On the asymptotic solution to the integral equations corresponding to the scattering by metallic disks91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403710View Description Hide Description
For the steady‐state problem of the scattering of plane electromagnetic waves by metallic disks, the leading order term of the high‐frequency asymptotic expansion of the surface current density is found. For the far‐field coefficient, good agreement is found with numerical results for both amplitude and phase.
Three‐dimensional source field modeling by self‐consistent Gaussian beam superposition91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403711View Description Hide Description
A self‐consistent superposition of Gaussians on a discretized (configuration)‐(wave number) phase space lattice has recently been applied to two‐dimensional wave propagation into an elastic solid [Felsen e t a l., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 8 9, 63 (1991)]. It is here generalized to three dimensions by modeling the radiation from planar finitely extended two‐dimensional source distributions into an elastic solid. A distribution of forces over the source aperture is expanded self‐consistently into Gaussian basis elements, which are then propagated into the unbounded medium. Numerical results are presented for simple smoothly tapered and abruptly truncated source profiles. As for the two‐dimensional case, the validity of complex‐source‐point modeling of the Gaussians is explored by comparing the fields obtained from them with those generated by an independent numerical reference solution. Moreover, it is demonstrated how different self‐consistent choices of beams affect the convergence of the Gaussian series expansion.
Source signature and elastic waves in a half‐space under a semicircular source of a nonuniformly spatially distributed impulsive load91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403712View Description Hide Description
The half‐space elastic response to a source of a nonuniformly spatially distributed impulsive load is presented in this paper. Specifically, an infinite semicircular canyon of a finite radius is embedded in the surface of the half‐space where an impulsive load is radially distributed over the entire surface of the canyon. The spatial distribution of this load is such that the load is maximum at the axis of symmetry of the half‐space and then descends smoothly to zero at the stress‐free surface of the half‐space. In an earlier work, the author gave an analytical‐numerical method for transient multicurvilinear dimensional boundary‐value problems and its employment to the present problem. Here, the resultant transient deformation of the half‐space is described and interpreted. In particular, a detailed discussion is devoted to the appearance of spatially stationary strong discontinuity fronts in the interior of the deformed half‐space. These fronts, which disclose the nature of the prescribed source of disturbance, are called here the source signature. A complete account is then given of the waves emitted from the source signature and those generated by boundary conditions, all revealing themselves explicitly by the solution method.
Sound scattering by a cylindrical shell reinforced by lengthwise ribs and walls91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403713View Description Hide Description
An analytical solution is derived for the acoustic response of submerged thin‐walled ring cylindrical shell containing lengthwise stiffening members: internal stringers and walls. On the basis of the analysis of the acoustic pressure versus time diagrams the stiffener‐borne wave‐generation mechanisms are traced. Shown is that the shell/stiffener junctions act as additional entry and exit points of circumferential waves circulating in the shell and the fluid. The stiffening members cause transformations of circumferential waves from one propagation type to another.
Analysis of acoustic scattering in fluids and solids by the method of fundamental solutions91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403714View Description Hide Description
The method of fundamental solutions (MFS) is a boundary method for the numerical solution of certain elliptic boundary value problems. In the MFS, the approximate solution is a linear combination of fundamental solutions of the governing partial differential equation, with singularities placed outside the domain of the problem. In the present paper, the MFS is applied to acoustic scattering in fluids. The singularities are allowed to move during the solution process from arbitrary locations to more optimal locations. Numerical results demonstrate that the ''fictitious eigenfrequency'' difficulty encountered with the boundary element method(BEM) is not present in the MFS. In addition, MFS results obtained by the use of fixed singularities are presented for scattering of waves in elastic solids.
A method to overcome computational difficulties in the exterior acoustics problem91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403715View Description Hide Description
When the boundary integralequation method is applied to exterior acoustics problems, singularities occur in the resulting algebraic equations at various frequencies associated with the eigenvalues of an interior problem. These frequencies are referred to as ''forbidden,'' and various methods have been devised to overcome the computational difficulties presented at these frequencies. The work presented here is an extension to the CHIEF method in that higher derivatives, in addition to the function itself, are constrained to be zero at selected points in the interior domain. Whereas the relative success of either method depends on the quantity and selection of interior points, the SuperCHIEF method requires fewer interior points and is less sensitive to point selection, resulting in improved robustness without a significant increase in computational complexity.
Midfrequency enhancement of the backscattering of tone bursts by thin spherical shells91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403716View Description Hide Description
A broad enhancement of the form function f(k a) for steady‐state backscattering by thin spherical shells in the midfrequency range has been noted by several investigators. Consequences of this enhancement on the backscattering of tone bursts are investigated with a Fourier synthesis of the temporal response from the exact f(k a). The emphasis is on incident bursts that are sufficiently short so that scattering consists primarily of distinct echoes associated with the specular reflection and different circumnavigations of a dominant surface guided wave. That wave lies on the subsonic branch of the lowest antisymmetric Lamb mode for a fluid‐loaded shell designated as a 0 − by some authors. A ray method, previously verified for echo amplitudes from leaky (or supersonic) Lamb waves on thick shells [S. Kargl and P. Marston, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 8 5, 1014–1028 (1989)], is generalized to subsonic waves. The ray method well approximates echo amplitudes from the Fourier synthesis provided the incident burst is sufficiently long that effects of dispersion are weak. Over a broad frequency range, the amplitude of the earliest a 0 −echo is enhanced relative to the specular echo. For the 2.5% thick stainless steel shell in water considered, the enhancement factor peaks near k a≊46 where the amplitude ratio ≊3.1. The ray theory suggests that the peak ratio depends only weakly on shell thickness and material parameters provided certain conditions hold. The a 0 − wave is also found to contribute a prominent wave packet to the far‐field impulse response of the shell. The radiation damping and velocity of relevant surface waves were computed from the complete elastic equations and those results may be helpful for testing thin shell approximations near the coincidence frequency.
Equivalent boundary conditions for thin orthotropic layer between two solids: Reflection, refraction, and interface waves91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403717View Description Hide Description
Boundary conditions for an interface between two solids are introduced to model a thin orthotropic interface layer. The plane of symmetry of the layer material coincides with the incidence plane. Boundary conditions relating stresses and displacements on both sides of the interface are obtained from an asymptotic representation of the three‐dimensional solutions for an interface layer whose thickness is small compared to the wavelength. The results for anisotropicboundary conditions are a generalization of our previous results [S. I. Rokhlin and Y. J. Wang, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 8 9, 505–515 (1991)] for an isotropic viscoelastic layer. The interface boundary conditions obtained contain interface stiffness and inertia and terms involving coupling between normal and tangential stresses and displacements. The applicability of such boundary conditions is analyzed by comparison with exact solutions for reflection. As in the isotropic case, fundamental boundary‐layer conditions are introduced containing only one transverse or normal mass or stiffness. It is shown that the solution for more accurate interface boundary conditions, which include two inertia elements and two stiffness elements, can be decomposed into a sum of fundamental solutions. Interface waves along such an interface are considered. Characteristic equations for these waves are obtained in closed form for different types of approximate boundary conditions and the velocities calculated from them are compared to the exact solution. It is shown that retention of the terms describing coupling between normal and transverse stresses and displacements is essential for calculating the velocity of an antisymmetric interface wave.
A computationally efficient representation for propagation of elastic waves in anisotropic solids91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403699View Description Hide Description
A new closed‐form representation is developed for the exact solution of the Christoffel equation for wave propagation in solids. The new representation is numerically more efficient than the traditional representations based on the use of Fourier and Laplace transforms. Using the new representation, the retarded Green's functions are derived for an infinite anisotropic solid and an anisotropic half‐space. The method is applied to calculate the elastic‐wave response of an anisotropic cubic solid to highly localized delta function and step function type impulses. Both surface and bulk wave responses have been calculated. The effect of anisotropy is discussed by considering cubic solids with different anisotropy parameters. Interestingly, it is found that, for certain values of the anisotropy parameter, two distinct longitudinally polarized components can be observed to propagate along an axis of cubic symmetry. One of the signals is the normal longitudinal wave signal while the other results from the concave shape of the transverse slowness surface.
The effect of irregularity on the scattering of acoustic waves from a ribbed plate91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403700View Description Hide Description
The scattered field from an irregularly ribbed fluid‐loaded plate is ''measured'' using numerical simulations. The diffuse field scattered by the irregularity exhibits strong coherent features in the far‐field scattering pattern associated with phase matching to locally propagating Bloch waves on the structure. These features are also apparent in the scattering from finite periodic arrays, but are strongly enhanced by irregularity. Some examples of the behavior of the system are presented and the scaling of the cross section with the number of scatterers and irregularity is determined.
