Vertebral column
The vertebral column, also known as backbone or spine, is a bony structure found in vertebrates. It is formed from individual bones called vertebrae (singular: vertebra).
In human anatomy, the vertebral column usually consists of 24 articulating vertebrae,[1] and nine fused vertebrae in the sacrum and the coccyx. It is situated in the dorsal aspect of the torso, separated by intervertebral discs. It houses and protects the spinal cord in its spinal canal, and hence is commonly called the spine, or simply backbone.
There are normally 33 vertebrae in humans, including the five that are fused to form the sacrum (the others are separated by intervertebral discs) and the four coccygeal bones that form the tailbone.
The upper three regions comprise the remaining 24, and are grouped under the following names:
- Cervical: 7 vertebrae, designated C1 through C7 in order from closest to the skull to furthest from it; the vertebrae of the neck
- Thoracic: the next 12 vertebrae, designated T1 or Th1 through T12 or Th12; the vertebrae of the rib cage and chest
- Lumbar: the last 5 individual vertebrae, designated L1 through L5, the vertebrae of the lower back above the pelvis
This number is sometimes increased by an additional vertebra in one region, or it may be diminished in one region, the deficiency often being supplied by an additional vertebra in another. The number of cervical vertebrae is, however, very rarely increased or diminished.[citation needed]
Other animals[edit]
In animals, vertebrae are defined by the regions of the vertebral column they occur in. Cervical vertebrae are those in the neck area. With exception of two sloth genera (Choloepus and Bradypus) and the manatee (Trichechus),[2] all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae.[3] In other vertebrates the number of cervical vertebrae can range from a single vertebra in amphibians, to as many as 25 in swans or 76 in the extinct plesiosaur Elasmosaurus. The dorsal vertebrae range from the bottom of the neck to the top of the pelvis. Dorsal vertebrae attached to ribs are called thoracic vertebrae, while those without ribs are called lumbar vertebrae. The sacral vertebrae are those in the pelvic region, and range from one in amphibians, to two in most birds and modern reptiles, or up to 3 to 5 in mammals. When multiple sacral vertebrae are fused into a single structure, it is called the sacrum. The synsacrum is a similar fused structure found in birds that is composed of the sacral, lumbar, and some of the thoracic and caudal vertebra, as well as the pelvic girdle. Caudal vertebrae compose the tail, and the final few can be fused into the pygostyle in birds, or into the coccygeal or tail bone in chimpanzees (and humans).
Structure of individual vertebrae[edit]
Individual vertebrae are composed of a centrum (body), arches protruding from the top and bottom of the centrum, and various processes projecting from the centrum and/or arches. An arch extending from the top of the centrum is called a neural arch, while the hemal arch or chevron is found underneath the centrum in the caudal (tail) vertebrae of fish, most reptiles, some birds, some dinosaurs and some mammals with long tails. The vertebral processes can either give the structure rigidity, help them articulate with ribs, or serve as muscle attachment points. Common types are transverse process, diapophyses, parapophyses, and zygapophyses (both the cranial zygapophyses and the caudal zygapophyses).
The centra of the vertebra can be classified based upon the fusion of its elements. In aspidospondyly, bones such as the neural spine, the pleurocentrum and the intercentrum are separate ossifications. Fused elements, however, classify a vertebra as having holospondyly.
A vertebra can also be described in terms of the shape of the ends of the centra. Centra with flat ends are acoelous, like those in mammals. These flat ends of the centra are especially good at supporting and distributing compressive forces. Amphicoelous vertebra have centra with both ends concave. This shape is common in fish, where most motion is limited. Amphicoelous centra often are integrated with a full notochord. Procoelous vertebrae are anteriorly concave and posteriorly convex. They are found in frogs and modern reptiles. Opisthocoelous vertebrae are the opposite, possessing anterior convexity and posterior concavity. They are found in salamanders, and in some non-avian dinosaurs. Heterocoelous vertebrae have saddle-shaped articular surfaces. This type of configuration is seen in turtles that retract their necks, and birds, because it permits extensive lateral and vertical flexion motion without stretching the nerve cord too extensively or wringing it about its long axis.
