Today I present to you a highly fun Reason beginner tip: Instead of placing notes into Reason's fun Matrix Sequencer use the Randomize function. But don't give yourself carpel tunnel syndrome by pushing the mouse pointer to the Edit menu and selected Randomize Pattern. Simply hold down the Command (Apple) key and hit R. Now… do it over and over until you get something you like.
8 thoughts on "Shortcut: Randomize the Matrix Sequencer"
yes, this is a good tip. what i do is after i've randomized, i scootch some of the notes back into key. also it's nice if you set the instrument you're working with to monophonic(poly=1) and some portamento. pull down the decay of the notes and you get some nice computer sounding motifs.
yes, beginners tip but worthwhile none-the-less. as Mr Tunes said, it is (sometimes) good to randomize and then put every note one position up or down to get the whole thing playing in key. this may sound better, but it may not. try it out. the randomize-option is also very useful for when you want to create 'generative' drumbeats – create an NNXT and load it up with drumsamples you like, either one sample for every key on the keyboard or spread over multiple keys so you get automatic pitch-effects (which could also be accomplished, ofcourse, by using the pitchbend wheel, and for the most variation by picking a different pitchbend range for every sample in the NNXT). Then, connect a Matrix and randomize away.
Furthermore, try randomizing and then randomly (by hand) lowering some of the gates, so you get intervals which might be interesting. sometimes with basses or synthlines letting the Matrix play only the first one or two bars and adding some delay is better than a full 32 steps of notes.
hmm i could go on and on..
Now if it had "lockstep" that shit'd be perfect.
Good begginer tip. The intermediate version is:
Put a scale or range of notes in tune with your track. Place a few gates under the notes. Hit [command] + T (transform). Change a gate or two here and there.
The notes will be shuffled around – but the pitches do NOT get randomized.
Keep hitting [cmd] + T until you hear something cool. Cut, then switch to next pattern, paste, and repeat until you have a whole bank of sequences that are in key with your song. Excellent way of making variations to bass lines and existing patterns. Excellent for live use too, since you can always undo.
NN19 also can create some time-stretching effects. Just connect the LFO Out and CV Input & tweak the 'Sample Start' knob. With 'LFO Rate' you can change the splicing frequency. Overlapping depends on 'Release' of Amp envelope & Polyphony determines the character of effect (from the AKAI-style stretching to grain-like noises)
oh sorry)) GATE Input for triggering, not CV!
Matrix seq. is what made me fall in love with reason!
CV splitters, mergers, wiring/routing too, actually.
Yes , very usefull indeed.
I have been using this to create cool velocity patterns , just can't be arsed to draw them myself haha.


text: only ___ more to go until I am fully satisfied! I have been experimenting ever since I bought the car, trying to find the loudest but best sounding exhaust combo. Its been a long expensive journey, and I am not through yet. Here is the breakdown of what I have had so far: Mufflers/Mid pipe/Headers MAC/stock/stock= -much deeper than stock, decent drone inside cruising at certain speeds MAC/catted Bassani X/stock= -pretty much the same as it was, just louder, and a little tinny at a certain RPM MAC/catless Bassani X/stock= -holy crap, this sounded insane!! Like a rabid werewolf, BUT under acceleration, waaay to tinny......dammit MAC/Pypes offroad H/stock= -didn't sound bad by any means, but nowhere near as loud, much less tinny sound MAC/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTS= -not near as loud as I was hoping, this combo with stock headers was much louder. A little tinny in the higher rpms Bassani/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTS= -sounds like a totally different car. Not as loud as I would like, NO tinny sound, pretty deep. SLP Loudmouths/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs= -LOUD LOUD LOUD. Deep growl down low, major trumpets above 3000 rpms, psychotically loud at half throttle, severe drone at certain rpms/speeds. See post #47. Hooker tips/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs= -Deeper than the SLPs, not as loud, and smaller trumpets. Sounds tinny when the pedal is buried. SLPs will probably be going back on. SLP Loudmouths/MAC Prochamber/Hooker LTs= -Its nice. Much deeper than the X pipe, much much quieter too. Very little cabin drone, minimal amount of trumpets that only occur over 3500 rpms. Pypes Violators/catless Bassani X/Hooker LTs= -Surprisingly deep when idling, pretty loud when WOT. Somewhat of the tinny/rattling sound in the upper rpms, but not near as bad as what I have heard before. At this point, I will probably be sticking with the Violators. Excellent balance between the deep grumble that says "I might have 500 horses....", and the loudness that says "You're not coming?"

To the Editor:
If the results of your poll on the Voter ID amendment are accurate, it's pretty obvious that the public needs a lot of educating on the matter.
Requiring a photo ID to vote seems to be a no-brainer. We need a photo ID to board an airplane, cash a check, open a checking account, buy a firearm and sometimes to buy cigarettes, alcohol or Reddi-Whip. So why not to vote?
One op-ed piece suggested that there was no evidence that voter fraud was "rampant." Voter fraud doesn't have to be rampant to affect the outcome of an election. There have been some close elections in the past few years of fewer than 100 votes.
State issued IDs are not that hard to get and people would have plenty of time to get them. Several years ago, I helped an elderly friend get one so she could fly to see her grandchildren. She needed a birth certificate, marriage certificate and someone who knew her for several years.
College students should be voting absentee where they come from, not choosing our representatives and then leaving.
An illegal vote by a person not qualified to vote steals your vote. We need election integrity and photo ID is the first step to getting it. — Aleta Edin, Burtrum

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) recently refreshed its MacBook Air product line with a minor hardware upgrade in the form of a new Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) Haswell processor. According to Apple's MacBook Air technical specification page, the new 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models feature a 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.7GHz, instead of a 1.3GHz Intel Core i5 processor with Turbo Boost up to 2.6GHz found in last year's model. Apple also dropped the prices of its new MacBook Air models, making its entry-level laptop a more affordable $899.
According to Macworld's Speedmark 9 system performance benchmark suite, the new 11-inch MacBook Air with 128GB of storage and the new 13-inch MacBook Air with 256GB of storage outpaced the mid-2013 models by 2 to 5 percent in tests involving programs such as Photoshop, iTunes, and video transcoder Handbrake. However, while the 100MHz processor speed increase improved the performance of the Haswell processor, the recent benchmark tests conducted by Macworld also found that the new models showed a decrease in flash storage performance.
For its mid-2013 models, Macworld tested an 11-inch 1.3GHz MacBook Air model with 256GB of flash storage and a 13-inch 1.3GHz MacBook Air model with 128GB of flash storage. Macworld found that the new models took twice as long to perform some tasks than the mid-2013 models. For example, it took the new 11-inch MacBook Air with 128GB of storage 54 seconds to copy 6GB of files and folders, compared to 28 seconds on the 11-inch model from last year.

