-SourceAlternate sample rates
A lot of common (desktop) hardware supports multiple sample rates. Interesting, among these, are 44100 Hz and 48000 Hz, since all common sample rates can be expressed as a simple multiple of one of these, which implies cheaper resampling, when it is required. Previous versions of PulseAudio only supported opening the device at a single sample rate, requiring all streams that did not match this rate to be resampled. We now support switching the device's sample rate dynamically at run time, allowing us to avoid resampling, or reduce resampling overhead. This should result in CPU and power savings on hardware that supports such switching (most Intel HDA-based devices at least).
as far as looking if your audio gets resampled, you can check that by checking the cpu usage of the program that the sound goes thru
(some is used just to transfer the data, alot more is used for resampling; how much depends on your cpu ofc)
idk much about pulseaudio, but common sense tells me you'd have to resample all audio to some common frequency and bit rate
on most sound cards the signal gets resampled anyway
as for the things written on boxes:
dolby surround is a format for multi channel audio mostly used in dvd's
eax is a proprietary protocol for 3D audio (yes, proper 3D audio is science and takes a little computing power, eax is an engine on creative sound blaster cards)
most modern sound processors on cards support things like openal and others for 3D sound positioning, but im having my doubts as to how much is implemented on the software side in linux drivers/sound API's
eax and things like that need to be supported in your game too, they rarely are
most modern cards have mp3/flac/aac/etc decoders in their chips, but again they have to be written in the driver to be used
only things you can read from a card and be sure it means something usefull is sampling rate/bit rate (but again you probably dont have music/games that go above 48khz/16bit so it dosent rly matter)
and S/N ratio (signal to noise ratio, and i see lots of those data manipulated or just plain faked)
most other things written are just bullshit
interesting thing to know; best surround youl get is from headfones
yes, i know it sounds dumb getting best surround from a stereo source, but when you look at it you have only 2 ears
and the way we recognize where the sound is comming from is by its phase (and thats what 3D positioning means basicly)
PS mp3/ogg/aac etc (and games use them or similar) are faaaaar from the original
they use "psychoacoustics" too cut out a part of the sound spectrum that you probably wont notice missing
that woudnt be bad at all if properly encoded, but almost all i found is just wrong either by the person encoding it(check "loudness wars" for an example) or by the fact that your sound source(speakers and all else in the chain, mostly speakers) isnt perfect
for example you have a DnB song with vocals;
when the bass gets loud, the mp3 encoder presumes you wont hear a part of the vocal
and it would be right if your sound source could put out bass that loud(and in phase), but it cant
so the vocal you can hear clearer then you should(since the bass aint that loud) you hear "zooming" in and out
if you want a good sound card i recommend a cheap asus xonar (DS/DX, whatever is cheaper) since i found they have professional quality sound (i say professional quality sound, not that they are professional quality; but they still ALOT better then all in the price range)

Also, bit perfect isn't nearly as big a deal as people in this forum seem to think.. So long as you select a halfway decent sampler it won't degrade your audio perceptibly.
Seams any topic can be made in to a discussion about PA. Also isn't all this answered in the manual, except for the stuff that is relevant for media players and not sound servers.
As for ALSA - this all sounds like great news, and i am glad to see some improvements coming down the pipe, it can only mean good things. I'd like to find a little more information on 'wallclock timestamp support' and i am also interested in the proposed 'channel mapping API' ... hopefully, we will hear more about this soon.
wait, means you only have 96khz music and you only play games that have 96khz sound etc...
S/N ratio(and hum, that is directly related to it) is important for consumer grade too if you ask me
for example i got big ass rly sensitive speakers that amplify the hum a lot, on the other hand bad amps put in small speakers amplify it a lot(not because they are better/stronger or whatever but because small speakers dont have a dynamic range to speak off so you turn them up a lot)
S/N ratio is clearly faked on motherboard sound cards like your IntelHDA since in that case it depends on your power supply(ever heard wierd hissing when copyng a file?)
on other cards i see it faked by shady test conditions like "96db SNR at 3khz and -9db" what is best for the card, but not standard
all published data on hardware should be tested by a set standard, in case of audio either ISO or AES
funny thing is that digital audio sources should have rly good figures, but assholes save money on simple filters(that go on the power supply of the opamp on the soundcard board)
emulation ?
our ears pick up a lot more dynamic range(they are so sensitive that 0dB is when its so quiet that you cant hear anything else cuz your heart is too loud) then our brain can process
then our brain "calculates" the position of the source of sound based on phase difference(watch a documentary about sharks, its best explained there)
20.4 surround or whatever figure they think up next to sell you crap cant work as good as headfones since your room acoustics will mess it all up
(to set it up properly you need special speakers(i dont mean expencive, but rly special as in i seen one company that makes them and one school that made a few to teach students acoustics) also a lot of calculations and software control of phase, or you could just use good headphones that eliminate the room part out of the equation)
to make it clear to you: "good headphones are A LOT better then the best speakers!" cut they sit directly on your ears, and they have rly light membranes(less sound coloration due to better control of the "driver"(the membrane+coil))
as for the loudness war part, lots of people told me a song is crap encoded cuz its quiet
"remastering" is usually done by experienced people that know what they do, and they do it for money because publishers want their songs to be louder then the competitions on some average hi-fi stereo system
that has even more of an effect on encoding lossy audio like mp3 cuz of the psychoacoustic thing i explained earlier
also your special 96khz software setup probably still resamples everything to 48khz in software since its probably what your card eats so using it too play youtube takes at least 2 resamplings, bout a bit loosy
(not that you can hear the difference anyway)
PS i like prodigy, but put a song from them in audacity

