Is it possible to program Push to toggle the cue on a track?
I am trying to set up live for a DJ session in which I need to be able to hear clips before I put them into a mix. Is there any way to interact with a track's cue button on a control surface like the Push?

5 votes received1 voteSadly your solution is rather currently useless to me in a DJing context. The solo buttons work in exclusive mode; meaning, if you click one, all the others are disable. You can click multiple ones on if they all happen to be on the same window from a Push perspective, but I DJ with more than 8 tracks.
Is there a way to toggle the cue on/off instead of the behaviour I've described above?

I tried to post this earlier from my phone but I don't think it showed up. I was basically wondering if it was worth getting an S4 if I was planning on getting a Nexus 10? I already have the S3.
Get both, ebay the Galaxy S3 and put whatever you get towards the S4. But as for choosing one over the other, if your happy with the S3 and want the Nexus 10 then get a Nexus 10. The Galaxy S3 will last a while yet so don't feel obligated to upgrade the newest version right away.
I see what you mean. But if I were to get both I don't know if it would make one or the other obsolete as I'd be able to tether to my Nexus 10 and play with that on the go which would make my S4 a little less useless I think. Any opinions on that?
I tether my note 10.1 to my s3 at work and it works well. Having both a smart phone and a tablet is a great luxury. I think it's worth it for the screen size alone. Movies are better on my 10 inch note. I say go for both of you have the cash.
I have a nexus 10 and a Galaxy nexus. My wife has a note 2. After spending some time with her phone i'd be perfectly happy ditching the tablet in favor of having a single device as I found the screen to be great. I don't know how the S4 will compare as it's a smaller screen but we'll see when it arrives.
I have an S3, iPod 5, iPad 4, Excite 7.7 and TF300 and plan on getting the S4. Trading the S3 in. My vice is my gadgies'.
Thanks for the replies everyone. Think I'll get the tablet in to fill the spot and get the S4 at a later date or just simply get the S5 if money doesn't allow for both yet.

Key people
Carl F. W. Borgward, founder |
Products | Automobiles |
Borgward was a German automobile manufacturer founded by Carl F. W. Borgward (November 10, 1890 – July 28, 1963). The company was based in Bremen. The Borgward group eventually produced four brands of cars: Borgward, Hansa, Goliath and Lloyd.
Origins of the component companies[edit]
The origins of Bremen's most significant auto-business go back to 1905 with the establishment in nearby Varel of the "Hansa Automobilgesellschaft" and the foundation in Bremen itself of "Namag", maker of the Lloyd car. These two businesses merged in 1914 to form the "Hansa-Lloyd-Werke A.G.". After the war, in the troubled economic situation then confronting Germany, the business failed to prosper and by the late 1920s faced bankruptcy. For Carl Borgward, already the successful creator of the Goliath-Blitzkarren business, the misfortunes of Hansa-Lloyd presented an opportunity greatly to expand the scope of his auto business, and he took control of it.[1]
Carl Borgward's first "car", the Blitzkarren[edit]
The first "automobile" Carl Borgward designed was the 1924 Blitzkarren (lightning cart), a sort of tiny three-wheeled van with 2 hp (1.5 kW), which was an enormous success in the market gap it filled. Traders with a small budget bought it for delivery. The Reichspost ordered many of them for postal service.
Hansa Lloyd[edit]
In 1929, Borgward became the director of Hansa Lloyd AG having been able to merge his "Goliath-Werke Borgward & Co." with "Hansa-Lloyd. The small Goliath-Blitzkarren had by now evolved into the still three wheeler timber framed synthetic leather bodied 5 or 7 hp Goliath Pioneer.[2] Borgward turned his attention to the other businesses and led the development of the Hansa Konsul. In February 1937, there came the new Hansa Borgward 2000 and in 1939 the name was shortened to Borgward 2000. The 2000 model was followed by the Borgward 2300 that remained in production until 1942. After World War II, the company presented the Borgward Hansa 1500. One of the top engineers at Borgward from 1938-1952 was Dipl. Ing. Hubert M. Meingast.
