildings, modern architecture, european with a hint of not. The commercial area is pretty much the same as any commercial area in any big city in the world and down here it was the first I’d seen of multinationals and billboard type advertising. Again little to separate the place from most other world cities.
Its the quirky nature of some places, the old decaying buildings, the former rich family palaces who when they fell on hard times sold out to foreign governments so there is an area filled with some of the best looking embassies in the world.
Its not really a walk around city as a lot of it is very spread out (as the 3 and a half hour bus tour with only 12 stops) would tell you, but there are areas that it looked like it would be very safe to walk around. Its a strange mix, one of the locals told me theres no real middle class, just rich and poor and this certainly seems to be borne out travelling round. The bus tour mainly goes through rich areas but down around La Boca it goes through areas the police had told me not to walk through. Of course these are the areas with the friendliest people, waving and smiling at the people on the bus.
The weather was picking up as we finished our first circuit so we decided to stay on the bus and go round again and get off at Recoleta, famous for us primarily as the area containing the Recoleta cemetary and the tomb of Evita Peron. The bus stops outside the tourist office and theres a half hour wait before it continues so we chatted and I decided to get off the bus, get some photos of the nearby Plaza De Mayo before we set off. Of course the driver and guide had nicked off for a mate and a smoke so we were locked in, something they dont tell you so be warned
So at this point I have a confession to make, well not a confession of sorts but more an explanation of how we work. I love getting all the tourist literature from a place and going through all the photos and comparing whats in the brochures to whats actually there. For example, if I want to photograph a place in Ireland at dawn I would scout out the location, pick a good morning with relevant clouds, pick area, pick spot, get there well before dawn, get photos, come home, review etc etc. This might take 2 or 3 goes due to changing weather conditions, some moron has parked a white van in the wrong spot
or any multitude of things. So the finished images could have taken weeks of research and maybe a couple of years to get the right sort of conditions.
None of which you are going to see speeding past in a big yellow bus. You might but its highly doubtful. Its like the city tour, coming mid summer isnt going to be a good idea, going over midday isnt a good idea, certain buildings will look better in the morning, or evening or in the case of the Theatro Colon, in May when they take the scaffolding down! Im glad there isnt a trade descriptions act for tourism or Id be permanently in court.
‘Your honour, exhibit A, the Giants Causeway’
‘Your honour, exhibit B, what we saw, mist’
So bearing that in mind and taking a more realistic view of the descriptions of Recoleta cemetary I went forearmed.
I have to say though, it lived up to every single description. The cemetary is for the rich and famous of Argentina, its described as a city of the dead, with streets, walkways, ornate buildings. No-one is buried underground (at least that I could tell) and the whole place is a show of wealth and status, even when you are dead. Every word is true, Ive never seen the like of it before. Well organised and laid out, the equivalent of coffin multistoreys in some cases. Glass doors with small rooms with coffins neatly stacked and laid out. It seems strange for someone used to burying people in the ground or burning them to see them laid out in a small living room type environment. Some coffins hundreds of years old, in most cases perfectly preserved. In some tombs the marble has broken and bits of coffin sticking out here or there adds to the slightly eerie feeling when you find an avenue not populated by tourists. We spent time wandering around and avoided the headlong rush to Evitas tomb. One of my friends has a family burial plot there that they have never seen and we found it. A distant relative was a general in the army and judging by the size of the tomb was very well off indeed and very well thought of judging by the number of plaques.
Wandering back I just kept an eye out for a queue of tourists and sure enough found evitas tomb. In relative terms it is quite modest compared to some there but probably the most famous for non-Argentinians.
There is a busy market on the hill on the way up to the cemetary, something they dont show you in the tourist brochures of the walls
Its a place selling all sorts of tourist tat but notorious for pickpockets so watch out.
That pretty much sums up the bus tour of BA for me, lots of nice looking places but little in the way of real interest for me. I could have got on and off and did a lot more tourist shots of buildings rather than just drive bys but unlike other cities I do get bad vibes from acting the tourist here. Ideally Id like to take time over things hanging around waiting for decent or the ‘right’ light to photograph things, take pictures of local people doing local things and generally experiencing the life of the place but with a camera and lens worth more than most people make here in a year, the gulf in society, the massive and unpublished inflation and similarly underplayed unemployment figures I have to realise that I would like to go home in one piece. For me thats the saddest thing about being here, a beautiful city but I suspect there isnt much income from tourism to justify the extra spend making people feel safer. Travel forums are full of stories of tourists being victims of crime and yes the internet gives a voice to the dozen or so people affected, thats not to diminish their plights but there are perhaps thousands that nothing has happened to. Im not a normal tourist though, I carry a lot of expensive equipment, I have two cellphones with me, both of which have never left my room in the apartment. I have a ‘cheap’ swatch watch that has never been on my wrist since the airport, I cant wear half my travel clothes as they would signal me out as a target. Its something I feel stronger here, again perhaps my friends are being overcautious but as with the kidney stones incident it will be them left to pick up the pieces and I have to bow to their judgement, they are the people who live here and are on the ground day in day out.
There are some beautiful photos of Buenos Aires out there, Id come with loads of ideas of how to do them my way but sadly thats not going to be the case, Im sure things will improve here, just as probably things at home might worsen. A friend of mine travelled round the world 10 years ago and has some beautiful photos of places you would never consider travelling to today. Similarly places he couldnt go then have become must sees now.
Things will change, cruise ships regularly dock in Belfast now, something not considered just 10 years ago.
I have to say though, if you do get the bus tour and you only decide to hop on and hop off once, do it at Recoleta. It is probably one of the most unique places I’ve ever visited and I say that about very few places I’ve been.
Speaking of which, its nearly time to pack to head to Iguazu Falls. Ive just checked the weather forecast for Wednesday and they have a ‘feels like’ value. In Belfast its normally something like 2C but feels like -5C. For Iguazu its 39C feels like 56C. Poke me with a stick and tell me when I’m done.

