The Truth Needle | False: Dino Rossi's claim on Patty Murray's spending
U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi has claimed that Sen. Patty Murray has voted for every spending bill in Congress since 2004. But based on his campaign's own definition of a spending bill, that charge is false.
The claim: Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dino Rossi and his campaign have claimed in speeches, interviews and on his website that Sen. Patty Murray has voted for every spending bill in Congress since 2004.
What we found: The accusation is clearly intended to tar Murray as a profligate Democrat who's blithely running up the national debt.
Indeed, Rossi's campaign has tallied up a hefty tab: Murray voted for $700 billion for a bailout of financial firms and automakers, $787 billion for the economic-stimulus plan, $938 billion for the health-care overhaul, $34 billion to extend long-term unemployment benefits, $59 billion in supplemental funding for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq — and on and on.
Yet by the Rossi campaign's own loose definition of a "spending bill," his charge against Murray isn't true.
For instance, Rossi spokeswoman Jennifer Morris includes in her list of spending bills Murray's vote for the $3.5 trillion fiscal 2010 federal budget, which Morris said would triple the national debt in 10 years. That budget resolution passed both chambers of Congress without a single Republican vote.
But budget resolutions are largely partisan documents. Murray voted against four consecutive budgets starting in fiscal 2004, when Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the White House. Murray complained that those budgets cut taxes to the wealthy and were fiscally irresponsible.
What's more, the 2010 budget Murray backed would cut the federal deficit by 60 percent, or $824 billion, by 2014 from what it otherwise would have been, according to the nonpartisan Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington, D.C.
To be sure, Murray is a believer in the good of public spending.
Yet what takes much of the punch out of Rossi's criticism is that when it comes to the 12 annual spending, or appropriations, bills that fund the federal government, Murray is hardly alone in voting yea. Many appropriations bills pass by solid bipartisan majorities.
Even massive emergency-spending proposals sometimes get GOP backing.
That Wall Street bailout that paved the way for the federal government's partial ownership stakes in Goldman Sachs, General Motors and other troubled companies? It was proposed under President Bush and backed by 39 Democrats and 34 Republicans in the Senate — including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
Without context and details, yes or no votes on spending bills are "almost meaningless as an indicator" of a lawmaker's record, argues Thomas Mann, a congressional expert at the Brookings Institution, a public-policy think tank in Washington, D.C.
Mann noted that the current federal budget deficit was made worse by Bush's decision in 2003 to push for prescription-drug coverage for seniors — the biggest expansion of Medicare since its inception and not paid for. Murray voted against it.
What matters most, Mann said, is less a vote itself than its intent and effect.
Our verdict: Rossi's claim on its face is false. And as a yardstick for the discerning voter, it's unenlightening.

Alexandria Pierce wins Alpha
Chi national scholarship
Alexandria Pierce, Mankato, was among 26 members of Alpha Chi national college honor society to receive the society's national fellowships and scholarships. Scholarship stipends were awarded for full-time fall 2014 enrollment. Pierce was one of only two recipients nationally to earn the Edwin W. Gaston Scholarship ($2,500), awarded to students who are seniors in 2014-15.
For Pierce, a psychology major at Kansas Wesleyan University, the scholarship process included a reference letter be sent directly to the Alpha Chi scholarship committee by her academic advisor, Gerald Gilespie, KWU associate professor of psychology and addictions counseling and chair of the department of behavioral science and human services. With her application, she submitted a research paper from the previous semester.
The paper, "Personality Tendencies and Relationships," focused on how someone's psychological personality tendencies or disorders (e.g. depression, narcissism, self-esteem, and so on) could impact their ability to perform lasting and fulfilling intimate relationships with others.
Dr. Steve Hoekstra, KWU professor of psychology, explained, "The research she submitted for Alpha Chi (and Best of KWU) was her personal project from the research design course." Pierce published and presented this research at The Best of KWU during the spring 2014 semester, and she also presented her paper at the spring 2014 Alpha Chi national conference in St. Louis, Mo., where the national scholarship recipients were named.
Her presentation, which she made on the day before the scholarship announcement, was unrelated to its also being submitted with her scholarship application. She was unaware as she presented the paper that she had been chosen.
"When they announced my name, I was astonished. They selected two recipients out of about 60 applicants," Pierce said. "I also had to write a letter to the committee explaining my future educational and career plans."
She said her plans have shifted since then, but she does want to stay in the field of psychology and hopes to apply to graduate school. She has been looking at Vanderbilt University, the University of Kansas and the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her desire right now is to get into a doctoral program in clinical or social psychology, with a goal of being in private practice and teaching at a college or university.
Dr. Anita Sprecht, KWU associate professor of history, is the sponsor for Alpha Chi at Kansas Wesleyan University. She said the scholarship and national recognition for Pierce gives the department of psychology at a small school like Kansas Wesleyan "a nice pat on the back for fostering the kind of student research that gains national attention." Pierce serves as vice president of the Kansas Delta chapter of the Alpha Chi national honor society.
Kansas Wesleyan is a place where students can be involved in a variety of activities for a well-rounded and fun college experience. For Pierce, that means cheerleading. At every home game for the Coyotes this fall, she was a "flyer," or "the top" one of those strong, daring cheerleaders who is lifted high in the air and performs stunts, always with a smile. For her final semester at KWU in spring 2015, with her psychology major coursework completed, she can devote her attention to completing her English minor and a season of cheerleading competitions.
Alpha Chi inducts no more than the top 10 percent of juniors, seniors and graduate students on each campus, representing all academic disciplines.

