Uni-Theater® 3-in-1 Flat Panel Speaker
The Uni–Theater® is a minimalist's dream. Perfect for flat–panel displays, this innovative home theater solution brings you three channels of sound–left, center and right–and a room full of high fidelity, 360º sound in one horizontal cabinet.
Independent left, center and right speakers housed in one ingenious design
Lifestyle and flat-panel friendly design, with refreshingly crisp sonic character
Modern, unobtrusive cabinet available in brushed aluminum black
Each chamber has a 3-inch woofer, dual 3-inch passive radiators and a 0.75-inch tweeter
Boundary compensation switch adjusts low-frequency response for wall or stand mounting
A One-Stop Shop for Audio
Easier than buying separate audio components, our Uni-Theater® puts three speakers—left, center and right channels—into one sleek cabinet, making it a no muss, no fuss purchase decision. Better yet, it captures the best of both worlds by looking great and not sounding like a lifestyle-friendly speaker at all.
Featuring high quality materials and exclusive technology, the Uni-Theater easily lets you enjoy immersive 360º music and movie performances from anywhere in your room. It handles front and rear sound distribution, while also conveying surround effects. It's everything you need in one fell swoop, and it's available in brushed aluminum black. And, while it complements flat-panel televisions perfectly, it also fits seamlessly into your room.
The Uni-Theater also offers placement ease. It comes with a flush-mountable wall bracket, allowing the speaker to protrude only as far as a standard flat-panel display. But if wall mounting isn't in the cards, the Uni-Theater also includes a plate-glass and metal table stand that makes the speaker appear as if it's "floating" above the base. A two-position boundary compensation switch on the back of the unit adjusts low-frequency response, allowing for unbeatable performances on or off the wall.
All in all, the Uni-Theater home audio solution single-handedly holds its own against many trios. Because we've managed to masterfully position three speaker channels into one horizontal cabinet that can handle both front and surround duties, this speaker is a minimalist's dream. For those who don't mind adding another speaker to the mix, you can pair the Uni-Theater with one of our subwoofers to round out the low end of the home theater experience.
3-in-1 Sound DNA
Performing as an integrated LCR speaker, the Uni-Theater is an incredibly flexible and incredibly powerful design. After just one listen, you'll discover its scale resembles that of being in a large auditorium or live concert arena.
A two-way design, the speaker's extruded aluminum enclosure is divided into three independent chambers. Each chamber houses an active 3-inch woofer, two passive 3-inch polypropylene titanium deposit hybrid radiators and a 0.75-inch pure titanium hybrid tweeter. Each tweeter is mounted in our patented Omniguide module, allowing the speaker to work with your room, rather than against it. This module recreates the proper proportion of direct and reflected sound, so you can hear the most lifelike performances throughout your entire room. The two Omniguide modules that coincide with the left and right channels are slightly angled in order to reflect the sound to the side walls, resulting in a large and spacious soundstage.
While the Uni-Theater's main use is for home theater applications, it also creates dynamic 2-channel presentations. In addition, a second Uni-Theater mounted on the rear wall can create an astounding 6.1 home theater system with only two speakers and a subwoofer.

trace the circuit backwards to the point at which it branches to the fan and switch.
if the circuit doesn't continue on beyond the fan and switch, then undo the hot and neutral wires that branch to the fan and switch and leave them capped in the box.
if there's more stuff past the fan and switch, then just take the switch out of the circuit (cap the hot switch feed in the switch outlet box).
and always turn off the breaker before you start.