Fish and amphibians[edit]
The vertebrae of lobe-finned fishes consist of three discrete bony elements. The vertebral arch surrounds the spinal cord, and is of broadly similar form to that found in most other vertebrates. Just beneath the arch lies a small plate-like pleurocentrum, which protects the upper surface of the notochord, and below that, a larger arch-shaped intercentrum to protect the lower border. Both of these structures are embedded within a single cylindrical mass of cartilage. A similar arrangement was found in the primitive Labyrinthodonts, but in the evolutionary line that led to reptiles (and hence, also to mammals and birds), the intercentrum became partially or wholly replaced by an enlarged pleurocentrum, which in turn became the bony vertebral body.[4] In most ray-finned fishes, including all teleosts, these two structures are fused with, and embedded within, a solid piece of bone superficially resembling the vertebral body of mammals. In living amphibians, there is simply a cylindrical piece of bone below the vertebral arch, with no trace of the separate elements present in the early tetrapods.[4]
In cartilagenous fish, such as sharks, the vertebrae consist of two cartilagenous tubes. The upper tube is formed from the vertebral arches, but also includes additional cartilagenous structures filling in the gaps between the vertebrae, and so enclosing the spinal cord in an essentially continuous sheath. The lower tube surrounds the notochord, and has a complex structure, often including multiple layers of calcification.[4]
Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling the vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates. Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region. Hagfishes lack a true vertebral column, and are therefore not properly considered vertebrates, but a few tiny neural arches are present in the tail.[4]
The general structure of human vertebrae is fairly typical of that found in mammals, reptiles, and birds. The shape of the vertebral body does, however, vary somewhat between different groups. In mammals, such as humans, it typically has flat upper and lower surfaces, while in reptiles the anterior surface commonly has a concave socket into which the expanded convex face of the next vertebral body fits. Even these patterns are only generalisations, however, and there may be variation in form of the vertebrae along the length of the spine even within a single species. Some unusual variations include the saddle-shaped sockets between the cervical vertebrae of birds and the presence of a narrow hollow canal running down the centre of the vertebral bodies of geckos and tuataras, containing a remnant of the notochord.[4]
Reptiles often retain the primitive intercentra, which are present as small crescent-shaped bony elements lying between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae; similar structures are often found in the caudal vertebrae of mammals. In the tail, these are attached to chevron-shaped bones called haemal arches, which attach below the base of the spine, and help to support the musculature. These latter bones are probably homologous with the ventral ribs of fish. The number of vertebrae in the spines of reptiles is highly variable, and may be several hundred in some species of snake.[4]
In birds, there is a variable number of cervical vertebrae, which often form the only truly flexible part of the spine. The thoracic vertebrae are partially fused, providing a solid brace for the wings during flight. The sacral vertebrae are fused with the lumbar vertebrae, and some thoracic and caudal vertebrae, to form a single structure, the synsacrum, which is thus of greater relative length than the sacrum of mammals. In living birds, the remaining caudal vertebrae are fused into a further bone, the pygostyle, for attachment of the tail feathers.[4]
Aside from the tail, the number of vertebrae in mammals is generally fairly constant. There are almost always seven cervical vertebrae (sloths and manatees are among the few exceptions), followed by around twenty or so further vertebrae, divided between the thoracic and lumbar forms, depending on the number of ribs. There are generally three to five vertebrae with the sacrum, and anything up to fifty caudal vertebrae.[4]
The vertebral column in dinosaurs consists of the cervical (neck), dorsal (back), sacral (hips), and caudal (tail) vertebrae. Dinosaur vertebrae possess features known as pleurocoels, which are hollow depressions on the lateral portions of the vertebrae, which served to decrease the weight of these bones without sacrificing strength. Pleurocoels are filled with air sacs, according to some researchers. The sauropod dinosaurs are known for their unusually long tails, which were anchored in some cases by over 50 caudal vertebrae. In many hadrosaur and theropod dinosaurs, the caudal vertebrae were reinforced by tendons. The presence of three or more sacral vertebrae, in association with the hip bones, is one of the defining characteristics of dinosaurs. The occipital condyle is a structure on the posterior part of a dinosaur's skull which articulates with the first cervical vertebra.[5]

There is an average of 237,868 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year.1
Here's the math. According to the U.S. Department of Justice's National Crime Victimization Survey --there is an average of 237,868 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year.
There are 525,600 minutes in a non-leap year. That makes 31,536,000 seconds/year. So, 31,536,000 divided by 237,868 comes out to 1 sexual assault every 133 seconds, or about 1 every 2 minutes.
The Unvictims
Sexual assault has fallen by more than 50% in recent years.2
Had the 1993 rate held steady, about 9.7 million Americans would have been assaulted in the last 20 years.
Thanks to the decline, the actual number of victims was about 4.2 million. In other words, if not for the progress we've made in the last 20 years, an additional 5.5 million Americans would have become victims of sexual violence.