so your just telling me you have rly expensive audio equipment and therefore know better then anybody else ?
whitepapers like this one ?
if you look at the specs, the xonar cards i recommended are better on paper then RME and such expensive cards
(the explanation is... electronics what i doubt you know anything about so i dont wanna confuse you)
(rightmark says they are better in tests too..)
check out Audio Power Amplifier Design Handbook by Douglas Self
the part named "Misinformation in Audio" will tell you about some nonsense you see people talk around
speakers i talked about are special by the fact they are full ranged single driver speakers shaped like a tear(or an egg i guess) to avoid coloring the sound by removing the bouncing of waves off the speakers rims
headfones also should have more dynamic range and also important hold the phase steady (as they have only one light driver(easier to control with less current, less mass) and not two or 3 that cant be perfectly phase balanced)
if you rly want to know i do have a shitty sound card, but i have also professional grade big ass concert speakers (they costed a lot, but since i made most the work myself, they still cost a lot(not that the price guarantees quality)) with rly high dynamic range and sensitivity(i can get you papers on them, not that you showed any papers that prove i sayd anything wrong)
i dont have money for a sound card, but il get a xonar DS for ~40$ that sounds better then your RME (not that anybody can notice the difference)
you have a studio or you just like black heavy stuff ?
PS Sennheiser http://www.sennheiserusa.com/around-...id-size_504765
freq response: 17-22,500 Hz not enough ?
mind also i think they test against AES standard, meaning 17-22,500Hz +- 3dB what rarely any monitor can do

So basically, (you say) headphones deliver across the board and are better than any speaker, except (as i pointed out) for the fact that lower-end frequencies don't really come through them, and more importantly (which i will point out now) really low-frequencies are felt more than they are heard - and even this article says for the best experience use a sub-woofer with headphones...interesting.Originally Posted by from very end of paper above
Headphones give some extra detail (due to reasons you have pointed out), and they do solve the 'gap' problem between speakers, but that doesn't make them better. In a properly acoustically treated room, with a high-end media/theater/studio surround-sound setup - the experience is much richer, to continue to argue that headphones are better than any speaker is silly, when you consider everything that is involved. I personally find headphones to be a good reference / starting point, but a good set of studio monitors in a decent space is better at the end of the day, and you do miss out if only using headphones.
Please explain to me how ANY xonar actually touches this card (they don't), not in quality, performance or stability/reliability... not to mention you can't even use a xonar in a professional studio and certianly they don't touch RME in terms of quality or features.
As far as showing white papers, anyone with any background in music production knows that headphones are limiting ,they are good for basic mixing, but eventually you will want to be using proper speakers. So ya, you are wrong to think headphones are better than even the 'best' speakers.
sorry but no dice and besides we are getting waaayy off topic, continuing is sort of pointless. You think headphones are better than any speaker/sound system, when in reality they don't deliver in the bottom-end and thus don't deliver those particular frequencies properly in the 3d space to be heard via those headphones that are better than any speaker.
I for one know that sound/music/etc is something that is not only heard but felt, to say that headphones are better than any speaker is ridiculous and it seems you are arguing this point just to argue.

Customer Reviews for On Sale Simply Chic Blackout
"Excellent choice!"
By Nomad from Stratford, CT
I have had these shades for about 3 weeks now and I love them. I selected by ordering free swatches, which was a great help! They were easy to install, they fit perfectly and roll up tightly, which was very important to me. I am extremely happy with this purchase!View this product
"Excellent purchase!"
By customer from CT
I needed a blind for a window that's 109" tall, 50" wide, and the bottom of which is 12 feet from the floor. Needless to say, the standard pull string blind wasn't going to work. I did some shopping for a motorized blind and found a this model from blinds galore that was half the price of other websites. It came in a few weeks after I ordered it (custom size). Considering the height of the window and the overall size of the blind it was a challenging installation but that's due to the window size/height, not the blinds themselves. It works perfect and I highly recommend this product.View this product

