Jackson late last month announced she would not serve for President Obama's second-term. Industry representatives in the past have praised McCarthy for having a good grasp of issues that concern the chemical industry, and say that she has been open and frank regarding key issues affecting industry.

Brainwavz S5 In Ear Headphones
" Brainwavz are at it again with their new 10mm dynamic driver based IEM named "S5". I must say I was intrigued to try the new sample and where they'd come from Brainwavs B2 I owned many months ago (and loved). S5 takes on an a new elegant design, rather modern appearance and although a little larger than we've seen still fits the bill nicely with its stealth..." --H20Fidelity
Brainwavz S0 In-Ear Headphones
"Recently I was contacted my Brainwavz to sample one of their brand new products. This review however will be a little different from others and quite a bit shorter as we're only doing some basic design impressions and mostly what counts, the sound to give you guys out there a grasp on S0's signature. To my understanding Brainwavz S0 is a budget orientated in ear headphone that's..." --H20Fidelity
Brainwavz R3 Revised Edition
" Packaging & Accessories The R3's box packaging comes with clear plastic window that showcase the IEM and its cable. Kudos to Brainwavz for the generous accessories where you will find :-- 1 x Comply T500 tips- 6 Single-flange silicone tips (3 pairs gray & black)- 1 x Single pair of bi-flange & Triple-flange tips- 1 x ¼ inch adapter- 1 x Hard..." --Wokei
Brainwavz Delta
" Introduction I first got to know the company few months ago, when I was looking for a portable amplifier. They were about to release or they have just released the Brainwavz AP001 portable amp, so this was my starting point. I then visited their website http://www.yourbrainwavz.com/index.php, became interested with their products and decided to buy some and try them. The..." --Danihell
Brainwavz B2 Dual Balanced Armature Earphones
"Summary of my experience with these: Build: Feels cheap and plasticky. In fact the box appears better made than the earphones. :) Treble: Very detailed, forward and sharp. No real sibilance BUT is very fatiguing after even after short listening sessions Mids: Again very detailed but there appears to be some forward and some recessed elements depending on the track you are listening to.

Brainwavz R3 Dual Dynamic Driver Earphones
"Quick Summary: While these earphones have a really "unique" design to them, once you get over this, you will be rewarded with a beautifully balanced sound. I would put them on a similar tier as the very popular, and head-fi favorites Hifiman re400 and the Vsonic GR07. This is very high praise, let's find out below! I want to thank Brainwavz for their patience and for sending a pair of..." --Tom22
YUIN PK3 Earbuds
"Looking at the picture of the PK3's I wasn't expecting much. They look and feel cheap using a generic case for the drivers making them easy to fake.

" Me: I am a 21 year old Engineering student living in a small town in India. I would like to call myself a music enthusiast, rather than an audiophile.

Eventually, I found the pleasure of listening to music mainly by the HD600 and recently, by the..." --YoYo JoKeR
Brainwavz R1
"I'll start of by saying these are a pair of really respectable headphones and these are my subjective opinion on them. At their price point, I think you'll be hard pressed to find anything better without going higher in pricing They perform well for their price. All in all, a good pair of headphones just for casual everyday listening of music. Audiophiles will not be impressed however...." --cjs001

Welcome to Custom Corntoss, the makers of some of the most popular bags and boards for playing cornhole. Corn Toss, or Cornhole as it is often called, became popular in the Midwest. Jason, the founder of Custom Corntoss is originally from Ohio where the game is thought to originate. When Custom Corntoss was founded, the term cornhole had not yet been popularized. The game now has grown in popularity and custom cornhole bags and cornhole boards are very much in high demand.
Great as a tailgating game, in a league tournament or at a company picnic, the cornhole game is a great addition to any event. Custom cornhole bags can be embroidered with a company logo and custom cornhole boards can carry the emblem of your favorite team or school. Our cornhole boards and cornhole bags are custom made to the official regulations. From plain to insane, Customcorntoss.com has a product for you. Let our cornhole products be at your next event.

A male who, like it or not, is indefinitely your brother and may haze the crap out of you, or love you to death. This male may be a real blood-relative, or may be a friend so close to you that you act like siblings. There are many variations of brothers, but "bruddah" is the best kind, because successfully or not, they try to fix all your problems and buy the world for you even when they're living in a cardboard box. Like every brother, "bruddahs" have their problems with you, but no matter how bad the problem is, they still stick together.
On Celebrate-A-Brother day, I honored my bruddah Alex Hud.