Music from this release
- Savages: "Shut Up"
- Savages: "She Will"
Before their show in Seattle last month, London four-piece Savages posted a sign around the venue that laid out a couple of ground rules: no Instagramming, no video, no tweets-- in short, "SILENCE YOUR PHONES." This could be seen as a part of a growing trend of bands pointing out how sick they are of looking out into a sea of smartphones rather than human faces (the Yeah Yeah Yeahs posted a similar missive at their recent New York homecoming show), but it felt more like an extension of Savages' overall manifesto. And no, "manifesto" is not too dramatic a word; especially in contrast with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' sign, which tempered its message with chatty humor ("PUT THAT SHIT AWAY!...MUCH LOVE AND MANY THANKS!"), Savages' fiery imperative read like something hammered onto a door. "OUR GOAL IS TO DISCOVER BETTER WAYS OF LIVING AND EXPERIENCING MUSIC," they wrote (caps theirs). "WE BELIEVE THAT THE USE OF PHONES DURING A GIG PREVENTS ALL OF US FROM TOTALLY IMMERSING OURSELVES." Ironically, their ability to see the value of silence in a world of noise might make Savages the most web-savvy band of the year. People have been tweeting and tumbling about their live shows the way that people used to talk about live shows: something you just have to see for yourself.
If you've paid even the slightest attention to Savages in the year leading up to their debut Silence Yourself, you know that this is how they do things-- in fact, it's very likely you knew something about their philosophy before you heard a note of their music. Whether you find it profoundly refreshing or a little tedious that Savages draw lines in the sand, none of this would be worth mentioning if the music didn't live up to the force of the message. Silence Yourself proves that Savages are more than just talk. It's one of rock's most commanding and ferociously poised debuts in recent years, the work of a band whose outsized confidence and sharp clarity of vision doesn't correlate with the short amount of time it's been together.
Savages' music feels out of step with current trends-- which I'm sure they'd take as a compliment. With its tumbling, tom-heavy percussion, singer Jehnny Beth's Siouxsie-summoning battle cries, and the compositional emphasis placed on Ayse Hassan's bass (in the moments when Beth is silent, the bass feels like Savages' lead singer), post-punk is Silence Yourself's most obvious sonic reference point. And it doesn't matter that they missed the post-punk revival by about a decade. While the bands that dominated indie rock in the early aughts looked to Joy Division and Gang of Four for reasons that had mostly to do with rhythm, Savages' music finds kinship with post-punk's oppositional politics, thematic darkness, and anxiety about the dehumanizing effects of technology-- the spirit is the same, but it's been adjusted to reflect the times. Savages' distaste for experiencing life through a screen comes from the same place as, say, Wire's sardonic take on viewers whose idea of adventure was living vicariously through "the Lone Ranger"; after all, if "Ex Lion Tamer" were written today, it'd probably go, "Stay glued to your iPhone."