Please do forgive my ignorance
what I understand so far is: Microsoft didn't pay to use the patent. Motorola can't get Microsoft's products banned because their patent is under FRAND. Microsoft can decide to now buy a license to those patents, but even if they don't, they don't have to worry about their products being banned which in turn weaken Motorola's negotiation ability.
I don't know if my understanding is correct or not, but what I am now wondering about is: how will this ruling affect future commitments by companies (not just Motorola) to putting their patents into standards? Does this ruling strengthen the value of those patents or does is weaken them? And does it mean that companies can put their products into the market before getting the license and only worry about the license when they get sued?

Brown thick discharge
i am on ortho tri-byblen lo and i have been for about two years. i am on the third day of the dark green pills which are pose to bring me my cycle and i have experienced a dark brown thick discharge. it doesn`t smell. I am active but the last time i did it was about a week ago and it started out with a condom and then he eventually took it off. can you tell me what`s going on. is this normal when coming on to my cycle or what.
Irregular bleeding on oral contraceptives is common. the most common reason is taking pills off schedule. However it sometimes it occurs for no detectable reason. However, you should make sure that you are not pregnant, and if you have any concerns about sexually transmitted diseases, you should be seen by a health care provider.

Wednesday nights at Fayetteville's Georges Majestic Lounge have a new level of expectations thanks to Yonder Mountain String Band. Warming up the stage, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades will be on tour with Yonder for the majority of spring.
It's been forty years since mandolinist and bandleader David Grisman began playing with his Quintet, a band that bended more genres into the bluegrass/acoustic idiom that ever before. His groundbreaking compositions sat nicely with the school of acoustic gypsy-swing first popularized in the United States by guitarist Django Reinhardt and fiddle player Stephane Grappelli.
The storied bluegrass quintet Yonder Mountain String Band showered The Catalyst of downtown Santa Cruz, CA in full form on Wednesday night, March 23rd.
On April 7th, 8th and 9th Dark Star Orchestra (DSO) will perform for the first time ever in Berkeley, CA. The performances will be held at the newly renovated UC Theatre.
Umphrey's McGee concluded their 2016 Winter West Coast Tour at the Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday night. The tour has been highlighted by a variety of bust-outs, debuts and collaborations and this night would prove to be no different. The crowd began filtering in more than 2 hours before Umphrey's McGee was ready to start, and those that did were greeted with a fiery opening set from Pr
Umphrey's McGee, the sextet from South Bend, IN returned to the East Bay of Oakland, CA for their fifth consecutive appearance in as many years at the famed Fox Theater Friday night, March 25th.
One night from the official wrap of the Winter 2016 Tour, Umphrey's McGee proved they have not lost their bag of tricks, nor is it even close to being empty.
Umphrey's McGee returned to the road last night, March 24th at Harrah's South Lake Tahoe South Shore Room inside the Stateline, NV hotel.
American folk and protest music legend Woody Guthrie has influenced generations of singer-songwriters. His optimistic vision of the United States was as a land of opportunity, equality, and freedom for all. Though hundreds of his treasured songs have been preserved, they still need to be continued through the vitality of living musicians.
The String Cheese Incident is in the midst of their expansive March Madness tour of the West. The run has thus far seen enthusiastic crowds, intimate venues, and resilient playing from the band. Their two set shows have highlighted a career retrospective of tunes and expansively inspired grooves. The two Fox Theater gigs last weekend are being heralded as the fiercest of the tour yet.
Colorado's born and bred The String Cheese Incident has significantly elevated their concert experience since they began jamming together in 1993. Their first audiences were at the base of ski lifts in Telluride, Colorado; picking in exchange for a lift ticket for whoever was around to take notice.

A member on Vietnam Movie Association's executive committee and art council, director Nguyen Vinh Son will serve as vice chairman of the board of examiners (BOE) at the "Golden Kite" Awards, to judge feature films. In an interview with Tuoi Tre, Nguyen Vinh Son shares some of his thoughts on what he described as the "hot seat."
Is there any change in the members of BOE this year?
The BOE judging feature films is increased to 13 members this year, with Hong Anh joining us after returning from her study abroad. I hope there will be some real change soon in the way of BOE. There is no BOE at the American Academy Award, the British BAFTA Award, or the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe Award. The winners in these competitions are decided by a large number of voting members, not by a BOE.
I have suggested a similar "electorate" model to replace our traditional BOE. In this new model, around 60-100 of writers and artists will be the electors voting on behalf of the audiences.
BOE at the "Golden Kite" Awards will determine the cinematographic merit of Vietnamese "Inferno" after watching Hollywood "Shattered".
But we used to have the Audience Awards?
But it wasn't very successful. This method of popular voting only works when the audience shows not only serious responsibility for their voting decision but also a reasonable level of artistic appreciation.
How can the "electorate" model change anything?
First of all, it will make the "Golden Kite" Award different from the national film festival's "Lotus" Award, which often invites the same professionals to sit on the BOE to judge more or less the same movies. In the new model, the "Golden Kite" Award will no longer be considered just a carbon copy of the "Lotus" Award.
An "electorate" BOE will judge a movie from the audiences' points of view. They will represent the professionals, journalists, critics and young audiences who can freely express their opinions, thus stoking up healthy, lively debates in the press. Of course, the final scores will be kept secret until the final day.
I have proposed this model in many meetings before the art council and the idea was well supported. However, due to the many constraints we face, such as money and time, etc., the proposal has not been put to work.

Every year, after the closing of "Golden Kite" Award ceremony, there are always controversies and debates about the decisions of the BOE. What do you think is the reason for this?
Theoretically, the BOE are always chosen based on their professional experience and qualification, to make sure they make the right judgment. However, in reality, there are often "behind closed doors" influences, such as phone calls from the film makers, a member's preference for movies from a particular region, or the relationships between a judging member and a film producer, etc. that make the job of the BOE a lot more complicated. Each of the judging members, however, has to bear responsibility for their final decision as it will reflect positively or negatively on their professional reputation. As a result, they are supposed to focus exclusively on the movies and reach the decision independently of all the external influences.
Do you think that the criteria at the "Golden Kite" Award are not clear even though the event has been organized many times? The classification of the prizes, for example, is different every year.
Our movie industry is expanding and going through many changes. Film festivals, accordingly, have to be flexible as well to reflect the changes.
It is difficult to talk about the criteria since the number of movies produced each year in Vietnam is pretty small, so we have to include every movie available in the contest. In my opinion, the best criterion for awarding a movie should be based on its cinematographic merit, its high level of professional creativity and innovation in both content and means of expression.
"Norwegian forest," directed by Tran Anh Hung, was a box-office success in many cities in Vietnam. Does this mean that our audiences are now having a more refined taste and quite a few domestic movie makers are underestimating the audiences' aesthetic standards?
That's the good news. The number of movie-goers attending art-house movies in the country is increasing, but it is still nothing compared to the number who goes to see commercial entertaining movies. This has resulted in a rather disheartening fact that before any serious, "high-art" movie hits the theatres, it has to downplay its artistic value while overplaying its "entertaining" value by highlighting and putting sexual scenes on its posters to attract the audiences.
What do you think of "Inferno" competing in the film festival this year despite all allegations that it is just a "knockoff" version of "Shattered"?
It is quite legitimate that the BOE accept the movie "Inferno" in the competition. I have seen the movie and I have to admit that Victor Vu is a talented director. The BOE will have to see the Hollywood movie "Shattered" first before making any judgment.

