G Lab PB-1 Power Supply - universal power supply for all battery FX pedals, 8x fully isolated 9V DC outputs, power & power fail indicators, switchable polarization (outputs 4 & 8 - others centre negative). Solid powder-Coated casing. Includes cables: 2x 9V 40cm, 4x 9V 80cm, 2x 9V 120cm, 4 pairs PB-1 Velcro, 10x heat shrink tubes, 20x cable labels. Dimensions: 108 x 130 x 40mm
There are a heap of different power supplies out there however I find this one to be right up there. I have been using it for 2 years now and I haven't had any issues with it and it still has plenty of power. The biggest pedal I use it the Boss dd20 which is 250ma and its as quiet as a daisy. I also run another 5 pedals of it at any one time and have the unit attached to a pedal board which has seen some extensive traveling and plenty of bumps and knocks. I haven't had any trouble with it. The Pedals run silent and my A class valve amp loves it.
Okay, so this is an expensive power supply. It has great build quality and really feels every penny/cent the product it should be. It works great, but my first unit failed for no apparent reason after 7 months usage. The "power fail" light just came on one morning. What surprised me is that there is no mention in the manual, just what "power fail" means. I tested all my FX and they were all fine, so that was a blessing... so it did protect them in this instance by the look of it. GOOD NEWS... i returned the unit to Thomann and within a week they had returned a brand new unit to me without any problem at all. Really impressed and happy to come back here for great service. I have since bought a cheaper backup unit, just in case this goes pop again... but others have had many years good service from it, so maybe mine was just faulty.

This community was beautiful and we could tell the management really took care of the property and residents. Unfortunately, they didn't have anything available. However, this probably speaks to the quality of place that it is. No one wants to leave!

Krator Neso 04 Speakers: Inspired By Sydney Opera House But Made in Taiwan
While these distinctive speakers are inspired by the Sydney Opera House, they're actually made in Taiwan. I think good-looking desktop PC speakers are always a good thing, since they usually don't look like much.
At last week's CeBIT show, Krator showed a few different pairs of speakers. There's the Neso 04 Drop to the nature, the Neso 04 Surrealism and the Neso 2, which is handcrafted out of wood. The ones I like the best are the Neso 04 Opera House, pictured below:
The new models look interesting enough, though I wonder how good they will sound. Probably as good as all of the other desktop speakers out there, unless they end up being really expensive.
[via AkihabaraNews via CrunchGear]
Comments (4):
Nice pictures there, i like the design too!
woow, nice design, i like this…;)
nice speakers indeed, i would like to buy them so please recomend me shops or sites where i can get them
Where are you located? I can help to find out where you can buy Krator Speaker.

Carlisle Charitable Foundation (formerly Equest Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Through our mission, we promote the health and wellbeing of children and adults with disabilities by enabling their access to the area's finest equine-assisted therapies and programs at Carlisle Academy in Lyman, Maine, a PATH International* premier-accredited center. For more information about Carlisle Academy, visit www.carlisleacademymaine.com.
Carlisle Academy provides safe and therapeutically beneficial programs. Through the employ of PATH-certified instructors, paid horse handlers, occupational and physical therapists, and trained therapy horses in the Therapy & Adaptive Program, Carlisle Academy serves a broad population with a variety of needs. Services include Hippotherapy, Adaptive Riding, Adaptive Carriage Driving, Interactive Vaulting, Integrative Horsemanship, Veterans Groups, School Groups, Elder Groups, and After-School Programs.
In addition, Carlisle Academy is the Official USPEA** Education Partner, working to develop consistent and equitable educational programs for riders, trainers, judges, and auditors across the regions which facilitate the growth and success of Para-Dressage sport and competition.
Carlisle Charitable Foundation's roots go back to 1998 when the program was first established as the Equest Therapeutic Riding Center, co-founded by Nick and Sarah Armentrout on their Spring Creek Farm in Lyman, Maine. For twelve years, the program served the community with first-rate equine-assisted activities and therapies, providing services to over 500 children and adults with emotional, intellectual, and physical disabilities.
In 2011, with an eye to future sustainability, a new business model was adopted. Carlisle Academy Integrative Equine Therapy & Sports, LLC, was launched, building upon the success of Equest while expanding into new areas of training and leadership and integrating traditional and para-equestrian education. Today, Carlisle Academy continues to be an industry leader, providing exceptional programming, innovative curricula, and sustainable business practices.
Under the new business model, the Equest Foundation also was launched in 2011, maintaining 501(c)(3) status and assuming sole responsibility for the philanthropic fundraising mission. A year later, in a move to better reflect the unique partnership between the two organizations, Equest Foundation became Carlisle Charitable Foundation. Despite the change of name, our mission remains the same: to raise scholarship funds for disabled children and adults participating at Carlisle Academy.