Modeling air‐to‐water sound transmission using standard numerical codes of underwater acoustics91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403701View Description Hide Description
Recently, it was shown that a normal modeunderwater acoustic propagation code can be modified to model air‐to‐water sound transmission simply by altering the mode excitation coefficients [D. M. F. Chapman and P. D. Ward, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 8 7, 601–618 (1990)]. Herein, it is shown that if the height of the source above the surface is sufficiently small, then the air‐to‐water transmission problem can be modeled by replacing the source in air with a source in water at a depth d≪λ below the surface, where λ is the acoustic wavelength in water. For a distant receiver in water, both the true source in air and the effective source in water exhibit nearly identical dipole radiation patterns, although the source strengths are different. The correct transmission loss from the source in air can be recovered by adding the quantity 20 log10(k a d), where k a is the wave number in air. Using this approach, numerical results for three standard underwater acousticmodels(normal mode, multipath expansion, parabolic equation) are compared to benchmark results provided by the SAFARI model for a generic air‐to‐water transmission example.
Reflection and transmission coefficients in fluid‐saturated porous media91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403702View Description Hide Description
Using Biot's theory to describe the propagation of elastic waves in a fluid‐saturated porous elasticsolid (a Biot medium), the reflection and transmission coefficients were computed at a plane interface between a fluid and a Biot medium and at interfaces inside a Biot medium defined by either a change in saturant fluids or in the intrinsic rock permeability. The reflection and transmission coefficients were computed with and without the inclusion of a frequency correction factor that according to Biot has to be introduced in the equations above a certain critical frequency (''frequency‐dependent'' versus ''classic model''). For a fluid–Biot medium interface and in the range 5 kHz–10 MHz for the example analyzed the two models show differences of the order of 11% for the reflection coefficients and between 11% and 31% for the type I, type II, and shear transmission coefficients. For the interfaces within a Biot medium, and for type II incident waves, in the same range of frequencies the cases examined showed differences in the reflection and transmission coefficients in the range 5%–80%. Because of the asymptotic properties of the frequency correction factor, the reflection and transmission coefficients coincide at very low and high frequencies. The analysis shows the importance of the inclusion of the frequency correction factor in analyzing wave propagation in Biot media for frequencies lying between the seismic and ultrasonic ranges.
Acoustically forced oscillations of air bubbles in water: Experimental results91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403703View Description Hide Description
An experimental technique for measuring the time‐varying response of an oscillating, acoustically levitated air bubble in water is developed. The bubble is levitated in a resonant cell driven in the (r,θ,z) mode of (1,0,1) at a frequency f d ≊24 kHz. Linearly polarized laser light (Ar–I 488.0 nm) is scattered from the bubble, and the scattered intensity is measured with a suitable photodetector positioned at some known angle from the forward, subtending some solid acceptance angle. The output photodetector current, which is linearly proportional to the light intensity, is converted into a voltage, digitized, and then stored on a computer for analysis. For spherical bubbles, the scattered intensity I exp(t) as a function of radius R and angle θ is calculated theoretically by solving the boundary value problem (Mie theory) for the water/bubble interface. The inverse transfer function R(I) is obtained by integrating over the solid angle centered at some constant θ. Using R(I) as a look‐up table, the radius versus time [R(t)] response is calculated from the measured intensity versus time [I exp(R,t)]. Fourier and phase space analyses are applied to individual R(t) curves. Resonance response curves are also constructed from the R(t) curves for equilibrium radii ranging from 20 to 90 microns, and harmonic resonances are observed. Comparisons are made to a model for bubble oscillations developed by Prosperetti e t a l. [Prosperetti e t a l., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 8 3, 502 (1988)]. Complex I exp(t) behavior is also measured, with subharmonics and broadband noise apparent in the Fourier spectra. Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed, including shape oscillations and chaos.
Acoustic wave propagation in a fluid‐filled borehole drilled in an unbounded viscoelastic medium91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403704View Description Hide Description
The problem of acoustic wave propagation in a fluid‐filled borehole drilled in an unbounded viscoelastic medium excited by a point source on the axis is solved in the lowest order of approximation when the viscosity is much smaller than the elasticity. The fluid inside the borehole is assumed to be inviscid. Decay constants for various wave types are obtained. They are all proportional to ω2. The full wavetrain of the Green's function (the fundamental solution) is derived and the space‐time waveform plotted. The spectra of head waves are discussed in detail. The influence of the source spectrum on the full wavetrain is described only qualitatively. The spectrum of a full wavetrain observed by a long spaced logging tool in a production borehole is presented to show the general feature mentioned in the text.
Ray chaos in underwater acoustics91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403677View Description Hide Description
Generically, in range‐dependent environments, the acoustic waveequation cannot be solved by techniques which require that variables be separated. Under such conditions, the acoustic ray equations, which have Hamiltonian form, are nonintegrable. At least some ray trajectories are expected to exhibit chaotic motion, i.e., extreme sensitivity to initial and environmental conditions. These ideas are illustrated numerically using simple models of the ocean sound channel with weak periodic range dependence. The use of Poincaré sections, power spectra, and Lyapunov exponents to investigate and characterize ray chaos are discussed. The practical importance of chaotic ray trajectories—a limitation on one's ability to make deterministic predictions using ray theory—is emphasized.
Acoustic ray chaos induced by mesoscale ocean structure91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403678View Description Hide Description
It has previously been shown that some acoustic ray trajectories in oceanmodels with periodic range dependence exhibit chaotic behavior, thereby imposing a limit on one's ability to make deterministic predictions using ray theory. The objective of the work reported here is to quantify the limitations of ray theory to make predictions of underwater sound fields in the presence of realistic mesoscale structure. This is done by numerically investigating sound ray propagation in an analytically prescribed sound speedmodel consisting of Munk's canonical profile perturbed by a randomly phased superposition of several baroclinic modes of the linearized quasigeostrophic potential vorticity equation. The ray equations used are consistent with the parabolic wave equation. To investigate ray chaos, power spectra are calculated and Lyapunov exponents are estimated. For realistic strengths of the mesoscale field, near‐axial ray trajectories are found to be chaotic with characteristic e‐folding distances (inverse Lyapunov exponents) of several hundred km. Steep rays, on the other hand, are found to be stable. This suggests that, in the presence of mesoscale structure, deterministic predictions of near‐axial underwater acoustic energy using ray theory are limited to ranges of one to two thousand km, while steep rays should be predictable over longer ranges.
Scintillation index of the acoustic field forward scattered by a rough surface for two‐ and three‐dimensional scattering geometries91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403679View Description Hide Description
Scintillation indices of acoustic waves forward scattered by a rough surface are obtained from numerical techniques leading to both accurate and approximate results in two‐dimensional (2‐D) and three‐dimensional (3‐D) geometries. The Kirchhoff approximation with a Gaussian spectrum and an empirical model for ocean surface height fluctuations is used. It is found that in the case of a Gaussian spectrum, the 3‐D accurate values obtained are lower than the 2‐D ones when the focusing–defocusing phenomenon does not occur. However when this phenomenon occurs, the 3‐D results become higher than the 2‐D ones. In the case of the empirical spectrum, both 2‐D and 3‐D accurate scintillation indices decrease with the wind speed on the ocean surface. The 2‐D model predicts larger values than the 3‐D model. When an ensonification factor or finite incident beam size is introduced, the scattering moves from the saturation limit into the focusing–defocusing range.
Fluctuations of high‐frequency shallow‐water seafloor reverberation91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403680View Description Hide Description
High‐frequency shallow‐water reverberation statistics were measured from a seafloor that was covered by a thick layer of coarse shells. The reverberation statistics are presented as a function of frequency (20–180 kHz), grazing angle (8.8°–28°), and source beamwidths (1.2°–16°). In most cases the reverberation statistics did not follow a Rayleigh fading model. The model dependence of the reverberation statistics ranged from near Gaussian (high grazing angle) to beyond log normal (low grazing angle). The results suggest that small scale variations in bottom scattering properties and system beamwidth will significantly change the model dependence of the reverberation statistics.
Sea surface dipole sound source dependence on wave‐breaking variables91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403681View Description Hide Description
Estimates of the surface dipole sound source spectrum per unit watersurface area were obtained from 40–4000 Hz and related to environmental parameters characterizing the wind and wave fields. The results give additional credence to the role of entrapped air bubbles and bubble clouds in the generation of acoustic ambient and indicate a change in the entrainment mechanism when the watersurface transitions from aerodynamically ''smooth'' to ''rough.'' The measured dipole sound source spectrum, when scaled by the gravity wave equilibrium range wave‐breaking rate of energy dissipation appears to be a self‐similar function dependent only on the acoustic frequency nondimensionalized by the frequency of peak acoustic spectral level.
Determining the extinction cross section of aggregating fish91(1992); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.403682View Description Hide Description
When fish are aggregated over a flat bottom, and fish and bottom echoes can be distinguished, it is possible to determine the fish extinction cross section by a simple application of the echo integration method. The theory for this is developed. Measurements at 38 kHz are presented for aggregations of the same 1983‐year class of herring over flat‐bottomed fjord areas in 1988, 1990, and 1991. The ratio of extinction and backscattering cross sections is found to lie in the approximate range from 1.2–2.3, depending on fish size and time of day.

