The Suffolk County Department of Fire Rescue and Emergency Services has contracted with Emergency Communications Network to license it CodeRED high-speed notification system. Suffolk will use this system to contact Suffolk Residents in the event of an actual or impending emergency. Click Here to: Sign up to Receive Emergency Notifications from the Suffolk County Code Red Emergency Notification System. The CodeRED emergency notification system is an extremely high speed telephone communication service that can deliver customized pre-recorded emergency messages directly to Suffolk County homes and business at the proven capacity of millions of calls per day. Code Red also has high speed email and text messaging capability The CodeRED system incorporates a mapping tool that will allow Suffolk Emergency Managers to send notifications to specific geographic areas by selecting them on a map. In addition with CodeRED we will be able to send notifications to predefined geographic areas such as villages, townships or zip codes. CodeRED has provided Suffolk County with a calling data base that includes the residences and businesses within the county. To further enhance accuracy Suffolk County has supplemented this database with the data from our 911 call system. In addition the Suffolk Code Red system allows Suffolk residents to register two phone numbers and one email address to receive notifications. We urge all individuals and businesses to log onto the secure Suffolk County Community Notification Enrolment to add or update their contact information to ensure that they will be included when a message is sent. The data collected will only be used for emergency notification purposes.

Those without Internet access may call the Office of Emergency Management's Customer Service Center (631-852-4900), Monday through Friday, (9AM-5PM) to supply their information over the phone.
Code Red's capabilities: Speed The CodeRED dialing infrastructure is capable of placing far more telephone calls into an area than the typical city's telephone infrastructure can accommodate. CodeRED advertises the capacity to deliver millions of calls per day or 1,000 calls per minute as this throughput can be realized for 98% of CodeRED client communities
CodeRED cites the following examples to illustrate their capabilities : Government agencies have relied on the system to make over 20 million emergency calls during recent hurricane seasons. 57 separate agencies used the system during Hurricane Wilma. Over 7.5 million calls over a two week period were launched during Hurricanes Charley, Frances and Ivan. The system has been used throughout the United States for hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, earthquakes, snowstorms and virtually every type of emergency situation. Delivering messages to voicemail and answering machines If a person does not answer the telephone, CodeRED will deliver the message in its entirety to voicemail and answering devices. TTY/TDD Calling The CodeRED message can be delivered in text format to hearing impaired individual's TTY/TDD equipment.
Caller ID Last Number Call Back Message recipients may dial the toll-free number displayed on their Caller ID to hear the last Code Red message delivered to that phone number.
System redundancy The stability of the CodeRED infrastructure is built upon triple redundancy. The ECN family of companies owns, operates and maintains its own equipment and dialers, which are collocated with our long distance providers in multiple "hardened facilities" around the country. As a result, CodeRED operates independently of, and without regards to, any situation that may exist with the business facilities or structures.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Weeverfis58973h StingMedical Author:
Scott D. Fell, DO, FAAEM
Medical Editor:
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACRDr. Shiel received a Bachelor of Science degree with honors from the University of Notre Dame. There he was involved in research in radiation biology and received the Huisking Scholarship. After graduating from St. Louis University School of Medicine, he completed his Internal Medicine residency and Rheumatology fellowship at the University of California, Irvine. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
Weeverfish Sting OverviewThe weeverfish is the most venomous fish found in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Eastern Atlantic Ocean, North Sea, and European coastal areas. It is often referred to as the sea dragon, sea cat, stang, and adder-pike. Weeverfish are small (4 to 21 inches) long, and usually live in the sand or mud, often burying themselves, along coastal areas. They are usually docile, however when provoked can strike with pinpoint accuracy. Weeverfish inject their venom from long "spines" that number from four to eight, and are needle sharp along the back of the fish. Each spine can measure up to 1 ¾ inches in length. When provoked to attack, they extend these spines to strike at prey. Weeverfish can survive for extended times (hours) out of the water and the venom can still be active for hours as well in dead animals. Weeverfish Sting SymptomsProfessional fishermen or vacationers are often those that receive the sting from a weeverfish. Envenomation often occurs when wading in sandy, muddy coastal waters or swimming, and accidental contact or threat to the fish occurs inviting the sting to occur. The spine of the fish is strong enough to penetrate through a leather boot. The pain of the sting is instant, and described and burning and crushing and can spread to involve the entire leg (or arm) from where the puncture occurred. Pain typically peaks at 30 minutes then resolves by 24 hours, but can persists for many days. The puncture site itself can show redness, bruising and warmth over a 6 to 12 hour time period. Swelling can increase in the affected limb for up to a week. Infections are common due to the depth of the puncture and the "dirty" nature of the puncture from murky, sandy or muddy water. There also have been cases of gangrene due to infection. Occasionally, a wound is left at the site of the puncture that can take months to heal. While symptoms of the weeverfish sting occur at the site itself, total body (also called systemic) symptoms can occur such as fever, chills, seizures, fainting (syncope), nausea, low blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia (irregular or extra heart beats), headaches, sweating, and difficulty breathing. While not common, death can occur due to complications from the venom. Next Page: |

'Sinkhole season' has only just begun in Florida
March 5, 2013 @ 1:04 pm
SEFFNER, Fla. (AP) - As crews entombed a man who was swallowed by a sinkhole near Tampa, the earth opened up again just a few miles away.
In a neighboring county, officials investigated reports of a home cracking on Tuesday, perhaps due to another sinkhole.
Across Florida this time of year, State Geologist Jonathan Arthur says it's the start of what's unofficially considered the "sinkhole season."
He says it coincides with the state's rainy season and usually lasts until the end of summer.
Arthur looked at 50 years of data and found that there is usually an uptick of reported sinkholes in February, with an increase until about July, when activity tapers off.
Both extremely dry weather and very wet weather can trigger sinkholes. Man-made activities can also cause the earth to collapse.