Insights from our Editorial Team
Governor vetoes multi-faceted bill
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn this week vetoed multi-faceted legislation favored by ComEd that would allow the utility to proceed with smart meters. The bill also would change how ComEd's rate cases are handled, leading the governor to cry foul. Here's a look at ComEd's side, with links to the bill and news accounts.
PPL's AMI system led to morphing CSR role
New technologies, providing new data sources, can drive business process change. At PPL Electric Utilities, which installed interval meters nearly a decade ago, customer service reps have been trained as "trusted energy advisors."
Public conversations reflect outreach, engagement
One aspect of BGE's customer-facing response to storm-related outages is worthy of notice. High-touch, individual responses to every public comment on BGE's blog site reflected a couple best practices that can transfer to less urgent occasions.
Don't underestimate effort, value of outside help
Complying with NERC CIP standards and documenting compliance can cost utilities time and money. The alternative, which could be fines and bad publicity, is less enticing. Read this column for lessons learned from a leading utility.
Panel offers innovations in three areas
Managing your assets is all about safety, reliability and money. For three innovations in how utilities are getting this job done, read this column.
U.S. market cooling, more rational
Is an "overheated" market in smart meters giving way to a cooler, more rational market? Next year may see a peak in smart meter deployments in the United States, after which the driver may be regulatory mandates, according to one analyst.

LeRoy Nosbaum returns to navigate Itron's future
Late last week, LeRoy Nosbaum retook the reins as president and CEO of Itron, Inc., upon Malcolm Unsworth's retirement. Yesterday, he spoke with Intelligent Utility magazine's Kate Rowland about why he returned from retirement, and the company's plans going forward.
Public should know grid is vulnerable
A devastating storm creates heroes and villains. Both groups, of course, work for local electric utilities. They're the same people; it just depends on whether your power has been restored or not. We can do better.
Industry focus shifting to distribution automation?
An off-the-record conversation underscores the ongoing drivers for M&A among vendors. One is software, which is at the heart of the power industry's transformation.
Readers dispute assumptions, fear consequences
Utilities need to wring efficiencies from their systems and engaging the customer is one way to do it. Some say dynamic pricing that reflects the cost of producing electricity at, say, the peak of the day, will help. Others say "hooey"!

Dear SOS: Giuseppi's in Pismo Beach is a wonderful Italian restaurant popular with locals and tourists. The menu changes regularly to feature seasonal dishes. A couple of months ago, I ordered mussels in sambuca from the appetizer menu. It was delicious. There are only a few ingredients in it, besides fennel and sambuca. I would like to know the proportions so I could repeat this tasty dish. Could you get the recipe?
-Carolyn Ziegler-Davenport, Pine Mountain Club, Calif.
Dear Carolyn: Chef Giuseppe DiFronzo was happy to share his recipe for this simple dish. Mussels are steamed in a flavorful blend of fresh fennel, garlic, leeks, cream and white sambuca, the anise-flavored Italian liqueur. He recommends serving the mussels alongside plenty of crusty Italian bread and a cold glass of Vermentino or Albarino.
35 minutes. Serves 4 to 6
¼ cup olive oil
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 leek, white portion only, julienned
2 pounds mussels, preferably Mediterranean, scrubbed clean
1 ounce white sambuca
2 tablespoons chopped fennel, preferably wild
1 cup clam juice
½ cup heavy cream
Pinch chile flakes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1. In a wide pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add the garlic and leek and saute until aromatic. Stir in the mussels, tossing quickly with the hot oil.
2. Add the sambuca, scraping any flavoring from the base of the pot, then stir in the fennel, clam juice and cream.
3. Cover and steam the mussels until they open, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chile flakes, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve immediately.

