Coming Soon! Microsoft® Office 365 for Grinnell College!
Good Afternoon,
Several months ago Grinnell College's Information Technology Services embarked on a project to evaluate Microsoft's Office 365 service as a potential upgrade of our current email system.

The Safe Act one year later
ALBANY -- It was controversial then and it continues to be today.
On the one year anniversary of Governor Andrew Cuomo signing the NY SAFE Act into law many still question if New Yorkers are safer one year later. There are also still several provisions of the law that have yet to take effect.
The New York State Department of Criminal Justices Services reported in December of 2013, their latest report, 1,291 people were arrested under the law with 1,155 charged with possessing an illegal firearm.
Of the arrests, 1,041 came from the New York City area, a stat Governor Cuomo said "no one was talking about".
"(The law) made the penalties for illegal guns much, much higher which is something the gun owners were arguing for, for a long time." Cuomo said earlier this month when asked about the law`s anniversary.
With the stroke of his pen, on January 15th, 2013, Cuomo signed one of the most controversial laws the state has seen since same sex marriage was granted. There were critics then and there are critics now.
Many state legislators who opposed the law were republican. In the senate a majority of downstate GOP senators voted for the law while each of the 18 NO votes against the law came from upstate republican members.
"They (New Yorkers) are definitely not safer because of the law." said GOP Senator Kathy Marchione of Halfmoon. "Absolutely, positively not."
In the state assembly each and every GOP member voted against the bill including Steve McLaughlin of Melrose. McLaughlin was one of the loudest voices who opposed the law.
"It was the worst piece of legislation I`ve ever seen." McLaughlin said, Monday, on the first day of the new legislative session.
Once the law was passed one key provision immediately took effect-- gun owners were unable to sell or give away their guns that were once legal.
Since the passage several key provision went into effect throughout 2013. One of them was limiting the magazine size to hold just 7 bullets.
On the one year anniversary two other provisions will go into effect-- gun owners must dispose of their old magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and ammunition can only be bought from a registered dealer. One provision that has been delayed is registering the ammunition in a state database. The database has not yet properly been set up to track sales.
There is still one very big deadline for a provisions of the law which is April 15th, 2014 the day everyone must have their grandfathered in assault weapons registered.ry.

What help do you need?
What help do you need?
I think you have nor "burnt" the ISO. It is a common mistake for newbie to just copy the ISO onto a disk. "Burning" is a special operation which creates a Linux bootable disk.
Have a look at e.g.
I suspect that the term MATE means that this is designed to be a "MATE" to Windows
No. It is a Linux Desktop which was developed in Argentina. It is MAT-ey and not mate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MATE_%28software%29
Just use the Linux Mint disk and tell it, when it asks, to use the whole disk.
Normally in Ubuntu there is not an Administrator account. Normally Ubuntu works with "sudo" rather than "su".
There are different accounts of what sudo means, but one is "super user do". Sudo gives temporary Root rights for about 15 minutes.
If you know the sudo password all well and good. If not then you will need to reset it. Look at e.g. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
As with this post https://www.linux.com/community/forums/getting-started-with-linux/getting-right-linux-for-my-laptop probably Xubuntu or Lubuntu should suit.
It's not rocket science. Mostly it's not about which distro of Linux you should use, it's about whether you use a 32 bit version or a 64 bit version.
The Toshiba Satellite L300 has a dual core processor which means a 64 bit version would be appropriate. (But, a 32 bit version will still run on a 64 bit machine.)
It would be better to use a distro which is aimed at newbies, like one of the *buntus.
Since you only have 1Mb of RAM you might be better to steer away from Ubuntu itself and use something lighter like Xubuntu http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
or Lubuntu https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu
The *buntus normally come out anew every 6 months but some are designated LTS (Long Term Support) and they last longer. The last LTS and probably the one to get was 14.04.
What is the result when you put into a Terminal?: lsusb
What distro are you using? I have a slide scanner. It is just a digital camera/webcam in a case. Mine works with "Cheese". Try that, or a similar program, that takes a snapshot.
Ubuntu has a new issue every six months. Some are supported for a longer time, they are know as LTS - Long Term Support.
10.10 means 2010, October. It was supported until 2012, April.
Normally you can't upgrade say 10.10 straight to 14.10. You need to go from 10.10 through 11.04 to 11.10 to 12.04 to 12.10 LTS to 14.04 LTS...
There are too many things that can go wrong with this.
It will be easier to copy off all of your personal stuff, to an external USB drive, and then do a new, clean install.
Generally you don't need an antivirus with Linux. You might want to install a firewall in your machine, something like UFW (Uncomplicated Firewall).
Not free. Need to pay $49 (One off? A year?)

Photos: Ten hilariously unnecessary items from the 1950s
Number 4: Attention Austin Powers!
No, this contraption isn't just a big heater. It uses the power of infra-redness! And don't worry about all the radiation it might give off. You probably have enough children already.
Number 3: The can of shame.
Imagine the horror of someone coming into your bathroom and discovering a can of Aqua Net on your counter -- especially one that only costs 98 cents. But never fear: You can put one of these aerosol cozies over it, so people will instead think you're hiding a secret huffing problem, instead.

