Installing fireplace insert into console stereo
This sounds crazy, and maybe it is. But I'm about to take home a vintage Magnavox console stereo from the 60s or 70s which doesn't work. If I can't easily get it working I would like to look into gutting it and somehow building an electric fireplace insert into the front and center of it. I'd also like to use the cavity space on either side as shelves to hold the living room TV electronics, as the TV is already mounted on the wall, and will be a couple feet above the console. The idea I have is similar to lots of fireplace consoles already on the market such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Real-Flame-G1200E-B-Electric-Entertainment/dp/B00480FC60/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1342792977&sr=8-7&keywords=fireplace+console
I see tons of fireplace consoles on the market, and am wondering how hot the sides of an electric fireplace insert actually become, and what (if any) protecting or insulating material is needed on the sides and rear of the insert, to make it safe for a mounting situation? I have read the manual on several fireplace inserts. They all have precautions about keeping furniture at least 3 feet from the unit, but that doesn't make a lot of sense if they are often sold INSIDE furniture. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

From FNAL- "Frontier Science Result: CMS "
Fermilab is an enduring source of strength for the US contribution to scientific research world wide.
Friday, Feb. 13, 2015
Don Lincoln
Scientists in the CMS collaboration look for many different possible signatures that would reveal new physical phenomena. One interesting idea is massive and long-lived particles that stop inside the detector and then decay. [This is the whole picture. Not well done by FNAL.]
"We are all agreed that your theory is crazy. The question that divides us is whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being correct."
This quote is attributed to Niels Bohr speaking to Wolfgang Pauli when the latter was presenting a new theory in a seminar, but it works equally well when modern scientists make presentations about new theories to try to push forward our understanding of the cosmos. While there is no question that the Standard Model has been an enormous success, there remain unsolved mysteries.
The Standard Model of elementary particles, with the three generations of matter, gauge bosons in the fourth column, and the Higgs boson in the fifth.
The early successes of the LHC have stringently constrained theoretical ideas that have been put forward as possible advances in our understanding of the rules of the universe. This leads scientists to think more creatively.
One such crazy idea (but is it crazy enough?) is that there exist very heavy and stable particles that can be created only in large accelerators like the LHC. Unlike most subatomic particles, which decay in less than the blink of an eye, these particles could persist for long times, ranging from microseconds to years.
A number of theories make these predictions, and one originates in supersymmetry. All supersymmetric theories predict that there exists a set of particles that we've not yet discovered, although the different theories make quite different predictions as to the masses of these undiscovered particles.
Standard Model of Supersymmetry
An example of a supersymmetric theory that predicts long-lived particles is one in which the bosons have a very high mass, while the fermions have a very low mass. One of these fermions is the gluino, which is the supersymmetric analog of the gluon, a boson in the Standard Model.
There are some requirements on the decay product of the gluino. Since the gluino carries color (the charge of the strong force) it must decay into a particle that also carries color. In the Standard Model, this would be a quark. And since the gluino is a supersymmetric particle, it must also have a supersymmetric decay particle. But since its supersymmetric partner would be massive, as all supersymmetric bosons are, the gluino cannot easily decay. The net result is that, under these conditions, the gluino could live for quite a long time.
If such a particle exists and can be produced at the LHC, some of them will be produced with such a low velocity that they will interact with the CMS detector and stop moving, much as a ball rolling over a beach eventually stops. And, once stopped, the particle will eventually decay inside the detector. To be able to better identify these decays, scientists looked inside the detector in periods when no beam passed through it. Using the data, they were able to search for and set limits on long-lived particles with lifetimes ranging from a millionth of a second to more than fifteen minutes.
So we're left with the question: The theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Hopefully with the resumption of LHC operations later this year, we'll finally find out.

Police accessorise with vibrating wands
Don't be alarmed if you're approached by a police officer in a restaurant who requests to wave a wand up and down your body, scouring for a potential weapon.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
That is the message from the South Australia Police who have just been armed with Garrett THD metal detection wands, subtle devices which vibrate upon the discovery of metal.
Limestone Coast operational policemen have been training to use their latest accessory, which will be used to assist in removing weapons from licensed premises.
Issued for the purpose of non-intrusive searches, people must comply with a request from a police officer to submit a search at any licensed premise including nightclubs, pubs, sporting clubs, restaurants and car parks adjacent to nightclubs.
Training and Development Coordinator, Sergeant Rick Grimes, says people should not be alarmed if they're approached.
"The emphasis is that there is no suspicion attached with anyone, so it can be random.
"If we receive intelligence that someone is carrying a weapon then of course we will target that person but people can be chosen at random at any licensed premise," he said.
Introduction of the wands was prompted by a stabbing incident that occurred in Adelaide in 2008 resulting in the South Australian government announcing a change in legislation.
The legislation was implemented in December 2012 in a bid to remove weapons from the community.
The wands, which are 20cm in length, weigh around 200gs and have no audible alarm will be carried by two person operational crews across the state.
In the event that a weapon is discovered from the vibration of the wand, police have the authority to seize the weapon and take appropriate action.
Currently training 105 officers across the Limestone Coast, Sergeant Grimes says if people aren't carrying weapons then they have nothing to fear.
"It's probably going to be a little bit disconcerting to people to start off with, it's a new procedure for us and a new procedure for the public.