Former HHS Assistant Secretary Joins West Health Policy Center as President
Former HHS Assistant Secretary Joins
West Health Policy Center as President
WASHINGTON, D.C. – July 18, 2012 – Michael J. O'Grady, PhD, former HHS Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, has joined the West Health Policy Center as its inaugural president. Launched by pioneering philanthropists Gary and Mary West earlier this year, the Center's mission is to develop common sense reimbursement and regulatory proposals that will save the United States more than $100 billion in cumulative health care costs within 10 years.
During his tenure as HHS Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, O'Grady was widely recognized for increasing the rigor of the Department's analytic and scientific work and ensuring that rigorous, accurate, and reliable data and analysis informed the Administration's decisions.
"We are delighted to have Dr. O'Grady join us at this exciting yet challenging time," said Gary West, founder of the Center. "With more than two decades of health policy and research leadership, Mike has the vision and the commitment to develop and translate into action the innovative, scientific, and realistic reforms needed to curb the out-of-control health care costs plaguing our nation. He will complement the efforts already underway by Rodger Currie, Senior Vice President of the West Wireless Health Institute, who is charged with implementing cost control solutions with policy makers," West added.
"Throughout his career, Dr. O'Grady has been instrumental in the development of key federal policies to tackle the complex and controversial health issues facing the country," said Dr. Joseph M. Smith, chairman of the West Health Policy Center's board and Chief Medical Officer and Chief Science Officer of (WWHI). "Mike will be a critical asset to the West Health Policy Center as it develops and advances policies that lower health care costs."
The Center's main activities include conducting independent, non-partisan research and analysis; convening and educating stakeholders; and advancing practical and actionable health policy. It is part of a larger initiative, including WWHI and the West Health Investment Fund, created by Gary and Mary West to lower the cost of health care.
O'Grady is one of the country's leading health policy experts, with 24 years working in senior policy and research positions in both Congress and the Administration. As the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, he directed both policy development and policy research and provided rapid, critical analyses of legislative and regulatory proposals.
Prior to his Senate confirmation as the Assistant Secretary, O'Grady held senior staff positions at the Senate Finance Committee, the Joint Economic Committee, as well as the Bipartisan Commission for the Future of Medicare, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission and the Congressional Research Service at the Library of Congress.
"Our nation's health care costs are rising at an unsustainable rate," said O'Grady. "Gary and Mary West have created a unique ecosystem to develop innovative and practical policy options that will slow the growth of health care spending to a level the American people can actually afford. That was an irresistible draw for me, and I look forward to working with the excellent team they have brought together."
After leaving HHS in 2006, O'Grady served as a Senior Fellow at the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago and a Principal at O'Grady Health Policy LLC where he concentrated on health policy research and analysis for public and private organizations.
He also served as Principal Investigator for the Cost Effectiveness team of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Continuous Glucose Monitor project. The clinical trial and cost effectiveness teams were awarded the 2011 Mary Tyler Moore and S. Robert Levine, M.D., Excellence in Clinical Research Award by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
In addition, O'Grady served on the Board of Scientific Counselors at the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, and is currently the Chair of the National Academies of Sciences/Institute of Medicine's Panel on Measuring Medical Care Risk in Conjunction with the New Supplemental Poverty Measure.
O'Grady received his Doctorate in Political Science from the University of Rochester. He will start at the Center on August 20, 2012.
The West Health Policy Center was established as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that conducts independent, non-partisan research and analysis, convenes and educates stakeholders, and advances practical and actionable health policy. A cornerstone of the Center is a competitive fellowship program in which five established researchers will be selected through a nationwide application and interview process each year based on their ability to identify at least $1 billion in actionable annual health care cost savings. The Washington, D.C.-based Policy Center is funded solely by Gary and Mary West through a multi-year, multi-million dollar commitment. The Wests also solely fund the West Wireless Health Institute and West Health Investment Fund, mission-aligned entities seeking to lower the cost of health care.

The flight was delayed 7 hours because of combination of Mechanical, weather, flight crew but after departing we had great service though it was now 2 AM local time. Smooth ride and easy arrival. Return trip was just as good though flight was on schedule. Airframe was 767 with Envoy class-comfortable but obviously not as one of the current modifications. Definately would select both the airline and service again.

Supreme Court Refuses To Hear EPIC Challenge To NSA Surveillance
Re:No surprise (227 comments)
Well, as I understand it (as an amateur watcher of the Court), EPIC wasn't so much attempting to "jump the line" as to force a decision on jurisdiction. There are other challenges to surveillance in other federal courts, but the government's position includes an argument that those courts have no jurisdiction to hear such challenges or to issue orders overturning/voiding actions of the FISC. EPIC's line of reasoning here is to try to constrain the government's position into arguing that no other court can review FISC, which would essentially give FISC Supreme-Court-like power, and hope that the Supreme Court, which tends to be jealous of its own power, would smack that down.

