Treatment of chronic meningitis depends on the underlying cause. Once a specific cause has been established, appropriate targeted therapy is initiated. When the cause is unknown, a decision must be made whether to employ empiric therapy while the diagnostic evaluation is ongoing. This decision is based on three factors: 1) the clinical status of the patient; 2) the most likely cause based on demographic, historical, examination, and initial laboratory data; and 3) the risk-to-benefit ratio of the proposed treatment regimen. Initial efforts focus on deciding whether the meningitis is infectious or noninfectious. When a decision is made to start empiric therapy, antituberculous treatment is generally given for several weeks to judge therapeutic response. Patients who do not respond to antituberculous therapy are next treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics for unusual bacterial pathogens such as Actinomyces (penicillin), the Lyme disease spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (ceftriaxone), Brucella (doxycycline plus rifampin), or Francisella tularensis (streptomycin plus gentamicin). Antifungal therapy is generally reserved for patients who are at particular risk for mycotic infection (owing to underlying immunosuppression or an extraneural infection site). Finally, empiric glucocorticoids are generally reserved for patients with consistently negative culture results and a probable noninfectious cause.

Difference between revisions of "2005-06-04 Ricky Hatton w rtd 11 Kostya Tszyu, MEN Arena, Manchester, England - IBF/The Ring"
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
(No difference)
Revision as of 15:39, 19 December 2011
2005-06-04 Ricky Hatton w rtd 11 Kostya Tszyu, MEN Arena, Manchester, England - IBF/The Ring. Referee: Dave Parris. In one of the great British fight nights, Hatton (140) forced the once top-class champion to retire on his stool at the end of the 11th, having beaten him to a standstill and leaving him with nothing in the tank. It was a sad end for Tszyu (140), but the challenger had taken everything that was thrown at him before coming on like a train to control the last few rounds and, ultimately, destroy whatever chances remained for the champion. Hatton had outboxed and outpunched his rival, shown many of the qualities that great fighters need, and had won The Ring magazine championship belt on the result.

Three sheriffs offices and the Willamette Ski Resort participated in a rescue operation Wednesday night that may have saved the lives of three Oregonians. Two men and a woman were snowshoeing near the ski resort when they became exhausted walking through three feet of fresh snow. The call for help came in at 7 last Wednesday night but rescuers faced the same daunting challenge as those being rescued. "The individual breaking the trail for the group could only break trail for two to seven minutes. They would then have to stand to the side and be shuffled back for a 45 to 90 minute rest period before they were able to break trail for the group and continue on." Deschutes County Sheriff Captain Mark Mills said rescuers reached the three a little after five this morning. They had built a snow cave and were in good shape. None of the three required hospitalization and Mills said they had been adequately prepared to spend 24-hours outdoors. Two members of the rescued party were from Eugene and one was from Central Point.