STEAM HEAT: H&M went for an "old East London" look in its latest campaign for David Beckham Bodywear, with photographer Josh Olins capturing the shirtless soccer stud in a tiled locker room. The ads break today in print, online, in windows and in stores. The collection, Beckham's fourth, is carried in all of H&M's more than 2,800 doors in 49 countries.
"No matter how many campaigns I do for H&M, I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing my image on huge billboards everywhere," Beckham confessed to WWD.
This story first appeared in the August 22, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The athlete, who used to whisk through the Bristol hotel in Paris in gray sweats and sweaters during his recent stint with the Paris Saint-Germain team, said the collection of raglan-sleeve knits, sweat pants and tank tops reflect his personal wardrobe favorites.
"When I started my bodywear range with H&M, I wanted it to be based around a core range of products that are available all year round," he said. "As we go into winter, it's great to have pieces for lounging with family and friends at home."
H&M declined to reveal its media spend for the steamy spots but noted that its marketing budget is around 3.5 percent of group sales, excluding VAT. That means in its last fiscal year, H&M would have spent about $621.5 million on marketing.

Hello, I have a problem when I access to my blog on a WAN network, which is that templates, images, posts, ..., can't be shown because its links (URLs) are absolute and includes the LAN IP.
I haven't this problem on a LAN network.
Is there any way to convert the URIs to relative? How to fix that?
Best regards.