Gallery: Cool Cloud-Shaped Prefab Retreat Treads Lightly on the Earth i...
It was prefabricated and delivered to its current location with ease.
The Cloud was prefabricated and then delivered to the Park of the Hermitage in Lormont. Treading lightly on the earth is central to the park's philosophy, so travelers who book the minimalist space are required to pack in and pack out whatever they may need to stay there. Made out of wood and plexiglass, this is a stellar example of prefabricated micro-architecture that does not take up more than its fair share of materials or space!
From now until the end of October 2011, travelers in France may make reservations to use the shelter for free.

Seven big banks heed regulators' concerns about executive pay
Blog Entry:
April 23, 2013 9:32 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Seven large financial services firms, including Cleveland-based
PNC Financial Services Group
, are
listening to the concerns
of regulators about the size of executive pay and its role in financial industry risk-taking,
The Wall Street Journal
The newspaper says the firms "are scaling back the maximum bonuses awarded to executives who beat their performance targets," according to regulatory filings.
"Late last year, the Federal Reserve began contacting banks about their compensation plans, said a person familiar with the phone calls,"
The Journal
notes. "In regulatory filings, many of the firms cited the Fed as a reason for changes."
The newspaper reports the seven firms recently cut their maximum performance-based bonuses, according to a study set to be released soon — possibly today — by Compensation Advisory Partners. The study examined practices at 23 of the largest financial-services firms.
Typically, the firms "promise to give top executives a certain number of shares if they meet their targets over several years, and to give them more if they exceed their targets, up to a limit,"
The Journal
says. But the Federal Reserve "grew concerned that the programs were too sweet for big banks," and last year it "urged certain financial-services firms to cap bonuses at a lower multiple of the target payouts, usually 125% or 150% instead of 200%."
PNC did just that, reducing the payout to 125% of the target award. It then approved $2 million for an additional compensation pool to be divided among the affected executives,
The Journal
Starting points
Incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces long have been attractive places for venture capitalists looking for new, compelling startups. But Forbes.com
the venues now are "proving to be rich in networking opportunities for lawyers, accountants and business advisors."
These days, "it's possible to find professional services companies walking the corridors of startup breeding grounds and co-working spaces," according to the website.
The story notes that locally based
CBiz Inc.
signed a deal last December to "provide fledgling companies at
with free accounting, tax and payroll advice to start relationships that may in the future yield big returns should some of those young firms strike gold."
(For what it's worth, AlleyNYC, based in New York City, bills itself as "the most badass co-working space on the planet.)
Such deals make sense because young companies "can benefit from professional services that offer, for example, information on negotiating options, organizational charts or how equity comes into play," according to Forbes.com.
State of the liberal arts
The Columbus Dispatch
that the rising cost of college "has rekindled the debate about the value of a liberal-arts education," with governors in at last three states questioning the value of such degrees as history, literature and philosophy.
But several central Ohio college officials tell the newspaper that a liberal-arts education has never been more important as employers complain that graduates lack communication, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
"The problems of the 21st century — 9/11, the global economic meltdown, terrorism in Boston are complex and don't come in neat little boxes," says Victoria McGillin, the provost of
Otterbein University
, a private liberal-arts college in Westerville.
She tells the newspaper that Otterbein students take classes in the arts, literature, natural and social sciences and religion and philosophy so they are well-rounded. Otterbein also gives students real-world experience; they are encouraged to do volunteer work and undergraduate research, travel abroad and seek internships and other job experiences.
Association of American Colleges and Universities
released a survey this month showing that employers want more than knowledge about a particular field.
According to the survey, 93% of the 318 business leaders surveyed in January agreed that a "demonstrated capacity to think critically, communicate clearly and solve complex problems" is more important than a job candidate's major,
The Dispatch
"The group of liberal-arts schools also announced a compact among more than 100 schools and businesses to ensure that students get the broad knowledge and intellectual skills they need to succeed in jobs," the newspaper says.

