Universal Audio UAD Ampex ATR-102 – Extended Video Review
Russ gets his hands on the UAD Ampex ATR-102 tape emulation and puts it through its paces in this extended video. He takes a novel approach and looks at the effect it can have on different instruments rather than just as a mix-buss process. Find out more and get top Pro Tools and recording tips and tricks at http://www.pro-tools-expert.com
Background data:
It's Not a Record Until it's Mastered on an Ampex® Tape Machine.
For more than three decades, the two-channel Ampex ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder has turned music recordings into records. With its cohesive sound, punch, and ability to provide subtle-to-deep tape saturation and color, the ATR-102 is a fixture in major recording and mastering studios — and is considered by many engineers to be the best-sounding tape machine for final mixdown. The perfect complement to the workhorse Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder, the ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder plug-in for UAD-2 can provide the final "analog polish" on your music, turning songs into albums.
- Ampex®-authenticated plug-in emulation of the ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder — the most popular professional 2-track machine ever made
- Provides rich, cohesive tape sound, without the hassles of calibration, maintenance, tape degradation, etc.
- Models entire ATR-102 electronic path, including transformers, amplifiers, Repro, Sync, and Input paths
- Features multiple tape formulas, head configurations, and calibration levels
- Adjustable Wow, Flutter, Hiss, Hum, Crosstalk, and (L/R) Tape Delay
- Requires a UAD-2 DSP Accelerator Card available from authorized dealers worldwide
- View All Features
Impeccably modeled in the renowned UAD engineering tradition — and incorporating presets from noted ATR-102 users Chuck Ainlay, Richard Dodd, Buddy Miller, Mike Poole, and more — the ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder plug-in emulation for UAD-2 faithfully replicates the unique dynamics, frequency response, and saturation characteristics of the original hardware. Scrutinized and fully authenticated by the Ampex Corporation, the sound of the ATR-102 plug-in for UAD-2 is virtually indistinguishable from its analog cousin.
Introduced in 1976, the Ampex ATR-102 2-Track Tape Recorder was a near-instant hit, thanks to its revolutionary servo-controlled reel motors and capstan, which provided smooth, continuous tape tension and handling. The large capstan, and absence of pinch rollers, provided nearly non-existent speed drift and ultra-low flutter. The clever ATR-102 design allowed users to change out heads and guides in mere minutes, with a 1″ head being a very popular "hot-rod" modification in more recent years — especially when running at 15 IPS (inches per second). The ATR's role in modern recording history is so prevalent, that it would be easier to list classic albums that weren't mixed down on this machine, rather than to try to list all those that were.
All new – SLVR Spreader
SLVR Spreader is a state-of-the-art stereo widener suitable for mixing and mastering. It combines different stereo imaging technologies, letting you apply ample amounts of widening without weakening the overall sound. Use it on individual tracks like vocals, on group tracks like drums, and all the way to the final master.
Widening without Weakening
Most stereo wideners work by increasing the level of the side signal against the mid or center signal (often referred to as mid-side imaging). This results in a wider sound but it also weakens everything in the center section (e.g. Bass, Kick, Vocals, Snare). The problem is that you can't just bring up the center level, as that will simply cancel out the widening, which brings you back to square one.
With SLVR Spreader, you can apply as much widening as you want, as it lets you bring back important center signals lost in the widening. It does this by carefully screening out which parts of the center are being widened and protecting those signals. It also splits the center into 3 bands so that you can restore only the affected frequencies.
Three Powerful Modes
Wide mode uses a mid-side algorithm for widening the signal. This is suitable for stereo recordings, group tracks, and mastering.
Delay mode spreads the signal's frequencies across the stereo image and applies minute amounts of delay to emphasize the stereo effect. This can be used to fatten ambient sounds like vocals and pads.
Shuffle mode interleaves the signal's frequencies and spreads them across the stereo image. While the stereo effect is less pronounced in this mode, it can help the signal cut-through a busy mix without introducing artifacts or phase issues.
3 Channel Meters
SLVR Spreader has separate meters for Left, Center, and Right channels, allowing you to apply just the right amount of widening to the signal. For best results, increase the Spread fader until the Center peak is at the same level as or just above the Left and Right peaks.
Plugin Alliance introduces Brainworx bx_saturator
Brainworx' new bx_saturator is an M/S and multi-band saturation tool that can be used for mastering, mixing, and sound design applications.
"Recording and mixing instruments and vocals using the Mid-Side (M/S) technique is one of the secret weapons that professional audio engineers and producers use when they want to capture a performance in a way described by most listeners as, 'Natural-sounding,' 'Wide,' and 'Big.' Moreover, M/S recordings produce a very mono-compatible sound, and, although bx_saturator brings a mono/multi-mono version of the plug-in to the musical mix, the stereo M/S version of bx_saturator is considered by Brainworx to be the definitive plug-in for thickening or boosting any stereo signal or mix in a more discrete way than ever before."
As with all other Brainworx bx_ prefixed plug-ins, bx_saturator users can record Mid and Side tracks individually to retain total control over the stereo information until the final stage of production; as implied by name, Brainworx says that it offers a subtle, warm distortion — or saturation — that works wonders on individual audio signals, yet can also be applied to the stereo master channel in the M/S stereo model, while Brainworx's new 'True-Split' crossover technology ensures that Mid and Side channels are always perfectly in phase.
Brainworx tells us that this new plug-in's creative use knows no bounds: increasing the perceived volume of mixes without them clipping, or bringing delicate signals like acoustic guitars and percussion to the fore in full mixes without increasing their actual level or EQ'ing them in harsh, offensive ways; distorting vocals in full mixes without sacrificing drum-track punchiness or stereo guitar and keyboard clarity, for instance. They say that independently fattening — or even slightly distorting — Mid and Side signals separately for high and low frequencies should serve up a tasty selection of imaginative and inspirational sounds in next to no time… technical excellence for the creative musician and engineer, indeed (And for those needing a helping hand to get them started straight away, bx_saturator handily comes complete with 30 cool presets.)
Pricing and Availability:
Available in 64- and 32-bit versions, Brainworx's bx_ saturator plug-in can be purchased and downloaded (in all Mac OS X and Windows formats — VST 2.4, VST 2.3, RTAS, AU, AAX) for an introductory price of $179.00 USD (rising to $229.00 USD).
(Note: Plugin Alliance is offering a 30% off list price deal for all bx_ALL 2012 Bundle owners, saving them $69.00 USD — equalling an additional $19.00 USD saving over and above the introductory offer)