Hawks win; honor memory of Pappas
Wednesday, April 24, 2013
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — Wins and losses will come and go, but the memory of a fallen teammate and dear friend will drive the Marshwood High School baseball team this season.
"Whether we win or lose, that shirt will be given out," Fernandes added. "We want the boys to try to remember everything that he was about."
Markham hoisted the jersey proudly above his head following the game and said he knows Pappas would be proud of his team.
"It's an honor to be carrying this around," Markham said. "This makes Troy happy. I feel like with this in my hands, I just made him proud."
Marshwood (2-0) staked Markham to an early lead when it scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning against Gorham starter Elliot Spears. Spears walked three in the frame, including Max McCoomb with the bases loaded. After Zach Quintal scored on an error, Jake Lebel cleared the bases with a three-run double to make it 5-0.
The Hawks added three runs in the second, as McCoomb had a two-run triple and later scored on an infield single by Noah McDaniel. McDaniel added an RBI single in the sixth."They came up with some big hits when we gave them opportunities," said Gorham coach Chris Nadeau, whose team is 1-1. "I think (Markham) pitched exactly the right way when you get a big lead. He pounded the strike zone and their defense was very solid."Markham made his first varsity start after pitching in relief last year. He allowed two singles, two walks and struck out two with some stellar defensive play behind him.
"The defense was unbelievable; I have to give this game to my defense," Markham said. "My change-up was working and then I threw my fastball. I had them off-balance a lot, that was the key."

Johnny Hardstaff is a modern storyteller, directing and designing innovative moving image work across a broad spectrum of both commercial and non-commercial strands of the visual arts. Mass media clients include Twentieth Century Fox, XBOX, Philips, Sony, Radiohead and the BBC.
Hardstaff's work has been broadcast worldwide and exhibited at major museums of modern art and cultural institutes including Tate Modern / ICA / Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago) / ACMI (Melbourne) / MOMA (San Francisco) / Laforet Museum (Tokyo) and the V&A Museum (London). His first retrospective was held at the Zero One Design Center (Seoul) in 2004.
Johnny Hardstaff initially studied Graphic Design at St. Martins School of Art, his distinctive approach to visual media nurtured within a maverick and progressive left-field climate unique to the school at that time. A consummate late developer, upon graduation Hardstaff worked exclusively outside of the creative industries, finally making his first short film in 1999.
Amongst his most notable works to date remain 'History of Gaming' and 'Future of Gaming' (two early short films designed to first engender then test corporate patronage, now inducted into the National Film Archive), the Radiohead film 'Like Spinning Plates' (long format two track experimental music video), a contemporary raft of innovative design based commercials (Sony / Philips / Orange / MTV etc) and more recently his short film works. Hardstaff's 'DarkRoom' and in particular his short format promo works and film sequences for Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' and 'The Counselor' ('Hand' featuring Michael Fassbender and Natalie Dormer).
As displayed within his widely documented oeuvre, Johnny Hardstaff remains firmly committed to the pursuit of post-contemporary storytelling, whether it be through commercials, long format advertising, short film formats or increasingly feature films.

CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference
One Cause. One Voice.
Plan to attend the nation's capital for the 2014 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.
Rally for the powerful credit union cause and connect with leaders from across the United States.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
• Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
• Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
• Network with credit union leaders
• Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
• Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry
• Tell Congress our story at state Hike the Hill visits
Please wait for word from Kelly Fuhlbrigge for registration information!
This past year, CUNA and the leagues launched a shared strategic vision for credit unions nationwide: Americans choose credit unions as their best financial partner.
To make our vision a reality, we must come together to remove barriers – like the threat to the credit union tax status – create awareness and foster service excellence. We all need to Unite for Good.
We have an opportunity to accomplish a lot for the movement this year, and need your involvement to make it happen. Come to Washington, D.C. to tell our shared story and protect the credit union difference.
The Compliance Network is a group of CEOs and compliance professionals gathering once a quarter to discuss pertinent issues from a regulatory standpoint. The meetings are facilitated by Judy Britt, League Training and Compliance Coordinator. Attorney Jay Hershman will join us as subject matter expert and participant, providing great opportunity to challenge our understanding of the issues discussed at the meetings. This networking provides an opportunity to share best practices and exchange ideas on meeting the ever growing compliance expectations. You are encouraged to come to one or all the meetings. We look forward to seeing you!
The date for the first networking meeting is February 25th.
Fill out this form and send to Sue O'Loughlin at firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Click here for the February 25th Agenda
CULCT's Strategic Partner Cooperative Systems is back to provide an update to one of last year's more popular sessions on Cybercrime. Presenters will provide an overview of the current environment, what issues are trending and what the credit union can do to ensure they take necessary measures to protect the credit union.
In 2013 the League surveyed credit unions on areas of collaborative interest. The primary area of interest involved IT solutions. We reached out to our Strategic Partner Cooperative Systems and asked them if they would be interested in creating a pricing schedule based on multi-credit union collaboration. This meeting is the beginning of that collaboration discussion. Any credit union that is interested in participating in an IT package collaboration is invited to attend this meeting, which will provide an overview of the concept and look at what the next steps in the process may be.
One Session!
March 4th, League Education Center, Meriden
We are pleased to announce the 2014 Compliance Training Workshops and Webinar series. Hosted by the Credit Union League of CT and facilitated by the experts at M&M Consulting, LLC, these training workshops and webinars will provide comprehensive understanding of upcoming regulatory changes and assist in providing exciting solutions to the regulatory difficulties Connecticut credit unions are faced with.
This year, in an effort to maximize the benefits of this invaluable guidance, the league will provide the opportunity to attend the webinar portion of the series from the convenience of your credit union. As always, the league is happy to provide the webinars at our office in Meriden at no cost to our affiliated credit unions. If however, you are interested in attending from your credit union, the registration fee is $89.00 per webinar/per incoming telephone line. You may have as many employees who wish to take advantage of any particular webinar attend from your credit union provided they are on the same telephone line for this small cost. Registration to attend either option is required.
M&M Consulting, LLC experts will also serve as facilitators in the Workshop portion of this series. These experts are secure in their knowledge, and confident of their ability to convey pertinent compliance information. Affiliated credit unions will leave our Workshop training sessions with an understanding of how to meet the challenges they face in today's regulatory environment. The workshops are available to our affiliated credit unions at no additional cost. Dates will be announced and registration is required.
The first webinar in the series focuses on the confusion around the new mortgage regulations. It is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5th 9:00 am – 11:00 am and will provide comprehensive understanding on how these rules affect the mortgage products and services you provide your members, as well as how to comply with the regulations. This is a great opportunity to obtain additional guidance now that the rules have taken effect and the need for implementation grows with more intensity.
Connecticut credit unions expressed interest in learning more about a new product developed through NCUF – Retirement Fairs. This program, similar to a Financial Reality Fair, is a hands-on experiential program for adults thinking about retirement and interested in practicing living on retirement income. Mark Lynch, developer of the program, will provide an overview of the Fair, then attendees will actually participate in the Fair exercise. After the Fair there will be a debrief with an opportunity to ask questions. The program has been developed in a format that credit unions will be able to use with minimal volunteers and bring to membership events to share with their members. Anyone interested in the program for staff, volunteers and/or membership should attend the program to obtain more information.
Join in an evening of comedy and help raise funds for Connecticut Financial Reality Fairs. Four comedians from the greater Hartford area are donating their time to provide an evening of laughs while we raise money to continue credit union's great work in promoting financial literacy. Bring your checkbook – there will be a silent auction fundraiser in addition to the entertainment.