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Martyn Corrin | 9:05pm gmt 27 Jul 2009
Ian Bell averages 25.10 against Australia. He comes into the England team in place of a man who averages 50.72 against the same side. Ian Bell is not best known for his ability to cope with pressure. The man he replaces thrives against the best opposition and plateaus when confronted with medicore opposition.
Yes, Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen are not, perhaps, all that alike. So you would think that Bell goes into Thursday's third Test feeling the weight of the world on his shoulders. But he might not, you know. Because, all things considered, there has never been a better time to be stepping in for Pietersen. And as far as Bell is concerned, there has never been a better time to come up against the Aussies.
Pietersen, of course, looked a shadow of himself at Lord's, and it was no great shock when he was ruled out for the rest of the series. This works in Bell's favour. Can you imagine if Pietersen had hit two centuries in the first two Tests, and then injured his achilles and got ruled out? Now that would be pressure that you'd imagine Bell would struggle with. Instead he comes in with England one up and with no real weight of expectation on him. And on top of that, Pietersen didn't look in form, he didn't look set to plunder the Australian bowlers to all parts of England. If Bell does his usual, get in-look good-get out routine, it won't really result in much difference in terms of output from what Pietersen has done in the series so far.
The previous occasion that we saw Bell return from being dropped was back in 2006, when he replaced Andrew Flintoff, so he's not exactly unaccustomed to stepping into the big guy's boots in the England team. That summer, he scored three centuries in three matches, albeit against distinctly average bowling. What's that you say? No, I dare not suggest such a thing!
Thursday will be Ian Bell's eleventh Ashes Test match, yet you would expect he feels more relaxed than he ever did in the previous ten. Aside from the aforementioned factors, there is no Shane Warne tormenting him with the ball, and with verbals. Though I did hear a cheeky mention of the nickname 'Sherminator' during the last Test! Expectation has never been lower for Bell, it seems most England fans are resigned to him doing very little, and Australians are somewhat optimstic about his apparently inevitable failure. This is a great opportunity for him, he would do well to take it.

Public Health News Roundup: November 13
Study: Graphic Warning Labels on Tobacco Effective on At-risk Populations
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's graphic warning labels on tobacco products may be more effective than written labels at convincing less-educated, lower-income populations of the dangers of tobacco use, according to a new study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. This population is also linked to higher smoking rates and high rates of death and disease related to tobacco. The labels show graphic images of the results of tobacco use—from the effects of cancer to death. "Research on cigarette warnings in the United States and other countries has repeatedly shown that pictures work better than text," said James Thrasher, MD, an associate professor in the department of health promotion, education and behavior at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. "Our research supports this finding while also showing what tobacco researchers have assumed for a while—that warnings with pictures work particularly well among smokers with low levels of literacy." Read more on tobacco.
Clinton Foundation to Combat Health Disparities, Preventable Illness
The William J. Clinton Foundation's Clinton Health Matters Initiative is partnering with major corporations in an effort to combat health disparities and preventable illness. Beginning with Verizon, General Electric Co., Tenet Healthcare Corp. and NBC/Universal, the program will implement and support workplace and community wellness programs. The efforts will include free exercise classes, walking groups in poor neighborhoods, farmers' markets in underserved areas and smoking-cessation programs, according to Reuters. Read more on health disparities.
Cost a Factor When Doctors Choose Heart Disease Treatments
Doctors are increasingly considering the financial costs when deciding exactly how to treat heart disease, according to attendees at an annual scientific meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA). The AHA believes the annual cost of treating heart disease—the number one cause of death in the United States—will rise to $800 billion by 2030. Factors include rising costs of drugs and equipment; to insurance reimbursements; and changes anticipated under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. "We have an unsustainable economic model in healthcare delivery in the U.S.," said Elliott Antman, MD, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and chairman of the AHA Scientific Sessions Committee, according to Reuters. "We all have to be conscious of ways we can be more cost efficient, and that includes understanding what the big breakthroughs mean in terms of cost." Multiple studies presented at the meeting covered the overlap between quality patient care and cost. Read more on heart health.

Santa Barbara County health experts are helping those without a home this winter get better access to medical care.
Santa Barbara County Public Health is expanding its Health Care for the Homeless program. A report released in July showed 45 homeless people died between January 2009 and March of this year. The study has enabled the county to make some improvements.
Samantha Monaco is a recovering alcoholic.
"I was sober for 13 years and relapsed," Monaco said.
She undergoes treatment at the Good Samaritan Shelter clinic in Santa Maria. It's one of three shelter clinics run by the Santa Barbara County Public Health Department. This is the first time the agency has added evening hours for its homeless patients.
"They're either going to school or they're working other types of jobs, and they're not able to come to the regular shelter clinic hours during the day," said Dr. David Lennon, the program's medical director.
Public health administrators are working to expand medical care and reduce the number of homeless deaths in the county.
"TB testing, H.I.V., medication for helping detox, it's been really wonderful," Monaco said. "I don't know what I would have done. I don't have any insurance.
Public health experts say many people are aware of the clinics, but are reluctant to go due to mental illness or substance abuse. So, the county is adjusting its tactics.
"One of our recommendations was to increase outreach on the streets. Go to where we know people are and help them receive the proper medications and proper care," Dr. Lennon said.
The county hopes these clinics will eventually become a place where the homeless can receive total care for chronic health conditions.
"Maybe help less people die out there on the streets," Monaco said.