Today's engineers, designers and specifiers are required to learn about new materials before they're selected for new applications. This means that material suppliers and manufacturers must invest more in both time and financial resources for testing and demonstrating to bring products to new markets. This webinar will take a look at how the composites industry has reacted to these challenges where digging down is necessary in order to build up new markets and opportunities to grow the composites market.

Tottenham boss Andre Villas Boas admitted he was disappointed to lose 2-1 to Leeds United in the FA Cup.
The Championship club managed to reach the fifth round against a Spurs team without Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor.
Villas Boas said: "We wanted to go through and win the competition. It was extremely competitive today. We could have done a little bit better."
With Adebayor at the African Cup of Nations, there had been rumours that the London club would be looking for strikers in the transport window. But the Portuguese manager denied this fact.
He added: "We didn't miss a lot of attacking opportunities today because we didn't have a striker.
"Scoring first gives them the extra stimulus."

More than 1.5 million Europeans have had personal information compromised by a security breach at Loyaltybuild, a company that manages customer loyalty programs across Europe, The Irish Times reports. The Garda has launched an investigation into the incident, which saw nearly 400,000 individuals' credit card details exposed. Irish Data Protection Commissioner Billy Hawkes said the financial data was not encrypted. Another 150,000 individuals' details have been "potentially compromised," and the breach looks to be the result of an external criminal act, Hawkes said. Meanwhile, in the U.S., hundreds have been affected by a data breach dating back to 2001 in Indiana.

TALLAHASSEE — Despite pledging to run the most open administration in Florida history, Gov. Charlie Crist will not fully disclose details of his political travel on private jets owned by special interests and wealthy Republican Party donors.
By law, he doesn't have to. But Crist has raised expectations by stressing total transparency in government and by requiring his staff to abide by higher ethical standards than the law requires.
In his two years in office, Crist has flown to events on planes belonging to Harry Sargeant, a Boca Raton businessman whose contracts to send fuel to troops in Iraq have been questioned by Congress; Dick Mandt of Tampa, a former publisher of shopper newspapers; and Daytona Beach home builder Mori Hosseini, among others. All are Republican Party fundraisers.
Taxpayers did not pay for those excursions. The owner donated the flight's cost to the party or the party reimbursed the plane's owner.
"The reporting of that is all adhered to in accordance with the disclosure laws the party abides by," Crist spokeswoman Erin Isaac said. "And when the governor travels for personal reasons, he personally pays for that travel."
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Sunday that Crist has used private jets more than 100 times during the past two years. His office said Crist uses corporate jets to fly to political events and flies commercial at his own expense on personal trips, such as to his condominium in St. Petersburg.
The governor's office did not acquiesce to the newspaper's request that Crist document how he paid for all his travel.
Saving money
State law requires political parties to account for all expenditures including travel, but not to specify which flights are flown by which public official. So it's impossible to see which corporate interests are flying Crist around the most or whether corporate executives are enjoying exclusive airborne access to Crist.
Travel records obtained by the Times/Herald show Crist has been careful as governor to avoid using state planes for political or personal gain. While that has increased his reliance on corporate planes to maintain a busy political schedule, it has saved taxpayers money too.
A side-by-side comparison of Crist's use of state planes in his first two years in office and former Gov. Jeb Bush's last two years in office shows Crist used state planes less often.
In that period, Bush flew nearly 137,000 nautical miles on a state plane for a total of nearly 429 hours in the air or the equivalent of nearly 18 days. Crist flew 75,000 nautical miles on a state plane for a total of 241 hours, or 10 days, since he became governor, according to official state manifests.
The reason Crist hasn't flown as much on a state plane is "out of an abundance of caution," Isaac said. She said he flies at the Republican Party's expense when any political work appears on his schedule.
A case in point is Feb. 11, 2008. Crist began his day in Miami and boarded home builder Hosseini's plane for Tampa and the Florida State Fair annual luncheon. Then it was off to Sarasota on a state-owned plane to visit a Florida business, followed by a trip on another private plane to visit a school and go to a Republican candidate's fundraiser in Naples.
Three days later, Crist flew on Sargeant's plane from Tallahassee to Miami for a 30-minute meeting with Michael Collins, Ireland's ambassador to the United States. The next day, Mandt's plane flew Crist from Miami to Tampa to attend a bottling company's grand opening and a United Negro College Fund luncheon.
Those details appear on internal schedules maintained by the governor's office, which Isaac said no longer include political events. She said it was decided internally that staff members had no need to see details of Crist's political schedule.
Other air travel
Crist's air travel has been scrutinized before.
As a candidate for attorney general in 2001, Crist was accused in an ethics complaint of taking state planes to fundraisers. The investigation fizzled because Crist, on his attorney's advice, declined to answer questions or produce records, the Palm Beach Post reported.
Earlier, as a state senator in the mid 1990s, Crist examined the travels of Democratic Gov. Lawton Chiles, who took 14 personal trips without reporting them as gifts and later paid for the flights.
"I think it smells from top to bottom," Crist said in 1997. "It smacks of the good-ol'-boy politics of the past."
'Green' issue
Crist's jet-setting also clashes with his oft-stated commitment to running a ''green," eco-friendly administration. Executive jets leave behind a heavy carbon footprint while spewing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
By contrast, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger uses so-called "carbon offsets'' to mitigate his burning of carbon when he flies. Schwarzenegger drives a Hummer that can run on hydrogen and biofuels. Crist uses a hybrid-fuel SUV, but as of last month had not started using carbon offsets for his flights.
Asked a few months ago how much he was doing to reduce greenhouse gases and other emissions, Crist said: "Probably not enough." Asked what he personally does to reduce energy consumption, Crist said: "I'll try to turn the lights out when I leave the room, and things like that."

Rocs are legendary creatures found in Arabic folklore - although they are technically more of fabulous beasts than a malicious force, they deserve recognition as they were seen as dangerous creatures: for reasons that should become rather apparent.
Rocs were depicted as gigantic birds, not just large by bird standards but literally giant - some tales spoke of Rocs so large they could pick up and elephant in their talons much like a regular bird of prey may pick up a young lamb.
Due to their immense size and predatory nature Rocs were a hazard to heroes of legend such as Sinbad - they are similiar in some ways to the Native American legend of the Thunderbird, however unlike the Thunderbird, Rocs are neither supernatural nor wrathful, though as stated above they can pose a danger to humans due to their sheer size and predatory habits.
Rocs are also classed as a cryptid alongside the Thunderbird of legend, though science would undoubtedly be looking for a creature far smaller than the elephant-snatching monster of legend.

