Less Than 2 Years Employment History?
We offer both conventional and unconventional mortgage loan programs. Most lenders require 2 years employment. However, one of our niche programs requires only one year of employment for both self-employed and salary employees. We also have another that does require 2 years employment history. However, if within the last 2 years you were in college and your degree pertains to your current job, that time in college can qualify as part of the "2 year job history". We are always researching new loan programs to share with you.
Buying a home? Things you should know
Are you done paying rent and having nothing to show for it? Home ownership provides several benefits. In addition to the satisfied feeling of being a home-owner, you're more than likely to be eligible for tax deductions. You're no longer making your landlord rich and most importantly, you start building equity.
Once you decide that you want to buy a home, write out all of the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a house. Consider the following: How long do you plan on living there? Does is make good financial sense? Once you find out how much of a mortgage loan you qualify for, is a loan of that size going to be enough to satisfy everything you want in your new home? Do you plan on having kids within the time period in which you believe you're going to own this home? Research the neighborhood and schools; are the schools good enough?
Consider the maintenance of owning a home. It seems there is always some sort of maintenance that needs to be done so make sure you have the extra money to make the necessary repairs and so forth to ensure your investment will appreciate in market value.
Before your home search starts, make sure to get pre-approved by a mortgage consultant that you trust as this will more than likely be the biggest investment you will ever make. This will save you time looking at houses that you do not qualify for. Ask lots of questions and check references and check a few different lenders or brokers before you submit an application. You want a loan officer that will help you qualify for the best possible loan for your needs. For example, if you don't have enough liquid reserves, your loan officer can tell you how much you need in your bank account or wherever your money is; retirement, stock market, mutual fund accounts, etc and whether that money needs to be seasoned or not, and if so, for how long and whether "gift funds" are acceptable.
It is a good idea to check your credit. If there are negative items, consider credit repair. Your credit score, more times than not, will determine your interest rate as well as any kind of niche loan programs you may qualify for. Often, these negative items on your credit report can easily be removed.

Unconventional Loans – Small Business Loan
Here's a great example of what a Small Business Loan is for:
A Heating and Air-conditioning company out of Greenacres Florida needed operating capital to pay off some bills including their vendor's as well as some tools for the new truck they just bought for an additional crew.
My clients have a wholesale direct account with their vendors for material and supplies, but because they're maxed out with over-due balances, they're unable to get the wholesale price supplies they need for a job that they already have on the books.
Plus they're missing out on new business because they currently aren't in a position to competitively bid jobs because without available credit with their primary vendors, they can't get the reduced cost that they need to be competitive.
Their $15,000 loan will fund tomorrow. Starting next week: 1. They will have new tools to get their additional crew working. 2. They will be able to start their new job. 3. They will have their vendor wholesale account relationship back in order putting them in a position to get aggressive on 10 bids they've done these last 2 weeks that they didn't get.
Why Should I Work With a Mortgage Broker
There are many reasons you should work with a mortgage broker. A mortgage broker has many different resources to make sure you get the mortgage best deal. A mortgage broker has many different kinds of relationships with a variety of reputable real estate professionals that will be made available to you to make sure you have everybody you need to ensure a smooth home buying experience; real estate agent, escrow company, appraiser and home inspector with a good reputation within your local community.
A mortgage broker has personal relationships with many different kinds of lending institutions and their underwriter's to ensure that you get the right loan program that will best suit you and your specific needs. Your local bank representative only has their own internal mortgage loan programs to offer. As a result, you're leaving opportunity on the table, because a bank only has a limited selection of loan programs and their primary concern is putting you into a loan product that they have to offer. When working with a mortgage broker, you get a variety of options and options are good, especially when you're in the process of making the most important purchase of your life; don't restrict yourself to what the bank wants. A mortgage broker not only will get you the best rate, but also provide a far better chance of securing the right approval, regardless of your credit.
Here in California, as well as the rest of the country, a mortgage broker Loan Officer is a licensed professional that is required to maintain continuing education courses throughout their careers, unlike your bank representative. Therefore, the bank representative might not be aware of today's real estate and mortgage financing regulations. What does that mean to you? It means that the mortgage professional that you're working with knows what he or she is doing and is in good standing with in the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System.
Unconventional Loans – Working Capital Loan California
Hello small to medium size business owner.
This is a recent example of a small business loan we did here in California.
A dentist in San Jose had recently invested over $200,000 in a second location that was to be ran by his brother and fellow dentist and was in need of some working capital. The facility was up and functional but it wasn't doing any business yet and needed to be advertised. We qualified him on the cash-flow of his existing practice. His gross annual income was $1,522,347. We were able to lend him $142,342 which is 9.35% of his income keeping him in a healthy cash-flow position to help him jump start his second location. His business expansion is doing very well and he was kind enough to give me a free root canal. True story.
Please let us know how we can help you expand your business. All you need to submit with your application is your most recent 6 months bank statements and previous tax return. If you haven't filed your 2012 taxes yet, no problem, just send in 2011 tax return with your 2012 extension form and we'll have your approval in 24-48 hours. From that point were just 3-5 business days to funding and the funding conditions are very minimal.
Thank you.