Well it had to happen, the luck had to run out sometime.
In the middle of a stock photo shoot on Weds evening I just didnt feel well at all. Suddenly started getting twinges in my lower back. Now Ive had them before but the thoughts of getting sick in another foreign country really didnt appeal. A quick trip to the loo and it confirmed that another bout of kidney stones was on its way rapidly.
When I was a kid I remember my dad being plagued by them so it was likely Id get them at some point. Although looking back you just dont realise the pain people are in until you feel it for yourself.
Those of you that know me will also know Ive been taking painkillers almost constantly for 11 years now due to an old recurring injury. All that extra calcium probably doesnt help. I have refrained from blogging and facebooking about being painkiller/tablet free due to the heat and humidity for 12 days (until the antihistamine mosquito bites incidents last week) because I knew it would set me up for a fall.
Now those of you who have had kidney stones know that they can just pass with minor irritation and there are times when it feels like you are trying to piss a concrete block. This was the latter. Within half an hour I was sitting on the floor in a pool of sweat trying to knock the co-codamol into me as quickly as I could manage. After taking the recommended dosage for 8 hours in 15 mins it had eased somewhat enough for me to try getting into the shower. How I thought this would help I didnt know but I certainly wasnt going to get any wetter than I was.
By this time my flatmates had noticed my absence and packed up the gear as Id just left the camera on the ground and disappeared.
I asked them to get me to a doctor.
After 2 hours (well it was probably more like 2 mins) I noticed them in discussion to which the outburst was ‘what part of get me to a doctor, do you not understand?’ or words to that effect, there might have been slight swearing involved. Well a lot of swearing, infact every 2nd word was f…
Now Im not one for panicking, I rarely panic and usually in the worst situations can still think logically. The issue my friends had was that they didnt know a doctor, theyd never had call to call one. Not like my poor dad who often commented that a holiday in our house always ended up with one or more of us visiting the local accident and emergency. In fact by the time of any incident my dad could tell you which doctors was open, which hospital was on A+E intake and which local chemist was open on the rota.
So, again, interspersed with swearwords I requested my friends to find the nearest flat with old people or with kids as they invariably would know where the nearest doctor was. I also said that the building porter will know. They said he wouldnt and I slightly forcefully told them to at least walk out of the room and pretend they were doing as I asked. Poor guys didnt know what to do, Not even watching rapper videos on MTV had prepared them for the sheer volume of swearing an irishman in excruciating pain can muster.
We briefly discussed them looking up my travel insurance company on the web and ringing them for advice. I finally just produced every bit of cash I owned, my credit cards, passport and doubled over in the hall informed them that I was leaving for the nearest hospital and to summon a taxi.
At a party earlier in the trip someone here asked me what the people in the rest of the world were like, were they helpful and friendly. I said that no matter where I went people in the main seem always willing to help a stranger. I gave the example in a recent trip to Northern Nicosia I had got lost on the backstreets and my leg pain had increased. I sat down and took a tablet and drank the last of my water with it. Three late teenage or early twenties guys came up to me and I thought ‘oh shit here we go’. They didnt say anything just smiled and handed me a fruit sweet and walked off. There is nothing like the kindness of strangers, particularly alone far from home.
With all the wars and fighting and reasons given for people to kill each other, when you get down to individuals requiring help or just a smile then in most places people will offer it. I suffered horrific injuries in Kenya 11 years ago, injuries that would have left someone local to die but everyone I met was supportive, it wasnt until I reached London that people didnt care. A lesson there perhaps.
In what seemed like an eternity a taxi arrived and I was whisked at the speed of light as only taxi drivers know how to do to the local hospital. I was given a number and told to take a seat which was easier said than done. From home experience I expected to wait about an hour to be seen and be doubled up all that time.
I was seen in less than 10 mins, explained the situation and about 10 mins later had the much needed painkilling injection. 10 mins after that I was sort of back to normal with only the now translucent skin colour that comes with severe pain showing any problem at all. If you havent encountered this phenomenon, lucky you, I dont know the technical reasons but all blood and colour leaves the skin, probably the defense mechanism taking blood away from non-important areas. The only spots of colour I had were now the remaining multiple mosquito bites.
Another difference from home was that the doctor sent me for tests to make sure I didnt have an infection and that was all done in an hour and I was sent home with the all clear but told to drink as much water as I could get down me over the next few days and at least whilst I was still in the country.
So back in the apartment things started to return to normal. Pain was subsiding and colour was starting to return. I drank about 2 litres of water in the next hour which the guys had prepared for me and tried to get some sleep.
By now it was 3am and if things hadve been normal Id have been getting up at 6am to set off on my pre booked day trip to Colonia Del Sacremento, Uruguay.
Being the idiot I am and having been through this experience a couple of times before at home I thought, ah sure I’ll get up at 6am anyway and see how I feel….
I cant finish this posting without giving my thanks to my flatmates Gaspar, Juan and Luis whose role in all the above is portrayed humourously but who showed that despite language differences, despite cultural differences that there is kindness in strangers the world over. I appreciate everything you did for me lads, muchas gracias amigos.
Also thanks to the hospital staff at the hospital whose name I still dont know, who like hospital staff everywhere are overwork and under appreciated by the people who have never been unfortunate enough to have required their services.