By Saranac Hale Spencer
ALBANY COUNTY United States District Court Judge Lawrence Kahn found against a group of residents who sued the county, claiming that its new voting districts deny them an equal opportunity to vote for representatives.
Anne Pope, who works with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Wanda Willingham, a minority representative in the county legislature; and Janis Gonzalez, a candidate for a seat in the legislature, sued Albany County after it adopted new district lines after the 2010 Census figures were released because, they said, the new map of the county's 39 voting districts should have included a fifth district made up of predominantly minority voters. The map that the county legislature adopted in May maintains four majority-minority districts.
The decision was filed on Aug. 18 and four days later, Mitchell Karlan and Paul DerOhannesian, representing Pope, Willingham, and Gonzalez, filed a notice of appeal.
Kahn references in his decision three preconditions for a vote dilution claim set out in the Thornburg v. Gingles United States Supreme Court decision:
1. The minority group must be sufficiently large and geographically compact to constitute a majority in a single-member district;
2. The minority group must show that it is cohesive; and
3. The minority must demonstrate that the white majority votes as a bloc to enable it usually to defeat the minority's preferred candidate.
"Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden of showing a likelihood of success on the merits at this stage of the litigation," Kahn wrote. Following the redrawing of district lines after the last two Census counts, the county was successfully challenged to include additional majority-minority districts.
Kahn found that a "barebones 50.44 percent" black voting age population is not sufficient to warrant a fifth majority-minority district and that "the court cannot conclude, in the absence of any statistical voting evidence, that a twenty-year-old Consent Decree, evidence of socioeconomic similarities, and mere anecdotal evidence of cooperation between blacks and Hispanics in the community are in and of themselves sufficient to prove that the two groups are politically cohesive."
On the third measure, Kahn found that "the recent electoral successes of some minority candidates in Albany County suggest that longstanding bloc voting among whites that usually defeats the preferred minority candidate is in the process of changing."

The Episodes of Currency Crisis in Latin American and Asian Economies
This volume presents six monographs of currency crisis episodes in two Latin American countries in 1994-1995 (Mexico and Argentine) and four Asian countries in 1997-1998 (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Korea). The Asian part of this volume is supplemented with a short comparative note, commenting these four monographs. All the studies were prepared under the research project no. OI44/H02/99/17 on "Analysis of Currency Crises in Countries of Asia, Latin America and Central and Eastern Europe: Lessons for Poland and Other Transition Countries", carried out by CASE and financed by the Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) in the years 1999-2001. They were subjects of public presentation and discussion during the seminar in Warsaw organized by CASE on December 21, 2000, under the same research project. In the all analyzed cases currency crises were accompanied by other signs of financial turbulence such as (public and/or private) debt crisis or banking crisis. However, the limited scope of the conducted analysis forced the research team to concentrate on the currency crises and refer to banking and debt crisis only as the background or consequence of the currency devaluation. This collection of papers will be followed by another volume presenting episodes of currency crises in the European transition economies.

Even before a popular radio talk show host entered the contest, the race to fill a Congressional seat in a middle-class area east of here was already considered one of the nation's most competitive, a crucial November test of the Democrats' ability to capture seats in swing districts and regain some footing in the House of Representatives.
One high-profile novice was already running for the seat, in the Eighth Congressional District, which opened when the Republican incumbent, Jennifer Dunn, abruptly retired this year. He is Dave Reichert, a 53-year-old Republican, the charismatic King County sheriff best known for his role in solving the case of the Green River Killer, who murdered almost 50 women, terrifying the Seattle area for nearly two decades.
Keenly aware of Sheriff Reichert's formidable celebrity and the importance of the district to Democrats, the Washington State Democratic Party recently recruited Dave Ross, 52, the spunky, smooth-talking baritone who is host of a well-known CBS morning show on KIRO Newsradio, which he, in his signature booming and lyrical tones, tags as ''Crusaders for Common Sense.'' His commentaries are heard nationally on the CBS Radio Network.
''Spreading drive-by wisdom to the masses,'' says Mr. Ross, who also sings political parodies on the air and performs in amateur theater productions in Seattle.
Mr. Ross's name recognition positions him well for a political duel with the sheriff, even as his refusal to go off the air has prompted criticism by his Democratic opponent, Alex Alben, 46, a high-tech businessman from Mercer Island, and major newspapers.Continue reading the main story
But Mr. Ross, who also lives on Mercer Island, says he promised the radio station that he would continue the show for six more weeks before signing off late next month after filing his election papers.
''Welcome to the fray, Dave Ross,'' read the headline of an editorial in the Seattle Times on May 25, a few days after Mr. Ross announced his candidacy, ''Now get off the air.''
Ms. Dunn, who is close to President Bush and was one of the state's more influential Republicans since first being elected in 1992, had easily fended off Democratic challengers in the Eighth District. But other state Democrats, including Gov. Gary Locke, have done well there, Al Gore narrowly won the district in 2000, and Democrats are hopeful they can capture the seat, despite early polls that show Mr. Reichert with strong support.
The question of whether radio and television personalities can remain on the air while they campaign for office is not new. Among the most notable examples, Jesse Ventura, the former Minnesota governor, had a radio talk show but went off the air in 1998 as soon as he filed his election papers, with executives of his station saying the move was out of fairness to the election process. Patrick J. Buchanan, who was a co-host of CNN's ''Crossfire'' in 1995, left the show when he announced that he was running for president in the 1996 election, although he was criticized for using the show to build his campaign between 1992 and 1995.
Adding to the kerfuffle over whether Mr. Ross's decision to keep broadcasting gives him an unfair advantage, Mr. Alben broadcast his own campaign advertisements on Mr. Ross's show two weeks ago. In them Mr. Alben said: ''The Alex Alben for Congress campaign paid for this 60-second ad. But when Dave Ross talks about the issues, he gets $72,000 worth of free air time every day.''
Mr. Ross was unmoved by the advertisements, he said, and did not acknowledge them on the air, as part of his promise not to mention the race during the show. And he sounds generally impervious to criticism of his decision to stay on the air until he files his candidacy papers, saying that as a talk show host he is used to being in the hot seat.
''I took some heat for this,'' he said. ''But I've taken heat all my life.''
He added, ''If it hurts me, it hurts me.''
Mr. Ross said he had resisted running for office until recently because he thought, ''Who is going to elect me, because I've ticked everyone off?'' But he said he now felt a ''call to service,'' and the Democratic Party made clear that it was eager for him to run.
Mr. Alben, whose campaign says he has raised $600,000, far more than the other candidates, has picked up endorsements from several key Democrats, including the governor, for the primary on Sept. 14. Mr. Alben is a former vice president of RealNetworks, a Seattle company that streams audio and video through the Internet.
Once Mr. Ross files the papers, his opponents -- including several other lesser-known Democrats and Republicans -- would be entitled, under federal communications law, to free equal air time. That would amount to three hours a day, five days a week, since Mr. Ross's show is broadcast from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays. Mr. Ross, taking calls in his studio on Friday, quipped that perhaps Sheriff Reichert, Mr. Alben and he could be co-hosts.
But the station has already decided it will take Mr. Ross off the air at that point, said Ken Berry, its manager.
''It would be my goal to keep him on the air as long as possible,'' Mr. Berry said, adding that Mr. Ross's ratings put him comfortably ahead of Rush Limbaugh in the Seattle region in the same time slot. ''He's very popular with the audience.''
And in this case, Mr. Berry, added, ''the law is pretty clear.''
Federal election law, unlike communications law, is murkier. It prohibits a host who is a candidate from promoting his campaigns and soliciting contributions on the air, but is less clear on whether a candidate who is talking about politics or other issues is in fact promoting his candidacy, said Lawrence Noble, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign contributions, and a former lawyer for the Federal Elections Commission.
Mr. Alben contends that Mr. Ross's show, with its focus on politics, amounts to an illegal campaign contribution from the station because Mr. Ross is free to discuss many issues -- the economy, the war with Iraq, trade -- that affect his district. ''Under federal election law, we all play by the same rules,'' he said. ''I'm playing by the same rules, and to have a fair election, common sense says that no candidate should have a special advantage.''
The Alben campaign has no immediate plans to file a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, campaign officials said. ''It's up to Dave Ross if he wants to do the right thing,'' said Ben Vaught, Mr. Alben's campaign manager.
Some experts on federal election law say Mr. Ross's candidacy has highlighted gray areas.
''When someone is discussing the issues, you cannot distinguish their campaign from their role as a commentator,'' Mr. Noble said. ''It would be one thing if he were a D.J. playing songs and not discussing issues, but a talk show host -- there's clearly a problem if you're running for office at the same time.''
Sheriff Reichert has not taken sides in the dispute between his Democratic rivals and says he is confident of his own success.
''I don't really care what Dave Ross does,'' he said in an interview. ''He can stay on the radio, he can start his own TV show. It really doesn't matter to me. I'm just going to continue what I'm doing.''Continue reading the main story