"People won't necessarily be targeted, but our officers have been instructed to explain the procedure, to be as polite and courteous as possible to maintain those good public relations that we have with the community," he said.
Every major police station in the Limestone Coast will be equipped with the wands except those with only one officer.

Create A New TV Spot For 'The Dark Knight Rises' And Win!
Reported by Outsiders - 03:33 PM 2012.06.15
Warner Bros. Pictures and the Chrysler brand have teamed up to bring fans the opportunity of a lifetime surrounding the July 20(th) release of "The Dark Knight Rises," the much-anticipated conclusion to the blockbuster Dark Knight trilogy. Today marks the launch of the "Imported from Gotham City" Contest, allowing fans to create an original co-branded TV spot featuring these two iconic brands. Director/writer/producer Christopher Nolan will select the winning spot, which will debut on television around the release of the film.
Contestants will have two weeks to create their "Imported from Gotham City" original commercial utilizing a suite of assets, including: Chrysler 300 car footage, film footage, and music stems from the trailer that contestants can remix for their spot. At the conclusion of the contest, a gallery of submissions will go live on Saturday, June 30, kicking off a four-day public voting period when fans can weigh-in on their favorite Gotham City collaboration.
The top three finalists will be announced online and Christopher Nolan will personally choose the winner. "We're excited for the opportunity to tap into the creative community online and allow those who participate to showcase their talent and passion. We look forward to seeing what unique spots people produce," says Nolan.
The winning spot will be determined by a number of judging criteria, including public vote, originality, creativity, memorability and brand effectiveness. Warner Bros. and Chrysler will debut the winning commercial on national television the week of the film's release - watch for specific date and airing details to be announced shortly. The winner will receive a trip to Hollywood to finish their spot alongside a professional editor before traveling to New York City to attend the red carpet premiere screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," on Monday, July 16.
Playing off Chrysler brand's "Imported from Detroit" advertising campaign, the contest pushes the realm of the user generated contest to a new level, allowing fans to take to the driver's seat and test their creative skills within the world of Gotham City.
Apart from the winning Contest spot, Chrysler will unveil another 30-second, co-branded television spot titled "Imported from Gotham City" in celebration of the partnership with Warner Bros. Pictures. Directed by Stacy Wall, the spot was designed and shot to look and feel similar to the world of the "The Dark Knight Rises." Featuring a 2012 Chrysler 300, the spot will make its broadcast debut on Tuesday, June 19, on the NBC network. A 60-second spot will also run online. Once live, both spots will be available on the Chrysler brand YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/Chrysler.
"The 2012 Chrysler 300 featured in this marketing and advertising campaign was created intentionally to look as if it could be driven on the streets and fit in to the nightlife of Gotham City; it's clearly a vehicle that stands out and makes one take notice," said Saad Chehab, President and CEO -- Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
March 2015
The month of March is gracing us with one of the more favorable energies the heavens allow, a trine between Jupiter and Uranus on the 3rd: At least when it is taken in its most positive light. As with any of the Universal energies, when utilized in their darkest form this one can be very gnarly. Still, the magnanimous leanings of Jupiter and the innovative bent of Uranus bring excellent potentials and I shall endeavor to elucidate you concerning these.
Your solar chart will host these energies within the realms of your past, your family, secrets and fantasies. For some of you there will be opportunities for your family to be extremely connected to the point of some kind of telepathy. For others you will find the home of your dreams. A family member may have an opportunity to work for a large organization like a hospital or a governmental entity.
If you decide to move, or have to for some reason, you will probably chose a large and sprawling subdivision or apartment building with many floors. Retirement communities might also interest you. This change may be difficult for you, as Bulls are not known for their tractability, but you will be surprised by how much more excited about life it makes you and about all the interesting people you will meet.
March is further indicated to be a very important month due to the total solar eclipse on the 20th. NASA has a site called the NASA Eclipse Website which is an excellent tool showing eclipse duration, trajectory and a plethora of other related data. On the upcoming total solar eclipse it appears that unless you live in Svalbard you wont be able to see it. Astrological lore states that the places which can see the eclipse will receive the most power from it as well as the difficulties purported to be spawned by the eclipse. Early astrologers deemed that rulers would fall during total solar eclipses as well as other dire happenings associated with governments.
Those who have a planet in their natal chart in the latest degrees of Pisces will be more apt to feel the eclipses effects and you may be in the spotlight for some reason if you do. Keep in mind too that this is the front end of the eclipse pattern which includes a solar and a lunar eclipse (which will occur on 4/4/15). The total lunar eclipse is the second to the last in a sequence of eclipses which are called blood moons due to the moon turning red, which has Biblical significance (Rev. 6:12). There will be a final lunar eclipse in September which will conclude this triad. These blood moon eclipses are not particularly rare events and you can look up when they occurred throughout history. Often they appear to correlate with events concerning Israel. Perhaps the rising surge of anti-Semitism in Europe, the killing of Christians in door-to-door raids in Syria and barbarisms towards other Faiths particularly in Middle Eastern countries could be associated with this succession of blood moon eclipses.