The Dangers of Travel Photography
Search Radharcimages
This is very much a case of do as I say, not as I do.
We are all well aware of the dangers of travel photography. I often like a wingman/wingwoman/wingperson to watch my back in a strange place whenever Im concentrating on camera stuff and actually taking photos. Its either that or the one setting get the camera out take the photo and put it back again which never really does the job properly.
Having been brought up in a rough area I like to pride myself on seeing and recognising a hood/crook/criminal no matter where I am in the world but it always pays to be careful. The less time an expensive camera is on show the better. One advantage of being rather scruffy in general is that people tend not to bother you. Its particularly good when you look like you havent eaten in a while.
My dad told me about how he went into London one night and won a lot of money on the dogs, he was standing in the underground early in the morning on a deserted platform with the money in his pocket. A group of guys arrived and my dad having worked in a bookies for a long time knew these guys would be up to no good. So he put 10 pence in his hand and walked across to one of the litter bins on the platform. He bent down and pretended to pick it up off the floor then proceded to go to the nearby chocolate bar machine and buy a bar. He shoved it into his mouth as if he hadnt eaten all day. He looked around and the guys had left, probably thinking he wasnt worth the bother. Theres definitely a lesson there.
If you are travelling on your own try to blend in, not get noticed (which is difficult when you are carrying a great big camera), look as if you belong there and you know what you are doing.
Dont associate with idiots and canon fodder. What do I mean by that? Well I was travelling with friends by train once through the south of france. It was early in the morning and as we waited to get off the train we were approached by a guy wearing just his socks, boxers and t-shirt.
‘Do you speak english?’
‘No we dont’
‘Ok ok, do you know anyone who does’
‘we are only kidding you’
‘oh ok, do you know where the rest of the train is?’
‘what?’
‘the rest of the train, I woke up during the night, went to the toilet, fell asleep in the toilet, woke up, went back and the rest of the train wasnt there’
‘Oh you mean the back half of the train that was on its way to Madrid’
‘Yes’
‘Its probably in Madrid’
‘where is this part going?’
‘Milan we think but we are getting off here’
‘If I get off here do you think my mate will know where to come and get me, hes got the passports, money, clothes, rucksacks’
Now at some point you have to feel immense pity, you feel like helping the guy out and taking him under your wing. Alternatively you can just run away and remind yourself of Darwins theories.
One other time I was on a bus in Rome and this girl was giving her what I assume was a boyfriend such earache at such a high volume it wasnt hard to be nosey. To cut the long story short they had been walking down this backstreet in Rome which they shouldnt really have been on when he was approached by a beautiful early 20s woman. She walked right up to him with a big kiss and started to fondle his nuts (and I dont mean peanuts). The guy of course was just happy to go along for the ride but suddenly she walked off when another female friend appeared.
The girlfriend at the time was too gobsmacked to say anything and our hero was in no fit state to argue. That was until he discovered that his bumbag (fannypack) was empty and hed lost their money, passports, room keys, everything.
So for the entire bus journey back to the centre of town he and the rest of the bus was reminded about how stupid he’d been. I cant really describe the look on his face, he was taking a lot of abuse and whilst he showed shame and embarrassment there was still a trace of a smile on his face.
So let that be a lesson to you all, either hide your valuables or buy a shedload of cheap wallets from china on ebay, fill them with newspaper cuttings and get a cheap flight to Rome and have the week of your life.
So what has all this got to do with photography? Well I did say at the start, do as I say, not as I do.
I’ll go back to a recent trip to Rome. On the last night it was a clear evening so I thought I’d head to the Vatican and get some late night shots of St Peters Square with maybe a few people ghosting through the shots but try to get most without people.
So I got to St Peters Square and as I was travelling light I’d no tripod, so just put my backpack on the ground and put the camera on the top. It was a still night so wind movement wouldnt be a problem so I just attached the cable release to the camera and lay down behind it all to see through the viewfinder to line it all up.
At this point I heard some footsteps behind me and thought, oh crap Ive

Essential swag for your 4th of July party
By Max on June 28
The 4th of July is a time of celebration, friendship, and family. All over the nation people will be getting together for a day of revelry, barbecuing, fairs, parades, concerts and baseball games. Clearly this is an important day, a day to bring your game face and show your neighbors that you too continue to hold an unreasonable predilection for hating Great Britain and the red coats of yester-century. It’s imperative then, that on such an esteemed day you are as well prepared to party as Paul Revere was for his midnight ride. Here’s some crucial items you absolutely must have to ensure that your 4th of July celebration goes off without a hitch:
Fireworks Popcorn Giftbox: We would of course never advocate using or even owning dangerous and illegal fireworks, but with this fireworks themed popcorn, you can make all the noise without any of the catastrophe or lost limbs. This particular set features four succulent varieties of “A” grade American popcorn grown right in the heartland. You can almost hear the Star-Spangled banner as you crunch down.
Cabela’s Blue Ridge Flintlock Rifle: Yes fellow patriots, this is an accurate, working replica of a Revolutionary War era rifle, the same kind that was used to run the hated Brits back into the sea. Rest assured you’ll be the life of the party with this baby slung across your back. Extra points if you convince your family (or friends, or dog) to reenact a line battle. Just don’t point it anything you don’t intend to absolutely annihilate.
American Flag Shirt: No 4th of July outfit would be complete without an American flag shirt. Its rumored that George Washington himself wore an American flag shirt when he defeated King George III in an arm-wrestling contest. For those with a discerning sartorial inclination, this iconic item can be found in a variety of styles and designs, so no excuses.
Answers
What are the different styles of American flag shirts for this Independence Day?
If you’re not sure what to wear on Independence Day this year you do have a few options. There are differences in women and men’s options when it comes to American flag shirts. Here are the different styles for men and women.
Men’s American flag shirts
-A simple t-shirt with an American flag on it is the easiest style of wearing an American flag shirt on Independence Day. All you need is tennis shoes, a pair of jeans and a hat. Men can also get a button-up collared shirt. This can be paired with a cowboy hat, jeans and boots.
Women’s American flag shirts
-Women seem to have more options when it comes to choosing an American flag shirt. Women can wear tank tops or t-shirts with an American flag printed on it. There are many more styles and prints of the American flag for women to choose from when picking out their Independence Day attire.

Nissan is starting to sell their new 2010 electric for 20K, the federal government will give you a $7,500 incentive. They have lithium batteries with a 100+ mile range. You lease the battery at 2-3 cents a mile.
I could never build one that good. Only 4 US cities are in the start up but many could be added. I'll gt one as soon and they are available !

But some people don't like the look of the vehicles on the market right now - or the ones due to reach market sooner.
Or, if you just want to be different, you know that there's at least no chance that someone will take your own converted car away on a lease buy-back scheme.
It's just another option to getting an EV and an EV grin. How you get there is up to the indidvidual. :)

I'm not a gun nut but I have to ask this question. Is the Enfield electric vehicle made by the same company that made the famous Enfield bolt action rifle?

