Because intensity is a measure of the severity of shaking at a given location, it varies geographically for any given earthquake. In other words, different observers at different locations may experience different effects. Assigning values to levels of earthquake intensity allowed early researchers to make some rudimentary discoveries about earthquakes and the distribution of shaking associated with them.
They did this by surveying people immediately after an earthquake had struck the area, and collecting reports of what those people experienced in the earthquake. Were they frightened by the shaking? If they were sleeping at the time, were they awakened? Was anything knocked over and damaged? Did they notice trees shaking, doors swinging open, or walls creaking? The answers to these questions allowed investigators to assign an intensity to the location of each survey response. With enough reports, they could create contour maps of the variations in intensity across an area. Points of similar intensity were grouped into zones bounded by lines called isoseisms, analogous to the isobars seen on weather maps of barometric pressure.
The first crude isoseismal maps showed that intensity zones tend to form a "bull's-eye" pattern of concentric circles, grading from the highest intensity in the innermost circle to the lowest intensity (shaking not felt at all) at the outer edges. The center of this pattern, and consequently the point of greatest intensity, was designated as the epicenter, and was assumed to be the point on the surface directly above the underground source of the earthquake.
The initial, idealized view of isoseisms forming neat concentric
circles (as shown on the map of Los Angeles in 1920, at right) did not
last. The more detailed isoseismal maps became, the clearer it became that
the distribution of intensity was not so regular and predictable.
In spite of this, isoseismal maps still allowed researchers their first
means of locating earthquakes and rating them by "maximum intensity",
a measure of their relative power.

If Mayor Bloomberg's billions of initiatives to help boost S.T.E.M. activity in our city didn't tip you off, New York suffers from a dearth of talented engineers. The Flatiron School, launched last year, has established itself as a coding mecca for professionals with no development experience hoping to break into the tech world and fill some of those empty coding gigs.
With a 10 percent acceptance rate, Flatiron has been pretty successful in placing applicants in jobs: Last September, 100 percent of graduates scored fulltime developer gigs at places like Conde Nast, Universal and Contently, according to Adam Enbar, the school's cofounder.
Now, Flatiron is teaming up with Skillcrush, a New York-based digital literacy startup, to offer a two-week intensive program for high school students hoping to hone their developer chops. "The longterm goal will be to create a more sustainable after school program so that rather than kids doing ballet or karate or learning violin we can add coding to that mix," Mr. Enbar told Betabeat by phone. "We want to create a real ongoing program to help kids learn how to code."
The program, which will be taught by Skillcrush cofounders Adda Birnir and Kate McGee, will run from June 17th to June 28th with classes Monday – Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. With such similar mission statements, both Flatiron School and Skillcrush have been looking for an opportunity to partner up, and offering a summer program for kid coders seemed like the perfect sweet spot.
"One of the things that's great about high school kids is they're going to be super fluent in all of the school apps," Ms. Birnir told Betabeat by phone. "But what we're gonna do is say, 'You're really excited about the Internet, here's how you go from being a consumer of the web to someone who's actively participating in it. It can be for fun: you can make video games or Tumblr blogs or animated GIFs, but there's also a way where you can have a real impact on the world through the Internet and through building web applications."
The program will be divided into three parts. The first will be dedicated to teaching kids typical web terminology and introducing them to HTML and CSS; the second will get them into the terminal and train them to think conceptually about programming; the third will intro kids to the hacker and maker movement.
"Our goal is really to just get these kids super excited about programming and computers and get them thinking they can be active participants as opposed to passive consumers," Ms. Birnir said.
Mr. Enbar told Betabeat that the first program will cost $2,000 and will only be admitting about 20 students. Manhattan Prep has provided a classroom for free, and Flatiron plans to donate the proceedings saved from renting a space to a nonprofit that teaches kids how to code.
"As we can create a business out of teaching kids to code we can also be empowering these nonprofits that are doing really great work," Mr. Enbar added.

Rap-Up TV: Lil Twist and Lil Wayne Cater to the Ladies on 'Tha Carter IV'
After a lengthy wait, Lil Wayne's highly-anticipated album Tha Carter IV is set to hit stores on August 29. Young Money's Lil Twist opened up to Rap-Up TV about "Flowers," one of the club-oriented tracks that may make the cut.
"We have a record that is set to be on C4," shared the Mohawked rapper. "It's titled 'Flowers' and it's a great record, a fun record, a club track. I think the fans are gonna love it 'cause it's just a real swagged-out track. They've heard me and my brother team up for the ladies on a record called 'Popular' on his album I Am Not a Human Being, but this one is more of a club record for the ladies."
When they're not working hard, Twist and Tunechi also play hard. They were recently seen spreading the wealth at Miami gentlemen's club King of Diamonds. "We really live that every week when we're off. It was fun. Twizzy F. and Weezy F. did it big that night," said Twist, who claims that around $60,000 was spent before he left.

