It's always possible, of course, that this time it will be the terrible pandemic that is feared.
But I wonder. When I did a search of this blog for "influenza," for example, I came up with this post from the beginning of 2006, which begins with the words:
An article appeared in this Sunday's NY Times advising us that our relations with our neighbors may need to change if the much-feared bird flu pandemic ever arrives.
Ah yes, remember the dread bird flu? It did kill a number of people, which is a sad thing, just as the swine flu has already done. But this does not a dangerous pandemic make.
The words "swine flu" ring a bell. In 1976, there was a promised epidemic that never came, and a flawed vaccination that caused more deaths than that year's flu did. Not a good precedent, although much better than that of the worldwide pandemic of 1918, in which the flu killed approximately fifty million people, most of them young adults in their prime (see my post about the scope of that disaster).
A work of great art that was spawned by the 1918 pandemic is the long short story "Pale Horse, Pale Rider," by Katherine Anne Porter. Porter herself was nearly a victim of the disease, as she describes in this work of fiction that is based on her own experiences. One of the now-neglected masterpieces of American literature (and a beautiful love story as well), it explains better than anything I've ever read what the horror of those times must have felt like to those who were there.

There is a circuit split on the issue of primary vs. aiding-and-abetting liability. Under the "bright line" test adopted by the Second Circuit, primary liability for securities fraud (as opposed to aiding-and-abetting liability, which is not available in private actions) only exists if the alleged misstatement is attributable on its face to the defendant.
Other circuit courts, however, have applied a more relaxed standard. The Fourth Circuit has found that it is sufficient for a plaintiff to adequately allege that (a) the defendant "participated" in the making of the misstatement, and (b) "interested investors would have known that the defendant was responsible for the statement at the time it was made, even if the statement on its face is not directly attributable to the defendant." Earlier this year, the Supreme Court granted cert in that case - Janus Capital Group v. First Derivative Traders - and presumably will resolve the circuit split.
In the interim, the Fifth Circuit has issued a decision expressly agreeing with the Second Circuit and adopting the "bright line" test. In Affco Investments 2001 LLC v. Proskauer Rose, L.L.P., 2010 WL 4226685 (5th Cir. Oct. 27, 2010), the court considered whether a law firm could have primary liability based on its provision of tax opinions that were alleged to be part of a fraudulent scheme. The company that promoted the scheme informed investors that "several major national law firms" had vetted the investments. Although plaintiffs claimed to have relied on the tax opinions, the court found that they failed to allege "that they ever saw or heard any Proskauer work product before making their decision, nor do they explicitly allege that the promoters identified Proskauer as one of the 'major national law firms.'" Accordingly, the plaintiffs "failed to show reliance on Proskauer" and the law firm could not be a primary violator.
Holding: Dismissal affirmed.
Quote of note: "Knowing the identity of the speaker is essential to show reliance because a word of assurance is only as good as its giver. Clients engage 'name-brand' law firms at premium prices because of the security that comes from the general reputations of such firms for giving sound advice, or for winning trials. Specific attribution to a reputable source also induces reliance because of the ability to hold such a party responsible should things go awry."Posted by Lyle Roberts at November 5, 2010 9:26 PM | TrackBack

Drug tracked in tissue
17 October 2011
When a new drug is developed, the manufacturer must be able to show that it reaches its intended goal in the bodys tissue, and only that goal. Such studies could be made easier with a new method now established at Lund University in Sweden.
The method is a special type of mass spectrometry which can be used on drugs 'off the shelf', i.e. without any radioactive labelling which may change the behaviour of the drug. With this method, researchers György Marko-Varga and Thomas Fehniger have managed to create a molecular image of the drug in the tissue.
The tissue examined comes from biopsies from the lungs of patients with lung cancer and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD), who have inhaled a drug to dilate the airways. The examination showed the precise spatial distribution of the drug within the tissue. The results are based on an analysis of 3 000 measurement points of 0.01 mm2 in each biopsy sample.
"When you want to register a new drug, you must be able to both explain its exact mechanisms of action and show that it is effective and safe. In order to avoid side-effects, the drug should reach only the cells for which it is intended. Our new technical platform makes it easier to show this", says György Marko-Varga.
He believes it will be possible to use the new technology to develop safer and more effective drug candidates. In the future it could also be used in clinical treatment, to help doctors select the right drug for a specific patient.
The researchers first conducted animal experiments, using drug doses 100 times higher than those now measured in patients. The group then optimised and refined the technology to achieve the sensitivity needed for measuring doses of drugs normally administered to patients.
Professors György Marko-Varga and Thomas Fehniger are both members of the Department of Measurement Technology and Industrial Electrical Engineering at Lund University. Thomas Fehniger (who is the principal author of the article) is currently working at The Tallinn University of Technology, sponsored by the Estonian Science Foundation under the European Social Fund, while György Marko-Varga works part time for the University of Tokyo. The two researchers have previously worked at the pharmaceuticals company AstraZeneca, which has also contributed to the study. The study was recently published in the journal Analytical Chemistry.

"To be fair to those guys, we were very thin going into last season, and then we just get decimated by injuries.