Solar2World initiative: 80 solar aid projects in five years20-12-12
In many rural areas of the world, there is no electricity – which also means there is no clean drinking water, no access to information, education or modern forms of communication. For five years exactly now, SolarWorld AG has been trying to remedy this situation, in a few cases at least, with its Solar2World initiative. The positive outcome: It was possible to implement more than 80 solar projects, together with partners from development aid organizations in many countries of Africa and South America.In total, SolarWorld supplied off-grid solar power systems with an overall capacity of around 450 kilowatts to aid projects in emerging and developing countries.
Together with associations, church groups and development organizations, SolarWorld AG provided solar panels and complete systems for hospitals, wells and water treatment plants, schools, streetlighting, training centers as well as nature reserves. The program focuses on Africa. "Africa is the poorest continent with the lowest electrification rate. The Solar2World program creates solar beacons which show how great the benefits are for development, health and quality of life of supplying off-grid areas with solar power," says Dr.-Ing. E. h. Frank Asbeck, CEO of SolarWorld AG. With every project, locals are trained in the use and maintenance of solar power systems in order to achieve a transfer of knowledge and to secure the sustainability of the project.
Vocational schools in Kenya, South Africa, Senegal, Niger, Benin, Ethiopia and Rwanda, where solar technicians are urgently needed, were equipped with the systems. An excellent example of this is the program in Fissel, Senegal: Lack of water in a community of over 35,000 inhabitants living in 28 villages poses a real threat to survival. SolarWorld is supporting a project initiated by Rotary International, which simultaneously seeks to tackle water shortage, malnutrition and poverty. 70 SolarWorld panels operate a water pump, which provides clean drinking water and water for the cultivation of vegetables, run as a cooperative, all year round. People's diets have improved significantly with the homegrown vegetables.
At the same time, this provides an additional source of income for around 500 people, since the women can sell the vegetables on the market. SolarWorld AG has supplied Haiti, which is prone to earthquakes and underdevelopment, with solar power systems with a total capacity of 100 kilowatts for hospitals and drinking water supply. Next year, the number of Solar2World projects is going to exceed the 100 mark. Twenty Solar2World projects are being implemented, with a further 20 planned. The first project to be launched in December 2007, in South Africa, was the installation of a solar-powered water pump. Today, it is still in operation in the Komsberg Wilderness Nature Reserve.Image material is available at www.solarworld.de/presse or on request from Laura Przybilla, email@example.com.
About SolarWorld AG: SolarWorld AG produces solar power systems and in doing so contributes to cleaner energy supply worldwide. The group located in Bonn employs approximately 3,000 people and carries out production in Freiberg, Germany and Hillsboro, USA. From raw material silicon to the solar power module, the company combines all stages of production – including their own research and development. Through an international distribution network, SolarWorld supplies customers all over the world with solar power modules and complete systems. The company maintains high social standards at all locations across the globe and has committed itself to resource and energy efficient production. It has been on the stock market since 1999 and is quoted in the technology index TecDax. SolarWorld achieved sales of about one billion euros for the fiscal year 2011.

Wales winger Hallam Amos is looking forward to testing himself against Alex Cuthbert when the Dragons face the Blues on Boxing Day.
The holiday derby will pitch Amos against one of the men ahead of him in the pecking order for national selection.
Only 19, Amos was capped against Tonga and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.
"It will be a good challenge," Amos told WalesOnline.
"I like pitting myself against the best and he is a Lions try-scoring Test winger and one of the best in the world, so it will be nice to see how I go against him.
"Hopefully I can stop him getting on the scoresheet. He does pop up with quite a few tries.
"Alex is obviously an amazing player, but with someone like him you know a bit more what he is going to do compared to the likes of Jordan Williams at the Scarlets or Shane Williams.
"You know what is coming really. But I don't really have a preference to be honest, when it comes to big or small opponents.
"I think it's nice to get your head around both and learn from both when you play against them.
"Alex is big, but he's also very quick over the first 40 metres."
Reflecting on his time with Wales, Amos acknowledged the step up regarding intensity in training and highlighted the work ethic of Leigh Halfpenny as an inspiration.
"The accuracy and intensity in training was a big thing," added Amos.
"With the Welsh squad, it is very switched on. Just looking at people like Leigh Halfpenny and George North, their professionalism is at another level really.
"Before the Tonga game, Halfpenny - one of the best players in the world - spent four hours on the laptop, three days before the game, just looking at Tonga.
"His attitude to training is superb. He is always the last one to leave the pitch, always doing extras and he is showing how effective it can be.
"The professionalism that Leigh, in particular, shows is something I haven't really seen before and hopefully it's something I can emulate and bring to my game."

Scripture says that the seven miracles that the apostle John highlighted were intended as signs. The message they carried is proof that Jesus was who He said, the Son of God!
And these miracles hold great relevance in our lives today. As Dr. Rogers said, "Their purpose is to deepen our trust in Him, not in the miracles themselves." They serve as signposts pointing to Jesus, showing that He was and is God's answer to your deepest need --- to your disappointments, doubts, disabilities, desires, despair, darkness, and death.
This book will change the way you view God and His work in our lives.
Sometimes God will seem to pull away from you. What is He up to?
Discouragement, doubt, disappointment—when these show up, be on the lookout for Someone Else.
Adrian Rogers shows you how the Word of God can burst aflame in your heart!
Are you going to claim that Jesus is the Only Way to God? Prepare for trouble.