Q. What's your shoe size?
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 01-19-2013 - 5:22pm
I know this is a really random question, but just to keep the thread going.
My feet are currently size 10. I wear a size 10 in high heels, flats, and sneakers, and I wear a size 9 in flip flops. A lot of my friends and family have claimed that because I'm size 10, my feet are huge. I don't think so at all. I've had fellow female friends with size 12+ feet (a lot of my friends were athletes, and tall ones at that). I'm 5'9" without shoes, so I'm not that tall, especially compared to those friends I was referring to. I've also tended to be self consious about my size, and that hasn't always been good. Once, back in college, I went out to bowl with friends, and instead of getting a size 10 bowling shoe, I got a size 9. My feet were so sore and swollen by the end of that night, and I quickly learned not to be too self-conscious.
So, what's your shoe size, have you ever been self-conscious about your feet or shoe size, and at what size do you consider someone to have "big feet"?
|Wed, 01-23-2013 - 4:02pm
I am a size 8.5 - 9.5 depending on the shoe. I have 3 pairs of shoes - tennis shoes, sandals and slippers.
I too prefer to be barefoot, though in the winter it is impossible. If I have to wear shoes in the summer I usually wear my sandals.
I have to "sand" my feet every couple of weeks cause of the years of wandering barefoot, but it is the price I pay for being comfortable. I have tried various lotions and though they make my feet soft, they don't stop the callus build up. I wish I could wear flip flps but that middle toe thing drives me batty.

Hi Ann, you'll see they won't be troll feet. ;O) Just a hint but do all the pedicures at home AFTER your shower when the feet are soft and subtle..... it really helps. Cream cream cream,, I keep a tube of special foot cream in my night stand and cream every night when I hop in bed. Not it doesn't make a mess of the sheets either. (hand cream or other just isn't strong enough,, it should have Urea and Panthenol in it to do any good)
|Tue, 01-22-2013 - 11:18am
Think I have looked here before, just looked again and no luck. Am looking for althletic shoes with a certain kind of sole to make it easier for the outer build-up as well as nicer looking. I also wear just a slight lift insert along with my outer build-up. I went from 2 1/2 inch build up to 3/4 inch total inside and out after my hip replacement surgery.
|Mon, 01-21-2013 - 3:29pm
Gail...Take a look here. These are casual wide shoes from shoebuy.com. They sell even wider widths than that if needed. Look to the column to the left and you'll see many more catagories to scroll through and click on in this width. They give you free shipping both receiving and returning......
I also wear a shoe lift, but I wear it inside my shoe. Therefore, I have to have 'mary jane' strap or tie shoes to help hold them on my one foot with the lift. I've been able to find some cute mary jane's with narrow strap for a more dressy look. Maybe there's something there that you could wear too.

