Revision History ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 12/02/05 0.1: A lot of speculation and rumours had been flying around GameFAQs about the Nintendo DS VIP Pak, as well as a lot of questions concerning it. I have written this FAQ to try and reduce the amount of questions and rumours on the message boards. ____________________________ 3. Information about the Pak ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ The Nintendo DS VIP Pak was a special offer by Nintendo of Europe at the end of January 2005. It was made available through the Nintendo Stars Catalogue, which is unique to Nintendo of Europe. The Stars Catalogue is a loyalty scheme. A certain line of games in Europe are selected by Nintendo (usually first party products). For each one of these that you buy you receive an amount of stars (typically 250 for a game and 500 for a games console) to redeem online, on the Stars Catalogue. The Nintendo DS VIP Pak was placed on the Nintendo Stars Catalogue at a cost of 1,000 stars plus Ł129.99 (€189.99 in the res of Europe). As Nintendo of Europe have multiple websites (for different European countries) and also therefore many Stars Catalogues each part of Europe was given a certain amount of Paks, for example the UK and Republic of Ireland were given 3,000 VIP Paks. The VIP Pak consisted of five items: The Nintendo DS console A pre-release version of 'Super Mario 64 DS' 'Metroid Prime: Hunters - First Hunt' A demo of 'WarioWare: Touched!' Nintendo DS promotional T-shirt Nintendo DS promotional sticker and poster ___________________________ 3.1 The Nintendo DS console ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is, obviously, the main part of the Pak. Posters on the GameFAQs message boards who have received their DS units state that the code on the DS has "EUR" in it - that is to say that the unit is a European unit. Also noted by the gamers on the message boards is that the type of bottom screen (grainy vs. grid) seems to vary randomly. A person from the UK posted to say that theirs was a grid screen (thanks, grey rain cloud) but someone from Sweden (Andy Moogle) has posted to say that his is a grainy screen. So this points to two possible conclusions: either getting either screen is completely random and uncontrollable, or it varies depending on which is your Nintendo of Europe. If you're wondering what the difference is, a post on the GameFAQs message boards or a visit to http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=985&topic=19179298 should point you in the right direction. If you would like to help me find out whether it's random or country-related, please visit http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=985&topic=19239223 _____________________ 3.2 Super Mario 64 DS ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is a pre-release version of the game, according to Nintendo. What that actually seems to mean is that they've put the USA version of the game (complete with USA stamped on the cartridge) into EUR packaging. This should not affect connectivity - the Nintendo DS is region-free anyway and the game does not require more than one cartridge to play multiplayer. _______________________________________ 3.3 Metroid Prime: Hunters - First Hunt ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This is a demo of 'Metroid Prime: Hunters'. This has been packaged with the first waves of USA DSs and is planned to be included in the European DSs which will be released March 11th. However, the code on the cartridge is USA, and there is a note with the game saying that the game will not work with the final European version. I rang Nintendo UK and asked about this - they said that the USA demo with the Pak (and presumably imports as well) will be fully compatible with the EUR demo in March. The note must therefore mean that the demo will not work with the final 'Metroid Prime: Hunters' which will be released later in 2005. ____________________________ 3.4 WarioWare: Touched! demo ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This demo is an EUR game, but as it does not contain a multiplayer mode, this will not affect anything at all. ___________________________________ 3.5 Nintendo DS promotional T-shirt ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Different people have received different sizes of T-shirt. This may be (like the screen type) random, but also may be age-related. If you have received your Pak, I'd be grateful if you posted shirt size and age at http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=985&topic=19239303 to help me find out more about this. ______________________________________________ 3.6 Nintendo DS promotional sticker and poster ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ A poster on the GameFAQs forums (grey rain cloud) has said that their VIP Pak included a sticker and a poster. However, unlike the other bits that they received, this was not mentioned by Nintendo on the list of Pak contents on the Stars Catalogue. I have not seen the sticker or the poster. More details will be posted when I receive my Pak. _____________________________ 4. Frequently Asked Questions ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Q: Where can I get my VIP Pak from? A: You can't anymore. The limited supply of Paks ran out before the beginning of February. ______________________ 5. Copyright & Credits ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This FAQ is (c) Copyright 2005 to John Coxon.

