David Sarasohn: Death Row has become little more than permanent housing
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 26, 2014, 10:25AM
By David Sarasohn In a state where it's tough to find long-term housing, one great exception has been Oregon's Death Row. Since criminals continue to be sentenced to capital punishment in Oregon, but the state has executed just two people in 50 years – and those by the convicts' request – anyone sent to Death Row is pretty clearly...

David Sarasohn: A bleak picture of child poverty in Oregon
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 22, 2014, 2:35PM
By David Sarasohn If there were a town named Poverty, mused Tonia Hunt of Children First for Oregon, it would be the largest city in Oregon. Its population would run heavily to children, because a higher percentage of Oregon's children are poor than other age groups. It would look familiar to Oregon's urban residents in another way. "The paths... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Washington will show Oregon what legalization looks like
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 17, 2014, 4:20PM
By David Sarasohn Rolling over the Interstate Bridge into Legalization Land a few days ago, you could immediately sense a difference long before catching a whiff of anything in the air. The rotating illuminated signs on Interstate-5, the ones that typically welcomed you to the Evergreen State, now declared "Drive High/Get a DUI." Maybe it's not the most effusive... Full story »
David Sarasohn: The Senate should do what little it can
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 15, 2014, 3:24PM
By David Sarasohn As Congress has only a few sessions left before its month-long August break from doing nothing – Congress's legislative record isn't very different whether it's in Washington or not – it may be that we're looking at this whole election thing wrong. Facing a Senate election in Oregon this fall, maybe we're asking the wrong questions... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Earl Blumenauer's road-funding plan
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 09, 2014, 3:30PM
By David Sarasohn Earl Blumenauer has a major reason why he thinks his plan to avoid a transportation funding collapse could work. His plan, he says hopefully, "allows politicians to exercise no leadership," a condition that has otherwise stood immovably before any achievement in this Congress. "The issue is just get out of the way," explains the 10-term Portland... Full story »
David Sarasohn: The Hobby Lobby decision and the legal battles ahead
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 04, 2014, 9:36AM
By David Sarasohn In a ringing decision last week – or at least as ringing as a 5-4 decision could be – the U.S. Supreme Court declared that "closely-held" corporations had religious rights, even if you hardly ever saw the corporation in church. Such corporations could, ruled the court, excuse themselves from the obligations of the Affordable Care Act... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Grounding the federal no-fly list
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
July 01, 2014, 11:12AM
By David Sarasohn In its way, you might judge from Portland federal district judge Anna Brown's opinion last week, the federal government's no-fly list policy has been almost a perfect model of government convenience. You couldn't know if you were on it – unless you were prevented from getting on a plane, and even then you received no clear... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Sen. Patty Murray's plan to reduce summer childhood hunger
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
June 28, 2014, 9:42AM
By David Sarasohn It takes a lot of effort to feed these kids lunch. To put the bananas and low-fat milk in front of these 78 kids, from silent hand-holders not quite reaching hip-level to recent fifth-grade graduates trying on new middle-school faces for the fall, it's taking efforts by the North Clackamas school district, support by Metropolitan Family...

David Sarasohn: Reasons vanishing to oppose an Equal Rights Amendment
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
June 24, 2014, 3:30PM
By David Sarasohn Last Friday, the Oregon secretary of state's office verified that a petition to put an Equal Rights Amendment into the Oregon Constitution had turned in enough signatures to qualify for the ballot this November. This means this fall's ballot has already gotten more interesting; you can't count on the marijuana measure to do all the work... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Revenue is dwindling, but road problems are not
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
June 21, 2014, 9:30AM
By David Sarasohn There are so many things to look forward to in summer: going off on family vacations, lazy drives in the country, rolling over cooling rivers on structurally sound bridges. And this summer, we can look forward to the National Highway Trust Fund running out, which could do more to keep Americans motionless than the mosquito. For... Full story »
David Sarasohn: With graduation over, students confront debt
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
June 17, 2014, 10:05AM
By David Sarasohn We've just completed graduation weekend for Oregon's state universities, producing lots of parties, a boom in robe rentals and one powerful meaning for the state's economy: Thousands more Oregonians are now beginning to have their student loans come due. We're giving a whole new meaning to the phrase "college credit." Student debt in America now tops... Full story »
David Sarasohn: The terrible reality for which students now prepare

June 13, 2014, 1:00PM
By David Sarasohn Talking to students outside Reynolds High School Tuesday morning, television reporters several times marveled at the teenagers they were interviewing, just outside a school that was suddenly also a murder scene. The students were, the reporters kept saying, so calm. Parents, of course, even if their children had already reassured them by cell phone, tended to... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Wapato jail needs a suitably Portland future

June 10, 2014, 11:11AM
By David Sarasohn This week is a major real estate moment in Portland, right up there with the time someone thought up the name "The Pearl" or the last time Civic Stadium was remodeled. Last week was the deadline for Multnomah County to receive proposals for what to do with Wapato jail, or rather Wapato "was supposed to be... Full story »
David Sarasohn: Portland City Council's street fee follies

