I'm going to get some earbuds to use with my 900 for music, calls, audio books, podcasts, and movies. I've narrowed it down to the Klipsch Image S4A ($79.99), the Beats urBeats ($99.99), or the Bose MIE2 ($116.99). I want to make sure the in line controls and mic work. The Bose officially list being Windows Phone compatible, I've seen people say the urBeats work for them, and I've seen people say that any headset listed as Android compatible should also work with Windows Phone, and the Klipsch are Android compatible. So anyone have any experiences with these headsets? Any opinions?
I'm also considering the Nokia Purity buds, but I'd like to get something that is available at Best Buy cause I've got a gift card for there - 12-25-2012, 01:41 PM #2
I have three pairs of Klipsch at varying levels, the middle ones beign the s4 and for the money they are fantastic ear buds. I used them with my 900 for about 6 months before upgrading to the x10 due to black friday deals I got them crazy cheap. Klipsch are my favorite brand and they sound great with windows phone. Beats and bose are good companies but overpriced for the name and look. I like sound companies hailed for the sound and comfort of the buds. Klipsch are most comfy buds i've used but i'm no expert. Just one mans opinion
the x10s have been on sale on amazon for a few days now. Amazon.com: Klipsch Image X10 Noise-Isolating Earphone: Electronics

BRCA 1 and 2: the genes, the myths, the mutations 15 Aug 2013You've probably heard about the genes, BRCA 1 and 2 - most likely when Angelina Jolie's double mastectomy hit the headlines in May this year – or maybe more generally, in relation to risk of breast or ovarian cancer in women. Perhaps you've also heard about BRCA 1 and 2 in relation to prostate cancer, and the world's first preventative prostatectomy that wasn't? But what are the BRCA genes? Why is it such a problem when they change or 'mutate'? And, what does a BRCA gene mutation mean for men? Read moreiconCommentsTags: Diagnosis

The state's deer hunters should soon learn whether or not they will be recipients of a deer gun license for 2013. The North Dakota Game and Fish Department expects to complete the deer gun lottery process this week. This year's lottery is being held later than usual due to changes approved in the recent session of the state Legislature.
"Folks are getting a little itchy, but it's coming just around the corner," said Greg Link, NDG&F. "We are a little later this year. That's the way it's going to be with a law change this year that required all gratis licenses to be in by the application deadline."
The deadline for submitting a deer gun license application was June 5. According to NDG&F licensing manager Randy Meissner, the changing time period for receiving gratis license applications means that applications submitted by paper, both from regular license applicants and those eligible for gratis any-legal-deer licenses, have to be entered into the department's computer system manually. The process necessarily takes more time than was the case in previous years.

Greg Link, North Dakota Game and Fish Department Conservation and Communications Division chief, searches a computer in response to a request from a visitor at the Conservation and Outdoor Skills Park on the North Dakota State Fairgrounds.
Meissner said he expects the end of July to become the new norm for holding the deer lottery. Previously the deer gun lottery was conducted in the first week of July.
For several years, deer gun licenses were so abundant that some hunters obtained multiple licenses. That is no longer the case. Only 59,500 deer gun licenses are available for the 2013 season, the fewest since 1983 and 5,800 less than in 2012.
"We had several tough winters that knocked us down," explained Link. "We've been rebounding from that. Last winter wasn't real bad but it held on until late April. We're not sure how that affect us. We feel like we're on a comeback with deer numbers and, hopefully, we'll get a reprieve from the tough winters the next few years and get back on track."
Applicants who applied online and provided an e-mail address to NDG&F will receive notification as to whether or not they were successful in the lottery. Results will also be available on the department's website at (gf.nd.gov).

Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common types of skin discoloration and develops when the skin cells produce too much pigment in one particular area. The brown discoloration can be caused by repeated exposure to the sun, chronic inflammation of the skin tissue and even imbalances in the hormones. Many fade creams are formulated to improve the appearance of skin that is marred by hyperpigmentation. Some products work by reducing the amount of pigment that is made in the area, which over time leads to a reduction in the discoloration. Others function by dissolving the discolored skin, so that it can be lifted away to minimize the appearance of dark spots.
Rosacea is another very common cause of skin discoloration. This chronic condition is marked by an inflammatory response in the skin that gives rise to widespread redness and an unsightly red rash. While there is no cure for rosacea, some fade creams are formulated to help sufferers reduce the severity of their symptoms and promote an even skin tone. These formulas work by reducing inflammation with skin soothing ingredients, and when used regularly, have the potential to reduce the frequency of rosacea flare-ups, particularly when they are used in conjunction with lifestyle changes and other interventions for the condition.
Fade creams are also available to address other forms of discoloration. Some products are designed to help bruises fade more quickly and can be used following an injury or surgery to speed up the disappearance of black and blue and yellow marks on the skin. Stretch mark fading formulas are ideal for use after pregnancy, weight gain or periods of rapid growth and not only can reduce the appearance of stretch marks but also firm the skin to improve the texture in the affected area. You'll also find formulas that are designed to reduce the prominence of scars and many other types of discoloration.
Whichever type of skin discoloration is detracting from your appearance, you can find a fade treatment solution at drugstore.com to help you promote a more beautiful complexion. By adding a fade treatment to your daily
and using it as directed, you can gradually improve the look of your skin and restore your self-confidence. We carry the most popular fade treatments on the market with both discount brands and dermatologist formulas included in our collection.