Please give me critic and review for my websitesorry if my website not too worth to review for you all I'm newbie after allthis is my websitehttp://www.homeimprovementdirectories.com/
thank you duderegardsSheila Gray
Hi Sheila. Welcome to the forums.
I wonder what the real aim of this site is. The first thing I notice on viewing the site it the Google ads under each main title, which is a bit turnoff for me. It makes the site look like an advertising cash cow rather than a site with useful information. And the opeining text on the home page is pretty banal, which doesn't help, either:
Home improvement is very much needed once in a while. Whether it is to fix some problem of broken furniture, ceiling, or some other problem, or whether it is for a change of pace. You will get tired of seeing something in the same place for several years. That is why home improvement is your solution in getting rid of the boredom. Not only that, home improvement could also be your way of channeling your creativity and art sense.
And other pages start with stuff like this:
Vanities for bathrooms become an obligation for every bathroom. It is designed with many shapes based on the function of it. There is wood, marble, glass or stone that you can choose for your vanities material. Nowadays there are a lot of styles of vanities that are offered such as the traditional style, modern style and also vintage style. ...
It would be better to put something really informative and challenging there, rather than fluff like this. (I hope I don't seem to harsh! I'm trying to be constructive. ) But anyone interested in home improvement wants to cut to the chase and get some useful info. The first few paragraphs I read on various pages was of no use, which means I won't hang around long.
thank you for the constructive critic ralph, I will improve my writing skill and my knowledge at home improvement things...I love to learn
This is a good job for a newbie Keep trying to improve and you'll be past newbie stage in no time.One thing that really sticks out for me is the width of the content div. Perhaps widen it as it seems very narrow. As a guide, the optimal length of a line of text is about 66 characters. Good luck
thanks a lot PicNet, i'm still so green at the world of internet, i don't understand web design and the other stuff about coding....thank you for the critic about the page content design, I hope i can do something about this^^
More attention to detail as the choice of font that will be very good!
thank you, but it's the matter for me because i don't understand the web design at all...:)
you can add solar panel,gardening,interior.....to look better
Its quite good for a newbie i must admit.Reminds me of decent newspaper websites (which is good)
There are few problems though, mostly usability — too little content appears on the screen and its hard to grasp whats going on.— Make it 960px scaling to 1280 on bigger monitors— Need at least 2-3 rows of content and organize content better. See http://www.time.com/time/ — notice those featured articles, editors picks, featured headlines, lots of small images etc. It makes it easier and more fun to navigate— Dont start your main content block with adwords it makes user a sad panda really
Who says its not worth it. Actually its too good . nice tips.
You're using wordpress you can find much better theme for your website, more then this you can find a lot of responsive design themes. Look you got only 390px for contect (you got small pics and it's so uncomfortable to read) and you got 2 useless sidebars with info that is not necessary. Your theme should be easy to read and navigate. Don't copy contect to footer. Don't forget social sharing buttons on each article, you can find them as a wordpress plugin. If you got some questions feel free to pm me.
The idea is to find new and creative ways of home improvement that is best possible through mutual discussion and consultation. I am of the belief that this kind of forum is very helpful in expanding one's horizon about home improvement
The header is far to plain in my opinion. A logo and banner design would go really well with this site and of course I am sure you are in the process of building a lot more content as it is really quite lacking on content for the kind of site this is. Personally I came up with an idea for your home page and you might think it a good idea also. Envision your front page being a layout of a property and as you hover over the room labelled "bedroom" for example, you get directed to you bedroom section. I think this would be an awesome second form of navigation on your site and would really make it interesting.P.s. This was a genuine idea and not something I have seen before so I do not know if anyone else is playing with this little idea.
I think that you did a very good job for beginner at web design. Here are some tips to improve your website: First of all your webpage should be bigger in width because there is too much empty space. Another point is that you need a good, big and really attractive logo for your brand name, it is something important for your design.Furthermore, I don't really like your google adsense advertisement (and every advertisement) in the top and central of your page, it is the first think that the visitor can see. For me is bad impression, because it is better to promote your content than your advertisements. If a visitor like your content and website then he or she will stay more and see the advertisement and maybe click on advertisements. So, keep walking, you did a really nice job as a new webmaster and you learn more and finally can do more and better.
Some of us use to read articles, others, just look at images, logos and ads...In my opinion, the content is most important thing.Nice job. I enjoyed to read your tips.
Good luck.
To do well on the internet requires software and how to use it. It is very difficult to do the required tasks manually.First you need a good HTML editor (better combination HTML and CSS). Then you need to build a template or obtain onefor the site (best a CSS template) many free ones available. Then add HTML content. If you will be working withpictures or images, you will need a good photo editor. Then you will need a good website analyzer to check the website.Also a good accessibility corrector (or editor) helps. Then analytics to analyze traffic. You can start with free ones then after you know your needs, upgrade to the commercial ones.My site was made and maintained with free software. It has obtained 1st page Google. You can do the same.Do not underestimate the value of free software (for those who are not affluent). Software is expensive.-a free HTML Editor Alleycodehttp://alleycode.com/ (you need to scroll to the bottom of the page to get past the advertisements, very annoying).a free Photo Editor Photo Pos Prohttp://photopos.com/It has more ability than you would expect-hope this helpsfalcon
"Home improvement Tips and Tricks" is very useful for internet users. What you need to do - You just update your blog regular basis.
I really like the layout. Great Job. Keep it up.
There are showing only google ads.You have pasted google adsense code 04 times in your home page .This is not user friendly.This shows that you actual aim is just for click on ads and earning money.
Hello Sheila,
First of all I'd like to say that every website is good enough to review, everybody has to learn.Also I will write this review before reading the other comments to make sure it's my independent feedback.
The first thing you could work on is the lay-out/design- Content and Ads are mixed together, it's hard to see what you need to read and what you need to avoid.I imagine you have set it up that way to make money. But I assure you if you make it look better people will trust it more and you will make more.
The second thing you could work on is the typography- Your posts are not always written according to the rules of good typography. Maybe learn a bit about this. It's important because your writing is your content and it will represent you website.
I hope this helped you a bit, Milan