June 07, 2014, 9:37AM
By David Sarasohn Last week brought back long-repressed memories of the Multnomah County commissioners' short-lived issuing of same-sex marriage licenses in 2004, and not just because on Wednesday – 10 years later – the U.S. Supreme Court finally refused to block marriage equality throughout Oregon. The vision returned because the Portland City Council was considering a similar mistake –... Full story »
David Sarasohn: When summer comes, school lunches end
By David Sarasohn | Special to The Oregonian
June 03, 2014, 9:02AM
By David Sarasohn June in Portland means Rose Festival, which usually means rain, although this year we might be lucky. It means sidewalk tables being set out not only by restaurants but by closet-sized food carts. This year, June means the 37th consecutive NBA finals not featuring the Trail Blazers. It also means the end of school lunches and... Full story »

KTM have listened to the criticism of poor fuelling and harsh throttle response and come up with a heavily revised package for 2011. More power, better fuelling with the same stunning looks and responsive handling. No electronic rider aids make it rewarding and engaging to ride either on or off the track.
1078cc, 190bhp, 190mph, Insurance group 17
This is the ultimate evolution of MV Agusta's famous F4 model, which has been with us in one form or another since 1999. The in-line-four-cylinder MV Agusta 1078cc F4 1078 RR 312 replaces last year's 998cc F4 R 312. The '312' bit of the name refers to the top speed achieved by the bike on MV's test track: 312km/h (193mph). ...
999cc, 175.3bhp, 179mph, Insurance group 17
Since 1992 the name FireBlade has conjured visions of a hard-charging superbike with attitude. While this is true of the very first two models, since then the FireBlade became a model of respectability. The 2006-07 model was arguably the best road-going superbike by being fast and bland in the same wheelbase. The 2008 FireBlade comes with attitude from its rev-happy ...

Yamaha's latest R1 features new-found midrange drive from junking Yamaha's tried and tested five-valve per cylinder in favour of the traditional four-valve set up, but at the same time installing some of the "bad boy" engine manners the original model was famed for. The chassis also gets updated by way of new frame, swingarm and suspension to make this latest ...
998cc, 150bhp, 175mph, Insurance group 16
The third and final great sports bike of the nineties. The FireBlade set the agenda, the 916 added finesse and the Yamaha YZF-R1 topped them off with extra power and madness. Even today the original Yamaha YZF-R1 is a sports tool to be reckoned with and updated Yamaha YZF-R1s are even more potent and easier to use too.
998cc, 181bhp, 182mph, Insurance group 17
Slightly more user friendly than the psycho C-model Kawasaki ZX-10R of 2004/05 but the latest Kawasaki ZX-10R is still a pretty extreme, track focused missile. Competitive in the 1000cc sports category, so obscenely fast and fine handling. Kawasaki ZX-10R headlights not to everyone's taste visually but it's a look that gets cars out of the way sharpish.
955cc, 147bhp, 165mph, Insurance group 15
The Triumph Daytona 955i is an extremely rapid, sweet handling superbike. Unfortunately it was about four years too late in a fiercely competitive class. The R1, GSX-R1000 and FireBlade are lighter and faster. The Triumph Daytona 955i's saving grace is its character from its gruff three-cylinder engine, distinctive understated looks and the fact few riders can use anything like all ...

The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki's first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R's one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It's light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track –a bit of a handful ...