Hi guys. This is the pokemon team i used a good amount last round in RU. This team has no suspects, and uses some underrated pokemon and some interesting sets to win. It got me the #3 spot on ladder pretty easily but BS molk was too hard to catch. It has a hazard setter and FWG core. It is made around Tauros!! Enjoy Smeargle @ Focus Sash **** TURRETBOT Trait: Own Tempo EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Jolly Nature - Spikes - Explosion - Spore - Stealth Rock In order to gain an early advantage, i tend to lead with Smeargle since im essentially guarenteed Spikes + Stealth Rock vs slower Defensive teams and Stealth Rock + 1 sleeping pokemon vs faster paced offensive teams. Since I do not have a ghost, I opted for Explosion over Whirlwind. With Explosion, i can Explode on Kabutops before it can spin on me, activate Weak Armor, and then KO with my own Kabutops before it even has a chance to Rapid Spin. If it is non Weak Armor, I can easily force it out with Sceptile. Cryogonal is easily OHKO'd by Explosion. Sandslash takes around 40% iirc, enough for me to force it out and then pick it off later in the game when it is weakened by hazards. Explosion is also useful for pokemon that try to set up in front of me with my Sash activated, like Swords Dance Absol, SD Gallade, etc. Also hits Nidoqueen hard enough to KO with Kabutops Aqua Jet or Sceptile Leaf Storm, but to be honest i'm really not worried about Queen. Smeargle has unfavorable lead match ups against Lum Lead Uxie and faster Lum mons in general which kinda sucks, but fortunately i have prepared for it. Most times against lead Uxie, I will Stealth Rock first, and if they are slower, I will Sleep them or set up Spikes. Smeargle especially excels against slower teams though, and will give the proper support that the rest of my sweepers need to bludgeon through the opposing core. Slowking @ Choice Specs **** HENRYVIIIBOT Trait: Regenerator EVs: 248 HP / 252 SAtk / 8 Spe Modest Nature - Surf - Psyshock - Trick - Fire Blast Without a doubt the best Slowking set in RU. Slowking acts as the bulky pivot of the team and helps to prevent me from getting smashed by Choiced Fighting-types, Hitmonlee in general, Fire-types, and random boosters like Shell Smash Omastar. Slowking 2HKOs a ton of shit with Specs Surf with hazards down, and does a really good job against offense if i can get it in safely against something like Moltres on a predicted Roost, as otherwise offense is hard pressed to switch into Specs Slowking. Sceptile, Lilligant, Escav, Uxie? 2HKO'd. Nidoqueen, Moltres, Absol, Kabutops, Entei etc are all OHKO'd. Fire Blast roasts Tangrowth who can be a pretty big pain in the ass. Psyshock hits Munchlax, Roselia, and smashes stuff like Poliwrath. I originally had Nidoqueen in place of Slowking, but Slowking was much better as a pivot in general and helped more vs offense. Plus Regenerator is boss. The only thing changing Nidoqueen to Slowking opened me up to is OTR Cofag, which can be handled with smart playing. Slowking is what i tend to lead with when Smeargle has a poor lead matchup, ie: Uxie. Kabutops can usually just spin away rocks later so i dont care if they set SR up. Slowking usually tends to do better vs offensive teams since its so hard to switch into for offense, but Trick helps to cripple defensive teams, mainly other Slowking, who can be annoying. After opposing Slowking gets Tricked, the Growth King core will generally fall to Sceptile if I let something take Sleep. In general, Slowking is the glue to this team and when it dies early, things can fall apart pretty fast. SCYTHEBOT (Kabutops) @ Life Orb Trait: Weak Armor EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Adamant Nature IVs: 29 HP - Rapid Spin - Swords Dance - Stone Edge - Aqua Jet Let me just start off by saying fuck any other spinner in this tier. Kabutops is hands down the best. Unlike the incredibly frail and Pursuit vulnerable Cryogonal, Kabutops doesnt give a shit about Pursuit and can smash any ghost that stands in its way when he needs to spin. LO Stone Edge does a ton to anything that does resist it, which generally means Kabutops can force switches and spin no problem. Misdreavus is OHKO'd by Swords Dance Stone Edge after Stealth Rock, so Kabutops easily spins after that. Aqua Jet is the teams secondary priority after CB Extreme Speed, and both are powerful enough that i will generally never get swept by a frail boosting sweeper. The 29 HP IV is to minimize Life Orb recoil, which isn't really that important but whatever!! On a team like this, my goal is to keep my hazards up while keeping my opponents hazards off of the field, and Kabutops is threatening enough to easily help with both. After a Swords Dance, Tops OHKOs every spinner in the tier with hazards support, while also scaring away ghosts as i mentioned before. The Grass-type attacks aimed at Kabutops will generally go to Sceptile or Entei, and Electric-type attacks will generally go to Sceptile or Entei as well. The only Electric-type that I really fear is LO Galvantula because of Compoundeyes Thunder and STAB Bug Buzz, but Entei can take a hit at full health and OHKO back, or simply 2hko with E Speed. Tauros also outspeeds and OHKOs, but generally ill have to sac a mon to revenge kill it or predict like a mad man (and sometimes still lose a poke) In general though, use Kabutops. He's a man Entei @ Choice Band ****DOGBOT Trait: Pressure EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - ExtremeSpeed - Stone Edge - Sleep Talk The heavy hitter and priority user. CB Entei is one of, if not my favorite pokemon in RU. CB Flare Blitz smashes even heavy resists. I would go as far as to compare CB Entei in RU to CB Dragonite in OU, without the godly ability. Kabutops provides the Rapid Spin support that Entei needs in order to ensure it does not get worn down quickly. Sleep Talk may seem a bit silly, but it absorbs Sleep from Lilligant and smashes it as it tries to boost for atleast 60%, which is enough to revenge kill with Tops. If it is HP Fire Quiver Lilligant, Entei wins anyway. This also absorbs Sleep from Tangrowth generally. Entei is my answer to a good amount of random Grass/Bug-types, like Galvantula, Scyther (sometimes), Tangrowth, Lilligant, Sceptile. Entei also checks Klinklang, which otherwise tends to wreck offense :happybrain: I have to play Entei carefully when i see Kabutops in team preview, because Entei will almost always give Kabutops a chance to Rapid Spin and remove the hazards that my team loves I have considered Flame Plate Entei after DittoCrow told me about it, but overall i think i need the power that Choice Band Entei brings to my team, like doing 60% to Sandslash and 3HKOing Lanturn. I dont really use Stone Edge, so i considered