COLUMBIA, Mo. - The Nebraska softball team claimed a 2-1 win over Kansas Saturday night in game five of the NCAA Columbia Regional Saturday at University Field. With the win, Nebraska (42-16) advances to face host Missouri for the regional championship Sunday at Noon. A win by the Huskers tomorrow would force a second game at 2:30 p.m. in a winner-take-all contest. Kansas (34-23) was eliminated from the tournament with the loss.
Husker P Emily Lockman pitched 4.1 innings to earn the win and improve to 19-4 on the year.
After two scoreless innings, the Huskers struck first with a run in the top of the third. A double down the left field line from 2B Hailey Decker scored LF Kat Woolman from first, giving Nebraska the 1-0 advantage.
The Cornhuskers capitalized on a Jayhawks miscue in the top of the fourth to take a 2-0 lead. A single from C Taylor Edwards, followed by an error by Kansas P Alicia Pille on a dribbler to the mound, put runners on second and third with no one out for Nebraska. The Jayhawks recorded two straight outs but 1B Dawna Tyson singled through the left side to drive in Edwards and put the Huskers on top, 2-0.
In the bottom of the fifth, Kansas got a run back after 3B Chanin Naudin hit a leadoff double and was driven in on a single from DP Taylor Dodson. The Jayhawks had a chance to put more runs on the board with runners on first and second but Nebraska P Tatum Edwards struck out consecutive batters to end the inning.

That's pretty much it besides cream and a purplish mauve but there are combinations of the above colors and different shades of purple. Jack has been crossing dats and has come up with some pretty blooms. Look for a post called "Datura Lovers" from a few months ago. |

Subdomain Hosting // Godaddy
hey everyone.. My friend and I just bought a domain at godaddy.com, and we're kinda confused with how many subdomains we can make and host..
We're confused because it says that we could host 10 subdomains, and 100 forward subdomains..
We don't get what this "forward subdomain" is..
At Godaddy, the FAQ says:
What does it mean to forward to my hosting subdirectory?
Forwarding to your hosting subdirectory allows you to split your hosting account into smaller sections. You could divide your hosting account and dedicate different subdirectories to different products. Now you can share your hosting account between your main domain name and your subdirectories. This type of forwarding is already masked.
Forwarding to another location allows you to forward a sub-domain to any URL of your choice. For example, you can have subdomain1.domain.com forward to http://www.anotherdomain.biz.
Is it like redirecting a sub-domain name to a whole different URL? thank you very much!

Rayz Notebook: 12.09.06
NO-GOALS ANGER McRAE
The Rayz got two points, but coach Ken McRae wasn't so sure Rio Grande Valley should've gotten one after Corpus Christi had two apparent goals disallowed in regulation.
The first happened at 14:21 of the first period, when the Rayz appeared to knock the puck in during a goal-mouth scrum, only to have referee Paul DePuydt rule that the Killer Bees had touched the puck for a delayed penalty.
Then at 6:28 of the third period, Jason Baird pounced on a loose puck in the slot and appeared to roof a shot over goalie Jeff Van Nynatten and under the crossbar for a 3-2 lead. The goal light came on, but DePuydt made no signal and then engaged in a lengthy conversation with the goal judge before ruling no goal, leaving McRae dumbfounded behind the bench.
"Basically, (DePuydt) told me that the goal judge wasn't sure if it went in," McRae said. "He put the light on. I've got to see the video, but for me, where that puck hit and where it came back out between the goalie's legs with no sound (of the crossbar being hit), to me, that's in the net. I think (the Bees) even knew it was in the net. The only guy that didn't was the goal judge after the fact. None of the three (officials on the ice) saw it. The goal judge turns the light on, and then changes the call. Take it as you will."

The U.S. Census Bureau derived the total, Hispanic, and black populations for 2000 and 2010 from direct counts. Approximating their evolution with linear models, one can obtain estimates for any non-census year and, most important, the 2002–11 averages: total (299.2 million), Hispanic (45.2 million), and black (37.4 million). Surveys indicate that around 3.5 percent of American adults identify as homosexual or bisexual; applying this percentage to the total population gives a 2002–11 average of 10.5 million. Two studies have pegged the number of American Jews at about 6.5 million in 2010. Figures for 2000 vary (5.3–6.2 million), so for simplicity we set the average Jewish population between 2002 and 2011 at 6.2 million to account for moderate growth. As for Muslims, whose population estimates have a convoluted history, reputable recent numbers have been provided by the Pew Research Center (2.75 million in 2011) and the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies (2.6 million in 2010; full data extractable here), which agree on the current size and growth rate (around 100,000 per year). The 2002–11 average is roughly 2.3 million Muslims.
With hate crimes befalling Muslims far less often than they do Jews or homosexuals and bisexuals and slightly less often than they befall blacks, it is clear that anti-Muslim incidents are disproportionate to those targeting other minorities only in terms of the hype generated on their behalf. A closer look reinforces this conclusion.
First, despite claims about a surge of prejudice, anti-Muslim hate crimes in 2010 and 2011 merely returned to the typical post-9/11 (2002–06) pace of 150–160 incidents per year. Further, a similar number of hate crimes in 2002 and 2011 implies a lower per capita rate in 2011 because of strong population growth.
Second, what of the Muslim-population estimate? In hopes of inflating their presumed clout, Islamist groups routinely assert the existence of around 7 million American Muslims, three times as many as the more objective measurements. Note, however, that this Islamist-promoted figure actually would weaken their narrative of anti-Muslim hate crimes, because a higher population reduces the per capita frequency, thus painting them as even less significant in a statistical sense.
Third, though 2001, whose rash of hate crimes against Muslims was an outlier tied to a unique event, has been excluded from the above analysis, the 2001–11 rate for Muslims was just 7.4 incidents per 100,000 per year, still far short of that applying to Jews or homosexuals and bisexuals. Self-pitying Islamists also want us to forget that in spite of 9/11-related anger, anti-Jewish hate crimes outnumbered anti-Muslim hate crimes that year by more than two to one.
Fourth, could incomplete data affect the finding that Muslims are victimized less often than many non-Muslim minorities? Theoretically, yes, but evidence for this is scant. SPLC talking heads regularly cite a 2005 Justice Department study, using surveys of victims' perceptions of whether prejudice had motivated crimes against them, to argue that the FBI underestimates overall hate crimes by an order of magnitude. Yet even if those claims are valid, nothing suggests that anti-Muslim crimes are more or less likely to be ignored than others, which would be necessary to alter the relative frequencies of hate crimes against different groups. Another source of incompleteness is that not all local law-enforcement agencies take part in the FBI's tabulation, but once again there is no obvious bias here that would preferentially diminish hate crimes against Muslims. Also note that the percentage of participating agencies (see the FBI's Table 12) is large and slowly climbing, covering 86 percent of the U.S. population in 2002 and 92 percent in 2011, meaning that improved reporting could have helped elevate the number of FBI-recorded hate crimes in later years. Although this impact is probably small, it further chips away at the meme of rising hate.