while I appreciate this post there may be some more details required by the curious related to locking. The concurrency is implemented through locking and is an equally important as transactions. You may get some exposure here : http://crazy4db.blogspot.in/2012/03/transaction-locks.html

This is a beginner question:
Why is there no IF clause on the Commit and Rollback?
The example implies that it is built in and will not execute rollback unless there are errors.
I just want to double check that assumption is correct! Thanks

great information .... but there are drawbacks by using transaction is just we make our queries slower.
we should know where and how to use transactions.
- January 16, 2013 at 10:20 AM
- Erenor said...
@Jad Mattia: He said that:
"When to use database transaction
Whenever any operation falls under ACID criteria you should use transactions. Many real world scenarios require transaction mostly in banking, finance and trading domain."
Of course, every situation is different, you will have to analyse your case, your users and your needs, but in general, if transactions "should" be used, a proper hardware "should" be bought to support them :)

NEW YORK -- Payton Award finalists Taylor Heinicke, the record-setting quarterback from Old Dominion, and Eric Breitenstein, the 2,000-yard rusher from Wofford, were selected to The Associated Press FCS All-America team.
Heinicke had the most prolific passing season in the history of what used to be called Division I-AA football. The sophomore from Georgia passed for 5,076 yards and had 5,546 yards of total offense, breaking records set by the late Steve McNair when he was at Alcorn State in 1994.
''What Taylor did this year from an individual standpoint is nothing short of incredible,'' ODU coach Bobby Wilder said Wednesday.
''We build our system around our quarterback and what we feel like are his strengths. To run an offense that suits their needs. As (Heinicke) has gotten comfortable in our system, we've become more of a throwing team because of his comfort level.''
Directing the Monarchs' fast-paced spread, Heinicke also set FCS records for completions (398) and total plays (705). And Heinicke ran for 470 yards and 11 touchdowns.
''He understands our philosophy is to find a way to move the chains,'' Wilder said. ''If you need to run the ball, you run it to get a critical first down and those first downs lead to touchdowns. Protect the ball and find a way to move the chains.''
Heinicke did just that in September against New Hampshire when he passed for a Division I record 730 yards in a 64-61 victory. He threw 79 passes in that game without an interception.
Old Dominion finished 11-2 record, losing last week to Georgia Southern, 49-35, in the quarterfinals of the playoffs.
Breitenstein made his second consecutive appearance as a first-team All-American. The 230-pound senior fullback ran for 2,035 yards and 19 touchdowns this season.
The Walter Payton Award goes to the top player in FCS. Murray State quarterback Casey Brockman, the other finalist for the Payton Award, was picked second-team All-American.
Joining Heinicke and Breitenstein in the first-team backfield was Stony Brook's Miguel Maysonet, who ran for 1,964 and 21 touchdowns.
Eastern Illinois' Erik Lora and Elon's Aaron Mellette, ranked 1-2 in the nation in catches and yards receiving, were the receivers and Harvard's Kyle Juszczyk was the tight end.
A couple of guys who will be playing in this weekend's FCS semifinals highlight the offensive line.
Bill Turner and North Dakota State host Georgia Southern on Friday night and Will Post and Eastern Washington host Sam Houston State on Saturday.
The other linemen were Earl Watford from James Madison, Mike Sellers from The Citadel and Roger Gaines from Tennessee State.
The defense is led by Georgia Southern's 300-pound defensive tackle Brent Russell and Georgetown linebacker Robert McCabe, who leads the nation with 14.45 tackles per game.
Brandon Thurmond of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, the nation's leader with 17 1/2 sacks, joined Russell on the line along with Colton Underwood of Illinois State.
Montana State placed two players on the defense. End Caleb Schreibeis leads FCS with eight forced fumbles and linebacker Cody Owens was the Big Sky defensive player of the year.
New Hampshire linebacker Matt Evans, who was a second-team All-American last year, made the first team this year.
Defensive back Marcus Williams of North Dakota State joined Breitenstein as a two-time All-American and became the only defensive player to repeat this season.
North Dakota State and Montana State were the only teams to place two players on the first team.
The other defensive backs were Darnell Taylor of Sam Houston State, Jaquiski Tartt of Samford and Cooper Taylor of Richmond.
Walter Powell of Murray State was the all-purpose player. He had 1,213 yards receiving and more than 900 yards returning kicks and punts.
Patrick Murray of Fordham was the kicker and Sam Martin of Appalachian State was the punter.