Automatically Generate Terrain Data from Images LPS Automatic Terrain Extraction (ATE) is an LPS add-on module providing automatic extraction of Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) for project areas that may encompass hundreds of images. With LPS ATE, you can create medium density surfaces very rapidly. With the process-driven workflow, you can set up your DTM project quickly and run automated extraction routines, as well as advanced operations such as terrain filtering, subsetting, and more. Embedded quality control and accuracy reporting tools ensure that your output is accurate.
Automatic Collection of 3D Terrain Data
LPS Automatic Terrain Extraction streamlines productivity by automating the collection of 3D terrain data. This significantly reduces production effort since only localized editing of the output is required rather than time-consuming full manual compilation. Multiple quality checks and accuracy report tools ensure detailed monitoring and quality control of automatic extraction output.
Built-in Tools for Terrain Processing
With LPS Automatic Terrain Extraction, data may be automatically post-processed after terrain point correlation. Terrain model refinement options allow filtering out individual points, smoothing, or specifying specific algorithms for particular areas if needed.

SPOKANE, WA -- A 12th inning RBI from Payden Cawley-Lamb gave Gonzaga a dramatic 1-0 win over Loyola Marymount, ending the Bulldogs' four-game West Coast Conference losing streak.
The game winning run came with the bases loaded and one out. Andy Hunter got on base with a single to right field, and advanced to second base on a Billy Moon single. A balk called on Aaron Griffin put both in scoring position. Griffin then walked Mitchell Gunsolus to load the bases. Cawley-Lamb's liner was nearly caught, but would have still been enough to plate Hunter.
Marco Gonzalez was the hero for the Zags as he went 11 innings, threw 139 pitches, striking out 15 and allowing five hits and no walks.

Looking at the Football Outsiders' Drive stats (seen here) it showed me just how great both the offense and defense are playing. It got me thinking about which unit I was more impressed with, the offense or the defense. This will depend on your preseason expectations, but let's take a look at the current stats.
I like to look at efficency stats because it puts all teams on a level playing field. The numbers can become skewed if one teams has more drives than another (allowing for more yards, turnovers, etc) but by normalizing the stats on a per drive basis, it makes it much more useful to compare to the rest of the league.
Yards per drive: 33.64 (8th)
Points per drive: 2.35 (2nd)
Turnovers per drive: .079 (4th)
Drive Success rate: .705 (10th)
For context, Drive success rate is defined as:
the percentage of time that a team will get a first down or touchdown in a given set of four downs. Introduced in the Pro Football Prospectus 2005 essay "Debunking the Myth of Drive Momentum" by Tim Gerheim and Jim Armstrong.
Yards per Drive: 27.55 (10th)
Points per Drive: 1.92 (22nd)
Turnovers per drive: .200 (1st)
Drive Success Rate: .672 (15th)
For me, the offense has been more impressive. With Kolb slated to lead the helm early in the season, I expected there to be a learning curve for him and have some struggles. When Kolb went down and Vick came in, I was wary of what Vick could do with the offense.
Obviously, Vick has greatly exceeded expectations. The Eagles have one of the most efficient offenses in the NFL both in scoring points and limiting turnovers.
As far as the defense, they have been a pleasant surprise as well. They are the best at forcing turnovers and have done a nice job of holding the opposing offense at bay while Vick takes care of the offense.
So which unit has impressed you the most? I think both sides have their positives and negatives, so it will be interesting to see if there is a split vote or an overwhelming majority for one side.

That's because growing up in northern New Jersey, in the shadow of New York City, Burt watched his father handle life as a star athlete every day. Burt's father, Jim, was an All-Pro defensive lineman with the New York Giants, playing eight of his 11 NFL seasons with Big Blue.
So when the younger Burt, currently a senior at the University of Miami, joins the Class A Brooklyn Cyclones sometime later this month, he says he won't be fazed by the spotlight or what should be an initial flurry of media attention.
"I was part of it the whole time growing up," Burt told MLB.com. "New York fans are the best fans in the world but they are also the hardest to please. You see some guys go to New York and hit their stride but some guys fall apart. You have to have a strong mind to play in New York. I think I know what to expect and I'm ready for it."
Burt, a first baseman/outfielder, certainly seems capable of handling the Big Apple. He's already handled playing for a high-profile program in Miami and was a two-sport star at New Jersey high school power Bergen Catholic.
"He wanted to be picked by one of the local teams so this worked out perfectly," the elder Burt said. "Playing in New York is the best. This is exactly where you want to be. But you have to produce. The fans here appreciate a good hard day's work. They want to see you hustle down to first base or dive for the ball. That's New York. They respect guys who play that way.
"My son is definitely going to grind it out. They will appreciate him in New York. He knows the area, so this couldn't have worked out more perfect. This is almost like a dream. This is perfect."
Burt is hitting .374 through 58 games this season with 14 homers and 71 RBIs. He also has a .692 slugging percentage heading into Saturday's NCAA Tournament Super Regional game against Florida. He has 36 homers and 172 RBIs in his four years at Miami and is the only Hurricane to play in all 121 games over the last two seasons.
"I was kind of hoping I'd get drafted by the Mets because I wanted to play close to home," said Burt, who admitted he was a Yankees fan growing up. "I had no idea, though. I've been a Yankees fan for 23 years, though. Don Mattingly was my favorite baseball player growing up, of course.
"I just wanted a chance to play professional ball and now I'm happy to be a Met. I knew they had the Single-A team in Brooklyn, so I was hoping to get picked up by them. Now my family can come watch me play."
While the elder Burt made a name for himself in the Big Apple as a football player, he excelled in all sports while growing up in Buffalo. Initially, he figured he'd be playing hockey, following the likes of former Sabre great Gilbert Perrault. But when he continued to grow, football became his calling.
The younger Burt, at 5-10, 230, never experienced the growth spurt his father did. So, by the time he reached his senior year of high school, he knew football probably wasn't going to be a serious option. He was a linebacker in high school but couldn't compete at the position at the collegiate level because of his size and lack of speed.
As a result, the elder Burt turned into one of the best baseball coaches his son could have ever had.
"He didn't grow into that 6-3, 6-4 guy so baseball was a natural for him," Burt said. "I played in New York in the era of Keith Hernandez and Don Mattingly. I shared an agent with [former Mets pitcher] Randy Myers so I would always go to the park. I learned about hitting and fielding from the people who played.
"When I went to San Francisco, after awhile the equipment guy left to take a job with the Cleveland Indians. I'd go to the ballpark then and talk to David Justice, Jim Thome and Richie Sexson just to pick their brains. I wanted to hear the perspective of everyone who played the game so when I was coaching my kid I could say 'This is how you do it.' You get in their heads and you gain a lot of knowledge."
The younger Burt has been a team captain at Miami for three seasons. Because of that, he says he has the respect of his teammates and also knows how to respect them. It's all part of a complete package, one that could turn out to be a 19th-round steal for New York.
"I've won Super Bowls and all that but you don't smell the roses until you're done," Burt said. "But when your kid does it, it's a thousand times over more exciting. It's so satisfying because he's worked his tail off to get where he is and he's finally getting the respect he probably deserved a few years ago."