Billings School District 2 principals and administrators can no longer use vacation days during the school year, the board voted Tuesday night.
The changes are part of a new benefits package crafted for SD2 administrators by Superintendent Keith Beeman. The change was an effort to reduce the amount of money the district pays out in unused vacation days and to ensure that administrators are in their buildings during the school year.
The board voted 7-2 to make the change. Trustees Travis Kemp and Pam Ellis voted against it.
"It's not solely about money," Beeman said.
The change would freeze the number of vacation days that current administrators have accrued with the maximum allowed being 60. New administrators hired this summer and afterward would have no vacation days.
Under the new policy, administrators are contractually obliged to be on the job throughout the school year. By the same token, they are contractually obligated to be off the job — or on vacation — during the summer.
By reducing and eventually removing vacation days, SD2 removes its obligation to pay employees for their unused time when they leave the district. That will save the district hundred of thousands of dollars, Beeman said.
If administrators have events or commitments that they want to attend during the school year, under the new policy they will have five personal days they can use, which come out of their sick leave.
"I do understand that changes can be unsettling," Beeman said. But he said that he's confident the results will improve the district.
It was an emotional discussion. At the meeting were a large number of the district's principals, many reacting to the board discussion with guffaws or bewilderment.
None would go on the record about their opinions of the change, and many left the meeting visibly upset.
"I know there's pain with change," trustee Teresa Stroebe said. "But I think it's important to do this."
Also included in the new policy is an annual requirement for performance evaluations of the administrators.
Beeman said one SD2 high school principal has never had a job evaluation.
"That's something that's not acceptable," Beeman said.
The policy also requires administrators to supply their own cell phones with the district paying a stipend to help them cover their costs.
Removing district cell phones would save the district $80,000 a year, Beeman said.
With a finalized budget now approved by the Legislature, trustees were able to begin making decision about where to cut and where to spend.
To get into compliance with the state Office of Public Instruction, trustees voted to hire a librarian and school counselor for the elementary schools.
They also voted to go after $5.6 million in federal bonds for facility improvements in the elementary school district.
Under the deal, taxpayers would pay a third of the $5.6 million.
Along with the bond, they'll go after a $1.5 million technology levy for the elementary schools.
Both will go before voters this fall.
In making those decisions, trustees decided not to pursue with voters two general fund mill levies for the elementary and high school districts.
"We're not going to pass three levies and a bond," Chairwoman Barbara Bryan said.