Unconventional Loans – Micro Business Loan
Our most popular business loan program is the Micro Business Loan; unsecured, short-term financing. This unconventional business loan features a fixed term with a fixed payment with loan amounts between $10,000 to $200,000.
It is called a micro business loan for 2 reasons. – It is short-term financing, ranging between 4-18 months, sometimes up to 24 months and the second reason is because of the payment structure. The payments are spread out into daily micro payments, Monday through Friday, no weekends or holidays or 22 business days (on average) a month.
This loan product is designed to be a low-impact loan and represents about 85% of the business loans that we do.
The qualifying process is very simple and straight forward. The loan amount and the payment can't exceed between 8-9% of your cash-flow keeping the small to medium size business in a positive cash-flow position.
Our goal, simply stated, is to lend the capital your business needs to help grow the business and at the same time keep your business in a healthy cash-flow position so you can maintain the daily operations while easily paying back the loan while you utilize the capital in any way you see fit. The loan is designed to mirror your cash-flow in that you'll retain no less than about 91-92% of your income or cash-flow not including the payment. 8-9% of your daily revenue goes to the payment and 91-92% goes toward daily operations so you can maintain the business through out the term of the loan.
Our Business Loan affiliate is located in San Diego California and has been in business for over 6 years and has maintained an A rating with the Better Business Bureau.

Unconventional Business Loan
Hello to all the small to medium size businesses across the country. We now have a true business loan product for companies that do a minimum of $100,000 to 5 million a year.
What this lender does is specialize in short-term, unsecured financing. This loan is designed for you to invest it into your business; expansion, inventory, equipment, anything that will increase your capacity to do more business.
The loan amount that you would qualify for is predicated on your gross annual sales amount and the length of time you've been in business. -these 2 factors are the most important in qualifying for this unconventional loan to a maximum loan amount of $250,000.
The banks and conventional loans out there are very difficult to qualify for. For small to medium size businesses, there is currently a 93% denial rate. We just recently worked with a health care facility that needed an extra $100,000 in order to become certified with the state of Florida to where they would be able to accept payment from private insurance companies. He applied with Chase and was declined. Even though he had $200,000 in his bank account, they still declined his application.
This loan program is designed to be a low-impact loan in that it will never consume more than between 8% to 9% of your total revenue because we understand that you must maintain a positive cash-flow position.
Another great feature, this loan program is a renewable source of capital, so your second time around, you can obtain more capital at a lower cost because at that point, you have already established a relationship with the lender and therefor you're considered a low risk borrower, hence the lower cost.
Because this is a true business loan program, it will not appear on your credit. What that means to you is that it won't affect you credit score, debt to income ratio and the interest performs like simple interest; far better than credit card debt.
So if you'd like some additional capital for you to use for any purpose, give us a call.

Calculating the commission of a broker – Different ways to do so
The commission of broker entirely depends upon the type of broker you may choose. The commission of a stock broker is different from that of a real estate, mortgage broker or an insurance agent. You need to know that the commissions are usually based on a particular dollar amount whether it is the total price of buying stocks, the commission of a real estate broker depending upon the sale price of a property or a loan amount for a mortgage. You may take the help of a loan mortgage calculator if you find it difficult to calculate your mortgage payments on a home loan.
5 Ways to calculate the commission of a broker
Have a look at the 5 ways to calculate the commission of a broker.
1. Compute a percentage estimated to you – You may compute a percentage estimated to you of 5 percent as a commission from a mortgage broker to sell off your valuable home at the cost of $300,000. The calculation that needs to be done is 5 percent has to be multiplied by $300,000 which is equal to $15,000 as commission. In order to find out whether or not you have done the calculation correctly, take $15,000 and divide it by 300,000. Your answer will be 0.05 percent.
2. Make calculation for a commission of 3 percent – You need to make calculation for a commission of 4 percent for buying $28,000 which is the value of stock from a stock broker. The calculation should be 0.04 percent has to be multiplied by $28,000. This is equal to $1120. To check out whether or not you have made the calculation properly, take $1120 and divide it by $28,000 and your answer will be 0.04 percent.
3. Work out a fee of $2,000 charged by broker – You need to work out a fee of $2,000 that has been charged from you by a new mortgage broker who would take out a new mortgage refinance loan for $400,000 which is your home's cost. The calculation that you will have to do is $2,000 has to be divided by $400,000 which is equal to 0.005 percent as commission. Take 0.005 and multiply it by the loan amount $400,000 in order to check out your math. Your answer has to be $2000.
4. Analyze a flat charge of $90 – If you are buying an auto insurance policy, the insurance broker may ask for a flat charge of $90 as a form of commission to put you into a car insurance program. Your yearly premium for the insurance is $3,600. The calculation will be $90.00 has to be divided by $3,600 which is equal to 0.025 percent. Now, multiply 0.025 by $3,600 and your answer will be $90 as the brokers commission. This way, you will be able to check the math calculation that you have made.
5. Change commission percentage into dollar – In order to change the commission percentage into a dollar amount, you will have to multiply the percentage by the dollar amount of the loan. You may also divide the dollar amount of the commission into the dollar amount of the loan in order to convert a dollar amount into a percentage.
Thus, by following the above ways, you will be able to calculate the commission of a broker easily.
A Simplified Guide to FHA 203-k Rehab Financing
This loan program is for folks that would like to buy a home that needs repairs but do not want or cannot use their own funds to do the repairs after they buy. Our government wants to help you. In todays economy, there are more than ever many homes in this foreclosure market that need an owner and repair. Post foreclosure homes are often gutted out by the previous owners. They're taking everything including the things that are bolted down; plumbling, electrical equipment and so fourth. These neighborhoods need home buyers to freshen up these neighborhoods. The FHA mortgage program allows the cost of the rehabilitation of a property to be included in the total mortgage amount. All repairs are made to the property after closing, no work prior to taking ownership. The key is the qualifying Loan To Value ratio is based on the anticipated value after the work is to be completed. Therefore, an "as is" purchase is possible, regardless of the condition of the home. In addition, 100% of the after improved value will be considered when determining the maximum loan amount.
Typically, lenders will not close on a loan until the home is in move in condition. A closing cannot take place until those repairs are completed. The 203-k plan allows for a closing to occur before the repairs or an addition is finished and the home is habitable.
This is the reason why many homes do not sell; all other financing programs will not allow the collateral to remain in poor condition while lending tens of thousands of dollars over the present value. At closing, the seller is paid the contracted amount. The realtor's commission is also paid at that time and monies pre-determined for repairs is placed into an escrow account and paid out as the work is completed.
The ability to close "as is" opens the door for more homes to be sold and neighborhoods revitalized.
This program will help home buyers get into a home that needs work without having to pay for the cost of repairs with their own money.
You can see the 203-k guidelines here and here is a pre qualification form that does not require a social security number.