Michael Irvin Keeping the Promise
The Former Dallas Cowboy reflects on success, scandal and salvation, and his undying passion for football and cigars.
Joel Drucker
From the Print Edition:
Antonio Banderas, Nov/Dec 2005
The cigar was the symbol of a series of promises. At least that was the way Michael Irvin saw it. There he was, the All-Pro wide receiver, the self-proclaimed "Playmaker" on the big-time National Football League dynasty of the '90s, the Dallas Cowboys. After a fallow decade, America's Team had been resurrected, the squeaky-clean, humble piety of Tom Landry and Roger Staubach jettisoned for the brash in-your-face arrogance of coach Jimmy Johnson and his former University of Miami star, the cocky Irvin. As all the pieces fell into place—as the Cowboys won their first Super Bowl in 14 years, then a second, then a third—Irvin basked in the glow of success. He loved the glory and the top-tier perks offered to an All-Pro football player in the Lone Star State. "We knew how the Cowboys did would even affect the Texas economy," says Irvin as he zips through the streets of suburban Dallas in his silver Mercedes SL55. "We were big; the Beatles, the Rat Pack of Texas." A smooth cigar was one great way to savor that glory. On Sunday nights, with the game still racking his ears and memories of each play ringing through his brain, Irvin would join his Cowboys buddies to decompress at places like the local Ruth's Chris Steak House. "You can't eat," says Irvin. "You're too hyped to get the food down. You need to play it out, let it go, relax and, most of all, be one of the boys." At first it was Leon Lett, the gregarious defensive end, who offered Irvin a taste of a vanilla cigar. "That was sweet, so delicious," says Irvin.
He and Leon, often joined by their buddy Emmitt Smith, the Cowboys' go-to running back, found the cigars an ideal way to chew over the game.
But even celebration of a battle well fought was secondary to Irvin's pride in having delivered on a promise he'd made years earlier to his father, Walter. Michael was one of 17 kids raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. While Michael was in his teens, Walter fell ill with throat and brain cancer. Michael, already starting to prove his prowess as a football star, was the one Walter selected to drive him to his doctor's appointments.
"I'd just gotten my driver's license, so I was just happy to get behind the wheel of our silver Chevy Caprice," says Irvin. "But my dad had something else in mind. He'd talk to me about manhood, and responsibility. I didn't really understand it at the time, but I remember this: One time he tried in our living room to get up, and he couldn't, and he broke his hip. He asked out loud—and he was big, 6 feet, 2 inches, 240 pounds—'How long can I deal with this?' It wasn't the pain he was talking about. It was the pain of having his family see him like this. So he and I would talk, and he said to me, 'You're going to do something great. But you've got to promise me you'll take care of your mother. Promise me that.' And then one day he said, 'I feel like going home on the morning train.' And that night, he died."
Irvin kept the promise. He earned a scholarship to the University of Miami, became an All-American receiver, and then threw himself heart and soul into his pro career. "What made Michael so special was the way he worked," says Troy Aikman, the Cowboys' quarterback from those years. "He practiced every day as if he was going up against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship."
All his life Irvin dreamed of being a famous performer and a superb athlete. With Dallas, in his own loud and diligent way, he'd struck gold in both areas. "Wide receivers are the ones at the end," says Irvin, "so we've got to make noise and work hard to get people to pay attention to us. But when they do, we better make things happen." By 1990, his third season, Irvin ranked on a par with the great Jerry Rice. He also revolutionized the wide receiver position, imposing a new level of physicality to running his patterns. Earning good money, he bought his mother a new house and gratefully assumed the role of family financial caretaker. "You can catch it and take that hit," he says, "or get back to the ghetto."
Back with Lett and Smith after the games, and also occasionally with Aikman, lineman Erik Williams or other teammates, enjoying the sweet taste of the vanilla cigars, Irvin savored how far he had come. " 'Let's be big boys' was the way I thought of it," says Irvin. "Let's have a Cognac and a cigar. To me, that was the ultimate way of being bourgeois—brothers from the ghetto being bourgeois. Leon would try to eat caviar and we'd crack up. Imagine that, raised on collard greens and here we're cooling out with a cigar."
There was time spent making other promises, too. No other sport requires more intricate forms of collaboration than football. "You need everyone to help everyone," says Irvin. "For me to make that catch, the other receiver needs to run his pattern, too, so that the defense is off-balance. I may be the one who makes the grab, but everyone contributes to it. So we'd sit down and get each other to commit to things we'd do during the games—all those little things that add up to great football." As the late hours of Sunday turned into the early hours of Monday, as the smoke wisped its way into the air, Irvin locked himself into one agreement after another. This was what it took to be a champion. This was what it took to succeed. It was all so simple.
Life became more complicated for Michael Irvin on October 10, 1999. That was the day he suffered a career-ending neck injury in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Though he'd always imagined he'd have to be dragged off the field, he'd always thought that was a silly fantasy, and certainly one that wouldn't happen when he was a mere 33 years old. He finished his career with 750 catches and 65 touchdowns. Eligible for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time in 2005, Irvin failed to get voted in, but it's expected he'll make it to the Hall in due time.
Nearly six years after that fateful day, Irvin's sitting in a Dallas seafood restaurant, eating from a bowl of gumbo, sipping water, staggered by how fast fame comes and goes. Over the course of the meal, a few fans politely wave, say hello and wish him well. Irvin is kind to them all. He remembers how he lived for the chance to get in the face of the opposing defensive back, make the big catch and bring the crowd to its feet. "Fans may watch a movie," he says, "but with us, with football, they live a game. You do that in front of millions, it's like nothing you can ever imagine feeling."