HP Grass, but i really dont want to have to lower either of my defenses since i rely on Entei's decent bulk to check/stop a lot of pokemon. Slowking and Entei work well together, since Slowking easily switches on common Entei counters like Defensive Poliwrath, Defensive Rhydon, and Intimidate Qwilfish (which i fucking hate, fuck that pokemon). Entei is the secondary glue of the team, and as i mentioned before it helps me prevent getting swept by random boosting sweepers alongside Kabutops. Tauros @ Life Orb ****ANGRYBOT Trait: Sheer Force EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd Naive Nature - Rock Climb - Earthquake - Zen Headbutt - Fire Blast The other heavy hitter and wallbreaker. You may think i am crazy for using Fire Blast off of a whopping 116 Special Attack, but it 2HKOs Tangrowth and Steelix thanks to Life Orb and Sheer Force. Tangrowth is KO'd by Stealth Rock + Rock Climb + Fire Blast most of the time, and 100% of the time with Spikes + Stealth Rock. Sandslash takes about 45% from Rock Climb, meaning with any prior damage i can easily take it down assuming Rock Climb doesn't miss.... Zen Headbutt is a 3HKO on Defensive Poliwrath, but i will generally just bring in Slowking anyway since Circle Throw does a good amount. Zen Headbutt does OHKO Nidoqueen though and Sheer Force makes it so the only move i take recoil from using is Earthquake. A big part of why i'm posting this RMT is that Tauros is incredibly underrated as an attacker, and actually functions better with Nidoqueen present, as it can OHKO Queen rather easily and fits in very well overall with the fast paced offensive metagame. Most of Tauros' counters are grounded, meaning that they take damage from Spikes, which made Tauros an excellent addition to the team (it was actually the first mon i added). Tauros and Sceptile clean offense up late game, and Tauros also revenge kills SD Gallade thanks to a Shadow Sneak immunity. 75/95 physical bulk means that in general Tauros can take priority attacks and hit back, especially since its main attack doesn't take LO damage thanks to Sheer Force. Use Tauros more. Sceptile @ Flying Gem ****GEICOBOT Trait: Unburden EVs: 252 Atk / 224 SAtk / 32 Spd Naive Nature - Acrobatics - Leaf Storm - Hidden Power [Fire] - Rock Slide The end game cleaner, and the best one i've ever used. This set scares away pretty much every spinner, as well as wrecking offense when hazards are down. I usually save Sceptile for late game when everything is weakened and i won't have to switch out after my Unburden boost, since i only run enough Speed to beat Max Timid Rotom. Acrobatics hits Fighters like Primeape, Gallade, and Medicham hard while also giving me a boost in Speed. I generally fire off Acrobatics against a Grass-type or something that i can easily pick off and KO. Early game though, Sceptile can scare off Sandslash and Kabutops while also surprising Cryogonal (although i don't ohko the set that runs a lot of Defense). Rock Slide smacks Moltres around and hits Entei switch ins. Hidden Power [Fire] hits Escavalier and Steelix without having to drop 2 Special Attack stages. As DittoCrow said when i showed him this team, Acrobatics Sceptile has become so umcommon that Roselia and Cryo think they can come in easily. Acrobatics OHKOs Roselia easily, which means that Sceptile is free to Leaf Storm later in the game without a 4x resist coming in every time. I originally made this set to also help beat stall, but I haven't seen much stall this round so it basically functions as a late game offense cleaner. There's not really much more to say about this set, give it a shot So yeah thats the team. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this. Use Tauros more!!
Hey there August. Nice team you got there, I've been using a team with similar format (and also using entei and tauros) to good success. The team is generally all-round solid, my one nit-pick is that you are fairly exposed to offensive cofagrigus. Cofagrigus is able to shutdown tauros, and can switch in quite easily on smeargle once spore is used or entei or slowking locked into the wrong move. Sure, you have entei who is a soft check, but entei is reliant on many other team members to stay healthy. I think it might be worth testing nidoqueen on this team over slowking. Your team already handles fire attacks pretty well with only one weakness and two pretty good switch-ins. Nidoqueen would instead give you a better electric switch-in as well as a rock resistance and a good check to cofagrigus. You would be more exposed to poliwrath admitedly and you would miss out on regenerator. I think it would be worth a try at least. It would probably be worth chucking in some bulk in there seeing as it's your pivot. Additionally, I think sceptile may be more effective with a white herb instead of a flying gem. You won't be able to smash roselia and cryo on the switch, but that's not really an issue seeing as you out-speed them anyway, a white herb would allow you to spam your most powerful move (and only STAB move) twice which I think is quite important for a cleaner. Hope I helped and congrats on the peak :)
hmm i will definitely have to give white herb a shot on sceptile, good call as for the cofag weakness, i generally double switch in slowking when i have tauros out, because specs surf does ~65% and i outspeed. if i can't double switch slowking in, i can always come in directly to cofag and either take ~55% from his shadow ball, or come in as he trick rooms or nasty plots. either way he cannot ohko me and if he nasty plots i just trick him specs and revenge with tauros. i guess ill give nidoqueen a shot, but tbh she is also a sketchy cofag check especially if they run spikes but ill definitely give it a shot man thanks for the rate
Damn so this was the team Funk used against me in the RU Open! August this team is crazy dude and the sets really caught me off guard. Explosion Smeargle was definitely the biggest surprise along with that Sceptile but this is a really awesome team! Luvdisc'd!
sexy team, august! I definitely need to try Tauros myself :d. And yea, CB Entei and LO Kabutops are boss. my only qualm is the lack of reliable Electric resists, which makes facing Galvantula or Manectric quite a bitch. I personally think Lanturn is a good defensive pivot, with its slow Volt Switch and the ability to soak up lots of abuse for the team. It's largely a defensive mon, but Volt Switch make good use of hazards, and Lanturn can also be built offensively like Slowking with Hydro Pump, HP Grass, Ice Beam, and more SpA investment. Thanks for sharing this creative team!
Thanks for the rate Pocket! I've been trying Lanturn out and its been doing pretty well except for the fact i have no psychic resist keep the rates coming