I suspect both Adam and John would love to come back to do a future show. I plan to do one soon about plug in hybrids and DIY stuff there... While it's not exactly a full electric vehicle some of the stuff carries over...
Rick - The Enfield was not created by the same company as made the motorbikes - at least, I don't THINK they did.

Rick CovertFree AccessRickCovert said on Tuesday, May 12th 2009 @ 12:50 PM:Nikki,
I have to third the kudos to your program. I liked the diy program and I think as much is it would be nice to plunk money down on the Chevy Volt or the Ford Focus EV I'm not sure that the Volt is something I can afford and the Ford Focus is a way for Ford to reach the new EPA mileage standards for the US fleet while still holding onto the huge Ford Expeditions and the like. If Ford can build just enough EVs to tip the balance in its favor it can continue with business as usual. Ford doesn't even have to sell them to the public. They can sell them only to commercial car fleet purchasers and exclude the general public. No wonder they don't want any bail out money. What car company wants its CEO fired and then to be told that it can no longer make anymore Fuel Sucking Pigs or FSPs as we call them here.
So I was gratified to hear John "Plasmaboy" Wayland talk about and advocate common sense strategies for converting to electric with out the appeal to magic batteries or free energy ponzie schemes to power the cars. One thing I would probably beg to differ with John on though is that he said that modern cars would be more difficult to convert and he discouraged it. I think this is wrong for three reasons.
First, newer cars are safer cars. Older cars like the Volkswagen Rabbit of the 1980s have no airbags, reinforced steel doors or headrests that absorb whiplash and are therefore death traps in a car accident. It's not a trivial matter here in the US because upwards of 32,000 people die per year in accidents. Part of it is undoubtedly due to the driving while cellular syndrome which is a pox on the nation.
Second, newer cars do not have to be harder to convert. I saw a website of a beautifully converted electric Yaris that I drooled over. It was so well done it looked factory. The Yaris came out around '06 so it has all the CANBUS paraphernalia in it and yet it was converted successfully with the best parts availably like a Netgain Warp 9 series DC motor, a 1000 amp Cafe Electric Zilla controller and Exide blue maintenance free batteries. The car was brand new when it was converted so it can be done if you choose a car without all the bells, whistles and goo-gahs onboard. A Yaris fits the bill. http://www.go-ev.com/Mark_Dutko_Album_files/
Third, with the exception of the Chevy S-10 which is still an excellent conversion choice even if GM goes into the drink, most of the older cars that John talks about converting like the Rabbit of the '80s will undoubtedly have difficulty obtaining replacement parts for things like CV joints, tie rods, springs, tail light lenses, seats, etc. So when choosing a car its important to choose one that you can get replacement parts for or you're in for a world of hurt like the president of our EV club was until he found a practically pristine 1980 Plymouth Horizon he could cannibalize for parts for his factory converted Horizon called the Jet Electrica 007.
There was just one other minor point. I have both books, "Convert It" by Michael Brown and the original "Build Your Own Electric Vehicle" book by Bob Brant and I liked the Bob Brant book more because it explains the advantages of each type of battery and electric motor in detail. It also places great emphasis on the proper choice of vehicle to convert based on vehicle curb weight, wind drag coefficient and capacitiy for storing batteries. But then I'm a ham radio operator so I think now you know why I like Brant's book more. But John has a valid point. Michael Brown's book is an easier read and I feel that most people who read the book who have also done shade tree mechanic work, like replacing a steering rack arm or replacing a water pump, can do this.

Ooops! I was wrong on the availability of parts for the Volkswagen Rabbit. It turns out the Rabbit was much loved, (by everyone but me but only because I had to fix my girlfriend's, now my wifes old Rabbit ICE engine when it broke otherwise its a fun car ) and so a cottage industry has evolved around the Rabbit. Here's some links if you need door handles, side view mirrors, etc.

Great show. It is because of guys like John Wayland, KiwiEv, and many others that have done conversions that inspired me and I am sure many others to do there conversions.
Because it seems like it takes forever for the manufactures to catch up with private garages it is people like this that keep the fire going for ev's.
Also on the subject of Morris Minors. We also had the Hillman's sold here in the U.S.
I had a 1959 Hillman Husky when I was a teenager and I sure wish I still had it. It would have made a really fun sleeper to take to the races IMHO. It was very similar to the Morris Minor.
I am glad to rub it in but because I am an Oregonian I will get to see the White Zombie run the July at Portland International Raceway. Woo Hoo
Anyways great show keep up the good work

Most issues related to the social, political and economic changes we are witnessing today due to the emergence and use of technologies of cooperation can be analyzed by using a matrix tracking levels of knowledge on one axis, and levels of interactivity of the other axis.