Start-ups' Early Sales Don't Guarantee Success
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Start-up technology firms often fail because they consider the first commercial milestone -- paying customers -- a determinant of long-term success. The actual sale to a prospect that is enthusiastic about a new technology is an incredible (and credibility-building) event, but it is not a signal mainstream customers are ready to adopt a technology. Think about the Sony (SNE - Get Report) Betamax, which had early sales and some adoption in the marketplace but was beaten by the VHS standard.
ENCOUNTERING THE GAP The real revenue stream for most innovative technology firms resembles Morse code. There's an initial singular sale ... dot. Then nothing. Work a little more, achieve another sale and maybe a few more ... dot, dash, dot. Then, before you know it ... nothing.
Traditional wisdom says the lack of sales after winning an initial group of customers is attributable to the failure -- the laziness or incompetence -- of the sales and marketing team. If they knew what they were doing, the story goes, customers would be buying.
Reality check: Innovative technologies rarely, if ever, experience continuous sales growth after initial sales. In fact, reliance on those first sales as indicators of the market will result in a sales pattern that resembles dot dot dot, dash dash dash, dot dot dot ... SOS. A high-tech company and its investors counting on a continuous sales stream can often be doomed by their own "success."
High-tech, innovative products typically attract other techies, early adopters and innovators willing to put up with the bugs, learning curve and investment (in time and money) required to adopt them. These groups want to be cutting-edge and ahead of the mainstream adoption curve. As a high-tech startup, if you are lucky, you'll connect with an early adopter (hopefully with big project dollars) who can make, or at least influence, the direction of his company to try or pilot your technology. These tech explorers can lay the foundation for a market entry, but they are more valued for their ability to debug, pilot and understand a product in the real world than they are as a sales barometer. BUILDING A BRIDGE While techies can talk up a start-up's innovation and products to peers and others in their sphere of influence, they do not hold sway with the mainstream market, where the real money traditionally is made. The mainstream market requires ease of adoption, lower costs and certainty the investment will provide value. Because they want most (if not all) the risk of adoption worked out, mainstream buyers are last to the market to buy. While Apple (AAPL - Get Report) is able to leap into the mainstream with its iPad and iPhone, its Newton personal digital assistant never got far beyond early adopters after its release in 1993. Despite five years of effort and improvement over the first, clumsy interface, and a decade building innovative desktop and laptop computers, Apple never overcame the Newton's reputation as expensive and hard to use. The gap between the first cluster of sales and mainstream buyers can be bridged by understanding the behaviors and characteristics of each group. Start-ups won't succeed without the initial techie adopter excitement and participation, but mainstream success is only achievable when companies can take what they learn from early adopters and use that information to pave the way for mainstream users -- and profitability. Where techies rave about the technology, the early majority buy on value, and a company must manage that relationship and their expectations. Improving performance and results is the bridge between the techie and mainstream decision-makers, and the alternative is falling off a cliff. Proceed with caution and your company and product may just become mainstream ... eventually. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com TheStreet.com on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

Halsey Herreshoff will turn 81 in September. He is still designing boats, as his grandfather Nathanael Greene Herreshoff did starting in 1865. The Herreshoff Marine Museum and America's Cup Hall of Fame at 1 Burnside St., Bristol, has 60 boats in its collection — all Herreshoff designed.
In 1859, Nathanael, 11 years old at the time, and his brother, John Brown Herreshoff, 17, sailed to New York City to view the Great Eastern, a large iron sailing steamship. The company built day sailers, naval craft for war and steam yachts. They also built brilliant creations that distinguished the Herreshoffs in the world for yacht races.
Halsey sailed in four defenses for the America's Cup. In the boathouse is Pleasure, built in 1924, by the Haffenreffers, who had bought the Herreshoff business in 1914 and gave the boat to Nathanael in 1925. The Haffenreffers closed the business in 1948 after they finished WWII war production.
Widgeon, the Herreshoff S Class, was the sixth one built between 1919-1920. More than 100 Herreshoff S Class boats were built between 1919-1943. They still race on Narragansett Bay today.
Hanging high above is a copy of the catamaran Amaryllis II, 1933. Nathanael designed and built the original Amaryllis in 1875-76. It sailed to New York from Bristol, and then on June 23, 1876, it won the Centennial Regatta. At far right is Bulldog, 1925, one of the Buzzards Bay Boys Boats, first built in 1914, and this class of boats celebrates its 100th birthday this year.

Jan 20th 2012 1:25PM I think the first answer misunderstood and over complicated the issue. The question clearly suggested adding normal mode 25 man raids from previous tiers of the current expansion to the LFR tool, which doesn't sound like a big ask. All tiers in MoP will have LFR modes from the outset, but a combination of overgearing and nerfs should make the older Cata normal modes 'easy' enough for LFR without any further adjustment - other than adding them to the tool.

Item Description
Selling my incredible TW Acustic Raven One to fund a Garrard 301 build. I purchased this Raven from High Water Sound, the US distributor for TW Acustic, 8 months ago. Jeffrey said it was a one owner trade in from one of his good customers. I also have a mint like new Ortofon RS-309D arm available separately. I cannot update the title of my ad.
Included upgrades:
- TW Acustic GT platter
- TW Acustic GT bearing
- Ortofon armboard
- MINT Tractor cartridge alignment tool
- Millennium stainless/carbon fiber footers
- Newer style Raven One motor controller
The condition of the Raven is very good, however there are a couple of cosmetic flaws that were suffered in shipping when Jeffrey had it. The underside of the platter (you will never see this) has a couple of scars in it and the body of the table has one minor scratch. It's in a location which makes it difficult to see. Other than that, the table is in 9/10 excellent condition. I'm a fanatic about the condition of my gear and these flaws never bothered me. Jeffrey of course gave it a thorough going over before I purchased it.
If you don't know TW Acustic, the build quality and precision is off the charts. Truly an incredible piece of engineering and very simple to setup. The Raven comes in the original box and packing. $3900 + shipping. I prefer a check, but PayPal is OK if you cover the fees.