Megan, I go barefoot as often as possible. Not so much in town, because I couldn't go into stores barefoot, but in the summer I'm always barefoot around my yard or the neighborhood. I love the feel of grass, sand or even warm pavement on my bare feet! Because they are seen so often, I do keep my feet as soft as I can in the summer and keep the nails neat and polished, but all this foot talk has inspired me to do a little more for my feet in the winter, too. I'm going to see about keeping the dryness and calluses on my big toes at bay (they're persistent, though!) and maybe find a better lotion for them. They'll still be troll feet, but at least they'll be soft troll feet, lol!

"ECT saved my life," folk singer-songwriter Heather McCready admitted in front of a crowd of 150+. "Two of my family members refused the treatment and died by suicide." The crowd listened in stunned silence, but I knew Heather's story.
My stomach sank for two reasons. I'd assembled this group partly to celebrate my appearance on the Dr. Oz show about ECT, but also to provide a public forum to discuss ECT. I'd invited three psychiatrists I deeply admire to sit on a panel to discuss the procedure in detail. We viewed the Dr. Oz show. Afterward, I moderated the panel. The dread of having my panelist friends dragged into catfight about ECT was my second reaction. My first, honestly, was oh shit, what if this happens to me?

Father's Day is this Sunday, but Churchill Downs has great activities planned for Friday and Saturday to help you kickoff a weekend of celebrating the special dads in your life.
Start the party off Friday night as Churchill Downs welcomes back its popular night racing program, Downs After Dark. In addition to live racing under the big lights and Happy Hour drink specials, the night includes jams spun by DJ D.M.C. of the 80's rap group, Run D.M.C. There will also be a Bet or No Bet Sweepstakes in which four fans will get a chance to either place a $1,000 win wager on a horse of his or her choosing or pocket a $100 Thornton's gift card.
Gates open at 4:00 PM with the first post at 6:00 PM and last post just after 11:00 PM. Be sure to pick up your Bet or No Bet entry at the gate. Admission is $10.
After you've partied the night away with your Pops, bring him back to Churchill Downs on Saturday for a great day of Stakes action. Stephen Foster Day is highlighted by the Grade 1 Stephen Foster Handicap, but the day also includes three Grade 3 stakes for three-year-olds—the Matt Winn Stakes over the dirt, the Jefferson Cup, and the Regret Stakes (for fillies), both run over the turf.
Stephen Foster Day is presented by Abu Dhabi who will offer race fans the opportunity to learn about life in the Emirate and enjoy Arabian hospitality when patrons visit the Abu Dhabi Experience Tent. The tent is a collaboration of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and the Office of the Brand of Abu Dhabi. It will be located in the paddock area near Gate 18.
Bring the kids by the Junior Jockey Club, located near Gate 10, where they can make Dad a Father's Day card and tour the paddock. The Club also offers games and other activities to entertain the kids while Mommy and Daddy do a little handicapping. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
Last year's Stephen Foster Stakes was won by Blame, who went on to edge out the great mare Zenyatta in the Breeders' Cup Classic later that year. Other Stephen Foster winners have included Curlin, Saint Liam, Perfect Drift, and Street Cry. This is a fantastic opportunity to see some of the top horses compete right in your own backyard. Gates open at 11:30 AM with the first post at 12:45 PM. Admission is $3.
What more could a dad ask for than phenomenal racing and good times spent with his family?