The Bee Gees Living Eyes Lyrics
Last updated: 09/03/2013 07:41:40 AM
Would you believe me if I told you your tomorrow is my yesterday
But be alive
I know that we will
The world keeps on moving but I'm holdin' still
In the beginning I was far away and praying for my destiny
That would arrive
The moment you're born
For we will be here when the miracle comes
Living Eyes,when under the sun don't cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall
The day I deny the face of my love
We are of age, we are in time
We are forever
Right now when the power is mine
I leave you heaven and the earth
I leave you never
And living to love is the reason we shine
When I been over I been under
I don't own a dream to analyze
But living eyes you know that I do
believe in the soul and the magic of you
Living eyes, when under the sun don't cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living eyes, when out in the rain will fall
The day I deny the face of my love
We are of age,we are in time
We are forever
Right now when the power is mine
I leave you heaven and the earth
I leave you never
And living to love is the reason we shine
Living eyes
When under the sun don't cry
No war in my mind
The state of my heart
Living (repeat and fade)
Fade out lyrics | Reviewer: Paul | 9/3/13
This is one of my favorite Bee Gees songs. What has been driving me nuts is as the song begins to fade out, Barry is singing in the backgro9und and I can't make out the words! HELP!!
:overlooked, but one of their best.. | Reviewer: Paul | 1/26/10
This album "Living eyes" came out in the Fall of 1981 in the period after the disco backlash had taken place. The Bee Gees had had 4 successful albums in a row including "Saturday Night Fever" and "Spirits Having Flown"-- they had been the biggest act on the planet in the 1977-1979 period with 6 consecutive #1 singles. Unfortantely the backlash against disco was focused on them and when this very different album came out in 1981 very few radio stations wanted to play it. This is a shame for it contains some great melodic songs such as:"Living Eyes, "Paradise" and
:"Don't Fall in love with me". The lyrics are possibly the best and deepest that they ever wrote, especially on the title track: "Living Eyes".The album was more in the "adult contemporary" vein. It is a shame that more people other than hard-core Bee Gees fans didn't come to appreciate it. A true loss for the music world, but a real treasure.
Better late than never to open my "living eyes" and ears | Reviewer: email@example.com | 6/23/08
I was in high school during the outbreak of "Saturday Night Fever" and loved the sound of the Bee Gees probably more than their average fan and there were plenty of Bee Gees fans in 1978. But by 1980 the sometimes mean-spirited backlash against disco (I never really understood why the public turned on disco with the "disco sucks" chants being heard at every pep rally at my high school) was at full steam and this album went unnoticed by me and apparently alot of other people. It was very "uncool" to like the Bee Gees at that time so I hadn't heard any of the songs on this album until recently. I read the reviews and listened to the 30 second clips on itunes and was intrigued by what I read and heard. After downloading the entire album the first thing that ran through my mind was "how in the world did none of these songs get airplay?" I guess that shows just how strong the anti-disco movement was. The title track "Living Eyes" gave me chills (and still does to some degree) when I heard it the first time. Wildflower is one of those songs that gets better every time you hear it. Paradise is also top-notch. The weakest song is ironically the only song to crack the top 40 in the U.S. I listened to it once and that was enough. That one bad apple shouldn't discourage anyone from taking a tasty bite of this quality collection of songs from one of the greatest bands of all time.