The NUMA series is a large series of novels featuring oceanographer and Adventurer Archaeologist Dirk Pitt and his motley pals in the National Underwater and Marine Agency (which is described shortly but aptly as "the maritime counterpart of NASA"). The series were created by Clive Cussler, although he has teamed up with other authors to write his books, notably Craig Dirgo and his son, Dirk Cussler.There are three actual series: Dirk Pitt, The Numa Files, and The Oregon Files. There have been two movie adaptations- Raise the Titanic! and Sahara.See here for descriptions of the novel plots.
The NUMA Series novels contain examples of: open/close all folders General Tropes
Tropes found in Crescent Dawn
Tropes found in Cyclops
Tropes found in Deep Six
Tropes found in Dragon
Tropes found in Atlantis Found
Tropes found in Inca Gold
Gunn: The State Department experts and the Congressional Committee on Latin American Affairs think you both should hang around and make the dirty Yankees look good by helping to halt the looting of Peru's cultural heritage. Pitt: In other words, our esteemed government wants to milk our benevolent image for all it's worth.

A leaked European flyer details everything that is included in the Hardened Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The highly anticipated game isn't scheduled for release until November 8, but some lucky gamers will have the opportunity to check out the game this weekend at a special event in Los Angeles.
An anonymous source provided the leaked picture to Wired which indicates Hardened will come with a one year Call of Duty: Elite membership, a collectible SteelBook case, special in-game founder status, a 100-page collectible field journal, a Special Ops outfit for your Live avatar, PSN animated timeline theme and unique art on the game disc.
Again, this leak is regarding the European version only, however the US flavors have remained identical in previous releases.
Modern Warfare 3 will be offered in three different versions: the regular retail game, the Hardened Edition and the top-of-the-line Prestige Edition. Although no pricing was mentioned, previous Call of Duty launches have seen Hardened sell for $80 and Prestige go for $150.
It's likely that many more details about the game will be released this weekend at the first-ever Call of Duty XP fan event hosted in Los Angeles. Fans of the series will have the opportunity to play the game's multiplayer mode as well as participate in a host of COD-related live events, such as playing paintball in a real-world recreation of Modern Warfare 2's Scrapyard map and chowing down at Burger Town.
Tickets for the two-day event are $150 which includes a copy of Hardened when it's released. All attendees must be 18 years of age or older. 100 percent of ticket sales go to the Call of Duty Endowment fund, a non-profit organization that helps veterans find work and establish a career as they transition back to civilian life.

Actually under the right circumstances, you can polish shit. This has been proven on Mythbusters.
robert bowling, your mom should have swallowed you
I've actually enjoyed most of the CoD SP campaigns over the years, but the MP is... well... not BF. Nuff said.
@darkshadoe +1 to that (i love Mythbusters too) Also the phrase has a metaphorical meaning too, but this and every meaning of the phrase was rendered pretty much useless by this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist's_shit
Literally £97,250 for a piece of shit xD
Just give me my freaking hardened edition and im happy
Wot about Prestige Edition? It would just be this and a special item
yall are dumb you keep saying its play station this and that but if you look at the flyer from the suppoused leak its the xbox 360 disc lmao
I really hope this CoD is absolutely crap in every sense of the "Crap" as I want the franchise to die. What Activision did to the orginal developer (Infinity Ward) was diabolical and every game since their departure has been rubbish.
In a way I hope this is a good game as I can still play CoD2 and MW and find both quite fun, MW2 was a complete let down multiplayer wise and BO was aweful. I have actually purchased a CoD since MW anyhow. Although 90% of me wants this game to fail miserably.
wanting a franchise to die that supports veterans looking for a *new* life is truly disturbing Burty117..so sad of u do think that about a situation...if u dont like it then have nothing to say rather than post negative comments...the world needs less people that thinks like u
your right, modern warfare 2 was a letdown in multiplayer but not half as much as black ops -.-
if modern warfare 3 can A) get rid of tactical insertion completely and B) sort the F***KING spawn systems out then i will be a happy ps3 user :)

I wasn't aware of this and I'm sure Burty117 wasn't either. It's good that they give money to this cause but it doesn't excuse the game being poor. I enjoyed MW2 as I hadn't played the original MW or World at War so it was something new to me. I ignored Black Ops completely as for me it was very much MW2.5. A new upgrade/perk system and maps. Nothing much else was added. If you think of any other type of software these upgrades would probably be sold as a service pack rather than a full application. This is how I feel about the milking that is being performed on the CoD cash cow.

Prof. Timur Yuskaev Featured on CT-N Program
At the invitation of host and media personality Diane Smith, Prof. Timur Yuskaev appeared as a panelist in a "Live at the Old State House" program on Nov. 12, 2013. View the entire program at this link.
The topic was "Japanese Internment - National Safety vs. Civil Rights," and Prof. Yuskaev spoke about the parallels to how different religious groups, including Muslims, have been treated in the U.S.
Featured on the program was Prof. Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, director of the Asian American Studies Institute at the University of Connecticut, who spoke about Japanese Interment. In describing her talk, Prof. Schlund-Vials said: "Acknowledged as a "dark moment" in U.S. history, the Japanese American Internment (1942-1946) remains a potent reminder of racialized wartime anxiety. Notwithstanding the passage of more than seven decades, the Japanese American Internment is - with regard to "War on Terror" discussions about civil liberties - still relevant. As this presentation underscores, the xenophobic politics that brought the internment into being were by no means limited to the immediacy of war. Nor did the threat to civil liberties end with the internment."
The third panelist was Hope Metcalf, director of the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program at Yale Law School.
The program will be aired on the CT-N network. Click here for a schedule or online access to the taping.

Tax extensions come with some pitfalls
Sunday - 4/14/2013, 6:58am  ET
WASHINGTON - Monday is Tax Day and some may not be ready to file their federal returns, so they will need an extension. But the move will not delay having to pay the Internal Revenue Service.
Getting an extension is as easy as visiting the IRS website and clicking Form 4868 which gives you an automatic six-month extension that ends on Oct.15. But USA Today reports, a filer still has to make an effort to estimate and pay the tax owed. If you don't pay what is owed, then interest will accrue on it until it is paid.
Those who file for an extension might also be charged a late payment penalty unless filers have a very good reason for not paying on time.