On the setup page, what user did you use to connect to AD? It needs to really be an administrator
It's not an Administrator user, but a user that can access AD. It is the same user that I use for my Moodle AD authentication and that works. Does the user need to be in Administrators or Domain Admins?
It unfortunately, needs to be a domain admin user. it's only used for AD access outside of the user's logon, and really only for logging on and user authentication

Federal Communications Commission chairman Tom Wheeler's proposal to inhibit joint sales agreements between TV stations is already shaping up to be a fight that will split along party lines. With Commissioner Mike O'Rielly's statement released Monday—which supports keeping JSAs as an option for small-market broadcasters—both Republican commissioners have publicly expressed their opposition to Wheeler's proposed change, which will be on the agency's agenda at the end of the month. Wheeler has called joint sales agreements, where one TV stations sells advertising time for another, a loophole in the ownership rules that allow big broadcasters to essentially own a second station without having that count as ownership.Read More
In what's being billed as the biggest underground digital out-of-home network to date, CBS Outdoor and Turner Broadcasting System have teamed up to bring a little dazzle to the New York City subway system. Under its recently launched Ignite: Innovations Lab initiative, CBS Outdoor has installed 10 big video screens in some of Manhattan's busiest commuter hubs, including the MTA stations at Times Square, Herald Square and Columbus Circle. Standing 66 inches, or five-and-a-half feet high, and about three feet wide, the new video installations have been deployed ahead of CBS and Turner's joint March Madness coverage. While Turner will use the screens to promote the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship , it will also stream promos for its entertainment and news programming on TNT, TBS, truTV, Adult Swim and CNN. While the screens have been set up to maximize impressions in advance of March Madness, the deal will keep the units lit through at least March 2015. According to Dennis Camlek, svp, Turner Media Group, the subway screen loops are about five minutes in duration, and all content is fed to the displays from the Atlanta campus. Camlek said that content can be swapped out practically in real time, with a lag of 30 seconds at the most. While the colors and images displayed on the screens are particularly dynamic, there is no associated audio feed. "That was something we went back and forth on," Camlek said. "But because the MTA's safety messages are of the utmost importance, we thought we'd hang back on the audio." Camlek added that while the 10 screens will be seen by a great number of TV viewers—approximately 7 million commuters walk through the NYC subway turnstiles every day—the number of media buyers and other agency personnel that will pass the displays is a nice bonus. "It's both consumer- and industry facing," Camlek saidRead More

Viacom is doing at scale something that TV entertainment companies—especially those with a wide footprint in the unscripted world—are relying heavily on for growth: It's creating a full division devoted to branded content. (The Nickelodeon family of kids' networks isn't a part of this—those channels operate under very different advertising rules.) The new group is called Viacom Velocity and will work closely with the marketing divisions of every adult network in the Viacom portfolio, including Comedy Central, MTV, VH1, Spike, TV Land and BET. The original content part of the unit—creative solutions, run by Neils Schuurmans, formerly evp of marketing and exec creative director at Spike—will serve partly as a think tank for new ideas. One example is Comedy Central's recent half-hour prime-time special with Kevin Hart—called Serve & Protect—which led into Hart's new movie with Ice Cube, Ride Along. The other part of the venture will be working with existing talent. Evp Dario Spina will head the integrated marketing half of the equation, working on content that "weaves in and out of our existing programming," as Spina puts it. Both involve a significant amount of production oversight, as well as air traffic control between very different brands. "This is something we've been doing informally for the last few years and it's really reaching a tipping point of scale," said company ad sales head Jeff Lucas, who is also refreshingly frank about why the company is announcing the new unit now: "As we're approaching the upfront, we want to make some noise to get out there and broaden it." Indeed, it's a good time to formalize this setup—throughout television, it's harder every year to sell clients on a purely spot-based buy. Viewers skip ads, they pirate, they wait for the DVD set or the streaming air date, or they buy by episode on digital. But Lucas says this is the way forward. "We've spent years investing in content based on deep research," he told Adweek. "We can get closer to the creators of that content than anyone." (Both Spina and Schuurmans report to Lucas.) Network executives at several companies have been trying to do this on different levels for years—a few years ago at NBCUniversal, Lauren Zalaznick (who left the company late last year) instituted cross-network demo buys for women and Hispanic viewers that forced the sometimes internally competitive NBCU family to play nice together when it came to pleasing ad clients. Ad sales president Linda Yaccarino created a "client solutions group" with similar aims in October. Discovery purchased Revision3 last year in a bid to create more deeply branded properties that aligned with its existing linear networks; thus far its Animalist and Test Tube digital platforms (half-siblings of cable channels Animal Planet and Science) have yielded several sponsorships. And Turner has Funny or Die and a particularly deep client-network setup at Adult Swim—with the exception of reality, comedy content is the easiest to integrate. But Viacom has been doing this sort of thing well and for a long time: Spike, in particular, has been a focal point—it does Dick Clark-style countdowns to the release of new Call of Duty games, and the whole organization united to promote Relativity's raunch-comedy anthology (which is poised to sweep the Razzies this year). Hey, the money's green. So how will Schuurmans assemble the new team? "Some of it is just realigning people, but some of it is definitely bringing people in," he said. "It's just about rallying those folks and saying, okay, you're now working on dedicated creative content." And there are plenty of people at the company that were already working on just thatRead More