Sleep Train Arena, Sacramento, CA
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Lakers have put their three-game hiccup behind them and are closing in on their playoff form.
Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, Pau Gasol added 28 points and 11 rebounds, and the Lakers completed a sweep of their Northern California swing with a 106-99 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night.
"We're playing with more of a sense of urgency," Bryant said. "Guys understand that we can be beaten. Once you understand that, you understand that that day can come. Guys have to remained focused."
After committing 24 turnovers and barely holding on for a 124-121 victory at Golden State on Monday night, the Lakers were much sharper on the back end of their trip. They committed just two turnovers in the first half and 10 for the game, overpowering the Kings inside to win their fourth straight following a season-high, three-game losing streak.
Andrew Bynum added 21 points and 12 rebounds, and the Lakers finished with 60 points in the paint to remain four games ahead of Denver for the best record in the Western Conference. Gasol and Bynum combined to make 21-of-28 shots.
"I think we're tightening it up and playing better defensively," Gasol said. "We know there are only 14 games left in the regular season. It's a good time to step it up and play at our highest level."
After needing two overtimes to win the first meeting between the teams in December and a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Bryant to complete a comeback from 20 points down to win on New Year's Day, the Lakers had a relatively easy time in the third of four meetings this season.
The crowd was energized in just the third sellout of the season. But it wasn't nearly as unfriendly to the Lakers as it was during the cowbell-clanging peak of the rivalry in the early 2000s. There was a sizable contingent of Lakers fans who were almost as loud as the Kings supporters at various points.
"It's a different building," Bryant said. "It's a different building than it was years ago."
The pro-Lakers contingent took Kings newcomer Carl Landry by surprise.
"I almost thought we were playing in the Staples Center," he said. "I've never seen anything like that before. To see that many Lakers fans out there was kind if disappointing, but at the same time it was motivation for us."
The Lakers opened a 10-point lead midway through the third quarter on consecutive 3-pointers by Bryant and Lamar Odom. Los Angeles maintained control the rest of the third and took a 77-68 lead into the final quarter when Odom scored on a drive with a second remaining.
The Lakers then scored the first seven points of the fourth, capped by an emphatic dunk by Shannon Brown that made it 84-68. The Kings were never able to make a serious dent in that deficit the rest of the way and fell for the fifth straight time to the Lakers.
Rookie Tyreke Evans had 25 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists for the Kings, narrowly missing his second career triple-double.
"It would have been nice to get it, but it didn't happen," Evans said.
After a dazzling spin move by Evans on Ron Artest gave the Kings an early lead, the Lakers ended the first quarter on a 17-4 run to take a 28-17 lead after one. Bryant scored 10 straight points in one stretch, getting inside with ease against the Kings.
But Sacramento got right back into the game with a 16-3 run early in the second quarter and tied it at 33 on a 3-pointer by Omri Casspi. The game remained close from there, with the Lakers taking a 49-48 lead at the half that would have been bigger except Bryant missed three of four free throws in the final minute.
Game notes
Artest played to the crowd in the arena he used to call home. After one basket in the third quarter, he flexed, kissed his biceps and then smiled at the crowd before heading back on defense. ... Evans' only triple double came on March 10 against Toronto. ... The other sellouts in Sacramento were for the home opener against Memphis and the Lakers' first trip into town on Dec. 26. ... The Lakers are 11-6 on the second half of back-to-backs.

I was given a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. Nice 1pt 9.4 fl oz bottle, with a beautiful metal emblem attached to the front. Silver plastic over the neck and cap. Really tastefully done. I've had chocolate beers before, and I once brewed a really nice chocolate porter (getting ready to drink THE LAST bottle this weekend with my best friend - it's been in the bottle 3 months). I thought I knew what I was going to taste. I was wrong. This beer was really chocolately. I mean, it had a really nice, pleasant chocolate taste. Clearly chocolate. Mildly sweet chocolate. I'm not a fan of chocolate by any means, but this was good. My girlfriend certainly drank her share of it. Very nice brew.
Allergy Warning: This post was made by a person who may be nutsFrom the store: Nothing right now, how sadUp Next: Thinking about an amber ryeSecondary: "Not as Pale as Death" pale ale (since april, man I hate bottling.)In bottles: Lager than Life Beer, Rocky Raccoon Honey Lager, A nameless Imperial Stout (my first AG!)
I've won two so far in raffles and really enjoyed them. The taste is nothing like you'd expect from other chocolate named beers. I've also removed the labels and used the bottles for my own brew. They're nice sturdy bottles to re-use. Wild
From man's sweat and God's love, beer came into the world. -- Saint Arnoldus
I've been looking for this beer! I love chocolate beers and have read good reviews of this one. It must be good - it can't legally be sold in Alabama, Louisiana or Utah!
i liked it. haven't seen it since the holidays though......plus we probably didn't get much here to begin with.
Cheers! DeRoux's Broux
I just cracked my bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock today, it is 4 months past its drink before date, but it is pretty damned tasty!
I know nothing!
I liked it too. I wouldn't pay that much to buy it again but it was a Christmas gift from SWMBO so I'm not complaining.
It comes on tap around here every year so I'll have a couple of pints. The bottles are just too expensive for what it is, but I still like it.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

More or Less Same Formula in 'Kung Fu Panda 2'

CHICAGO – Good and evil, chase and fight. Those are the two basic formulas that dominate "Kung Fu Panda 2," the sequel to the very popular first film. That redundancy is helped by the spirituality of an animated panda and some spectacular 3D rendering.
Jackie Chan, Jaden Smith Are Kickin' it in Remake of 'The Karate Kid'
Submitted by PatrickMcD on June 11, 2010 - 6:12amRating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – Despite any resistance that must have been felt in remaking the quasi-classic 1984 film "The Karate Kid," veteran Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith put their best kicking feet forward and spin some new cloth out of the old material. In resetting the location and putting in some surreal modern touches, this remake mostly succeeds.