Here are answers to some common questions about burning CDs or DVDs in Windows Media Player. If you don't see your question listed here, see Windows Media Player: frequently asked questions.
You can use the Player to burn a mix of songs from your Player library or from your computer to an audio CD, after which you can play the CD in any standard CD player. You can also burn files to data CDs and DVDs. It is not possible to burn live streams, such as radio stations, to a CD or DVD.
CD. You can use either a blank CD-R or CD-RW disc for burning in the Player, depending on the type(s) of removable storage that your CD burner supports, and the type of disc that you prefer. Note that not all CD players can play CD-RW discs. You can use the Player to burn the following types of CDs:
Audio CD. Burn music CDs in standard Red Book audio format. Audio CDs can be played in most computers and in home and car CD players that play CD-R and CD-RW discs. You can burn an audio CD from either Windows Media Audio (WMA), MP3, or WAV file formats.
Data CD. A data CD, also called a media CD, can store approximately 700 megabytes (MB) of music or video files. Data CDs are also useful if you want to back up your data files. Keep in mind, however, that some CD players and computers may not be able to play data CDs or some of the file types that can be burned to a data CD.
Data DVD. A single sided, single layered data DVD can store approximately 4.7 gigabytes (GB) of music, video, or data files. The storage capacity of a DVD disc is doubled to 9.4 GB when you use either double sided, single layered or single sided, dual layered discs. The use of a double sided, dual layered disc quadruples the DVD's storage capacity to 18.8 GB.
The type of recordable DVD disc you would use depends on your DVD burner. Certain DVD burners can only burn to certain types of recordable DVDs. For example, with some DVD burners, you can only record to a DVD+R or DVD+RW or to a DVD-R or DVD-RW. However, other DVD burners will let you burn to all of these recordable DVD types. To determine what types of DVDs your DVD burner can burn, consult the manual that came with your DVD burner.
As long as your DVD burner supports burning to these types of discs, you can burn a DVD in the Player using one of the following types of recordable or re-recordable DVD media: DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and double layered DVD+R. The Player does not support burning to DVD-RAM discs.
Burning DVD-Audio and DVD-Video discs is not supported in the Player.
Yes. A data CD or DVD is a disc that contains data files, including, but not limited to, WMA files, MP3 files, WMV files, and most other types of computer files. However, while most computers do support reading and accessing files from data discs, most stand-alone CD and DVD players do not support playback of data CD or DVD discs. Check your stand-alone disc player's documentation for details.
No. Windows Media Player 11 requires that content intended to be burned to discs be first stored on the computer's hard disk.
The process of copying songs to a portable device is called synchronization (or sync). The term "burning" only applies to copying songs to a CD or DVD. For more information on how to sync music to portable devices, see Windows Media Player Sync: frequently asked questions.
Windows Media Player does not support burning movies to video DVD discs. It does support burning data DVD discs, which could contain music and video files. However, data DVDs are typically not compatible with most home DVD players. Check your DVD player documentation for details.
If you burn a data disc and play it on another computer or play it in a portable, home, or car CD player, the songs might not play in the order in which they appeared in your burn list. The playback order of data discs is determined by the device or other program that you are using to play the disc. In most cases, the songs will play back in alphanumeric order by file name.
If you burn a data disc with music files and it does not play in your portable, home, or car CD player, check the following:
Your CD player may not support playback of data CD or DVD discs. Refer to the CD player's documentation for details.
The CD might be burned onto media, such as CD-RW, that is not compatible with the CD player. Refer to the CD player's documentation for details.
Your CD player may not support playback of the type of music files burned on the disc (WMA or MP3). Refer to the CD player's documentation for details.
The songs might be protected with media usage rights. Other computers may be able to acquire usage rights and play the songs if they have a connection to the Internet, but devices such as portable CD players and car stereos will not be able to acquire those rights, so protected content will be unplayable.
The CD might not have been closed when it was burned. Usually you can resolve this problem by adding more songs to the burn list so you are close to the maximum capacity of the CD. Then, try burning the list again to a new CD.
If the disc you inserted is identified as "Blank disc" in the Navigation pane but a message in the List pane instructs you to insert a writable disc, the disc might be defective or no longer writable. This disc might not be writable, for example, if you previously tried to burn items to the disc but you stopped the burn before it was finished. Try inserting a writable disc that you have not previously used.
If you want to reuse a CD-RW disc that has files previously "burned" (written) on it, you can erase the contents of the CD-RW disc by inserting the disc into the CD burner, right-clicking the drive in the Navigation pane, and then clicking Erase disc. (Note that erasing is required before you can burn to a CD-RW disc again.) However, you cannot reuse or erase the contents of a CD-R disc that was previously burned, regardless of how much space was originally left unused.
It is always good practice to listen to the songs you intend to burn all the way through at least once to confirm there are no quality problems with the recordings. By doing so, the Player will also resolve any possible incorrect duration data for those songs.
When using purchased songs, typically you don't need to worry about downloading media usage rights when you're using the same computer that was used to purchase the songs. The Player downloads all available rights automatically at the time of purchase.
However, there may be times when the Player cannot download media usage rights for you. In these cases, the Player typically displays a message that indicates what options you have available. Just follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
If the Player directs you to an online store, you might be required to enter your account name and password to proceed. The online store might require you to update your billing information or to pay a fee to download additional usage rights, such as the right to burn a song to a custom, audio CD.
Some CDs, when some of their songs are ripped, may include one or more seconds of silence in the ripped music file after the music ends. Other CDs may include silence gaps at the beginning of some songs. Many CDs mark the beginning and ending of songs with the introduction and end of audible sound on each track. The Player automatically adds a two-second gap between songs when burning audio CDs to keep the next song from beginning immediately after the end of the previous song. The extra silence gaps included in the music files from the ripped CDs can create long, inconsistent pauses between songs. Since the Player's two-second pause cannot be turned off, the only way to resolve this issue is to use an audio file editor to remove the silence gaps in the song recordings themselves.
Put the disc in a CD-ROM drive in your computer. Start Windows Explorer and look at the contents on the CD you just inserted. If you see the file type .CDA on the CD, that indicates that the CD was burned as an audio CD. A data CD may contain any type of file, from .wma and .mp3 digital music files, .wmv digital video files, or even backups of document files.
If you are unsure if your CD drive has the ability to burn CDs, you can look at the front of the CD drive tray for the compact disc logo that indicates whether the drive offers "writable" or "rewritable" features.
Alternatively, you can look at the CD drive's properties in Windows to help determine whether your CD drive offers that feature by doing the following:
Click Start, and then click My Computer.
Right-click the CD drive, and then click Properties.
Look for the Recording tab. If the Recording tab isn't there, your drive is not a CD burner.
If your computer does not have a CD burner drive installed, you'll need to buy a CD burner drive and have it installed. Many options exist for either internal or external CD burner drives. Contact your computer manufacturer's upgrade sales department or a computer/electronics retailer for more information.
As the disc is burned, you can check its progress by clicking the Burn tab, and then clicking the disc burner that is burning in the Navigation pane. Burning a disc will take some time. For best results, don't try to perform other actions, such as playing other files, while burning a disc.
Check that the burner is connected to your computer. If it is connected, and you haven't yet created a list of files to burn, simply exit and then restart the Player. Once you do so, the Player should recognize your USB burner. If you had created a list of files to burn, you can save the list before exiting the Player by doing the following:
Click the List button at the top of the List pane, and then click Save Playlist As.
Type a name for the list, and then click Save.
Exit and then restart the Player.
Click the Burn tab. If you have multiple CD burners, click the arrow below the Burn tab, and then click your USB burner.
In the Navigation pane, click Playlists, and then drag the list you had saved to the List pane.
Click Start Burn.
Before burning starts, the Player performs an initial check of the files in your burn list. In some cases, a file may have an error condition that prevents it from burning, or the file may be protected with media usage rights that either prohibit burning to an audio CD or limit the number of times the file can be burned to an audio CD. When the Player encounters one or more files with a problem during the initial check, the Player displays a dialog box to give you the option of either skipping the files (and continuing with burning the other files in the list) or stopping burning so that you can try to resolve the problem. If the Player finds problems with any other files after the initial check, it will be necessary to resolve the problems or remove the files from your burn list before you can continue burning.
A burn list is just a playlist and can be saved and retrieved like any other regular playlist. If you have spent time creating a custom burn list and want to save the list for later use, do the following:
Click the List button, and then click Save Playlist As.
Type in a unique name for your new playlist and click Save.
To recall your saved burn list to use again, do the following:
Click the Burn tab.
Click Playlists in the Navigation pane.
Select the saved burn playlist from the Details pane and drag it to the List pane.
You're now ready to use that playlist again to burn CDs.
Windows Media Player only has to "inspect" songs that were not ripped in or have never been played in their entirety before by this version of the Player if volume leveling is turned on for burning audio CDs. When the inspecting step of the burn process takes a long time, the Player might be having trouble with a particular song file. Click Stop Burn to stop the burn process and play the song in question all the way through to make sure the Player can play it correctly. If not, the file may be damaged.
If this does not resolve the issue, try either removing the song in question from the burn list or acquiring (downloading or ripping) the song again and then play it all the way through to see if that corrects the problem. If the song does play but the burn process continues to stop when inspecting the song, try turning off volume leveling:
Click the arrow below the Burn tab, and then click More Options.
Clear the Apply volume leveling across tracks on the CD check box, and then click OK.
Try burning the CD again.