History and stories seep from the town where I live. The century old buildings and nearby lands whisper tales of the Battle of San Jacinto, the prisoner of war camp, the losses from the Great Storm of 1900 and of a horrific train explosion near the center of town. One the first free towns in the South was established by the Barrett family after the Civil War and in nearby Dayton it is said that descendants of the crew for the pirate Lafitte still live along the bayous and sloughs leading in from the Gulf where his stash of gold is rumored to be buried. There is a lake not far from here about which old men share stories told to them by their grandfathers. They swear that there was a time you could paddle to the middle of that lake and see the tip of a mast of a great sailing ship just beneath the brackish water's surface, but now just silt and fodder for yarns and legends. The story I'm going to tell takes place just a few miles from my house and curiously enough, you've probably heard it before, but this account is not the Hollywood version, but the real story.
A slow-moving muddy river borders the land to the east and was owned by one man during the 1800's, a wealthy plantation owner. After the Civil War, he deeded tracts of land to freed slaves for a homestead which they christened Black Hope. For a time the community thrived as homes, a school, a church and cemetery were built, but growing industry in the area and better wages drew the younger people away, that, coupled with a devastating fire, caused the community to decline. Although the last headstone in the cemetery reads a death in 1939, by this time Black Hope is nothing but a pathway to an old burial-place. More time passes, the remaining buildings decay and fall, and the Black Hope Cemetery is swallowed by the woods and darkness.
It is the late 1970′s – home building has taken off and a beautiful, well-planned subdivision is filling up with new young families who marvel at the modern architecture, exquisite landscaping and other popular amenities. The developers of this new subdivision made use of cul-de-sacs and short u-shaped streets to enhance the community feel of the neighborhood. The area is surrounded by dense pine and oak hardwoods on all sides, broken only by narrow ancient dirt trails leading down to the river. At the far end of the subdivision at the edge of the woods, is a quiet street with a whimsical name ready for families migrating from the crowded inner city.
At first it was small things that the family noticed, toilets that flushed by themselves, electrical problems, and as the yard settled, sunken spots appeared in various places. Also strange was that many of the trees in and near their yard had odd markings, obviously not natural, but more curious than concerning, probably the work of bored teenagers while the homes were being built. They brushed off the strange happenings as plumbing and electrical problems, filled in the depressions in their yard and set about making the house their own. Summer in this part of the country is long and hot so backyard pools are popular and the family joined many of their neighbors in this trend. Articles from that time tell how the family received a visit from an older gentleman who said that he noticed that they were about to start construction in their backyard and he wanted to let them know that their home was sitting directly on top of the Black Hope Cemetery. Curious, the family took him into the backyard and he was able to point out that the two sunken spots were actually graves. Apparently this man had family buried at Black Hope or was somehow involved with the cemetery around the time the last burial took place. The depressions were excavated and the final resting places of a husband and his wife were discovered, much to the horror of the living residents.
Building on burial grounds seems to be a running theme for many haunted places, but this wasn't a ghost story, there were open graves in a backyard and there had to be others. After researching land records, talking to local descendants of Black Hope residents, exploration of surrounding acreage began and other headstones from the Black Hope Cemetery were found in the woods near the house and further expansion of the new subdivision in that area was halted. The homeowners remained for a time after the discovery, but eventually abandoned their home, unable to reconcile their love of the house with the circumstances of it location, as well as the two bodies that were reinterred in their backyard. Other homes in the area reported some of the same experiences, as well as hearing disembodied voices and feelings of being watched, but no more graves were found and some homeowners reject the claims of haunting saying they have never seen or heard anything out of the ordinary. There are also many stories of a curse that wrecked havoc in the lives of everyone who lived in the house, but I cannot speak as to the truth of those claims.
A few of the homeowners did eventually sue the developer of the land for financial loss and mental anguish, asserting that during the land clearing, contractors discovered the graves, removed the headstones and continued home-building thereby desecrating the burial places of the dead. The court was unable to determine fault, due to the possibility the graves were unmarked and the case was eventually dismissed. New families filled the houses, but I've heard there is a large turnover in owners and there is still the occasional "ghost hunter" and curious sightseers wanting to have a look.
The Black Hope Horror: The True Story of a Haunting by John Bruce Shoemaker was written in 1993 and there was also a movie called Grave Secrets based on these events. Of course, there's also a blockbuster movie called Poltergeist, though allegedly not based on this family's story, runs along similar lines.
Is there a Black Hope curse? Did the homebuilders know about the graves yet desecrated them anyway? I don't know. What I do know is that those that rest at Black Hope were a group of extraordinary people, no longer encumbered by the immorality of slavery, they rose up and claimed life as free men and women. They built a community, raised families, worshipped God, and when they lay down one last time, were buried on land made sacred by the lives they lived. That is the real story, the one that should be immortalized and shared, the living human triumph known as Black Hope.

Book Description:
The Internal Revenue Code focuses on four primary groups of taxpayers--individuals, corporations, estates, and trusts. Individuals, however, may be in any number of special categories, such as corporate executives, professional persons, farmers, salespersons, U.S. citizens abroad, day-care center operators, and students. Unfortunately, provisions affecting these special categories of individual taxpayers are scattered throughout the Code. CCH's Tax Angles for Special Taxpayers pulls together these complex and scattered provisions affecting taxpayers in a number of classifications. Sound guidance is presented to help advisors maximize tax-savings opportunities for clients and avoid tax traps and pitfalls. This comprehensive volume provides numerous examples, planning notes, compliance tips and cautions to help illustrate key concepts, and each tax topic is thoroughly cited to the appropriate underlying authority (e.g., Internal Revenue Code, Income Tax Regulations, IRS ruling or judicial case) to facilitate further research. Among the taxpayer classifications covered are: - corporate executives - professionals - retailers-manufacturers-wholesalers - developers-contractors - fiduciaries and beneficiaries of estates and trusts - investors - owners and developers of mineral properties - farmers - salespersons - school teachers - military service members - residents of community property states - U.S. citizens abroad - members of the clergy - actors, artists, authors and musicians - bankrupt individuals - handicapped and disabled taxpayers - working families - older taxpayers - day-care center operators - students - aliens - statutory employees - tip recipients and payors This practical and insightful reference is a must for all tax professionals advising individuals and small business owners.