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — While Cam Newton is quickly learning the NFL is more difficult than college, it hasn't dampened his enthusiasm and confidence as he prepares for the scrutiny of being the NFL's No. 1 overall draft pick.
And to listen to his Panthers teammates, Newton is saying and doing all the right things.
Newton and close to 50 of his new teammates completed two weeks of player-organized workouts Thursday morning. Newton says he's "got a grip" of the Carolina playbook despite not being able to talk to coaches because of the labor dispute. But Newton acknowledges there's a learning curve learning to read defenses and adjusting to the speed of the pro game.
Linebacker Jon Beason says Newton is a "specimen" and has showed "great leadership."

Luas trams not so noisy, says High Court
The Dublin 4 couple who sued because they felt the Luas trams were too noisy have lost their case:
From RTE:
A Dublin couple whose home is close to the Luas Green Line have lost a High Court action against the Railway Procurement Agency over noise from the trams.
Paula and Vincent Smyth of Cambridge Terrace, Leeson Park in Dublin had claimed they could not enjoy their house or garden because of the excessive noise from trams passing their home hundreds of times a day. The couple had sought injunctions restraining the RPA from operating the Green Line in a manner that caused noise nuisance and requiring them to erect an appropriate barrier to reduce the noise.
In a lengthy judgment, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy said despite the fact that the RPA had failed to comply with a requirement to set day and nighttime noise levels, the Smyths had failed to establish nuisance.
She said the issue of noise had been dealt with at a public inquiry and had not been challenged.
In their action, the couple had said that Luas trams passed their home 330 times between 5.30am and 12.30am every weekday and 254 times daily at weekends.
They said they were unable to enjoy their garden or hold a conversation when a tram passed. They said the most significant problem was sleep and they regularly had to sleep with the windows shut and use earplugs.
The case will come before the court in two weeks to address the issue of costs.
Dublin Bus driver attacked before bus is hijacked
A Dublin Bus driver, who is new to both bus driving and this country, was viciously attacked while doing his job last night. This is not the first attack on a driver in this part of Dublin, how long must these attacks continue before action is taken?
A Dublin Bus driver was severely assaulted and the bus he was driving hijacked before a passenger took control of the vehicle in the Liberties area last night.
The driver has been treated for broken bones in his hand and severe bruising.
A man has been arrested.
Consultants to recommend sweeping changes to Dublin Bus services
Plans by the government to make cuts on public transport in Ireland are gathering steam, with a consultants report recommending massive changes to transport provision.
One item worthy of special attention is that the minister is talking about reducing, or even removing, service provision on bus routes that are "under performing".
We don't expect things to remain as they are, and efficiencies that improve things for commuters are a great thing, but the focus of the government does not seem to be on the right things. They are asking "How can we save money?" when they should be asking "How can we make public transport better?".
As we have been saying from day one, public transport is not there to make money. One of it's functions is to get people moving so that they can generate money for the economy by getting to their destination on time, for instance to work or the shops. Is anyone actually quantifying the effect of Dublin Bus' service beyond the fare box?
Dublin Bus taken to court by private bus operators
The private operators who were complaining about anti-competitive practices alledgedly in operation by Dublin Bus are finally taking their case to the courts.
We will be watching with interest.
PRIVATE BUS operators Circleline and Mortons Coaches have lodged a multimillion euro law suit against Dublin Bus alleging anti-competitive practices on bus routes from Lucan and Celbridge to Dublin city centre, writes John Collins.
Circleline ceased trading last June after it claimed Dublin Bus "flooded" the routes with buses, a claim the latter has consistently denied.
Transport spending cuts announced in Budget 2009
Details of the 2009 budget were announced today, key points relating to the budget for the Department of Transport for the coming year are below.
As usual the devil is in the details, or in the lack of details. It is safe to assume that any Transport21 projects not mentioned below are dead, and any that are mentioned are by no means assured further funding. For instance planning works for the DART Interconnector means that not a sod of turf will be turned for that project in the coming year, similarly for Metro North.
Many of the transport items mentioned are not really spending, new or otherwise. for example, Luas extensions being paid for by the private sector are mentioned for some reason.
We await with interest the improved bus priority measures in Dublin and the regional cities, no doubt Noel will issue a flurry of press releases in the coming days.
And, of course, there is no mention of the Dublin Transport Authority, so is it still happening and who is paying for it? Or maybe the echos of the 1980s will continue…
Dublin Transport Authority brand rumours
It looks like the Dublin Transport Authority (DTA) will be branded as "Dublin Transport" when it launches in 2009. Peter Cranny, a Senior Transportation Planner for the Dublin Transportation Office, has registered both dublintransportauthority.ie and dublintransport.ie with the Irish Domain Registry, the body responsible for the management of Irish domain names (those dot-ie names that are used at the end of internet addresses).
Presumably dublintransportauthority.ie will be the corporate site and dublintransport.ie will be the one used to provide timetables, route planners and information to the general public.
Previously there was much talk of using a "Transport for Dublin" brand, in the style of "Transport for London" in the UK. Bearing that in mind, you would imagine our canny Mr. Cranny has registered that too… but, no! Low and behold, hasn't it already been registered, by CIE of all people. How very strange. Our curiosity was piqued when we saw who originally registered transportfordublin.ie for CIE, none other than Joe Ross.
Transport watchers with long memories will remember a Mr. Joe Ross who was the IT Expert who worked on the infamous mini-CTC signalling project which rose in cost by an estimated €45M. The fall-out from the costly project overspend caused outrage at the time, although nothing was ever done about it due to some legal technicalities which halted the inquiry's work.
So why has CIE registered this name? And why are they spending money on speculative domain names at all? Is this a reasonable use of taxpayers money?
Minister attempts to advise himself out of Transport21 mess
It's not quite a brand new news story that the government continue to waste huge amounts of money on consultants and logos, while projects continue to fall behind (metro north) and others are quietly scrapped (nearly everything else that is not related to road building) but it is worth noting nonetheless.
Meanwhile, Dublin Bus are crying out for funding for new buses and it is still not coming, leaving the network unable to cope with demand and ill-equipped to expand at all. There is no word on the minister's "investigation" into how many buses are needed in the city, presumably he has the best minds from Transport House on the case.
The most extraordinary thing about it all is that people feign shock the Noel Dempsey's number one priority is self promotion. What a surprise that is.
Senan Molony of the Indo writes:
TRANSPORT Minister Noel Dempsey spent €2m on consultants in the first six months of 2008 — with most of the money splurged on promoting the Transport 21 blueprint.
The bill was dubbed "truly astonishing" as it emerged that €1.2m has been spent this year on public relations, marketing and advertising.
The huge spend went towards promoting Transport 21, even though many projects aren't due for completion before 2020.
Labour Party finance spokeswoman Joan Burton said: "At a time when the Government has announced that it is cutting back on such frivolous and wasteful expenditure, it seems extraordinary that Mr Dempsey could continue to splurge taxpayers' money on promoting his department and himself."
Fake Dublin Bus ticket scam uncovered
Cormac Murphy of the Herald writes:
Fraudsters have been using forged bus and Luas tickets to evade public transport fares, it emerged today.
Dublin Bus launched a full-scale probe when the scam was uncovered, leading to the arrest of a number of suspects.
A man has already been fined €300 in court for using a fake pass, while other cases are pending.
Dublin Bus confirm dodgy brakes on some buses
Dublin Bus have been forced to admit that there is a fault with the brakes on certain buses (which ones?), and that it will take ten days to fix. Jay-walkers beware!
SIPTU says it has belatedly discovered that there is a mechanical problem associated with certain models of bus in the Dublin Bus fleet.
The union says that despite assurances from management it is concerned about driver and customer safety, and wants an independent safety body to examine the problem.
In response Dublin Bus confirmed there was an issue regarding a braking system on certain buses.
However the company said all the affected components were being replaced in a process that would take ten days.
In the meantime it stressed there was no risk to the safety of customers, staff or the general public.