An inveterate vagrant who flirts with pictures and words, Tom Carter spent 2 straight years backpacking a groundbreaking 35,000 miles across all 33 Chinese provinces, and was named "one of China's foremost explorers" by The World of Chinese magazine. His first book CHINA: Portrait of a People has been hailed as the most comprehensive book of photography on modern China ever published by a single author. He is also the editor of Unsavory Elements, an anthology about foreign expats in China. Tom was born and raised in the City of San Francisco, graduated with a degree in Political Science from the American University in Washington, D.C. and has called China home since 2004.
Contact Tom Carter on email email@example.com or Facebook and Twitter
From the subtropical jungles of Yunnan to the frozen wastes of Heilongjiang; across the scalding deserts of Xinjiang and beneath Hong Kong's neon blur. Tramping through China by train, bus, boat, motorcycle, mule or hitching on the back of anything that moved. On a budget so scant that he drew sympathetic stares from peasants. Backpacking photographer Tom Carter somehow succeeded in circumnavigating over 35,000 miles (56,000 kilometers) across all 33 provinces in China during a 2-year period, the first foreigner on record ever to do so.
What Carter found along the way, and what his photographs ultimately reveal, is that China is not just one place one people, but 33 distinct geographical regions populated by 56 different ethnicities, each with their own languages, customs and lifestyles.
Despite increased tourism and surging foreign investment, the cultural distances between China and the West remain as vast as the oceans that separate them. Carter's book, CHINA: Portrait of a People, was published as a means to visually introduce China to the world by providing a glimpse into the daily lives of the ordinary people who don't make international headlines yet whom are invariably the heart and soul of this country.
Purchase CHINA: Portrait of a People on Amazon or direct from Blacksmith Books, Hong Kong
Unsavory Elements is an unprecedented anthology of 28 new, original, true stories from some of the most celebrated foreign writers that have lived in China in modern times. Westerners are flocking to China in increasing numbers to chase their dreams even as Chinese emigrants seek their own dreams abroad, and life as an outsider in China has many sides to it - weird, fascinating and appalling... We asked authors who have lived in China for a significant period to tell us a story of their experiences, and these contributions resulted. Edited by Tom Carter, this anthology falls under the genre of travel writing, yet travel is just the beginning of the adventure here.

The preliminary results of a European Union investigation sound like tax trouble is brewing for Amazon.
Privacy watchdogs in Europe say the controversial ruling, which affects only local European versions of Google's search engine, should be applied more broadly.
The United States Mission to the European Union says antitrust issues should not be "politicized."
Across much of Europe, people embarrassed by certain search results can prod Google and other search engines to clean things up.
European Union and Chinese government strike a deal to end an investigation into whether Chinese telecom equipment makers, including Huawei and ZTE, received illegal subsidies.
European Union officials contend that a Luxembourg ruling from 2003 could represent an improper tax shelter and thus require Amazon to pay back taxes.
The European Commission's competition regulator says something looks fishy in "selective" treatment of Apple by Irish authorities, and he wants answers.
Amid a tangle with EU regulators over how it displays search results, Google gets into a war of words with Rupert Murdoch's media giant.
After three previous settlement attempts, regulators say formal objections are the "logical next step" if the two sides can't come to an agreement.
In sharply written letter opposing settlement offer in EU case against Google, News Corp. exec says Google is stifling competition and exploiting its dominant market position.

My front row view of the elite women cracking the 14-mile mark; far as I could see, this is the leading pack |
Of course, this is how I look in running gear too |

When you play nine seasons in the NFL while starting 74 games, that's a fine little career you've put together. Even if you're a defensive tackle who recorded just 10.5 sacks over those nine seasons, and even if you were therefore a mostly unknown player to everyone everywhere.
That describes Anthony Adams, the former Bears and 49ers defensive lineman who officially retired over the weekend after not playing since 2011. But his time as a free agent clawing for work brought us one of the few actually amusing contributions to the "stuff ___ says" meme that was just the coolest about a year ago. In retirement, he'll be remembered more as an Internet comedian than a football player, and we're all better for it.
So fittingly his retirement video in which he shoved a microphone in his sleeping infant's face during a ceremony at White Castle featured plenty of lols.
Thanks, Larry Brown Sports