On several occasions I have had a hard time breaking through my skin to give myself an injection. What is that?
For me... it's a sign that I've used that syringe needle too many times and it's time for a new one :-)
When I was on shots many years ago I only used my arms and didn't realize how tough that skin can become. Using only a particular area to give shots, that can cause the skin to become tough.
I think both of the above comments are true. Do you rotate with your abdomen, arms and legs?
I also reuse syringes and have noticed that they become dull.
I do not reuse the needles, but I do have favorite injection spots. Makes sense.
I inject with a quick motion, I don't inject slowly. I think a quick motion helps produces less injury and scaring than a slow injection.
Scar tissue forms quickly in areas where you give lots of shots. Not only directly on the shot location but also around the area too. Remember, in diabetics we heal slower to scar tissue forms easier. This scar tissue over time can become quite hard for needles to penetrate.
I agree with the quick motion that tends to hurt less

Can you believe that our first Whole30 challenge officially ends today? After only a few weeks in, when the rough patch came and knocked me on my bum, I felt as though it would never end. All I wanted was a glass of wine and a few (ok the bag) of plantain chips. But now that the end is here, my energy level is back, my cravings are gone, and I am feeling great again, I am shocked as to how fast it seemed to have gone by. I really needed this challenge to clean up some bad habits I got into from the holidays. I can't believe how a few extra glasses of wine and some desert could amount to me gaining 3 pounds from Thanksgiving to Christmas! Now 3 pounds may not sound a lot to some, but when you are barely 4'11″ tall, 3 pounds is actually a lot and noticeable. I am happy to report that I am back down the 3 pounds I gained from the holidays and my clothes are back to fitting the way they should So here is our last Whole30 challenge feedback. My cousin Andrea joined us in our Whole30 challenge about a week in. She texted me and asked if it would be ok for her to join us in the challenge even though it had already started. The more the merrier as far as I am concerned so I happily told her that we wold love to have her! Here is what she has to say on her day 15. Ok I may be a bit biased, but don't you just LOVE stories like this! I know that I learned a lot from my cousin's experience. I never once preached my way of eating on her. When she told me of the menu that she was offering for her son's birthday party 2 years ago, I had just started my first ever 63 day paleo challenge. Not wanting to be a pain in the butt or viewed as a weirdo, I simple said something along the lines of don't worry about it I'll be fine. I certainly didn't want her going out of her way to accommodate my new diet. Andrea could sense that I was holding back and reassured me that she was used to throwing parties with guests with various eating styles (a few of my cousins are vegans). So I asked her if she was ready for it and proceed to rattle off the list of no-no foods that I was to stay away from. What I did, without even realizing it, was to lead by example. I have been accused in the past of being overbearing with my nutrition and exercise beliefs. I honestly feel that I am just passionate; I love what I do for a living and I want to inspire others to love it as much as I do. I remember reading one sentence in the Whole30 book, It Starts With Food, that truly resonated with me. "Lead by quiet example." I realized that I can't want it for others, they have to want it for themselves. And the more I pushed some with my knowledge and passion the more they pushed away from me. Everyone needs time to come to the decision on their own. I am truly happy that I was able to be a quiet example for my cousin. How did the challenge go for you? How do you feel? If you are looking for what to do now that the challenge is over and you don't have the book, It Starts With Food yet read this link from whole9life.com. There are a bunch of resources for how you introduce these foods back into your system if you choose to do so. Basically, you introduce one new food at a time. If your first meal post Whole30 is chicken parm over ziti with minestrone soup from the nearby Italian restaurant, then how do you know if it was the dairy, legumes, or grains that caused you to feel bad, breakout, or whatever. You want to be able to pin point exactly what you ate that caused any issues (if any). |