These instructions and the Design Guide are to be used to create a DigiFlip print file. For purposes of Start your FunFlip design with the First View (View 1). This i ate a FunFlip print file. For purposes of instruction, view for your FunFlip storyboard. instruction, the following conventions apply:
This is the overall image that will be seen by the viewer as they flip through a finished DigiFlip. Each DigiFlip has four views which the viewer cycles through endlessly.
Each of the four die cut "Panels" on the FunFlip form. These panels are where the images are ultimately.
Each contiguous portion on a FunFlip Panel. Panels have from one to eight segments.
Start your DigiFlip design with the First View (View 1). This is the opening view for your DigiFlip storyboard. This view is most often a single image with introductory text. This image prints on two contiguous segments so there is no concern for registration. For best results, avoid solid area coverage in these areas, as some printers may not completely fuse the image across the perforations, resulting in very small image deletions.
View 1 uses one contiguous image. Make the image with an overall size of 3.125" x 3.125". This will allow a 0.0625" outside bleed to compensate for any paper shifting during printing. Also keep text and any critical graphic image at least 0.0625" from the edge. For reference to the DigiFlip print file, this single image is referred to as v1.
When designing the images and text for the Second View, it's important to note that the Segments V2/3-A and V2/3-B are visible in the Second View, however, these two segments are actually created in the Third View. The four corner panels V2-E, V2-F, V2-G and V2-H are folded out of view in the Third View. The panels V2-C & V2-D remain intact for printing and may be two individual images or one single image.
The Third View shows the segments V2/3-A, V3-AA, V2/3-B and V3-BB in their entirety along with the four small panels V3-C, V3-D, V3-E and V3-F. As noted in View 2, the segments V2/3-A&B will also appear in View 2. The Segments V3-AA and V3-BB meet at the center line when the DigiFlip is unfolding. These segments are positioned apart from each other in the print file, so allow the background to bleed as shown.
The Fourth View is comprised of two images (panels V4-A & V4-B) and prints them juxtaposed. The bleed areas are shown on the diagram and explained below.
There are several ways to create the print image file. After you have created a few DigiFlip projects, you may want to open a print file and modify the images and text to your liking. To make it easier and faster, there is an action plug-in for Photoshop (version 6 and up) that will convert four individual Photoshop files into a one-page (8.5" x 11.0") DigiFlip print file.
To create the four files, just follow the instructions on page 1 and 2 and design four individual Photoshop files – one for each of the four views. Each file must be 3.125" x 3.125" at 360 dpi. You can download a Photoshop View Template from the DigiFlip folder listed on the last page of these instructions.Bleed Segments (All bleeds are 1/16")
If you are using a desktop graphics program (InDe- sign, Illustrator, CorelDraw, etc.) you can follow the panel nomenclature shown on the Design Guide and cut and paste (slice and dice) each segment and place them on your print document exactly as show on the Print Image Guide.
Most segments have a 1/16" bleed around the outer edges and others are cut (sliced) with a 1/16" over- lap of the image. The overlap permits the images to remain complete and matched when the panels are folded, even if the printer feeds the DigiFlip paper slightly out of registration. This overlap and bleed is critical if you have continuous tone images that cross over segments. The Photoshop action will automati- cally perform the proper cut and paste with the over- laps as needed.
Download the appropriate action file (PC or Mac) here as indicated in the appendix.
The action file must be copied to your "Photoshop Actions" folder. (If you have difficulty finding it go to Start > Find/Search > Files or Folders > type in Photoshop Actions, or you can search for the action files: *.atn.
After you have placed the DigFlip atn file in your Photoshop Actions folder, open Photoshop and display the Actions palette. (Click on > Windows > Show Actions) On the Action Palette flyout menu, choose "Load Actions." Locate and Select the DigFlipV action and Click "Load." This will place the DigFlip action in your Action List and will remain until you remove it.
Place the four View files in a folder named "DigiFlip" All Photoshop images must be flattened before using the Action.
Open Photoshop, Open the Action Palette, select the "DigFlipV" action, then click on Play. The action will begin and after about 1 minute you will see a new Photoshop file named DigFlip.psd with your print file. Do a test print on a DigFlip form to verify that the images are printing in the correct locations. If not, select "Print with Preview." Deselect "Center Image." This will permit you to adjust the printing margins "Top" and "Left" so your images print in the correct position on the DigFlip form. You may want to make a note of the adjustment as all future files that you create will need the same margin settings.