Jennifer Aniston, "Sexiest Woman of All Time", Fights Aging
Recently Jennifer Aniston was selected out of a hundred women as the "Sexiest Woman of All Time" by readers of "Men's Health", and even she has wrinkle problems. Yes, aging creeps up on you and in "People" she confesses that she's worried about aging, but won't go under the knife to look younger. As far as other treatments, she says, "People think that I do a lot of injections, but I don't. I'm not saying that I haven't tried it. But I see how it's a slippery slope. All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me." Aniston says one precaution she's taking is avoiding the sun because she's starting to get those little sun spots and the texture of her skin is changing. "So I've recently started zapping the spots and getting spray tans whenever I can. And I've graduated to use SPF 60 when I'm on the beach". Whatever she's doing must be working considering her 'Ms. sexy' title which she received in early December.

NEW YORK (Jul. 21)
The World Confederation of General Zionist announced here today the establishment of a General Zionist colony–"Timurim"–in the Galilee in Israel. Situated on approximately 400 acres of Jewish National Fund land, the settlement is inhabited chiefly by young South African and Rumanian Jews.
"The establishment of Timurim, as well as other colonies, will, to some extent, compensate us for the tragic loss of Nitzanim," Dr. Israel Goldstein, president of the Confederation, declared, Nitzanim was dessroyed by a fierce Arab assault in the Arab-Israeli war.

Duchamping at the Bit
Oprah Winfrey needed to prove the depth and breadth of Sir Anthony Hopkins' talent. So the other day on her show she asked the Oscar-winning actor to read aloud from the Chicago Yellow Pages. He played right along, declaiming with great flourish: "Professional Nail Care! Women and men! Two dollars off!" He continued on, impersonating Marlon Brando and Richard Burton in an elegant recitation of listings as the audience ate it up like fava beans. The master thespian had taken what could have been a humiliating talk show stunt and given it real bravura.
So what would happen if lesser actors were handed pages and pages of similarly banal gobbledygook and asked to perform it for an audience? Well, you might end up with (The) Book of Matches, a new work by Our Endeavors Theater Collective, or Margo Veil: An Entertainment, the latest waste of an evening presented by the Undermain Theatre. After these, the Yellow Pages sounds like pure poetry.
(The) Book of Matches at least has a reason for its weirdness. OETC conceived the 40-minute performance piece (it can't really be called a play) to accompany the Dallas Museum of Art's exhibition of works by French Dada-ist Marcel Duchamp. Written by John Flores, who also appears in it, the (The) experience pays homage to the artist's oeuvre, which incorporated unexpected moving parts, bits of deconstructed machines, found objects, everyday appliances and snatches of language.
The performance features Lainie Simonton, dressed provocatively in a black tutu and red bra, and Lulu Ward, doll-like face frozen in a ghoulish smile. With Flores, they flip, flop and fly around a corner of DMA's Chilton Gallery, moving like mechanical toys wound just a tad too tightly. "Brother, can you paradigm?" Ward asks over and over, to no one in particular. They slap themselves, do silly walks, crawl up and over a padded tabletop and ignore the sudden intrusions of sirens and deafening buzzers provided by sound designer Frank Mendez, who sits on the floor behind a pile of noisemakers and handheld lights, playing disjointed accompaniment on electric keyboards and a child's xylophone. "Rinse, lather, repeat!" the actors shout. They chant like a mantra a series of other ordinary phrases: "How does this fit? Can't you get more? I'm dying over here. I simply must have them."
They go through all their motions with great physical abandon, working up quite a lather themselves. But is what they're doing art? That's the whole argument about Dada-ism. Duchamp signed his name on a ceramic urinal, titled it "Fountain" and hung it on a wall. Critics scoffed in 1917, but it's now considered by many experts to be the single most influential piece of modern art. Our Endeavors' little show is no masterpiece, but there might be those who glean from it some artistically rendered, deeply ironic message about media noise and the futility of existence...or something. (The) Book of Matches strikes me as just a silly excuse to draw a crowd.