Glad you asked.
Whenever a dog checks in or out and is walked through the kennel, the rest of the dogs bark themselves silly. If that happened all day long they'd never get any rest, and their stay would be a lot more stressful. So we have built in discrete periods of down time to give them a happier stay.
The late 15 minute window was started since we are out there anyway letting the dogs out and administering medicines one final time and we felt it would be a convenience for you. We eliminated it mid-week in the non-summer months because it was seldom used and it afforded us a chance to take care of the dogs on a more flexible schedule so we could attend to family responsibilities.
There are only 4 days a year we do not have drop off or pick up, but we still take care of the pets who are here
We know our hours are hard to remember, but we've tried to make it up to you by being open seven days a week and lots and lots of evenings. We don't know of another kennel who has 8 PM check out on Sundays. We hope any inconvenience we cause in remembering our hours is more than offset by your ability to pick up your dog when you get home from a big weekend.

Eight held in Lieksa over Facebook hate speech
Police taking tougher line on online racial incitement
print this
National Police Commissioner
Mikko Paatero
says that police will take a tougher line on racist agitation on the internet.
Paatero says that hate speech on the internet has been constantly increasing.
Police in the North Karelian town of Lieksa
have launched a preliminary investigation into threats against local immigrants that have been made on the Facebook social network.
Six young people were detained briefly over the weekend, suspected of incitement against a national group, and two others on suspicion of aggravated incitement against a national group. The suspects vary in age from 15 to 50.
National Police Commissioner Paatero
does not remember a case in which as many people would have been arrested at one time under similar circumstances.
"This is a very exceptional case. Our threshold still has to stay relatively high, so I believe that there has been much consideration in this case, and that the writing has been seen to be exceptional."
During the past year police have learned of thousands of racist entries on various websites. Paatero says that a fifth of these have come under investigation.
"This kind of writing is increasing constantly."
Detective inspector
Antti Arponen
says that the site, which was set up by a local Lieksa man, contains abuse and threats especially against Somalis who have moved to Lieksa.
"The page also has a video clip containing actual violence", he says.
Some of those who were detained are reportedly connected with other racist crimes that have come out in Lieksa in the past two years.
Police say that there have been 34 participants
in the Facebook group in question, but that most of them have simply voiced opinions on the immigrants coming into Lieksa.
In the past two years a community of about 200 immigrants, mostly Somali, has been established in Lieksa.
The maximum punishment
for aggravated incitement against a national group is four years imprisonment.
Incitement is considered aggravated if there are calls for serious violence in a way that clearly endangers public order and safety.
All eight suspects
were released during the weekend. Two of them were ordered not to leave the area.
Some of the suspects have admitted to using inappropriate language, and they promised to delete some of their messages.
The administrator of the group in question has also deleted most of the articles.

Thorpe Award Finalists: Eric Berry, Joe Haden (Florida), Earl Thomas (Texas)
So, I saw this on SportsCenter's bottom line, and apparently no one in the MSM has picked up on it yet, because I can't find it mentioned anywhere other than the Texas fansite Barking Carnival, linked above. So until then, "I saw it on SportsCenter" will have to suffice. By the way, Earl Thomas will be playing the role of Eric Berry, 2008: Thomas has much better statistics than the other two finalists. Which means Berry is going to win.