While we should be happy that we're making progress, we are still a very long way from solving this problem. Every two minutes, another American is sexually assaulted.

Greater Oklahoma City is in the geographic center of North America equidistant from the east and west coasts and major trade partners of Canada and Mexico. The ten county region is at the crossroads of the U.S., sitting at the heart of three major national highways on the NAFTA corridor.
There's a reason Greater Oklahoma City is such a great place for business: Location. The ten county region is positioned within a day's drive of the rapidly-growing south-central region (OK, TX, AR, LA) projected to grow more than 44% during the next 25 years.
Explore the counties and cities of Greater Oklahoma City including major employers and higher education. The ten county region boasts an average commute time of 20 minutes and a skilled workforce over half a million strong.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Oklahoma City ranks No. 1 in home value increases since pre-recession highs of 2007. In fact, OKC home values have increased 13.1 percent, nearly doubling second-place Denver's growth.
(December 29, 2013)
OKLAHOMA CITY - As thousands of people move about downtown Oklahoma City on foot to-and-from basketball games this week, a streetscape plan for the city shows that the ways pedestrians get around downtown need improvement.
Enhancing pedestrian routes and making them safer and more inviting may spur private investment for shops and other businesses along those paths.
The Downtown Streetscape Master Plan was developed in 2006 and 2007 to help downtown plan for the future. The latest version of the report breaks down several aspects to form a cohesive streetscape, organize districts, improve the aesthetics of downtown, and create safe pedestrian access.
The plan was created by the city planning department and a consulting team.
Downtown districts identified in the study were Midtown, Automobile Alley, the Arts District, the Film Exchange, Deep Deuce, Bricktown and the Central Business District.
In addition to linking the CBD to surrounding areas by foot, the report defines the characteristics to make it safer and more fun for pedestrians to stroll about downtown.
Walking is on the mind of city leaders. The incoming president of Downtown OKC Inc., Jane Jenkins, on a visit to the city last month said she wants to see more people walking downtown. Jenkins plans to live at the Sieber, near NW 11th Street and N. Harvey Avenue, and walk about a mile each day, weather permitting, to her office at Oklahoma Tower.
Improved pedestrian accessibility can help districts like Bricktown and the Film Exchange.
Over the last 20 years, Bricktown has shaped up as a thriving entertainment district, but those on foot going to the area from the CBD must cross six lanes of traffic on E.K. Gaylord Boulevard.
Jim Cowan, executive director of the Bricktown Association, said pedestrian access is vital to the district, but it needs to be better connected with downtown.
"The one thing everyone can agree on is that we need to improve pedestrian access from downtown to Bricktown," he said.
Cowan said all options will be considered to make it easier for pedestrians to cross, including building bridges and tunnels or improving trolley service. Some of those ideas could be addressed as the city looks at a MAPS 3 project.
"We'll have to see what our city leaders have in mind," he said.
Bikes could help alleviate automobile traffic and give people another alternative to move about. Cowan said he has heard of companies that rent bikes. An option like that could be viable for Bricktown.
And bike riders now have a number of bike racks installed recently around Bricktown by the group Urban Neighbors.
"As we start moving toward a more urban feeling downtown we can come up with some ideas that help people get around," Cowan said. "Bikes could be a big part of that."

Back in March of this year, I published a post about How to Select Beef. In the article, I touched briefly upon Kobe beef, and what defines beef as "Kobe". In the comments, one of my favorite writers, haddock at Knife's Edge, pointed out that the Kobe beef we eat is actually American Kobe beef, and not the stuff we hear so much about when foodies talk about Japanese Beef.
The distinction here is warranted, because the Beef Industry has a lot invested in the idea that it's the breed of cattle that lends itself to better tasting meat and not so much the way that cattle is treated.
The LA Times has decided to uncover this little fact with a fair amount of decent food journalism
How did Kobe beef become so ubiquitous? Well, the short answer is: because it's not really Kobe beef. In the old days, back before 2002, when you saw it on the menu, there was a good chance it was actually Kobe — the real deal, imported from Japan.
Today, what is commonly called Kobe beef is really all-American — it comes from American-grown cattle that are crosses of traditional U.S. breeds such as Black Angus and bulls brought from Japan before 2002, when the Department of Agriculture outlawed the importation of Japanese beef, after several incidents of mad cow disease there.