"A comment on Credits"
This is a comment to Audible and the publishers on credits. Please note that I will NEVER pay two credits for a book unless it is exceedingly long. I bought this on sale. For the last book, I waited months until it was on sale, too. If these last two books had never gone on sale, I never would have listened. If two credits for popular books becomes the norm, I will cancel my membership. Just sayin'.
As to the book, Kim Harrison is amazing as usual! One of my favorite series.
"A Fond Farewell"
Thank you Kim Harrison and Marguerite Gavin! Over the years, I have come to love these characters and their stories. I never lost interest, as I have with so many other series. I'm so glad they ended perfectly and in character and while they were on top. Thank you for a completely satisfying ending. I can hardly wait to read what you bring us next.
"The Jim Carrey of Narrators"
I imagine this would have been an enjoyable and imaginative book, but I couldn't finish it. The narrator seems to have never met a line he didn't wish to over state, over act, over everything. Listening to his voice is like a Californian taking their first sip of Southern iced tea. Or like a small town library reader during story time with a group of five year olds. I could go on, but I probably shouldn't. This book is marketed for middle school kids, but I believe the reading style is far too juvenile for them.
"A book for the decidedly un-metrosexual man"
This book made me smirk. The main character had a fun, quirky voice which was helped along by the most awesome narration. I enjoyed the new twist on zombies, as well.
However, I think you'd have to be a tee shirt and jeans wearing, domestic beer drinking, football worshiping, man cave owning guy to fully appreciate it. Women, especially beautiful women, were dangerous, mysterious, volatile, helpless, demonic and/or banshees, the source of all evil, or just plain zombies. Flatulence was elevated to levels I'd not seen in literature before.Guys liked to sneak a hug, and then call each other fruity. The attractive lesbian in the tale was a potential convert until she was found to prefer zombies over men.
I found I couldn't help but roll my eyes from time to time, which made it quite difficult to listen and drive at the same time. Nevertheless, it was a fun story, and the main character was likeable. He wasn't all that different from some of my exceedingly hetero guy friends, and he liked dogs. No one who likes dogs can be all bad.
"My first Slaughter book -- I'm hooked!"
The book started out strong, but predictably for me: interesting start, good narration, but nothing too surprising. Then, the first chapter ends, my perspective is wrenched in a new direction, and I'm paying attention! Slaughter has a true gift for storytelling. The twists in the story and in her characters kept me awake into the night listening. I think I may have found a new, favorite author!
"The Sum is Greater than its Parts."
Short Version: The story was pleasant and homey... enough so that I purchased the third book in the series. I would be ashamed to recommend it to anyone I know, though.
Long Version: This story takes simplicity to new levels of simpledom. Seriously. The tale is linear, inevitable, and without many surprises. But, it's also a little bit like life, and one can just sink into these characters and become immersed in their lives.
The narration is atrocious yet pleasant; I have no idea how she pulls it off. She has zero consistency and very little variation between the voices. The Hispanic character sometimes has an accent, sometimes sounds like the main character, and is sometimes a mishmash of both. And yet, Ms. Plummer is very pleasant to listen to, and she somehow manages not to ruin the book for me.
Disclaimer: I'm not a fan of the romance genre. That said, this book offended me from time to time. A female character curled up like a little kitten in her big hulking man's lap. Really? Sheesh. Numerous mention was made of the Hispanic character's fiery and roving Latin ways. Another sheesh. So, I can't recommend this book, but I can't really not recommend it, either. It somehow manages to rise above its many flaws.
"Sad and a bit pathetic"
So, the author's premise seems to be that people (especially women) are being driven slowly mad by societal pressures to conform and pressure to ignore their innate talents. Her solution is to find the most domineering, badass, alpha male and to retain just enough sense of self to ensure constant discord for the rest of their time together. This is made more tolerable by chapter long episodes of hot sex. Really? Fast forward 10 years and 3 cubs later, and that bad boy won't be so gentle, and our heroines will be frantically searching for a domestic abuse hotline. I guess the writing was not nearly good enough to help me massively suspend my disbelief during this story.
"Dreadful Narrator"
I've come across books before with narrators I'm not fond of, but this is by far the most shockingly bad reading I've ever heard. Children and women sounded like petulant old men. Sound effects ( as in the jingling of bells on a cap) were done in a jarring whine. I struggled through one hour of the audio and finally gave up.
I gave the book to my husband, and he lasted 15 minutes. His impression was of a particularly boring and uninspired minister. I have now finished this book, but I had to buy the text version to do it. Five stars for the story.
"A gripping story that just keeps getting better."
This second book in the trilogy is even better than the first! The characters continue to have depth; the conspiracies are even more chilling. I was not too fond of the narration in the first book, but Chris Patton does an amazing job in Deadline! I can hardly wait for the third book to come out.
"A beautifully crafted tale"
After listening to this book, I am a new fan of Ms. Kiernan. The tale is chilling in a way the creeps up and over and under the skin, taking its time but not taking too long. I finished it feeling dazed and uncomfortable, which is precisely how I like my horror. A unique and troubling read.