No one faults Romney for making so much money. The problem is his effective tax rate, which depletes the public treasuries and gives him an unfair advantage.
ugh, Lexington what's happening to your comments section? This used to be a rather interesting forum for public debate, I'm afraid it is being hijacked by political campaigns (I've read "radical anti-capitalist" describing Obama I think six times already) like so many other news outlets' forums.
Obama is a two-faced liar. He has put in so many regulations in addition to that gargantuan and ill-advised health care law to crush businesses. This week, Sununu(fmr. Senator/Gov. of NH) talked about a certain tax levied on manufacturers of medical devices that are killing jobs in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Obama doesn't know a thing about business. If he was concerned about the economy, he would have gone to work on it from his 1st day in office -- and not rested till it was stabilized. Irrespective of the winds of the global economy. He is a hook-line-and-sinker proponent of Keynesian economics. We've seen how that's gone, eh?
There are rich people even in the poorest of societies. You can not regulate the conscience of people with riches/wealth. You can only appeal to their conscience. If you get them angry with populist militancy, they will gladly contribute to the economy of the Swiss and Caymanians, if you know what I'm talking about.
I don't put all the blame on the regulators, I just note that its inaccurate to suggest that the financial industry was un- or, even, under-regulated.
I invite you to watch the 60 Minutes investigative report on the Lehman Brothers collapse which precipitated the financial crisis:
The SEC had devoted significant resources to Lehman and had access to the accounts and records that made plain the the firm was vulnerable.
Not only did the SEC fail to protect investors and head off the financial crisis, their incompetence is thought to have been an impediment to prosecution of Lehman Bros. management. That's why I feel that Mr. Obama's faith in regulators is misplaced. On present evidence, the regulators are worse than useless - despite being costly they not only failed to stop the crisis and collar wrongdoers, they have inadvertantly aided them. What's more their presence lulled investors into a false sense of security, increasing systemic risk.
That Obama may be guilty of exaggerating the negative effects of private equity may well be true, but to equate this with a lack of economic understanding is the true nonsense and suggests, on the author's part, either a naive perspective of the world or a lack of political understanding. Politicians exaggerate, no?
Rhetoric and knowledge & truth do not necessarily go "hand in hand". Rhetoric is frequently used when it is generally believed that the electorate are incapable of determining the truth or have (or desire) the proper knowledge.
Rhetoric is the most efficient way to communicate to the partisan-masses, and those either unwilling or unable to get their heads around complex arguments. Both sides – Republicans & Democratics – simply use rhetoric to their own advantage.
We, the electorate, allow them to do this. The problem does not lie so much with either candidate not misunderstanding economics or using overblown rhetoric – we (the electorate) do not understand economics and succumb to rhetoric too easily.
In the final paragraph, Lexington states: "Only profitable firms can sustain any jobs, and the more profitable they are, the more money they have to invest in new ventures with new workers."
Only a simpleton/hack would make a comment like this. Even the undergraduate students I thought at an intro level economics course would know this is simply an empty rhetorical comment.
Exactly! If Mitt's gonna run on his wonderful record in capitalism, Obama has a right and a duty to reveal the truth about it. Meanwhile Republicans whine and pine foul. Obama is inciting "class warfare"! Well, hate to break it to you, but this war has been going on long enough. The middle and lower classes have had their heads bashed in the fight. Time to wake up.
Wow, is this a poorly argued column. First, the concluding sentence is masterful truth obfuscation: "Only profitable firms can sustain any jobs, and the more profitable they are, the more money they have to invest in new ventures with new workers." - Yeah, but that doesn't mean such profitable firms *WILL* invest in new ventures, or new workers. That very obvious twist is the very thing that gives legitimacy to every Obama quote, and completely undermines your opposing "arguments."
More: "Mr Obama often does seem to suggest that financiers are greedy wreckers from whom America's economy must be saved" - #1, you're conflating criticism of Wall St execs and their more humble lessers and underlings doing more legitimate work at more legitimate compensation rates.
Point #2 is best made combined with these quotes:
"Obama ... believes that the vast majority of people in financial services are well intentioned."
[an Obama ad quotes a worker that Romney] "'doesn't care anything about the middle-class or the lower-class people.' These ads are unfair, of course..."