This solar eclipse will highlight your partnership house. If you are unmarried, you may feel compelled to ask someone to spend their life with you under this auspice. There is a huge subconscious pull in this relationship which will play a big part in its instigation. On the other side of this, someone you consider your best friend or business partner may start getting on your nerves. This is likely to cause some very hard feelings and a sudden break up is a possibility if things have gone on too long. This is a long shot as even the difficult alliances carry synergy unless you have a poorly aspected Jupiter in your natal chart.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
2015 Yearly Highlights
Last year you tried to communicate your ideas to others and perhaps investigated the potentials regarding your notions. This year is a time to put them into action. You believe you know what you want and you know what it will take to get it. Mars is offering you the drive to make things happen. Getting into shape is something which may interest you, and building up your muscles might be a good goal. However, dont overtax your abilities as you will be more prone to strains, muscles pulls and perhaps in rare cases, a broken bone.
Money will come more easily to you in 2015 which is a terrific thing. You can use your communication skills and your intellect, perhaps writing or in association with some sort of travel, to greatly improve your fluid resources. One thing you might want to avoid doing however is talking a lot about how much money you have. Gossips could be listening and then, through them, they might spread it around that you are a bit flush, attracting some deceptive con artists who try to be your friend. Money is a bit like religion and politics, dont talk about it in open forums.
Last year was rather emotionally charged for you in your home life. You may have had a big increase in the size of your family with marriages and births gracing your life. Becoming a parent or grandparent is a certain possibility. For some there may have been emotional upheaval including a move to a place you dont like or people entering your life that get on your very last nerve, probably associated with a marriage in your family, but it could also be a child who has developed a personality that you just dont like much. This year will mellow your experiences a bit and give you some grounding, as well as the knowledge that you are now the matriarch or patriarch of a growing brood of folks who need a great deal of money to survive. Which makes the fact that you are making more money this year, or have that potential to do so, quite a coup does it not? If you do not receive the gift of financial abundance, then you need to take into account the needs and costs of a growing family and budget accordingly. Do not buy a house you cannot afford as this could be detrimental to you later.
The best news I can give you for 2015 is that you have finally gotten rid of Saturn in your house of marriage and partnerships. This is a wonderful sigh of relief for you and not only that, the Universe is offering you feelings you havent felt in ages to compensate for the bereft ones you suffered the last couple of years. If you can still believe in love and commitment after all you have been through on a personal level then you may find a new and exciting love in your life, or at least a fellow soul who has the same passion as you do. This is a meeting of spirits and one you will never forget as long as you live and the passion you feel for one another will be something you absolutely cant ignore. I suppose this is as close to a soul mating as you may ever find. There will also be nurturing aspect to this, either you mothering them, or they you, depending on who most needs this kind of love.
Saturn has moved on to your house of monies you share with a partner or are in charge of managing for a client or other person. Saturn is an austere energy so it isnt likely that the financial aspect will be pleasant overall unless they have an abundance of long term investments, in which case, things will be quite well. Hopefully they will be young enough to enjoy this windfall.
This house is also the house of passion, sex and all lustful endeavors, including those involving partying, drink and drugs. Saturn is only good from this standpoint for those who have long been at their addiction and have a resistance. Otherwise it may signal a dearth of such activities, probably due to aging out of them or from financial considerations. Old rockers will remain old rockers and probably even get better under this auspice. I find this comforting. There is a certain never say die mentality here and it is all about survivors and surviving. Of course, it is also about death, as this is the death house and Saturn is a death sign. We may see some notable dignitaries who have this sign in a personal area and who have lead us faithfully for many years part this life. They shall have had a fantastic life and we will be better for knowing them.
The only other change you will see in your solar chart this year has to do with the house of secrets. Uranus has set up camp here and is operating his subversive, eclectic and strange activities in a very quiet way in your world. However all this weirdness is being joined by Venus this year, making things much less freaky. Venus operates as a guardian angel here and even if there are those who dont want you to succeed you will receive assistance from unusual sources. This is also indicative of some sort of secret fantasy you may have that may be wildly divergent from what those who know you believe you might dream. Hey, so what? As long as it isnt quirky to the point of creepy, you are entitled to your secret wants. Assuming they arent too illegal and immoral I think you should try to attain them. Make yourself happy. This life is difficult and there are often too few stretches of pure bliss. If you have a chance to be blissful, even if it means making a rather dramatic change, go for it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
2014 Yearly Horoscope
I had such high hopes for your 2014 solar chart Bulls. I really did. I was sick and tired of telling you that your partner was an avarice poop and you had something weird hidden in your house of secrets and fantasies. Oh well, I guess we get to slog along in this world for another year. I have to say, I am as unhappy about this as you are because I really am sick of telling you the same things over and over. I am so sorry the Universe is being stubborn.
Last year you had Venus, your ruler, gracing your first house and making life easier for you. This year Venus has moved into your house of secrets. Venus gets along okay here, but she cant protect you like she did last year when she was out in the open and in a more potent angular house. You do have your intellect assisting you this year, as well as your communication skills. This is probably better anyway.
Jupiter, planet of luck and opportunity is sitting in your house of communications all year, so you have a double indicator of a need to keep the lines of communication open. This can also increase your activities in your immediate environment and neighborhood. You could see your community grow or your neighborhood expand under this influence.
Siblings, cousins and extended family will play a greater role in your life. You may decide to take a weekend trip with them or get involved in a community project together. Even if you are older and dont like to get out, you can still be the contact point for activities. If you have never had a luxury vehicle, this might be the year you decide to buy one.
The moon, which is the ruler of the 4th house, is in this house this year, meaning it brings you a special blessing because it is at Home here. In fact, it is actually conjunct the lowest point in the chart. This would be a great year for you to start a home business or approach your boss about working at home. If you have been wanting to start a family, this is also a signal that it is possible for you to do so now. The best thing is that your home will truly be one now and you will feel more comfortable in it than you ever have.