This means that if you were eating real, authentic Kobe beef, you'd have gotten your beef through nefarious ways, because we here in the States haven't seen Japanese beef of any sorts in the past four years.
What you're actually eating, hopefully, if you order Kobe beef, is a breed of cattle called wagyu. Typically the cut has more fat in the muscle tissue that even some prime cuts. But there are unscrupulous distributors out there claiming that the meat is something that it's not.
Why? Because "Kobe Beef", is a recognizable name that insinuates the finest quality. Certain distributors take advantage of this fact to add a few extra dollars to their meat. This is what happens when there are no standards to which items can be compared against.
Real, honest and true Kobe Beef is not just about the cattle, but how that cattle is raised. It's a long process, ensuring that the cow gets a certain amount of grain, a certain type of food/grain, a certain amount of exercise and even a certain amount of massaging.
American cattle producers would most likely cringe at this approach, because it would take the cattle an extended period of time to get to the butcher. This is another distinction that needs to be taken into account. When it comes to beef, it's not just the breed of the cattle, but more importantly, it's how you treat the cattle.

Ducati's new 2011 Monster 1100 Evo moves the Monster story to the next level.

Ducati has come up with a genuinely and refreshingly different motorcycle with the Ducati Hypermotard. It offers all the fun of a conventional supermoto motorcycle with its light and agile handling, and a pathological penchant for wheelies, but thanks to its big n'smooth 1078cc V-twin engine, comfy seat and roomy riding position the Ducati Hypermotard is practical too. Kind of! Watch ...
992cc, 102bhp, 150mph, Insurance group 15
The ignored Ducati family – the sports touring motorcycles – got a big boost with the arrival of the Ducati ST3 model in 2003. Its three valve per cylinder engine was new and unique in the Ducati range – previous sports touring Ducatis made do with other motorcycles' hand me downs. A refreshing, different sports touring motorcycle with decent reliability so far.

4 Graphics applications
4.1 Open a VNC session
Once you have a reservation you can start a VNC graphical session. Within the GSISSH-Term client click on
Tools ->VNC Session
In the window enter the host and display information you obtained from the previous step. Click OK and another window will open up asking for the VNC password. After entering this and clicking OK the remote desktop should appear.
4.2 Using graphics applications
To test that everything is working correctly click on the xterm terminal you should find in the desktop and type:
This should open a small window with an animation of three interlocking gears, and additionally print how many frames are being generated every second. It is important to emphasise that the rendering is being done server-side and that your personal computer is merely displaying the already rendered images which are sent across the network by the RVS. Thus the user's personal workstation requires only modest graphics facilities since effectively it only has to display images.
A number of graphical applications, such as Visit, VMD, etc have been installed on the system and you will find their icons on the Desktop; for a full list and further documentation see the LRZ Visualisation Applications Guide. It is also possible to launch your own graphics application from the xterm window (which is OpenGL enabled).
The easiest way to transfer your data to the RVS is via the DEISA filesystems which are also available here. Thus, if you are running calculations at SARA, for example, just copy your data files into the $DEISA_HOME or $DEISA_DATA directories and they will automatically be available for use with the RVS at LRZ.

Windham >Food & Dining > Lobster Tail Restaurant & Fish
4 Cobbetts Pond Rd., Windham, NH | Directions 0308742.792629 -71.305412
Mon. - Thu. 11am - 8pm;Fri. - Sun. 11am - 9pm
Good Food, BUT fast food type take-out service – We've enjoyed may meals while dining "in" at The Lobster Tail, BUT, have never had a take out order with out a problem. We routinely got the wrong meals and/or sides, when calling in ahead of time, so we recently waited and placed the order when we arrived. Six meals in total. Two fishermans platters ordered, but had 2 haddock dinners when we got home. One dish had wrong sides. First response when we called about it was "Less than helpful". Manager had a better attitude, but I still had to drive over 10 minutes each way to get it fixed. Rest of the party had eaten before I returned.
Then on Sat., the last time we will ever get take out from there, we placed the order when we arrived. Had to remind them twice to include one of the dinners. Got home and found we had a fried haddock dinner instead of baked, and another dinner had fries instead of rice and veggies.
I know...."Check your order before you leave", but that's a pain when everything is wrapped up, bagged and sealed for travel. And should not be necessary at a place like this.
Again, Good food, fair prices. But check everything twice if you're taking it to go.