A file format is a particular way that information is encoded for storage in a computer file. Since a disk drive, or indeed any computer storage, can store only bits, the computer must have some way of converting information to 0s and 1s and vice-versa. There are different kinds of formats for different kinds of information. Within any format type, e.g., word processor documents, there will typically be several different formats. Sometimes these formats compete with each other. File formats are divided into proprietary and open formats. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: File format)

More Info | Print Illusion
Optical illusions are often described as visual images that differ from reality - the eyes and brain 'sees' something that doesn't quite match the physical measurement of the image. Optical illusions can work in various ways, they can be images that are different from the objects that make them, they can be ones that come from the effects on the eyes and brain through excessive stimulation, and others where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.

Chicken Piccata is an Italian chicken dish served in a lemon, wine, butter sauce with capers and parsley.
This is a remake of Ina Garten's Chicken Piccata recipe, which is breaded... not a traditional Piccata, however it sounded like it would be really good. To lighten it, I reduced her portions, used whole wheat bread crumbs, and reduced the fat. I served this to my family and my husband pointed out the obvious, "this isn't Chicken Piccata... but it's good!" My daughter who loves anything with lemon really loved this dish. Serve this with a salad and a vegetable.
Chicken Piccata
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 piece • Old Points: 5 pts • Points+: 5 pts
Calories: 214 • Fat: 5.5 g • Protein: 24.2 g • Carb: 13.4 g • Fiber: 2.8 g
- 2 (16 oz total) skinless chicken breasts, all fat trimmed
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large egg whites
- 2/3 cup seasoned whole wheat dry bread crumbs
- olive oil spray (about 1 tbsp worth)
- 1 tbsp whipped butter
- juice of 1 lemon, lemon halves reserved
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
- 1 tbsp capers
- Sliced lemon, for serving
- Chopped fresh parsley leaves, for serving
Cut chicken into 4 cutlets, then place cutlets between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
In a shallow plate, beat the egg whites and 1 teaspoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs in another plate. Dip each chicken breast first in the egg, then bread crumbs.
Heat a large saute pan over medium to medium-low heat. Spray a generous amount of olive oil spray on one side of the chicken, and lay it in the pan, oil side down. Spray the top of the chicken generously to coat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Set aside until you make the sauce.
For the sauce, clean the saute pan. Over medium heat, melt butter, add the lemon juice, wine, chicken broth and the reserved lemon halves, salt, and pepper. Boil over high heat until reduced in half, about 2 minutes. Discard the lemon halves, add the capers and serve one chicken cutlet on each plate. Spoon on the sauce and serve with a slice of lemon and a sprinkling of fresh parsley.