'The whites of their eyes...'
06 July 2009
'The whites of their eyes...'
Milan. Load in day.
It seems that the 360 production is relatively waterproof, or perhaps it's safer to say comparatively waterproof. We had proper rain last night and yet most of the show elements seem to have survived pretty much unscathed. The biggest problem was under the stage where miniature lakes formed within the waterproofing materials and eventually soaked through. The video screen was the biggest worry (bringing back painful memories of the technicolor constellations of the PopMart screen, post-downpour) but that seems to be about the most robust element of all.
I went into the stadium to work on a few different parts of the show which I feel aren't quite there yet. Lighting segues between songs, some of the video elements of Unforgettable Fire, followspot cues... bits and pieces. Due to reasons of which I've never been entirely clear, whenever you play San Siro stadium you have to face across the field rather than facing the playing lengthwise. There's also quite a large overhanging cantilevered roof, in a tasteful bright orange steel and the overall effect of these two factors seemed to reduce the scale of the stadium to that of a school gymnasium. I'm sure this place used to be really big. We shot the Vertigo outdoor show here and I remember it as being huge, but the proportions of the 360 structure seem to perpetuate the illusion of intimacy on a grand scale. As much as anything, it just felt very odd to see this thing anywhere other than at Barcelona's Nou Camp stadium, having been staring at it for a month in that location.
The crew seemed to be in remarkably good spirits given that they'd just completed the first move of the beast and this move had involved torrential rain. There was much amusement at one side effect of playing across the field. The lighting, sound and video control position has ended up so close to the b-stage runway that we'll practically be able to tune Edge's guitar for him when he passes by. It's very unsettling to be so close to the performers - I hate being able to see the whites of their eyes.
Tuesday 7th July 2009. Milan. Show 1.
There was another monsoon last night which is getting a little beyond a joke and some of the gear has suffered a little. One night of rain still allows time for equipment to dry out thoroughly but three in a row is tough. I was particularly gutted that the mirrorball right at the very top of the pylon (which also happens to be the world's first mirrorball-lightning-conductor, I kid you not) was refusing to revolve. Given its location, once the cranes have left the building it is completely impossible to get to it for maintenance, but them's the breaks. Hopefully it'll dry out for tomorrow.
The band didn't arrive at the venue until gone 6pm, so it was a bit of a mad dash thereafter. I rugby-tackled Bono on the way to the dressing room in order to pin down the set list and get the troops ready for battle.
You can always rely on the Italians to make the party go with a swing and this show was airborne within minutes. Angel of Harlem wandered into a genuinely spontaneous rendition of Stand By Me that absolutely brought the house down. This was followed by a lengthy version of Party Girl featuring a stage appearance by Eve Hewson, Bono's daughter, on the occasion of her 18th birthday. By the time the band brought the acoustic bit to a close with In a Little While, they'd been onstage for the best part of an hour and only got through about a quarter of the set list. Call it a party...
I chose not to do the 'runner' out of the stadium with the police escort, as I had friends at the show that I wanted to see. This meant not getting out of the stadium for hours as we waited for the traffic to clear a little, but at least we had empty and abandoned dressing rooms to hang out in. On eventual arrival back at the Hotel Fabulous the birthday party was continuing in the bar and did so for a good while. I had a few drinks with the Snow Patrol guys, which was very pleasant. It'll be good to have them around over the course of the tour.