European troubles to weigh on Guess sales
The jeans maker has significant exposure to Southern Europe, which has been severely affected by the debt crisis.
Guess may be particularly impacted because of its significant exposure to Southern Europe, where the sovereign debt crisis and ensuing economic slowdown has been most severe.
Guess competes with other specialty retailers such as Aeropostale (ARO), Gap (GPS), Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF), J.Crew Group (JCG) and Urban Outfitters (URBN).
For Guess, the major headwind in the near future will be the slowing economy in Europe and, in particular, Southern Europe, where the company has significant exposure. Italy, for example, makes up nearly 15% of Guess' total annual sales.
As the region's economy deteriorates, Guess should experience negative comparable sales growth for the year. During its Q1 fiscal 2013 earnings call, the company forecasted a decline in its comparable sales for the year ahead, citing tough macroeconomic conditions in Southern Europe as the primary factor.
If Guess decides to increase promotions to drive sales, the impact may show up as a decline in margins. Currently, the company's European business carries the highest margins for Guess compared to that of other divisions.
Guess is currently expanding its store base in Northern and Eastern Europe. The company is particularly focused on the markets of Germany and Russia, where it posted double-digit comp growth recently.
However, with little experience of operating in Northern Europe, Guess will have to overcome the initial hurdle of setting the right product mix for the region. Fashion preferences tend to be very different in Northern Europe compared to Southern Europe. For instance, Northern Europeans tend to prefer a more conservative style versus a more fitted, flamboyant style in the South. Additionally, the company will have to alter its marketing strategy in Northern Europe to suit the target demographic.
We have a price estimate of ~$38, which is 40% above the market price.

4 Electronic Design Requirements Of The System-Integrated Soldier
Perhaps most famously portrayed in Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (1959), the idea of the "future soldier" has been around for decades. As rehashed in countless science fiction films and video games, the stereotypical future soldier is equipped with a protective exoskeleton, enhanced sensory equipment, seamless communication systems, and advanced weaponry. While the concept once seemed implausible, there are many real-world projects under way focused on realizing those seemingly fictitious warfighter capabilities — by integrating a plethora of diverse electronic subsystems into a cohesively operational suit.
7 Noteworthy Technologies From IMS2014
At the 2014 IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium earlier this month, I had the opportunity to speak with the event's general chair, Dr. Larry Dunleavy, about the state of the RF and microwave design industry. While he acknowledged that it is a time of relative uncertainty — due in large part to constrained military budgets and conservative fiscal forecasts for 2014 — he also pointed out that there are plenty of emerging markets where RF and microwave technology is making a significant impact. With the Internet of Things (IoT) driving innovation in burgeoning markets like automotive and healthcare and the development of 5G pushing wireless technology to further heights, there was good reason for nearly 600 companies to flock to the IMS2014 exhibition in Tampa, Fla.

EM De-Embedding Magic – Part 3: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
In Part 1, I described the EM analysis port calibration algorithm that I developed almost 30 years ago and has been in use in Sonnet ever since. At first glance, it might seem like the technique can be applied only to "lonely" ports — ports that have no interaction or coupling with any other nearby ports. In Part 2, I showed how the algorithm can be easily extended to calibrate and de-embed as many tightly coupled ports as needed. Yes, a couple equations are needed, but once you get familiar with them, the process is really easy to do. Everything works so well, one might think that nothing could possibly go wrong.