We stayed here with our daughter and two Labs. Check-in was easy, and the two young ladies working at Big Bear Vacations were friendly and helpful. The cabin was clean and large, and we felt that it was a good value. Their dog and cleaning policy (fees) were more reasonable than other cabins we have stayed at in Big Bear. The location is good and makes for a quick trip to the zoo or ski resorts. There was no snow when we were there, but I highly recommend the zoo and Alpine Slide if you have kids. Also, the deli that you pass on the way to the cabin is a great lunch spot.
We would definitely stay here again.
*Good fenced yard for dogs and kids.

Join Couchsurfing to see Anika's full profile. It's free!
About Me
find the MOST BEAUTIFUL place on earth, then work hard and safe enough to built my dreamhouse with attached hostel, veg-restaurant & organic farm! Create my own paradise and share it with likeminded :)
Well, I`m an adventurer. I guess that´s the best word to describe me. I went travelling the world just after I finished highschool and had such great experiences and met so many nice people that I never wanted to stop it. Today I have been travelling for more than 5 years in which I have seen a third of the countries in the world. Every now and then I stay in a place and work for a bit, but I will always have to keep travelling more parts of the world, it`s the only thing what keeps me happy and alive in the long-term and where I can be myself:)
If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. We need not wait to see what others do.(Gandhi)
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love talking to people. I never studied at university and believe that you "study" much better by just being out there in the world, so I try to pass my experiences to others. People are creating the world.
Did couchsurfing for a couple of times with friends and by myself, which was both quite an experience. Unfortunately guys can be a little creepy in Asia and I would`t do it again or recommend it to any other single girl travelling. We hosted some people in our tiny apparment in Canada as well as in Scotland and it was fun seeing the other side this time.
Travelling. While doing that, yoga, hiking, diving, skiing, meditating, writing, reading, playing music, gardening, building, painting, dancing Tango, taking pictures, spending time with animals, cooking (I became a vegetarian in India, because this is the place in the world where everything is not hidden but happening right in front of you) making friends in every country, experiencing new cultures, learning new languages and whatever else comes up spontaneously.

Music, Movies, and Books
During "unnormal life" it`s hard to find time for those things. Either I am working hard staying at one place or moving around the world. But if, I like books which teach you something, world literature and movies which let you forget everything else over a romantic night with your partner.. Music depends on the situation, sometimes there are those songs which make you so enthuasiastic about something - I love driving down the highway, singing in the campervan "It`s my life, it`s now or never, I`m not gonna live forever..."
One Amazing Thing I've Done
This field is too short for the lots of amazing things I ´ve seen. But for sure I'll tell you some of them in person :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Respect everyone. Every person has it`s reasons and causes for being how they are and acting how they act. Just try to understand and feel compassion for them. That`s all.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I just got certified as a yoga teacher in India and would be very happy to give you a class of Hatha or Ashtanga yoga ;-) I'm also happy to share my language knowledge or cooking recipes with you as well as give you travel tips for your next destination.…

Sentiment: Hold
Just an opinion...I think the real question is when Greece returns to the drachma, that if this becomes nationalized and/or 're-organized', in both cases goes to 0. However, if neither, then there is no reason this couldn't go to 30.