Take care of your health this year. You may need to have some sort of minor surgery, or maybe major surgery, but it should go well. This might be something you want to keep quiet, especially amongst the gossip hounds at your work. Speaking of which, you might have a falling out with someone at work this year. Perhaps more than a falling out, a downright fist to cuffs or claw to face could ensue. At the very least, it will be much more competitive in your work place.
Okay, now we come to your house of marriage and partnerships and I dont have a lot good to say. Saturn is still here and he is retrograde, so debilitated. The north node has moved out but with him there you were fated to be with whoever you were with last year. This year? Not so much. Saturn is still opposing your solar sun, which means your ego is a problem with regard to your partnerships. If you are a bossy Bull you might want to stop that if you want to keep your marriage together. Your partner has the support of siblings, neighbors or some influential member of the community.
If you are looking for love, you can find it with someone older or of a more reticent personality. This person might be a member of the establishment or they might like wearing black or blood red. To meet them you should look to dry places, somewhat stark and barren.
As I move around the zodiac wheel I see I forgot to mention that the south node has moved next to your solar sun. This means that you might not be as shiny as you were last year. As in you might experience a lull in popularity or that your health could be a little affected. Sorry. Probably would have been nicer for you if I would have not mentioned it, but the health part might be worthy of note. Most of you wont have any major issues and you may just be in a low energy ebb. We all have them.
Finally. Venus has entered your house of secrets as I mentioned earlier. This is a helpful auspice for the hidden stuff going on in your life. Venus brings money, friendship and love. If you have been unhappy, perhaps desperately so, you could find some sort of a secret love. If your finances have been a mess, then a government contract could come your way. If you have ever wanted to swim with the dolphins, this is your year to do it.
The elemental energy in your solar chart says you need to be passionate and practical. Odd mix, but I dont make it up, God does. If you are moved by the plight of group of people or a critter, put your heartfelt feelings into practical notions. Your feelings are not really that pronounced this year, which can be good for being practical, but bad for following your heart when you should. The element of air is the least notable in your chart this year, which means laughing it off may not work for you, or that your sense of humor is lacking. On a brighter note, it also means you wont be an airhead, which is always helpful.
I hope you will have an absolutely fabulous year, with fun and prosperity raining down on your world. Please remember to say a prayer for those who are less fortunate, especially the kids with cancer.

Starring: Jiiva, Poonam Bajwa, Vadivelu, JD Chakravarthy, Azhagam Perumal, Kadhal Thandapani, Manohar, Muthukalai, Bava Lakshmanan, Kingkong, Sriranjani

TESTING OF A PRESIDENT: THE LEGAL DEBATE; Tape Release Challenges Secrecy of Grand Jury
By WILLIAM GLABERSON
Published: September 17, 1998
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16— The possibility that a videotape of President Clinton's grand jury testimony will be made public is expanding a debate about whether the investigation of the President may be eroding centuries-old rules guaranteeing secrecy and other protections for witnesses in grand jury proceedings.
In general in American law, grand jury testimony is kept secret to aid prosecutors while they conduct their investigations and to protect people who are investigated from accusations that may be little more than rumor or innuendo.
In the case of the Clinton tape, a complicated legal discussion about the extent to which grand jury secrecy rules might apply in impeachment proceedings has been made more complex by the unique twist that Mr. Clinton's lawyers permitted his testimony to be videotaped, so that any jurors absent that day could view it later. As nervous White House advisers have suggested this week, the flesh-and-blood picture of Mr. Clinton drawing fine distinctions as he is asked about sexual encounters with an intern may be more damaging than any transcript.
Some Democrats on Capitol Hill have suggested that the release of Mr. Clinton's videotaped testimony would appear to be a ''partisan, vindictive approach,'' that would not be used against any other American, as Representative Shelia Jackson Lee, a Texas Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, said.
Release of the Clinton videotape, Representative James P. Moran, a Virginia Democrat said today, ''would say, if you become involved in a political case, you can forget about due process rights.''
''Here, we're establishing one more horrible precedent,'' Mr. Moran said.
There are indications the public may agree. A CBS News poll released today found that 70 percent of Americans -- and even a majority of Republicans -- said it is not necessary for the House to release the tape recorded testimony.
But some Republicans in Congress have argued that it would be irresponsible to, in effect, suppress the critical evidence in the impeachment inquiry: the President's testimony in which the Whitewater independent counsel, Kenneth W. Starr, asserts that Mr. Clinton committed perjury.
The videotape, said Bob Barr, a Georgia Republican on the Judiciary Committee ''helps to gauge the intent'' of the President as he testified. Representative Christopher Cox, the chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, said that the tape was a central piece of evidence. ''The President's credibility is the issue,'' Mr. Cox of California said.
Legal experts say the Congress has authority to release the tape if it votes to do so. The constitutional separation of powers means that no court would likely consider an appeal of any step Congress took in an impeachment proceeding. The White House lawyers have not argued that the House is barred by law from releasing the testimony.
In a news conference today, Mr. Clinton said that he expected his videotaped testimony to be released though he thought at the time that there were rules prohibiting its release. But he said the decision was for Congress to make.