Isabella and P100[edit]
Production of the Borgward Isabella began in 1954. The Isabella would become Borgward's most popular model and remained in production for the life of the company. In 1960 the Borgward P100 was introduced, equipped with pneumatic suspension.
Sports racers[edit]
Borgward introduced a line of 1500 cc sports racers in the late 1950s, with the 16-valve engine from these becoming a successful Formula Two power unit (which was also used by some F1 privateers in 1961).
Financial problems[edit]
Although Borgward pioneered technical novelties in the German market such as air suspension and automatic transmission, the company had trouble competing in the marketplace. While larger companies like Opel and VW took advantage of economies of scale and kept their prices low to gain market share, Borgward's cost structure was even higher than necessary for its size, as it basically operated as four tiny independent companies and never implemented such basic cost reduction strategies as joint development and parts sharing between the company's makes. Borgward suffered quality problems as well. The Lloyd Arabella was technically advanced as a water-cooled boxer with front wheel drive, but plagued with problems such as water leakage and gearbox glitches. Lloyd lost money on the car even though it was more expensive than its direct competitors.
Controversial company bankruptcy[edit]
In 1961, the company was forced into liquidation by creditors. Carl Borgward died in July 1963, still insisting the company had been technically solvent. This proved to be true in the sense that after the creditors were paid in full, there was still 4.5 million Marks left over from the business.[3][4]
Controversy over the bankruptcy persists[edit]
Reports of difficulties at Borgward surfaced in an article that appeared in Germany's leading news magazine, "Der Spiegel" on 14 December 1960".[5] The very long, detailed, and in places repetitive Spiegel article was highlighted by means of a picture of Borgward, cigar in mouth, on the magazine's front cover. It was strongly critical of Carl Borgward's business approach, and included many of the arguments later advanced to explain or justify the company's demise. The widest range of cars from any manufacturer in Germany, produced by three till recently operationally autonomous companies (Borgward, Goliath and Lloyd) was supporting a turnover of only 650 million Marks, placing the overall sales value from the combined Borgward auto businesses only in fifth position among Germany's auto-makers. The 70-year-old Carl Borgward's "hands-on" insistence on an increasingly manic proliferation of new and modified models featuring adventurous, but under-developed technological innovations ("[ein] fast manischen Konstruierwut") gave rise to components which too often did not work, broke down or fell apart, resulting in massive bills for pre-delivery remediation and/or post delivery warranty work that found their way back to the company.
The December 1960 Spiegel article was not the only serious public criticism targeting Borgward at this time: suddenly stridently negative (if more succinct) comments also turned up in the influential mass-market Bild newspaper and in television reports. Critical media commentaries also appeared concerning large loans to the Borgward Group provided by the local Landesbank.[6]
It is apparent that the business was confronting cash-flow difficulties at the end of 1960. Capital intensive businesses such as auto manufacturing use their expensive machines and tools most efficiently if they use them constantly at full capacity, but the car market in Europe in the 1950s/60s was more seasonal than today, with sales diminishing in Winter, then peaking in the early summer months: Borgward's inventory of unsold cars at the end of 1960 was higher than usual, reflecting ambitious growth plans, most obviously in respect of the United States market[7] The December 1960 Spiegel article speculated that of the 15,000 Borgward cars ordered by the North American dealers in 1960 (and of the 12,000 delivered to them) 6,000 might have to be taken back following a slump in North American demand. (Borgward was not the only European auto maker hit by a North American slump in demand for imported cars during 1960. In the same year two ships carrying Renault Dauphines were turned back in mid-Atlantic because the docks in New York were overcrowded with unsold Dauphines."[8])