Vitamin D: Vital Role in Your Health
Researchers conclude the 'sunshine vitamin' is good medicine.
By Richard Trubo
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
Vitamins like C and E continue to be the darlings of many supplement lovers. But those vitamin superstars are being forced to share their throne with the long neglected vitamin D, which is finally getting the attention it may have always deserved.
No doubt, you're probably familiar with the role of vitamin D in promoting healthy bones, largely by promoting the absorption of calcium. "If you have a vitamin D deficiency, particularly in your older years, it can lead to osteoporosis or osteomalacia [bone softening]," says Lona Sandon, RD, assistant professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas.
But there is recent and mounting evidence that links low levels of the vitamin to an increased risk of type 1 diabetes, muscle and bone pain, and, perhaps more serious, cancers of the breast, colon, prostate, ovaries, esophagus, and lymphatic system.
If you want to lower your blood pressure, vitamin D may be just what the doctor ordered. If you're trying to reduce your risk of diabetes, or lower your chances of heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis, then vitamin D should be at the front of the line in your daily supplement regimen.
D-fense for Your Health
As the research into vitamin D is accumulating, it's hard to know where the accolades should start. "Activated vitamin D is one of the most potent inhibitors of cancer cell growth," says Michael F. Holick, PhD, MD, who heads the Vitamin D, Skin, and Bone Research Laboratory at Boston University School of Medicine. "It also stimulates your pancreas to make insulin. It regulates your immune system."
Just consider these recent studies:
Your D-Day Plan of Attack
Many vitamin D researchers are convinced the government's recommendations for adequate vitamin D intake are far below what your body really needs. Those guidelines call for 200 IU a day up to the age of 50, 400 IU from 51 to 70, and 600 IU over age 70.
But, says Holick, studies show that to achieve blood levels of vitamin D that can protect you against chronic diseases, you need an optimal dose of 1,000 IU of vitamin D a day. The vitamin is well absorbed from foods like fortified milk and from vitamin pills, whether taken alone or in combination with other foods.
So how can you get enough of this overlooked vitamin? Most foods aren't filled to the brim with vitamin D -- far from it. You can get 425 IU in a 3-ounce serving of salmon, and 270 IU in 3.5 ounces of canned sardines. But most foods provide much more modest amounts of vitamin D, from egg yolks (25 IU per egg) to cheddar cheese (2.8 IU per ounce).
"You'll get 200 IUs of vitamin D by drinking two glasses of fortified milk," says Sandon, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. But at age 70, even reaching the government's recommended level of 600 IU from diet alone can be a challenge. "These people are probably not drinking six glasses of milk a day for various reasons, including a higher incidence of lactose intolerance in the elderly," she tells WebMD.

For someone in Milford with a clean criminal record and certifiably sound mind, getting a license to carry a concealed weapon is not much tougher than filling out some paperwork and waiting for a background check.
Not in Newton. Novice gun owners there cannot get an unrestricted license to conceal and carry a weapon — even if they have a spotless record. "It's been consistent policy: not for first-time applicants," Newton police Lieutenant Edward Aucoin said. "I've had people who come in here and want to get a license without having shot a gun in their life."

Stephen Colbert is in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Stephen Colbert -- both host of the Colbert Report and expert of Middle-earth knowledge -- is listed on IMDB's page of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug as "Laketown Spy."
Colbert's knowledge of J.R.R. Tolkien's works are well-documented. He's the ultimate Tolkien fan. On numerous occasions, he's flexed his Tolkien brain power against the likes of James Franco and Peter Jackson. He's such a Tolkien fanboy that his wife and his two sons -- Evelyn, Peter and John -- are also listed in the cast for Laketown Spy.
For a good example of how much he knows about Middle-earth, watch him ask Peter Jackson the following question...
Or here he is having a Tolkien showdown with James Franco...