"People love this area," Alcaro says. "All the big shots like to have their meetings here. They forget they wanted to demolish it. These buildings were saved at the last minute, and that was it. They put in a little marker, and that's our history. It's a tombstone."
It's difficult to get a feeling for the old Auraria neighborhood from this one preserved block; placards outside the houses provide only bare details about the original owners. That's why Alcaro likes to tell visitors about his grandparents' journey here. "Their story," he says, "is a microcosm of the history of Auraria."
Auraria began as a gold camp staked out on the west bank of Cherry Creek by two brothers from Georgia in 1858; by the spring of 1860, it had been absorbed into Denver's west side. Over the next few decades, the area attracted an influx of German, Irish and Jewish immigrants, followed by Mexicans fleeing the violent revolution in their native land. In 1913, Ramón and Caroline Gonzalez arrived in El Paso. They soon moved on to Las Cruces, New Mexico, then southern Colorado, then Denver.
Ramón worked as a printer, photographer and carpenter, Caroline as a nurse. The couple didn't speak much English at first and had trouble getting housing. But in 1933, Caroline was able to obtain a loan to purchase the Smedley house, a handsome two-story clapboard home that was the oldest Victorian on the block. They rented out a carriage house behind them to Irish families and eventually converted the lower floor of their house and a patio into the Casa Mayan restaurant.
The food was popular with Anglos, who would slip local kids a few coins to "watch the car" while they tucked into their enchiladas. The restaurant soon evolved into a kind of cultural center. There were sewing classes, dance classes, meetings of the Guitar Society of Denver. José Feliciano liked to drop in when he was in town, and so did a young Judy Collins. "It was a hub for writers, too," Alcaro notes. "William Shirer came through here."
It was all part of the melting-pot experience that was Auraria, which by the 1950s had come to encompass 38 blocks of working-class homes and light industry, including a dairy, a Rainbow bakery, a pickle factory, a cookie factory and a potato-chip factory. There was also a synagogue, a bar and three Catholic churches — one for the Irish (St. Leo's), one for other immigrants (St. Cajetan's), and one for the better-off whites (St. Elizabeth's).
"We had a health clinic here, a credit union, four schools, a newspaper," Alcaro says. "The story that Denver Urban Renewal Authority told was that after the war, the Mexicans came in and the property went to heck. That's not the true story. It was always a mixture of communities and industries. It was definitely old, but it wasn't a slum."
In the late 1960s, DURA was keen on rehabilitating properties damaged by the South Platte River flood of 1965. City fathers were also searching for a permanent site for Metro State, CCD and a proposed Denver campus of CU; at the time, Metro was a cramped, fast-growing school of 4,600 students holding classes in seven rented spaces around Civic Center and 27 other buildings in five counties. Close to downtown and "underutilized" from a real-estate perspective, the Bottoms neighborhood was a prime target.
What followed was a skillful campaign to win public support for a bond issue to create the Auraria campus — and, at the same time, wipe out a community some considered an eyesore. The Denver dailies quickly got behind the effort, running large photos of weed-choked auto salvage yards and declaring that redeveloping this "run-down area" would be the key to stopping the rot threatening Denver's core. Dick Johnston of the Denver Post described the neighborhood as "a generally blighted mismatch of small houses, salvage yards, railroad tracks, small businesses, junk cars, showing clear signs of age and long bypassed by new development."
DURA claimed that three-fourths of the houses in Auraria were "dilapidated or damaged beyond repair" — and that many of them were vacant, anyway. One survey reported that the number of occupied homes in the target area had dwindled from 823 in 1940 to 134 in 1969. Other researchers insist that there were still 200 to 300 families living in Auraria in the late 1960s and more than 200 businesses operating there.
"I didn't think it was that bad until people started moving out and giving up on their property," says James McNally, a retired teacher who grew up in the shadow of St. Leo's. "The flood of '65 didn't help anything. But I do think there was a conspiracy to get rid of the neighborhood."
Although outgunned and outspent, residents and business owners tried to fight back, asking where they were supposed to go. Pete Garcia, the priest at St. Cajetan's and one of the leaders of the opposition, pointed out that his parishioners had a median income of around $3,400 and couldn't afford a house for more than $9,000. There simply wasn't much in that price range available to them elsewhere in town, even with the modest relocation money the project would provide — and renters weren't expected to receive any aid.
I give daily tours for one of the colleges on this campus. I am also a student here. Talking about the St. Cajetan's and Auraria's history is always one of my favorite parts of the tour. I know that there is a lot of anger and negativity around this development, my Chicano studies professor and I would have plenty of talks about it often. However, I always try to out a different spin on it. This campus has a beautiful history and though it's gone now it should be celebrated. The history parts aren't required on the script for our tours but I include it because I love it and almost always get a positive response from prospectives. This was an awesome article and it confirmed some information I already knew (people always asked where I got the line that none of the development was supposed to go south of Colfax, I'm glad other's are saying the same) and also helped with providing some more tidbits I might work into future tours. I hope the issues on this campus can be resolved, I have enjoyed my time here and when I graduate next year, I will miss this campus for sure.