MOSCOW. (RIA Novosti commentator Tatyana Sinitsyna) - Russia and Kazakhstan have signed an agreement to set up the International Uranium Enrichment Center. The document formalized the two countries' uranium processing cycle, from the production of uranium ore to its refining into low enriched uranium.
jamiebk wrote:My thought is that if they ever attempted to use them (nukes) the world, (not just the US) would retaliate in masse and blast them off the face of the earth...the country would look like one giant glass mirror from space. Do they want to risk that? Probably not considering the still limited capability they would have.
analog wrote:Fascinating post, B'Jon......
That is an interesting prospect. Neighborhood nukes.
The shielding (typically concrete, maybe some lead) would be too heavy to move by helicopter, but the plant itself might well be portable. It could be set underground. Assuming they're fission reactors, they'll build an inventory of radioactive waste. Were one sabotaged it could create a bit of a mess.
As power plants go It is very small. Definitely neighborhood or village sized.
The article didn't say if 200kw is electric or thermal output. (Electric output will be roughly 1/3 thermal.) The place I worked, a medium sized central station, was 2,200,000 kilowatts thermal - some 11,000 times more than the little Toshiba.
I am told that back in the fifties, the US Army made some portable nuke power plants about that Toshiba's size, mounted them on semi trailers. They would provide field power without having to constantly truck in diesel fuel which is probably a handy feature in a war. One was used at the Antarctic research station as well. I don't know how they shielded the people, probably with distance.
The US military once built a reactor to heat air for jet engines thinking it'd make for a VERY long range bomber. The reactor was trial fitted into a B-36 but I've never heard of it's being flown. I think they decided the plane couldn't carry enough shielding to protect the crew.
Little nukes - maybe they'll work out.

"With this incentive package, we're giving our customers a way to bring some of that excitement to their delegates while taking advantage of a great deal."
Since President Obama is the 44th president of the United States, the deal centers on the number 44. Planners who book a meeting with 1,000 or more room nights between now and March 2010 get the following incentives: 44 percent off convention center rental fees, a 44-minute reception with 44-cent beer and wine, 44 meal options priced at $44 each, 44 free tabletop exhibits, a free drawing at 4:44 p.m. each day of the conference, and a $44 rental fee when you book multiple qualifying meetings within 18 months.
In addition, 36 area hotels are offering incentives to those who qualify. They include waived attrition fees, free Internet within the block, one comp room per 35 booked, 15 percent off audiovisual services, 10 percent off the group's food and beverage bill, and 10 percent off attendees-related personal expenses (such as in-room dining, restaurant dining, spa services, business center, etc.).
"Travel and tourism are immensely important especially during a struggling economy," said Gregory O'Dell, CEO and general manager at the Washington Convention Center Authority, in a press release. "We have a strong commitment to working with our partners at Destination DC and the city's hotel community to create attractive short-term incentives to increase booking meetings in the nation's capital."

The newest of these is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v, which will launch in Australia in mid-April through Vodafone. Samsung is serious about the tablet market — the company will also launch the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and a thinner, lighter version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the same name. Both of these new Android tablets will hit Australia sometime between July and September.
Along with the Galaxy Tab, the iPad 2 will face competition from the Motorola Xoom, RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook, the HTC Flyer and LG's Optimus Pad — all of which are expected to launch this year.
Sony deserves credit for trying something different in a market full of devices that offer minimal distinguishing features. However, its Tablet P doesn't succeed due to an inconsistent user experience, mediocre battery life and a design that makes it uncomfortable to hold and use. This one is sadly best avoided.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