A CEO Steps Up Weight Loss By Exercising His Inner 'Rocky'
"If someone says you can lose 20 pounds in the course of a year by punching a bag, then I'm signing up," says Stephen Stoute, the 39-year-old chief executive of Carol's Daughter beauty and skin-care line. "There's a Rocky in all of us."
Mr. Stoute did just that—except he dropped nearly 100 pounds over the course of nine years.
Mr. Stoute was in top shape in his teens and early 20s, playing football in both high school and college. "Once I got into the professional world, health was not at the forefront of things on my mind," says Mr. Stoute, who was executive vice president of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. The pounds slowly started to creep on and by age 30 he weighed 315 pounds.
"I was avoiding mirrors and ignoring it," he says. But when he turned 30 he realized he couldn't turn a blind eye to his weight anymore: "I knew it would end badly."
Mr. Stoute started boxing sporadically and lost 50 pounds in about five years. After that, he hit a plateau. So two years ago, he decided to step it up a notch by doing high-intensity boxing four to five times a week, losing another 40 pounds to reach his current weight. In May, the 6-foot-tall executive hit 225 pounds on the scale. "In the past I felt like my body always just wanted to be fat," he says, "but now I feel like I'm at a healthy weight that I can stay at without any crash diet."
Mr. Stoute lives and works in New York City. He has a 4-year-old daughter.
The Workout:
Mr. Stoute works out at Aerospace, a boxing-focused fitness studio in Manhattan. He usually takes a 60-minute group class on Wednesdays and Saturdays that incorporates speed bags, heavy bags and double-end bags, which look like speed bags fastened to the floor and ceiling by a cord and are designed to increase speed and decrease reaction time. Mr. Stoute and his classmates don hand wraps and boxing gloves and rotate around a room practicing jabs, hooks, upper cuts and kicks. "You can be a great boxer or a novice, but everyone leaves with the same look on their face: whoa," he says.
Three days a week, Mr. Stoute will also do hourlong, one-on-one training sessions with Michael Olajide Jr., a former top-ranked middleweight boxer who co-founded the gym. "Those individual sessions are really educational," he says. "You really learn how to throw proper blocks and punches. And while you're learning, you put in a lot of sweat."
In a typical session, Mr. Stoute practices all of the basic punches: jabs, hooks, upper cuts and crosses. He will then do sequences, sometimes putting 60 consecutive moves together. The two men will often go into the ring and spar. Mr. Stoute says he has noticed more definition in his arms and torso from the workouts, and that it's also improved his eye-hand coordination.
After each boxing session, Mr. Stoute will spend 15 minutes doing pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups.
The Diet:
As Mr. Stoute started losing weight due to exercise, he started making healthier food choices. "People start saying, 'You've lost weight—you look so good.' After that you don't want to be caught eating a cheeseburger," he says.
Mr. Stoute will eat one bowl of Special K cereal topped with blueberries, strawberries or bananas for breakfast. He used to take his cereal with whole milk, but now uses skim. For lunch he will often order sashimi or a salad with tuna fish, hot peppers, tomatoes and onions. Mr. Stoute goes out for work dinners about four evenings a week and will try to order a healthier entree such as chicken or fish. If he gets steak, he'll eat a smaller portion. He also always orders a vegetable with his main course.
Football season is Mr. Stoute's Achilles' heel when it comes to eating healthy and he lets Sundays be his "cheat day." "All of a sudden there is beer and carbs," he says. "But if I do it one day a week and in moderation, then I don't feel guilty."
Cost and Gear:
Mr. Stoute's gym membership costs $150 a month, and each one-on-one training session costs $200. He spent about $100 on his boxing gloves. When he isn't in the ring he wears Nike Shox running shoes; in the ring he wears a pair of Adidas Y-3 high-top sneakers. "There are pretty stylish people there so I pay attention to what I wear," he says.
Fitness Tip:
Mr. Stoute's secret to staying fit: drink water. "I don't think most people realize the huge role that drinking water plays in weight loss," he says. "Drink it throughout the day. Drink it instead of juice, soda, sports drinks, which all just add calories."
Quick Fix:
When Mr. Stoute is traveling, he will use the gym at his hotel and do 45 minutes of cardio on the elliptical or treadmill, or a combination of the two. If he has just five minutes, Mr. Stoute grabs a jump rope for a super quick, calorie-burning cardio session.
The Playlist:
Mr. Stoute says he gets revved up to any song from his days in the record industry. "Any rap records from the early-to-mid-'90s puts me in a very youthful mood," he says, "Jay-Z, the Notorious B.I.G., Wu-Tang Clan, Nas—anything from that era makes me feel 26 years old again."

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin
1. The Texas Longhorns have come full circle this season. At the start of the season, nobody was talking about them. They rose during a dramatic run to No. 1 in the nation after a stunning victory over Oklahoma. They came one second from making history, nearly becoming the first team since 1943 to beat four straight teams ranked 12th or higher.And now, they are in serious danger of being overlooked in the national title hunt despite sustaining only one loss -- at the No. 2 team on a last-second breakdown. That's how excruciatingly small the margin of error is in football today. But Texas coach Mack Brown seems to have his accepted his fate. "If 35-7 against Kansas on the road isn't a good enough win for someone, we'll just go wherever they tell us to go," Brown said.
2. Baylor linebacker Joe Pawelek might be the most underrated player in the conference. It was fitting that Pawelek saved his best for Texas A&M on Saturday. Pawelek contributed seven tackles and two interceptions, including an end-zone pick. His unique talents in pass coverage are reminiscent of a player that any old-school Aggie fan could identify with -- Jack Pardee.
3. Can Colorado compete for the North title next season? The North should be wide open as Chase Daniel leaves Missouri, Joe Ganz departs from Nebraska and Josh Freeman likely could leave Kansas State. I've tended to think that Colorado was the team with the most returning pieces to have the best shot at winning. But with today's pinball-like scoring mentality in the conference, the Buffaloes need a more explosive passing offense. I don't think Cody Hawkins will cut it, meaning his father might face the tough choice of having to upgrade the position where his son is entrenched as a prime playmaker.
4. Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh is playing like the Big 12's best defensive player the last several weeks. And he's doing something that's extremely difficult by dominating from the defensive tackle position. Most defensive tackles tie up a couple of blockers and enable linebackers behind them to make plays. Suh is becoming such a force as the prime run-stopper for the Cornhuskers that he's leading his team in tackles. His development might be Bo Pelini's most striking transformation since he arrived.
5. Oklahoma State still has a lot to work on as its prepares for the "Bedlam Game" against Oklahoma. First, the Cowboys have to make sure that prime playmakers like Kendall Hunter and Brandon Pettigrew are healthy. And they also have to hope that their red-zone offense gets well in the next few days, too. Oklahoma State can't settle for field goals against the Sooners and expect to win in what should be a shootout in Stillwater.