Findings
The changes brought about by the emergence and use of technologies of cooperation can be analyzed through a matrix tracking levels of knowledge on one axis, and levels of interactivity of the other axis.
Levels of Interactivity:
Passive consumption: The consumer is getting products or services with no real interaction and no real choice. He has to take whatever is available.
Self Service: The consumer is given the ability to choose between various products or services.
DIY: Do It Yourself: The consumer starts getting involved in the value chain.
Co-design: The consumer starts adding value by customizing the product and therefore defining his needs himself (as opposed to buying a product defined by the product management team).
Co-creation: The consumer is involved in the design of the product or service itself.
Levels of knowledge
Raw Data: Data, typically from measurements, or attributes (small, big, expensive, etc...)
Information: Data that I can make sense of. Data within a referential or data that can be tied to a process, so that I establish a first level of knowledge. If I can measure, and if I can compare, I will be able to develop a better sense of understanding
Classification, categorization: When I can better define the context, place the information into categories
Process/Time: When you start introducing the concept of time, and evolution over time.
Logic: When you understand enough of a thing that you can capture this understanding into a logical model. From this comes automation.
Background:
The story starts at a banker's conference where Xavier was doing a presentation on e-Banking. The room suddenly woke up at the last slide when he offered a model to explain how banks could move forward. The impact was stunning, all of a sudden everybody wanted to jump into the discussion.
The model was the result of observations from Swissquote Inc, where intermediaries had become agents of change within the company and had help transform it into a hyperproductive company.
The model has since then been refined, with the definition of the "transformActors" and "ConsumActors", and the classification of knowledge (inspired from Mathematics) and interactivity along the 2 axis of a matrix.
The model has also been validated against 3 real cases with 3 Swiss companies: Swissquote, Largeur.com and Cla-Val.
The Model
The problem:
low cost offshoring, baby boomers reaching retirement age, etc… create tension in the economy. And the answer is not in lowering costs, but rather in achieving high productivity.
The solution:
changing Consumers into ConsumActors. We have heard of crowdsourcing, but the real underlying change is that the customers are getting more involved into the value chain.
Technologies of Cooperation
While technology helps improve processes, the real value behind these technologies is the shift in the interactivity between the producers and the consumers: consumers are getting used to getting more and more involved into the process (self service, product configuration and customization, etc...)
Levels of interactivity
The level of interactivity that is possible with ConsumActors can be classified as follows:
4.1 Passive consumption:
The consumer is getting products or services with no real interaction and no real choice. He has to take whatever is available.
4.2 Self Service
The consumer is now given the ability to choose between various products or services. This first step is already a huge step forward, as the consumer can go around the vendor to pick and choose what he wants.
4.3 DIY: Do It Yourself
At this level, the consumer starts getting involved in the value chain. This is what IKEA offers, where you are not just buying a product, you are actually also delivering it to your home and building it yourself. This case is an example of the first disruption from the standard retail value chain.
4.4 Co-design
At this level, the consumer starts adding value by customizing the product and therefore defining his needs himself (as opposed to buying a product defined by the product management team). This is what Dell is asking from customers when they have to pick and choose options to build a computer.
4.5 Co-creation
This is the ultimate level of involvement, where the consumer is actually involved in the design of the product or service itself. This is what Open Source does for developers, and what Wikipedia does for knowledge consumers. Similarly Procter and Gamble has a "Connect and Develop" program that lets innovators define products.
Levels of knowledge
Being able to interact at the various level listed above requires various levels of access to knowledge. For example co-designing a computer on the Dell website implies that the consumer has a good understanding of the various components and their importance within the system. A slow processor with lots of memory, or a fast processor with very little RAM are not going to be good options.
And then knowledge includes a notion of context that should also be taken into account: knowing that something is small is only useful relative to a context: is Jean small because he is only 4 years old, or is he small because most people his age are typically 5" tall?
Following these concepts, knowledge can be classified as follows:
5.1 Basic Knowledge
5.1.1 Raw Data
Data, typically from measurements, or attributes (small, big, expensive, etc...)
5.1.2 Information
Information is data that I can make sense of. Data within a referential or data that can be tied to a process, so that I can establish a first level of knowledge. If I can measure, and if I can compare, I will be able to develop a sense of understanding: Jean is 4 feet, and I can measure his classmates to decide whether Jean is small or not. From information I can develop basic knowledge.
5.2 Formal knowledge
5.2.1 Classification, categorization
This second level of knowledge is when I can better define the context. In the example of Jean, I can place the information into categories to reach another level of understanding: boy/girl, small/tall. By defining categories and sub-categories, I can refine the level of knowledge I have.
5.2.2 Process/Time
The third level of knowledge is when you start introducing the concept of time, and evolution over time. This introduces another level of complexity and another level of understanding beyond what can be known now.
5.2.3 Logic
The final level of knowledge is when you understand enough of a thing that you can capture this understanding into a logical model. From this comes automation. This is how we started building calculators, encapsulating logic into a machine, and now expanding to building transistors into microchips to build computers for example. It all seems as if mathematic algorithms were slowly but irreversibly being materialized into automated processes. And we are only at the very beginning of an exponential curve in this area.
5.3. Informal Knowledge
Another type of knowledge that will not be considered in this document, but should be mentioned, is informal knowledge.
5.3.1 Informal Experience
This is knowledge learned from accumulated experience. This is how people learn how to drive for example
5.3.2 Informal Thinking
This is the knowledge from "soft" fields, for example philosophical, cultural, religious, moral or ethical knowledge. They should not be ignored since they are at the forefront of the political, social and cultural scene. An expression of this type of knowledge is on display in blogs or reality TV shows for example.
The management of Knowledge is what has led to major changes in the way we work today:
It all started with the concept of “Community of practice” presented by Etienne Wenger on 9/18/88
It evolved towards becoming a core engine of the enterprise, with Knowledge Management, to manage both static (as in encyclopedias) and dynamic knowledge (as in knowledge facilitated by groupware, starting with email).
It has also now been opened and shared to allow for collective intelligence, benefiting both from internal and external input.
The matrix
Using the 2 axis that were defined, it is possible to create a matrix that can be used to resolve the issue of transferring production from the producer to the consumer.
On the vertical axis:
Data - info - classification/categories - time process - model
On the horizontal axis:
Receive - Self Service - Do It Yourself - Co-design - Co-creation
To use the matrix you need to start from the bottom left (data/Receive), to then evolve towards the right to include the consumer into the value chain and define the level of knowledge that needs to be transferred to the consumer to enable his involvement.
The matrix can be used for several analytical purposes:
7.1 Historical analysis - the matrix can be used to compare the result of 2 strategies used at different times, to analyze why one worked better than the other:
Nestle had tried to sell Nespresso through the regular channels without much success. Then they decided to change strategy (break with history) and created the Club Nespresso, where customers are educated and provided with a tool to order directly online, which completely change the buying and consuming experience
7.2. Market analysis - the matrix can be used to compare the strategy of two different companies on the same market:
Napster introduced technology that allowed users to download songs for free. The technology also allowed mixing and matching of songs so that users could create their own CDs. The same concept was then used by Apple to create iTune and the iPod, while Sony decided to simply extend its existing model to make room for this new technology, but trying to keep as-is the control of the IP.
The matrix shows that the game was about adding a level of freedom in the consumption of songs, rather than just extending technology.
7.3 Strategic analysis - the matrix can be used to define where to direct future developments:
Telcos are being threatened by VOIP, which allows near free communication anywhere around the world. Several options are available for them to react: bundle services, or offer new services for mobile, where VOIP is not a player today. Docomo is now offering payments through mobile phones, thus starting to compete with banks. The matrix can help figure out which players they should work with to make this strategy successful
7.4 Positioning analysis - the matrix can help position a product on a market. A computer is a complex thing and I can decide to buy through an expert who will help me design the computer I need, or I can go to Dell to build online my own. The 2 market segments can co-exist today, but the matrix can help understand which market will survive in the long term
Case studies
8.1 Swissquote (a Swiss equivalent of eTrade)
From the CEO prospective, the success of Swissquote is due to:
Empowerment: providing the right information and tools to customers to allow them to trade online
Monitoring: performing statistical analysis to evaluate risk, as a tool for both the bank and the users
E-wealth management: tools to help users optimize their investments
One challenge was and still is the education of customers. 2 types of classes are offered: first step (free), and paying classes on specific topics. This is a very costly undertaking, a risk taken to help the transformation
The other challenge is to provide the right tools, allowing to perform complex operations while remaining user friendly. This challenge still needs to be addressed today.
Looking at the banking industry, there are 2 major trends that can be identified:
Communities of practice are taking over the education of consumers and improved interactions
Models need to be improved to help provide more sophisticated tools
The matrix can help clarify these trends and challenges
8.2 Largeur.com - citizen journalism
After several experiments, Largeur.com has settled for a model where they produce high quality journalism but getting the content from freelancers and offering aggressive prices. Once the customer base was established, they looked into opening the platform to students and other members of the civil society (teachers, thought leaders but also unemployed people), which are representative of the audience they are addressing already.
The media industry is organized around 3 major poles:
Convergence (synergy between traditional media and the Internet) - Financial Times, Wall Street Journal
Divergence (break from the traditional model to go towards a crowdsourcing approach) - OhMyNews
Complementarities (compromise between the other two) - TSR.ch
The matrix can help rationalize the various content production and content delivery tools (blogs, RSS, Web, SMS/MMS, and Newspapers) to better understand the media industry
8.3 Cla-Val - pumps to regulate pressure
They have evolved around 4 major poles:
Commoditization: they have accumulated over the years more than 100 standard products
Customization: their customers cannot get an end to end solution from just the standard products
Geographical expansion: the experience gained in the implementation of custom solutions opens new geographical markets and allows rapid expansion
Customer innovation: customization has also introduced flexibility into the system, and combined with remote management capabilities has enabled co-innovation
The matrix clearly shows how this evolution was possible.
Conclusion
Direct economy is the result of 5 major factors:
Introduction of the consumer into the value chain
Death of the old intermediaries, to leave room for new types of interactions
Empowerment of ordinary people to include them in the innovation process, which creates the issue of Intellectual Property and how to handle it
Emergence of new business models that threaten the existing monopolies
Emergence of new pricing models: donations (OhMyNews) or Bidding (EBay).
IKEA, Easyjet, Dell, Nokia, L'Oreal, Procter&Gamble, Swissquote are examples of the transformations that can be implemented. Companies have to move towards hypergrowth to survive.
What is interesting is that new sub-categories of products are being created in the process (song vs. album), that banks and credit cards were not setup to handle originally. Hel looks and The Satorialist are examples of what is happening in the fashion industry. Istockphoto, Innocentive or Marketocracy are example of consumer involvement in the value chain.
In conclusion, isn't it that the changes we are witnessing in the economy are similar to what happened with Direct Democracy in Switzerland?
The consumers have been empowered, and are we not slowly evolving towards a Direct Economy, completely changing the underlying principles of the Global Economy as we know it today?
Epilogue
While Switzerland introduced Direct Democracy, they are now lagging in their e-government implementation effort. The matrix can help understand what is happening and what needs to be done. It can help compare what is available today against what others in Europe