Brazilian Seahawks fan here! I'd like to share with you guys what would be my dream draft for the Seahawks. I'm trying to be realistic, so no trades on this draft. Sorry in advance for any bad english.
12# - Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama: I know a lot of people here don't like this pick, but I'm sold on Upshaw. Rob Rang from Seahawks Draft Blog already made a more eloquent case for picking him, but I think this guy could give us the pass rush we need and play all over the field. I see a little James Harrison on the tape I watched from him and I guess he could be our SLB in base defense (with K.J. Wright in the middle, now that Hawthorne is gone) and them move to LE on passing downs. And even sub for Clemons at Leo if he gets hurt.
43# - Mychael Kendricks, LB, Cal OR Lavonte David, LB, Nebraska: I'd be happy with any of those two. They are fast, sure tacklers with a mean streak and any of them could be our new WLB. They would solve the speed problem at the linebacker position. I don't like Zach Brown at all here. Pretty good athlete, but he plays soft, not the type of guy we want on our D.
76# Chris Polk, RB, Washington OR Robert Turbin, RB, Utah State: for me, this is the ideal order of our picks: DE/OLB - LB - RB. We need a legit backup for Lynch. The guy is awesome, but he can't continue to take so many carries. Remember what happened with Larry Johnson, the guy was a beast until Herm Edwards broke him. Polk or Turbin could carry the rock if Lynch goes down and keep him fresh for the playoffs!
Well, after the third it starts to get murky, so I won't try to guess names. I'd like a legit LEO at the fourth round, a guy we could groom to replace Clemons next year. Then at the 6th and 7th rounds, I'd like two DBs, a corner and a safety, to adress our depht issues. I'm not high in picking a developmental quarterback; let's continue to improve our D and let Flynn shows what he got. The only glaring hole I see after this draft is guard, but I guess we could sign another veteran stopgap (Lutui?) until Moffitt/Carpenter gets healthy.
I'd be pretty stoked with a draft like this, what do you guys think?

Banks consolidation Chidambaram asks unions to convince their top leaders
Our Bureau
SPEAKING HIS MIND: The Union Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, addressing the Bancon 2005 conference, in Kolkata on Friday. A. Roy Chowdhury
Kolkata , Nov. 11
BANK employee unions, thought to be satisfied that consolidation among banks is necessary, should now convince their national leaders on its merits, the Finance Minister, Mr P. Chidambaram, has said.
The statement may be seen against the backdrop of the staunch opposition to consolidation proposals, expressed particularly by some sections of bank employees.
The Minister was addressing newspersons after inaugurating BANCON 2005, the annual bankers' conference that opened in Kolkata on Friday.
Earlier, Mr Chidambaram urged banks to monitor their assets closely and ensure quality, increase non-fund income, introduce new products and manage risks efficiently.
Good governance would enable bankers to address these issues, he said, adding that banks had been encouraged to tap the capital market effectively.
"All customer segments deserve the same attention. Customers are the very reason for your existence. Complaints must be redressed, especially if these are lodged by the poor and the vulnerable", the assembled bankers were told.
Bank finance should contribute more to GDP: The FM implored banks to raise their contribution to the country's GDP, which is currently around 35 per cent.
In many countries it is as high as 50-75 per cent. Incidentally, a 7 per cent-plus GDP growth is expected this year.
The economic outlook is "bright", he noted, adding that banks would need to effectively finance the growth that wasbeing projected.
However, Indian banks are small; only 22 of them figure among the top 1,000 banks in the world.
In Asia, SBI (the largest in India) is the only local entity that has made it to the top-25 list.
In comparison, China's fourth-largest bank is 2.5 times that of SBI.
Size, therefore, is being seen as a limiting factor.
"A simple calculation will indicate that banks, to attain the 50 per cent GDP contribution status, will have to raise about Rs 60,000 crore additional capital over the next five years," Mr Chidambaram said, adding that the additional capital can come by way of improved profitability (and retained profits), better recovery or by raising resources from the market.
Strengthen capital base: Indian banks must expand their capital base, which will help them finance fresh activities, including lending more to agriculture and SMEs as well as to the unorganised sector.
Nevertheless, the Finance Minister was satisfied with the progress recorded in agri lending as banks have exceeded their targets on this front.
However, a few segments will still have to be focused on - tenant farmers, micro enterprises and small enterprises.
Tenant farmers, in particular, have no access to bank credit at all, not with the bulk of the credit going to the land-owning farmers.
As for micro enterprises, the "burst of energy" lately generated by the rural poor should be financed by banks, especially when SHGs (self-help groups) are involved.
SMEs too should be backed by lending institutions, particularly because they have to withstand long downturns in business cycles.
With credit ratings increasingly becoming the accepted norm for the SME sector, small entrepreneurs need particular attention, it is felt.
SMEs are important because of their capacity to create jobs and contribution to exports.

Connecticut Rep. Tim Larson proposes making Halloween on last Saturday of October
- A proposal to change Halloween day in the name of safety has been catching a lot attention.
Connecticut Rep. Tim Larson says he is looking to get a resolution that would make Halloween the final Saturday of October every year in his state.
"My kids always end up with dad rushing home when it's during the week," Larson said.
That's just one of the reasons why Larson is putting the idea out there.
"It just makes it a much more relaxed event," he said.
It's just an idea at this point.
This year, Halloween falls on a Monday, meaning kids are out on a school night.
For some, Larson's idea is a spooky one, and having Halloween on the last day in October is a tradition that shouldn't be tarnished.
"It's the idea that we're actually spending time debating Halloween rather than debating the real issues at hand," said Sen. Rob Kane of the 32nd Assembly Dist.
But Larson said his proposed change could lead to a potential economic impact.
"It's about a $7 billion industry, so it may even create some more jobs along the way," Larson said.
So, do you think Halloween would be better always being on a weekend? Or should this goulash tradition remain?