Twice as long as (The) and not (half) as kooky-fun is Undermain's Margo Veil: An Entertainment. With a title like that, they're really courting disaster, because if it isn't entertaining from the get-go, then they've broken a promise to the audience.
So they owe us one. Margo Veil, by writer Len Jenkin, finds eight actors playing many parts in an 80-minute, deconstructed, Dada-esque jumble of not very interesting characters and not very good singing and dancing.
The show starts conventionally enough with a narrator (Bruce DuBose) introducing Margo (Shannon Kearns), a young actress whose appearance in a Broadway flop called Distant Candelabras has her yearning to return home to the Midwest. She takes a job accompanying a corpse by train to Rapid City, South Dakota, for which she'll earn $500 and a black Valentino dress. Things begin to get strange for Margo when she delivers the casket and its contents and meets an escaped convict (Jack Birdwell). They fall in love and begin some sort of Hitchhiker's Guide-type road trip. At this point in the proceedings, it all goes into wonky non-linear mode. Suddenly Margo is played by another actress after some incident with a soul-changing machine run by a woman named Big Betty (Rhonda Boutte) who wears a coat with a stuffed pink penis hanging off of it.
A sequence with a radio evangelist (Matthew Posey) interrupts the previous scene and spins everything off in a different direction. Then on comes a Lithuanian girl, Ruta (Carrie Bourne), and her grandfather (Posey again), who talk about milking their cows and the Holocaust. A guy named Dwayne (Joel McDonald) sings a song about Bo Diddley being a gunslinger. Some people are poisoned (including Posey yet again, this time doing a really bad Vincent Price), and they fall off a balcony.
There are many scenes on trains (pairs of chairs lined up center stage). In one a girl named Roxanne (Brady Fuqua) delivers this speech:
Look out there...Strip mall with a Laundromat, Dunkin' Donuts, tropical fish store, tank glows in the window, one huge angelfish gliding alone and slow in the green light. Turn and turn again under the cold stars. A vacant lot overrun by weeds, plastic trash bags torn open and my baby brother squats by a fire, stupid spider tattoo on his left cheek, blood under his fingernails, dirty piece of string knotted around his neck. There's the Riverside Motel, naked people on the sagging beds, full of guilt and fear, fucking away their troubles in the dawn's early light. Tractor-trailer out of Memphis hauling chicken parts...
And it goes on some more. And then some more after that. The list from hell. Roxanne talks about Santa Claus on a milk crate, and she meets a magician (DuBose, doing a terrible Bela Lugosi) and they blather on about, oh, this, that and the other, for what seems like another long stretch of eternity.
At no time in Margo Veil do any two characters ever engage in real conversation. They just talk at and around each other in wordy strings of verbiage, sometimes spouting nonsensical clumps of language. There are mentions of "fog" and "the language of bees." They talk forever about nothing.
And when it seems like they can't possibly keep it up, there are still 45 minutes left of Margo Veil (and no intermission).
There's some hint in Jenkin's script that this "entertainment" was written as a sincere, if rather bizarre, tribute to old radio shows of the 1930s and '40s. With all its choppy stories and character-jumping, it is a bit like listening to someone switch radio channels too quickly between vintage radio dramas such as The Shadow, One Man's Family and Stella Dallas. But at least there's an "off" switch on a radio.
Now in its 22nd season, Undermain Theatre continues to specialize in staging weird, nearly unwatchable works in its gloomy, subterranean space. Perhaps this company is an acquired taste, like arugula and televised darts. They do have at least one devotee. On opening night of Margo Veil: An Entertainment, one gentleman laughed like a hyena all the way through it. Most everybody else just sat quietly, trying to figure out what in the bloody blue blazes was going on. I'll admit it--I was licked. Any page of the phone book would make more sense to me and sound just as good read aloud.

Don't worry "Hangover" fans – "Fat Jesus" is not going to shave his beard.
The hilarious Zach Galifianakis revealed "Hangover 2" production details and discussed the fate of his famous facial hair with Access Hollywood at the Toronto Film Festival, leaving our crew in stitches as he spoke.
"I've never really have been asked to shave [my beard] for a role," the comedian told Access Hollywood's guest correspondent, Entertainment Weekly's Dave Karger, at a junket for his new film, "It's Kind Of A Funny Story." "Nobody's asked me to do that. I mean, when I do shave, I look like a fat Jodie Foster."
"Underneath this beard, I have a port wine stain in the shape of India… Arie," he continued, as he struggled to keep a straight face. "Last week I found a small golf pencil in my beard."
The funnyman told Access that his signature stubble and teddy bear-like physique are part of a master plan to join the roster of Hollywood's leading men.
"You know how a lot of actors, they start really good-looking, and then they get old and grow a beard and get fat?" Zach asked. "I'm starting with the fat beard thing, and then I'm gonna get thin, and shave it, and then I'm gonna be like a romantic lead. So I'm going in reverse."
Production on "The Hangover" sequel is set begin in early October, and the comedian said that thanks to the hit movie's all-star cast, he truly is no longer a "one-man wolf pack."
"We're friends now," Zach laughed. "We all kind of hang out and spend holidays together, so it's a lot of fun."
While the "Dinner For Schmucks" star said there will be a few "pretty exciting" new faces joining "The Hangover 2," he could only reveal one.
"Bruce Vilanch will be playing my partner," Zach joked.
Zach can next be seen in the comedy "Due Date," alongside Robert Downey Jr., when it hits theaters on November 5.

A doubleheader post today–two games for the price of one.
On Tuesday evening, Ben Sheets and his blister got behind early, 3-0, after the first inning…but Sheets settled down, Prince Fielder got his 17th homer of the season, and the offense battled back for 15 hits, and beat the Braves and John Smoltz, 5-4, to bring both team's records to 29-23.
Wednesday's start by Dave Bush was even more impressive–just one ER over 7 IP–but the Braves' Tim Hudson kept the Braves in it, taking a 1-1 tie into the bottom of the 7th, but giving up the go ahead run on a wild pitch with backup catcher Damian Miller on third. But the 2-1 lead evaporated in the top of the 8th, when the overworked bullpen collapsed–a pair of walks and a hit off Derrick Turnbow netted 3 runs, then, after situational lefty Brian Shouse surrendered a double to Braves' catcher Brian McCann, Chris Spurling got tagged for 5 hits and 3 more ER's to finish up the Braves' 7-run 8th. Prince Fielder tried to get a rally going in the bottom of the 8th with his league leading 18th homer of the season off Braves' reliever Rafael Soriano, but the Braves manufactured yet another run in the 9th to finish up the 9-3 pounding of the Brewers.
Sure, it was a day game after a night game, but skipper Ned Yost used 5 relievers in last night's win (Spurling was the only one that got the night off), and came back with Spurling plus Turnbow, Shouse, and Wise each pitching Wednesday in back-to-back appearances. The bullpen will get over 24 hours to rest up, as tomorrow's game is another evening affair.
On deck for tomorrow night–the Marlins and former Brewer Wes Obermueller. The Mets tagged Obermueller for 7 ER over 4 IP in his last start…let's hope he has that same stuff tomorrow night. Claudio Vargas will try to keep the relievers in the pen.