A Winning Team
One Sign Shop Rises Up and Brings in All Star Business
By Kim Crowley
Perhaps the owners of Crystal Clear Imaging in Harahan, LA should have known they'd be up against a challenge when they opened their sign shop on April Fools Day. Arthur Boisfontaine, Johnny Davidson, and Guy Keller started the business back in 1999. Just into their sixth year of business, at the end of August 2005, they found themselves in the center of one of the deadliest hurricanes in U.S. history.
As Crystal Clear Imaging and its employees faced the destruction of Hurricane Katrina acutely, things could have easily folded. Instead, a business molded similar to a family grew even stronger.
The Team Gets Back to Business"Following the hurricane, we had to completely reorganize," says Boisfontaine. "We all had personal issues to overcome with our homes and families. Most everyone in our organization lost their homes—including myself."
Within a week the owners got in touch with all of the employees. "Everyone was eager to overcome the adversity we were going through," notes Boisfontaine. "We were ready to get back to work."
Crystal Clear Imaging suffered minor damage, but was fortunate that some equipment was still operational. All over New Orleans and beyond, people and businesses attempted to pick up the pieces and reopen. "We advertised all over the city, 'Signs in 24 Hours,'" says Boisfontaine. "Within 12 hours, lines formed outside our front door. We housed our employees; therefore we just kept the business open 24 hours a day. We must have printed 250,000 signs in the first three months."
Within about five months business began to shift to more permanent storefront signs. Crystal Clear Imaging took on work from the casinos that were heavily affected by the storm as well. "They completely rebuilt the casinos on the Gulf Coast," notes Boisfontaine. "We did a huge volume of work for about a dozen casinos following the storm."
Getting in the GameA revitalized Louisiana Superdome reopened just a year after the hurricane, in September 2006. Crystal Clear Imaging's owners saw the reopening as an opportunity. "In the summer leading up to the opening of the Superdome, we decided to take a risk that paid off well for us," says Boisfontaine. "I thought with all of the work going on at the dome, there had to be some for us. We wound up getting the lion's share of the business."
Crystal Clear Imaging made an impression on a number of people in the sports business, and went to became the official sign company of the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Hornets, New Orleans Voodoo arena football team, and the Arena Bowl 2007.
All Star OutputCrystal Clear Imaging was recently awarded the sign project for the NBA All Star game held February 2008 in New Orleans. "We practically wrapped the whole city," explains Boisfontaine. The shop worked directly with sponsor adidas, design firm Flying Colors, the NBA, and communications agency Posterscope.
The NBA All Star sign project was viewed by all of New Orleans. Output produced by Crystal Clear Imaging consisted of hotel interior signage, stadium signs, and dramatic building graphics. Much of the work was photographed by Michael Palumbo.
Substrates used on the project include FLEXcon Corporation's BUSmark 3.5 mil opaque vinyl film, Oracal USA media with RapidAir Technology, and Crystal Clear mesh. Gandinnovations six-color and four-color five-meter machines with solvent ink were used to print the output. Finishing was completed using a CS-112 Cross Seamer—a hot air or hot wedge heat seamer and trimmer from Miller Weldmaster.
Crystal Clear Imaging and Extreme Media completed installation on the NBA All Star project. From submission to installation, the project took seven weeks to complete. "When it was over, I felt as if it took ten years off of my life, and 30 pounds in seven weeks. There was not much time to eat!" says Boisfontaine.
The All Star output created attention for Crystal Clear Imaging in 2008. "The response was unbelievable!" exclaims Boisfontaine. "People come up to me every day and ask if our company did all of the graphics for All Star. It is a thrill!"
Keeping the PaceToday, Crystal Clear Imaging employs a team of 28 in production and ten installers in their nearly 60,000 square foot facility. In 2007, they brought in approximately $5 million in revenue. A large part of their business consists of wholesaling to the trade.
The shop produces everything from banners to billboard vinyls, vehicle graphics, signs, and more. Printers used include two Gandinnovations Jeti 3000 solvent printers, an Océ LightJet 430, a Gandinnovations five foot by ten foot UV flatbed, a 54-inch Roland print/cut eco-solvent printer, and a 64-inch Seiko eco-solvent printer. The Gandinnovations flatbed allows the shop to print directly to rigid, flat surfaces up to 2 inches thick—including wood, marble, ceiling tile, and Plexiglas.
For finishing, Crystal Clear Imaging was the Miller Weldmaster Cross Seamer, a CNC router with MGE, Inc.'s i-cut cutting system, and a GBC Pro-tech Falcon 60+ for mounting and laminating output up to 60 inches wide. The shop also houses a complete sewing department.
To keep business growing Crystal Clear Imaging does a great job of promoting their business through networking, word of mouth, and online at www.ccimaging.net. The company's home page features a cityscape with interactive links that showcase the array of graphics solutions the shop offers. Also viewable is the shop's impressive portfolio.
Catering to the trend of multimedia and electronic signage, Crystal Clear Imaging added Dynamic Digital Display Networks to their offerings. The system consists of media players and plasma or LCD screens that deliver marketing content fed from their central server. They market the displays for use in sites such as car washes, supermarkets, casinos, transit systems, hotels, and elevators.
Other recent work produced by Crystal Clear Imaging includes a stadium redo for the New Orleans Voodoo. The busy shop is currently working on a project that will be installed at the end of March at the San Diego Padres baseball stadium.
Winning TeamStrong principles, effective marketing, and a true family atmosphere make Crystal Clear Imaging a winning team. "Our company and employees are the best! I have never seen a team assembled anywhere that is dedicated like ours," notes Boisfontaine.
When the business and staff were bombarded by natural disaster, they pulled themselves up, and drew the attention of major league clients. "We always say, 'Failure is not an option,' and if you 'want to survive, think big!'"