A pint with Snow Patrol
Funny....when I saw Snow Patrol recently here in Edmonton, just weeks before they joined you in Barcelona, it struck me, "I bet those guys would be great to sit and have a pint with...." They seem like really great guys and look like they could muster up a bit of trouble before the drinking ends. I bet that was a good bit of conversation...Wish I could have been there with you for that. Cheers. And thanks for all the updates, Vicariously living through you, Heather

Months after DC set me swooning over its Bat-family crossover series Night of the Owls, they've begun another multi-book arc: Death of the Family.
Crossover series feature multiple characters/books focused on a single storyline. Death of the Family involves the characters/books in Batman's "family," most of them superheroes trained by Batman, including Nightwing (former Robin Dick Grayson), Red Hood (former Robin Jason Todd), Batgirl, Batman's son Damian (current Robin) and Teen Titans' Red Robin (former Robin Tim Drake). Plus Catwoman. She and Batman love to hate to love one another.
In Death of the Family, the Batcrew joins once again for an epic battle (are there any un-epic battles?) against the Joker. The arc stretches through February; I'll save my rambling 'til series' end. For now, let's talk digital.
I failed to score any of the October DOTF books: Batgirl #13, Catwoman #13, Batman #13. My friends @Harrisons_ said the books sold out in 30 minutes. I found copies elsewhere, but $20 for a $2.99 book proved too much for even my keen interest.
I purchased the books digitally, using DC Comics' iPad app. I've heard comic book artists speak with varying degrees of enthusiasm about the transfer from ink-saturated paper to intangible pixels. For me, the move was upward.
Many pages of a comic book comprise multiple panels. Take, for instance, this page from Batman #13, part of the Death of the Family arc.
My eyes first take in the big picture, then consume only the strongest visual elements: darkness, text balloons, spotlight, "crack," Commissioner Gordon's horrified face. When reading the page digitally, I have the option of reading small panel to small panel, and I benefit.
The first panel I see – alone – is the top. I process only the dark and the words. I don't see the upcoming action – the "crack" and the horrified face. I begin to read and, in time with Commissioner Gordon, I start to recognize the maniacal voice.
Moving through panels in this slower fashion increased my suspense. I wasn't able to process the full page until I reached the final panel. For me, the experience felt much fuller. Comic books are short; quickly consumed. These digital meals stretched far longer than my paper snacks typically last, and I savored each individual ingredient.
Yes, I missed the slick signature feel of a DC comic book under my fingers, and I wondered if the coloring suffered (I didn't notice if so). I realize I'm not supporting my local comic book store when I buy a digital book. But still, the digital experience made for a much stronger, much closer read and I'm going to continue on digitally for the rest of the series.

Summer's sweet treat: Some strawberry crops get hit by bugs, but some farms still offering PYO
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
DOVER — Seacoast growers have been carefully cultivating their strawberries over the past few months and now it's time to pick and sell their ripest fruit.
To avoid further problematic pest situations, students from the University of Maine Cooperative Extension scout the field and use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) that helps detect if pest invaders will return.
" Our main objective is to determine if insects on farms need to be controlled with certain insecticides," David Handley, Extension vegetable and small fruit specialist, said Monday.
Handley said growers can cut chemical costs while reducing toxins in the environment with this method.
According to Handley, Tuttle isn't alone in being hit by the Asian beetle, as it's a new pest that is becoming established in southern New England. Regardless of the loss of his plants, Tuttle promotes eating local, even if it it's not his berries.
"People are getting to know their farmers and want to know where their food comes from," Tuttle said. "They're smart to do it."
The New Hampshire Department of Agriculture reports that there are 4,200 farms in the state and of those only 90 raise strawberries for sale.
The growers continue to keep Emery Farm going by selling other vegetables and berries, and by offering a petting zoo.
But strawberry pickers shouldn't fret about the availability of their favorite summer fruit.
Applecrest Farm in North Hampton has been inviting people to pick their own berries for 30 years.
Todd Wagner, 42, who owns the farm with his father, Peter, says the fruit makes it feel officially like summer.
"People get excited about strawberries. What's not to love?" Wagner said.
Wagner credits the fullness of the farm's strawberry patches to tricks of the trade and the cleanliness of the crop.
"It's a lot of management, but we tend them well," he said.
Strawberry season is almost over come July, according to Wagner.
"June is the month of strawberries. Come the third week of July and you might be too late," Wagner said. "It's much shorter than you would think."
Wagner said celebrations will be held at the farm this fall, but he encourages all not to wait and to "get out and go to the patch!"