Which is not to say that Savages are writing scathing songs about shitty service providers; their lyrics are boldly stark, elemental, and timeless. (The titles alone hit with a blunt force: "She Will", "Hit Me", "No Face", "Shut Up.") Beth has said that the band's writing process is less about addition than subtraction, paring each song down to its most essential shape. All of the best songs on Silence Yourself derive their power from this kind of focused intensity, from the driving, dissonant "City's Full" to the creeping, percussive lurch of "I Am Here". The chorus of "Husbands", a phenomenal single first released last year, sharpens that focus down to a single word. "I woke up and saw the face of a guy/ I don't know who he is," Beth sings in the song's paranoia-inducing opening moments. A Savages song is about challenging the ideas, words and desires we consider "normal", and they've found that repetition is an effective way to get that point across. "Husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands, husbands," Beth chants in a manic whisper; with each intonation, the meaning erodes from a word that's ostensibly meant to evoke comfort, protection and familiarity until it feels faceless.
Savages really show promise and range on the slow-burners. The moody dirge "Waiting for a Sign" and goth-cabaret closer "Marshall Dear" aren't the most immediate songs on the record, but over repeated listens, they bloom. If Hassan and Faye Milton's punishing rhythm section takes the helm on the more frantic numbers, Savages' downtempo moments allow Gemma Thompson and her scuzzy Fender to shine. On the excellent "Strife," she holds back as often as she strikes, underscoring Beth's most brutal lines with perfectly timed jolts and filling the song's winding corriders with thick plumes of distortion.
The mix allows each band member's contribution to smolder with equal intensity and lends a palpable physicality to Savages' sound. Milton handles her toms and bass drum like a boxer going at a punching bag; Hassan's bass strings pulsate like a throbbing tendons; Thompson's guitar cuts with a goosebump-inducing tone that recalls a chainsaw, and Beth shrieks like she's resetting her own bones. Combining in a constant pendulum swing between tension and release, it all provides the perfect atmosphere for the darkly sensual themes that Silence Yourself explores.
As a lyricist, Beth says she's inspired by the "awkward places" from which "twisted, original desires" spring. "Hit Me", a sub-two-minute tornado of squalling noise, isn't about domestic abuse, as some people assume, but is instead about a consensual encounter described by the porn star Belladonna. (Beth: "I hate it when women are turned into victims.") Savages might make political pronouncements in interviews and on album covers, but their songs come from a lived-in perspective as Beth inhabits her different characters' states of mind-- and forces the listener to do the same.
"How old are you, really?" a voice asks in the opening seconds of the album; it hovers in the air without an answer. It might be a knowing sneer at critics who think Savages are just recycling post-punk's signature sound, but ostensibly it's also a salute to an artistic kindred spirit. The line is from Opening Night, a 1977 movie by John Cassavetes-- a filmmaker who also saw a kind of beauty in emotional brutality and was prone to spouting off humanist manifestos. "My films are expressive of a culture that has had the possibility of attaining material fulfillment while at the same time finding itself unable to accomplish the simple business of conducting human lives," he said. "What is needed is reassurance in human emotions; a re-evaluation of our emotional capacities." Substitute "films" for "songs" and those words could almost be lifted off the cover of Silence Yourself. The album cuts through a world of chatter and distraction because it practices what it preaches, transmitting its message directly through the primal, bone-rattling force of its songs.