Consider, sir, that it is possible to be well intentioned while also being a scourge to society. Beliefs in Ayn Rand self-interest aside (a philosophy that says all consideration of the "common good" is actually evil), just one week ago your own science article ("The Roar of the Crowd") noted research that concludes, "In places where rules and institutions do not protect co-operators, freeloaders consistently dominate." (For those who struggle to infer meaning, a freeloader is, by definition, a person that acts against the common good.)
Does the Lexington author *SERIOUSLY* believe it is impossible to be an oblivious freeloader? Or this contribution to your archives merely uninformed even of that published in their own pages? (Talk about freeloading....)
"Obama campaign's hatchet men are much vaguer and more sweeping, painting a picture of Mr Romney as a callous asset-stripper—a claim for which there is little evidence." - Sir, how much more evidence do we need than Romney's unabashed view of his capitalist record, combined with his vast wealth versus the plight of laid-off workers that Romney is, in fact, both callous and a stripper of assets? It's not as if we even need prove *INTENT* here (he's already admitted that!!!)
In short, I think this article just might rate as the one most likely to have found its author's head squarely rammed up his own buttocks as the thing was penned.

When even readers of the Economist see through the big super rich lies, you know things have gotten out of hand. The whole article could have been written in three words - "Greed is Good!"
It's funny. Politicians debate the merits of talking about class warfare whereas most average Americans utterly despise their elites and upper classes.
Sure, the Republicans will try and conflate "class warfare" with attacks on upper middle class families. But does anybody really believe that the public holds sympathies for millionaire Wall Street traders who costed them their life savings and houses?
I see the current efforts to talk around "class warfare" as an effort to shore up the leaking dam. The day is approaching, and quickly, when that dam will burst and the public will become openly hostile against their elites. Unless, we are all to believe that the public will gladly remain sympathetic through a jobless recovery (that's only enriched the very elites who cost them their assets), through a generation of virtual stagnation in living standards, skyrocketing student debt, massive offshoring of well-paying manufacturing jobs, recent off-shoring of services jobs (IT/back office jobs to India for example), etc.
Someone stated on a previous article that the Economist will bend over backwards to make the Republicans seem moderate and competent even though they are frothing at the mouth like rabid dogs....something like that. When it comes to US politics I would ignore the Economist.
In a perfect world where Republicans acted like Eisenhower is where the Economists' mindset is.
They are completely out of touch with the current lunatic Republicans.
Fairnes....here we go again.
For the Right: Fairness: Price agreed between 2 parties in a free market system.
Warning: If one party aggrees (deals with supplies and demand) more often than the other it may end up in that 1% group.
To th Left: Fairness: Whatever produces a desired outcome. Warning: "Whatever" in its most extreme forms may include use of force, lost of suffrage, silencing opposition, etc.
To the left: Rich people are result of greed.
To the right: Rich people are result of success.
Reasons for Inequality gap (the Right view):
- Technology (Ex: There are millions of Apple products consumers; there is only one Apple Computer Co; there used to be 20 tellers in a bank; there is now hundreds of customers per ATM, etc).
- Globalization: External competition at all levels, in areas where America was leader.
- Outsourcing: Export of labor for costing reasons.
- Insourcing (Illegal Immigration): Workers being paid under minimum wage due to their (Il)legal status.
So what makes the gap: If one rich becomes millionaire today, there are thousands that just crossed the border therefore it WILL widen the gap for simply arithmetical reasons.
Reasons for Inequality gap (the LEft view):
- Exploitation
- Gaming the system (because Oprah and the Hollywood folks "gamed" the system)
- Unfairness: Because it is "unfair" that the Koches are so rich while others are not.
- Taxes: Why would investors pay less taxes than their employees? They want it all: the savvy to make the money AND the lower taxes! Those greedy bstrds!
- Because the riches steal the "middle class and consumers" money. So Walmart, McDonalds, and the rest, not only expect us to get their stuff, but also to PAY FOR IT! And of course, if I dont go to Walmart or get that Coke...they will come and FORCE me!
Until the left comes with a sounding logical argument for unfairness within the confines of the law, that doesnt threat the freedom of individuals to become rich, this case is dismissed.