Kari Gooch: The "Quirky" Member of Karen Peck and New RiverWritten by Staff on July 19, 2016 – 2:00 pm -
Younger Perspective on Kari Gooch: By Erin Stevens
A word from the writer…
I have kept you all waiting long enough for this exciting interview! I knew it was finally time to help you get to know the daughter of one of the most prestigious, highly awarded and well loved ladies of our Gospel music industry. Who else could I possibly be referring to other than Karen Peck Gooch? Today, let's dive into her darling daughter's life, the sweet Kari Gooch, and find out what roadie livin' looks like through her eyes.
It's your turn to take center stage, Kari…
Erin: What was it like growing up with your mom being such a prominent figure in Gospel music?
Kari: As I get older, I see how loved and respected my mom is in the industry. Honestly, she has just been mom to me. She has always been there for me, and has always tried to put my brother and me before anything else.
Erin: For those that may not know the backstory, share what your first night on stage was like.
Kari: About two years ago, my mom got sick and completely lost her voice. I have always been really shy, and the thought of going on stage and singing terrified me! However, when my mom lost her voice, my Aunt Susan came to me and asked if I would help her sing, and I've been on stage ever since. Sometimes I still get nervous when I have to sing, but I'm trying to work through that!
Erin: How would you describe what it's like being raised on a bus? Feel free to share pros and cons.
Kari: Being raised on the bus has definitely kept my life interesting! I practically learned to walk on a bus, so I have great balance. I'm really blessed to get to go different places every week, and to see things that most people my age have never seen. One downside to being raised on a bus is the space. When I was little, my brother, cousin, and I would try to think of different games to play. It's really hard to play hide and seek on a 45-foot bus.
Erin: If you could do a duet with anyone in the music industry (any genre) who would it be?
Kari: One of my favorite artists right now is Tori Kelly, so I'd love to do a duet with her.
Erin: Are there any good books you're reading lately that you'd like to share?
Kari: I am currently trying to finish up my freshman year of college, so most of the reading I do is studying for my classes. However, the last book I read for fun was "Good or God" by John Bevere.

Whisnant's Walk of Faith…Written by Staff on October 10, 2015 – 4:40 am -
The walk of faith is a long, winding, consistent road for the Christian. Sometimes we worry, sometimes we struggle to gather courage to tell a friend or co-worker about Jesus and sometimes…we even doubt our own salvation. It takes faith to overcome each concern, and that's something the Whisnants know all about, so they titled their 2015 release: Walk of Faith.
"It kind of summarizes our whole ministry really," says Jeff Whisnant. "You don't stay in ministry as long as we do without having a whole lot of faith."

Ronny Hinson: The Thread That Weaves It All TogetherWritten by Staff on September 19, 2015 – 6:55 am -
Ronny Hinson grew up in a home full of music. Folks from his little coastal hometown of Watsonville in Santa Cruz County, California, knew that the Hinson family had something special with their singing, but God knew just how far their songs would go and how many hearts would be changed by the message in them. Ronny Hinson's songwriting talents grew from this special musical beginning and have touched countless lives over the 48 years of his music career. Today Ronny writes music, instructs songwriters, and travels to sing and preach Biblical truths. No matter what he is doing, though, Ronny knows that there is one thread that weaves the many strings of his efforts into one lifeline: and that is the call to change lives for Christ.
Ronny recalls the special day that his family sang together for the first time. "All of my siblings and I grew up singing in my father's little storefront church and in revival meetings that he would conduct. We would always sing as soloists or we'd do a duet, but never all together. It was on December 12, 1967, that we sang beyond the walls of our father's church as the group that the people came to know. It happened in a revival meeting in a little Church of God in Freedom, California, through great efforts of arm-twisting! We sang the old song that The Goodman family made famous called 'The Eyes of Jesus.' We were all familiar with the words and the melody but never had sung it together in four-part harmony. Our singing was so well-received that night and we discovered what God already knew: that we were called to sing. We were invited to sing at another church about 40 miles away two weeks later where we received our first love offering. It was the grand sum of five dollars. Being siblings, we didn't trust each other so we split it four ways outside on the church sidewalk. A buck and a quarter apiece!"