At the end of December 1960 Borgward approached the bank for a further one million Marks of credit, the loan to be backed by a guarantee from the Bremen regional government which initially the Bremen senators agreed to provide. However, following the flood of critical press comment the senators withdrew their guarantee. They now required Carl Borgward to pledge the company itself to the state in return for the guarantee. After a tense 13 hour meeting widely reported in a still hostile media, Borgward agreed to the senate's terms on 4 February 1961, thereby averting the bankruptcy of the business.[9]
The Bremen Senate also insisted on appointing its own nominee as chairman of the company's supervisory board. The man they chose was Johannes Semler whom reports generally describe as a "Wirtschaftsprüfer" (public auditor),[10] though this designation, especially once translated into English, does less than full justice to the breadth of Semler's career. He had studied law at university and worked initially as a lawyer. The scion of a leading Hamburg political family, in 1945 he had himself been a founding member of the centre-right CSU party, and was a member of the Bundestag between 1950 and 1953. Despite his Hamburg origins, Semler was by this time based in Munich, with a network of contacts in the Bavarian establishment that probably included fellow CSU politician and the future German chancellor, Ludwig Erhard, who in 1948 had succeeded Semler in a top administrative position within the Bizone. The appointment of Johannes Semler as the representative of the Bremen senators to chair the Borgward supervisory board would, in retrospect, contribute to the controversy that followed the Borgward bankruptcy.[11]
On 28 July 1961 Semler, as Chairman of the supervisory board joined the directors of the three companies Borgward, Goliath and Lloyd to instigate proceedings for the establishment of a "Vergleichsverfahren", which would have provided for a court sanctioned scheme of arrangement enabling the business to continue to trade while at the same time protecting the interests of creditors.[12] Two months later, however, in September 1961, the Borgward and Goliath businesses were declared bankrupt, followed in November by the Lloyd business. Subsequent "conspiracy theorists" have suggested that Semler, for reasons of his own, never had any intention of allowing the Borgward auto-businesses to survive.[13]
The conspiracy theory[edit]
Carl Borgward himself would not accept that the Borgward, Goliath and Lloyd auto businesses were technically insolvent, and the fact that none of the companies' creditors lost money supports his case. In the light of what was known at the time, and increasingly in the light of subsequent events, the argument that the business was not really insolvent at all has, if anything, gained support. Nevertheless, evaluation of the issues requires informed and careful judgement, and the opposite case can also be made, that had the company continued trading beyond 1961 there was no reasonable prospect that it would generate sufficient cash to repay existing debts within a contractually established or reasonable period nor, indeed, to repay all necessary subsequently incurred financing and other business debts. At best, Borgward by the middle of 1961 was seen by potential investors and lenders as a much riskier prospect than it had been a year earlier.
The case for a conspiracy[edit]
It has been suggested that the media onslaught launched against Borgward at the end of 1960 was part of a well orchestrated covert campaign by other German auto-makers, jealous of Borgward's success and spotting an opportunity to eliminate a significant rival. Even now, the Spiegel article of 14 December 1960[5] is strangely shrill, partisan, and out of line with the dry tone that characterised most serious business reporting at the time.
Johannes Semler, appointed by the city fathers to chair the supervisory board, ostensibly, in order to guide the business towards a more secure future, appeared a strange choice for the role despite his excellent network of contacts and long experience at the interface between business and public life. The appointment appeared stranger still after his simultaneous appointment, in 1960, to the board of BMW in Munich, his more recent political power base and by now his adopted home city. BMW had lost its old manufacturing facility in 1945 when Eisenach had ended up under Soviet control and since then had itself struggled to survive financially.