When Georgia Tech stormed to the 2009 ACC Championship and played in the Orange Bowl, Omoregie Uzzi, then a redshirt freshman, thought it would be routine.
"Yeah, definitely," the Tech guard, now a senior, said with a laugh. "But the more you play, the more you see how difficult it is to accomplish something like this."
The "this" he referred to is the Yellow Jackets' appearance in the ACC Championship game, Saturday night in Charlotte, N.C., against Florida State. As it turned out, it'll be the first title-game appearance for Tech and Uzzi since his freshman season. The three seasons since have had their share of successes, but also doses of failure, hence Uzzi's perspective.
Tech may be 6-6 and it may have gotten into the game with help from Miami's self-imposed postseason ban, but if the Jackets pull the upset over the No. 13 Seminoles, the ACC champion rings will be no less shiny, the Jackets' smiles no less broad. And these graduating Jackets will have accomplished something no Tech class has ever achieved —two ACC titles, though one was vacated.
"It'd be a great opportunity to accomplish one more thing while I'm here," Uzzi said. "It'd be great to go out like that."
A solid second half of the season and a serendipitous turn have given Tech and its seniors another chance to find satisfaction in a season that has not granted much. Should the Jackets follow conventional wisdom and lose to FSU, the team's likely epitaph will be one fired defensive coordinator, two overtime losses and six games allowing 40-plus points (thus far).
The 4-2 record in the second half and the stunning 68-50 win over North Carolina, which set an school record for most points in an ACC game, will deserve mention, too, as will numerous missed opportunities, shaky defense and an inability to meet the biggest moments.
It would be a hollow conclusion for Tech's seniors, members of coach Paul Johnson's first two recruiting classes.
"They've had some good wins, and they've had some very tough losses," Johnson said of his seniors. "It's been kind of up and down, which is kind of the way it is most of the time in a lot of places."
There's no shortage of ways to slice their four playing seasons. In ACC play, they were 21-11, fourth best over that span behind Virginia Tech (25-7), Clemson (23-9) and FSU (22-10). They were 4-0 against North Carolina and 3-1 against Clemson, but 1-3 against Virginia Tech and 0-4 against Georgia and Miami. They have extended Tech's bowl-game losing streak to seven games, but also run the Jackets' bowl streak to 16 games, tied with Georgia for fourth longest in FBS.
The class also continued Tech's string of seasons in which the team had a .500 record or better in conference to 18, the longest active streak in FBS and an ACC record. However, Tech has finished only one season in the Top 25, in 2009.
Of the 20 members signed to Johnson's first signing class, a group cobbled together after his hiring weeks before signing day, 15 have earned degrees or will earn them this spring. The remaining five transferred before completing degree work at Tech. Interestingly, at least four of them have earned, or are on track to earn, degrees elsewhere. Of the 12 seniors on the roster, which includes walk-ons, transfer Chris Jackson and members of the 2009 signing class, all have earned their degrees or are on schedule to graduate by next summer.
However, only two members of either the 2008 or 2009 signing classes, Uzzi and former linebacker Julian Burnett, have earned All-ACC recognition.
Largely, they have won and lost the games they were supposed to, with one or two exceptions annually. They had no business losing to Kansas in 2010 or Middle Tennessee State this season. The 2009 season aside, when the current seniors were freshmen and largely played backup roles, the biggest trophy was last season's takedown of 8-0 Clemson at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
Over four years, "we've done some good things; we've done some not good things," quarterback Tevin Washington said. "In the totality of the whole situation, I feel like the good outweighs the bad."
A victory over the Seminoles would be, without question, Tech's greatest achievement since the 2009 season. An Orange Bowl win would end the bowl losing streak and go far to tilt the scale that measures the season and the seniors' career.
Fifty-two of their 54 games are in the books, but there's still plenty of time to make history.

IMO, the whole idea of intercollegiate sports scholarships is to provide educational opportunities for athletes who might not otherwise be able to attend college. NCAA football is not supposed to be the "minor leagues" for the NFL. So while the team's success on the field has been something less than we would have hoped, I am THRILLED by their success in the classroom. The vast majority of college athletes will "go pro" in something other than sports, so it's good to see that our student-athletes are getting well-prepared for their future. I hope they can all go on to have successful and profitable careers as managers, engineers, entrepreneurs, teachers, or whatever career they pursue. THAT would be the mark of a successful graduating class.

Congrats to the Seniors on their academic achievements and their athletic achievements. Realize that everyone measures in wins and losses. Just sticking out four or five years in a program and managing to secure a degree makes you a winner. Hopefully, this will transfer to the real world, giving these young men an opportunity to leave a positive mark on the world.
Good luck tonight against FSU.

Man Ken you have done a great job on covering the jackets…until this week. I understand we got housed by Georgia and the sec championship is here. But what do we have from out home town paper? one frickin article on tech seniors. Maybe fsu has greatness. but nobody gives us a shot. You did an amazing job last week. But I guess the ajc witty paying fort full coverage a week early. We moved the ball on uga a lot. 400 yards of offense didn't just happen. That is the beauty of the TO. You punch in that first drive or two and its on. There's like 10 articles on how uga is ready and we got stupid articles on big ten rumors crap like that. You didn't even cover the Illinois game until late afternoon the next day. Best good played by a team in this state for like 3 years for for tech and ask I see is a bunch of conference realignment. Pathetic. Go jackets!
We are in a conference championship with a bcs bowl on the line. FSU got spanked also. Anything can happen and ask we hear about all week is the negative injury report Anne the other stuff. I understand this paper caters to the SEC. Or season did not end last week!
December 1st, 2012
8:21 am
Appreciate your coverage Ken. We know the Dawgs are the darlings of this state but the fact that there is absolutely no other coverage of the ACC championship besides yours is absolutely pathetic.. Tech fans know where our team stands in the minds of everybody and that is why no true Tech fan cold ever pull for UGA in anything.
December 1st, 2012
8:21 am
@old dog – man, I feel sorry for you. It's great that you make Georgia Tech such an important part of your daily life! You're so jealous of Georgia Tech that on a the day you're bulldogs are playing for an SEC title and possible chance to play for the BCS title, you join our little blog! lol
Try to grow up a little, enjoy your game today and let it go!
Good luck against the Tide.

Without Smith Tech will not be able to make it. Without the old BD years yj that had veins in its wings, instead with veinless-winged Buzz and the pink GT girl GTs on Grant Field plus the pink socks and arm bands, Tech won't be able to make it except playing a powderpuff football bowl. Since Tech did not grab flu shots during pink medical month, displaying an interest mainly in wearing pink during the pink month, they get dishonorably discharged for the rest of the year since they also wore camoflaged unis and CPJ the camo jacket for Veterans Week.