PCC criticises Evening Standard for Climate Camp investigation
The Press Complaints Commission has upheld a complaint from The Camp for Climate Action against the Evening Standard.
The newspaper had published two articles, one of which appeared on the front page, which claimed that climate change activists at Heathrow were planning to bring the airport to a standstill, through hoax packages and assaults on the security fence. The information came from an undercover reporter, who had spent two days at the camp and had overheard a conversation in which this action was allegedly discussed.
The Commission was concerned that the newspaper, in its front page presentation of the story, had failed to indicate to readers its insubstantial basis, which was an overheard conversation at an unofficial gathering of no more than four protesters. Furthermore, this conversation was denied by the complainant, which was not reflected in the piece. The newspaper had also inaccurately alleged that two-man teams had been seen looking for weak points on the security fence, which the Commission found to be a significant inaccuracy given the alarmist nature of the report.
Overall, the Commission ruled that adequate care had not been taken over the presentation of the piece, which was materially misleading and involved a subject of considerable importance to Londoners. This was a serious breach of the Code, which the newspaper should have recognised earlier and sought to remedy. The complaint was upheld on that basis.
The complainant also raised other points of alleged inaccuracy, in regard to which the newspaper offered to publish a clarification and a letter. The Commission which took into consideration the fact that the newspaper had been able to provide the journalists notes in support of some of the claims judged that these offers constituted a sufficient remedy to what were minor points of dispute. This aspect of the complaint was not, therefore, upheld.
newspaper today published the critical adjudication in full, with reference to
it made on the front page. To read the text of the adjudication, click

Getting the job done as quickly as possible was at the front of Angelique Kerber's thinking but the ninth seed surely cannot have expected to fight as much as she was made to in her two sets victory over American Alison Riske.
It was in truth, much, much closer than the 6-3, 6-4 score in 80 minutes suggests.
"I am just happy that I won in two sets, she played really well," said Kerber. "I tried to focus on my game and not the heat."
Riske, two and a half years younger at 23, will surely soar past her 53rd ranking this year if she matches her play and endeavour from Friday and this is by far her best Australian Open to date, two first round losses at Melbourne Park her only previous offerings.
She matched Kerber in commitment throughout, the players near identikit in physique and playing style - superb athletes each though the biceps not yet in the class of Serena Williams or the new Sam Stosur look - but patently neither player is a stranger to the gym. It was the German's experience and nerve when it mattered, though, that stole the day.
This should be Kerber's time. It's her 26th birthday on Saturday and in the past couple of years she has become something of a staple in the women's top 10. Her three single titles all came last year and in 2014 already she has reached another WTA final, in Sydney.
The morning began quite somewhat innocuously, Hinsense Arena's roof open once more and the brightness of the sun as dizzying as the heat. It was still.
The first set, 6-3 to the German in 32 minutes, was the warm up only. Despite their baseline inclinations, neither player showed an appetite for staying at the back hitting to and fro all day. Movement was first-rate on both sides of the net, the inclination to win the point outing any caution and despite the heat, both women will have been happy to be first on the order of play for the day.
Four, second-set consecutive breaks of serve were halted when Kerber crucially, and joyously, held serve to edge 5-4 ahead. A shout of "C'mon" and she carried her resolve through to break serve again to take the set and the match 6-4.
"She hit the ball very flat and deep," said Kerber. "I am really happy to be in the fourth round again."
Asked whether her choice, aged 13, to follow tennis over a swimming career made sense given the extreme weather, Kerber was adamant.
"I think I made the right decision and really enjoy playing front of you guys," she said without hesitation.
Italy's Flavia Pennetta in the last 16 is next to beat to reach her first quarterfinal in Melbourne.

NEW YORK - Rupert Murdoch is poised to win control of Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. after the company's board approved his $5 billion buyout offer late Tuesday, a person familiar with the matter said.
Murdoch will be clinching one of the great trophies of U.S. journalism and a newspaper that is considered required daily reading among the business and power elite.
The deal will also expand Murdoch's already massive global media and entertainment empire News Corp., which owns the Fox broadcast network; Fox News Channel; the Twentieth Century Fox movie and TV studio; MySpace; newspapers in Australia and the U.K.; and several satellite TV broadcasters.
The boards of News Corp. and Dow Jones have both approved the deal, a person with knowledge of the matter said late Tuesday, but this person asked to remain anonymous because the deal had not been completely finalized and there was no formal announcement yet.
News Corp. had said it would only agree to move ahead if the deal had sufficient support from Dow Jones' controlling shareholders, the Bancroft family.
The Journal reported that a key Bancroft family trust had reversed itself and decided to support the deal, meaning that votes representing about 37 percent of Dow Jones' shareholder vote were now in favor of selling to Murdoch.
A Denver-based family trust with about 9 percent of the company vote had been holding out for a higher price but agreed to the deal after Dow Jones' board said it would set aside funds to pay the Bancroft family's advisory fees, which could total at least $30 million, the paper reported.
Combined with the 29 percent of Dow Jones shares that are publicly held and very likely to support Murdoch, the deal appeared to have critical mass.
The deal comes as newspapers across the country face a deepening crisis of slumping revenue as readers flock to the Internet for information and entertainment, and advertising dollars chase them there.
The deal for Dow Jones represents the third time in just over a year that a major newspaper publisher has been pushed into a sale. Last year, Knight Ridder was forced to sell itself following a shareholder revolt over poor financial performance, and this year Tribune Co. agreed to a going-private transaction orchestrated by the real estate magnate Sam Zell.
The Bancroft family, which collectively holds 64 percent of Dow Jones' vote, was deeply divided over selling to Murdoch, and some members actively sought alternatives to his bid. One of them, Leslie Hill, resigned Tuesday as a director of Dow Jones as the final deal was taking shape.
Several family members, a union representing Journal reporters, and former board member Jim Ottaway Jr. expressed concerns about preserving the Journal's quality and independence under Murdoch, saying there was potential for corporate meddling in the Journal's news coverage.
German publishing executive Dieter von Holtzbrinck resigned as a director of Dow Jones two weeks ago after the board tentatively signed off on the deal, saying he was worried about how the Journal would fare under Murdoch.
Murdoch says any concerns about corporate interference in the Journal's news pages are unwarranted. News Corp. has agreed to create a committee that would have to sign off on any decision to hire or fire top editors at the paper.
Dow Jones shares rose sharply Tuesday on hopes that a deal was close, and were getting closer to Murdoch's offering price of $60 a share.
Deal timeline
WHAT HAPPENED: A sometimes bitter fight for control of one of the world's most prestigious media properties moved close to resolution Tuesday night as the board of News Corp. tentatively agreed to a $5 billion deal to buy Dow Jones & Co., owner of the Wall Street Journal.
DEAL APPROVED: Two hours after the board of Dow Jones began meeting, the Wall Street Journal reported that the board had approved the deal.
NO SURPRISE: The board's approval was expected because it already gave tentative agreement to the deal last month before referring it to the Bancrofts, Dow Jones' controlling family, for a vote.
WHAT'S NEXT: A general shareholders meeting to ratify the pact, with Murdoch expected to win if non-family shareholders vote overwhelmingly for the deal, as expected.