Previous Piece Breath of Embers: Art of Dragons (All) Next PieceLochArtist:Austin Madison
Exhibition:Breath of Embers: Art of Dragons
Art Height:8.0" (20.32 cm)
Art Width:10.0" (25.4 cm)
Art Depth:0.0" (0.0 cm)
Medium:Watercolour, ink
Dragons are infamous for snatching fair maidens from their castle towers. While it's true that maidens are a wyrm's favorite meal, they are far and few between. A plump aurochs is the most plentiful prey, particularly for the Draconis Dreadlochsi, or common Scottish Dreadloch. These plein air paintings, drawn on the spot in actual dragon territory, attempt to capture the behavior of the common Dreadloch in his natural environment. It took a while for the farmer and I to coax a dragon close enough to my easel for me to paint, but the art was well worth the work!
Inspired by Bill Watterson, Marc Davis, and Ronald Searle, the intent is to maintain a spontaneous line more interested in personality than perfection. Much like my previous work, the goal is to get a laugh, but also hopefully invoke some pathos for the characters. The food chain tends to be a common theme with past work, as well as blending the fantastical with the mundane.
Because of the sequential nature of my work, I invite collectors to consider "Loch, Stock, and Smoking Barrel" as one piece rather than three. Great care was taken to add small details to each composition to show the passage of time. These details are lost when the pieces are viewed separately. - Austin Madison

As the ACC's spring practices get under way, we'll be previewing the big storylines for each of the league's 14 (15, in this case) teams. Check back on weekdays for what to look out for during your school's spring practices and spring game.
Team: Clemson Tigers
Spring Practice Start Date: March 6
Spring Game Date: April 13
Following two-straight seasons of more than 10 wins, Clemson's suddenly in the national spotlight and a real threat to win the ACC and the National Championship (and maybe even the Heisman trophy too). But even as they bring back a strong group of both players and coaches, there's still plenty left to figure out heading in 2013 if they're going to live up to the very lofty expectations attached to them.
Offensive coordinator Chad Morris has returned for another year with the Tigers, meaning and he couldn't be stocked with a better weapon than quarterback Tajh Boyd. Around the senior, though, there's questions at wide receiver and running back, along with a gaping hole at center, formerly filled by NFL-bound Dalton Freeman. The odds-on favorite to fill that center spot is currently Ryan Norton, though he could also be challenged by redshirt sophomore Jay Guillermo. At receiver, Sammy Watkins will be called upon to quickly regain the all-world stature he'd reached as a freshman in 2011, especially without an experienced safety net to remove the pressure this time around. With Watkins at the top spot on the depth chart, Charone Peake and Martavis Bryant will likely take some time this spring to gain a better rapport with Boyd and prove they can handle a larger role in Clemson's dynamic passing game. The Tigers must also replace the departed Andre Ellington at running back, but can luckily plug his experienced backup, Roderick McDowell (450 yards, five TDs in 2012), right into the role.

This is a nice vegan cornbread recipe that is quite moist and really easy to make.
You probably already have all the ingredients on hand, with the exception of cornmeal, unless you use it on a regular basis.
The only thing I really use it for is to make cornbread so that's the only reason I already had some.
I don't know why, but the majority of the time I make it for breakfast and rarely as a side dish to a meal like chili.
This cornbread is dense in texture and not a sweet cornbread, but you could easily make it as sweet as you like just by adjusting the amount of maple syrup in the recipe.
If you need a gluten-free cornbread, check out my Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Cornbread recipe too!
5 Fast Facts About Coconut Oil:*
- super high in lauric acid
- rich in antioxidants
- contains natural microbial and antibacterial agents
- improves metabolism and prevents fatigue
- improves cholesterol levels
5 Fast Fact About Maple Syrup:*
- contains manganese and zinc
- contains 54 different antioxidants
- helps with inflammation
- 1/4 cup contains more calcium than the same amount of milk
- 1/4 cup contains more potassium than a banana
5 Fast Facts About Almonds:*
- regulates cholesterol and blood pressure
- energy booster
- loaded with protein, calcium and fiber
- high in antioxidants
- reduces risk of heart disease
5 Fast Facts About Apple Cider Vinegar:*
- anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal
- maintains proper pH balances in the body
- regulates blood pressure
- reduces bad cholesterol
- loaded with potassium
5 Fast Facts About Himalayan Pink Salt:*
- contains 84 minerals
- unrefined, unprocessed, raw
- promotes stable pH balance in cells
- controls water levels in the body
- aids digestion and facilitates better nutrient absorption