Legal experts were divided about whether the release of Mr. Clinton's testimony would shatter notions of grand jury secrecy. Several legal experts said that, while there are strict rules requiring that grand jury testimony remain secret during an investigation, it is common for parts of grand jury testimony to be revealed in trials. Typically, for example, trial witnesses are confronted with parts of their grand jury testimony when lawyers assert that differences in their testimony show that they are not telling the truth.
''If the public thinks that whatever anybody says in a grand jury is secret forever, that is simply not the case,'' said James Felman, a Tampa, Fla., lawyer who is an expert on impeachment law.
Although grand jury secrecy is an important principle, several experts said, it is a flexible rule that permits exceptions in the trial phase of cases. Prof. Sara Sun Beale, of the Duke University School of Law, the author of a treatise on grand jury law, said the legal test in an ordinary trial is whether there was a ''particularized need'' for release of the testimony.
Lawyers said the release of a full tape of the President's testimony raised different issues than the more typical release of parts of transcribed testimony after a trial had begun. Some legal experts said the release would create an atmosphere of unfairness against the President that was difficult to justify.
But other legal experts said that it was impossible to argue that the release of the videotape would violate some fundamental constitutional principle because impeachment is a unique process.
''This is a political process,'' said Phillip E. Johnson, an expert on criminal law at the University of California at Berkeley Law School. ''I think it's just inevitable that you're going to have to let people look at the President's testimony.''
But several legal experts said that, though release of the testimony would be legal, they had deep concerns about the message it would send to citizens about the rights of Americans called before grand juries.
''If the public took from this the idea that the principle of grand jury secrecy isn't being observed, there would be a lot of damage from that,'' said Professor Beale.
Beyond the legal concerns many of the legal experts said, was a much more practical issue. If the President's lawyers had not acquiesced in the idea of taping his testimony, there would be no tape that was destined to find its way to television.

This is another captivating book by an author who skillfully bri
This is another captivating book by an author who skillfully brings you into all of her stories and allows you to read, feel and sense the drama and humanity experienced by all of the protagonists. Each of McKenna's books are very special and are worth reading because when you finish the last page you are left with something precious that you will always remember.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
I continue to be captivated by how real her characters are. Her descriptions of the protagonists in the story as well as their surroundings are so vivid that you feel that you are part of the story plot and are able to experience and visualize each moment described in the book. What is unique about all of the books written by this author, is that with her gift of words, by sheer magic, she allows you to LIVE through the story as it unfolds and gives you, the reader, a chance to EXPERIENCE the words on each page. This author enables you to become so captivated with the plot and all of its characters that you can't wait to turn the page. And as you turn the page, you feel like each word, each sentence, each paragraph is carefully used in order to give you a full sense of being very much a part of the story that's unfolding. Just like a gifted musical conductor uses each instrument and musical note in a finely tuned orchestra to give the listener a musical experience that is never forgotten, Ms McKenna is able to achieve that very same thing with her gift of words.
As with all of McKenna's books, I can't put them down till I get to the last page. When I do that, I am filled with mixed emotions because there is always a happy ending and, yet, I am sad because I have reached the end of the book. Well...that's when I pick up the next one where the saga continues with some of the same characters of the original story I read.
I highly recommend this author!

SilverStone Strider Gold Evolution 1000-watt Power Supply Review - Inside the BoxWe take our final look at the SilverStone Strider Gold Evolution series to find out if the 1000W model is a good compromise between the 850W and 1200W models.
Inside the Box
The unit is packed well inside the box with an inch of foam above and below the unit. Modular cables and accessories take up the rest of the space and make for a snug fit.
SilverStone's Strider Gold Evolution comes in the rough textured black finish. On the top is the SilverStone logo stamped into the enclosure.
One side of the power supply displays the I/O specification label and serial number.
SilverStone chose to leave one side of the power supply blank.
The modular connections on the front are labeled neatly. There is no need to list what rails are where as the unit only has a single 12V rail.
The back houses the standard honeycomb mesh grill. There is no on/off rocker switch for the unit. If you want to kill the power to the PSU, you must unplug the power cable.
The bottom houses the 139mm fluid dynamic bearing Air Penetrator fan.
The 1000W is the middle of the road when it comes to cables. There are quite a few more with the 1200W, but just one less with the 850W. The PCI-E cables have additional capacitors soldered inline to help reduce GPU whine.
SilverStone gives you plenty to work with. Aside from the AC power cables are a handful of Velcro cable ties, four zip-ties, a set of thumbscrews for mounting the unit, a set of regular screws for mounting the unit and a magnetic fan filter.
Also included with the unit are two user manuals. The one on the left is a generic manual in multiple languages while the manual on the right is contains specifications just for the Strider Gold Evolution series of power supplies.

Company offers its home page advertisers a bonus cause-related ad unit.
In a bid to provide additional value for advertisers purchasing display campaigns, AOL has rolled out a new ad unit on its home page to allow brands to highlight philanthropic causes they might be involved with.
Brands buying a home page campaign with the portal will have the opportunity to make use of the unit - which is displayed under the main home page ad placement - but are not required to do so. AOL will fill the unit with causes from the Ad Council or Network For Good if no advertiser causes are filling it.
"We see this unit as added value for our homepage campaign advertisers," Christa Zambardino, a sales director at AOL told ClickZ.