New York Yankees introduce line of signature logo apparel
Posted on June 23rd, 2010
From the stadium to the streets, the New York Yankees certainly know how to get fans' attention. They've won more World Series championships than any other team in Major League Baseball, they completed the 2009 regular season with the best overall record, and even non-baseball fans can't avoid hearing about Alex Rodriguez's love life (Madonna! Kate Hudson!) Earlier this month, the team increased media frenzy by unveiling a line of logo apparel at Yankee Stadium.

Select Cinemas, the proprietors of RiverWalk Movies, believe that suburban moviegoers shouldn't have to go out of their way to catch Hollywood's latest offerings. They also believe that movie theaters can boost neighboring businesses, which is why everybody wins when they integrate themselves into communities. But movies matter most, and RiverWalk Movies has an edge on urban multiplexes. All eight of their screens are wall-to-wall. All auditoriums feature stadium, rocking-chair-style seating, which prevents neck craning when sitting behind Bigfoot, and digital surround sound fit for humans with 10 ears. RiverWalk also prides itself on its concessions, especially the popcorn, and offers free shows to satiate kids during summer vacations.
As a nonprofit, art-house movie theater, Circle Cinema screens documentaries, independent films, and foreign films in an effort to deepen Tulsa's understanding and appreciation of the diverse human experience. The theater first opened its doors in 1928 and, as the city's only pre-1960s theater, it has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition to providing shelter from screaming clouds, the theater fosters progressive forward thinking with a host of intellectually stimulating films. Screenings have included The Artist, which won the Academy Award for Best Film in 2012, as well as Revenge of the Electric Car, a documentary focused on auto manufacturers' race to perfect electric transportation. Circle Cinema also hosts premieres of locally produced films and films created by aspiring directors in high school and college courses.
At Showplex Cinemas, it's the same scene every night. The lights dim, and the crowd quickly falls silent. After some song-and-dance from the concession stand and a few thrilling trailers, main attractions from Hollywood's biggest movie makers flicker to life on screen. Thanks to Showplex's screening systems, moviegoers in five states share in this immersive entertainment tradition, which is as American as the hot dogs they sell in the lobby. Recently under the new management of Starplex Cinemas, Showplex has lowered ticket prices and added more items to the concessions lineup. The theaters' Facebook page increases the community aspect, helping moviegoers stay abreast of the newest releases as well as flashback screenings of classic flicks.
The façade of Eton Square 6 evokes the decade when it was founded, but the cinematic spectacles playing on each screen couldn't be more of-the-moment. Founded in the mid-'80s, a retro white-and-green triangle still towers above the theater's yellow sign while movie posters depict new releases and an essay on the future of "Back to the Future."

Training camp continues on day five at Dove Valley, and on the verge of a record-setting heat wave, the offense got back into gear Tuesday. It seemed as if the defense had the offense all dialed in yesterday, but today the men in blue redeemed themselves and appeared to be firing on all cylinders.
ATTENDANCE REPORT: Montrae Holland worked out on a side field with Strength and Conditioning Coach Rich Tuten for the morning session…Peyton Hillis watched from the sidelines for a second day with a left hamstring injury, but he was a practice-time decision, signaling he could return soon…Chad Mustard remains sidelined with his right hamstring injury…Tom Nalen sat out the morning session in an effort to give his surgically repaired knee some rest.
POSTURING FOR POSITION: With Nalen out, Casey Wiegmann worked at center with the first team.
At defensive end, Tim Crowder rotated in with the ones. Alvin McKinley also saw action on the interior of the line with the first unit.
Nate Jackson had a strong showing at tight end, working with the first unit opposite Tony Scheffler.
Michael Pittman worked almost exclusively at fullback.
FOCAL POINTS: After a standout performance by the defense yesterday, the offense rebounded with a focus on 11-on-11s, 7-on-7s and the normal position drills. The team brought out the clock for the first time in training camp to work on the four-minute offense. On three different series, the offense drove down the field, working against the defense and the clock, and got into the endzone.
TAKE AWAYS: Practice began with a laugh as D.J. Williams dismissed Brett Kern for his poor leadership of team stretching. Williams brought up P.J. Alexander to finish the job.
- Jackson made the most of his time working with the ones at tight end. Cutler looked his way on several plays, including two in a row, both of which Jackson turned into big gains. He also impressed coaches, teammates and fans with an impressive contested grab in traffic from Patrick Ramsey.
- About half-way through practice, the team worked on punt formations and returns. Eddie Royal, Glenn Martinez and Marquay McDaniel took turns fielding the punts, with Royal getting the first crack at them. Coaches praised him for his work, particularly when he adjusted well and cleanly fielded a short, wobbly punt. Both Sam Paulescu and Kern kicked, and both booted them well as they compete for a roster spot.
- Rookie Jack Williams got into the rotation with the second unit, working opposite Domonique Foxworth. On back-to-back plays, Williams sniffed out the play and took out Selvin Young and Cecil Sapp, drawing shouts of "Way to go Jack" from his teammates. On one play, Williams blanketed Brandon Marshall as he ran a deep route down the sideline. The 5-foot-9 Williams leaped and broke up the pass intended for the 6-foot-4 Marshall.
- In the ongoing battle at middle linebacker, Niko Koutouvides worked with the first team defense this morning after Nate Webster had done so for the past few days.
- Rookie Josh Barrett got cheers from his teammates and fans when he burst through the line on a blitz and took down Anthony Alridge in the backfield.
- Competition at running back continued to heat up, with Ryan Torain and Andre Hall both taking a lot of snaps behind Selvin Young. All three of them, along with Alridge, broke plays for big gains at various points in 11-on-11 drills.
- Pittman worked well at the fullback position this morning and did a combination of blocking, rushing and catching. He often would run a pattern into the flats where both Cutler and Ramsey connected with him several times.
- The offense won the day, and with the exception of a few fumbles and dropped balls, the only miscue appeared to be when an errant Ramsey throw landed in Marlon McCree's waiting arms.
- Brandon Marshall continued to have a solid camp, with Cutler looking his way on the first pass of almost every drill. He made several difficult grabs in traffic, evading would-be tacklers.
"Fullback, I am fine with it. If coach asks me to do it, I'll do it and do the best I can."
Michael Pittman, on his work at the fullback position.