The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, located in the Dominican Republic has requested and received acceptance into the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church of North & South America.
In a letter from the pastor, Fr. Amvrosij Bozzo, the Orthodox people of the Puerto Plata parish asked to be canonically accepted into the Metropolia, maintaining their long ties to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
Father Amvrosij was originally a priest of the Kyiv Patriarchate, during the tenure of His Holiness, Patriarch Volodymyr, predecessor of the current Patriarch Filaret. Born in Italy, Fr. Bozzo was assigned to minister to the Orthodox people in the Dominican Republic and, after the death of Patriarch Volodymyr, became a priest of the Archdiocese of His Eminence, Archbishop Lazar Puhalo, senior hierarch in North America, of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church - Kyiv Patriarchate.
Wishing to maintain their loyalty to the Ukrainian Church, Father Amvrosij and his community have expressed their deepest gratitude to His Beatitude, Metropolitan Stephan and His Eminence, Archbishop Michael, for receiving them into the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church in the USA.
Metropolitan Stephan, Primate of the UAOC in the USA, sent his Archpastoral blessing to the people in Puerto Plata. His Beatitude stated that the parish's request is an important indication of the fruit of the labors of historical Ukrainian Orthodox leaders, who have left a lasting impression of many of the people that they served.
". . . We can never allow the efforts of our departed Ukrainian Orthodox hierarchs to be in vain, by compromising even the smallest detail of our spiritual heritage and religious freedom."
The Metropolitan emphasized this important connection, saying, "We are grateful to God for the opportunity to provide episcopal leadership to this dedicated and spiritually joyful community. The long historical connection between St. Nicholas parish and our Holy Ukrainian Orthodox Church was planted firmly, with solid roots. These humble and deeply religious people should serve as an example for our Ukrainian people everywhere, in maintaining loyalty to their church. The labors of our departed Ukrainian Orthodox hierarchs, can never be allowed to fade into history, as the church moves forward in time. One most important quality that Ukrainian Orthodox people must maintain is faithfulness to the sacrifices and hard work on the part of our late spiritual leaders, including Patriarchs Volodymyr and Mystyslav. They labored tirelessly to instill in the people, a great love and devotion to our Ukrainian Orthodox Church and the principles upon which it is founded. We can never allow their efforts to be in vain, by compromising even the smallest detail of our spiritual heritage and religious freedom."
Archbishop Michael, the eparchial bishop for parishes in the Americas and Coadjutor to Metropolitan Stephan, complimented His Beatitude's words by adding, "Now more than ever, our Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church stands as a bright beacon of religious freedom, void of the chains of ecclesiastical totalitarianism which most people in the twenty-first century rightfully see as oppressive and stifling. Our democratic theology of the church speaks more clearly to the minds of many today, who look to the church to be a living extension of the Gospel, not seeking to marginalize its members by using methods attained from a model of the church that is equated with imperialism and the subjugation of the faithful to the unquestioned whims of the hierarchy. We live in a free society, not the Byzantine Empire and the church should reflect the conditions in which its members live, not struggle to preserve ideals of power and religious terrorism, from a time which has proved itself ineffective, both in civil government and ecclesiastical structure. Sometimes, sadly, the church is the last vestige of a system that secular society has long disposed of as oppressive to people. Actually, by working within the boundaries of sobornopravnist, the church can ensure that it is more faithful to the teachings of our Lord, who did not envision his disciples as subjects to a imperial institution, but as the children of God, blessed because of their freedom to live according to his will. We assure all of our people, especially those in our new parish in the Dominican Republic, that the right of the people to Christian freedom, the ability to form one's own conscience in accordance with their faith, grounded by scriptural values, will always be served in this Metropolia. The voice of the people will always be heard."
". . . by working within the boundaries of sobornopravnist, the church can ensure that it is more faithful to the teachings of our Lord, who did not envision his disciples as subjects to a imperial institution, but as the children of God, blessed because of their freedom to live according to his will."
May God grant to Fr. Amvrosij and the parishioners of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker Church many more happy and blessed years in service to God and our Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church.