More problems
Computer's being flaky again. Locking up for several seconds at a time. Poser crashes. And now its running CHKDSK on start up.
It's not overheating. It's on a UPS, which hasn't tripped over to battery lately. I know it's clean. It doesn't seem likely two drives would go bad the same way, unless it's the motherboard. The motherboard's fairly new tho. I'm gonna try swapping out the CPU from my old computer.
And so, more update delays.

The new radio link is comprised of the company's ZL70321 implantable radio module and its ZL70120 base station radio module for external device controllers. Both modules are based on Microsemi's ultra low power (ULP) ZL70102 medical implantable communications service (MICS) band radio transceiver chip, which supports a high data rate RF link for medical implantable communication applications.
Radio frequency technology is increasingly being used in a wide variety of medical implantable applications including cardiac care, physiological monitoring (e.g. insulin), pain management and obesity treatments.
The ZL70321 implantable module implements all RF-related functions needed to deploy the implant node in a MICS RF telemetry system. The integrated antenna tuning circuit allows the module to be used with a wide range of implant antennas (nominal antenna impedance is 100+j150 Ω). The module provides the following major blocks a ZL70102-based MICS RF transceiver with integrated matching network, SAW filters for suppression of unwanted blockers and antenna tuning; a 2.45 GHz wake-up receiver matching network; an integrated 24 MHz reference frequency crystal; and decoupling capacitors.
The ZL70120 base station radio module also includes all RF-related functions required to deploy the external device functions in a MICS-band RF telemetry system. It is designed to meet regulatory requirements including FCC, ETSI and IEC. Additional features include integrated matching network, bandpass filters for suppression of unwanted blockers and an extra receiver LNA for maximized receiver sensitivity.
The module is equipped with a2.45-GHz wake-up transmitter and antenna matching network while a RSSI filter and logarithmic amplifier simplify clear channel assessment (CCA) required by the MICS standard. There is also a 24-MHz XO reference frequency for the 400-MHz and 2.45-GHz subsystems.
Microsemi's ZL70102 transceiver chip, which is used on both the implantable and base station modules, allows patient health and device performance data to be quickly transmitted with little impact to the useful battery life of the implanted device. The device operates in the

Great Spangled Fritillaries
From mid-June through mid-September Great Spangled Fritillaries are the most common Fritillary in the eastern United States. Here are two in Marcy Cunkelman's garden.
The word fritillary fascinated me. What does it mean and why does it name a whole group of butterflies?
It comes from the Latin for dice-box.
The butterfly is named Fritillary because it has a brown spotty pattern reminiscent of dice.
A family of lilies is named Fritillaria because they are brownish with a checkered, spotty pattern. Here's Fritillaria meleagris:
They're both dice-y. 😉

How timely. I saw one of these today on a Purple Coneflower that I just planted yesterday, and didn't know what it was. Was going to look it up, but didn't have to, just needed to tune into your blog!
Here is a video: http://youtu.be/KJlm0cPEgwE
Enjoy. Next time I'll turn the phone around.

Like Stephen, I also was not familiar with this butterfly that was hanging out on my butterfly bush! Thanks, as always, for providing us with such useful information.

Hodgson believes England's World Cup preparation has been perfect
Hodgson believes England's World Cup preparation has been perfect
England manager Roy Hodgson believes his side's 3-0 win over Peru has given them the perfect preparation ahead of this summer's World Cup.
Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge gave the hosts the lead in spectacular style after 32 minutes, before Gary Cahill and Phil Jagielka converted Leighton Baines corners to secure the win.
Hodgson was delighted with the support for the team at Wembley and believes the send-off was fitting as the team now fly out to Miami to play international friendlies against Ecuador and Honduras, before heading to Brazil to play their opening Group D fixture against Italy on June 14.
"It is the perfect end to a perfect two weeks. It was a wonderful send-off to the World Cup by a quite incredible crowd," Hodgson told Sky Sports.
"It didn't look as if it would be too comfortable in the first half, but as soon as Daniel [Sturridge] scored that wonderful goal the game wasn't in doubt.
"To do it in front of 85,000 people was a great send-off, the atmosphere was a vote of confidence.
"When you play against teams with 10 men behind the ball you have to be patient but I had no doubt we would win."
Hodgson also calmed nerves regarding Leighton Baines' injury scare, confirming that England had no concerns and the defender was replaced by Everton team-mate John Stones in the second half merely as a precaution.
"The most important thing for us was to come through it unscathed, injury-wise," he added.
"[Taking Baines off] was caution on our part. He could have continued but the game was over."
The manager also revealed that Luke Shaw, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Phil Jones would play a part in England's mid-week friendly against Ecuador.
"They'll play on Wednesday [against Ecuador].
"They could have played tonight, but I determined they'd start the game on Tuesday and we had a lot of subs on the bench. We thought we'd give them another day's training."
Hodgson was quick to defend striker Wayne Rooney who was replaced after 66 minutes following a difficult performance in front of goal.
"I was happy with Wayne Rooney's performance," he said.
"Rooney and [Steven] Gerrard are important members of our squad, and 3-0 seemed an opportunity to give younger ones a go. We think [Rooney's] fitness is progressing.
"I don't have any fears in that respect. His attitude and commitment are first class, even in a game of this nature. He has two more weeks to keep that going. I'm very pleased with the options I've got in my strike force."

A Conversation for Cricket - How To Get Out
A couple of errors here
malocao Started conversation Mar 10, 2011
The Tenth Way - Stumped
"A striker cannot be out stumped off a no-ball ..." - true
"... although it is perfectly legitimate for a quick thinking wicket-keeper to throw the ball to a fielder to effect a run-out!" - not true. The striker can't be run out from a no-ball unless he attempts a run, and in that case the WK can do the running-out without help.
The Eleventh Way
Poor young Abdul Aziz (only 18) was indeed hit in the chest, but not by a fast ball - it was a slow ball from a spin bowler - and it's theorised that the blow aggravated an undiagnosed heart condition. See for example his Wikipedia bio. (These days we hear all about Cardiac Risk in the Young, but in 1959 it was probably unknown.)