Examples from Modern Times
Cultural anthropologists have historically illustrated how funerary beliefs and practices provide insight into people's thinking about life on earth, and our relationships with other people, nature and other animals. This section explores how such beliefs apply to funerary practices involving animals, with implications for:
- how we view our relationships with animals,
- their roles in our lives,
- the discrepancies in how people treat animal bodies of those who are loved vs. those considered 'food' or 'material,' and
- how we relate to 'nature' and its role in our everyday lives.
We will also illustrate how some consider burrying the remains of a beloved animal in a 'whole-family burial plot' as a beautiful conclusion to earthly life, while others might sadly regard such a practice as an offense.
We are the first generation to behold the Internet and experience the many ways it alters our world and lives. In just a couple of decades, privacy has become an increasingly rare phenomenon. A few have shared extremely private matters of the heart – their experiences with natural burial. We thank them for their courage and vision in sharing these stories with the rest of us.
Below are stories of pet burials as well as those about animals who would not fall into the category 'pet'. We will post an exploration of the term 'pet' in the future, but for now – in this section – we include stories of time-honored tributes to animals who were loved, respected, and considered either family or friend.
Martha Stewart's dog Paw Paw
Read Martha Stewart's moving tribute to her beloved dog, Paw Paw, in her 2008 blog. At right, Francesca and Sharkey paying last respects to Paw Paw before his burial. Martha writes, "April 12th, 2008 was an early spring day. It was the day Paw Paw was laid to rest amidst the crocus and greening grass."
Dian Fossey & Digit
Famed primatologist, Dian Fossey, filmed a moving burial of her beloved gorilla friend, Digit. Upon her death in 1985, she was laid to rest beside Digit in a burial ground behind her Rwanda cabin (the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International).
A more recent gorilla burial (9/09) has been documented by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International. Karisoke staff and researchers provide a loving burial for Titus in the same burial ground where Dian Fossey rests.
Dorothy at Sanaga-Yong Chimpanzee Rescue Center
"More than a dozen grief-stricken chimpanzees joined in an extraordinary expression of mourning as an elder in their family was laid to rest at a West African animal sanctuary" NY Post. The original story was presented by National Geographic (10/09).

According to the BBC and his own website, popular American self-defense instructor, Tim Larkin has been banned from entering the UK. Larkin was preparing to board a UK bound plane from Vegas on Tuesday, when he was given a letter from a UK Border Agency. The letter indicated "his presence here was no conducive to the public good."
Larkin is the subject of an exclusion order issued by the Home Office. According to a spokesman, "The home secretary will seek to exclude an individual if she considers that his or her presence is not conducive to the public good."
Larkin, who was scheduled to deliver the keynote speech at the Martial Arts Show in Birmingham and host a seminar in Tottenham, told BBC that banning him from entering the UK was a "gross over-reaction". Larkin told BBC Radio 4 that he believed he was being excluded based on his criticism of Britian's self-defense laws.
Although previously affiliated with Jerry Pedersen's Scientific Combat Reactionary System (S.C.A.R.S.), Larkin now teaches his own system dubbed, "Target Focus Training". He is a well-known, albeit somewhat controversial figure in the self-defense community. A peruse through some of the popular self-defense related forums reveals that much of the controversy stems from Larkin's background as a Navy SEAL and the claim that S.C.A.R.S. was the official hand-to-hand combat system of the SEALs.
So what's so different from what Larkin teaches and what other self-defense instructors teach? Larkin claims there was "nothing outrageous" about his views on self-defense.
Larkin said, "This is not being a vigilante. You are sitting in your house and you're being attacked, or you're attacked out in the street…There's an awful lot of martial arts and self defense being taught there right now that gives no instruction on [how to hurt] the human body. There are those rare, rare black swan occasions – like the riots – where law-abiding citizens are put in situations where they are facing grievous bodily harm and they hesitate because they are afraid of being prosecuted. That is a very real thing."
I agree with Larkin's contention that people should be taught to inflict severe injury using their body's natural weapons, hands, feet, knees, elbows, head, etc. What else would you do if faced with a deadly threat while unarmed? If to prevent the imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to yourself or another person, you would be justified in shooting an assailant, why would you not be justified in breaking his neck or gouging out his eye? Deadly force is deadly force whether it's shooting an attacker, thrusting a pen into his throat, or running him over with a vehicle.
The obvious caveat is that in addition to teaching someone how to use deadly force, you must teach them under what circumstances the use of such force would be justified. Without a clear understanding of the laws governing the use of deadly force, you may defeat your attacker only to spend the rest of your life behind bars.
I don't believe that the mere fact that an instructor teaches empty handed deadly force techniques should preclude them from entering a particular country. What are your thoughts?