It is the year 12,020 G.E. and Emperor Cleon I sits uneasily on the Imperial throne of Trantor. Here in the great multidomed capital of the Galactic Empire, forty billion people have created a civilization of unimaginable technological and cultural complexity. Yet Cleon knows there are those who would see him fall - those whom he would destroy if only he could read the future.
Hari Seldon has come to Trantor to deliver his paper on psychohistory, his remarkable theory of prediction. Little does the young Outworld mathematician know that he has already sealed his fate and the fate of humanity. For Hari possesses the prophetic power that makes him the most wanted man in the Empire... the man who holds the key to the future - an apocalyptic power to be know forever after as the Foundation.
Isaac Asimov began his Foundation Series at the age of twenty-one, not realizing that it would one day be considered a cornerstone of science fiction. During his legendary career, Asimov penned over 470 books on subjects ranging from science to Shakespeare to history, though he was most loved for his award-winning science fiction sagas, which include the Robot, Empire, and Foundation series. Named a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Asimov entertained and educated readers of all ages for close to five decasdes. He died, at age of seventy-two, in April 1992.

Expression Web is the replacement for FrontPage so if you had that as part of your agreement the license gets automatically upgraded
So, my new school recently entered into a Microsoft Schools Agreement. Everything is largely as I expected, having used it a bit at my previous school (the NM took care of most of it there), but there is one thing puzzling me.
In my Volume License Product Keys section, I have a key for Expression Web. I didn't specifically order it. Every other key in the list is for a product I specifically ordered, and expected to be there. Did this come thrown in with something? I know Expression Studio comes with the High School MSDNAA that you get with a Schools Agreement, but I haven't even activated that benefit yet.
(For reference, the things I actually ordered were the Desktop School pack (Office, Windows, Core CALs), DPM, Exchange, and some Windows Server licences.)
Can anyone shed any light?
Expression Web is the replacement for FrontPage so if you had that as part of your agreement the license gets automatically upgraded
ZeroHour (11th September 2009)
We've got keys for all sorts that we don't use and don't have licenses for. I just ignore them.
Is this perhaps tied in to the fact that Sharepoint Designer is now free; if you had bought that, then you get a free license for Expression - details on the MS web site http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sh...607611033.aspx
I guess what I mean with the upgrade is that if you had FrontPage licenses then it would just be updated to Expression Web, don't think there was any difference in the cost iirc ... maybe came across wrong but it's been a long week for me
May well be the Frontpage \ Expression Web was dropped on as part of what the supplier or MS see as a standard desktop software package?

Overall, our experience with Leroy Springs Catering was very positive. The food was absolutely delicious; we received so much feedback from our guests about how great the food was. The staff was extremely kind. One attendant in particular, William Johnson, went above and beyond the call of duty. He assisted me, the bride-dress and all, up the stairs at the Dairy Barn before I walked down the aisle. He made sure the bride and groom received food first - a big plus!
The only issue we had was running out of certain types of alcohol. Brides, make sure you buy a little more than you think. They may try to talk you down on the # of wine bottles considering they are 1.5 liters instead of the traditional 750 mL, BUT I would throw in a few more in case!
But again, the alcohol was the only issue; I would recommend them to anyone based on their food and day-of service!!
THANK YOU for making our event successful :)

Our wedding was this past Saturday, and we had not sampled any of the food prior to the reception. Evelyn from Leroy Springs was helpful in guiding us toward choosing the perfect menu for our event. We were hesitant to choose the chicken in white wine sauce, because every wedding has chicken on its menu, but she convinced us, and I am SO glad she did!! This chicken, Mr. Johnson (our matre de) called it "drunk chicken" let me tell you it was THE BEST I've ever tasted, wedding or otherwise. The prime rib was to die for, our guests had rave reviews about our sliders and mashed potato bar appetizers as well. The staff was beyond helpful in making sure we (the bride and groom) got a chance to eat, and always had a drink in hand. They are the true definition of Southern Hospitality. They work very closely with our venue The Dairy Barn, so we came across them as a vendor by accident, but it truly was a happy accident. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for keeping my guests full and happy. I highly recommend them, and their "drunk chicken" to anyone in need of a caterer!