Deaf author Mark Drolsbaugh challenges public school inclusion effectiveness for deaf students in new book Madness in the Mainstream
NORTH WALES, Pa., Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Deaf programs resulting in mainstream classroom environments are not all they're cracked up to be, at least not for the Deaf student. Educational pleas of the Deaf community are often falling on deaf ears of public school educators and policy makers, creating a learning gridlock for Deaf students and their hearing teachers. In his third book Madness in the Mainstream (MITM), Deaf author, school counselor and student advocate, Mark Drolsbaugh, questions the "Least Restrictive Environment" which calls for Deaf and hard of hearing students to be placed in a mainstream classroom, in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
MITM explores the invisible and harmful long term educational, social and emotional effects that often go unnoticed and unaddressed for years among Deaf and hard of hearing students as a result of IDEA. "Real life experience beats professional opinion and educational policy every time. Research can be twisted to show what people want it to show, but it can never change the real life experiences of an individual who has already been a number. School districts can thump their chests and insist they know a Least Restrictive Environment when they see one, but more often than not, money and politics overrule common sense," says Drolsbaugh.
Advocates of Deaf learning mediums like Drolsbaugh's Alma Mater, Gallaudet University, encourage the Deaf community to use their "voice" in raising awareness for an accessible, Deaf-friendly learning atmosphere for Deaf and hard of hearing students, which offers a groundswell of applicable learning while cultivating social benefits for a healthy classroom experience. Extending a call to action for policy changes, Drolsbaugh also encourages parents to allow their Deaf and hard of hearing children, to be part of the decision making process for their education, stating, "When you're understood, you understand better yourself. That's when the fun begins and life gets good."
Interviews with Drolsbaugh can be found on ASL Radio Video, ASL Radio (via interpreter) and on MITM YouTube. For media inquiries contact Carrie Hill.
About the Author:
Drolsbaugh has written articles that have been published in The Philadelphia Daily News, Kaleidoscope, Parents for Deaf Awareness, and The Tactile Mind. He wrote and published his first book, Deaf Again, in 1997 (a fourth edition was published in 2008). Deaf Again is currently required reading in numerous ASL/Deaf Studies classes throughout the United States and is also an underground hit in England, Australia, and Germany. Drolsbaugh lives in Pennsylvania with his wife Melanie and their three children. For more information please visit Handwave Publications.

AUSTIN -- It's arguably the most powerful job in Texas. The lieutenant governor is both executive and legislator, able to directly shape policy and agendas as president of the Texas Senate.
In his 6th session holding the gavel, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has placed school choice and tax cuts among his top priorities for the 83rd Texas Legislature.
"I've passed legislation 51 times cutting taxes and fees over $14.5 billion," Dewhurst reminded conservatives last week at a luncheon for the Texas Public Policy Foundation. "And ladies and gentlemen, you will see more bills passed cutting taxes this session."
One of the state's best-known Republicans, Dewhurst returns to his job in the Senate Chamber after an unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate in which his conservative credentials were questioned by Tea Party favorite Ted Cruz.
"He's in some level of political rehabilitation," said Harvey Kronberg, editor of the Quorum Report.
The longtime Texas politics watcher warned that Dewhurst faces an uncertain re-election.
"It's very difficult to come back after the voters have rejected you," Kronberg said.
The latest finance reports show bank accounts readying for what could end up a four-way contest between some of the state's most prominent Republicans, and the policies pursued by each until then will play a part.
With a series of reports tracking taxpayer dollars entitled "Texas: It's Your Money," Texas Comptroller Susan Combs has focused on government transparency.
"Some folks just don't think it's anybody else's business, and yet it's always the taxpayers' business," Combs said after unveiling the final report of the series in December.
According to the Texas Ethics Commission, Combs' campaign reported ending 2012 with $7.3 million on hand. Kronberg said Combs benefits both from a significant war chest and a broad appeal among a critical demographic.
"We're talking about a female vote," Kronberg said. "But she's got problems based on changing positions on abortion in the past. The most colorful candidate is of course Jerry Patterson. He's well known among the Republican base."
As Texas Land Commissioner, Patterson has championed gun rights as well as promoting a guest worker program for undocumented immigrants. His idea of a "Texas Solution" was ultimately incorporated as part of the 2012 platform of the Republican Party of Texas.
"It enhances our national and state security," Patterson told KVUE in August. "It helps our economy. It collects more taxes. It eliminates the underground economy of cash payment for folks who never pay withholding. It's just a no-brainer."
Despite reporting just over $1 million on hand through December 31, 2012, Patterson enjoys Tea Party support.
Kronberg said Patterson has been able to win competitive races without significant spending, but warns against drawing too many comparisons to Cruz.