McDonnell Douglas F-15A Eagle |
Serial Number: 74-0118
Markings: 325th Tactical Fighter Wing, Tyndall AFB, Florida, 1992
The Eagle was designed in the late 1960s in response to an Air Force request for a new air superiority fighter. The McDonnell-Douglas design was accepted by the Air Force in December 1969. One of the primary requirements for the aircraft was that it be very maneuverable at a wide range of speeds and altitudes. Many of the Eagle's design features, including; the twin tails, two engines and large-area wing, are a result of this requirement. At a normal weight the F-15A has a thrust to weight ratio of 1.17 to 1. This means that for every pound of weight of the aircraft, the engines produce 1.17 pounds of thrust giving the Eagle the ability to accelerate straight up. Later versions of the Eagle remain the primary air superiority fighter for the U.S. Air Force, but are beginning to be replaced by the F-22 Raptor. |

Our sofa originally came with cushions in different colors that were no longer working with our interior design. Most beginning sewing projects are pillow cases and such, so for my first sewing project I did a new set of covers for the five sofa cushions.
I used KnollTextiles "Knoll Felt" in Tar, Smoke, and Grey. I liked the fabric for it's textural softness and color, and after a lot of experimentation, found it easy to work with with its architectural quality.
Using the existing covers as a pattern/template, I used a simple zig zag stitch on the reverse/inside. I used a rotary cutter to ensure crisp lines and a simple single stitch for the 'fronts' of the pillows. I did a few of the cushions with contrasting colors on the back and a few with the same dominant color on the back.
The cushions are 24" square. I explored a few different methods of closure but found a simple stitch a third of the way on the left and right side of the opening was sufficient. Reusing the existing fill, it is easy to insert and remove into the covers.
With inspiration from modern architecture, the pillow designs employ a modernist grid that allow them to to be used and appreciated as tactile sculpture on their own alone, as an ordered grouping, or as the sculptural, free-form mass that occurs after using them.

Re: Couple IAS breakpoint questions
Well that would be frenzy for frenzy barb and feral rage for wolfbarb ofcourse.
Anyway I tried it out for myself
grief pb 31 ias feral and 2shael pb ( 40 ias ) feral looks the same, putting beast in offhand doesn't change it either, it looks like 5fpa.
similarly the frenzy barb also looks like 5 fpa with the equipment I'm using (55 off weapon ias, botd death zerkers ).

Re: Couple IAS breakpoint questions
For frenzy, off-weapon IAS is irrelevant for dual-fighting, only the base speed is a factor. That means, use the weapon with more IAS as primary weapon - which is BotD for your barb. If it's the same speed in either case, use the bigger damage weapon as primary for PvM and the one with the bigger range in PvP.
BTW, I prefer colossus blades to BAs on barbs, even though they are a small bit slower. BAs look silly on them and big swords make a cooler sound when being swung IMO.

Re: Couple IAS breakpoint questions
It depends on Frenzy skill level:
Code:LEVEL SKILL IAS OFF-WEAPON IAS ---------------------------------- 20-21 42 99 22-23 43 95 24-26 44 92 27-30 45 89
TitanSeal's attack speed calculator is accurate for Feral Rage when it hits, with the 5 frame breakpoint at 31 weapon IAS with level >3 Werewolf. The breakpoint is the same when it misses, but a miss has the same attack speed as a standard Attack (7 frames). Thus average attack speed = (5 * chance to hit) + (7 * chance to miss), so with 95% chance to hit it's (5*0.95) + (7*0.05) or 5.1 frames per attack.
Secondary weapon IAS is only irrelevant for Frenzy if the primary weapon misses: when the primary weapon hits (the chance of which any player will strive to maximise), then secondary weapon IAS is relevant. See the Potential Calculator Inaccuracy for Frenzy Attack Speed thread for more details (particularly this post).
The attack speed calculator is only accurate for Frenzy when the primary weapon misses, or when both weapons have identical weapon speed and weapon IAS. Otherwise, the script linked above is needed to calculate Frenzy's attack speed accurately.