The blue line is a growthy stock a bought at the start of the chart (early October), the red line is the one REIT I own across the board and the green line is one of two foreign mining stocks in my ownership universe. The blue line shows up 20%, the red line down 15% and the green line with a wild ride to being down less than 1% in a down 4 plus percent environment for the S&P 500.
One reason for the timing of buying the blue line stock was as a counter strategy to my bearish sentiment--that is if the market rallied I figured this would help me to better keep up.
Going into a period where the market was going to drop 4% in two months I might think the REIT would hold up better than the growthy, albeit with a long term theme I believe in, stock.
The REIT obviously came apart like most REITs due to the financial event we are still working through. Take these three as a microcosm for how a properly diversified portfolio can work. The three are from disparate sectors and make an important point. Leadership will come from somewhere. You may be right or wrong about where leadership comes from but you will have the exposure if you are diversified, meaning you don't have to be right to have a good result.
These are all individual stocks. The stock that is up a lot is ahead of the corresponding narrow themed ETF, the REIT is down more than iShares DJ REIT (IYR) and the mining stock is about even with the iShares Global Materials ETF (MXI), I own MXI for a few accounts. So more risk and more reward with stocks, no shock, than with ETFs but interestingly enough the net result seems to be about the same.
Taking the path of least resistance is important in life and portfolio construction.
One last item, I think this week's video will be interesting. I am going to take a stab at recapping some of the meatier portfolio construction concepts discussed at the Super Bowl of Indexing I attended earlier this week.