Morning Report
The US Federal Reserve chair, Janet Yellen, has expressed optimism on the economy: ´´I am optimistic about the economy and that´s reflected in the forecasts that are included in the monetary policy report.´´ Further, she noted: ´´...I do think the economy is recovering and that growth is picking up and that we have sufficient growth to support continued improvement in the labour market.´´

As others have implied, the 3G data that your cell phone connects to is making use of radio signals being sent back and forth to cell phone towers. The reason that you can't use a 3G connection on your laptop is because there is no device built into your laptop that can communicate on these radio frequencies.
It is perfectly conceivable that a device could be built into a laptop or added on after. The technology is simple, many tablets that have no functionality for making phone calls can come with a chip that will allow them to connect to 3G networks for data. The reason this hasn't been done so far in laptops is because there hasn't been a demand for it. Most laptops are not used when out and around the city, as compared to the frequency and broad number of places that a tablet may be pulled out. And when there is a demand, there are simple USB devices that will provide this function, and that purchase has filled the demand adequately so far.

Although exact details surrounding the situation are not known at this time, there are indications that the Taiwanese flagged fishing vessel Tai Juan 227 has been released from pirate control. The vessel, which had a crew of 28 (Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, Kenyans and Mozambicans) at the time of the attack, was pirated on 6 May 2010 whilst operating 700 Nm North East of The Seychelles. Although direct contact with the crew has not been possible, the vessel's owners apparently received a call from the master stating that they had been released but that they did not know why. The crew were provided with fresh food and water by a US warship after the release. The vessel is currently heading away from Somalia. There is confusion surrounding the details of the release as, until 3 days ago, the FV Tai Yuan 227 was suspected as being used as a pirate mothership.

Historian invites former students to dinner as part of 'retirement odyssey'tags: teaching, historians, Jon Marcus, Silvio Lacetti, Stevens Institute of Technology, Times Higher Education
Silvio Laccetti was cleaning out his office after 43 years of teaching at the Stevens Institute of Technology, a science and technology school in Hoboken, New Jersey, when he stumbled across a pile of unreturned reports, assignments and examinations from some of the thousands of students he had taught over the years.
It gave him an idea: invite some of his best former students for dinner. Not all at once, however: one at a time.
What Dr Laccetti, who taught history, called his "retirement odyssey" involved 83 dinners and lunches consumed over three and a half years with 104 of his one-time students, mostly individually but a few in small groups.
He spoke by phone with another dozen who lived too far away to meet in person.
The odyssey gave him an opportunity academics seldom get: to measure his impact on the world.
"They had listened to my advice," Dr Laccetti, 72, said. "They maintained an interest in the humanities. They even talked about me to their kids, and taught their children some of the things that I taught them."...

Man, this whole Taylor Swift Hall of Fame exhibit seems like such a stretch. But I'm glad to see it's in the no man's land behind the glass in the archives instead of taking up valuable floor space. I can't see the harm of doing more exhibits in that archive area. When there's only one or two displays back there they look like such an afterthought. You fill it up and it will attract a lot more people.
With all due respect to the charming and knowledgeable Geo Hamilton IV, the origins of Fan Fair go back farther than England in the late 1960s. Lurking behind it were the Nashville industry's active participation in the huge Jimmie Rodgers Festivals in Meridian in the 50s which pointed to having a similar (and more controlled) event of their own in Nashville, the efforts of the fan clubs of the fifties and early sixties to have a real role at the Nashville DJ conventions, from which they came to be excluded, the birth of the CMA< and the CMA realization that there ought to b SOMEWHERE to make the most of all of that pent-up fan interest and energy. They may then have adopted some ideas that were used in in the UK, but, with that background, they decided to begin the event without any international help!
Man, this whole Taylor Swift Hall of Fame exhibit seems like such a stretch.
Because she's not famous?
No, it's because that exact space has never, ever been used to exhibit
sparkly outfitsflying balconies before, and the break with tradition is a big deal.
Barry, I'm glad you provided that additional information about the origins of Fan Fair. Pegging it to an event held in London just didn't make a whole lot of sense.
So the CMT Awards show is tonight huh? I can't wait to read the various live blogs well after the fact! (lol) The blog here will be the first in line though.
The Band Perry is working with Rick Rubin huh? That fills me with a couple of emotions, ie fear and trepidation! (lol) I'm just thankful it's NOT Jack White, T. Bonehead Burnette, or Brett Beavers! It would be nice if they gave Keith Stegall a go instead.
Thanks for the link to the Sunny Sweeney interview. Her label hasn't released a radio single since "Drink Myself Single" stalled out high on the charts months ago. I think any brownie points Sunny scored at AirHead Country Radio with "From A Table Away" have been forgotten by now. Oh well.
Tonight's Music City Roots features The Holy Ghost Tent Revival (I like the name at least), Goose Creek Symphony, Kellin Watson, and Now You See Them. I must say there is no shortage of strange band names in the Americana realm these days…