SEC Media Days: SB Nation Roundup Regarding Mark Richt, AJ Green, and the Georgia Bulldogs

Mark Richt’s turn at the microphone at SEC Media Days featured no questions concerning agents, though it is open to debate whether this was due to "a voluntary hiatus," an "order" (with consequences for disobedience), or "a request on Georgia’s behalf to hold off on all questions regarding the NCAA’s investigation into AJ Green’s alleged presence at the agent-sponsored South Beach Party currently erasing half the games played in the 2009 college football season." (In the meantime, Dawg Sports has confirmed with a relative of AJ Green’s that the star receiver was attending a family function in the Palmetto State at the time.)
The summary of Coach Richt’s remarks authored by Spencer Hall (whose presence at the event I believe to be confirmed by this photograph, unless I miss my guess as to the identity of the bespectacled plaid-clad fellow with sideburns at the center) is linked to above, and C&F;’s live blog of the event is here. Coach Richt’s job security came up, though I have no idea why. For his part, AJ didn’t know how big this was.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m about to go wolf down a Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich, of the sort the hardworking reporters present in the greater metropolitan Birmingham area cruelly were denied yesterday.
Go ‘Dawgs!

One would think
That if Green was in a whole different city, this would be a very brief investigation.

While you are enjoying your sandwich...
try to tune in a bit to Vandy’s Robbie Caldwell.
I don’t know if he can coach a lick, but he’s fun to listen to.

This made me smile.
"I have my circle, and I know who to trust and who not to trust," Green said. "I’m at the point of my life right now that I don’t need to make any new friends. I’ve got to keep that same circle I’ve had since Day 1 and not let anybody in that."How refreshing it is to read a statement like this from a college football player who just “gets it.”
AJ has conducted himself with class from the very beginning at Georgia.
We’ve never heard his name tossed around with any kind of arrest or behavior issue, and he’s done nothing but make us proud again.
His biggest faux-pas so far was his “celebration” against LSU last year, and we all know how that went.
If every player used this kind of common sense in who they let interact with them during their college career and leading up to the draft, there would be a lot fewer instances like SouthBeachOMGSOFUN-gate going on right now.