America has generated massive inequality for two simple reasons, neither of which have anything to do with capitalism vs. socialism. We have inequality because of our culture. One, we have chosen to import labor in the form of immigration rather than encourage stable citizens in families to have more children. This can be blamed partly on culture (feminism), partly on family law (easy divorce crushes wealth accumulation when measured against two households vice one), partly on abortion, and partly on our broken southern border, which effectively allowed 30m very poor people to come live over recent decades. Immigrants bring with them families who are by extension also poor. Two, in a related note, we have put in place social programs and cultural preferences that have not discouraged women at the bottom of the economic ladder from having children. 70% of children born to black mothers are born out of wedlock (40% overall), which vastly increases the chances that the child will live in poverty. Combined, these cultural trends radically increase the numbers at the bottom of the scale compared to the top. Stable families are wealth multipliers. Change our anti-family culture and you reduce inequality dramatically.
I find this column troubling in that The Economist seems unfamiliar with economics. We should note that the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis has already reported that many people can not find jobs because they failed to acquire the education, work experience, and job skills to actually perform the requirements of the job. See
More recently, I took two class at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Unfortunately, the students did not want to work hard nor did they appear to be able to acquire the working knowledge offered in the course to actually provide a value to employers.
Further, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs faculty seemed uninterested in actually using opportunities available to provide jobs to students. Thus, there are many reasons for unemployment in America but the columnists seems to have a dim grasp on the actual facts.
Screaming Eagles
or maybe I should have said right field...
Why do progressives continue to put forth the notion that if the wealthiest americans (such as Romney) made less money, the rest would somehow make more. My economic value to society is in no way tied to any Romney-related enterprise. For someone to claim that if it weren't for the wealthy my labor would be more economically viable is just plain stupid. But that's the basis of class warfare.
My first visit to The Economist online has become disappointing. The reader comments are poorly reasoned, shallow recitals of the nonsense one would find from the New York Times readership.
The author is absolutely correct regarding the President's economic ignorance, of course. The same is to be said for the premise regarding the relationship between success and employment. After all, how many readers present have worked for a poor (wo)man?
The fact that large corporations have profited from government handouts and stimulus dollars - as I observe many here are wont to mention - proves the author's point all the more. Of course these companies take the money; why wouldn't they? And why would they hire or expand needlessly just because they've been given the money? Blame the fools who gave them handouts as handouts were never going to fix the underlying issues in the first place.
Corporate cronyism is the name of the game with Barack Obama, who has been a corporate president since day 1. The notion of borrowing money to catalyze artificial demand is so utterly absurd I cannot believe so many people refuse to place the blame solely where it belongs: upon the President's shoulders.
Want to end the recession? Let Americans work and let the economy navigate its cycles naturally. Any efforts to the contrary are done only to gouge taxpayers and enrich the politically connected.
Give us back the old Lexington. This new guy is so shallow, nothing more than a cheerleader for the magazine's editorial line.
Although i wholeheartedly agree with the analysis of this article, i think the context should be carefully analyzed. In elections, people choose sides and positions, not because they necessarily believe in those particular positions but also because they need to articulate an argument that gets them elected and makes them stand out from the competition. Imagine what an election we would have if Barack and Mitt said, 'actually we probably do agree with each other on most issues'; which i deeply suspect they do. There is no signficant difference in policy between the two. Circumstance has simply forced their hand.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

US 6792079 B1 Abstract A system for transmitting operational control messages to a plurality of remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitters uses a spare communication line associated with each transmitter to carry the control messages from unit to unit. In the case of a fiber optic cable, the control message is transferred from an incoming telephone line associated with a first cable-locating transmitter to a spare optical fiber. The control message then propagates down the fiber to the next transmitter (where this transmitter does not otherwise have accessibility to a telephone line). This transmitter converts the optical signal to an electrical signal and either uses the control message (if indeed destined for that particular transmitter), or re-converts it to optical form and sends it further along the spare fiber to the next remote cable-locating transmitter further down the line.