I am a fan of the Mossberg, probably because that is what I have and have had for many years. I like the safety up top, but opinions vary.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
I agree with Orange. Tang safety is much easier and the slide release is in a WAY better place, behind the trigger guard instead of in front of it. I started with an 870 for many years, once I picked up a Mossberg, it's all I want in pump actions. They are a chore to fieldstrip, but their operation is much better the Remington IMO.
I do have a slight preference towards the 870 myself. Easier take down and reassembly, and I am not a fan of aluminum receivers. Both are good, inexpensive shotguns, and they are deemed reliable by both the military and law enforcement. I do like the location of the Mossberg's safety, but as a LH shooter with short fingers, I am not a big fan of where the slide release and the trigger sits on the 500. The palm swell of the stock just doesn't feel right to me. The 870 just feels better in my hands, and it only cost about $80 to convert the safety from RH to LH between parts and labor. As I said in an earlier post, go with what fits you best. There is a reason I have both in my safe.
Is it better to do the right thing for the wrong reason, or to do the wrong thing for the right reason? If you do the wrong thing for the right reason, is it still the wrong thing? Si vis pacem para bellum. There are two ways of doing something. Right and again. If you can't be good, be great at it.
I personally prefer mossbergs. I have no negative ideas about Remington. Purely preference. I own both a 500 and 590 mossy and have had no issues with them. Both are solid and well built. I have used both for HD and trap. The whole argument over whether remington or mossberg is better is just preference. It can go on forever. Personally it turns me off. There's nothing worse than going to a gun shop to look at a gun, only to hear the employee bad mouth that gun and say what a piece of junk it is. Everyone has an opinion and I prefer to form mine myself. I feel this is something that pushes new shooters away from the sport. Each of these shotguns is tried and true. I had to choose between the 500 and 870 when I bought my first shotgun. I chose my mossberg because the price was right at the time. it's worked no problem, so when I bought my second shotgun, I leaned towards mossberg again. I'm sure if I bought the Remington originally, then I'd have a preference towards Remington. Each is functional in its own way. As a mossberg owner I can admit the 870s safety is more functional for adding a pistol grip stock. What we all need to remember is that both the 500 and 870 are the two most versatile models of the most useful firearm. A shotgun can be used for anything from hunting to clay shooting to home defense. It can take down anything from small birds to large game. It's renowned itself on the battlefields and in the hunting blinds. A shotgun is an all purpose gun that just about anyone can afford. And in these times, it's about the only gun I can always find ammo for. I think alot of us here sleep a little better at night, knowing that we have our trusty shotguns within reach, whether it be a 500 or an 870.
I'm not really a fan of the 870 or 500 there are pros and cons in both I like the safety and the fairly smooth action on the 500 but I absolutely hate how the forearm is so rattley.....I like the feel of the 870 but they don't have the smoothest action and I don't like the location of the safety.....in my opinion the Winchester 1300 is the best pump gun ever made I love everything about them the only thing that would make then better is a safety like the Mossbergs I'm not saying the remingtons and Mossbergs aren't good guns I just prefer the 1300s....I'm also a big fan of the benelli nova as well

Why are we allowing a double standard for Muslims?

"Why is Islam privileged above all other religions? Who bears responsibility? Why has criticism of Islam has become a rhetorical no-go zone? Why is militant Islam on the march throughout the world, including America? The march is fueled by privileges granted to no other group.

A True Patriot
December 30, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Uncategorized
In the beginning, when this great grassroots movement called Tea Party started over five years ago, there was this tiny grandmother who loved her country and was determined to preserve it for her grandchildren and all citizens. She was smart, knowledgeable and loyal to our Constitution. She was indefatigable, a tower of strength and fiercely loyal to the value of individual freedom. She was unrelenting in her ideals and spent all her time working, against all odds, to return this great country of ours to the Constitution. This tiny grandmother became a pillar of strength to us all as we labored beside her to preserve the values upon which this country was founded. That true patriot was Paula Helton who sadly passed away on 12/27/14. Paula, you left behind many who were touched and inspired by your integrity, wisdom and energy. Thank you for all that you gave us. You are sorely missed.

Obama: The Great Divider
December 11, 2014 by Laurie Newsom

From our own James Sharp as printed by Canada Free Press:
"Instead, you chose to divide us. You have bent, folded, spindled, and mutilated the United States. You have divided us along racial lines (as evidenced by the Cambridge Police and Trayvon Martin episodes) and sexual lines (the "war on women"). Instead of uniting us along economic lines, you sought to divide us by fostering unprecedented levels of class envy as illustrated by the "one-percenters" and Occupy Wall Street protests. By insisting that successful individuals have failed to pay their "fair share" in taxes, you demonized success and fostered resentment among the less successful and the downright lazy."