Leroy Springs Catering was wonderful to work with. Laura and Evelyn were available to answer questions via phone and email. They really helped us create the best menu for our wedding. The night of our wedding reception was amazing. William our dinner captain was on top of everything. He made sure that we were taken care of as well as our guests!! These are wonderful people to work with. :D

Ms. Evelyn and William took great care of us on our wedding day. Since our wedding was in a barn in June, we knew it would be a warm day and hoped it was not HOT. We planned our menu to be a "fresh from the market" with a huge salad bar, shrimp cocktail, thier famous Mac - n - Cheese, Sliders and an ice cream bar. It was set up beautifully and our every desire was catered to. I received so many compliments on the food, especially the mac n cheese and the brisket. I recommend the salad bar approach if you have guests with special diets. They can make their own food and everyone is happy.

We had nothing but positive experiences with Leroy Springs Catering. The initial meetings were great and Evelyn helped us pick a delicious menu for our reception. We postponed our wedding and they gave us a full refund after cancelling our first date! When we rebooked with them they tweaked our menu to fit the change from a spring to winter wedding and made some great suggestions for warm comfort food. (The squash casserole is to die for!). We were in constant communication back and forth throughout all the planning. The day of the wedding they were all set up three hours prior to the ceremony, William Johnson, the Maitre D, was AMAZING. Not only was he shuttling out tourists from our venue, but after the ceremony he brought back a platter of appetizers for the bridal party to snack on during our photos. Talk about service! Whenever I asked what I needed to do the response was "This is your day! We got it all taken care of!" He even carried my plate for me back to my table. Nothing but good words for this company!

We did not have the greatest experience with this catering company. We feel like there was much more effort on our side to make sure everything was taken care of and that's just not good customer service. We had several issues with customer service. The catering manager didn't even show up for our first meeting! We were told that she would make it up to us, but "discount" was never mentioned. As far as I know nothing was done to "make it up to us". At our final meeting we were told for the first time that we weren't allowed to bring in our own cake. The catering manager did make sure that we were able to bring it in and broke the rules a little for us. So, that was very nice. Overall, our experience was mediocre and we would not use them again.

CRICKET SOUTH AFRICA (CSA) today congratulated the Coca-Cola under-19 squad on their outstanding achievement in winning the ICC under-19 World Cup in Dubai.
In today's Final they beat Pakistan by six wickets.
"Winning the U-19 World Cup for the first time is a wonderful day for South African cricket to celebrate," commented CSA Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat. "Without exception we are all very impressed by the manner in which our U-19 team won this world cup.
"The way they dominated today's Final from the very first ball and being the only team unbeaten throughout the tournament showed all the hallmarks of a championship team.
"I would like to extend warm congratulations from the CSA Family and indeed from the whole nation to coach Ray Jennings, captain Aiden Markram and all the other players and members of the squad for this inspiring achievement.
"There are a lot of other people who need to be thanked for assisting in the selection and preparation of the side. It is rewarding to see our development structures producing a winning team and such good players.
"To have the best team in the world at Test and under-19 level is worth celebrating. As South Africans we can all be justifiably proud."

Those working at Indiana University Health's downtown Indianapolis hospitals will soon be prohibited from smoking at any time during their work hours, even if they are far from the hospital during a lunch break.
The grounds of those hospitals have been smoke free since 2005, but IU Health officials say they want to limit so-called thirdhand smoke that can cling to the clothes and hair of smokers and be passed along to patients.
IU Health vice president Sheriee Ladd tells The Indianapolis Star that the policy isn't meant to tell employees they can't smoke but that they can't bring tobacco contaminants into the hospital.
IH Health includes Methodist Hospital, Riley Hospital for Children and University Hospital. The new policy is to take effect Aug. 22.