Cui bono?[edit]
In fact, the appointment of Semler to the BMW board was one of several events which, in rapid succession, marked an improvement in the fortunes of BMW. BMW had itself come close to bankruptcy in 1959, but had been rescued thanks to a massive additional investment by Herbert Quandt, who became, behind the scenes, a remarkably successful "hands-on" principal BMW shareholder. Key to the company's future was a new saloon/sedan smaller and more sporty than a Mercedes-Benz yet larger than a Volkswagen, and more stylish than anything then to be expected from Opel or Ford. Quandt also recruited an energetic sales director for BMW called Paul G. Hahnemann who later would assert that the BMW 1500, launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1961, created an important new niche in the German car market. Hahnemann repeated his boast so often that he gained the soubriquet "Nischen-Paule" in the press. Those who contend that Semler's role in the Borgward bankruptcy was part of a conspiracy orchestrated on behalf of BMW to bring down Borgward point out that the "niche" allegedly defined by the mid-weight BMWs from 1961 actually bore an uncanny resemblance to the niche previously occupied by the Borgward Isabella during the 1950s.
The case against a conspiracy[edit]
Cases against conspiracies are seldom as compelling as cases in support of conspiracies. Nevertheless, Carl Borgward's management style had never been collegiate, and during several decades as a swash-buckling engineer-entrepreneur he had never shown much appetite for opinions at variance with his own. The Spiegel article that kicked off the press onslaught in December 1960 included a withering attack on Borgward for having recently laid off 2,000 people as part of a belated attempt to streamline administration and production. In a period of boom there was little doubt that the affected workers would have found job opportunities with other German automakers, but they would have needed to relocate away from Bremen, and the Spiegel's description of Carl Borgward's implementation of the redundancies savagely implied a singular absence of human sensitivity.[14] One way and another, Borgward had over several decades enjoyed plenty of opportunities to create enemies, able to feed toxic stories to the media without any need for a conspiracy among rival auto-makers.
Borgward's approach to "product planning" was remarkably profligate. In West Germany only Opel, at this time, came close to Borgward in terms of frequency of model changes and facelifts. But Opel were backed by the financial muscle and the strong management support of General Motors, the world's largest auto-maker and at that time itself a fabulously profitable corporation. In contrast, Borgward had only a generous (but not bottomless) credit facility from the local state bank which he coupled with a personal disinclination to delegate or discuss business decisions.[15] Opel, for all their flamboyant marketing and a domestic market share second only to that of Volkswagen, at this time offered only two models, the Rekord and the Kapitän. It is difficult to keep up with how many different models the Borgward group was supporting. In addition to various commercial vehicles, the 1961 passenger car range included the Lloyd Alexander, the Lloyd Arabella, the Goliath 1100 (rebadged in 1959 as the Borgward 1100), the Borgward Isabella and the Borgward P100. The company's reputation for serious teething troubles on new models was not simply the result of malicious press reporting. Borgward was managed by a 70 year old autocrat without an obvious succession plan. At the height of the crisis talks in 1961 Carl Borgward received (and robustly rejected) a 200 Million Mark offer for his business from Chrysler corporation.[14] Even without his own personal BMW connections, chairman Semler might reasonably have concluded that the Borgward business as then configured had no realistic prospect of remaining solvent for more than few more months without collapsing into a yet more destructive bankruptcy from which creditors would not recover all their cash, and which could easily end up with the company becoming a third significant foreign transplant to compete on financially unequal terms with the domestically owned auto-industry.
Post mortem[edit]
The German magazine Der Spiegel published a thoughtful piece in 1966, implying that with more a little more support, and if the proprietor had been more willing to take advice from his own directors, the Borgward company could have easily overcome its financial problems of 1961. But Carl Borgward was financially naive and reluctant to accept advice: his preferred source of credit had always involved shunning the banks and simply taking extra time to pay his creditors, rejecting advice on the financing of his business from his own Finance Director. By Autumn 1960 he was holding on to unpaid creditor invoices worth more than 100 Million Marks for sheet metal and tyres alone.[16][17] Given that all the company's creditors were eventually paid in full, the liquidation decision appeared nevertheless to have been taken prematurely.[16][18]
Production in Mexico[edit]
As part of the bankruptcy process, in 1963, all manufacturing equipment for the Borgward Isabella and P100 was sold to a buyer in Mexico. Production in Mexico was delayed, but was started in August 1967[19] by entrepreneur Gregorio Ramirez Gonzalez. Production in Mexico ceased in 1970.[20]

Revival of Borgward[edit]
On May 21, 2008, the grandson of Carl F. W. Borgward, Christian Borgward, together with his partner Karlheinz L. Knöss, founded Borgward AG in Lucerne (Switzerland).[21] In 2005[dubious ] Borgward (President) and Knöss (CEO and Vice President of the Supervisory board) started the revival of Borgward. They started the development of the new Borgward automobiles with the Norwegian stylist Einar J. Hareide, creator of the "Four-Eyes-Face" of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, set up the organisation and engineer team and developed a car concept.