Toyota was the first brand to make use of the cause unit last week - in conjunction with a home page takeover - to promote its TogetherGreen initiative, through which it is funding projects in partnership with conservation group Audubon. Today the unit is displaying an ad appealing for donations to HelpAge USA, via Network For Good.
"It's an evergreen placement, and we plan to promote a different cause every day of the year," said Blair Cobb, senior manager of cause marketing at AOL. The company will be entirely agnostic, allowing advertisers to dictate which causes they promote. "It's a vehicle for our advertising partners to say what it is they care about," Cobb said.
AOL has been experimenting with its ad offerings of late, in attempts to increase the value of inventory on its properties for advertisers. The company has scaled back the volume of ads published on its pages, but also trialed new ad formats such as its Project Devil unit. The product allows advertisers to pull a range of multimedia and social content into a single giant ad unit, through a module-based platform.
The company recently reported its display ad revenue continued to drop in the third quarter of the year, but CEO Tim Armstrong said he expected "signs of a turnaround" for the company in 2011. Overall, revenue fell 27 percent in the third quarter versus the same quarter last year.

Convenience and beauty are two words I would use to describe this location.
What a wonderful getaway! The woman who owns the place was kind and inviting but also gave us our privacy while we were visiting. The place was spotless and had everything you could want with a beautiful view and it had easy access and was close to restaurants and gift shops. Great place to stay!
We had a great stay. I don't have any complaints. It is a very comfortable and cozy place that is perfect for a romantic getaway.
Drive off the ferry and up the hill, head north for a few miles and, shortly before you get to Eastsound, turn right off the road onto a wooded dirt road… as you pass through the trees begin to feel your cares fall away.
Heidi met us after we pulled up to her guest house and gave us a quick introduction to the home and the nearby restaurants. The guest house is simple yet elegant, tasteful yet comfortable. Our first evening we quickly got settled in and then went out to dinner to one of the restaurants she suggested. The next morning we got up, made breakfast, then sat and talked over coffee… until well after noon!!! It was so relaxing and peaceful we had no idea how much time slipped by! It was exactly what we were looking for to reconnect with each other.
We agree with others, the pictures don't do it justice… the decor and the ambiance (the lighting was fabulous!) gave a feeling of comfort and tranquility. We will stay here again.
We had a wonderful relaxing, restful, and enjoyable week in this cottage. We were able to sit on the cove watching the boats, birds, or read in chairs down at the water. The one day it rained we used the wood burning fireplace to keep cozy and warm while watching TV and reading. We cooked in sometimes, but generally ate at one of the several really good restaurants in the nearby town.
Our cove was private and we only saw Heidi a couple of times. The kitchen was fully equipped and the antique fixtures and décor were very pleasing and functional. The pictures don't really do the property justice. We would definitely plan to vacation here again if we decide to come to the area. The location is very convenient to the ferry, grocery, and town.
We had a wonderful few days here - The owner has great taste and has created a charming retreat (most suitable for a couple or solo retreat). The place is nicely furnished to a high standard and is cosy with lovely views. The kitchen is well equipped but (due to regulations) there's not much by way of spices etc so best to come prepared if you plan to cook. There is a Weber grill and we did a bit of both - dining out in nearby Eastsound as well as grilling. We also passed many a pleasant hour down by the water - there's a fire pit, comfortable chairs and a table outside and we found it so relaxing. The island is lovely - Mt. Constitution and the national park nearby. Owner pleasant but unobtrusive - her home is close by but there is great privacy and peace and tranquility. Absolutely adored Judd Cove and this comfy retreat. Lovely claw foot bathtub and great storage. Wifi a bit slow but frankly this is the perfect place to detach from the web and read books and relax. Look forward to another visit!
We rented this charming cottage on Orcas Island for a week this past summer. I have to admit that this was the best vacation I have ever been on. I have used VRBO several times and this was overall the most successful experience. This rental property really offers an outstanding price for all of the amenities and location. Judd Cove is about a 10-15 minute drive from the ferry landing, 5 minutes from downtown Eastsound and a 10-15 minute drive to Moran State Park. The property is well kept and clean, has a great kitchen with everything you might need for meal preparation, has internet and cable and in unit washer and dryer. The owner of the property is a wonderful woman and she allows the renters to enjoy her gorgeous property; we built a bonfire on the shore, walked down to Judd Cove and spent time by the small pond. Overall, I could not say enough about my time in the San Juan islands and I know that part of the experience was the wonderful stay we had here. The cottage offered everything that we could have asked for and more. Looking forward to going back!

"Shorr: Goongi Kankoo ki Bolti Kahani" kicks off on Sahara One. A chat with the protagonist
"Shorr: Goongi Kankoo ki Bolti Kahani is a new show on Sahara One, where the protagonist Kankoo, essayed by the beautiful and vivacious Snigdha Srivastava, is speech impaired. Kankoo's future, her hopes, her dreams and her ever-shining attitude is the crux of this show.
Snigdha Srivastava speaks about the show:
How did you manage to bag the lead role in the soap?
Well, I actually got a call for the auditions from the production house but I still had to go through the whole audition procedure. Auditions went on for about seven to eight months and there were people auditioning from around the country and, luckily, I got through. The writer was sceptical if I could actually do it but when he saw the first episode he told me they made the perfect choice.
Have Do you signed any kind of two or three-show deal or three deal contract with the Jay Mehta Production House as this is your second serial with them?