Medical Perspective On The Garner Tragedy
December 9, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Hot Topics
From G. Wesley Clark, M.D., in the American Thinker:
"Eric Garner's death had essentially nothing to do with racism or racial animosity, particularly when one can see an African-American female sergeant, in charge at the scene, standing and observing the arrest in the background. Ultimately, as the senior officer on the scene, she was responsible for Mr. Garner's safety, although it would be unreasonable to incriminate her, either, given the obscure physiology of the chain of events that led to his unfortunate demise."
Gainesville Residents! Plan To Attend!
December 3, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Hot Topics
From Debbie Martinez, Chairwoman for Citizen Coalition Pac (www.CitizenCoalitionPac.org):
Plan to attend at Gainesville City Hall this Thursday (Dec. 4th) @ 8pm.
As so very many of us can attest – citizens from all parties – while campaigning for Craig Carter in Dist. 3 and Annie Orlando/At-Large told us, OVERWHELMINGLY at their front door, told us that they wanted 8th Ave. to be returned back to FOUR LANES. This is the message that MUST be told at the City Commission meeting @ 8pm on Thursday !!!
This is about safety and listening to what citizens have been telling us.
It appears that Bottcher/Hawkins and Co. are organizing their DEC machine followers to crowd out City Hall this Thursday (Dec. 4th) @ 8pm. It appears they want a small special interest group "recreational bikers" to have preference over cars on a major road – 8th Ave.
Please call your friends, neighbors, and family to let them know how important it is for them to attend this meeting to let their voices be heard. I will be attending as well.
Eight Avenue is a major road that many residents living on the eastside depend upon to seek healthcare services that are located west of 34th St. Not to mention people driving to work, school, shopping, delivery trucks, police cars, fire trucks and ambulances just to name a few.
Mayor Ed Braddy explains it BEST in his recent letter published in the Sun.
Please read a few paragraphs from his letter posted below:
Often, transportation corridors are too physically constrained to develop separate cycle tracks. However, this particular stretch on Eighth Avenue is ideally suited for this safer and citizen-preferred option with right-of-way on both sides to allow for separated bike paths adjacent to the sidewalks while restoring four travel lanes to motorists.
The physical separation from cars is standard in European countries like Denmark, Poland and the Netherlands, where the market share for bicycling is exponentially higher than in the U.S. and where women, children and seniors account for more than half of all bicycle trips.
Shouldn't that be the goal for Gainesville? Or is it more important to promote road doctrine that inconveniences people in cars but only marginally affects bicycling?
It's said that politics is the art of the possible, and Eighth Avenue offers the possibility for a win-win-win situation for pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists.
Those of us who campaigned for Craig Carter in Dist 3 and for Annie Orlando (At-Large) heard time and again – OVERWHELMINGLY citizens said they wanted 8th Ave. to be returned to "FOUR LANES".Rehabilitated sidewalks for pedestrians, cycle tracks separated from the road for bicyclists and four travel lanes returned to the 98.3 percent of people who travel the corridor: This is not only a safer alternative, it is one that is consistent with the overwhelming preference of the people.
Thanksgiving: We Can Still Be Thankful
November 26, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Uncategorized
For a true American Thanksgiving Day is the most meaningful holiday of the year. It is the only day of celebration that extolls and reveres what was the greatest societal accomplishment in the history of mankind: a country built on individual rights with a government put in place to protect those rights. Sadly, this country no longer allows for individual freedom and is rapidly becoming a dictatorship following the paths of Venezuela and Cuba. As of last Thursday, November 20, it was declared by Obama that we are no longer a nation governed by the rule of law but one governed by a single person. One exalted person, the President of the United States, has been placed above the rule of law and, as such, with "my pen and my telephone" will now control our lives. Even though the majority of American citizens say they do not wish to live under a dictatorship there is no political will in our elected officials to stop this tyranny. The will of the people is now irrelevant. So get prepared as we follow the path of all dictatorships. It took less than a decade for Chavez to ruin Venezuela.
So what do we have to be thankful for? Our world freedom ranking has so far only sunken to number twelve in comparison to all other countries. We are still freer than West Africa and North Korea, China. So enjoy your diminishing freedom while it still exists and give thanks that we are not yet Cuba. And it should take a bit longer than a decade to ruin America.
Thank You Again, Congessman Yoho