Erin Stevens' Younger Perspective on Sarah Davison of HighRoadWritten by Staff on September 18, 2015 – 9:45 am -
A word from the writer…
As the heritage of Gospel music lives on in our hearts, it's the new faces answering the call that keep the dream alive. Such is the case with a newer group to many of us, the girls of HighRoad. I had the joy of meeting Sarah Davison, pianist and vocalist for the group back in April at Singing in the Sun. Sarah's love for the Lord and bubbly personality were the two things I quickly noted, along with her incredible, God-given talents on stage. So here we are, turning our attention to a sweet, born and raised Iowa girl, who just so happens to share in the same dream, to see this great music continue on from generation to generation. Take it away, Sarah!
Erin: Share with the readers how HighRoad got its start.
Sarah: HighRoad started after we graduated from college in Nashville. It began with just two of us doing home concerts and churches on Sundays, traveling in a little Honda all over the South! We took every chance to do it more, and now, we really feel that we are doing what we are called to do.
Erin: What is the story behind the name of the group?
Sarah: We decided on the name HighRoad back in 2010 when we first began singing and playing together. We brainstormed for a time and came up with this name after reading some scripture that said to set our sights on things above; to be 'heaven-minded and take the narrow path toward achieving the goal of seeing our Savior someday.' So the name HighRoad was a perfect fit – it says it all!
Erin: What was it like for an Iowa girl to travel all the way to the city of Nashville, and to attend college at Belmont University?
Sarah: Well, when I moved to Nashville, I had never even driven on an interstate. There are 180 people in the town where I grew up and we lived 10 miles outside that town! I was excited, yet terrified, but I knew that God had me here for a reason. I couldn't have done it without my supportive family back home and the care packages of cinnamon rolls from Mom! Attending Belmont was a huge blessing and opened many doors. Of course, that's where I first met the girls of HighRoad! I also interned at Universal Music Group during my senior year and after graduating I began working for country artist George Strait, at his management office. I learned so many valuable lessons by the work and people I met through school. I'm very thankful.
Erin: What was it like working with the masterful Ben Isaacs in the studio on your latest recording?
Sarah: We absolutely loved working with Ben. He is one of the most superb human beings and talented musicians I've ever met. Just being around him makes you want to do a good job playing and singing. We got to play our own instruments on this album too – that was a real treat for us. We look forward to sharing a lot more future memories with Ben and Mark in the studio.
Erin: Any 'roadie mishaps' or embarrassing moments you'd like to share?
Sarah: Oh boy! We've had a few and could probably write a short book. Last year, we actually drove to the wrong church in the wrong town. We pulled up and walked in the door and said, "Hi! We made it!" And their reaction was just a blank stare and finally someone said, "Who are you all??" We barely made it to the correct church down the road in time for the concert. But the biggest mishap that I've experienced was being left at a rest stop in West Virginia in my pajamas at 6:00am. No phone. No wallet. I had gone in for a bottle of water and walked out to see the bus rolling down the road. I ended up having a kind lady call the highway patrol and they found the bus on the road and escorted me out to it…in my pajamas. I was mortified. Lessons learned the hard way you never have to learn again!
Erin: Who would be the top three musicians on your Bucket List to share the stage with someday?
Sarah: Patty Loveless, Sonya Isaacs and Vince Gill
Erin: On your days off, what is your ideal, picture perfect afternoon?
Sarah: I love to crochet and bake. I have always had this idea that someday I wanted to open a pie shop that had live 20's Ragtime music and homemade pies!
Erin: A 'Younger Perspective' must-ask question… What is your can't live without, favorite food?
Sarah: I can't live without my mom's cinnamon rolls. She makes them from scratch and it's an old recipe from our family.
Erin: I'm sure the fans would love to hear about how you came to know Christ?
Sarah: Absolutely! I grew up playing a lot of music with my dad who leads a Cowboy Church back home. I was baptized when I was really young and my parents always raised me to think of it more as a dedication since I couldn't remember it. They told me, "If the Lord lays it on your heart to go forward and be baptized, do it." And I did, one day when I felt the Holy Spirit so heavily. I knew what the Lord was doing in me and it changed me. It was the greatest day of my life and always will be.
Erin: What has the Lord been speaking to your heart in your daily devotions recently?
Sarah: Recently, the Lord has really been teaching me to trust. I lost my Grandma two weeks ago. I came home to see her one afternoon and she was in heaven by the next morning. It was really tough because she was so special to me; we were buds. I've been learning that it's ok to grieve the loss, but even better to celebrate the gain. God has taught me a lot just in the last couple weeks since losing her. He has shown me that His plan and will are perfect. I need to trust Him in everything. Not just the little things that don't always matter, but also the big things that are near and dear to me.
As the song says, "You never know what someone's going through." You might be experiencing the same type of loss as Sarah is walking through, or you may be healing from a great loss that dates back years ago. From experience, I can assure you that over time, it becomes easier to cope, but especially when you love deeply, the hole left in your heart is one that never completely heals. I think that's a real picture of Christ's love for us. He went to the Cross, died for our sins, took our shame upon Himself, but one day when we see Him in heaven, He will still bear the physical scars where the nails were driven in. Through time and eternity, those wounds will be a constant reminder of His unending love for His own. May His peace pass all understanding no matter where you are coming from in your walk today. Thanks to Sarah for sharing with us. Until next month, Scoops fans…
And that's my take on it.

Tribute: Preserving the Heritage and Promoting the Future of Gospel MusicWritten by Staff on September 17, 2015 – 4:46 pm -
"Tribute: an act, statement, or gift that is intended to show gratitude, respect or admiration." That's the first definition that comes up in a word search online for the word tribute. Gospel music has all kinds of tributes. I was present in the side section with some of the artists in 2010 at the National Quartet Convention when they paid tribute to some of the notable artists in a celebration of 100 years of Gospel Music. Now THAT was a tribute! We see tribute tours of older artists in different genres, different styles of Christian music, and we see tributes to great athletes of years gone by. But one group of four men based out of Nashville, Tennessee, are spending their lives paying tribute to what Gospel music represents and Who has been the theme of songs down through the years.
We're visiting with Tribute Quartet this month, and you'll love what they have to say to us about their motto: "Preserving the Heritage and Promoting the Future of Gospel Music."