"Cruz was a lucky candidate in one regard, in that we had a delayed primary," Kronberg said. "That gave him several additional months to build name ID and he had outside money coming from [Washington] D.C. that was enough to at least give him some traction. But you should never underestimate the power of money."
With just over $2 million on hand, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples has staked his turf on border security.
"We will stand up, we will defend our borders," Staples told KVUE in June. "And we will make certain that we will not concede or yield to these violent drug cartel members."
With just under $2 million left in his war chest, Dewhurst still has personal wealth and popularity, and perhaps more importantly, control. Of the four, Combs is the only one who has yet to officially announce her intentions for 2014.

Sheriff: Ending switchblade ban could risk officers' lives
By Nathan Baker
A proposal in the state Legislature to end the ban on switchblades and other prohibited knives has been held up by some lawmakers and local industry leaders as beneficial to business and an issue of protection, but those who enforce the state's laws, including Carter County Sheriff Chris Mathes, say it could put more officers' lives at risk.
Sen. Mike Bell, R-Riceville, who introduced the bill, described the legislation as an extension of the Second Amendment rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
"Spring-loaded knives were outlawed in many states 30 to 40 years ago, not due to any statistical evidence that they were used in crimes, but I would say outlawed because of hysteria caused by Hollywood movies," Bell said shortly before the bill was passed by the Senate last month, 27-3.
Tennessee law prohibits the possession, production, transportation, repair or sale of switchblade knives under all circumstances and the possession of knives with blades longer than four inches unless "hunting, fishing, camping, sport shooting or (conducting) other lawful activity."
Bell's bill would remove those restrictions and preempt any existing local laws governing knives.
In the House, its companion bill, introduced by Savannah Republican Rep. Vance Dennis, was approved by the Criminal Justice Committee and is scheduled to be considered by the Finance, Ways & Means Committee today before a full floor vote.
During discussion in the Criminal Justice Committee, Reps. Jeremy Faison of Cosby and Tony Shipley of Kingsport, said the bill could help spur economic activity at knife distribution centers in their districts.
"They are actually making knives right now that they can't sell in our state because of this section of the code," Faison said of Smoky Mountain Knife Works, a Sevierville-based distributor and retailer. "So this is not only just a good thing to do to help good honest people not be charged with intent to carry, this is also a jobs bill."

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Singalotbear Post it dry erase Easel Pad was ok I tend to use this pad with hundreds of students a week, so I have extremely high expectations of it's capability to erase cleanly. It erases ok, but you have to really put a lot of elbow grease into it after 5-6 uses of a sheet. A thought to improve it would be to sell the pad with an eraser, cleaner, and perhaps a set of markers, so you could sell it as a bundle. :) August 11, 2012

Desktop & Portable Loudspeakers
PSB Imagine Mini
TYPE: Desktop speakers
URL: www.psbspeakers.com
Even Head-Fi'ers occasionally hang up their headphones and want to listen to loudspeakers from time to time. CNET Audiophiliac blogger Steve Guttenberg recently reviewed the PSB Imagine mini loudspeakers on Head-Fi.org. You can read the complete review by clicking here. About the PSB Imagine mini speakers, Steve said:
"...no in-ear or full-size headphone images as naturally as the Imagine mini. The mini resolves dynamic shading better than headphones, and you feel more viscerally connected to music over speakers."
The PSB Imagine mini loudspeakers start at $760/pair, and require a separate amplifier to power them (they do not have built-in amplifiers).
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air
TYPE: Desktop iDevice dock with AirPlay
I picked up a Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air iDevice dock with AirPlay, and to say I've been using it a lot would be an understatement--I actually bought a second one to use at the office. Being able to hop on iTunes on any of my Macs, or on any of my several iDevices, and wirelessly stream music (losslessly) to the Zeppelin Air is killer. It is the best-sounding iDevice dock I've yet heard, and it can play loud, with 150 watts of total amplification (each of the five drivers with its own amplifier).
The biggest downside of the Zeppelin Air for me is the lack of flexibility that comes with a single-chassis unit. Obviously, the speakers can't be separated to improve imaging. And make sure to read the instructions to find out how to adjust the Zeppelin Air's bass level, as it can be a bit heavy at its default setting (for my tastes).