It's early and the coffee is still working it's magic, but I'm curious...
In any well-diversified portfolio, it's likely that one or more equities will be off, and others will be propping up the portfolio. Do you make any attempt to time your entries and exits to capture these inevitable swings, or take profits from the outperformers? Or do you welcome the swings as a sign that your diversification is working & just ride it out? I guess my question is, do you have a big-picture exit strategy for taking profits, or does each position stay or go on its own merits?
Thanks for the vivid example...

part of the top down method, as i see it, is that each stock is a proxy for several things--large cap, low beta, high yield, a particular country as an example.
so one reason to sell is when a stock is no longer a good proxy for the things i thought it would be a proxy for.
my REIT is probably still a good proxy for the space but it might make sense to take the tax loss in the next couple of weeks.
i have outlined selling down partial positions when stocks get too big, i also outlined selling starbucks a few months ago thinking that I got something wrong ( the no longer a proxy idea might apply to SBUX).
The more important decision than riding it out is whether to be over, equal or underweight ahead of time. over time some of these decisions will be right and some wrong. as stated previously i hope to be right more often.
if a stock is down 20% and so is the sector, that stock is not an obvious sell if i got the sector weight right ahead of time. - 8:26 AM

I could be reading more into this, but from the conference, and I will say that I think that the collective writers at IU are tops, what would you do slightly differently as you and others are learning to take advantage of all the new products? Any chance, you see growing role of etfs in your portfolio construction?

jasper, there are two things pulling in opposite directions WRT to answering your question.
to say yes to more investment products (so going a little bigger than just one type of "wrapper") is the desire for more asset classes like intl small cap, emerging small cap, infrastructure, more in commodities.
what says no is the desire for narrower exposure in more disparate locations around the globe. for example intl RE. One could buy one of the newer ETFs or do a little more work to pick a stock that could isolate something narrower than the world or a big region and maybe pick up more yield.
i can't say for sure what I will do as i can envision multiple evolutions with the accounts i manage. - 10:08 AM

Another factor to consider in Roger's example is dividends. Of course for the readers that have been here for awhile we know that Roger likes dividends.
I don't know about the yellow line stock, but in the case of the REIT stock the dividend also helps to smooth out the graph making the real loss less than 15%. That's assuming of course that dividends were not factored in this graph. Most financial graphs don't.
Dividends can make selling at the bottom even less appealing. But as Roger said a loss makes tax day a little merrier. Especially if you think the sector is going to tank some more and you can buy it back cheaper later, like financials, REITs and homebuilders next spring.

MRM's All Natural Gainer is an ideal health supplement for individuals looking to add useful calories to their diets as well as to increase or maintain lean body mass. All Natural Gainer makes it simple to add extra calories, in proper proportions, to a delicious beverage without the hassle of preparing another to-go meal. It was designed for all age groups and active lifestyles.
Three Essential Food Categories with Optimal Ingredients
MRM's unique protein complex provides all the essential amino acids to enhance lean muscle growth. Natural Protein Optimizer™ is a special combination of ultra-filtered, low temperature processed, whey protein concentrate, instantized calcium caseinate, and egg white protein concentrate. Natural Protein Optimizer™ provides optimal amounts of essential amino acids that growing muscles crave, especially BCAA's, Glutamine and Arginine. MRM emphasizes the amount of protein per serving since it is the most prominent macronutrient proven to increase lean muscle mass.
All Natural Gainer contains a unique carbohydrate complex consisting of glucose polymers (95% sugar free) and "low glycemic index" fructose. This preferable combination of carbohydrates provides calories that are less prone to increase "body fat" while offering a long-lasting source of energy. Additionally, MRM has added trehalose, an even slower release energy substrate that renders little to no effect on insulin with maximum effect on energy and minimal fat storage.
Although fat is a highly concentrated source of energy (double that of protein and carbohydrates), MRM's Opti-Fat™ blend was precisely chosen for its ability to be metabolized quickly for energy while offering unique benefits to the heart and cell membrane. Opti-Fat™ is an all natural fat complex that includes Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), sunflower oil and omega-3 fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic). MCTs are well known for their ability to be metabolized quickly into energy sparing protein for building lean tissue. DHA and EPA are long chain omega-3 fatty acids which are mostly deficient in the standard American diet. DHA, specifically, has been widely acclaimed for its structural benefits in brain development and cognition during adolescence and maintaining mental acuity in the elderly. Combine MRM's All Natural Gainer with a sensible diet and physical exercise program for best overall lean body mass gains.

I've had a messenger bag for sometime now and i was super excited to see they had a case for my new laptop. Its super squishy and fits perfectly. I liked that it came in a few color choices.
Completely in love with this laptop sleeve. I have the macbook air, and totally feel comfortable about the protection of this very important piece of technology. It almost feels like the computer is surrounded by a big giant ugg pillow.

Review: iKeyboardRemote automates control of your iPhone or iPad from your Mac
iKeyboardRemote allows you to pair your computer with an iPad or iPhone over Bluetooth connection, and while it works well, there are some issues that hinder it from being a perfect app. Because of spotty connection issues and the slow startup, it is not an effective app for quick, on the fly connection. But for long-term use at a desk, it can be an effective pairing tool.
The app installs from the App Store, so it is ready to use as soon as you download it. Setup is not explained in the app, but in the App Store listing, so … Read more

Why did you choose to practice orthopaedic medicine?
From an academic standpoint, orthopaedics combines my interests in engineering and medicine.
More importantly, however, orthopaedics allows me to restore function and to return patients back to the activities they love.
The ability to help others in this way drove me to orthopaedics initially and continues to inspire me today.
Why did you choose to work at Duke?
I decided to join the Duke faculty to be part of a world-class academic medical center with the highest caliber clinicians and researchers, to be able to treat complex shoulder and elbow injuries in a referral population, and to do all of this in North Carolina -- a wonderful place to live and raise my family.
What do you find most rewarding about your job?
Restoring shoulder and elbow pain-free function is what the patients appreciate the most and what I find most rewarding.