As a UGA graduate, and fan, I'm writing to express my hopes that the Tech team will tonight well represent the state, and our institutions of higher learning in the game against FSU.
I expect you will get smeared, but that doesn't mean I want you to.
December 1st, 2012
9:18 am
Old Dog is just some loser who has nothing better to do. We should feel sorry for him. You know it has to be rough using the library's computer and having to walk back and forth from his trailer park to it. You know the guys that are dressed up in the chicken costumes on the side of the road making 7.50 an hour to dance around?? That's him. Between the chicken dance and trailer park trash, he has a horrible life. So come on folks… Have some feelings.. @ old dog… If you need help.. There is always the YMCA.
December 1st, 2012
9:28 am
Wish I could say the same 1969 Graduate, but I hope the Dawgs get humiliated. When you have UGA talent you should beat Tech and many others, but the one thing you lack is class. Not a fan of Bama but I hope it's not even close.And, here's hoping Rambo gets punched in the mouth.
When Tech does go to the Big Ten and they will, there will no longer be talk about weak conferences, and high school offenses. Finally Tech will have a chance to upgrade their recruiting, and frankly that is the major difference between the two schools.
December 1st, 2012
9:30 am
If Tech is going to pull an upset this year, then this is the game. Actually, the oft-criticized CPJ grind it out TO method with little passing may be the best solution tonight—we'll see how disciplined FSU D is—–need to run counters and misdirection because of their speed. Use the NCSU game for how to run our D—their QB is big like VT's Logan but he's a little wild–we may get a couple of picks—-slow the game down with our methodical ground game—don't screw up on Special Teams and we have a chance.
December 1st, 2012
9:56 am
Well said Flowery Branch – that IS what it's all about. Today is a great day to be a Dawg and a Jacket. Who could have imagined at the beginning of the season both Georgia teams playing for their respective conference championships. I am a Dawg, but I will be watching GT take on FSU tonight as a GT fan. It's too bad we have people like Old Fool, I mean Old Dog making a fool of himself. No need to appologize for him, he just can't help himself. Anyway, Go Dawgs! Go Jackets!
December 1st, 2012
10:07 am
Speaking of rings, did CPJ allow the Seniors to put the score of the GT vs. UGA game on the rings like he did after the 2008 season?
Just curious.
December 1st, 2012
10:35 am
I'm a realist. My hope for tonight is that our guys show up, play inspired for all 4 quarters and leave it all on the field. If they do that, win or lose, I'll be good. However, if they come out flat like they are prone to do, even in big games, it's going to be ugly and no bowl is going to want us.
The only way we have a chance tonight is if every facet plays their best – offense, defense and special teams.

Oh, WnE. Vanishes during three game winning streak. Comes back to troll after losing. If only you would just screw off for good.
BC, Md, (with a LB playing QB), and UNC (a schitzo team that gave up 40 pts to Dook) and you're "proud" of that 3-game win streak?
CPJ has averaged 6 losses PER SEASON for the last 3 yrs. with his hand-picked Recruits, only putzes like you think that he doesn't deserve to be fired.
You avg. 6 losses per season at most schools for 3 straight yrs. you get fired, at GT they call you a genius and then BLAME the DC (that you hired BTW) and refuse to attach any of the failure to CPJ himself.
Our FB program is in the crapper because our fanbase is very limited in their knowledge of what a big-time CFB program should look like, and that is why CPJ can get away with his crap and make $2.6MM per yr. while doing so.
December 1st, 2012
11:34 am
CMR "only" makes $2.9 ~ $3.0 MM per year, does anyone think that CPJ is within $300-400K of CMR as a CFB coach?
December 1st, 2012
11:43 am
Roll you damned Tide!
Tech CAN beat FSU and if the offense gets after it like they did against UNC they will have a chance. Free Shoes U. has a great bunch of athletes and our defense is going to need a couple of stops, but we might be able to outscore these guys.
These Tech kids, and I do mean kids, can do this, but they must play like their hair is on fire tonight to make it happen. Godhigh will need a good night upending defenders on the outside and the oline has to avoid penetration and get their cut blocks done to prevent pursuit. Defenders, get off your blocks and get in the fray: this is not a game to be invisible.
Sting 'em Jackets!

Coach Johnson is way better coach then CMR.
Only difference is CMR how found some way to pay the refs not to call holding so they could beat Tech. Sad, if he has to cheat he must not be that good of a coach.
Take away all the no calls for UGA and Tech blows them out.

Florida State has a great defense. They also have a great offense. The Jackets are defenseless. On offense, Tech has not been able to score many points against a strong defense. Case and Point; BYU, and UGA. This team does not pull upsets and it ain't happening today. I hate to sound like a non-supportive fan. I want to see the Jackets win and go to the Orange bowl as much as anyone else. But, it reality there is about as much chance today as last week. It would probably have to be a shoot out for the Jackets to have a chance. Florida State's defense won't let that happen.

@Wne..funny you bring up CMR..for the last 2 years and after the USC game..every dawg fan out there wanted to fire him..now you are praising him..UGA has a great record..but any real college fan knows that the stars have lined up for UGA this year..they beat UF by scoring less than 20 points and were given 6 gift..UGA has a 6 game winning streak against the 2 of the bottom teams of sec, a div 1-aa school and a GT team you are bashing..so tell why that 6 game win streak is so impresive..
December 1st, 2012

@wne..if I would have told you befoe the season started that we would go 5-3 in conf and be playing in the ACCCG you would have taken it..just shut up and cheer for our team