Where to Buy: If you have trouble finding any of the ingredients to make this recipe, you can order online from Amazon and have them delivered straight to your door and, you'll be supporting The Healthy Family and Home website at the same time!
Tip #1: This is a very dense cornbread and not a sweet cornbread, which I like. However, if you like a sweeter cornbread, just increase the maple syrup by 1 – 2 tablespoons until you get it to the right sweetness.
Tip #2: I usually use a round cake pan and cut the pieces in triangle shapes. Today, I used an 8 x 8 glass Pyrex baking dish and cut them in squares and they came out much thicker this way.
Tip #3: After you prepare the batter, it will be on the thicker side – as opposed to a thinner batter like a pancake batter or pre-packaged cornbread batter. Just use a spatula to transfer it into your baking dish.
Important Tip: Corn is one of the top GMO crops produced today. PLEASE make sure you use ORGANIC cornmeal when making this recipe or any other recipe that calls for "corn" or a "corn" ingredient. I purchase my organic cornmeal from the bulk section at Whole Foods, but if you don't have one nearby, you can order organic cornmeal online from Amazon. There is such little cost difference and it is so important to your health!
Tip #4: If you are not using a glass pan, bake the cornbread at 375 degrees.
Vegan Cornbread (Vegan, Dairy-Free, No Refined Sugar)
www.thehealthyfamilyandhome.com | The Healthy Family and Home |
- 2 cups ORGANIC cornmeal (non-GMO)
- 1 cup organic unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1/3 cup organic coconut oil (melted/liquid)
- 2 tablespoons organic maple syrup
- 2 cups homemade almond milk (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons organic apple cider vinegar (or fresh squeezed lemon juice)
- 1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Step 1 | Combine the non-dairy milk and apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) in a medium-sized bowl and wisk together. Set aside. Combine all dry ingredients together (cornmeal, flour, baking powder and salt) in a medium-sized bowl and stir until well combined. Add the melted coconut oil and maple syrup to the non-dairy milk mixture and wisk until foamy and bubbly. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. (The batter will be somewhat thick). Use a spoon or spatula to transfer the batter into an 8 x 8 glass baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 - 35 minutes. Enjoy! |

COIMBATORE: "Vanakkam, en peru Claire", Niyigena Marie Claire, a third year BSc (electronics and communication) student of CMS College of Science and Commerce from Rwanda in Africa, introduces herself before reciting a few couplets from Thirukkural during a Tamil language hour at the college. Apart from the Kural, Claire is also besotted with Subramaniya Bharathi and his poetry.
Claire is one of the many foreign students in the city who have taken to learning Tamil as part of their course work. Apart from the customary 'nandri', 'vanakkam' and the dude Tamil Lingo of 'macha' and 'machi' imbibed from peer-talk in the campus and hostels, Claire and others are trying not only to expand their vocabulary and but also understand and enjoy some of the classics, ancient and modern, of Tamil literature. At least 20 students from CMS take classes in Kural.
Of course, it is a tough task. "The accent and tone of Tamil is entirely different from our language (Kinyarwanda). So learning Tamil is a challenge for me," says Claire. Most of the students initially learn Tamil to converse easily and forge a friendly bond with peers and local residents. "All students learn basic Tamil during the second year of the degree course. Some show a little more interest in the language and literature and we teach them a few hours every week," says Pon Kausalya, a Tamil professor at the college.
For students like Purna Bahadur Pradhan, a third year B.Com student from Bhutan, the language classes has made the weekly visits to the vegetable market less stressful. He doesn't resort to sign language anymore with the shopkeepers as he now asks for thakkali, vendakka and other items in Tamil. He even tries friendly batter with the shopkeepers who often reciprocate cheerfully to his efforts to speak in their language.
Pradhan's friend Richen Dorzi says his social circle has widened after taking Tamil lessons. "Our local friends encourage our interest in Tamil which helps to get new friends," he says. "Learning an extra language is always a great feeling. It will definitely help us in a big way in our future," says Irakozo Divine, a student from Burundi. Interestingly, few among them have dared to explore the maddening world of Tamil cinema.

Olivia ADOPTION PENDING's Info...

Birthdate 11/6/12. Mother (Lilah) was picked up by Animal Control and she had 8 puppies four days later in foster care. Mother is a Labrador retriever mix and about 65 pounds. These puppies currently range between 10 and 14 pounds at 8 weeks of age. We believe they will be large dogs and they are happy, bouncy and love to carry things in their mouths.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Olivia ADOPTION PENDING, a Manchester Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

AudioScience Joins AVnu Alliance
Newcastle, DE - Mar 16, 2012 - AudioScience has joined the AVnu Alliance as a promoter member. The AVnu Alliance was formed to promote and certify the IEEE Audio Video Bridging (AVB) set of standards. It includes manufacturers in the areas of professional audio/video, automotive and consumer electronics.AVnu-certified products will allow manufacturers to have one standards-based network that handles all video, audio, control and data, while reducing costs and simplifying deployment.
"We decided as a company to focus on audio-over-networks many years ago", said Stephen Turner, vice president of AudioScience. "One of our mission statements is to support and promote standards that are in our area of interest. When AVB came on the scene, we watched with interest, noting that it was being developed under the auspices of the IEEE and that it had prominent installed sound and network silicon companies behind it. Being completely scalable and covering a variety of industries, we feel AVB is a contender for the holy grail of audio and video over networks and so have chosen to rally around it through the AVnu Alliance".