The European and American Collections
The European and American collections include objects encompassing a 700-year time period, dating from the thirteenth century to the present. These collections include paintings, sculpture, photographs, prints, drawings, and decorative arts that comprise about 2,500 objects in the total collection. Illustrated here is a selection of objects representing the cultural breadth and various mediums of the Museum's holdings.
The painting collection began in 1961, when ten Italian Renaissance works and four later European works were presented to the Museum by the Samuel H. Kress Foundation. Through generous donations and educated purchases, the Museum is now home to over 200 paintings, which include works by notable artists such as Altobello Melone, Paris Bordone, Jan van Goyen, Hubert Robert, Alfred Bierstadt, George Caleb Bingham, Grace Hartigan, and Thomas Hart Benton.
Though sculpture and decorative arts comprise a relatively small group of objects, some of the works included in that collection are Gothic and Baroque devotional figures, finely crafted miniatures, and luxury domestic objects from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, as well as twentieth-century examples by Max Klinger, Ernest Trova, Dale Chihuly, and Nam June Paik.
Finally, approximately 2,000 original prints and drawings form a collection that spans five centuries of artistic achievement. These represent a myriad of exemplary artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Rembrandt van Rijn, Honoré Daumier, Francisco Goya, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Mary Cassatt, Henri Matisse, and Andy Warhol, among many others.

Warning if you use Instagram
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 12-18-2012 - 11:20am
Instagram says it now has the right to sell your photos. In its first big policy shift since Facebook bought the photo-sharing site, Instagram claims the right to sell users' photos without payment or notification. Oh, and there's no way to opt out.
Read the full story at CNET News.
Will this change how you share your Instagram photos?
|Tue, 12-18-2012 - 12:11pm
No, this won't affect my sharing. Most of these sites have the exact same policy. Share photos at your own risk, I say. I think Instagram's policy is making news because of how big they are. In fact, they were just acquired by Facebook earlier in the year for $1 billion. As a result, they recently changed how Twitter displayed (or didn't display them, rather) Instagram photos within the last week or so that caused lots of people to get their panties in a bunch. I wonder if that big to-do has anything to do with this headline.

Data and Telecommunications: Systems and Applications
Author: Charles N. Thurwachter
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Price: $98 US
Reviewer: Derek Vadala
I have been looking for a book like this for a long time. While TCP/IP, Internet routing and Ethernet are well-covered topics, the telcommunications network that connects the Internet to other data networks, public and private, and to individual organizations and networks is often overlooked.
Many of us use dial-up networking, dedicated circuits (T1, DS3) and DSL on a daily basis, but it's not often that Linux users and system administrators are exposed to the physical or network layers of telecommunications systems. In fact, we're often forced to rely on ISP help desks and specialized phone company personnel who rarely grasp the big picture and are armed with only troubleshooting checklists. This book would make a good reference for any hobbyist or professional who needs to understand these technologies on a more fundamental level, although it might not be the best choice for casual readers.
Billed as an in-depth discussion of data communications presented in a way that is "understandable for students who have a limited mathematical background", Data and Telecommunications covers concepts behind analog and digital communications and the way they have been applied to telecommunications systems and data networks. Thurwachter begins with a concise introduction to the topic, after which he covers electromagnetic signals, metallic (copper) and optical (fiber) media and antennas. These chapters, like most of the book, take an academic approach to their topics. Because of this, I think many readers will find the book a bit inaccessible.
After covering the basics, Thurwachter launches into a fairly academic discussion of signal and fourier analysis, and amplitude, angle and pulse modulation and demodulation. Although the book prides itself on non-mathematical discussions of the topic, I found that mathematical concepts had not been replaced with thorough real-world analogies and clear high-level explanations.
Chapter 11 (multiplexing) will likely have the biggest appeal to readers who come from UNIX and TCP/IP-based networking backgrounds. It covers channelized T1 and DS3 circuits, as well as signaling associated with these circuits. Thurwachter follows with coverage of error correction and digital modulation.
Chapters 14 and 15 attempt to cover the OSI model and networking hardware. These chapters are better covered by Tannenbaum and Stevens and are clearly written for an audience without any networking experience. Chapter 16 on telecommunications thoroughly covers the details of phone-switching equipment and call routing, but it lacks a practical discussion of the topic. For example, in a discussion of 2-wire vs. 4-wire circuits, no mention of T1 being a common 4-wire circuit is made, despite the fact that it is a widely deployed communication link.
The book finishes with a brief discussion of networking protocols, but like earlier chapters, this topic is covered more thoroughly and with better clarity in other texts. While there is some good information in Data and Telecommunications, it's hard to find it in the middle of a book meant for students. Because of its hefty price, this book probably won't make a good addition to home libraries. But since it does contain some useful, hard-to-find information, I'd recommend buying a copy for the office and passing it around.