HERE Maps API - Geocoordinate system
This article provides clarity on how the geocordinates are defined and how you can use them in your applications.
Coordinate systems
Everything on a map can be defined by it's geographical position and informed as geographic goordinates. This is done when e.g. search is performed, route calculated, a position geocoded or reverse geocoded or when a Marker is placed on the map.
The two values used by the mapping to represent a position on the map, are latitude and longitude.
The coordinates of these values are measured in degrees, and represent angular distances calculated from the center of the Earth.
The Earth is a sphere in it's form, and it has an axis that it spins around. The two ends of the axis are North and South Poles.
Definition of Latitude
The Equator is a line around the Earth, at equal distance from both poles. Latitude is the Equator, and it is given the value of 0 degrees and is the start point for measuring the latitude. Latitude values indicate the angular distance between the Equator and points north or south of it on the surface of the Earth.
A line of latitude is the line that connects all the points with the same latitude value. This is the general term used to refer to the lines representing values in whole degrees. All of the latitude lines are parallel to the Equator, they are sometimes then also referred to as parallels. They are equally spaced. There are 90 degrees of latitude going north from the Equator, and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N. There are 90 degrees to the south of the Equator, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees S. When the directional designators are omitted, northern latitudes are given positive values and southern latitudes are given negative values.
Definition of Longitude
Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles. Each longitude line is part of a great circle. There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude. Throughout history many different starting points have been used to measure longitude. By international agreement, the meridian line through Greenwich, England, is currently given the value of 0 degrees of longitude; this meridian is referred to as the Prime Meridian. Longitude values indicate the angular distance between the Prime Meridian and points east or west of it on the surface of the Earth. The Earth is divided equally into 360 degrees of longitude. There are 180 degrees of longitude to the east of the Prime Meridian; when the directional designator is omitted these longitudes are given positive values. There are also 180 degrees of longitude to the west of the Prime Meridian; when the directional designator is omitted these longitudes are given negative values. The 180-degree longitude line is opposite the Prime Meridian on the globe, and is the same going either east or west.
Degrees of latitude and longitude can be further subdivided into minutes and seconds: there are 60 minutes (') per degree, and 60 seconds (") per minute. For example, a coordinate might be written 65° 32' 15". Degrees can also be expressed as decimals: 65.5375, degrees and decimal minutes: 65° 32.25', or even degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds: 65° 32' 15.275". All these notations allow us to locate places on the Earth quite precisely - to within inches. A degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. A second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet.
A degree of longitude varies in size. At the equator, it is approximately 69 miles, the same size as a degree of latitude. The size gradually decreases to zero as the meridians converge at the poles. At a latitude of 45 degrees, a degree of longitude is approximately 49 miles. Because a degree of longitude varies in size, minutes and seconds of longitude also vary, decreasing in size towards the poles.
HERE Maps API Coordinate
In the HERE Maps API a new instance of a coordinate object is defined as follows:
new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate (lat, lng, [alt, [skipValidation]])
Note: As most of the use cases currently do not consider height information, the altitude is defined as optional. If a corresponding type is already provided by the platform the product must not implement this class.
'Create a new coordinate
In the following, "myCoord" would be a new coordinate object with latitude value of 50.1, longitude value of 13.2 and height value of 3000, and would not be validated.
>>> myCoord = new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate (50.1, 13.2, 3000, false);
This would read out: 50° 6' 0" N, 13° 11' 60" E { longitude=13.2, latitude=50.1, altitude=3000} Latitude and longitude provided in decimal notation (50.1, 13.2) can be also stored and displayed in a more "readable" format, which can be achieved by using the toString method as follows:
>>> myCoord.toString()
...and would read as: "50° 6' 0" N, 13° 11' 60" E" Note: All degree values must be in range of latitude -180 <= longitude <= 180. Values outside of range throw IllegalArgument error e.g.
>>> myCoord = new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate (190.1, 200.2);
"IllegalArgument: Coordinate: given arguments [190.1,200.2] are not valid" To check if two coordinates are equal, the method equals can be used:
>>> MyCoordTwo = new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate (50.1, 13.2)
...this would read out: 50° 6' 0" N, 13° 11' 60" E { longitude=13.2, latitude=50.1 }
>>> MyCoordOne = new nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate (50.1, 13.2)
Would give: 50° 6' 0" N, 13° 11' 60" E { longitude=13.2, latitude=50.1 }
To check if two coordinates are equal we would use the "equals" method:
>>> MyCoordOne.equals(MyCoordTwo);
This would display as: true
The walk method is meant for calculating a new geo coordinate by traveling a given distance by a specific heading and defined as follows:
walk (heading, distance) : nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate
Example when used on the previously created MyCoordOne:
>>> result = MyCoordOne.walk(90, 5000)
The readout would give: 50° 6' 0" N, 13° 16' 12" E { longitude=13.270100698289994, latitude=50.09997889702792}
This article was written to provide some clarity on how geocoordinates are defined and how the HERE Maps API uses them and how you can use them in your mapping applications.