I think that is indeed why 'Lower Decks' worked because we can all relate to being on the bottom rung and wondering what happens when our own bosses go into meetings that we never know the content of in full. It's a very relatable premise.
But then again in Trek we're used to spending time with those that all the action happens to. But it's like the Enterprise problem..............not all the excitement happens on the Enterprise (of any version) at all and other starships must have their own adventures to tell. You own idea of a freighter series would feature the John and Jane Does of the Federation itself, albiet in a setting we've never seen before. So, I think there are avenues that could be considered, although not all of them would end up good TV shows. I do tend to believe soap opera elements would be unavoidable in the end as Star Trek is itself in my opinion Space Opera anyway and all the shows have soapy elements sooner or later. But anyway, it would be interesting from an experimental perspective just to see if the 'City on the Edge of Forever' script would play using each subsequent show and each subsequent Captain/Commander just to see if it would have the same effect as the TOS version.
'If the Apocalypse starts, beep me!' - Buffy Summers 'The sky's the limit.....' Jean-Luc Picard, 'All Good Things' courtesy of Saquist
I think also cutting the episode numbers would also help on the business side as well, mind. Modern era Trek was always very generously funded for production values that were the best their times offered and the costs of making that kind of sci-fi haven't gone down greatly.
I can't comment on 'Dr Who' though, I could never get into it and I always seemed to pick a bad episode to try. I don't imagine they're all bad though. Probably just my luck.
'If the Apocalypse starts, beep me!' - Buffy Summers 'The sky's the limit.....' Jean-Luc Picard, 'All Good Things' courtesy of Saquist
I agree that ordinary people doing ordinary things is enjoyable on a soap opera level yet can also easily become problematic. I guess that's why DS9 featured not so ordinary people (and worked because of that?) and why Lower Decks ended with a not so ordinary, heroic sacrifice.
Talking about ordinary people, I think it was McCoy bringing common sense and the voice of an ordinary guy into the discussion which made TOS work so well character-wise. TNG either presented an ideal, technocrats who, unlike real-world technocrats, are competent and make difficult decisions, or a more TOS-ish situation in which ironically the robot asks naive questions or acts in the most human way (Pen Pals) and thus makes us question the technocratic consensus. It is a complicated issue and I think my initial point was wrong, good stories can very well flow out of well-written and -played characters. About the number of episodes, I agree that more than 20 40-45 min episodes per year is too much and that around 10-15 would be better for the "supply side" reasons you mentioned but also to avoid "demand side" problems like oversaturation. |
I've never agreed with the "They should have done a Captain Sulu series and 'everyone' knows it" sentiment either. I certainly wouldn't have minded seeing it, however there was nothing defective about the shows we got instead at the pre-conception stage. Which implies that everything or anything which eventually did turn out defective, once each of the latter series went into active production, would have happened just as quickly with a Captain Sulu series or any other concept which fans might have pushed forward. There's no reason to assume that the administration in charge would have handled a Captain Sulu series according to any different set of priorities than the ended up handling the Voyager and Enterprise series. I also don't know how many people follow Bakula (as opposed to Takei) on Facebook, and I wouldn't care.
Ratings merely capture a tiny part of the total audience. Shows are rerun, shown in foreign countries, there are DVD sales and so on.
If we followed your ratings logic and applied it consistently TOS, ENT and Firefly would suck big time. After the commercial failure of TOS, the self-fulfilling prophecy of the third season (if you want a show just neglect it business-wise and it will fail) and the subsequent cancellation Trek fans should really know better than repeat such nonsense about how ratings and business success reveal anything about the quality of art ad infinitum. About your other point, I have watched Trek for more than 10 years until I actually watched TOS (i.e. really watched it, not some random and badly into German translated episodes). So it looks like Trek can very well be enjoyed and be successful (I bought quite some stuff in these 10 years) without any familiarity with the first show. This holds for all show, you do e.g. not need to have watched TNG to watch DS9 or VOY. |
Any more that you need to have actually watched any ST at all prior to watching the current films. Whether the STs require [direct] familiarity with each other was never the point, if you've read the post I was originally responding to.
As for ratings, fans are likewise living in a cloud if they think those numbers can be dismissed entirely as not reflective of quality. You can't compare a show that probably never found its audience with a branded property that has dropped to one sixth of its average former viewership. What would the numbers of the re-runs and DVD sales show if you had easy access to that information? Do ENT DVDs sell more than one-sixth as many copies as TNG DVDs? I'd be curious to know. However if there are a (significant) number of people who had every intention of catching up on ENT eventually, but just not when it was on the air and in need of some higher numbers, then I'm really sorry to hear that. I find it unlikely though. Last edited by samwiseb : 09-22-2013 at 05:54 AM. |
And there's precedence in TNG's production history for the problem of 26 episodes a year raising it's head. I would have to look back through 'The Continuing Mission' book but back in late 1991 (I think, it was certainly during production of the fifth season) the core group of writers at that time were running dry and ended up taking a collective vacation to try and get some fresh ideas working outwith the environment of the studio and the production offices. It then went on to yield a run of good season 5 shows (I think including 'Power Play', 'Conundrum' and several others in that mid-season batch) but they had to get away from the place first to actually get some headspace to feel creative again for a while.
'If the Apocalypse starts, beep me!' - Buffy Summers 'The sky's the limit.....' Jean-Luc Picard, 'All Good Things' courtesy of Saquist
The stupid ratings during the first run are utterly irrelevant and tell you nothing about how many people will watch the show over decades in several places because the stupid ratings are limited to one place and one time. But even if we had total viewership numbers over space and time it would be irrelevant (unless you own Viacom stocks and care about how much money the company makes ... but then you care about capital income and not about product quality). Millions of people eat at McDonalds. Doesn't mean the food is anything but utter crap. If there is any correlation between $$$ and quality it is a negative one. Pop music sells better than classical music, junk food sells better than good food, Michael Bay flicks sell better than Bergman movies and so on. |
Ratings and quality don't 100% of the time reflect each other..............but what you appear to be dismissing is that sometimes they are. Sometimes shows with bad ratings are actually bad TV shows, just as sometimes movies which flop are bad movies.
And, sometimes a franchise which shows a steady declination in general viewership over a measurable period of time just might have had that declination because there were issues with what was being produced. I think it's clearly part of the discussion for Star Trek as a whole, although other factors can also be argued to be involved.

(On a partially-related note, you have on more than one prior occasion said you would be "first to concede" that most of VOY and the first three seasons of ENT were, again in your words, "crap." So I don't get it. However this is not really relevant. But I don't get it.) We are not comparing pop music to classical music, Michael Bay to Bergman, junk food to good food, or even Classic Trek (which is a whole generation apart) to Berman Trek (a term which I do not employ in derogatory fashion). We are comparing Berman Trek to Berman Trek. Berman Trek was on for eighteen consecutive years, and what happened to its audience during that span of time is as relevant as anything that's happened to it since. I never said those numbers were the final word on the subject, or that there couldn't have been other contributing factors to those numbers over their eighteen-year span, however they ARE relevant. Eighty-three percent of viewers, for whatever reason, left the franchise at various points between 'All Good Things' and 'These Are the Voyages'. |

They had me at caramel!
I'm trying to get used to Bon Appétit as a replacement for Gourmet and, sadly, it has not quite happened. Every now and then, however, I am surprised by a recipe that I must try.
This month it was the Milk Chocolate-Caramel Tart with Hazelnuts and Espresso, a dessert that speaks to two of my weaknesses – caramel and coffee-flavored anything. Check out the description: This delicious tart has a buttery shortbread crust, a rich hazelnut-caramel filling, a creamy espresso-chocolate topping, and a sprinkling of crunchy cacao nibs (pieces of roasted cacao beans). Amazing, right?
Instead of one large tart, however, I busted out the tartlet pans from overstock and got to work. I halved the recipe which then yielded four mini tartlets - two for Valentine's Day and the other two for, well, the day after Valentine's Day. Oh, and because I'm also crazy for Maldon salt, I added a few flakes to the top of the tartlets.