Description The present invention relates to cable locating systems for buried utility company cables and, more particularly, to a system using spare communication lines in the conveyance to communicate with and control cable locating units at remote, inaccessible locations. Most utilities, such as those that provide electric, water, gas and telephone service, bury their conveyances (i.e., pipes and cables) underground�both for reasons of safety and esthetics. Underground burial also protects such conveyances from direct exposure to the elements. Once a utility buries a conveyance, the utility marks the location on a map (using, for example, a physical landmark such as a building, road, or bridge) to facilitate location of the conveyance in the event of a disruption of service along the line. Using a physical landmark as a point of reference incurs the disadvantage that such landmarks can, and do, undergo change. For example, a building may undergo renovation or even demolition whereas a road may be widened, thus altering the previously-existing physical relationship between the landmark and the buried conveyance. Consequently, relying on the physical relationship between a landmark and the conveyance may not always yield an accurate indication of the location of the conveyance. To facilitate greater precision in the location of their conveyances, utilities often use electromagnetic detection techniques. One such locating technique is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,644,237, issued to H. Eslambolchi et al. on Jul. 1, 1997. Eslambolchi et al. describe and claim a locating technique, whereby a first transmitter impresses a first locating tone on a conveyance to allow a technician to generally locate the conveyance using a signal-locating receiver. Additionally, a second transmitter may be used to provide a coded, near-DC signal on the conveyance to allow the technician, using a second receiver, to precisely locate the conveyance of interest. Service providers, such as AT&T, often utilize a large number of transmitters for providing cable-locating tones on their buried conveyances. Often, the transmitters are located at remote, unmanned facilities, requiring that a technician travel to such a facility to service the cable-locating transmitter. Such servicing may include, for example, upgrading the software used in the transmitter, turning �on� or �off� the transmitter, changing the specific cable-locating frequency used for that conveyance, etc. One prior art technique to improve the efficiency of controlling a group of remote cable-locating transmitters is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6, 240,373 issued to P.J. Boggs et al. on May 29, 2001. In the Boggs et al. arrangement, a centrally-disposed control unit includes a database and communication lines linked to each of the remote transmitters. Simultaneous software upgrades to a group of remote cable-locating transmitters can then be simply controlled from the central location, with the upgrades transmitted over a dedicated telephone line to each remote facility. In some remote areas, however, there are no telephone lines available to provide for an interconnection between a cable-locating transmitter and a central controller. In these instances, therefore, it is necessary to have a technician travel to the remote location and manually operate the system to perform the necessary software upgrade or perform modification(s) in tone frequency, power, �on� or �off� status, and the like. In today's environment where productivity must be increased, a new system is needed to control the cable-locating transmitters at locations without telephone service. The need remaining in the prior art is addressed by the present invention, which relates to cable locating systems for buried utility company cables and, more particularly, to a system using spare communication lines in the actual conveyance to communicate with and control cable locating units at remote, inaccessible locations. In accordance with the present invention, a first cable-locating transmitter unit with access to a telephone line is used as a �control unit� to pass control signals along to other cable-locating transmitters without telephone access. A spare communication line (for example, a pair of spare fibers in a fiber optic cable conveyance) in the control unit is coupled to a conventional device used to control the operation of a cable-locating transmitter. This spare line is then subsequently coupled to a remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitter, which in turn couples the spare line to another remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitter, and so on, until a group of transmitters are coupled to a telephone-connected control unit through the spare communication line. In the case of a fiber optic cable conveyance where the spare line is a pair of optical fibers, additional opto-to-electronic conversion apparatus is required at each remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitter. In operation, therefore, control messages may be sent (using DTMF tone sequences, for example) over the telephone line to the �control� cable-locating transmitter. The control signals will include the particular address of the cable-locating transmitter that needs to be modified. Each transmitter will, in turn, receive the message, and if the address is for that particular transmitter, will proceed to perform the necessary modifications. If the address does not match the current transmitter, the message will be sent on down the line to the next transmitter, where the process will be repeated until the desired cable-locating transmitter is reached and the modification performed. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a return signal path is used to carry a confirmation signal to allow the technician to know that the command has reached the proper unit and the modification has been performed. Other and further embodiments and aspects of the present invention will become apparent during the course of the following discussion and by reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary communication arrangement with a buried conveyance disposed between a pair of cable-locating transmitters; FIG. 2 contains a diagram illustrating a plurality of cable-locating transmitters, with a first group including telephone communication for interacting with a central control unit and a second group without such telephone communication ability; and FIG. 3 illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing the utilization of a spare communication path to provide a communication link between a cable-locating transmitter with telephone communication and a plurality of transmitters without such telecommunication ability. FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary utility conveyance 10 that is buried below the earth 12 to a depth of several feet. In this particular embodiment, conveyance 10 comprises a cable that carries telecommunications traffic, either within a local exchange or between two such exchanges. Depending on the nature of conveyance 10, and its overall length, it may be necessary to regenerate (i.e., boost) the strength of the signals carried by the cable at spaced intervals along its length. For that reason, cable 10 is illustrated as running between a pair of regeneration stations 14 1 and 14 2 that boost the strength of the signals carried by cable 10. Occasionally, excavation must occur along the right-of-way of cable 10. As mentioned above, cable-locating tone generators, such as transmitter 16 of FIG. 1, are used to generate both a cable-locating tone and a cable-confirmation tone to facilitate location of the cable. Each transmitter 16 typically comprises a model LMS 3 signal generator manufactured by Radiodetection Ltd. of the United Kingdom for simultaneously impressing both the cable-locating tone and the cable-confirmation tone on that length of cable extending to the next regenerator station. The cable-locating tone comprises an RF signal at a frequency specific to the utility maintaining cable 10. For example, AT&T (which maintains a large number of underground telecommunication cables) has at least one specific cable-locating frequency assigned to it. Other utilities, such as those providing electric, water and/or gas, similarly have specifically-assigned locating frequencies. The cable-locating tone is generally of a frequency, and of a power level sufficient to generate a field that radiates at least within a proximity zone 18 of a radius greater than the depth to which cable 10 is buried below the earth 12. In this way, the cable-locating tone can be detected above ground. As long as each transmitter 16 is accessible, its operating conditions (i.e., assigned cable-locating frequency, power, �on�/�off� state, etc.) can be modified as needed. As mentioned above, many of these generators are computer-controlled and are remotely located with respect to one another. It can often be extremely time-consuming and costly to visit each generator individually to perform the necessary modifications. FIG. 2 illustrates a prior art arrangement that addresses this problem by utilizing a central processor 20 and telecommunication lines 22 to interact with a plurality of transmitters 16. As shown, each transmitter 16 i includes a telephone interconnection 22 i that is in communication with central processor 20 through an associated modem 24 i. Central processor 20 includes the necessary software and hardware to either interact with a specific transmitter 16 i, or �broadcast� information (such as a software upgrade) to all of the transmitters. However, in order to achieve this capability, there needs to be separate telecommunication access to each transmitter 16, where this is not always available. Indeed, FIG. 2 illustrates a second set group of transmitters 17 and associated cable conveyances 13, where transmitters 17 lack any telecommunication capability. Thus, in the prior art, there still remains the need for a technician to physically visit all such remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitters without telecommunication capabilities to perform system upgrades or modify the operating parameters of the transmitter. The arrangement of the present invention, as illustrated in FIG. 3, overcomes this limitation by using a spare communication line available in the conveyance (such as cable 10) to provide a communication link between a first, control cable-locating transmitter (i.e., a transmitter with telecommunication capability) and a plurality of remotely-disposed cable-locating transmitters without telecommunication capability. In particular, FIG. 3 illustrates a first, control cable-locating transmitter 30 that includes a modem 32 for providing telecommunication capability between a technician and transmitter 30 over an incoming telephone line 34 (such as a traditional POTS line, or as available with a cellular connection). In a conventional manner and as described above, telephone line 34 is used to gain access to transmitter 30 so as to perform modifications or updates to the performance of transmitter 30. Such modifications can include changing the cable-locating frequency associated with transmitter 30, changing the power level of the cable locating tone, etc. As is known in the art, dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals from a telephone keypad are used to control these various functions, where transmitter 30 includes a processor that recognizes various tone sequences and responds accordingly. Moreover, a particular tone sequence (defined as a �message�) can be used as a security measure to block access to transmitter 30 by unauthorized personnel. In the particular case where cable 10 is a fiber optic cable, the locating tone generated by transmitter 30 is applied as a signal to the metallic sheath surround the cable (such as shown in FIG. 1) so that a technician using a locating unit can easily determine the physical location of cable 10. In accordance with the present invention, the capability of using DTMF-based message signals