One Chase Manhattan Plaza
One Chase Manhattan Plaza
Chase Manhattan Bank Building
Structure in General
curtain wall
light gray
international style
commercial office
- Featured in the 1965 film "Mirage", directed by Edward Dmytryk.
- The sculpture work Group of Four Trees (1972) on the plaza is by Jean DuBuffet. There is also the 5-meter deep circular sunken well for Isamu Noguchi's Sunken Garden (1964), a water sculpture garden with basalt rocks imported from Japan.
- The complex spans two city blocks and uses the development rights from both. The office tower slab and five underground floors, occupying the Liberty Street side block and the adjoining block having an open plaza above two floors of banking space.
- Except for the central core for elevators etc., the only vertical supports are the massive columns outside the facade, thus freeing the office space from further columns.
- Construction started on 28 January 1957 and was completed by the summer of 1960. Construction cost US $121 million, plus the cost of obtaining the city blocks as the building site.
- Chief designer of the building was Gordon Bunshaft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP, who is also responsible for the famous Lever House on Park Avenue.
- The design is derived much from an earlier SOM project, the much smaller Inland Steel Building (1954-58) in Chicago, which pioneered the use of an exterior column system along with a vertically accentuated glass wall facade.
- The plaza is featured in the "Fun To Be Had" music video by Nitzer Ebb.
- First announced in 1955.

We are on city water, we are building a house with 2 extra large showers and 2 tubes. Its me, the wife and our 2 daughters. My wife really wants a softer so I sent our water off to affordablewater.com to have it tested. The house is plumb for a water softener so install will be easy. The problem is I talked to a local water expert who tested the water and said that we needed a 30,000 grain system and affordable recommends a 40,000 gran. Neither asked us about our water usage habits. Anyway I want a Fleck9100 sxt Twin tank. What size system should we get?
Your water test results are: Hardness - 12gpg

You can use tanks 8"x48" (0.7 cuft per)tanks, or could go to the larger size of 10"x54" (1.5cuft). Is your plumbing 3/4" at the softener? Have you considered a carbon prefilter? |

Leaving a trial
You can stop taking part in a trial at any time. You may decide to stop taking part in a trial if your condition is getting worse, you are finding it difficult to participate or you have concerns about the intervention. You can also choose to leave the trial at any time without giving a reason and without it affecting the care that you receive.
If you do withdraw from a clinical trial, the relationship between you and your doctor will not be affected; however, it is important to discuss your decision to leave a trial with the research team so that they can advise you about any other effects of leaving the trial and what will happen to information about you that has been collected for the trial.
If there are signs that the intervention in a trial could be unsafe, the research team or the regulators monitoring the trial will stop the trial. Also, if the new intervention is found to be clearly superior or inferior during the trial, the trial may be stopped to reduce the number of people who receive the less beneficial intervention.
After you leave the trial, your doctor will talk to you about other treatment for your disease or condition, if it is recommended.

Prompted by a fatal car accident that occurred last month at 115th Avenue and 227th Street in Cambria Heights, Community Board 13 is exploring ways to reduce what they consider an inordinate number of crashes.
District Manager Larry McClean and Clive Williams, the chairman of the Public Safety Committee, conducted a tour of the district. McClean created a rough map documenting problem areas to give to the police and the city's Department of Transportation. Williams said the issue is widespread.
"Vehicles would be coming through cutting a swath across Cambria Heights, across Queens Village to get into Long Island. And that has created, over the years, a very serious problem," Williams said at CB 13's monthly meeting on Monday night in Rosedale.
Earlier this month, McClean and Williams held a meeting with representatives from the DOT, the 105th Precinct and Queens Patrol Borough South. "They turned up in force and they turned up motivated to do something," Williams said.
An officer representing Queens South told CB 13 members she would be compiling a report on the accidents that took place within the problematic corridor McClean and Williams had toured. The DOT will be using the data it receives to conduct traffic studies and determine what traffic calming device may be needed.
CB 13 has a right to be concerned about car crashes. Two pedestrians were struck and killed in the board's district in the last several days. On Friday, a 50-year-old man was hit while crossing the Belt Parkway near Francis Lewis Boulevard in Laurelton, and on Wednesday, a 31-year-old man was killed in an a hit-and-run at the corner of Francis Lewis Boulevard and 246th Street in Rosedale, according to the NYPD.