March 9th is being set aside as the launch date for the New Jetta. The New Jetta was aired at the Chengdu Auto Show in October this year and was then pushed out of the limelight at the Guangzhou Auto Show where the New Santana and New Bora took to the stage instead. Although we were across the road from the Chengdu Auto Show when attending the Global Automotive Forum, we saw the crowds rushing for access to the show on public day and figured CCT could go without Chengdu Auto Show coverage.
The New Jetta sits on top of the PQ25 platform which is shared with the Polo and the Skoda Rapid, which will likely fall into the same pricing bracket when launched. If you thought the New Jetta would be a reasonably priced car to bring potential economy buyers into the VW fold you were wrong. Nissan are a strong example of how to mix low cost and high cost products in a dealership and sell well, on one hand they have brought the Nissan March and Livina to China which start at a mere 70,000RMB and bring in major sales volumes, and they also have the larger and more expensive SUV and sedan range that are priced 200,000RMB to 300,000RMB. VW's New Jetta, according to media reports, will be priced from 83,400RMB to 118,400RMB which slightly overlaps the New Bora's 119,000RMB to 134,000RMB price tag. Of course the Bora comes with a 1.6L or 1.4TSI, where as the New Jetta gets a 1.4L or a 1.6L with 6 speed automatic and manual gearbox.
The question is, "will it sell?" with Chinese consumers shying away from Japanese cars due to them being "unsafe", European, Korean and American brands are getting a bigger say in the market whilst the patriots are opting for higher end Chinese models. In the Chinese market you could put the VW brand on literally anything and it would sell in numbers big enough to make rival manufacturers groan.

Foobar2000 for the TangoDJ
About Foobar2000
Foobar2000 is a lightweight audio player that is excellent for the tangodj on Windows. Free as in beer and quite usable out of the box, the possibilities for customizations are endless.
For prelistening, install two instances of the player, and configure one for each sound device. If the sound from the internal sound card is good (which is often the case with recent laptops), you can use a usb headset, which is cheaper than buying an extra soundcard. If the internal soundcard is not good enough, buy an extra sound card.
Both options give you the possibility to install two players, and configuring them to play to different outputs. One for checking your tandas in advance, the other (with best quality) for the audience.
Download the installer from http://foobar2000.org
Select portable mode when you install, and install twice into two different directories, e.g. fb2k-prelisten and fb2k-live.
Basic configuration
I prefer a quite simple layout, for instance "Simple playlist + Tabs", "System Default" and "Default Playlist" in the Quick Appearance setup.
Next you have to setup your music library, as foobar2000 has a powerful database interface to your music collection, like most current audio players. Add your music folder under File->Preferences->Media Library->Music Folders Activate the Search media library viewer in the same settings pane.
For the player to use for the audience output (foobar-live), set the "Sort incoming files by" blank under File->Preferences->General.
This is really all you need to get going, compose your tandas in the prelisten player, and drag and drop to the live player. To add the new tanda at the end of the playlist, you can drop it at the end, or at the playlist tab.
Some tips for further customization follow below.
Trimming/adding silence
Tracks from different cds typically are spaced with variable amount of silence. For equal silence spacing, use the remove silence dsp that comes with foobar2000. Under File->Preferences->Playback->DSP Manager, add the dsp "Skip silence". You have to set parameters for the plugin, a threshold of 54 dB and a minimum length of silence of 750ms works for me.
To add silence between tracks you need the additional plug-in Post-track silence. Configure it to add an apropriate amount of silence between tracks, 1-4 seconds. Not too short, not too long. I use 1250ms.
Volume adjustment with ReplayGain/EBU R128
With ReplayGain, you can reduce and almost eliminate the need to manually adjust volumes on individual tracks. You calculate an adjustment to each track, and this information is stored in tags with no modification to the stored waveform. Use foobar2000 to add gain information and enable track gain for playback under File->Preferences->Playback->ReplayGain.
Generally, ReplayGain reduces playback volume, so you may want to add a few dB of preamp, but be careful so you don't add too much, as this may lead to clipping. I have used +2.0 dB without problems, but it depends on your music collection.
Also consider using the more recent EBU R128 specification for calculating the gain values (this is now the default with Foobar2000).
To keep track of your statistics, create a user at last.fm, install the plugin for audioscrobbler and join the tangoDJ group at Last.fm
I use separate tags for djing, to separate from my other music. For instance, I use my own genre tag, tdj_genre with categories IS_TANGO, IS_VALS and IS_MILONGA (etc) which makes it possible to search only the genre tag and not the title, removing false hits, eg. tangos with milonga in the title.
I have used standard dark palettes in this example for use in the often dark environment of a milonga.
If you want to try (or improve) this setup, you can download the setupfiles below, install under File->Preferences->Display->Default User Interface->Import Theme:

Hi Simba,
What is your "standard" Foobar2000-equalizer settings?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings from Buenos Aires, Mariano
2011 August 27Shahar permalink
It's a wounderful and useful article!
2012 September 11
Hi Simba,
I find this article really useful. I used to dj with Winamp, configuring it as you suggest, one instance live and another for pre-listening, but Winamp doesn't allow drag and dropping from one instance to another, and so, I'm changing to Foobar with your interfaces.
There's one improvement I'd like to have, and don't really know how to implement it, or where to find what I wish to have. That is a big timer on the upper toolbar with the time played and the time left to play, either in the song or in a selection. This last option (which in winamp its almost automatic) is very useful to calculate which songs to put, for instance, to arrive to a given hour, normally closing hour.
Do you have any hints?
2013 September 17
Great tips! I've just started getting into tango and I'm in the process of building a library for DJing at local practicas. I've seen others using Itunes, mixx, and other programs, but I've been planning to use foobar2000.
Question: Instead of using replaygain, have you tried vlevel?
2013 September 17
And instead of EQing… I'm kind of curious about using this, though I have no intuition for how I would specifically make use of it:
2013 September 18
Could you clarify how you apply replygain/EBUR128 (e.g. source mode, processing etc) ? Thanks again!
2014 March 15
Nice article. Thanks.
Simba wrote "an adjustment to each track, and this information is stored in tags with no modification to the file."
I think that's incorrect. Foorbar2000′s storing in tags does make a modification to the file, and this can have a big effect e.g. on incremental backup of a large library. (What's true is there's no modification to the waveform in the file. )One may avoid modification to the file by using instead MediaMonkey or JRiver Media Center, though then the adjustment acts only in that same program.