Inslee bemoans corporate incentive competitions
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee wishes states weren't in constant competition to provide financial incentives in order secure jobs from big companies.
Associated Press
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee wishes states weren't in constant competition to provide financial incentives in order secure jobs from big companies.
Inslee said Thursday he would like to see a national agreement among states to make that sort of subsidy escalation illegal. That comes after Washington approved perhaps the largest corporate tax break in U.S. history -- valued at nearly $9 billion -- in order to convince Boeing Co. to build a new airplane in the state.
Boeing recently explored bids from 22 states who wanted to secure the thousands of jobs that would come with production of the 777X. The company has promised to build the plane in the Puget Sound region after getting extended tax breaks from state lawmakers and concessions from union workers.

Riverside, CA (Sports Network) - Kyle Odister led the way with 14 points as the Cal Poly Mustangs downed the UC Riverside Highlanders, 58-48, at SRC Arena, in the Big West Conference opener for both teams.
For the Mustangs (5-6, 1-0 Big West), Reese Morgan pulled down eight rebounds.
Chris Harriel led the Highlanders.(3-10, 0-1) with 14 points while Chris Patton chipped in with 12 points.
UC Riverside shot 45.8 percent from the field to start the contest, but made only 1-of-6 from beyond the 3-point arc. Cal Poly struggled even more with its shooting, hitting just 36.0 percent from the field and 3-of-10 from 3-point range, as the Highlanders took a 29-23 lead into halftime.
After the break, both squads had trouble finding the basket. The Mustangs managed to make just 33.3 percent of their field goal attempts, but were able to hold the Highlanders to only 30.8 percent from the field in the second half. The Mustangs did have a 13-1 advantage at the free-throw line after halftime. Up just three, 51-48, with under five minutes to play, Cal Poly scored the final seven points of the contest to secure the victory.
The Mustangs had the edge on the boards, outrebounding the Highlanders 38-30. UC Riverside dominated the paint, outscoring Cal Poly 30-8.

BEIJING (Reuters) - China will boost gun training for police in its capital Beijing, a senior security official said, as it braces for what it calls an upsurge in militant violence around the country.
The vice minister of public security and head of Beijing's Public Security Bureau, Fu Zhenghua, urged officers to increase security in the city as he visited police stations and SWAT checkpoints along Beijing's main thoroughfare, Chang'an Avenue, on Saturday.
Police must be ready to "deal a deadly blow to enemies at the critical time", the official Xinhua news agency cited Fu as saying in a report on Sunday.
Chinese police do not always carry firearms, but top leaders have warned that security threats are mounting.
Police in Beijing have already stepped up armed patrols after five people were killed and 40 hurt when a car ploughed into a crowd and burst into flames near Tiananmen Square last October. The dead included three people in the car identified by authorities as Islamists from the western region of Xinjiang.
Xinjiang is the home of Muslim Uighurs who speak a Turkic language. China has blamed previous attacks on Islamists it says seek to establish an independent state there called East Turkestan.
Around 200 people have died in attacks blamed on Xinjiang militants in China in the last year or so, and the authorities have launched a campaign to stop the unrest, detaining hundreds and executing many others.
China will host an APEC summit on the outskirts of Beijing in November. This will draw heads of state and government from around the Asia Pacific region in one of the highest profile events to be held there since the 2008 Olympic Games.

Robert Downey Jr. Isn't Welcome in Japan
By PopEater Staff Posted Dec 17th 2009 02:41PM
Robert Downey Jr.'s days of drugs and frequent arrests are behind him, it turns out Japan isn't too forgiving of those old felony convictions, Huffington Post reports.
Downey told David Letterman about his troubles at a Japanese airport last year, where he was detained and interrogated while promoting 'Iron Man.' "I think it has something to do with my fairly distant past," he said. "Not recent stuff like you or Tiger." Watch the video below.
"I probably should have seen there was a sign that said 'No Felons Allowed' in English and Japanese, and I haven't had that expunged yet," he said. "You can actually get things expunged but I've been pretty busy. So I was detained. I was interrogated. It was a blast."
"Haven't you settled up?" Letterman asked him. "Haven't you paid your debts?"
"Clearly I haven't paid my debts to Japan," Downey joked.