Top Five Engineering Schools
Engineering is defined as "the branch of science and technology concerned with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures." There are many reasons someone would choose to enter an engineering degree program. Engineering students are generally interested in innovation and the creation of new products or ideas. They have been exposed to the sciences and like learning about the scientific disciplines. Logic is a key element for engineering students, as they must reason through problems. Besides the intrinsic rewards of an engineering degree, students may pursue it for the lucrative salaries that come with an engineering career.
There are different engineering disciplines and all of the top five engineering schools offer programs within the disciplines. These disciplines include:
Architecture - designing structures/buildings
Chemical - converting raw materials to usable compounds
Civil - designing infrastructure like roads and bridges
Computer - creating all aspects of computers
Electrical - manipulating electricity and magnetism to create devices
Industrial - enhance industrial processes
Geotechnical - improve processes or machines related to natural resources like oil and wood
Mechanical - create mechanical systems such as vehicles or engines
Here are the top five Bachelor's degree engineering schools:
1. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) - This school is located in Cambridge, MA, which is also home to the prestigious Harvard University. MIT has an enrollment of 4,232 undergraduates and a total of 10,384 students and is within minutes of Boston. The tuition cost for the university is $39,212 but financial aid is available to cover these costs.
2. Stanford University - Stanford University is located right by Palo Alto, California, a high technology city that is home to many prominent companies like Facebook, Hewlett-Packard, and Tesla Motors. Stanford has 6,878 undergraduates and a total enrollment of 15,319 students. Tuition at Stanford University costs $39,201 but the school has a no loans policy where students whose families earn less than $100,000 do not have to pay tuition, while those whose families earn less than $60,000 do not have to pay for room and board or dining plans as well.
3. University of California, Berkeley - The University of California, Berkeley is one of the most prominent public universities in the nation. It is located in Berkeley, CA, a forward-thinking city that was voted the third most liberal city in the United States and is home to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The university has 25,530 undergraduates and 35,843 total students. In-state tuition is $10,868 while out-of-state students are billed $33,747.
4. California Institute of Technology - The California Institute of Technology, known as Caltech, is situated in Pasadena, CA, about 11 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles. Caltech has a smaller student body than the other universities on this list, with 967 undergraduates and 2,130 total students. Annual tuition at Caltech is $36,282, but this is offset by the fact that Caltech alumni have the highest median starting salary among all universities, according to Payscale.
5. Georgia Institute of Technology - This is also one of the most prestigious public schools in the country and is usually called Georgia Tech. The campus is located in midtown Atlanta, GA

The Black Church and the Prosperity Gospel
Friday, October 1, 2010
The scandals surrounding Atlanta’s Bishop Eddie Long now center on allegations of sexual immorality put forth by four young men who had been teenagers under his ministry. But previous attention had been directed at the financial elements of his ministry at Atlanta’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.
Eddie Long is a teacher of prosperity theology, a perverse distortion of the gospel that transforms the message of Christ into a message of secular salvation through wealth and prosperity. Scholars of the movement have studied why it is that poor, disadvantaged, and disenfranchised people seem so drawn to a false gospel that leaves them poor but makes their preachers wealthy. They seem to find encouragement and hope, even a source of pride, in a pastor who preaches prosperity and lives in ostentatious wealth, even as they contribute their own meager funds.
The Bible is clear in warning against false prophets who preach false gospels and those who would use spiritual authority for their own wealth. The world is scandalized by the false promises of prosperity, and believers in Christ should be just as scandalized about this false promise. But Christians should be far more concerned about the eternal consequences of prosperity theology — its false promise of salvation through financial abundance, of health and wealth through the exercise of “seed faith.” Missing from the prosperity gospel is the message of salvation through faith in Christ alone — a salvation that makes every believer unspeakably wealthy in the grace of Christ but does not promise earthly riches or unblemished physical health.
Writing in the “Houses of Worship” column in today’s edition of The Wall Street Journal, DeForest B. ["Buster"] Soaries, Jr., pastor of the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, New Jersey, writes of the scandal of the prosperity gospel and its popularity among African American churches:
The prosperity gospel—the idea that God guarantees truly faithful
believers physical health and financial wealth—is not new. But cable and
satellite television broadcasting have turned prosperity preachers into
celebrities that have followings similar to musicians and movie stars.
A movement and a theology that once seemed like an aberration among
black churches now appears to be mainstream.
He writes further:
Teaching that desire for more material possessions is a sign of one’s
religious piety is simply offering a justification for crass
consumerism. Prosperity theology elevates greed to a virtue instead of
leaving it as one of the seven deadly sins.
Of course, it is much easier for clergy to preach this gospel when they
are living proof that the “system” works. Hence the celebrity-like
lifestyles of so many religious leaders. The fact that the people most
likely to do well in the prosperity gospel movement are the people at
the top suggests that it is all an ecclesiastical pyramid scheme.
Soaries seems mostly concerned in this article about the false promises of wealth and the economic effects of these teachings on African Americans. All Christians should share his outrage and know that prosperity theology is found among all races and ethnicities. The television screens are filled with their messages and heresies.
But the central problem with prosperity theology is that is is a false gospel. The prosperity preachers do not promise too much. They promise all the wrong things.
Of course, The Wall Street Journal is an interesting place to find an article on prosperity theology. The editors of that famous newspaper know what leads to financial wealth — that is their business — and they know that prosperity theology leads into deeper poverty. It’s only those at the top who drive the expensive cars and ride in private jets.
DeForest B. Soaries, Jr., “Black Churches and the Prosperity Gospel,” The Wall Street Journal, Friday, October 1, 2010.

Words From the Fire: Hearing the Voice of God in the 10 Commandments
If God has spoken, then the highest human aspiration must be to hear what the Creator has said. God has indeed spoken, through the Ten Commandments, and Al Mohler explores this revelation of God and the implications for His people. The promise is to hear, to obey, and to live. These “Ten Words” tell us who God is and what His people should look like.
Dr. R. Albert Mohler, Jr., serves as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary — the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention and one of the largest seminaries in the world. Read more

The Santorum Predicament: A Sign of the Times
Monday, February 27, 2012
Former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan had it just right — someone had better read Rick Santorum his Miranda rights. In the big leagues of national politics, she warns, “Everything you’ve said can and will be used against you.”