Coz every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man'
84-year-old Edward Hernandez has kept the historical legacy of 'Zoot Suits' alive, and done it with style
By Jason P. Smith
MILLIKEN -- It all started back in 1945, just a few years after the famous "Zoot Suit Riots" of Los Angeles. Edward Hernandez of Milliken got his first suit, and he's been the best dressed man at the party ever since.
Living in Austin, Texas, at the time, Hernandez got his hands on a new black suit and loved the attention it brought him. Despite his age and a recent heart attack in July, Hernandez, 84, still dresses up and goes dancing every Saturday night in Greeley.
"I now own 18 different suits," he said with a laugh. In addition to his suits, sunglasses, and long chains, he also owns seven hats, four pairs of shoes and 75 different pairs of suspenders. Over the years, he's had time to collect different outfits and perfect the art of getting ready.
"It only takes me about 15 minutes to get dressed," he said.
Spread around his apartment are pictures of him in his suits with family, friends, sleek cars and, of course, women. After showing a picture of his wife and him dressed up, he mentioned that she had passed away a few years ago.
"I'm single now," he said as he pulled out more photos.
Aside from photos, he's also happy to show off trophies he has won over the years for being "best dressed." Even though he has brothers, he said he's the only one who dresses up regularly. People he knows do, however, ask to borrow suits for things like high school dances and other events, he said.
"He gets a lot of attention when he walks into a room dressed up," said Andrea Villalobos, Hernandez's granddaughter. "Not too many people dress like him anymore, so when they see him, they're always in awe."
The fact is, aside from movies and special events, people don't wear Zoot Suits much anymore. But the style is still alive and well. Where and when did it start?
"That depends on who you ask," said Craig Peña, co-owner of Suavecito's in Denver, where Hernandez gets all of his suits and accessories. "We believe it's a compilation of styles that came together in the 1930s and was picked up and popularized through music, just like most styles are."
Peña, who has seen suits from his store worn by a number of celebrities such as rapper Snoop Dogg, said no one culture really came up with the style, but it is rooted in the practicality of the dancing of the time, which was swing.
"When you're swing dancing, you want something that does not inhibit movement," Peña said. "The pants are high-waisted, so they never catch, and the long jacket gives you the flash and the flair."
Although Peña believes the clothing style came out of several cultures, he said it has really been embraced by the Latino community. "Latinos have a strong sense of family and history -- I think the Latinos who wear Zoot Suits today understand the history behind it. People come in the store all the time and talk about how they've always wanted a Zoot Suit because they remember their dad, or grandpa, or uncle wearing one."
According to Dr. Genie Canales, associate professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Northern Colorado, Zoot Suits came into their own in the 1940s as a result of Mexican-American youth feeling alienated from both the Anglo culture and Mexican-American culture.
"Some scholars believe these youth were experiencing psychological and cultural marginalization," Canales said. "They did not identify, nor did they want to identify wholly with either culture. However, other scholars believe these young people were cultural innovators. That is, they created a distinct culture: neither Anglo nor Mexican, but a unique cultural product."
This separation and desire to be different caused conflict and ultimately resulted in violence. The "Zoot Suit Riots" of the early 1940s were sparked after the murder of a young Mexican-American in Los Angeles. During World War II, there was a growing tension between Latinos and Anglos, and there were conflicts between the men of military uniform and those of Zoot Suit uniform.
"During these riots, Anglo sailors and army men attacked Chicanos and Chicanos, who were wearing Zoot Suits," Canales said. "The former ripped the attire off the youth and brutally beat them. It was essentially an act of racism. The local authorities did nothing to stop the physical violence against these Chicano youth. It is not commonly known that young women and men from other ethnic groups also wore Zoot Suits."
Regardless of where they started, everyone seems to agree on one thing -- they look good. "Women check out a man in a suit," Peña said. "You wear a Zoot Suit and you really get looks -- it definitely sets a man apart.
"Zoot suits were a counter-culture thing, just like urban styles of today and the hippies of the 60s and 70s," Peña said. "Zoot Suits were seen as kind of a caricature of a real suit back then, and some people still see them that way -- but the suits blew people's minds."
The Zoot Suit today, rather than making a statement opposing specific ideals, conjures up images of fun and style from times past. Hernandez has been getting "all flashed out" for years now, but his main goal each time he gets dressed up is to have fun. According to his daughter, Rosalinda Hernandez of Milliken, her father plans to pass his legacy on after he's gone.
"He has been wearing those suits as long as I can remember -- those suits are the most valuable things he owns," she said. "My dad told me that when he passes to have the Zoot Suits split up with the family and people who want to wear them."
Although he had a brush with death last July, Hernandez is still going strong. "You'd never know he had a heart attack recently," his daughter said. His recipe for health? It includes dancing, pin stripes, cool shades, good dance music and, of course, some pretty women for dance partners.
"I want to be the best," he said when asked what keeps him dressing up and dancing each week. "No one can beat me -- I'm number one in Colorado now."

Mercury Text
Mercury: high performance meets high style.
The product of nine years' research and development, Mercury Text is a family of high-performance text faces designed to thrive under the most adverse conditions.
Even while the headline font Mercury Display was still on the drawing board, we suspected that many of its ideas might someday lend themselves to a good text face. Mercury's compact proportions and clear gestures would naturally reproduce well in small sizes, and we imagined that its spiky geometry and taut curves could make text sparkle. We had the chance to explore this idea in 1999, when the New Times newspaper chain asked us to solve an interesting problem.
Newspapers are one of typography's most challenging environments, not only because their high-speed presses coincide with pulpy papers and thin inks, but because they contain so many different kinds of information, arranged in countless ways, that are often composed not by designers but by software. The New Times faced these problems, plus one more: its eleven weekly editions were printed in different regions, each of which was subject to different atmospheric conditions on press. We were asked to explore the idea of a type family whose design could anticipate and counteract these differences, so that formats developed for the Phoenix edition could be deployed in Miami as well.
In his legibility research with the Poynter Institute, which culminated in Font Bureau's Poynter Old Style (1997) series of typefaces, Tobias Frere-Jones had invented the idea of "grades:" sibling members of a type family that shared the same underlying geometry, but offered different degrees of darkness on the page. (Unlike the weights of a type family, which grow progressively wider as they get bolder, a font's grades increase in color without affecting copyfit.) For the New Times, this meant that different regional editions could use different grades to counteract the local conditions of each press, in order to achieve the same end result. For other projects, grades offer the ability to separate typography from its printed medium, so that the type-warping effects of handmade paper, roll film, flat-panel monitors, or retroreflective sheeting can be all corrected for in the font itself.
A year of press-testing ensured that Mercury Text would perform under the most adverse conditions, and in the widest range of formats. Its proportions were fine-tuned to suit those of the news column (offering space-saving advantages in any setting) and its styles were remastered with common editorial functions in mind. Another year spent studying more than 3,800 examples of informational typography in different publications ensured that the fonts' character sets included all the numeric and graphic symbols necessary to tackle every part of even the most demanding project.