As we rapidly devolve from a republic which values individual liberties to a dictatorship we still have heroes in Washington willing to fight against the demise of our country by defending and upholding our Constitution. We are fortunate that our Congressman, Ted Yoho, is one of those heroes. Please email or send a Facebook message thanking him for standing firm and confirming your support for his action, the Executive Amnesty Prevention Act. Thank you, Congressman Yoho.
From Sunshine State News:
"U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., offered a bill on Thursday to prevent President Barack Obama from using an executive order to allow illegals a path to stay in the nation. Yoho insisted Obama was overstepping what the executive branch can do and hopes his "Executive Amnesty Prevention Act" will cut him off at the pass.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 gives Congress the 'power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization,' while Article II, Section 3 lays out clearly that the 'the president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,'" Yoho noted about the Constitution. "With the go-it-alone approach of the president on immigration, I felt it necessary to introduce this bill and stop the president from going around Congress and the American people. An executive 'fix' of the law is unconstitutional, temporary, and will establish a very dangerous precedent."
"Yes, the president has prosecutorial discretion – in certain cases – but that does not mean he has the authority to provide blanket amnesty or pardons to 5 million illegal aliens,"
Thank you, Congressman Yoho!

You face a grueling uphill battle everyday and we want you to know that we are solidly behind you. As Joe Vasquez, a great patriot, continually reminds us: STAY MOTIVATED!
Democrat Progressive Policies Determined 2014 Election
November 12, 2014 by Laurie Newsom
Filed under Healthcare, Hot Topics
Very astute analysis of 2014 election results offered by Derrick Wilburn, committed conservative activist. Be sure to read entire article.
"Yet the massive gains by Republicans in the U.S. Congress come at a time when congressional Republicans have all-time low public approval ratings. Indeed according to Public Policy Polling.com congressional Republicans are less popular with the American people than cockroaches, traffic jams, Brussel sprouts, colonoscopies, used car salesmen, and head lice. (At least you can get rid of lice.) But despite the fact that seemingly nobody can stand them, Republicans walked to massive victories. It speaks directly to what the American people think of the current, massively leftist Democrat agenda that over it they would prefer people they can't stand."

Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display
The MacBook Pro was once the domain of graphics professionals, video editors and engineers that needed a huge amount of power in a portable package, but when Apple retired the standard MacBook it became the de facto standard for every would-be screenwriter in coffee shops up and down the country. That all looks set to change with the new generation MacBook Pro, and it's all because of the stunning Retina display.
Looking beyond Apple's jargon (Retina's definition depends on what device you're holding – seeWhat the MacBook Retina display means for youfor details) the 15.4in, 2,880 x 1,800 display is still a world first, squeezing more pixels into a laptop than ever before. A full HD video is positively dwarfed by the rest of the screen, leaving plenty of room for a timeline and playback controls if you're working on a video project. Photos show much more detail without you having to zoom in, making it ideal for image editing.
OS X has been completely overhauled to make the most of the extra pixels, with higher resolution icons and text as well as updated applications. OS X scales up its icons and text to suit the higher resolution so, unlike when running Windows on a small, high-resolution screen, you don't end up with tiny icons that are hard to use. Unfortunately, this means that any programs yet to be updated to make the most of the higher resolution won't render text correctly, leaving it blurred and difficult to read. For example, Safari has beautiful high-resolution text, but the current version of Chrome has jagged text. Google is in the middle of updating its browser, and the latestCanary developer versionrenders its text correctly for the Retina display.
How web page images look depends on how the page is put together. On our home page, the logo looks slightly jagged, but the inline product images in reviews are lovely and crisp, and have more detail than when viewing the same page on a normal 1080p display. This is because the logo has a set resolution, but the inline product images are uploaded at 800×640 and then downsized to fit a smaller space in the web page. The Retina-ready browsers have more pixels in the same physical space, so can load in more pixels from the original image and so show more detail.
The MacBook's IPS panel has near-limitless viewing angles and there's more than enough screen tilt to combat the glossy display finish, which does reflect a small amount of light back at the user. We've never seen anything like this screen before – it's absolutely sublime.
Of course, Apple hasn't just upgraded the screen – the entire laptop has been redesigned, and the aluminium chassis has been slimmed down to an incredible 18mm. Despite the thin proportions, you still get two USB3 ports, two Thunderbolt ports, an HDMI video output, SD card reader and a 3.5mm headset audio jack, so there's no compromise in terms of connectivity.
The internals are all cutting edge too, with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, 8GB RAM, a 256GB SATA3 SSD and dedicated Nvidia graphics. The quad-core i3-3610QM processor runs at 2.3GHz, but can also use Turbo Boost to hit 3.3GHz when thermal limits allow. Unsurprisingly, performance was spectacular – our multimedia benchmarks produced an overall score of 111, which makes this one of the quickest laptops we've ever seen.
The dedicated GT 650M graphics chipset helps when dealing with high-definition video, but it's still capable of playing modern games. There's 1GB of dedicated RAM, which helped lessen the impact of the anti-aliasing in our Call of Duty 4 test. An average frame rate of 30.8 should mean that very few games will struggle to play smoothly – as long as you stick to 720p resolutions. COD4 is still playable at 2,880×1,800, but only with anti-aliasing disabled. More graphically intensive titles will require you to drop detail settings to maintain a solid frame rate. It's also down to developers to add support for the Retina display to their games; currently, Diablo 3 runs at a playable frame rate at 2,880×1,800.