As bad as Chicago? New Yorkers sneer at city's crime

Chicago police became a punching bag for a New York politician and cops after a federal judge this week stopped a controversial NYPD tactic, prompting predictions that crime in New York would soon be as bad as Chicago's.
"Welcome to Chicago," the New York Post quoted one anonymous Bronx police officer as saying after a federal judge on Monday ordered a federal monitor to oversee the New York Police Department after finding the city's stop-and-frisk policy was unconstitutional.
Former New York Gov. George Pataki pronounced on national TV that policing in Chicago "leaves a lot to be desired."
Pataki, a Republican, was defending the stop-and-frisk policy and blasted the judge's ruling. On Tuesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," he fired a barb at President Obama and his Chicago hometown.
If Obama and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder want to investigate a police department, Pataki said, "why don't they look at Chicago, where the civil rights of young African Americans are being not only taken away, but they're being murdered in record rates on the South Side of Chicago?"
He went on to say of Chicago: "The policing there leaves something to be desired when it comes to protecting the constitutional rights of young African Americans to walk the streets with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is vowing to fight Monday's ruling on his city's stop-and-frisk policy, saying: "I wouldn't want to be responsible for a lot of people dying."
If that were to happen, Chicago's reputation might actually benefit.
That's because Chicago's murder rate is more than three times the rate of homicides per 100,000 people in New York City.
For more than a decade, Chicago has suffered unfavorable comparisons to New York and its falling violent-crime totals.
In 2001, Chicago surpassed New York's murder totals, even though New York dwarfs Chicago in population. That prompted headlines such as "Chicago: Nation's Murder Capital."
Last year, Chicago took another hit in the national media when the murder total rose to 506 — a 16 percent jump over 2011. In comparison, there were 417 murders in New York City last year — a 19 percent decrease over 2011.
This year, though, murder in Chicago is down sharply compared to 2012. Through July, homicides were down 25 percent.
Chicago Police Supt. Garry McCarthy, a former top deputy in the New York Police Department, refused to take Pataki's bait during a news conference Tuesday to announce the expansion of his narcotics strategy on the West Side.
The superintendent also held his tongue when told New York cops were warning the Big Apple may become "as bad as Chicago" now that a federal judge has overturned the stop-and-frisk law.
"As bad as Chicago? Well, okay. There's also, how many 30,000, 35,000 [New York officers]. You're going to, well, I'm not going say what I was going to say," McCarthy said.
"We've got a 1965 murder rate in the city of Chicago right now. There's some unwarranted perceptions that exist out there. We have had a historical problem with violence in this city. We still have a problem with violence, as does New York City — as does any other urban center in this country. The fact is, we're making great progress."
McCarthy said what's different about Chicago isn't about stop-and-frisk. It's about gun laws and the fact that Illinois doesn't have the three-year, mandatory minimum sentence for gun crimes that the state of New York has, he said.
"The priority of the criminal justice system in New York is to reduce gun violence. Our men and women are putting themselves in harm's way to get those guns off the street. What's different here is the fact that the law does not support preventing those guns from getting into criminals hands," the superintendent said.
"Go look at what happened to [former New York Giants receiver] Plaxico Burress. He shot himself and went to jail for two years in New York. You get probation for gun possession in the state of Illinois. It couldn't be any simpler. What's different is the guns —not stop and frisk."
Chicago Fraternal Order of President Mike Shields said he doesn't agree with Pataki about stop and frisk. But he does agree with the former New York governor that Chicago has a "policing problem" under McCarthy's leadership.
"Two years ago, we had billboards up around town about the shrinking of this department. Today, we are a national embarrassment with no plan moving forward except vilifying guns in Springfield and not the people who use them in murders," Shields said.
"We're not really on board with the superintendent's policies. McCarthy is not chasing criminals. He's chasing statistics. That's not going to change crime in this city."