I think that would be a big step up from McInnis or Anderson.....
Damon Stoudemire. Good PG just released by Memphis. After watching the game last night vs. Philly with Raymond out I relized first of all that we played with a quicker pace without felton but I also noticed that DA cannot be our 3rd PG if we want to make the Playoffs.
We should really consider signing Damon.
LINK: http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archiv...ree_on_buyout/
I think that would be a big step up from McInnis or Anderson.....
......Go Bobcats!!!!! (Hornets) ..
funny thing, I actually traded for him in NBA 2k8, he is an explosive pguard who can score a lot when he gets hot.
Stoudamire will probably select a contender, Boston, Phoenix etc.. After losing CJ Watson to GSW(he'll be signed for the rest of season), we have not so many logical options for PG.
Holy book of salary cap: http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm
Best teams' salaries site: http://www.storytellerscontracts.inf...13salaries.htm
Pending draft trades:
Trade for Sheed.
Get Brian Grant out of retirement.
Change the name to Charlotte Jailblazers.
Let's do it!!
Damon wouldn't be a bad pick up, but I don't know if he wants to play for us. I'm also curious if he isn't on the decline. I haven't seen him play much in the last two seasons, but I know he could occassionally put up some big numbers.
Supreme Leader
Bobcats Sunshine Club
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
Will most likely go to Boston or a contender ala Chris Webber.
The Cats need to consider signing: all these young ladies as the new lady Bobcats
If that can't happen, then I'd settle for a quality backup PG like Stoudamire or Boykins.
It'll make a lot of sense, but it isn't gonna happen. He'll latch onto a contender like the Celtics, who don't really have a backup PG
Well we will never know if he would come here if we dont try to sign him!
Unfortunately Damon Stoudamire isn't an MJ guy....Originally Posted by ammofan
We'll end up signing Randy Brown or Ron Harper

David Hammons
David Hammons
(American, 1943)
David Hammons
(American, b.1943) is an installation and performance artist born in Springfield, IL. In 1962, Hammons moved to Los Angeles, CA. He attended the Chouinard Art Institute from 1966 to 1968, and the Otis Art Institute from 1968 to 1972. In 1974, he moved to New York City, where he gained notoriety during the 1970s and 1980s for his work.
Much of Hammons's art contained materials that were outside the norm, including things such as elephant dung, bottles of cheap wine, and chicken bones. His first notable work was a series called
Body Prints
, which were pieces he created by imprinting greased body parts on paper. His work had a sarcastic element as he took on racial and cultural issues. For
Bliz-aard Ball Sale
, a Street Art piece Hammons created in 1983, Hammons stood on a corner selling neatly arranged snowballs of varying sizes during a winter snowstorm. His most controversial work was a billboard he created in 1988, in which he painted a blond-haired, blue-eyed, white Jesse Jackson. Written on the billboard was "How You Like Me Now?" The work was attacked by a group of young black men with sledgehammers and destroyed. In 1990, one of his untitled installation artworks involved putting urinals on trees.
Hammons received the MacArthur Fellowship in July of 1991.
Concerto in Black and Blue
, an exhibit he created in 2002, was 20,000 feet of empty, unlit space in New York's Ace Gallery, in which viewers stumbled around in the dark with flashlights. In 2004, he created a piece called
Rock Head
, in which he took a boulder he discovered in Harlem and glued African-American hair he collected from a barber shop to it. He has had solo exhibitions with White Cube in London in 2002, with Hauser & Wirth in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2003, and with L&M Arts in New York City in 2011. His work can be found in collections at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, IL, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN. He currently lives and works in New York City.

Don't just survive your time in college-- learn to thrive in this exciting environment!
Pay Equity Awareness Week