If you use the New Year to reinvigorate your genealogical research, how long does it take before you are throwing your hands up in frustration all over again? Six months? One month? A week and a half? You are not alone. This year, let's see if we can look at the old genealogical brick wall with new eyes using a few tricks:
- Research Log Re-boot: If you don't have a research log, you may end up repeating research or (worse!) missing clues that you need. Take everything you know about the ancestor and create a research log with it. Yes, this will take some time, but it is a critical part of re-assessing your research. If you already have a research log, or are about to create one, try this idea: Instead of putting your research in the order in which it was undertaken, put each item of found or attempted research into a category, such as probate, vital records, land records, census, military, family stories and bibles, etc. Do you notice any record groups you have ignored? You may have focused more on censuses and military records, and completely missed land records!
- New or Updated Websites: You have some favorite go-to websites, we all do. How about checking someplace that you haven't before, haven't checked in a while, or did not think may apply. Genealogical websites are constantly updating their holdings. Try a new newspaper website like Genealogybank.com (fee-based), NewspaperArchive (fee-based, available free at any LDS Family History Center), The Library of Congress' Chronicling America page, or any local historic newspaper available through your public library's website. I was astounded at the amount of new digitized records available at FamilySearch, and solved a client's research problem right from my home computer with the probate and land records available there.
- Learn Some History. Perhaps part of your research problem is perspective. What happened in your ancestor's area during their life that may have affected the records they would have made? Was a battle fought then? Did county lines change? Were they part of the religious reformation of the early 1800s? A client recently spoke bitterly about a 3rd great-grandfather who abandoned his family. As we looked at the timeline, I asked if the grand-father had served in the Civil War, and on which side. The client had not thought about it before. As it turns out, the ancestral family lived in a part of Virginia severely hit by the tragedies of War, and the grandfather was a young Confederate veteran. We talked about the possibility of undiagnosed post-traumatic stress for both spouses. We may never know exactly what caused their split, but knowing these little bits of history puts the family into a different light.
- Internet-heavy Research: The Microwave vs. the Stove. As researchers, we are so very spoiled (no, I am not complaining). So much is online at our fingertips. However, relying too heavily on sources found online can blind us to records that are only available in State Archives, local historical societies, and local courthouses, etc. Here's my analogy for this problem: In my kitchen I have both a stove with an oven and a microwave. As you can imagine, I use both in almost all of my cooking. I love my microwave because it is fast and easy, however I just can't cook everything in it. Sauces, eggs, pies, cookies, and sauteed vegetables just don't quite work if I use the microwave to cook them. I have to use the stove for some things. Other things I really prefer using the microwave for. In all my cooking, I use both of these tools. In research, your microwave is like internet research: fast and relatively easy. Your oven is more like on-site research or records your order through the mail; it will take longer, but the benefits are undeniable. Use both your tools, and learn the benefits and limitations of each.
- Investigate the Neighbors. If you are stuck, try a completely different approach: Neighbors and extended relatives. Put down your research for that elusive ancestor and start up a new project for a neighbor of the ancestor or a relative (or presumed relative) in the area. You may end up seeing their paths cross with the ancestor you've been working on and give you a new clue for your mystery man. A great tool for this is Elizabeth Shown Mills' new quick-sheet, The Historical Biographer's Guide to Cluster Research.
Hopefully I have given you some ideas. The main point is not to give up. Remember that even if you haven't found that elusive ancestor, you have gained experience and education, and your time is not wasted. Tell us some ideas that you have used to re-invigorate your research, we'd love to hear!
Happy Hunting!

Possession: For hunting, resident citizens ages 15 and over must have a Firearms Identification Card (FID) to possess a low-capacity rifle or shotgun. A License To Carry (LTC) (age 21 and over) is needed to possess large capacity rifles and shotguns and all handguns. These permits are issued by local Police Departments. Non-residents with a valid Massachusetts non-resident hunting license do not need an LTC or FID to possess or carry a rifle or shotgun, but must carry their firearms unloaded and in a case while traveling in their vehicles. Non-residents may not purchase guns or ammunition in Massachusetts. To obtain a non-resident License To Carry or a non-resident permit to possess handguns, contact the CHSB (Criminal History Systems Board), Firearms Support Services (see below). No gun license is needed by bow hunters, nor by minors 12-14 years old hunting with a duly licensed adult, nor for the possession of primitive rifles or shotguns as defined in MGL Ch. 140, Section 121, or their ammunition. However, an LTC or FID is required to purchase all ammunition including black powder and Pyrodex.
Caution: Massachusetts public safety laws define primitive arms differently from the laws and regulations of the DFW.
Travel: Rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders may not be carried on public ways unless the person is lawfully engaged in hunting. When transported in a motor vehicle, rifles, shotguns and muzzleloaders must be unloaded and in an enclosed case. A large capacity firearm must be carried unloaded and contained within a locked trunk or in a locked case or other secure container.
Storage: State law requires that whenever a gun is not under your direct control, it must be kept in a locked container or equipped with a tamper-resistant mechanical lock. Muzzleloaders are exempt from this requirement.
Penalties: License revoked for one year in addition to other penalties; fines of up to $1,000; restitutions; and/or 1 year in jail. Careless and negligent use of firearms: fines of up to $500 and/or 6 months imprisonment and loss of license for 5 years.
Hunter Harassment
Hunter harassment is against state law. Report violations to the Mass. Environmental Police (800) 632-8075 or to state or local police. Be prepared to provide a description of violators and/or a description and license plate number of the car.
Closed Seasons
Closed season throughout the year on all birds and mammals not mentioned herein or in Massachusetts Migratory Bird Regulations published in September. During shotgun deer season all hunting seasons are closed except for deer, coyote and waterfowl.
Open Seasons
The following species may be taken year-round (except during shotgun deer season) by licensed hunters with no daily or seasonal bag limit: English sparrow, flying squirrel, red squirrel, chipmunk, porcupine, skunk, starling, weasel, woodchuck.
Hunting Hours
Hunting hours are from ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset on each day of open season except for:
- Hunting for rabbit, hare, fox and coyote which closes at midnight.
- Spring turkey hunting.
- Raccoon and opossum hunting.
- WMA Reg. #10 which states that no person shall hunt before sunrise or after sunset on any WMA where pheasant or quail are stocked during the pheasant or quail season (Oct. 15–Nov. 26) except for the hunting of raccoons and opossums between 9pm and 3am.
- Migratory birds ½ hour before sunrise to sunset.
Game Check Stations
Hunters who harvest a deer, bear or turkey are required to check their game within 48 hours of killing the animal. For a complete list of check stations visit the DFW website . See general furbearer checking requirements.