Ah mea culpa, I thought you were advocating the jumper as a permanent replacement for the silistor.
I forget so easily - because my vintage PMB orthos do not sound closed-in, but they do not have head-shattering bass either....
It could have something to do with the open-back designs though, come to think of it....
Sure. Open-back is especially risky. It means you have to get the [preferably large] diaphragm right up on the ear, or else have really really good sealing and density in your pads. An extreme case would be the oil-filled pads Koss and Sharpe used back in the day. With tight seals come other problems: cavity resonances, a rise in the natural resonance point of the diaphragm (illustrated clearly by the cocktail-straw-under-the-pad trick on Stax Lambdas)..
Since everything affects everything else, it's very tricky to have it all in a headphone. You could say that there's never a single cause for anything you might hear a headphone do. It's as if you were engaged in game of 3-D chess with it.
If you start out with an excess of bass you can afford to trade some of it off, and get away with using a tight seal (as in the Lambda), or antiphase tricks like the baffle vents in AKG 'phones, the ones that replaced the passive diaphragms in earlier models. As far as I know, no one has transplanted an ortho driver into an AKG (or AKG-like) chassis. It might work.
I've got one set of SFI's in a K271mkII but the transplant was halted because it is disturbingly difficult to work with it. Until I lengthen the cables going to the drivers, the mere concept of drivers fixed to baffle is simply unthinkable. Not to mention with no fillers and damping inside at the moment, the sound is quite literally a brilliant mess. At least in the case of the K271mkII, the large cups hide a surprisingly shallow cavity.
I've got an unfinished SFI/Sextett transplant sitting on my bench. In mine, the drivers are mounted in the ring/gimbal system. I've got a ton of foam and felt in there to try and soak up all those treble reflections. Actually, I've gotten some better damping materials lately... I should give those a try.
I had to enlarge the openings on mine. I really should find myself a better lit space to do dremel work (I sit in the corner of my garage stairs... poor light conditions or what) because it wasn't done that well.
Just for reference, roughly what kind of stuff did you put in there?
On another note, I did acquire myself some of that duct seal putty today and will be testing it out once this headache leaves me. Seems quite sticky... hopefully potential fillers won't all be stuck onto it. Maybe a layer of sand hmm...
Here's my build log: http://www.head-fi.org/t/569510/ortho-transplant-orthosex-sfi-into-akg-k240-sextett-lp-in-progress
I've got some scraps of acoustic foam I can try in there.
I haven't run test tones through them but the Sony ECR-500 have plenty of bass. I use mine daily at work driven by a Kyocera R-851.
Shame I lost an ECR-500 auction by $0.01 last year... See if you can hear a 30 or 40 Hz tone on them?
It's just as well. Most stock pads today have no 'padding' left in them.
Looks similar though, so it shouldn't really affect the sound.
Yes, those non-stock pads may turn out to be a blessing if the covering is soft and pliable.
Doing a quickie look-around for the duct seal stuff, I find it's more often called "duct seal compound" or even "duct sealant". Amazon sells it (though the shipping kills the deal), Lowes, Home Depot.. shouldn't be hard to find, around $2.50 a pound.

Are there any other pads that i can find to replace the stock pads without changing the sound?
Depends on which "sound" it is you don't want to change. Depends on where you live, too. Many enterprising folks on the thread have found all sorts of substitute earpads. Some even have made their own. Use the dedicated search engine: http://headfi.qix.it/megathreads/orthodynamic-roundup
The idea being to compare at which point (50, 40, or 30 Hz) the response seems to start drooping in volume compared to the volume at 1 kHz.

AES E-Library
An Efficient Algorithm for Measuring the Impulse Response Using Pseudorandom Noise
The impulse response of a linear system can be determined by exciting the system with white noise, and cross-correlating the input and output. As contrasted with the straightforward technique suing an impulsive excitation, this approach is capable of providing vastly superior dynamic range. In order to minimize the amount of computation required by the cross-correlation step, the system can be excited by a binary maximal-length sequence, and the cross correlation performed using the fast Hadamard transform. By this means, only additions are required, and the number of additions is approximately 2.5n log(2) n, where n is the length of the sequence.

Today is the one day�this year that is specifically set aside to honor you.� Every day I honor you, actually.� You've been the single constant in my life.� You fought like hell when Brent and I were�little ones with no help�to keep us under a dry roof, in a good school, and safe.��I can't imagine what that was like.� Yesterday was the day our family chose to celebrate this holiday.� Yesterday was our Mother's Day.
And where was I?
I was grading EMT students sitting for the practical portion of their NR�EMT-B card.�(And I followed that up by doing the same today, on your day officially.)
I sent some gorgeous flowers and a card.� I called.� Twice, actually.� Nick and Abby were there,�showering you with�enough�love for all of us.� I know how much you loved that.
But once again, I wasn't there.� And I was prepared for you to not be all that happy about it.
Your distaste for your baby girl working in EMS has ranged from wanting to disown me, to sending me job postings for banking positions, to offering to pay for me to go to school to persue "anything other than what you do now."� Initially, it was because EMS was so foreign to you.��You worried.� You worried about the pay, about the stress that�I'd be under dealing with what we deal with, the long hours, the possibility of�getting injured…��You told me about a year ago that when your phone rings after midnight that you automatically worry about me because of what I do.� And I know that you still worry.� It's what a Mother does.� It's instinct.� I do it to the point of distraction with my little ones.� Over the course of 7�years you've become okay (more or less) with what I do.� You've at least learned to tolerate it.� I hoped to one day have you proudly tell someone that your daughter is a Paramedic.
That day came yesterday.
On YOUR day.
One of�our family members was complaining that I wasn't at the party.� Loudly complaining.� Bitching, possibly.� (If this family member ever reads this post I'm going to be in a world of hurt.)
You came to my defense instantly, I was told.� "She's doing what she loves to do.� She's working.� Let it go."� You actually said that.��It still blows my mind.� And when I called you later on last night, apologizing for not being there, your response was "April, who should you be impressing�today?"
My answer was, "Just you, Mom."
"Well, you do.� I'm very proud of you.� How did your students do?"
I didn't know if I should laugh or cry.� My jaw was on the floor.� It was a simple statement that changed so much for me.
I love you, Mom.� Happy Mothers Day.� I know you've made mine.