Laser ultrasonics hit the next level
bySebastien Breugnot , Marvin Klein , Konrad Peithmann , Bruno Pouet
Semiconductor-based receivers aid industrial inspection and process control.
Laser-based ultrasound is a promising technique for remote inspection of demanding in-process applications involving high workpiece translation velocities and high temperatures. Thanks to their simple design and their ability to compensate for wave-front distortions due to dynamic speckle changes, atmospheric turbulence, and vibrations in the factory environment, the new adaptive photodetectors are particularly promising for these applications. We expect to see in the next few years more in-process laser ultrasonic systems reach the stage of factory demonstration and installation.
Wide applicability
Laser ultrasonics is a noncontact, nondestructive inspection and diagnostic tool with the potential for in situ sensing and process control across a variety of industrial and aerospace manufacturing needs. Manufacturers that use laser ultrasonics produce parts with closer tolerances, labor and material savings, and higher production yields for materials as diverse as composites, steel, aluminum, semiconductors, and paper. Laser ultrasonics can determine internal properties (thickness, temperature, defects) and monitor surface processes (thin-film deposition, case hardening, shock peening).
The basic laser ultrasonic technique involves two lasers that, in essence, replace ultrasonic contact transducers. One laser, typically a high-peak-power pulsed source, generates a pulse of ultrasound in a material upon absorption of the light, while a second continuous wave laser interferometer remotely senses the ultrasonically induced surface displacements on the workpiece. This receiver approach circumvents the need for direct contact, close proximity, or squirter systems. Laser ultrasonics has a number of features that make it very attractive for process control applications:
- Its noncontact nature avoids mechanical loading of the workpiece and allows inspection of parts moving at high speeds (up to 20 meters per second).
- Its remote standoff capability allows inspection of parts in adverse manufacturing conditions, including high temperatures, vacuum, or plasmas.
- Scanning mirrors and fiber optics allow reconfigurable probing of complex-shaped parts without conformal surface tracking.
The key enabling technology for many of the new in-process applications of laser ultrasonics is the class of new, adaptive interferometers developed to detect the small surface displacements encountered in typical measurement conditions. Unlike conventional homodyne or heterodyne interferometers, these adaptive laser ultrasonic receivers efficiently process the speckled beams received from rough surfaces and/or multimode fibers. In addition, they compensate for dynamic wave-front changes resulting from beam scanning, workpiece motion, or atmospheric turbulence.
Ultrasonic receivers for inspection
While laser generation of ultrasound can be more efficient than generation with contact transducers, optical receivers for ultrasound are generally less sensitive than contact transducers for detection of ultrasonic signals. In recent years, there has been considerable interest in improving the performance of laser ultrasonic receivers. The specific requirements of such receivers are as follows:- Operation in the shot noise limit, with a surface displacement sensitivity in the angstrom range and a processing bandwidth of at least 10 megahertz (MHz) at a received power level of ~ 1 milliwatt
- The ability to process speckled beams from machined surfaces with high field of view
- The ability to compensate for low-frequency wave-front disturbances resulting from turbulence, workpiece translation, and mechanical noise
- Low cost
- Compact, rugged construction
Engineers have used laser interferometers for years to detect the small-amplitude surface displacements produced when an ultrasonic wave reaches the detected surface. Originally, passive homodyne or heterodyne interferometers with coherent detection could not operate effectively with the speckled input beams that result from interrogating a rough surface with a laser probe beam. Further, accurate path length stabilization or postprocessing electronics were required for effective operation.
The later development of time-delay interferometers, such as the confocal Fabry-Perot, has allowed the processing of light scattered from a rough surface with a large field of view. The confocal Fabry-Perot responds rapidly to changing input wave fronts and has high sensitivity, with measured values approaching the shot noise limit. But the confocal Fabry-Perot still requires stabilization of the interferometer length to a fraction of an optical wavelength, adding complexity and cost to the receiver.
More recently, a number of laser ultrasonic receivers based on adaptive reference-beam interferometers have been developed to process speckled beams with time-varying wave fronts resulting from mechanical disturbances or workpiece motion. These adaptive reference-beam interferometers have several advantages over passive reference-beam interferometers:
- No path-length stabilization is required.
- The intrinsic device field of view is higher.
- Mechanical stability tolerances are greatly reduced.
- There is compensation of low-frequency wave-front disturbances resulting from turbulence and mechanical activity.
Two possible solutions
Research and development efforts for in-process inspection applications are focusing on approaches based on two-wave mixing or on photoelectromotive force (photo-EMF) detection. In the two-wave mixing approach, the photorefractive medium acts as an adaptive beam splitter, combining a distorted signal beam with a plane-wave reference beam and matching their wave fronts for homodyne detection. To provide linear detection of a temporally phase-modulated signal beam, the phases of the beams have a bias in quadrature for optimum sensitivity. In contrast to the confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer, no path-length stabilization is required to maintain this condition.
One feature of the two-wave mixing approach is there is no material-related upper limit on the ultrasonic signal bandwidth; the bandwidth of the photodetector controls the upper limit. In contrast, the response time of the photorefractive grating controls the wave-front distortion compensation bandwidth. The grating response time also determines the maximum scan rate for scanning applications.
Many industrial applications require a compensation bandwidth of at least 1 kilohertz. The requirement for a short response time clearly favors the photorefractive semiconductors. Experimenters have observed such bandwidth in recent experiments using bulk indium phosphide and cadmium telluride, as well as photorefractive multiple quantum wells.
The other approach under development uses a reference-beam interferometer with photo-EMF detection. In this case, the photo-EMF element performs the dual function of laser-based ultrasonic detection as well as optical distortion compensation in a single semiconductor crystal. As before, the speckled signal beam interferes with the reference beam in a photorefractive material, producing a spatially modulated conductivity pattern, which leads to the production of a spatially periodic space charge field via the normal carrier migration and trapping process. The small phase modulation on the signal beam imparted by the surface motion causes a lateral vibration of the periodic free carrier grating, which induces an ac current that is proportional to the modulation amplitude and the total power.
This current develops only when the frequency of the ultrasonic phase modulation is faster than the grating relaxation rate. When the modulation frequency is lower than the grating relaxation rate, the space charge field grating can follow the motion of the fringes, producing no current. Thus, the grating relaxation rate is equivalent to the compensation bandwidth defined above, and the photo-EMF receiver has the desirable property of reduced sensitivity for noise-related frequencies below this bandwidth.
The major advantage of the photo-EMF approach is that it combines the optical compensation and detection stages of the two-wave mixing approach into a single semiconductor element, without the need for an optical readout beam or an electro-optical response. Because no transmitted beams are required, a laser wavelength with a photon energy larger than the band gap can be used. At these wavelengths, the large value of absorption coefficient provides a fast grating relaxation rate for modest levels of probe laser power.
In the case of gallium arsenide (GaAs), this rapid relaxation rate allows compensation of wave-front distortions at bandwidths exceeding 1 MHz. The upper limit on the ultrasonic signal processing bandwidth is determined by the recombination rate, which is ~ 80 MHz in conventional semi-insulating GaAs.
A feature of the photo-EMF sensor is that fabrication of the semiconducting detector element relies on conventional semiconductor lithographic techniques. Using this technology, the sensors can be formed into compact monolithic arrays on a single wafer, with the potential for phased-array, high-resolution imaging of buried features in materials, reduced background clutter, and full-frame imaging of material features in a single shot, without beam scanning.
Control at high speed, temperature
The two critical features of the adaptive photodetectors described above are the ability to do the following:
- Interrogate parts at high temperatures, up to the melting temperature of steel.
- Inspect samples moving at high translation velocities, up to 30 meters per second.
For these two applications, there are no effective competing nondestructive testing approaches.
In one early demonstration of the dynamic compensation capability of a photo-EMF receiver, a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser with a 7-nanosecond pulse width at 1.06 micrometers generated the ultrasound. The sample was an aluminum plate rotated at a constant rate. The receiver used a continuous wave, diode-pumped, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nanometers. The photo-EMF detector used a single crystal of semi-insulating chromium-doped GaAs.
The experimenters purpose was to determine the capability of the receiver to compensate for the moving speckle pattern produced by the continuous surface translation across the beam. They first obtained temporal surface displacement signals when the plate was still and then when the plate was rotating. In both plots, it is easy to identify the first sound arrival and the first echo. They observed no significant differences in the signals, confirming the ability of the photo-EMF receiver to inspect moving parts during manufacture.
Researchers first demonstrated in 1993 that they could interrogate parts with high translation velocities and high temperatures in a factory environment. In this case, the application was the real-time, online measurement of wall thickness of hot (1,000°C) seamless steel tubing immediately after hot piercing and stretching. A full inspection system was set up at Algoma Steel in Canada, and researchers got very good agreement between thickness determinations from laser ultrasonics and measurements on the cold tubing.
The most demanding sample translation velocity application to date is the inspection of paper during manufacture. Modern paper manufacturing machines operate at paper velocities of up to 30 meters per second. We have studied the use of laser ultrasonics to measure the time of flight of Lamb waves in paper. The time of flight is an index to the velocity of sound and, from this, the stiffness of the paper.
We used generation of Lamb waves by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser and detection with a photo-EMF sensor. Laboratory measurements employed a paper web simulator that operates at speeds up to 30 meters per second. We have obtained usable signals at speeds of up to 20 meters per second, and we are implementing a number of improvements that will improve the signal-to-noise ratio and thus the maximum velocity for this application.