Bowers & Wilkins MM-1
TYPE: Desktop speakers
I also have the tiny Bowers & Wilkins MM-1 active (self-amplified) loudspeakers on my desk at my home office, and they sound beautiful. They do not, however, play very loudly, which is fine for me, because I rarely listen at high volume levels. Also, despite being so small, they manage to sound surprisingly full--just don't expect deep bass. As little desktop nearfield monitors, the MM-1 system is wonderful, with nice, neutral mids, and a surprisingly refined treble.
Audioengine P4 loudspeakers and Audioengine N22 amplifier
TYPE: Desktop loudpeakers and amplifier
PRICE: Starting at $249/pair and $199, respectively
URL: audioengineusa.com
At my office can be found the Audioengine P4 loudspeakers (starting at $249 a /pair), audioengineusa.com, and Audioengine's N22 amplifier ($199). This system is not as refined sounding as the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1, but it still sounds very good for the price, and it plays much louder, and has deeper, more impactful bass. The N22 has the added benefit of a built-in headphone output, so, in addition to being very affordable, it's also very Head-Fi-friendly! For the price, this Audioengine P4/N22 system is easy to recommend.
PSB Alpha PS1
TYPE: Desktop loudspeakers
URL: www.psbspeakers.com
For many years, PSB (named after Paul and Sue Barton) has been making some of the best value loudspeakers around. Some of their speakers defy logic, in terms of performance for price. One of their most recent examples of this is intended for the desktop, and it's also PSB's only powered (self-amplified) loudspeaker model. It's called the PSB Alpha PS1.
Of course, given its small size, deep bass is out of the question (without a subwoofer); but, still, the PSB Alpha PS1's bass performance exceeded my expectations, rated to punch as low as 58Hz at -10dB (and 80Hz at +/- 3dB). Bass detail is very good, too. Mids are neutral and extraordinarily well fleshed out. Treble, which is rated to 22kHz (+/- 3dB), sounds extended, detailed, and devoid of edginess. The PSB Alpha PS1 can also play extraordinarily loud for its size. In other words, for the size and price, the Alpha PS1 is everything I'd expect from PSB, and more than I'd expect from just about anyone else.
At its $300 price point, I'd have been thrilled to have passive speaker performance like this. That its self-powered, though, is a huge bonus, and simplifies the desktop. Given the value it already provides, I feel greedy for even suggesting this, but my only wish for the PSB Alpha PS1 is a built-in USB DAC circuit (a la the Bowers & Wilkins MM-1), for an even simpler desktop.
If you want even more impact, PSB made sure that adding a subwoofer couldn't be easier, as the Alpha PS1 has a dedicated subwoofer output. I may one day play around with adding a subwoofer to this set; but right now I'm perfectly happy to listen to the PSB Alpha PS1's as they are.
If you're looking for a neutral, revealing, impactful loudspeaker system for your desktop--and if you're on a tight budget, but don't want your desktop to sound low-budget--the PSB Alpha PS1 has my highest recommendation.
Ultimate Ears is really branching out
Logitech UE Mobile Boombox
TYPE: Bluetooh wireless loudspeaker
URL: ue.logitech.com
The first UE speaker product I encountered was the new Logitech UE Mobile Boombox ($99.99), a tiny portable, rechargeable Bluetooth wireless mini stereo loudspeaker that lets you play music from any Bluetooth-enabled device from as far as 50 feet away. (It will support up to eight pairings, with up to two connected at the same time.) Though your next house party won't be powered by your UE Mobile Boombox, its two 1" full-range drivers do a better job of playing music than I expected from drivers that could fairly be described as two dots. Though I use it for music on occasion, it has seen just as much use playing the sound for movies or shows I watch on my iPad while traveling. The UE Mobile Boombox can also serve as a Bluetooth speakerphone (though its call quality is only so-so).
Logitech UE Boombox
TYPE: Bluetooth wireless loudspeaker
URL: ue.logitech.com
Getting you closer to house party music levels is the Logitech UE Boombox ($249.99), which is a portable, rechargeable Bluetooth wireless stereo loudspeaker with two 2 5/8" passive radiators, two 3" woofers, and two 0.5" tweeters. The built-in rechargeable battery can keep the UE Boombox playing for as long as six hours between charges. The UE Boombox will allow up to eight Bluetooth pairings, with up to three of them connected at the same time.
The UE Boombox is a very sleek, simple, attractive looking speaker, that, as one reviewer put it, looks like a nod to designers Dieter Rams and Jonathan Ive. Spanning its entire length is a thick, beautiful, wraparound aluminum carrying handle that looks to me like something that helps form a tough chassis.