Hear From The IT Blogger Whose Review Apple CEO Tim Cook Blasted
What's it like to see the chief executive of the world's most valuable company publicly ridicule your writing from three years ago? We ask IT consultant Bruce Berls.
Tim Cook's iPad-doubting straw man is real. He's IT consultant Bruce Berls.
In the run-up to unveiling the latest iPads on stage in Cupertino on Tuesday, Apple CEO Tim Cook blew through a barrage of glowing reviews meant to show how Apple's gadgets were some of the most well-received in the world. He cited such well-known outlets as the Wall Street Journal, Time magazine, and even former legal nemesis Gizmodo. But when he wanted to show the audience how Apple had proved its harshest critics wrong over the years, the corporate titan brought his hammer down on a lone mortal, relying on a less-than-prescient quote from Berls, an obscure IT blogger who runs a site called BruceB.com.
Berls's quote from his 2010 review stated, "[The iPad] is not going to revolutionize anything, it's not going to replace netbooks." The quote floated on a screen behind Cook's head before the Apple chief asked the audience with a smirk, "Who remembers netbooks?" He then revealed that earlier this month Apple had sold its 170 millionth iPad. The audience, after snickering over Berls's improvidence, erupted in cheer. The message was simple: Apple has proven the world wrong before; Apple can prove the world wrong again. It's an especially relevant sentiment given the increasing skepticism Apple has faced recently from shareholders and consumers alike.
It was also the ultimate told-you-so moment, at the expense of Berls, an unlikely target for Cook. His quote carried the weight of iPad's deflated faction of "doubters," as Cook referred to them. Such established analysts as PC World, Forrester Research, Bill Gates, and Eric Schmidt were all similarly leery of the iPad's potential—they arguably would've served as more satisfying targets of Cook's comeuppance. In singling out Berls, Cook was punching below his weight class—not that it matters much to Berls, who rejoiced at the shout-out from such a luminary. "I'm happy to be associated with it—I think it's just great, just marvelous!" Berls says with a big laugh and not a stitch of snark. "I'm obviously a small fry—I'm not a journalist. So I'm flattered because he could've chosen [to reference] much more famous people than I am."
Funny enough, Berls was watching a live stream of the presentation, but somehow missed the reference. "I must've been looking away or something!" he says. It wasn't until members of the media contacted him that he learned what happened. "I have since gone back and looked at the screenshots and thought, Wow, that's pretty remarkable that Tim Cook would do that!"
Berls doesn't hesitate to admit that he was wrong—though with a slight caveat. Cook cut off his quote, which went on to say that he's certain the iPad "will find large and devoted audiences."
"Even though I wasn't quite right, I did say Apple was going to sell a ton of iPads—at least I got that part right," Berls says. "[The truth is] Apple did do something that turned out to be revolutionary, and I've since recognized that. But that all comes with the benefit of hindsight."
If he had one message to lob back at Cook, "It would be ... I got it—later!" Berls says.
So why target him? Perhaps Cook was treading lightly around more notable critics or media outlets as they gear up to do new reviews of the iPad Air; perhaps Cook just wanted to fire a warning shot at small-time bloggers, Twitter pundits, and anonymous YouTube commentators and let them know their words could show up behind him next time. Cook did call out noted Microsoft Windows blogger Paul Thurrott ("Anyone who thinks [the iPad is] a game changer is a tool"), but even then, Cook refrained from mentioning his name or blog on stage.
If the jab was intended to warn small-time critics, Cook might have achieved the opposite effect. Berls doesn't mind that his name wasn't mentioned by Cook—he's not blogging for clicks or financial gain. Rather, Berls is happy enough to have been on the Apple exec's mind, for however brief a moment and for whatever purpose. He even wrote another blog post on the matter himself.
"It's the most recognition my blog has gotten," Berls jokes. "I treasure looking at this slide—I'm going to save it in my photos!"

With all due respect, I believe the word for someone who behaves like this is "bully."
and from reading cooke seemingly takes the quote out of full context by cutting off the part that was accurate- Apparently, he is trying to channel his inner Jobs
Yup. Good luck with that...
This article is lame. I hope this isn't a standard of journalism at Fast Co.

I think that my town of Campbell California is not only one of the safest places to live but is one of the nicest places in California. Every summer we have concerts in the park, actually on the Green, that are always fun and a great get away once a week that I can take the kids to. During the summer we have free movies downtown, sort of like a drive in but the movie is shown on the side of a building and the parking lot becomes the seating arena, we bring our chairs and blankets and watch old movies with our neighbors. We have several street fairs throughout the year.
We are also a city of parks, we have more parks per captia than any other city in California. We are a bike friendly and a walker friendly town. We have a beautiful town track and field center. Our Heritage theater attracts many big name artists. We have wonderful shopping downtown, all in walking distance. We are also blessed being only minutes from Santa Cruz, both the mountains and the beach. We are minutes to San Jose and the Sharks.
Campbell boasts a great school system. Campbell has a good diversity and that old time neighborhood feel. You can safely walk the streets at night with no fear. We still have little league, scouts, and walking to school is more the norm. Mothers still walk their children after dinner and have coffee at the cornor cafe and walking them to school. We shop at exclusive book stores, stores that specialize in olive oil, and the Dollar store. We have fanily friendly businesses and it is not unusual to see someone at mass with a cup of starbucks in their hands, no one said we were a prompt town, just friendly and safe.
Our children feel safe walking to and from school. We can take our dogs downtown and tie them to the post while we have lunch at one of our many downtown cafes. At one time we had a very famous resident, Sylvia Browne. She still comes back a few times a year. Overall, Campbell is a happy and healthy place to live. We are shaded by trees, have a vast expanse of parks, and are close to many major freeways. There is good repore between the police and the residents, and the city council is representative of the population in general. All are welcome.