Oh no, absolutely not. The producers like me a lot, especially Kinnari Mehta, as I've worked with them earlier, hence they called me for the auditions. This was just a matter of chance and run of luck.
How difficult was it for you to portray such a kind of role?
It was difficult for me to portray the role because Kankoo is different from others; she's speech impaired. So I had to learn how to express my feelings without the use of words. I can't use sign language too because Kankoo is an uneducated girl and the setup is in a small town in Gujarat, so emoting was a little difficult. Also, this character is totally different from my real life because I'm of a reserved nature while Kankoo is very lively, vibrant, energetic, and peppy. Kankoo is chirpy but I'm not, so this character is totally opposite to what I am.
Any specific training that you took before delineating this frame?
I went through a 20-day workshop with Vikas Kadam. This workshop gave me a good brush-up. Bit by bit I learnt that how Kankoo will be interacting with people, telling them what she wants and wishes.
The first day of the workshop was fun; I had to interact with shopkeepers without their knowing that I can speak and express myself through actions. Kadam made me sit with a group of people and with them I had to act like an aphasiac and still talk through my actions.
What is the USP of the show?
The first time on Indian television someone has came up with a unique concept where the protagonist is a girl with speech impairment. Also, I, playing the same, have a huge responsibility of standing up to the expectations of my producers and team and execute what they want from this character.

text: http://youtu.be/BcR00jFh7Xg A video about Corporal Punishment and the Educational system (in regards to such measures) in Japan and Tokyo. -------------------------- Follow me on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/TokyoZeplin Follow me on Twitter! https://twitter.com/TokyoZeplin Or my music website/blog: www.zeplin.jp -------------------------- This is of course purely based, as I said, on my own experiences with people in Tokyo, and unless otherwise noted has nothing to do with facts or statistics. This was something I thought I would make a video about, after Gimmeaflakeman created a video talking about the recent suicide of a Japanese student after he was publicly punished by a teacher. Really a strong video about corporal punishment in japanese schools. The link to Gimmeaflakeman's video is this: "体罰 corporal punishment. (International Poll): What do you think about it?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKzrRviTQjE chillinkansai also has a video up on the same subject, with more insight on japanese corporal punishment: "Osaka Board of Education, coaches, and loss" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIhjihPc8Uc The article with the suicide of the student can be found here: "Student commits suicide after being beaten by school basketball coach" http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/student-commits-suicide-after-being-beaten-by-school-basketball-coach A quote: "Corporal punishment is banned in schools in Japan. However, after the boy's suicide, the school conducted a survey of 50 past and present members of the basketball club. Twenty-one of them said they have been physically punished by the teacher, the education board officials said." This has resulted in many speaking out against corporal punishment, such as can be seen in this article about the issue here: "Kuwata rejects corporal punishment" http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/sb20130113j1.html A quote: "In 2009, a former sumo trainer was sentenced to six years in prison for his role in the fatal beating of a young wrestler during training. Former trainer Junichi Yamamoto ordered three wrestlers, in the name of practice, to beat 17-year-old wrestler Tokitaizan, hitting him with beer bottles, a baseball bat and hosing him with cold water. Tokitaizan, whose real name was Takashi Saito, collapsed after practice and died in June 2007. An autopsy showed bruises and injuries that prosecutors said showed his ordeal was not from training." I briefly mention a survey done on teachers in Japan, on their opinions on corporal punishment or physical punishment in schools. That survey/article can be found here: "Many Japanese Teachers Favor Corporal Punishment" Nichi Bei Times, San Francisco, USA, 21 November 1987 http://www.corpun.com/jpsc8711.htm A few quotes: KOBE -- About 60 per cent of junior high school teachers said they felt corporal punishment was necessary, according to a questionnaire that the Kobe Municipal Teachers Union recently conducted among its entire membership. ////// At elementary schools, two per cent of teachers supported physical punishment, 47 per cent said they sometimes felt it was necessary ///// Meanwhile, an official in charge of junior high school student guidance at the Education Ministry said the results were regrettable in that corporal punishment is forbidden by law. Of course, the article is old and outdated, over 20 years, but it goes to show the attitudes of Japanese teachers to some degree.

Drug-Drug Interactions
Question | Discussion | References | CME Credit
Case 5: Discussion
Background and Metabolism of Statin Drugs
The use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), especially with regimens that include protease inhibitors (PIs), predispose patients to a number of metabolic complications, including hyperlipidemia and lipodystrophy[1,2,3]. The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, commonly referred to as statins, work by decreasing synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, and these agents play a critical role in treating hyperlipidemia associated with the use of HAART. As shown in Figure 1, most of the statins undergo significant metabolism via one or more of the cytochrome P450 isozymes located in the gastrointestinal tract and liver, but some have minor or no metabolism via the cytochrome P450 system[4]. Lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin (Zocor), and to a lesser extent, atorvastatin (Lipitor) undergo significant metabolism via the cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) isozymes. Fluvastatin (Lescol) is metabolized predominantly by CYP2C9 isozymes[5]. Rosuvastatin (Crestor) undergoes minimal metabolism via cytochrome P450 (CYP2C9 and CYP219) and is primarily excreted in a non-metabolized form in the feces[6]. Pitavastatin (Livalo) undergoes metabolism predominantly through glucuronidation (UGT1A3 and UGT2B7), with some minor metabolism via CYP2C9 and CYP2C8[7]. Pravastatin (Pravachol) depends on glucuronidation for metabolism, has minimal interaction with the cytochrome P450 system, and is excreted in an unchanged form[8]. The United States FDA required removal of cerivastatin (Baycol) from the market in 2001 because of the high incidence of rhabdomyolysis[4]. Any drug that inhibits the cytochrome CYP3A4 isozymes can increase the level of statins that are metabolized via the CYP3A4 pathway. All of the PIs and the non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) delavirdine (Rescriptor) inhibit the CYP3A4 isoenzymes and thus have the potential to significantly increase statin levels. No significant interactions occur between statin drugs and nucleoside (or nucleotide) reverse transcriptase inhibitors, integrase strand transfer inhibitors, or CCR5 antagonists. Interactions between antiretroviral agents and lipid-lowering agents in the fibrate class are unlikely to be clinically significant. In addition, antiretroviral medications do not interact with ezetimibe (Zetia), a lipid-lowering agent that works by decreasing absorption of dietary cholesterol in the small intestine.