Sound Morphing Strategies Based on Alterations of Time-Frequency Representations by Gabor Multipliers
Sounds morphing is an important topic in signal processing of musical sounds and covers a wide variety of techniques whose aim is to \interpolate" between two sound signals. We present here an approach based on the alteration of time-frequency representation. Time-frequency analysis is a classical tool in sounds analysis/synthesis. A time-frequency lter can be well-dened as a diagonal signal operator in a Gabor representation of sounds. Processing can be performed by multiplying a time-frequency representation with such a time-frequency lter, called a Gabor mask. After estimating such a Gabor mask between two sounds, we explore strategies to parametrize it for static morphing between two sounds. We then compare such an approach with standard and non standard approaches of morphing as dierent kind of sounds combination, notably classical means in the time-frequency domain.

DALLAS - The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) released the Pro-Line Athletic National Player of the Week awards for the period ending May 15, today. Arizona State junior outfielder Matt Spencer was named National Hitter of the Week, while Central Connecticut State junior left-hand pitcher Matt Gianini was named National Pitcher of the Week. The NCBWA Board reviews candidates from each Division I conferences each week and names winners each Tuesday throughout the season. Spencer helped lead Arizona State to a huge weekend sweep of conference-rival UCLA. The Morristown, Tenn., native was 9-12 (.750) on the weekend, with a double, a triple, two home runs, seven RBIs, six runs scored and two hit by pitches. He also made two pitching appearances and played stellar defense all weekend, making several highlight reel catches and throwing a runner out at home. Spencer started the weekend going 4-5 with three RBIs and two runs scored as the Devils erased a 14-7 deficit to claim a 16-14 victory on Friday night. He came up huge on Saturday, homering twice and recording the game-winning hit, a bases loaded walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth that completed another ASU comeback. Sunday his two hits helped ASU once again rally from behind, as he knocked in the tying run in the seventh inning, completing a seven run comeback that ended with an 11-10 Sun Devil victory and the three-game sweep. Gianini had a dominant effort in CCSU's 13-0 win over Wagner in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday. In tossing his second consecutive shutout, the West Haven, Conn., native allowed just three hits and struck out 11 to pick up his third victory of the season. He fanned eight straight Seahawk batters at one point, all swinging, including striking out the side in the fifth and sixth innings. Gianini permitted just one runner to reach second base in the contest. He has not allowed an earned run in his last 15 innings and has struck out 20 while walking just four in his last two starts. In the two shutouts, no opposing runner has reached third base and only two have occupied second base. With this week's honor, Gianini automatically is named to the watch list for the Roger Clemens Award, given to the national collegiate pitcher of the year, sponsored by the Greater Houston Baseball Organization.