Christian Borgward owns the brand Borgward. Borgward AG is responsible for the development, production, sales and marketing of Borgward cars, ships and aircraft.[22]
Borgward has announced plans for a new car at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show after a 54-year hiatus.[23][24] The new company will be backed up financially by Chinese truck manufacturer Foton.[25]

Love's Travel Stops will introduce fast-fill compressed natural gas fueling capability for heavy-duty trucks and a CNG fueling option for passenger vehicles at its travel stop located on Interstate 71, at Exit 204, in Burbank, Ohio. The Love's Fast-Fill CNG station is expected to open mid-summer 2014.
The commitment to bring Love's Fast-Fill CNG to a new area of the country unfolded, in part, because of an agreement between Love's and Illinois-based Dillon Transport.Love's Burbank location will be a public access travel stop offering heavy-duty CNG to all professional fleets and light duty CNG to passenger vehicles.The partnership with Love's will allow Dillon Transport, which operates more than 400 trucks and 700 trailers in various parts of the nation, to designate 20 CNG trucks to the Burbank area."Our fleet will operate 20 Peterbilt trucks paired with an Agility fuel system that will give us 500 miles of range," said Charles Musgrove, vice president of Dillon Transport. "We are planning for these trucks to run about 3 million miles per year and fuel at the Burbank Love's location."Love's Fast-Fill CNG gives professional drivers a similar experience to filling up with Love's diesel or DEF. Love's CNG stations are designed to deliver a fill rate of greater than 10 gallons per minute in all lanes, meaning a driver can fill a 100 gallon equivalent tank in 10 minutes or less.Love's previously announced it would expand its Love's Fast-Fill CNG network at 11 of its travel stops across Texas and Oklahoma. As part of its Texas and Oklahoma expansion, Love's will purchase 55 CNG-powered trucks for its own fuel hauling fleet, Gemini Motor Transport. In addition to Burbank, Love's will offer in-lane, fast-fill CNG at the following locations by the end of the second quarter of 2014. Ft. Worth - I-35 W, Exit 40Dallas - I-35/I-20, Exit 466Rockwall - I-30, Exit 283Willis – I-45, Exit 95Houston – 610 Loop, Exit 24AKaty – I-10, Exit 737San Antonio – I-35, Exit 144Seguin – I-10, Exit 604Amarillo - I-40, Exit 74Oklahoma City – I-40, Exit 140Oklahoma City – I-40, Exit 166

YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION Is Available For Download on iTunes...And Now My Life Is Almost Complete
Apparently that stuffed goat I sacrificed to the Gods of Kid-Centered Nostalgia listened to my prayers and rewarded my allegiance to the Dark Ones by allowing seven episodes of You Can't Do That On Television to be available for download on iTunes ($1.99 each).
Granted, seven episodes out of 143 isn't great, but it's a start for fans of one of the best damn TV shows that drenched its child stars in green slime tainted with bacteria.
If you weren't alive or conscious of pure awesomeness in the 80s, YCDTOTV was a sketch comedy show for kids featuring preteen and teen-teens cracking jokes and being adorable without becoming a parody of itself (and, more importantly, starred Alasdair Gillis:
whose concave chest and pre-pubescent looks made him a heartthrob during his 4-year tenure from 1982-1986).