Interaction of Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors and Statins
Nevirapine (Viramune) and efavirenz (Sustiva) have the potential to induce CYP3A4 and thus reduce the level of statin drugs that are metabolized via CYP3A4. Although efavirenz is a mixed inhibitor and inducer of CYP3A4, it primarily induces metabolism of CYP3A4 substrates. Co-administration of efavirenz (600 mg) with either simvastatin (40 mg once daily), atorvastatin (10 mg once daily), or pravastatin (40 mg once daily) resulted in significant reductions in the AUC at 0 to 24 hours for all three statins: 58% reduction for simvastatin, 43% for atorvastatin AUC, and 40% for pravastatin[9]. A separate study found that patients on an efavirenz-based antiretroviral regimen who received simvastatin (20 mg once daily) had good but not optimal decreases in their low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and no major adverse effects[23]. Etravirine (Intelence) is an inducer of CYP3A, but an inhibitor of CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and P-glycoprotein. Efavirenz, nevirapine and etravirine have the potential to decrease plasma concentrations of statins and thus lead to a reduced lipid-lowering response. Rilpivirine (Edurant) is not likel to cause significant alternations in the levels of statins. Delavirdine inhibits CYP3A4, but this antiretroviral medication is rarely used used[10]. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Antiretroviral Therapy Guidelines include recommendations[11] regarding concomitant use of statin drugs with NNRTI antiretroviral medications (Figure 2).
Interaction of Protease Inhibitors and Statin Drugs
All PIs are metabolized by the cytochrome isozyme CYP3A4 and all inhibit CYP3A4 to some degree. Accordingly, all PIs can increase the plasma concentration of the statin drugs that also undergo metabolism via CYP3A4. The degree of PI inhibition of CYP3A4 varies, with the greatest effect caused by ritonavir (Norvir)-boosted PI combinations[10]. Investigators have performed pharmacokinetic studies in healthy subjects to evaluate the drug interactions between statins and PIs. In one of these studies, a 40 mg dose of either simvastatin, atorvastatin, or pravastatin was administered with the dual PI regimen of saquinavir soft gel capsue (Fortovase) 400 mg twice daily and ritonavir 400 mg twice daily (Figure 3)[12]. The PI combination had a dramatic impact on simvastatin, with the area under the curve (AUC) of simvastatin acid, the active form of simvastatin, increasing by 3000%. The AUC of total active atorvastatin (which is the sum of atorvastatin plus two active metabolites) increased by 79%. Surprisingly, the AUC of pravastatin decreased by 50% in the presence of saquinavir plus ritonavir. No serious adverse events occurred during the study. In separate study, nelfinavir (Viracept) given concomitantly with pravastatin caused a 47% decrease in AUC of pravastatin[13]. Nelfinavir 1250 mg twice daily taken with either atorvastatin (10 mg once daily) or simvastatin (20 mg once daily) caused a 74% increase in the AUC of atorvastatin and a 505% increase in the AUC of simvastatin[14]. Co-administration of lopinavir-ritonavir (Kaletra) with atorvastatin (20 mg once daily) caused a 5.8 fold increase in atorvastatin AUC, whereas lopinavir-ritonavir given with pravastatin (20 mg once daily) had relatively little effect on pravastatin[15]. The DHHS Antiretroviral Therapy Guidelines[11] include recommendations regarding concomitant use of statin drugs with NNRTI antiretroviral medications (Figure 4).
Potential Manifestations Associated with Statin Toxicity
The most significant adverse effects associated with statin use have consisted of skeletal muscle injury and hepatic dysfunction. The manifestations of skeletal muscle injury may include myalgias (2 to 11%), acute myositis (0.5%), and rhabdomyolysis (less than 0.1%). Although the risk of developing myopathy in patients taking statins is very low, it increases substantially with concurrent use of drugs known to inhibit CYP3A4 isozymes[16,17]. Rare reports exist of life-threatening rhabdomyolysis resulting from drug-drug interactions with CYP3A4 inhibitors and statins. The laboratory manifestations of myopathy consist of elevations in one or all of the following: creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase, and transaminases. Severe cases of drug-induced rhabdomyolysis may lead to acute renal failure and severe electrolyte imbalances. Several case reports have described these toxicities in patients receiving statins with protease inhibitors and statins[18,19,20,21]. Delavirdine has been implicated in a case report of severe rhabdomyolysis and acute tubular necrosis when co-administered with atorvastatin (20 mg once daily)[22].