Sir Alex Ferguson expects Manchester City to be competing with United for trophies for at least the next decade.
The team from across town have spent fortunes to get themselves into a position of strength and the title race looks to be going down to the wire, with Roberto Mancini's men returning to pole position on Saturday evening - albeit after dropping two points at Stoke. The United boss accepts the challenge being laid down is a very serious one and appreciates that is almost certain to continue being the case for years to come.
"I think what we've got to get used to, and every United and City fan too, is that there's going to be big games involving the two teams - semi-finals, finals, whatever - for the next decade anyway," Sir Alex affirmed. "The two of us will be at the forefront. But I also think Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham can stabilise themselves and can have great teams in the future."
The manager has praised City for their sustained challenge this season but hopes United's superior knowhow could still prove decisive in the run-in.
"I think experience is important," he stressed. "It doesn't matter who you are, if you've been there before, it helps. It's not absolutely conclusive that it will apply this season though. You've got to admire City, they've done exceptionally well and have been top of the table for a long time. In many ways, they're in the driving seat in the sense that they've got us to come at the Etihad Stadium where they've not lost a game there."

Research funding over the past few decades, economists say, has made wind, solar and other alternative sources of energy cheaper. But fossil fuels remain cheaper yet. Renewable sources comprise about the same sliver of America's energy portfolio as they did three decades ago, while the nation's reliance on imported oil has doubled.
Some of the promising technologies drawing the focus of R&D funding include renewable-energy systems (despite the recent downturn in oil prices), nuclear energy systems and wind turbine systems, which are expected to get a boost from the continuing economic and political pressure for greater U.S. energy independence.
Development of clean water supplies, sustainable processes and low-cost transportation systems will be other areas of focus in the coming year. But does investment in research and innovation pay big dividends to the public? Robert Solow, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics, concluded more than 50 years ago that new economic growth results from public and private investments in innovation. As an example of this, one can look to the government's long-term R&D investment by NASA and its Apollo missions. Those investments have generated many innovations that have benefited both society and industry. NASA early use of digital imaging processing technology helped improve the technology for today's widespread medical use of body-imaging techniques, such as computer-aided tomography (CAT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Even our modern microchips used today in industry are direct descendants of the integrated circuits used in the Apollo Guidance Computer onboard space missions from 1969 to 1972. Astronauts exploring the moon surface needed a durable, long-lasting portable drill to gather deep core samples.

The Rosenfeld Effect and Cleantech
October 20th, 2010 · No Comments
No one entity has shown the appetite for shouldering the risk involved in funding early stage cleantech research and seeing it through the sometimes long timeline to reach commercial market. Corporate research labs are not up to the task of blue-sky innovation. And Bell Labs is no longer part of the research picture. The venture model is not designed to handle this front-end innovation challenge and government is the best suited for the role of funding research but it's not clear it can commit to long, sustained investment in research to keep the pipeline fed and generating creative innovations.
There are always going to be exceptions to these forces. And one of those exceptions is the rare individual researcher who realizes a vision for research and then sticks to the vision despite intense opposition and lack of resources over long periods of time. Arthur Rosenfeld is one individual research who accomplished what some view as the impossible over several decades of research at UC Berkeley. We can't count on the next Arthur Rosenfeld coming along and persevering to create innovative energy and green technologies that move an entire society to a new realm of higher efficiency and sustainability.
In 1973, Arthur Rosenfeld was a brilliant nuclear physicist. But when the Arab Oil Embargo disrupted the U.S. and world economy, Rosenfeld had the vision and determination to focus on the fledgling field of energy-efficiency research.
Rosenfeld decided to shift his academic career at the University of California Berkeley by recognizing the dire nature of the energy crisis. He departed on a research journey that spanned more than 30 years and took him into a broad range of technologies and methods, like compact fluorescent lights, heat-reflecting window coatings, national standards for higher efficiency in household appliances and improved insulation approaches for buildings.

Unnatural Deaths and the Road to Commercialization
July 2nd, 2010 · Comments Off
холови гарнитуриThe road to commercialization is riddled with danger, risks and failed companies. In venture capital circles, people like to quote the ratio of successful startups to failures as roughly one in 10. But news is worse if you count spinoffs just coming into formation. And finding capital for very early-stage companies is increasingly difficult.
For those few companies that manage to beat the odds, there's fortune and fame. All of which helps perpetuate the casino-like investment scheme for startups. For those who have studied or worked with early-stage pre-seed companies, it's a wonder any spinoffs from a university campus ever make it to commercial success.
Despite the widespread frustration around commercialization and the poor commercialization track record in both government and private-sector endeavors, there are plenty of experts hawking new winning approaches to break the valley-of-death spell. After all, improving the outcome of technology commercialization is a core driver for the long-term health of the U.S. and global economy.