SGN Scoops Wacky Wednesday Top TenWritten by Staff on May 13, 2015 – 10:39 am -
Happy Wacky Wednesday! SGN Scoops has polled about 18 artists about various things and received their answers. We have used this (not so much) scientific process to tabulate the Wacky Wednesday Top Ten! We hope you enjoy these responses…in no particular order…
Today's Question: What is the one thing you need to take with you on the road?
And the top answer is…you guessed it! HAIRSPRAY! …as responded by Michaela Brown (The Browns) and one Booth Brother**
Another popular response: Sweet Tea by Lauren Talley Alvey (The Talleys) and Greg Bentley (soloist)
At least some of the artists needed this one: A Toothbrush! – Billy Blackwood (The Blackwood Brothers Quartet), Scott Inman (Triumphant Quartet) (what do you suppose the rest of them use?)
And this makes our Gospel music ladies look so wonderful: Makeup! – Karen Peck Gooch (Karen Peck and New River), Hannah Webb (The Rick Webb Family). Hannah adds, "and my precious book of Scripture – both to keep me presentable :)"
Now most of us will not leave home without our iPhone! And neither does Chris Jenkins (Kingsmen Quartet) or Shannon Smith (Three Bridges)
I'm so glad Joseph Habedank (soloist) remembers this one: his wife, Lindsay
Other responses:
Peanut Butter – Clayton Inman (Triumphant Quartet)
Bank Debit Card – Phil Collingsworth Sr. (The Collingsworth Family) (and with that many traveling with him, it's no wonder!)
My Bunk – David Sutton (Triumphant Quartet) (because sleeping is a necessity!)
Lots of Drinking Water – Gary Casto (Tribute Quartet) (we trust that Tribute has facilities on their bus…)
Toothpaste – one Booth Brother** (he is the one that remembered his toothbrush)
Clothes – one Booth Brother** (which begs the question…no, we won't ask it!)
And my personal favorite: COFFEE!! – Donna King (Zane and Donna King)
Stay tuned for more of these indepth polls right here on SGN Scoops!
**Note: The Booth Brothers each answered each question but wouldn't say whose answer it was…therefore we are leaving it up to you, dear reader, to guess whether the pithy answer comes from Michael Booth, Ronnie Booth or Paul Lancaster!

Find the idea of a family hatchback that plugs into the mains electricity supply a little hard to get used to? Then how about a 2.7-tonne limousine?
Meet the 102EX, Rolls-Royce's latest experimental car, which swaps its BMW-derived V12 engine and six-speed automatic gearbox for a 640kg lithium-ion battery pack and two motors from the Tesla electric sports car. Engineered by Lotus Engineering, the Phantom is embarking on a year-long world tour and Auto Express grabbed a turn at the wheel before it left.
The 5.84-metre limousine nails its electric colours to the mast with its special iridescent turquoise paint, which uses nano-ceramic particles to give a lustrous shine. In the cabin, there's an experimental leather floor and vegetable-dyed leather upholstery, which looks and feels lovely, but needs to be proven in the long term before it is adopted for production. To top things off, Charles Sykes's Spirit of Ecstasy has been remade in plastic with an eerie blue light underneath.
Lift the bonnet and instead of oily mechanicals, there is a 96-cell advanced lithium-ion battery housed in five separate packs to make the maximum use of the engine bay. The motors are mounted above the rear axle, driving a conventional differential unit cleverly swung through 90 degrees. The raw figures don't make promising reading, with the 71kWh battery giving a scant 124-mile range before needing a 24-hour recharge from a household supply. Top speed is limited to 100mph and the battery pack, with its theoretical life of three years costs by our estimate, over £100,000.
That's the not-so good stuff, but on the plus side, the combination of battery and twin electric motors effectively replicates the power and torque output from the standard Phantom's 6.75-litre 453bhp/720Nm V12, while adding just 200kg to the kerb weight.
Behind the wheel, the Rolls presents a subtly different face from the standard car, with the backgrounds to the instrument dials matching the exterior paint, while a battery-charge indicator replaces the fuel gauge and the infamous power reserve meter is adapted to indicate over-run recharging.
The starter button prepares the systems; moving the steering column gearchange quadrant into Drive gets the vehicle underway. Well it should, but the system has no creep built in, so the vehicle will roll backwards despite being in Drive. Once under way, however, the driveline is almost silent, although the big tyres make some contribution to the cabin ambience.
Performance is more than enough to spirit the 2.7-tonne saloon up the national limit, although in spite of the extra sound proofing used, the driveline whirrs audibly. Lifting off the throttle allows the big car to roll gently onwards, although the Low gear button on the steering wheel increases the recharging amps and slows progress rather more than you'd want.
Unfortunately we were quickly overtaken by range anxiety and with the battery reserve indicator heading south of a quarter charge, we headed back to Rolls' Goodwood factory. A 24-hour recharge off a domestic supply is clearly ludicrous, but Rolls-Royce is also debuting a wireless induction charging system, where the vehicle is parked over an induction pad, or three-phase recharging; both these alternatives can reduce recharging times to less than eight hours, which is still too high.
Despite Rolls-Royce's hopes, you are always aware you are in something different from the standard V12 vehicle, which is so well engineered and refined it's difficult to better. The 102EX's steering isn't as finely engineered and the power delivery isn't quite as seamless and unburstable, but it is a fine achievement nevertheless. It's the limitations of battery-electric technology rather than a fault with this Phantom's engineering that might relegate this experimental car to the museum of hopeful failures.

As we've seen, search can be a powerful tool for finding posts in need of flags or edits. Currently, to review using a search query you have to click through to every post from the search results before you can read and flag/edit it.
I propose that there should be a page under /review, where you can have search results come up in "review" format, thus making the process less tedious.
Here's a quick mockup:
Another idea is to allow combining search with the existing heuristics, although I suspect the implementation of this might be tricky.