Congrats to Sloane on her 1st (hopefully of many) GS semifinal! She is still a work in progress but hopefully she can build on this. Also, I hope Madison Keys can mature quickly as well. We're in a good place with women but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an up and coming American male. Ryan Harrison does not count because I don't see anything in his game that suggests GS champion.

Murray hasn't dropped a set on his way to the semi-finals, but he's had a relatively easy passage through. I'm excited to see how he does against Federer, who is still such a virtuoso at the age of 31.
Ferrer/Djokovic looks an easier one to call, but Nole had a real struggle against Wawrinka, so who knows?
"Be with me alwaystake any formdrive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!"
I left my heart in Switzerland. Please Federer win another Slam, it's been too long.
I was very happy to see Sloane defeat Serena too. She can make herself very unpopular when she's upset on the court, as we've seen time and time again. Sloane showed that she has speed and can hit some hard shots. I think she could be a really good player.
Loved the Fed-Tsonga match. The semis are both matches I look forward to seeing! I wish Nadal was back to make up the quartet, but Ferrer is no slouch!!
Oh dear, Sharapova having a meltdown...2 double faults to start with plus 1 more later. Plenty of other missed serves and Li is now leading 4 - 1 in the first set.
I love how the 2 opening double faults were preceded by ESPN saying " Sharapova has been serving great in this tournament!"
Sharapova is not playing well at all, and Li is. But I would never count Maria out.
I swear, this is a match of who is less tennis dumb.
Na and Serena always have close matches, I think their most lopsided one ever is Na getting 7 or 8 games which against Serena is quite a feat. They have many 3 setters too. Serena just wins all the maches. Azarenka and Serena have had some close matches in the last 18 months since Serena came back, but alot of blowouts too (Olympics 2012, Canada 2011, U.S Open 2011). Although Azarenka came incredibly close to winning that U.S Open final but Serena was unusually flat footed that day. Anyway it is all moot as Serena is out.
As for my prediction I was quite correct that no fellow top player was beating Serena here, and that it would have to be a lower ranked one. Granted we didnt see a match with a top player happen, but that seems pretty obvious seeing what Serena did whenever another top player was on the other side of the net in 2012.
Li took the first set and now leads 4 - 2 in the second. Maria is just looking very out of sorts today for some reason - the amount of missed serves is incredible...
Na Na Na Na! Hey Hey! Goodbye!
Na into her 3rd GS final