Often overlooked thanks to its more glamorous neighbor Barcelona, Valencia has in recent years been going through a Bilbao-esque transformation. Case in point: the "Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències" (City of Arts and Sciences) by the world-famous local architect Santiago Calatrava, Sir Norman Foster's "Palacio de Congreso", and David Chipperfield's "Veles i Vents" (America's Cup Building). Accessible from any hotel Valencia offers a beautiful old quarter with remnants of a Moorish influence, excellent fine-arts museums, and an inventive culinary scene.But despite this wave of new, Valencia hotels still hold on to tradition strongly. Just visit the proud city in March during Las Fallas (the fires) to see how a fiesta is celebrated Valencia-style—colorful "ninots" (giant paper-mâché figures) satirizing a political figure, soap star, or sports idol are everywhere, and the crescendo of fireworks is aptly called the "earthquake".

by Leigh Schoettinger Many award-winning sound-off competitors put their mid-woofers and tweeters in custom-built kick panel enclosures to get concert-quality stereo imaging. But why pay hundreds of dollars to an installer when you can do it yourself? Just mount your 6-1/2" component system in Q-Logic's Q-Forms kick panel enclosures, and your car speakers will deliver competition-quality imaging without the expensive price tag. Q-Forms enclosures hold your speakers in an ideal position, angling them to maximize sound quality. Since the Q-Forms are located near your feet, the distance from your ears to each speaker becomes closer to equal, creating a superior soundstage. The driver's seat becomes the "sweet spot" for great stereo sound. Warranty: 1 year. Note: The Q-Forms do not come with pre-cut holes, so you must cut holes in order to install your component speakers in the enclosures. Installing the Q-Forms panel enclosures in your vehicle may require relocation of the parking brake pedal or other vehicle parts. Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this model is compatible with your vehicle. Installation note for 1982-1994 General Motors SUVs or pickups: Models with a/c require minor trimming of Q-Form and a cover for the fresh air door on the passenger side only.
Looks like a factory installation Written By Michael, Akron, Ohio on Sunday, November 07, 2010 I have a set of these in my 94 S-10 pickup. Although these say they cover up to 94, my model may be different in looks, as the S-10 pickup design changed in 94, whereas the S-10 Blazer stayed the same as previous years. That doesn't matter though because these things are built tough! Holding them up with the factory kick panels, there's no difference in quality. I have a set of Infinity Reference 6 1/2's mounted; they look like they came from the factory. The space where the hood release comes through is perfect. I'll never have another car, as long as it takes kick panel mounts, without kick panel mounts. The sound is phenomenal. I highly recommend buying the foam speaker protection for behind the speakers and packing it with the packing material that comes with the mounts. I then covered, over and over, the outside with duct tape; not only does it help protect the speaker, the bass response is tight, even though I have it crossed at 60 hz. Nice product.
Q-Forms Kick Panel Enclosures Written By Cesar, Inland Empire, CA on Wednesday, June 27, 2007 These fit great in my kickpanels. They are made of molded plastic and are actually a little flimsy. I installed a pair of 6.5" Infinity Kappa components and they were beating up the enclosures. There was some anoying rattling so I fiberglassed them inside and out and put some poly fill inside. The problem is now solved and they actually look better and the speakers sound better. Great choice for a '91-93' S-10 but they are pricy and a little flimsy.