Vegan Sources of Calcium and a Few Calcium Rich Raw Recipes
If the number one question Vegans get asked is: "Where do you get your protein?", then the number 2 question is: "Where do you get your calcium?"
So I decided to make a list of some Vegan sources of calcium and then came up with three simple calcium rich raw recipes.
Deciding to supplement or not is definitely something you will need to discuss with a qualified medical professional according to your needs and this article is not meant to substitute professional medical advice.
That being said, here is a list of some Vegan sources of calcium, according to http://whfoods.org:
Excellent sources: spinach, turnip greens, mustard greens, collard greens
Very good sources: blackstrapp molasses, Swiss chard, kale, basil
Good sources: romaine lettuce, celery, broccoli, sesame seeds, cabbage, summer squash, green beans, garlic, Brussel sprouts, oranges, asparagus, leeks, crimini mushrooms, kelp
Go here for a full list of vegan and non-vegan calcium rich foods.
I would also like to add moringa powder to the list of excellent sources. If you haven't heard of it yet you can look it up on wikipedia here.
I decided to whip up some really simple calcium rich raw recipes with the foods listed above. Then I looked up the calcium content in the USDA nutritional database to give you the total calcium content of each recipe. (With the exception of moringa powder where I used the formula of 601 mg of calcium per 30 grams using this chart http://www.moringaleafpowder.co.za/analysis.html and used the conversion of 8 grams = 1 rounded tablespoon moringa powder.)
Calcium Rich Recipes
Calcium Rich Smoothie
Blend the following until smooth:
2 cups fresh squeezed orange juice 55 mg
2 ripe medium bananas 12 mg
1 rounded tablespoon moringa powder 160 mg
Total Calcium Content: 227 mg
Calcium Rich Green Juice
Juice the following in a juicer that juices greens well such as the Omega 8006 or the Omega Vert
5 large stalks celery 130 mg
4 cups chopped collard greens 104 mg
1 bunch spinach 337 mg
5 medium apples 55 mg
1 lemon 22 mg
Total Calcium Content: 667 mg (estimate because the calcium values were for the foods before they were juiced)
Calcium Rich Fruit Salad
Add all ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
2 cups oranges peeled and chopped 144 mg
2 cups mangos peeled and chopped 36 mg
2 tablespoons ground sesame seeds 88 mg
1 tablespoon blackstrapp molasses 41 mg
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon 13 mg
Total Calcium Content: 322 mg
To put things into perspective here is a recommended daily allowance chart for calcium uptake:
1 – 3 years old 700 mg
4 – 8 years old 1,000 mg
9 – 13 years old 1,300 mg
14 – 18 years old 1,300 mg
19 – 30 years old 1,000 mg
31 – 50 years old 1,000 mg
51 – 70 years old 1,000 mg
51 – 70 year old females 1,200 mg
71+ years old 1,200 800
14 – 18 years old, pregnant/lactating 1,300 mg
19 – 50 years old, pregnant/lactating 1,000 mg
I personally put moringa powder in my smoothies, always have ground sesame seeds available to sprinkle on fruits, salads, soups . . . (etc.) or available to add to nut milks, drizzle blackstrapp molasses on porridges, fruit, or put it in my tea, and I drink at least 32-64 ounces of green juice everyday. You can also incorporate calcium rich greens into your green smoothies, salads, soups, or simply steam them.
Some other important things to know about calcium uptake, according to http://whfoods.org:
– High intakes of sodium, caffeine, or protein cause an increase in the urinary excretion of calcium.
– Vitamin D accelerates the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract.
– While research studies confirm the ability of phytic acid and oxalic acid in foods to lower availability of calcium, the decrease in available calcium is relatively small.
For even more information about calcium intake on a Vegan diet I recommend you listen to this interview by Dr. Klaper MD. The topic is: "Secrets to Preventing Osteoporosis". He will discuss:
– Which foods put your bones at risk?
– When are x-rays and bone density tests deceptive?
– Which exercises keep your bones strong and which don't?
– Besides calcium, which other nutrients are critical to strong bones?
– Does fluoridated water strengthen your bones or deteriorate them?
– The shocking "reverse correlation" between milk consumption and osteoporosis
– Why bone density test results are NOT a true indicator of osteoporosis
Normally, only students of The Vegetarian Health Institute have access to this interview. But I've arranged complimentary access for you too. To listen to the recording (or download it), click here now:

Have grammar, punctuation, and spelling been cut from schools since I went?

Re: Have grammar, punctuation, and spelling been cut from schools since I went?
Just because you spell a word incorrectly does not mean the word itself does not exist. Her version, even though it was misspelled, would still be, if spoken, pronounced the same, and have the same meaning. TRUE.
So "technically speaking" the word does not exist in the precise way she spelled it, however "literally speaking" laziness no matter how you want to spell it, is undisputably a word.
Had he written his response like this,
"Technically, lazyness isn't a word.", it would have been true, but a
ctually the spelling of the word should have been contested or pointed out, not the existence of said word. You cannot honestly say a word literally does not exist because of a technicality such as spelling.
There is a difference between the two you know, for example I cannot say that you are an asshole literally, or you'd be just a stinky dark brown circle in someone's crack, however technically speaking you are indeed an asshole.
See the difference?