Stephen King ponders ''Lost,'' ''Mars'' conundrums
I published a little paperback mystery novel last fall (The Colorado Kid) that was long on mystery and short on solutions. Many book critics took me to task for it. I wasn't surprised, but I wouldn't change a thing. I'm the sort of guy who's always liked questions more than answers, so sue me. And if they're questions without answers how many roads must a man walk down before he knows he's a man, for instance that's fine too. Here are some of the more interesting questions I'm mulling over this winter. No need to send me your answers, although of course you can if you want to, just as long as you're clear on the fact that there are no right ones. You have entered the Zen zone, Grasshoppah.
Let's start with a sports question. Is pro golf the most boring sport on television, or is there something even more boring? Keep in mind that watching paint dry on some home repair show does not qualify as a sport.
Another sports question that's been troubling me: If people don't watch NASCAR on the tube to see crashes, why do they watch? As Lost's Hurley might say, ''Dude, it's just take a left and go fast, take a left and go fast, take a left and go fast...for like two and a half hours.''
Why is New York-style pizza a big deal in Chicago and Chicago-style pizza a big deal in New York? Aren't you big-city people ever satisfied?
Is anything more depressing than hearing late-'60s, early-'70s counterculture anthems co-opted for TV ads? Every time I hear Led Zeppelin's ''Rock and Roll'' on a Cadillac commercial, I think my head is going to explode. Do advertisers think the boomers are still reliving Woodstock? And dear God, could they be right?
Is it just me, or does William H. Macy bear a weird resemblance to George W. Bush? Surely they're not...it's totally crazy to even think this, but...um...has anyone ever actually seen these two men together?
If Veronica Mars is so cheap to produce (compared, say, to the per-episode budget of a show like Lost), how can it be so good? And how come budget seems to have so little to do with the relative merit of TV shows? For that matter, why is Veronica Mars so good? It bears little resemblance to life as I know it, but I can't take my eyes off the damn thing.
Why is every single vehicle in Invasion always caked with mud?
If televangelists are more worried about getting into heaven than they are about life here on earth, why are they always asking viewers for money? And why do so many of them wear sharp suits? Do they think there's going to be a dress code in heaven?
If Mike Scofield from Prison Break were in Oz instead of Fox River, doesn't it seem likely that Ryan O'Reily would have made him his bitch after about a week?
Who's more annoying Mariah Carey or Crazy Frog? And if they got married, would she be Crazy Mariah or Mariah the Frog?
Is Sudoku the stupidest game to ever appear in newspapers, or what? Before you answer that, remember that the Sudoku frenzy is not only postliterate but post-arithmetic (no adding, subtracting, or other computational skills needed). If you can count from 1 to 9, you can play Sudoku. Maybe I'm wrong, but this adds up to a big duh in my book.
Is the Fatboy Slim video for ''Weapon of Choice,'' starring Christopher Walken, the greatest music video in the history of the world?
Does Jack Bauer have anxiety attacks? Does he wake up in the morning wondering if it's going to be one of those days? And why doesn't anybody ever clean Gregory House's clock? I keep expecting someone to say, ''Screw the cane, smart-ass, here's a little oral surgery courtesy of my fist.''
Is The Squid and the Whale the worst movie title of all time, or is it still a tie between Chu Chu and the Philly Flash and Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things?
One other question that's been troubling me since Rob Reiner's Stand by Me came out almost 20 years ago: If Superman and Mighty Mouse duked it out, who'd win? According to Teddy Duchamp in the movie, the answer's a no-brainer: Superman, because Mighty Mouse is just a cartoon. And yet I wonder. Both are fictional characters, after all, and Mighty Mouse is obviously smaller and quicker.
Some questions, even the tough ones, do have answers. Is Elvis still the King of rock & roll? Yes. Will Lost eventually come to a satisfying conclusion? Yes. Will the conclusion satisfy everyone? Don't be naive the geek factor in Lost's fan base is too high. Will Veronica Mars ever achieve the popular success it so richly deserves? Alas, probably not. Will Harry Potter defeat Lord Voldemort? There is an answer to this question, and it's probably yes, but only J.K. Rowling knows for sure. Can James Patterson write a book with 200 chapters in it, some only five or six words long? Oh, probably. When we look back at the first decade of the 21st century, which director's films will have made the most money? Easy Peter Jackson's.
Oh, and what did the Zen master say to the hot dog vendor? That one's also easy, Grasshoppah ''Make me one with everything.''

I've read numerous messages regarding this problem...obviously it's a huge problem all over the globe. My device won't even connect, much less start the update process. I've tried several times and have only been successful once, and I don't know how that happened. Has Tom Tom resolved this issue with a software fix, or is it still a huge problem? I read with horror the forum post listing about twenty different things to try...some of them I could probably accomplish, most of them I have no idea how to do, and would have to research each one just to know what to do. It's completely unacceptable to have to try all of those suggestions. It's going to be MUCH easier to just get rid of this thing and buy a different brand. Or just use my iphone map.
So does anyone know of an easy fix for my new Tom Tom, or is it going on ebay?
Hi Jeffadventure,
Welcome to the forum!
It is not a generally problem. Mostly the problems are due to the safety settings on your computer. Because many issues can cause this problem, there is no single and simple fix that could help.
Try to work through these instructions. They are written very well understandable:
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! I have a tomtom via 1530. I want to check and buy new maps but mytomtom says the GPS is conected, but the TOMTOM HOME says IS NOT CONECTED.... I tryed all.... resert, change configuration from 4000 to 5000, update my all versions... all I tried almost 5 times each... but still not working... could you help me?
I used this GPS in San Antonio, Tx and works well..... then on summer I travel to San Francisco, CA and never get a valid signal... I tryed at Union Square, at other places, at Palo Alto... then I needed to rent a car WITH GPS when I had my own.
I need to know if I can use this GPS, if its possible that works well.
18-10-2013 08:38 PM - edited 18-10-2013 08:43 PM
Welcome to the site
The Via 1530 WILL NOT connect with Tomtom Home you must use MyTomtom
Some more suggestions :- Hopefully they will get you up and running.
With the no GPS Lock
Try A Drum-roll/ Soft start :- press and hold your on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound then release the on/off button.
Note :- Some models also have a reset button for more Info see :- Drum-roll/Softstart
The first restart will take longer than normal
You won't lose anything; It's just like re-booting your PC
I use a Soft/drum-roll start as a matter of course after any upgrade large or small.
It's also useful to keep in mind for sorting out most minor niggles......
Help others identify useful content :-
- If someone posted something that was helpful? Click the Kudos button.
- If someone answered your question? Click Accept as Solution.
Also have you tried clicking on the button at the top of the forum page ???
World phone numbers to contact Customer support :- Phone-numbers.
Other ways to contact TomTom Support :- How-to-Contact-support.
I'm using Firefox v24.0 and I had to update My TomTom to MyDrive. Also had to update Adobe Flash to lastest version. Works like a charm ever since. HTH