Generally they are in update.zip format http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hac...tml#post290134 <-- something like that will install those.
AdamZ's kernels are in rom.tgz format, which is installed pretty much the same way it is just a little different.
There is the manual way, but most kernel devs make it easy and make an update.zip Generally they have instructions to go with their uploads.
Pay attention to the kernel and your ROM. Not all will function together, or function together well.
- Download the Smoked Glass Boot Rom.tgz - File should be named *.rom.tgz You may have issues with Google Chrome!
- Place the *.rom.tgz file in the root of your SD Card. It should not be inside of any folder.
- Reboot into SPRecovery v0.99.2b or v0.99.3b (Press and hold the "Power" and "X" buttons)
- The next few steps create a backup for yourself - just in case. The Installation of the ROM will do so as well - so this is optional.
- Select "Backup/Restore"
- Select "Advanced Nandroid Backup"
- Select ALL options for Backup (System, Data, Misc, Cache, Boot, Recovery)
- Name your backup whatever you want (This is a backup of your old OS, data, everything.)
- Select "Perform Backup"...
- Return to the main SPRecovery Screen by pressing the "Power" button twice.
- Select "Install" from the menu in the main SPRecovery screen.
- Select "Choose ROM from SD card" from the menu.
- Choose the *.rom.tgz file you've just downloaded and placed in the root of your SD Card.
- Wait for SPRecovery to perform a backup and decompress the ROM...
- Follow the installation instructions and choose your preferred options.
- When it tells you that you are finished... you're done.
- Reboot and enjoy.
ok thanks, and the update.zip file for the kernel won tlike overwrite anything or not make my phone boot up or put it into an infinite boot loop?

Nice hostel, good equipped kitchen, good beds, and near the city centre. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms are big (specially the private rooms) The only bad thing that I could say about the place is that is in a 4th floor, no lift, but that is good for your legs :) not that good to carry the luggage up and down.

My Girlfriend and I stayed in the double room. Room was large and clean. The Hostel was 2 blocks or so from a Major Supermarket and close to a Lido restaurant (which you will no doubt find all travelers trying out once while in Riga). Hot showers, clean rooms, common room and kitchen were as good as you would hope to find but Fantastic Eve was what we remember most about this place. Eve was a wonderful host and we actually spent quite some time chatting with her. Would stay here again.