to modify the operation of cable locating tone transmitters without telephone interconnection is accomplished by using a spare communication line in cable 10 to transmit the DTMF signals from one transmitter to another. Referring to FIG. 3, it is presumed that remotely-disposed transmitters 36, 38 and 40 do not have telecommunication capability. Thus, a spare communication line 42 within cable 10 is used to provide the communication capability required to modify the parameters of transmitters 36, 38 or 40 without the need to physically visit each transmitter. In particular, transmitter 30 includes a receive unit 44 that is disposed to receive the incoming DTMF signals from telephone line 34. Receive unit 44 first looks at the �transmitter address� included in the DTMF message to determine if the command is for transmitter 30 or another cable-locating transmitter. If the message is for transmitter 30, the appropriate modification is made (e.g., change the frequency of the cable-locating tone propagating along the cable sheath), and a �confirmation� message may be sent back over telephone line 34 to the technician. If the transmitter address is associated with another cable-locating transmitter, receive unit 44 will pass the message along to transmit unit 46, which then propagates the message over spare communication line 42 to remote transmitter 36. In the case that cable 10 is a fiber optic cable and the spare communication line comprises a pair of spare optical fibers, receive unit 44 must comprise the components required to convert a received optical signal into the equivalent electrical representation of the DTMF tone sequences (using, for example, a photodiode) and, similarly, the electrical signal version of the DTMF signals needs to be re-converted into an optical signal (using, for example, a laser or LED) in transmit unit 46 before being coupled onto communication line 42. Remotely-disposed transmitter 36 will first encounter the DTMF control message in its receive unit 48, which will also perform an optical to electrical conversion, if necessary. As with receive unit 44 in transmitter 30, receive unit 48 in transmitter 36 will first analyze the �transmitter address� in the message and determine if the command is to be performed on local transmitter 36. If so, the modification to the tone generation function will be performed (e.g., change frequency, change power, etc), and a confirmation signal may be sent back, also via communication line 42, through receive unit 44 of transmitter 30 and onto telephone line 34 to the technician. Again, if the address is not associated with remote transmitter 36, a transmit unit 50 in transmitter 36 will re-convert the message into an optical signal and couple the signal onto the section of communication line 42 between remote transmitter 36 and remote transmitter 38. Remote transmitter 38, as well as remote transmitter 40, each include similar receive and transmit units to process the information in the DTMF signal message and respond accordingly. Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, spare communication line 42 may be used to provide DTMF-controlled access to cable-locating tone transmitters that are not directly accessible by telecommunication lines. This is considered to be a significant cost savings when compared to installing separate telephone lines to each transmitter for the sole purpose of allowing access and control of the transmitter, or sending a technician to manually adjust the performance of such remote cable-locating tone transmitters. The above-described embodiments merely illustrate the principles of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications and changes that will embody the principles of the invention and still fall within the spirit and scope thereof. Patent Citations

Howard joined Porter and other friends on two luxurious trips in the mid-1950s. No matter where Porter went--the south of France, Italy, Portugal. the Greek islands, Switzerland or Egypt--he traveled in grand style. Often sailing on the yacht Eros, owned by Greek shipping magnate Stavros Niarchos, when on land Porter frequently rented private railroad cars for long trips. For such shorter jaunts as the commute from his suite at the Waldorf Towers to his Massachusetts country home, or spins around Palermo and Monte Carlo, he used his chauffeured Cadillac limousine. An accomplished photographer, Howard further enlivens her account with excerpts from Porter's diaries.--From publisher description.

Along with many other psychologists, I've been closely following (and participating in) the ongoing discussion about finding ways to effectively improve the shortcomings in our field's research methods. Given that the Stapel fraud case was an important spark to these discussions, I read Yudhijit Bhattacharjee's article, The Mind of a Con Man, in this week's New York Times Magazine with great interest.

Reform from the Bottom Up
In recent months social psychologists have focused an increasing amount of attention on the soundness of their scientific methods. Although the problems we face are troubling, I believe that the renewed attention they are getting is a very positive trend because a self-critical approach is essential to ensuring the continuing health of the discipline. If, as a scientific community, we were to ignore problems as they became apparent, then our entire endeavor would be undermined. The question, then, is not whether we need to be improving the state of our science, but how we can do so most effectively.

The customers of the leading telecom company AT&T Inc. ( T ) can now enjoy more mobile apps and contents as the company's partners Syntonic Wireless launched a Sponsored Content Store. Customers can use these mobile apps without changing their current data plan.
AT&T customers using iOS and Android software-based devices can access the Sponsored Content Store. This application will be made available on other operating systems later this summer. However, the number of applications the company will offer is not yet known.