Vieques Island Beach Vacation Rentals Vacation Rentals(98)

Recent Vieques Island Reviews
Beautiful island home in a land that time forgot
We had an amazing stay in a fantastic home. The nearby beaches are second to none Clean, clear water and white sand, dotted with coconut trees leave no doubt that you are in paradise. Everyone is friendly on the island. Horses wander freely about, grazing on the grasses. The pool is fresh and inviting, no need to leave the grounds. We had an amazing vacation and will be coming back.
Absolutely Perfect!!!!
My wife and I have traveled all over the Caribbean and also to the Hawaiian Islands looking for the perfect place as a family beach vacation destination. We have struck gold with the Vieques Beach House! This home delivers so much more than what is advertised. It was exceptionally clean and well maintained. And also fully stocked with swimming, snorkeling, and beach equipment. We took an entire day to travel around the island looking for other rental areas to compare and this one is the absolute best!! It's location beats all. Far enough outside of town to be quiet but close enough for convenience. Ron, the on island manager, was so nice! He shuttled us to and from the airport and helped us rent our jeep. He also drove us around the town of Isabel pointing out the best places to eat and shop. Once we arrived at the house he even took some time to review a fold out map of the island, pointing out the best beaches to visit and sights to see. If you are looking for an overpriced spa treatment vacation made up of massages, facials, and room service, don't come to Vieques. Come here if you want a relaxing adventure away from the rat race we live and work in. If you want the perfect family vacation filled with snorkeling, spear fishing, beach lounging, and seclusion look no further. We will definitely be back again!!!
Simply Awesome
This place is simply awesome. The house sits right on the water overlooking the harbor. The view is amazing at sunset! The patio and pool are great for relaxing and soaking up the beauty of the island. The house is really interesting and seems much bigger because of its open design. My wife and I loved this place and the privacy that it provided. The small dipping pool was a huge plus! We loved having our own private pool, and the pool area is really set up perfectly for just hanging out and relaxing. Again the view is amazing! A huge plus about this place is that it is so close to the local fish market. We bought fish and lobster while we were there, and were able to use the grill that was provided at the house. The grill area is really neat as well with outdoor furniture so you can hang out while grilling. The kitchen and living room are beautiful, comfortable, and have glass doors that look out over the bay. This area quickly felt like home to us, and we enjoyed spending time in this part of the house. When we wanted to beat the heat we came to this area and closed the windows and turned on the AC. It worked great and cooled off quickly. The TV also worked great, and it was nice to watch a little football in the AC. The room is also great because you can open all the windows, and the fans really make it comfortable when it's not too hot outside. Everything in the house was great. The house was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the sheets and towels were nice and clean. The house was very comfortable and very clean. The kitchen was well furnished with everything we needed for cooking dinner. Also there was a coffee maker, and the local coffee I bought was really great. The house is in walking distance to restaurants and several convenient stores. We actually stayed during the slow season so there were several restaurants that were not open, but we never had trouble finding a place to eat. We rented a Jeep for a few days to explore the island. Definitely do this if you can. There are so many awesome secluded beaches to check out! Also it is a short drive to Esperanza, which is a town on the other side of the island. There you will find more restaurants because it is the touristy part of the island. This island is very unique and very beautiful. We recommend checking out Vieques and also staying at Seaside. It was an unforgettable and awesome experience.