News: 50 Cent Convinces NBA Star To Join His Team: "50 Approaches SMS Audio The Same Way I Do Each Of My Games"
Sunday, Dec 15, 2013 8:21PM
G-Unit leader 50 Cent's SMS Audio headphones company may reach new peaks in 2014 with NBA superstar Carmelo Anthony now joining the team.
According to a press release, Melo has become an official investor and advisor to the SMS Audio brand.
SMS Audio, LLC (www.SMSAudio.com), a premier audio headphone and accessories brand from Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, today announces that six-time NBA All-Star and NCAA Champion, Carmelo Anthony joins SMS Audio as an investor/partner and advisor. As part of his new role with SMS Audio, Anthony is also a brand ambassador for SMS Audio worldwide. "50 Cent approaches SMS Audio the same way I do each of my games - with focus and passion," said Mr. Anthony. "SMS Audio produces and markets high caliber products, delivering a sound unlike anything I have heard - I look forward to representing such an innovative global brand." (Business Wire)
The Unit head also issued a statement to confirm Anthony's arrival.
"Carmelo Anthony is one of today's premier athletes and is known globally for both his sportsmanship and his philanthropic endeavors," said 50 Cent, CEO of SMS Audio. "He perfectly embodies the values behind SMS Audio and we're excited to have him representing our brand - Providing Superior Sound Quality through Innovative Audio Products." (Business Wire)
Last winter, 50 spoke on mega producer Timbaland owning a solid portion of his growing company.
"That's exciting, that's really exciting that Tim, you know, wanted to come and get involved with SMS. Because now, he has ownership in the company. Equity ownership and he's involved in it and it gives him the same incentive that I have with moving forward and being successful. We're doing big things. We've got the CES [Consumer Electronics Show] convention coming up. We're doing good, man." (Whoolywood Shuffle)
Buzz behind the unexpected deal heated up the Internet in January.
The "Candy Shop" hit-maker founded SMS Audio LLC in 2011 and his range of electronics has been a big hit among fans. Now, Timbaland is throwing his support behind his pal's business venture by funneling his own cash into the firm and agreeing to serve as a member of the corporation's board of directors. The music producer, real name Timothy Mosley, will also help design new products. (Star Pulse)Need something fun and interactive to do with your pals?

About Me
I can take some getting used to. I love to draw, read, and play basketball. I also write occasionally, although I feel that none of it is good enough to post here at the moment. I can be a bit blunt, and may come off as abrasive and stuck up. I'm really just super shy at first, although once you get me started talking it's hard to get me to shut up I don't usually mean to offend people(you can tell when I do), I just speak a lot without thinking and am very sarcastic :3 I live in the world inside my head where all my people come from and am kinda distant because of that. I also spit out random things that make no sense whatsoever to normal people. Trust me it makes sense in my head I swear. I can have a hard time getting my point across as I have a hard time finding the exact words I'm looking for (which is why I draw way more than I can write )
I don't really care if your bi, straight, gay, lesbian, tall short fat or skinny, rich, poor, middle class, skin color, anything. You be nice to me and I'll be nice to you. Simple. Really it is~

SUN Shangyang
Professor, Sociology, Peking University
In China, higher education has always been considered as the main venue to achieve upward social mobility. University students, usually seen as the "most favored" people in society, are expected to take leadership in the future development of Chinese society. Considering the interactions between university students and Christianity in the history of modern China, the attitudes of university students toward Christianity have exerted a great influence in China.
Based on our exploratory survey on the attitudes of Peking University students toward Christianity, we have made some discoveries. There is an overall trend among Peking University students: they hold neutral, objective, and cautious perspectives on Christianity. Most of them know a little about Christianity, and those who have Christian friends are more likely to be familiar with this religion. As they learn more about Christianity, they might be more likely to have a relatively positive attitude toward it. The main channels for them to learn about Christianity are the mass media, reading, and talking with teachers or friends. The instructional help of believers becomes increasingly important as these students grow in their preliminary understanding of Christianity.
As a comprehensive university, Peking University can not represent all kinds of universities in Beijing. Therefore, in order to better understand university students' attitudes toward Christianity, we plan to extend our survey and interview students in other kinds of educational institutions, including colleges and universities of science, technology, agriculture, medicine, law, and art.
Using a scientific survey, this project will be the first cross-sectional study on the attitudes of university students in Beijing toward Christianity. We plan to use stratified, multistage cluster designs with Probabilities Proportionate to Size (PPS). A sample of 2000 students will be selected from the thirteen colleges and universities among the fifty-five higher educational institutions in Beijing.
xThis project's theoretical approach is not only to testify to the second exception of the desecularization thesis raised by Peter Berger; that is, the global elite subculture is still secular, but also to answer the following questions through an attitude survey: In a non-western social context such as China, has the permeating Communist atheistic education been curbed as it encounters the trend of de-secularization and the emerging interest in religion among today's university students? After the disenchantment with the mainstream ideology of atheism, while demand exceeds supply in the religious market and the meaning of life is unclear, will those university students who are searching for answers to ultimate questions follow the historical precedent, that is, be indifferent, rejecting, and even hostile toward Christianity, or will they adopt the opposite attitude and become tolerant, accepting, interested in, or even believing in Christianity? What is the situation of the Christian university students? Is the ratio of Christian university students higher or lower than that of the whole nation? What has caused the attitude shift in this group? And what does this shift mean?
By examining the above questions, we would also like to discuss questions concerning future trends: In modern China, are universities the reproducing mechanism of social and mental structures, or are they a crucial participant in the public sphere, gradually becoming the field for democratization of knowledge and meaning? And what role will Christianity play in this field?
With reference to the accomplishment of World Value Surveys (WVS) and National Study of Youth and Religion(NSYR)in the United States, and on the basis of our experience of previous studies, we intend to revise our questionnaire and then try to assure the measurement for the above questions in terms of reliability and validity. Our research team is qualified for this work.
Drawing lessons from WVS and NSYR in the United States and comparing our results with Spiritual Life of Chinese Residents and data from Religious Situation among Renmin University Students conducted by Professor Huilin Yang, we hope to make headway in both the method and the findings.
During our project, we will issue one to three research reports. The final results will be in an essay of about thirty pages, which we hope to publish in JSSR or American Journal of Sociology(AJS).
Key words: university students in Beijing, attitudes toward Christianity, survey