In January, the company announced its plans to offer a toll-free data service that will not consume customers' monthly allotment for surfing when they visit the sponsors' websites. We believe that this is AT&T's strategy of promoting wireless data usage to boost its service revenues. The service would also pave the way for establishing its LTE network in the near-term.
This Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) stock currently faces several limitations with its existing wireless spectrums and is attempting a turnaround by gaining more spectrum licenses. The company's wireline division is struggling with persistent losses in access lines as a result of competitive pressure from voice-over-Internet protocol (VoIP) service providers and aggressive triple-play (voice, data and video) offerings by the cable companies. These are weighing on the company's revenues and margins.
Other Stocks to Consider
Better-ranked stocks in this sector include Sprint Corp. ( S ), Chunghwa Telecom Co., Ltd. ( CHT ) and Mandalay Digital Group, Inc. ( MNDL ). All these stocks carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

In the news today, papers in Australia are reporting that Winston Churchill's dentures have just sold at auction for $25,000. Another set of his dentures went on the auction block last year, and fetched $24,000. It was Churchill's dentures that gave him his characteristic lisp.
Today I am looking at the price of dentures in Australia. And not surprisingly dentures under $25,000. By the way, $25,000 would be the price for full arch, either upper or lower arch, restoration with dental implants and permanent fixed teeth in Australia.
There are different types of dentures, such as full dentures, immediate dentures, partial dentures, and even dentures implants. Below is the average price for upper and lower and partial dentures.
In Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, a full upper and lower denture can cost up to $3000. A partial denture $1300. With a dental plan, like those from Nobel Dentist, the costs are around $1600 for upper and lower and $740 for a partial denture.
Full upper and lower dentures are dental appliances used to replace a person's teeth, when no natural teeth remain. The full denture can be removed and cleaned daily.
A partial is a denture that has spaces or holes in the denture to allow one or more natural teeth to fit though the denture to help keep the denture more secure. If a person has remaining stable natural teeth these teeth can help to hold the denture in place.
Implant supported dentures are dentures or a dental hybrid bridge that is secured in place by dental implants. With implant supported dentures, there is no need for denture adhesive, also, they will not slip or drop like conventional dentures. Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed in the jaw bone, the implant then fuses with the jaw bone firmly in place. Then a dental crown, or in the case of dentures implants, a implant supported denture or hybrid dental bridge is permanently fitted to the dental implants.

Economic forecaster The Economist Intelligence Unit has teamed up with Mintel for a new whitepaper that predicts trends over the next three years in fast moving consumer goods categories in five emerging markets compared to the USA and EU, including Mexico's growing petfood market.
The whitepaper, Convergence with Divergence, found that sales of petfood in Mexico have doubled in the last five years, as pet owners shift from feeding their dogs and cats scraps to buying prepared petfood. The whitepaper notes that petfood companies such as Nestle and Mars are leading Mexico's petfood market, which is beginning to resemble that of the US.

Groundbreaking Set For New Addition To The Pennsylvania Lumber Museum's Visitor Center In Potter County
HARRISBURG, Pa., April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum Associates, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for renovations to the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum Visitor Center at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 22.
Representatives of both organizations will join elected officials and community leaders to begin renovations to the existing 8,700 square foot visitor center. Approximately 7,000 square feet will be added to the building.
The museum, located in Galeton, Potter County, interprets the colorful heritage of the state's prosperous lumber era when white pine and hemlock were the wealth of the nation.
The additional space will provide a new handicapped accessible entrance, expanded exhibit galleries and a state-of-the-art collections storage area. The renovated visitor center will house galleries and exhibits, museum offices, meeting space for community groups, visitor amenities, a library and a gift shop.
The new addition, like the original visitor center constructed in 1972, will feature rough-sawn board and batten hemlock siding, which was used at many lumber camps, and stone cladding. The new entrance will be lowered to the parking lot level and include an elevator to the gallery on the main floor above. The project also includes a new fire suppression system and a new roof. A new heating, ventilation, air conditioning and humidification system will be a major component of the project because of the importance of maintaining stable temperature and relative humidity levels for museum collections. Sustainability is a key element in the renovation, with energy efficient lighting, occupancy sensors, natural day lighting, and a geothermal heating and cooling system all incorporated in the design. New restrooms will be provided and the existing sanitary system will be connected to the sewage treatment facility of an adjacent commonwealth property, Denton Hill State Park.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