Microbe Powered Energy
May 4th, 2010 · No Comments
There are a lot of big ideas in the field of alternative power, from massive solar arrays to fields of wind turbines stretching toward the horizon. And then there are microbes.
Scientists are hoping that some sophisticated bioengineering on their part can leverage billions of years of bacterial evolution to combat our growing energy crisis.
Single-celled bacteria have been around as long as life has. "Bacteria have occupied life's mode from the very beginning," wrote Stephen Jay Gould in his essay "Planet of the Bacteria," "and I cannot imagine a change of status, even under any conceivable new regime that human ingenuity might someday impose upon our planet."
A change of status researchers are working on is to turn bacteria into tiny powerhouses. And their recent innovations stir the imagination. For example, recent study by University of Miami researchers indicate that purple bacteria living at the bottom of lakes and in coral reefs could be useful for their extraordinary light-harvesting abilities.
The bacteria are able to adapt to different light intensities by modifying the arrangement of their light-harvesting mechanism. University of Miami physicists are looking at ways purple bacteria's unique cellular structure might be applied to make more efficient solar panels.

Awakening the Water Avatar
April 1st, 2010 · No Comments
Water is usually an underappreciated and neglected resource. Until a city, community or village finds it depleted or contaminated.
Similarly, the energy involved in transporting and treating water is obscured, particularly its economic and environmental implications. But as developed countries come to grips with these issues, there's an awakening about water management much different from its origins 150 years ago.

Curiosity Kills the Grease
March 10th, 2010 · No Comments
Case Western University researchers have developed an ultralight sponge material that's able to draw oil out of contaminated water. Composed of clay and plastic, it was originally invented by Ph.D. student Matt Gawryla as a new kitty litter.
University scientists first make an aerogel by mixing clay with a polymer and water in a blender. Once the mixing is complete, the substance is freeze-dried and air fills the gaps left by the loss of water. The aerogel material can be made in a granular form, sheets or blocks.
Researchers say the real advantage of this super-absorbent material is that it leaves behind the water and so has great potential in a variety of environments, including oceans, factory floors, roads and rivers.

Material Generators

Harvesting and storing energy is a big challenge for a supercharged tech society on the run. From cellphones and laptops to a growing number of portable music and camera devices, electricity and battery life has become essential for much of today's business activities.
The trouble is that batteries still cannot deliver the kind of longevity needed for people who want to move about plug-free. That's why scientists have been trying to crack the secret to longer-life batteries for the past century and only making tiny steps to achieve the goal. But they aren't about to throw in the towel.
Researchers have been hard at work on some unconventional approaches. Researchers at Princeton University, for example, recently invented a new energy-harvesting rubber material composed of ceramic nanoribbons that could harvest energy from your breathing and walking.

Nature's Innovation Spectrum: From Spider Glue to Lotus Leaves
January 14th, 2010 · No Comments
When listing nature's wonders, you'd have to put spiderwebs somewhere near the top. Strands of biomaterial with the tensile strength of steel formed into complex shapes that withstand wind, heat and sunlight. They're so impressive that scientists still don't entirely understand them.
But recently researchers at the University of Wyoming have deciphered the glue that cements web ends to surfaces. It ranks as one of the strongest евтини мебелиglues made in nature, so strong that adhesives based on the web glue could ultimately replace existing petrochemical adhesives, according to Omer Choresh, molecular biologist at the University of Wyoming.

Up On Charges
January 7th, 2010 · No Comments
A group of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are working on a new type of sodium-ion battery that could prove to be a practical option for storing power from wind and solar farms, says Jay Whitacre, a professor of materials science and engineering at Carnegie Mellon. Whitacre's startup, 44 Tech, based in Pittsburgh, will receive $5 million from the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the 2009 Recovery Act to develop the technology. The funding is part of a $620 million package for improving the electricity grid.
The 44 Tech batteries could be not only cheaper but also longer-lasting than existing batteries, Whitacre says. This would make them particularly useful for storing large amounts of electricity cheaply–something that will be essential in making renewable energy the primary source of energy in the U.S. rather than the supplemental source it is now. Such storage will make it practical to store energy from wind turbines and solar farms for use when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.

Small Developments
January 4th, 2010 · No Comments
The efficiency and elegance of materials occurring in nature have always been an inspiration to researchers. Trying to achieve similar results via nanoengineering, scientists are now working on nanoscale particles that automatically orient themselves into unique materials with powerful properties.
It makes sense, this self-assembly approach, because it's simply too difficult to manipulate nanoparticles with lab devices, no matter how small they are. But if conditions are arranged correctly, self-assembly could be an effective way to manufacture new materials.
Consequently, there has been a lot of work in the area of self-assembly. In one very interesting project, Tel Aviv University researchers reportedly were able to grow peptides resembling small forests of grass that repelled dust and water.

Dwight Yorke believes Saturday's friendly with the Foxtel A-League All Stars will prove to be a beneficial work-out for David Moyes' men.
The Reds have spent the last week working on fitness in Sydney ahead of Saturday's clash at the ANZ Stadium and Yorke, who spent time as a player with Sydney FC, is expecting the Aussies to put up a decent fight.
"It will be a good team from the A League – they will have good quality," he told ManUtd.com. "They have selected the top players in the league and that gives them a better chance in terms of competing with the players. We know this is work in progress for the lads, but it'll definitely be a good run-out.
"Of course, the quality of football over here isn't the same as the Premier League, but it's a sport that is growing all the time. Playing in Sydney was a great experience for me. It's a great place to be and I thoroughly enjoyed my time out here."