Great book !
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

An urban area is characterized by higher population density and vast human features in comparison to areas surrounding it. Urban areas may be cities, towns or conurbations, but the term is not commonly extended to rural settlements such as villages and hamlets.
Urban areas are created and further developed by the process of urbanization. Measuring the extent of an urban area helps in analyzing population density and urban sprawl, and in determining urban and rural populations.
Unlike an urban area, a metropolitan area includes not only the urban area, but also satellite cities plus intervening rural land that is socio-economically connected to the urban core city, typically by employment ties through commuting, with the urban core city being the primary labor market. In fact, urbanized areas agglomerate and grow as the core population/economic activity center within a larger metropolitan area or envelope.
In the US, Metropolitan areas tend to be defined using counties or county sized political units as building blocks. Counties tend to be stable political boundaries; economists prefer to work with economic and social statistics based on metropolitan areas. Urbanized areas are a more relevant statistic for determining per capita land usage and densities.
They vary somewhat amongst different nations. European countries define urbanized areas on the basis of urban-type land use, not allowing any gaps of typically more than 200 m, and use satellite imagery instead of census blocks to determine the boundaries of the urban area. In less developed countries, in addition to land use and density requirements, a requirement that a large majority of the population, typically 75%, is not engaged in agriculture and/or fishing is sometimes used.

In Australia, urban areas are referred to as "urban centres" and are defined as population clusters of 1000 or more people, with a density of at least 200/km2.[1]
In Canada, an urban area is an area that has a density of more than 400 per square km2 and more than 1000 people. If two or more urban areas are within 2 km of each other, they are merged into a single urban area. The boundaries of an urban area are not influenced by municipal or even provincial boundaries.[2]
In China, an urban area is an urban district, city and town with a population density higher than 1,500/km2. As for urban districts with a population density lower than that number, only the population that lives in streets, town sites, and adjacent villages is counted as urban population.[3]
In France, an urban area is a zone (aire urbaine) encompassing an area of built-up growth (called an "urban unit" (unité urbaine)[4] - close in definition to the North American urban area) and its commuter belt (couronne périurbaine). Although the official INSEE translation of aire urbaine is "urban area",[5] most North Americans would find the same as being similar in definition to their metropolitan area.
In Japan urbanized areas are defined as contiguous areas of densely inhabited districts (DIDs) using census enumeration districts as units with a density requirement of .
Statistics New Zealand defines New Zealand urban areas for statistical purposes as a settlement with a population of a thousand people or more.
Statistics Norway defines urban areas ("tettsteder") similarly to the other Nordic countries. Unlike in Denmark and Sweden, the distance between each building has to be of less than 50 m, although exceptions are made due to parks, industrial areas, rivers, and similar. Groups of houses less than 400 m from the main body of an urban area are included in the urban area.[6]
The Philippines has twelve metropolitan areas as defined by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) are Metro Angeles, Metro Bacolod, Metro Baguio, Metro Batangas, Metro Cagayan de Oro, Metro Cebu, Metro Dagupan, Metro Davao, Metro Iloilo-Guimaras, Metro Naga, Metro Olongapo. The most densely populated urban area in the Philippines is Metro Manila.
In Poland, official "urban" population figures simply refer to those localities which have the status of towns (miasta). The "rural" population is that of all areas outside the boundaries of these towns. This distinction may give a misleading impression in some cases, since some localities with only village status may have acquired larger and denser populations than many smaller towns.[7]
Urban areas in Sweden (tätorter) are statistically defined localities, totally independent of the administrative subdivision of the country. There are 1940 such localities in Sweden, with a population ranging from 200 to 1,252,000 inhabitants.[8]
The United Kingdom's Office for National Statistics has produced census results from urban areas since 1951, since 1981 based upon the extent of irreversible urban development indicated on Ordnance Survey maps. The definition is an extent of at least 20 ha and at least 1,500 census residents. Separate areas are linked if less than 200 m (220 yd) apart. Included are transportation features.[9] The 20 largest urban areas are Greater London Urban Area, West Midlands Urban Area, Greater Manchester Urban Area, West Yorkshire Urban Area, Greater Glasgow, Tyneside, Liverpool Urban Area, Nottingham Urban Area, Sheffield Urban Area, Bristol Urban Area, Greater Belfast, Brighton/Worthing/Littlehampton, Edinburgh, Portsmouth Urban Area, Leicester Urban Area, Bournemouth Urban Area, Reading/Wokingham Urban Area, Teesside, The Potteries Urban Area and Coventry/Bedworth Urban Area
In the United States there are two categories of urban area. The term urbanized area denotes an urban area of 50,000 or more people. Urban areas under 50,000 people are called urban clusters. Urbanized areas were first delineated in the United States in the 1950 census, while urban clusters were added in the 2000 census. There are 1,371 urban areas and urban clusters with more than 10,000 people.
The U.S. Census Bureau defines an urban area as: "Core census block groups or blocks that have a population density of at least 1,000 people per square mile (386 per square kilometer) and surrounding census blocks that have an overall density of at least 500 people per square mile (193 per square kilometer)."
The concept of Urbanized Areas as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau is often used as a more accurate gauge of the size of a city, since in different cities and states the lines between city borders and the urbanized area of that city are often not the same. For example, the city of Greenville, South Carolina has a city population under 60,000 and an urbanized area population of over 300,000, while Greensboro, North Carolina has a city population over 200,000 and an urbanized area population of around 270,000 — meaning that Greenville is actually "larger" for some intents and purposes, but not for others, such as taxation, local elections, etc.
The largest urban area in the United States is that of New York City, with its city proper population exceeding 8 million and its metropolitan area population almost 19 million. The next four largest urban areas in the U.S. are those of Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and Philadelphia.[10] About 79 percent of the population of the United States lives within the boundaries of urbanized area as of April, 2000 [11]. Combined, these areas occupy about 2 percent of the United States. The majority of urbanized area residents are suburbanites; core central city residents make up about 30 percent of the urbanized area population (about 60 out of 210 million).
In the U.S. Department of Agriculture's natural resources inventory, urban areas are officially known as developed areas or urban and built-up areas. Such areas include cities, villages, other built-up areas of more than 10 ac (4 ha), industrial sites, railroad yards, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, shooting ranges, institutional and public administration sites, and similar areas. The 1997 national resources inventory placed over 98,000,000 ac (40,000,000 ha) in this category, an increase of 25,000,000 ac (10,000,000 ha) since 1982.[12]