As for its sound quality, it's actually very good for a battery-powered portable boombox--especially if you take even just a minute to experiment a bit with placement. The uses for the UE Boombox are easy to find. Since I don't have patio speakers, the UE Boombox finds itself in that role. Rockumentaries on Netflix, on an iPad? Yeah, it works great for that, too. The UE Boombox is loud music with you. It's fun.
Logitech UE Smart Radio
TYPE: Alarm Clock
URL: ue.logitech.com
The last of the UE speaker products I tried was the Logitech UE Smart Radio ($179.99). You know what this one is? It's an alarm clock for Head-Fi'ers. On those occasions I need an alarm clock to wake me up, the UE Smart Radio wakes me up to my music on MOG (it also support many other streaming stations and services). I also use the UE Smart Radio to play music while I'm changing in the bedroom.
One cool feature I do use on the UE Smart Radio a lot is the free bank of "Sounds & Effects." There are some nice nature sounds (some more convincing than others), as well as other effects, my favorite being the sounds of a city downtown. I'm out in the suburbs, so running the city sounds makes me feel like I'm in a downtown apartment with my windows open. I also occasionally use the city sounds as my alarm tone, as it's a fairly relaxing effect to wake up to--and it also has the occasional entertaining side effect of making me wonder (for just a few confused seconds) where the heck I fell asleep the night before. (Some of these effects, including the city sounds, work well via the UE Smart Radio's headphone jack, too.)
It hasn't been all peaches and cream with the UE Smart Radio, though. Some problems I've run into with it include failing to get it to pull from my iTunes library--I'm at a complete loss at this point to understand how to make that work. Also, I tend to prefer using the UE Smart Radio's companion app on my iPhone to control it, as I find that far faster and more intuitive than using the control panel on the radio itself.
Still, these glitches haven't come close to undoing the charm of using what feels like a clock radio built for Head-Fi'ers.
So, yes, Logitech is definitely branching out with the UE brand, but their moves in that regard--based on my experience with the products they're branching out with--convince me that they're so far staying true to UE's "POWER TO THE MUSIC" motto.
TYPE: Portable, Bluetooth loudspeakers
URL: www.ultimateears.com
Ultimate Ears (UE) has been promoting the UE BOOM portable Bluetooth loudspeaker as the "social music player," and I can understand why. We recently hosted a pool party, and two UE BOOMs served as the poolside music engines that kept the music flowing. (Only one UE BOOM is needed, but I'll explain why we had two in just a minute.) And the UE BOOMs were a big hit, everyone in attendance impressed by, and asking about, the compact speakers.
A big part of the UE BOOM's appeal is the form factor--a compact, cylindrical design that almost begs to be grabbed; so, throughout the party, the BOOMs were being moved to wherever the party goers flowed. In addition to being so grabbable, the UE BOOM has a metal swivel loop on its bottom that allows the attachment of a carabiner, so you can clip it to things (like your backpack, for example). The cylindrical design also allows the UE BOOM to be placed in cup holders, and even fits into a bicycle water bottle holder.
Another big part of the UE BOOM's allure is the fact that it's water- and stain-resistant. For much of the party, I kept them immediately poolside, where they were getting thoroughly splashed. The UE BOOM also seems very ruggedly built, and has already survived a few drops to the deck without issue. It also has long battery life, lasting up to 15 hours per charge--press a couple of buttons, and the UE BOOM will tell you (literally, with a human voice) what percentage of battery life is left.
Of course, none of this would matter if the UE BOOM didn't sound good, and, for what it is, it sounds excellent. It's not hi-fi, but the sound is more full-range than I'd expect from the two 1.5" drivers and two 2" passive radiators in each UE BOOM. It also plays a lot louder than I reckoned it could. The UE BOOM's sound is lively and fun.
Sometimes the fun has to be interrupted by a little bit of business, and for those times the UE BOOM can serve as a Bluetooth speakerphone--and it's actually surprisingly good in that role.
I mentioned earlier that we were using two UE BOOMs, and here's how. If you're using an iOS or Android device, there is an available UE BOOM app that allows two UE BOOMs to be joined together as either two separate stereo loudspeakers, or with each one dedicated to serving one channel of a stereo pair. One UE BOOM sounds good. Two is even better and louder, especially if you're running one as left and one as right. (I use the dual-stereo mode only when the two are separated by a relatively long distance.)
At $199.99 each, the UE BOOM is the best Bluetooth speaker of its type that I've used. I love the UE BOOM's slogan: "Make Music Social." The UE BOOM really does encourage that, and I love it.