Audio Glossary
2.0 speaker systemYour basic setup—two speakers, or satellites, that give you stereo sound with limited bass. These easy-to-install systems don't include a subwoofer and are compatible with most standard PC soundcards. |
2.1 speaker systemA sound system that shakes some life into your audio. It has two satellites, like a 2.0 system—but adds a subwoofer to give you a more robust sound with deeper bass. It's just as easy to set up as a 2.0 system, but the subwoofer takes up additional space. |
5.1 digital decoding5.1 speaker systemA surround sound system with speakers in front of and behind you to immerse you in your entertainment. It includes left and right front speakers, left and right rear speakers, a front center speaker, and a subwoofer. If you're into movies or gaming, this is the perfect choice for you. |
360-degree soundBalanced sound no matter where you are in the room. This is created by using both forward- and backward-firing drivers that project sound evenly in all directions. Also known as omnidirectional acoustics. |
24/48 kHz encoding6-channel directAn input with three separate stereo mini-plug jacks (1/8 inch) that connects to PC sound cards, or can be used as three separate stereo inputs for use with headphones, iPods, or other devices with an 1/8-inch jack or plug. |
96/24 decodingAn enhanced, higher-resolution, studio-quality format available on many DVD video and DVD audio discs. Refers to 24-bit, 96 kHz audio. |
AAAC (Advanced Audio Coding)A successor to MP3. It's an audio codec or device that decodes or encodes digital data. It offers higher sound quality at lower bit rates than MP3. It's also known as MPEG-4 AAC. |
Active driverThe main driver, or electromagnetic component, of a speaker. This is what makes the sound. See driver. |
Amplifier (Amp)A device that increases signal level. They typically increase voltage, current, or both. |
Analog signalA continuous electrical signal that's commonly represented as an oscillating wave. It can take any value in a range and changes smoothly between values, as opposed to digital signals, which are characterized by discrete bits of information in numerical steps. |
Apple LosslessAn audio codec, or device that decodes or encodes digital data, developed by Apple Inc. This is a lossless method of data compression for digital music. See lossless. |
BBassThe low end of the sound spectrum that goes from 20 Hz to 200 Hz. It puts the boom, shake, and rumble into your entertainment. This is the range for explosions, tubas, cellos, bass, drums, and more. Also known as low range. |
CCenter channelThe center speaker in a surround sound system. It goes below or on top of your monitor or TV and produces the dialog and vocals—making them seem like they're coming right out the screen. |
ClippingA severe form of distortion that occurs when you overload an amplifier. It makes the sound hard and edgy. |
DDAC (Digital to audio converter)A device that converts a digital bit stream to an analog signal so your speakers can turn it into sound. |
dBs (Decibels)A unit of measure of the relative loudness of sound. The threshold of hearing is 0 dB. A whisper is 15-25 db. A normal speaking voice is 65-70 dB. Live rock music is 120 dB and up. And a jet aircraft is about 140-180 dB. Anything over 140 dB hurts to listen to and can damage your hearing. |
Dead zoneAn area of the room with quieter sound from your speakers due to sound waves cancelling each other out. |
Digital signalAn audio signal that is usually represented by ones and zeros. A digital signal has to be converted to an analog signal before it can be turned into sound. |
Digital rights management (DRM)A technology that allows content owners to determine and control how you can enjoy content. That can include how many copies you can make of a song or what types of devices you can transfer it to. |
DistortionAnything that alters the musical signal from its original quality. |
Dolby® digitalA five-channel audio format consisting of left, center, and right front channels, left and right rear channels, and one channel for the subwoofer. It's one of several systems used for surround sound. All processing is done in digitally for your listening pleasure. |
Down-firing subwooferA subwoofer that has its cone facing down—directing bass throughout the room. |
DriverThis is where the magic happens. It's an electromagnetic device that turns electrical signals into sound waves in the air by moving a thin layer of fabric or paper. It's usually made up of a magnet and voice coil. |
DTS™DTS decoders are in virtually every major brand of 5.1-channel surround processor. |
EEqualization (EQ)The purposeful changing of the frequency response of a circuit to change the sound. You might do this to boost the bass for gaming or movies. Or to create a more balanced sound for your music. |
FFLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec)A type of lossless audio compression. It doesn't remove any information from the audio stream like lossy codecs such as MP3 and AAC. That makes it a good choice for archiving audio collections as well as everyday playback. See Lossless, Lossy. |
FrequencyOne measure of a sound wave. Unless you're superhuman, the range for hearing is about 20-20,000 Hz (20 Hz-20 kHz). Lower numbers represent lower frequencies |
Frequency Directed Dual DriversA Logitech® technology that uses two identical full-range drivers in each satellite. A special filter that detects specific frequencies is applied to one of the drivers—gradually muting specific frequencies in that driver as needed to prevent hot spots or dead zones in the soundfield. The result is better sound quality throughout the entire frequency range of the speaker. |
Frequency responseThe range of frequencies an audio device can reproduce. |
Full-range driversA driver designed to reproduce most of the sound spectrum. |
HHertz (Hz)The standard unit of frequency, equal to 1 cycle per second. One hertz (Hz) represents one cycle per second, 20Hz represents 20 cycles per second, and so on. |
High range (highs)The high end of the sound spectrum, also known as treble. The high range goes from 4,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It covers stuff like bells, cymbals, and the highest notes on a piano. |
Hot spotsAn area of the room where there volume gets too loud because the sound waves are amplified. |
IImpedanceA measure of electrical resistance specified in ohms. |
JJitterA tendency toward poor signal synchronization caused by electrical changes. It can cause doubling up or skipping of portions of audio. |
LLong-throw subwooferA subwoofer that gives you higher sound levels at greater distances. |
LosslessA class of data compression that allows the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data. |
LossyA class of data compression that doesn't allow the exact original data to be reconstructed from the compressed data. |
Low range (lows)See bass |
MMatched quad micro-driversA set of four identical micro-drivers, offering powerful sound in a compact design. |
Max-X™ driversHigh-excursion drivers that allow for greater dynamic range, improved bass, and lower distortion. |
Midrange (mids)The middle frequencies of sound from 200 Hz to 4,000 Hz. This is the range of sound our ears are most sensitive to and includes most vocals (not the glass-breaking kind) and instruments. |
MidwooferA driver that produces mid and some low frequencies. |
MP3A popular digital audio encoding and lossy compression format. It greatly reduces the amount of data (10:1 compression) needed to represent audio. See Lossy. |
MuddySound that is poorly defined, sloppy, or vague. |
NNetwork music playerA device that wirelessly streams the digital music stored on your computer, Internet radio broadcasts, and tracks from online music services to any room of your home. You can choose a player that connects to your stereo or powered speakers, or an all-in-one solution that has its own speakers. |
Neodymium micro-driversSmall drivers made from a rare earth metal that is the strongest permanent magnet on earth. |
NoiseUnwanted sound or distortion. |
Noise isolationPreventing outside sounds from entering the ear when you're listening to music with earphones. It lets you hear your music and not the chatty person behind you. |
OOggA type of file format. |
OhmA unit of electrical resistance or impedance presented by the speakers and recognized by the amplifier. See Impedance. |
Omnidirectional acousticsSee 360-degree sound. |
PPassive crossoverA filter that splits the audio signal into separate bandwidths so each segment can go to the correct type of driver. It keeps the lows from mingling with the highs in your tweeter, for example. This type of filter is made of passive components. |
Peak powerThe maximum wattage an amplifier can deliver as a brief burst during a musical peak. This is not an accurate measure of power. RMS power, which is standardized, should be used when you compare speakers instead. |
Phase-plug design
PortAn opening in a speaker cabinet that increases the bass response of the speaker. |
Ported enclosure or ported subwooferA type of speaker enclosure that uses a port to improve efficiency at low frequencies. |
Pressure driversA driver that creates pressure inside a speaker cabinet that is sealed and airtight to move the passive radiator, increasing sound levels. This is an efficient way to create tighter, lower bass. |
RReal-time bass equalization
RMS (root mean square)A standard amplifier measurement. It's a conventional way to measure the effective average value of an audio signal or other power (AC) voltage. |
RMS powerThe amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier can produce. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner music sounds. This measurement is far more accurate than peak power. |
SSatellitesA small speaker with limited bass response. |
ShieldedA design that prevents the magnet from causing interference with other electronics. |
Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)A specification that describes how much noise an audio component has compared to the music signal. |
Sound pressure level (SPL)A measure of the loudness of a sound, relative to the threshold of hearing, measured in dB (decibels). It generally goes from 0 to 140 dB. 140 dB is considered painful and can damage your ears. |
SoundstageThe perception of where the different instruments and vocals are located on an imaginary stage. |