1) Cory Schneider
If he does take over the Canucks #1 role and sees 60+ starts then he should be among the league's top five goalies as his .928 career NHL sv% (in 68 games) has us foaming at the mouth.
2) Alexander Edler
So close last year with 49 points and was even better the season before, with 33 in 51 games, if injuries hadn't slowed him. Look for him to take the next step as he could challenge for the scoring title amongst dmen.
3) Tyler Seguin
Showed tremendous growth last season by adding 45 points to his rookie season total (22 to 67) and we think he can take another step as he often wasn't featured on PP1 and averaged less than 17 mpg for the season.
4) Loui Eriksson
Has averaged 72 points a season over the past three but hasn't been able to get over the hump. With the offensive additions in Dallas (Jagr, Whitney & Roy), he should have more help this year.
5) Tuukka Rask
Was the Bruins #1 for a good part of 2009/10 but still had to split time with Thomas and maxed out at 45 games. This season will be his chance to own the net. Has the team, the experience & the opportunity to put up a huge statistical season.
6) Mikko Koivu
His numbers took a step back last year (66 points /82gms) but in the three prior seasons he was lurking around the 70 point level and should benefit from playing with Parise.
7) Jamie Benn
On a per-82 game basis his numbers are showing great growth with 41, 67 & 73 points over his first three seasons. With the help of some new playmaking wingers and a little more luck on the PP (only 10 PPPs last year), Benn should be right there.
8) Patrick Sharp
Has averaged 73 points per 82 games over the past three seasons and just needs to stay healthy for a full season (has played 74 in each of the last two) to make it official.
9) Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
He flashed his potential by playing at close to a point-a-game pace (35 points in 37 games) until his shoulder troubles began. But I wouldn't call him a fantasy superstar yet as he could put up 75 points but leave you wanting more in a lot of categories.
10) P.K. Subban
He is already a fantasy superstar due to his all-round production but we think there is a chance for him to approach a 50 point season as he should see plenty of minutes and the Habs PP has to be better than last season (ranked 28th in the league).
Any other stars you expect to take a jump forward this season?

The Vermont Brewer's Festival is in full swing at the Burlington waterfront.
In the near future, out-of-staters may not need to make the trip to Vermont to find the state's best brews.
A morning start and threat of rain didn't stop thousands of beer enthusiasts from sampling the best suds Vermont and New England have to offer.
"It's one of the best things Burlington has to offer down on the waterfront," said festival attendee Vince Hayes.
"I'm not a big beer drinker, I like Bud-Light, but he's teaching me about hops and whatever," said Dianaa Reynolds.
"I try and hit a lot of the out-of-state breweries. I'm very familiar with the local breweries," said Eric Reichenbach. He made a last minute trip all from California's Napa Valley to sample Vermont's beer.
A friend turned him on to Heady Topper years ago.
"And of course you can't get it outside Vermont so you got to come to Vermont to get it," Reichenbach said.
Earlier this year, Governor Peter Shumlin signed a bill allowing producers to ship beer within and outside of Vermont. The measure took effect earlier this month, though no brewery is taking advantage yet.
"We've won awards for the best beers in the world. It's a bright jobs opportunity for Vermont, and I want to help to continue to grow it," Shumlin said.
Even with all the beer on tap at the festival, the line for Lawson's Finest Liquids extended more than 100 yards throughout the day. Owner Sean Lawson says they can barely meet demand in a few counties, but could start shipping across the country next year.
Single bottles of the beer can sell for more than $50 on the black market.
"If people are going to pay that much money for one bottle of beer, we would really like to use it as a vehicle to raise money for a non-profit," Lawson said.
"If I can get Heady (Topper) shipped out to California, I'm 120% behind it," Reichenbach said.
If and when that happens, word of Vermont's award-winning brews will only spread faster.