American Technology Corporation (ATC) (NASDAQ: ATCO), a provider of directed sound products and technologies, has received two new LRAD orders totaling $2.7m from the U.S. Navy. The orders were received late last quarter (fiscal Q1) and are scheduled to ship in fiscal Q2.
The first order, totaling $2.3m, includes LRAD 500X systems for deployed security forces and enhanced LRAD 500 systems for force protection and anti-terrorist applications.
LRAD 500X is the only acoustic hailing device (AHD) that meets the U.S. Navy's intelligible voice transmission, size, power, and weight requirements. This is the third major order secured through maritime security representative, Anchor Innovation.
"Recently, the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army conducted extensive operational testing of the LRAD 500X," said Tom Brown, president and CEO of ATC. "The testing was conducted in an extremely harsh waterside environment. Despite crosswinds and headwinds at speeds of 20 knots sustained, gusting to 35 knots, the LRAD 500X exceeded expectations. The successful testing, along with the positive experience of the Navy with previously deployed LRAD systems, paved the way for this."
The second order, totaling approximately $400,000, is the fifth delivery of LRAD 1000X systems under the Shipboard Protection System, Block 0 contract awarded to ATC by the U.S. Navy in October 2007. Under the contract, ATC is supplying LRAD 1000X systems to the 270 ships that comprise the Navy's large vessel fleet. LRAD 1000X is the only AHD that meets the Navy's voice intelligibility and range requirements for large vessel anti-terrorism applications and force protection.
ATC developed its proprietary LRAD product line to assist military and security forces in determining the intent of potential threats at safe distances, providing authorized personnel time and distance to scale their response based on a threat's actions. LRAD is effective using directionality and focused acoustic output to clearly transmit critical information, instructions and warnings at distances in excess of 1000 meters. LRAD can be manually operated or integrated into a remotely controlled security network's command and control center. Through the use of voice commands and deterrent tones, LRAD can create large safety zones, resolve uncertain situations, and potentially save lives on both sides of the device.
"We're off to a strong start in the first half of fiscal year 2009 with over $5.5 million in new orders received in our first quarter, of which approximately $2.5 million were shipped, with the balance scheduled to ship in our second quarter," Brown added. "We're on course to surpass fiscal 2008 revenues as we expect to receive, announce and ship further directed sound orders this quarter."

PSG's Yohan Cabaye will 'absolutely' return to the Premier League in January, says former Newcastle United star
He still has not fulfilled the potential! West Ham's Ravel Morrison running out of time to impress at Cardiff City, admits boss Russell Slade
Published: 05 June 2013
Desperate times call for desperate measures. That is the only way to interpret Trinity Mirror's decision to create a unique subsidiary composed of newspaper titles whose only similarity is that they happen to be published on a Sunday.
The company's chief executive, Simon Fox, is combining the ailing Sunday People with four declining regional Sundays that serve four cities — Glasgow, Cardiff, Birmingham and Newcastle — under a division called Sunday Brands.
He has engaged two people — the former ITV commercial chief, Rupert Howell, and the former Sunday Express editor, Sue Douglas — to be, respectively, chairman and publishing director
This is a breathtaking move, which can be read either as a brilliantly counter-intuitive business response by a chief executive unhindered by a newspaper track record, or as a naive act that betrays his grievous inexperience in publishing.
Consider Fox's headache. The Sunday newspaper market has fallen out of the sky in the past decade. From the Fifties onwards until well into this century, more people bought and read Sunday newspapers than they did dailies.
Now, according to the latest circulation statistics for national titles, an average of 7.5 million copies of the Sunday titles were sold in April, against 8 million dailies. That doesn't tell the full story, however, because the dailies' greatest sales by far occur on a Saturday. As far as newspaper sales are concerned, Saturday has become the new Sunday. People like the bumper Saturday issues and therefore so do advertisers, who throw money at them to buy space. At the same time, advertising interest has withdrawn from Sunday titles.
A change in reading habits is embedded to a great extent in lifestyle changes among the population, notably the use of Sunday for leisure activities outside the home. The advent of Sunday football has also made a difference.
Every sector of the Sunday print market has been affected, and none more so than the regionals. Trinity Mirror's four metropolitan Sundays recorded sales falls in the second half of last year, compared with the same period in 2011, of between 18% and 32%.
As for the London-based national title, the Sunday People saw its sales plunge with the arrival of the Sun on Sunday, though its losses are probably running at not much more than 8% a year. Its problem, as it has been ever since it was bought by the Mirror Group in the Sixties, is running in competition with the better loved Sunday Mirror.
It is also abundantly clear from studies of website traffic that far fewer people read papers online on Sundays — and anyway, no Sunday paper has a dedicated website; they are yoked together with their daily counterparts.
So Fox has clearly decided to take a risk. He may well feel he has nothing to lose by giving them to two people who want to prove they have a secret formula to revive the Sunday press.
This is the positive spin for Sunday Brands. My own instinct, based on 49 years in the trade, is that it isn't so much a commercial strategy as a forlorn acceptance that doing something, anything, is better than doing nothing at all.