CBS 2 - Search Results
SAC CITY, IA (AP) -- A Sac City man has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for sexually abusing four girls.
Court documents show 35-year-old Christopher Carnine received the sentence Monday in Sac County District Court on two charges of second-degree sexual abuse and two charges of third-degree sexual abuse.
The Sioux City Journal reports Carnine was ordered to serve two 25-year sentences consecutively, while two 10-year sentences will be served at the same time.
Carnine was accused of performing sex acts with young girls beginning in 2009. Two of the girls were under 12 at the time. He was also accused of inappropriately touching a 16-year-old girl this year.
Carnine must serve 35 years in prison before he is eligible for parole. He must also register as a sex offender.

As Philadelphia's legendary Roots Crew prepares to drop their latest album, And Then You Shoot Your Cousin, they give us another look into the project. "Understand" features Dice Raw on the hook with Black Thought and Greg Porn providing the lyrical content. Everything about this track is on point for me, from the beat to the content, this is everything I have come to love about The Roots. The album drops on May 19th and it is darker than Undun to me, if there is such a thing. Fallon's house band by night and still one of the most important hip-hop collectives by day.
The Legendary Roots Crew drafts Raheem Devaughn for the latest leak from …then you shoot your cousin. A stripped down track with Raheem's vocals taking center stage. This is like song you sing the day after your "Happy" binge, while nursing your Pharrell hangover. May can't get here soon enough, it is going to be a big month.
"So when the beat intensifies/I become emotionally desensitized/like once i slapped a rapper with mace/then i spit acid in his face after he rinsed his eyes/ no wait, I actually grew 5 times my size/grabbed Mase by the thigh and slapped a rapper with him/now that's practicing sacrilegious activism" – Pharoahe Monch
We are a week away from the release of PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, the newest LP from Pharoahe Monch. What better way to get people amped up than to release a track with everyone's favorite late night emcee? Few people can hang lyrically with Pharoahe on a track, and the same goes for Black Thought, so it feels like it's meant to be. They both bring their A+++ game on this Marco Polo produced funky track. Be ready for PTSD next week and remember Hip-Hop is alive and well, so support it.
On May 19th, The Legendary Roots Crew will drop their 13th album & Then You Shoot Your Cousin. A satirical concept album, &TYSYC, is rumored to be a bit shorter and "more dense" than their last conceptual album Undun. If "When The People Cheer" is a fair representation, then that statement is very true. The bass line, the keys, the drums, the vocals, and everything else on the track seems to exist in their own space devoid of the rest, then come together to create the heavy end product. Sonically, this track is very much in the same vein as How I Got Over, if you ask me, and that's a good thing. Lyrically, the Anti-Rap opera as the group is calling the album, is a pretty dope concept. Greg Porn and Black Thought each take on characters that shadow the general rap formulas used to sell records. The cliches lose their appeal though, something about the way these stereotypical verses are spit that expose the falsehoods of the rap game as opposed to glorifying them.
?uestlove & Capt Kirk of The Legendary Roots Crew are known in a very small circle in New York as Black Simon and Garfunkel. Last night on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" they took on Lorde's hit song "Royals".
When How I Got Over dropped, it seemed like every song on the album was speaking to me specifically. The title track did so especially. We got a lot of vulnerability from Black Thought on that album. The songs were personal, coming from deep within Tariq's essence. His lyrics tugged on the very chords which play my heartbeat. It doesn't matter where I am, I gravitate towards this album if it's being played. I lose focus on whatever is at hand.
1996's Illadelph Halflife is and will forever be a cornerstone to my life. I wish the video had the original subtitles in it, not sure why they took em out for the Vevo channel. The video is packed with hip-hop stereotypes and video cliches. Their video was meant as a diss to the turning trend in the music industry. Still a classic video.
I love hip-hop for various reasons, none of which are greater than moments like this. Another one of my favorite moments below, another Black Thought moment, this time with David Banner live at the Roxy in Los Angeles.
How I Got Over, was a solid effort in my opinion and "Now or Never" is certainly one of the stand out tracks. Phonte's verse here is the stand out, which is saying something on anything that features Black Thought.