Investigation Into Shooting Involving Vilas County Sheriff's Deputy
Submitted: 07/27/2011
Vilas County
- Vilas County Deputy Sheriff Ty Peterson is a 12-year veteran with the department and the Vilas County Sheriff's Department says he allegedly shot a 20-year-old female relative Monday night.
Vilas County Sheriff Frank Tomlanovich says he's never encountered an incident like this during his law enforcement career.
Tomlanovich says Peterson was doing chores around the house when he thought he was being attacked by a cougar, one which Peterson had seen earlier in the day. Tomlanovich says it looks like a practical joke that went terribly wrong.
"He'll be either eligible to return to work or should some other action be necessary, we'll take those steps," Tomlanovich says.
The Oneida County Sheriff's Department is handling the criminal investigation.
Tomlanovich says he believes the investigation will be turned over to the district attorney for any potential charges next week.
Tomlanovich says Deputy Peterson is the department's K-9 officer and has a clean record with the department.

Authors' Notes
First time entering.
I wasn't sure who Mick Rippon was, so I went straight to the .xm section of his site, being a former ft2 user. I saw 'Claytons' and remembered the name, and sure enough it was one of the first .xm's I had on my computer back around 1996/1997.
I just found out that "Claytons" ( http://www.mickrippon.com/downloads/tunes/mr_clytn.xm ) was actually a new version / remix of "Arrogant" ( http://www.mickrippon.com/mods.php?tune=mr_arrog.s3m&t=s3m ).
I started this before the rules changed to allow using samples from the original piece, so I stuck to the samplepack with one exception. I highly suggest listening to the original, if you haven't already.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it.

The piano is nice and it mixes nicely with the organ. In general the beat sounds a bit too sharp IMO.
The distorted beat on the end is nice but I don't think it fits the song so well.
Comment by Marko on 2009-10-29 05:27:25
When comparing, I would say this version raises the melody more front.
Comment by Sonicade on 2009-10-31 23:04:01
The beginning sounds kinda scary, very appropriate for Halloween.
Claytons is an awesome track and you've done a strong interpretation of it with this track.
Feels jazzy with the piano with some rock drums for backup. I like the contrast between the piano and the synth portions.
The glitch portions were an interesting and creative way to go. If I had to suggest any areas to look at, the bassline felt like it could be a little louder.
Some parts felt like the low end could use more. Otherwise a very creative interpretation. Great job Irrelevnt!
Comment by Mickrip on 2009-11-02 00:33:33
This is an interesting take of the original. In some places the bassline in one key, the melody in another! Very atmospheric overall. I like the piano bits and how you've tracked the main melody. It's like the leaning tower of pizza. Felt wrong to me but you wouldn't feel comfortable changing it!
I wasn't 100% sold on the intro too muddy, but hey, the percussion saved it.
By far my favourite bit was the final minute when you introduced the distortion ideas towards the end. It grooved, twas very imaginative. Superior mix-wise.
Overall, I liked how you mimicked the interwoven see-saw of melody and atmosphere like on the original. I thought the new chords for the main melody were tasteful and interesting.
Thanks for the remix, it was very interesting and enjoyable listen!

1. De La Salle's Alex Padilla can deal. The senior right-hander, committed to Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, has ace stuff — an upper 80s (mph) fastball, 11-to-5 breaking ball and killer changeup. Pitching on three days' rest Saturday against Brother Rice, Padilla allowed three runs, six hits and struck out four during a 4-0 loss. The fact Padilla texted coach Mark Higgins on Friday to say he wanted the ball vs. Rice speaks volumes about the young man's competitive juices.
2. Sandburg's Big Three is dominant. Sean Leland, Bryan Pall and Matthias Dietz allowed a total of two runs during three games last week. Despite the pitching dominance, the Eagles failed to register the sweep. Leland and Pall guided Sandburg to wins of 8-1 and 8-0, respectively, over H-F, while Dietz suffered a 1-0 loss Friday to Lemont.
3. Brother Rice can't be overlooked in Blue. While many expect Mount Carmel, St. Rita, St. Laurence and Providence to slug it out for the top spot in the Catholic Blue, don't underestimate Brother Rice. The Crusaders don't have a flame-thrower in their starting rotation, but do boast a foursome — Mike Enriquez, Brian Musielak, Ian McGinnis and Ryan Kutt — that knows how to pitch. The Crusaders also have a fearless closer in Kevin Biondic.