Top-fire armatureA custom in-ear speaker design—featured in the Ultimate Ears® SuperFi 5 and 5vi earphones—that uses a compact wideband driver to create a high-performance sound. |
TrebleSee high range. |
Tri-amplificationA design in which each driver (woofer, midrange, and tweeter) has their own amplifier. This generally results in a better sound because the signals can be tailored for the driver more accurately before they get to the amplifier. |
TweeterA small, lightweight driver for reproducing the highest musical frequencies such as violins and cymbals, and typically everything above 2,000 Hz. |
Two-way speakerA speaker with two different drivers that are dedicated to different frequency ranges. |
VVirtual surround soundTechnology that provides a rich surround sound experience with just two speakers by down-mixing Dolby Digital 5.1 channel and Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) to 2-channel audio. |
WWAV (or WAVE)A Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing audio on PCs. |

Making sound choices about digital sound.
MP3s. Internet radio. Streaming. The days of the CD, let alone the record, are long gone.
But while the digital revolution has made music of all kinds easier to get (and take wherever you go), you're also confronted with a lot of choices about how to enjoy that music, about making the digital audible.
How can you free that music from your computer and MP3 player? How can you listen to the music on your computer without being tied to it? And how can you make sure you're getting quality and not just quantity?
We'll help you sort it all out and make some sound choices.
The music on your computerYour built-in speakers just don't do justice to all the music on your computer. Whether you're looking to listen at your computer or in any room in the house, we've got something to please your ears. |
Speaking of speakersPicking the right speakers has a lot to do with what you're listening to. Are you watching movies and TV? Or are you gaming? Surround sound envelops you in sound and brings your entertainment to life. Just listening to music? A 2.0 or 2.1 speaker system is probably all you need. |
Room-size mattersWhile the number of watts on your system is often the measure by which a system is judged, it's not always a good indicator. More importantly, you'll want to find a system that has enough power for the space you're in. Room size is a good indicator. |
A world of music, at your fingertips.From your favorite tracks, to radio from the other side of the planet, never before has such a wide variety of music been so easy to enjoy, thanks to Logitech® Squeezebox™. Browse your digital music collection or tune to thousands of free Internet radio stations. Even discover millions of tracks from online services* like Pandora®, Rhapsody®, SIRIUS®, and Last.fm™. |
The music on your MP3 playerFrom an upgrade to the ear buds that came with your MP3 player to docks that let you listen out loud, you'll find better ways to enjoy your music right here. |

An emailer named Joe McGreal "from Bangkok, Thailand" decided to rip up on Peyton some: "Why do sportswriters not get down and dirty with Manning on his big game failures? To throw a pick 6 in the Super Bowl at least warranted some additional scrutiny on his big game prowess... ... I truly believe sportswriters in general are way too lenient on Manning. Piling up stats in regular season against mainly substandard defenses is not a measure for greatness." Kuharsky pens a fine response: "If it's so easy to pile up stats in the regular season, why haven't more people done it? Manning is superb in the regular season in a way few of his peers can imagine. Against mostly substandard defenses? That's a huge stretch. ... (Incidentally, he beat the Jets and their No. 1 defense in the AFC title game. He beat Baltimore, the No. 3 defense, and Denver, No. 7, in the regular season.) ... So if they lose it's his fault and when they won it was despite him? How can he win in that scenario? ... And who is great by your standards beside Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman, then? John Elway lost the Super Bowl more often than he won it. Brett Favre and Kurt Warner have the same Super Bowl record as Manning. What losers. " Nice too see a national writer 1. Meet some of those canards head on, and 2. Tell an emailer how it is.
ESPN writer/blogger Paul Kuharsky thinks out loud (well, on screen) about which Colts team is the best one, ever. He lists the 1958, '59, '68, '70, and 2006 teams as candidates, then solicits feedback. And as a departure for an ESPN comments section, the replies are mostly well thought out. It's an interesting albeit short read.
Not a big story. In fact, it's nothing more than a photo and a caption. But Peyton sure looks focused in.

Authorities Need Help Nabbing Calhoun High BurglarFrom Lowndes County -- Deputies need your help finding a man they say stole electronics and vandalized a high school. They say the suspect is armed and dangerous and is living in the Montgomery area. Thousands of dollars worth of electronics was stolen from Calhoun High last spring. Investigators say since then, they've been speaking with community members and have found the man who did it. They say he is a former Tiger and is now a danger to society. "Why he would come back and tear up his own school? I don't understand," says Lt. Lashun Hutson with the Lowndes County Sheriff's Dept. Hutson is looking for Deon Jenkins. He says Jenkins broke in Calhoun High school in April, tore apart the front office, classrooms and library, and then made away with $10,000 worth of electronics. "Arrest warrants have been issued for him for theft of property," Hutson says. He says Jenkins has been selling the equipment, and he says he found two laptops in Montgomery and Prattville. "If you can imagine walking into an area that has been completely ram-sacked," says Principal Kenneth Fair. Fair says he still can't believe that someone would want to steal from a school. "That was the first thing that came through my mind. Why? The school does so much good in the community," Fair says. Hutson is hoping the community can help find Jenkins, and whoever else was involved. He's hoping to bring some justice to a school he calls his own. "My kids graduated from here, so I am a Calhoun Tiger too even though I didn't go to Calhoun. It is my effort to find out who did it and prosecute them," he says. "I'm going to do that." Fair says the damage has been repaired just in time for school to start back up August 19. Investigators say Jenkins has been connected to several burglaries in the past. If you have seen him or know of his whereabouts, you're asked to call the Lowndes county sheriff's office at (334) 548-2222. You can remain anonymous. |

Design Exploratory study
Purpose The study investigated the interface between health care practitioners and caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease living in the community.
Participants The participants were N=20 practitioners
Procedure Investigators interviewed 20 practitioners and analyzed contacts between practitioners and caregivers at the beginning of the care trajectory.
Outcomes The quality of practitioner/caregiver interface was determined by personal characteristics such as profiles and internal structures. Communication between formal and informal service networks could be improved by a greater understanding of microsocial and organizational level interactions and the implementation of a social model of care.