“Abortion is as American as Apple Pie” — The Culture of Death Finds a Voice
Friday, January 20, 2012
Abortion is now one of America’s most common surgical procedures performed on adults. As many as one out of three women will have at least one abortion. In some American neighborhoods, the number of abortions far exceeds the number of live births.

Learning from Christopher Hitchens: Lessons Evangelicals Must Not Miss
Wednesday, January 11, 2012
The death of Christopher Hitchens on December 15 was not unexpected, and that seemed only to add to the tragedy. His fight against cancer had been lived, like almost every other aspect of his colorful life, in full public view. He had told numerous interviewers that he wanted to die in an active, not a passive sense. Then again, there may never have been a truly passive moment in Christopher Hitchens’ life.

President Obama and Same-Sex Marriage — The Dance Continues
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Some predictions are rather safe to make. 2012 is almost certain to be a determinative year on the issue of same-sex marriage. Multiple courts appear poised to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act DOMA and, even more urgently, the appeal on California’s Proposition 8 at the Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals will set up a certain appeal to the US Supreme Court. Given the facts of this case and the significance of the nation’s most populous state, the Supreme Court is almost certain to take the case. This sets the stage for the courts to make some determinative statement on same-sex marriage within the next several months — a decision that will go a long way toward setting the direction of the larger culture.

The Black Church and the Prosperity Gospel
The scandals surrounding Atlanta’s Bishop Eddie Long now center on allegations of sexual immorality put forth by four young men who had been teenagers under his ministry. But previous attention had been directed at the financial elements of his ministry at Atlanta’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church.

The 2019 Transportation group revisited its priorities, celebrated progress and discussed how to broaden its impact when it met this week. Half of the meeting was devoted to a ‘visioning’ exercise where the group responded to the question, “it’s Dec. 2019 and the media asks you, ‘what has this group accomplished in sustainable transportation in the last ten years?’”
Small groups brainstormed and then the larger group voted for their favorites among the long list of ‘accomplishments’. Top vote getters are:
We adopted ‘complete streets’ legislation and incorporate it in every road project
We’ve completed the Towpath Trail and the Cleveland neighborhood connectors
We have predictable transit funding from the federal government
We increased ‘mode shift’ – more transit riders and transportation cyclists
“The next meeting we’ll talk about metrics,” said Mike Neundorfer, president of Neundorfer Particulate Knowledge and co-convener of the group. “We should link with the Metrics group that came out of the 2019 summit. And among us we should divide into smaller groups and work on developing metrics.”
Projects updates followed the visioning session. They are:
Improving the performance of Euclid Corridor as a Complete Street
Kevin Schmotzer at the city’s Department of Economic Development, offered that some of the recent changes to the timing of traffic lights on Euclid Corridor are due to construction. “Many have come from east-west route changes and from RTA drivers, but if you have specific intersections of concern, flag them.”
Brad Chase at GreenCityBlueLake Institute and chair of RTA Citizens’ Advisory Board, said the larger concern is keeping the line of communication open between the city, RTA and other stakeholders to help achieve the promised 20 minute travel time from Public Square to East Cleveland.
“How do we have better communications between groups in corridor, and how do we define a Complete Street corridor?” Chase said. “This is supposed to be a bus, pedestrian and bike priority corridor. If we want to get this (complete streets) working around the city, we have to get it right here first.”
Action item: Chase and John Mitterholzer, program officer at Gund Foundation and a 2019 Transportation group co-convener, will work on a meeting with the stakeholders along the corridor with the goal of establishing a “better communication protocol on changes” that have lengthened the 20 minute trip time for the HealthLine bus-rapid transit line.
3-C passenger rail
Legislators need to hear the urgency from supporters of the 3-C, said Devan Willemsen, Director of Air & Land Use Special Projects at the Ohio Environmental Council. Ohio has $400 million promised from the federal government for high speed rail, but it has not been committed by the state. “It’s turning into a bit of a governor’s race issue. Some people are calling multi-modalism a passing fad. The controlling board for 3-C need to let legislators, specifically Bill Harris, know to get this going.”
Mitterholzer added that many are not aware that the federally designated high-speed rail corridors will continue to receive funding, up to $1 billion over next few years. “If we turn down this money, we’re done with rail in this state for the next decade. We’re the only state considering turning down the federal money.”
Action item: Willemsen said supporters of the 3-C can let their legislators know how they feel using this web site http://www.linkingohio.com/
Federal funding for multi-modal projects
Transportation legislation has been introduced in the Senate, after the House passed its version. Supporters of multimodal and active transportation can sign up for Rails-to-Trails Conservancy email alerts, said RTC Ohio director Rhonda Border-Boose. “Talk about predictable, federal funding – this is it,” she said.
Action item: “We need senate support – specifically Sen. Voinovich," Border-Boose said. 'We would like a ‘show Congress’ event, to tour Voinovich around where the alternative transportation dollars are being spent. Right now we need letters to legislators."
Multi-purpose path on the Innerbelt Bridge
Governor Strickland said he’d like ODOT to look again at the feasibility of a bike and pedestrian path on the new Innerbelt Bridge. “He has a couple of important caveats, on cost and safety that we plan to address,” said ClevelandBikes volunteer Kevin Cronin. “We deeply appreciate the step the governor took, and Senator Brown’s letter. It’s a testament to the individuals who sent letters to local and federal leaders. We’re not out of woods yet, but we’re making progress.”
The group rounded out the meeting discussing new roles to sharpen implementation. A coordinator that works with the city, a liaison to other 2019 groups, a strategic plan coordinator, and an executive committee for the group were some of the positions identified for further discussion.
In its wants and needs category, the group identified the following:
Can we convince the city that our priorities are their priorities?
What’s our role from 2019?
Identifying right minority reps.
Sufficient focus.
Subcommittee structure.
ID short term goals to expand the scope of the group.
Think bigger for action items – to gain traction, go for something substantial.
Keep track of accomplishments done (quantify and capture).
A complete streets group
Focus, don’t want to get spread too thin.
Buy in from local politicians.
Clearer vision of responsibilities, what power do we have to make the changes?
Be clear communicating to the public.
Need more attention to what is our authority and use our networks to get more attention to our projects.
And how drive issue home through channels that we know.