PHYSICAL FORM FAQsINSURANCE FAQ's
PHYSICAL FORM FAQs
Where can I get the REQUIRED UW-L physical form?
Several possibilities include:
What do I do about the August 1st deadline if my physical is scheduled after that date?
Get us the completed physical form as soon as your physical is done, however, you will not be able to try out or practice with your team until we receive it.
I sent my physical to UW-L right before I came to school. My first practice is tomorrow and you still do not have it because it is in the mail. What do I do?
You cannot practice until we receive your physical. WE always advise you to BRING it with you if there is a chance we would not get it until after practice starts.
Can I wait to get a physical in La Crosse rather than in my home town with my own doctor?
Yes, but there are only three choices and all require payment for this service. You can call the UW-L Health Center, Gundersen Lutheran Clinic or Franciscan Skemp Clinic for an appointment. Please allow at least a few days to get in. Make sure you take our form for the doctor to fill out and complete.
I had a physical in the summer but it is not on the UW-L physical form. What do I do?
We CANNOT accept a High School form or any other form for incoming freshmen. Most doctors' offices will fill out ourform with the information from your previous physical using that date INSTEAD of getting a new physical.
If I have a physical form from the armed services, is this acceptable?
NO, you must use our form as it must clearly state that you are able to participate in intercollegiate athletics.
Do I need a new physical every year I compete at UW-L?
NO, physicals are good for 5 years. However, if you compete beyond the 5 year limit, you will be required to get a new physical.
What does SSN/SIN mean on the physical form?
SSN is your social security and SIN is student identification number. Only one or the other needs to be on the form.
Do I need to have all the immunizations listed on the physical form?
NO, only list the dates if you have had them. Leaving it blank means you did not have it.
My doctor forgot to sign and/or check the no restriction box on the physical form?
We cannot accept this without these 2 items being completed. You must get your doctor to fill in these vital areas before you will be allowed to try out for the team or begin practice.
I had a physical on April 20, 2004 and your Medical/Insurance Requirements (green page) says that the physical may not be before May 1st. What do I do?
This physical will not be accepted. You can ask the doctor to fill it out again and use the May 1st date. If they decline, you will need a new physical after May 1st.
INSURANCE FAQs
I do not have insurance. Can I play a sport at UW-L and if not, where can I get insurance?
NO, you cannot play until you get insurance. Most students get insurance through their parents policy. If this is not possible, you can go anywhere to get a policy. UW-L does offer a policy and applications are available at the Student Health Center.
My parent's insurance will be changing (sometime) during the season. What should I do?
You must notify the athletic training staff as soon as you know the new information so we can properly change it in your file.
My insurance has not changed since I gave you a copy of my insurance card last year. Do I need to give you a new photocopy or can you just carry over last years copy?
We need a new copy of your insurance card with your name and sport printed at the top
each year.
If I get hurt playing a sport at UW-L and my insurance does not pay all my medical bills, will UW-Ls insurance cover the balance thus eliminating my out-of pocket expenses?
NO, UW-L does not carry primary or secondary coverage on its student-athletes. All athletes are required to carry their own medical insurance.
I am a military vet and have insurance through the VA, therefore, I have no insurance card. What do I do?
Simply bring us a photocopy of your military ID as proof of VA insurance.
Coulee Chase is a 5K Fun Run/3K Family and Dog Walk put on by the UW-L Athletic Training Association in cooperation with the Coulee Region Humane Society. The goal of this event is to raise money for future education and research through the National Athletic Trainers' Association Foundation. A percentage of the money raised will also be donated to the CRHS. This year's event will be held on March 8th, 2015 at Myrick Park. Bring your family, friends, and your best walking pal to have a fun-filled day for a great cause!