Now, I've got to believe that the complete series will be available soon since Shout! Factory has released a documentary about the show called You Can't Do That On Film but until that day, I guess I will be watching iTunes.

I drive by that restaurant everyday and have never been there. That is going on the list of possibilities for the dinner thank you. |
We usually go to Villa Piacere on Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills but we've been there so much I'm looking for something different. My dad really enjoys the duck there. ----- |
Hi, my dad's birthday is next month and he loves to eat duck. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some nice restaurants that serve a good duck main dish. Thank you. |
Little Brother's vs. Brother's Sushi Debate I've been to both Brother's and Little Brother's Sushi. I like Little Brother's much better. The resturant's food is great and so is the service. |
Good place for Mother's Day in SFV? Thanks for all your help. |
Good place for Mother's Day in SFV? I'm looking for a good place to take my mom and grandmother for mother's day. Preferably a lunch or brunch somewhere in the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills, Encino, Sherman Oaks, etc.). Thanks. |

Making Things Speak: Objects, Commodities, and Societies in Historical Perspective Workshop at the Pergamon Museum, Berlin June 23-25, 2011
The Making Things Speak workshop investigates objects and their agencyhow they are transformed (or not) by their uses and contexts and how they impact human lives. The past twenty-five years have seen a proliferation of writings tracing social practices of exchange and consumption through the objects of material culture. This has added to an already existing body of literature in museology and art history focusing on the objects themselves, their production, and their exhibition.
Following objects across the boundaries of Europe and the Middle East, the workshop brings together perspectives from museology, art and architectural history, and social history. By combining object-based and social-based approaches, the aim of this workshop is not only to explore the tension between objects as exhibited and as everyday pieces, but also to discuss how the line separating the two is constituted, crossed, and conceived of.
The workshop is convened by Stefan Weber (Museum f■r Islamische Kunst / Member of EUME) and Toufoul Abou-Hodeib (Fellow of EUME 2010/11) and co-organized by the "Europe in the Middle EastThe Middle East in Europe" research program (EUME), Museum f■r Islamische Kunst (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin), and Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz (Max-Planck-Institut).

Atomic noise spectra in nonlinear magneto-optical rotation in a rubidium vapor
JOSA B, Vol. 25, Issue 10, pp. 1702-1707 (2008)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (525 KB)
We have studied the noise spectra in a nonlinear magneto-optical rotation experiment in a rubidium vapor. We observed the reduction of noise in the intensity difference of two orthogonally polarized components of the laser beam. The dependence of the noise level on both the frequency and the longitudinal magnetic field has been studied. We found that the optimal condition for the noise reduction is to work around zero longitudinal magnetic field, where the intensity correlation between the two orthogonally polarized components is maximum. Our results can be used to reduce or eliminate the atomic excess noise, therefore improving the sensitivity of nonlinear magneto-optical rotation magnetometers and other atom-optical-based applications.

Any predictions? I think UNI wins this one.
ISU Grad 1997. ISU Fan for Life. Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
UNI wins by 10
Heart says UNI by 25 and Haluska breaks his pelvis; head says UNI by 10 and no one in Iowa City cares.
I think Iowa wins this. I really do. I just don't think McKowen will go off for 27 and I think that's what he'll need to do for them to win this game.
Is it at UNI or is it at Iowa? If it's at UNI, I say UNI wins by 12. At Iowa, UNI wins by 5.
great white buffalo http://centraliowastormchaser.blogspot.com/
I agree with Bryce. I think the Hawks aren't quite as bad as everyone is saying and win this one, but it will be by less than 10...maybe something like 67-62. And I just punched myself for picking the Hawks to win.
I think Iowa wins a close one. Even though McKowen is playing well right now, I don't think UNI's guards are that great. I think Iowa will take advantage of that, and I think Iowa's big men are athletic enough to slow down UNI's bigs.
I will have a little post-prediction note - if they get Looby in foul trouble (which is a distinct possibility) I think UNI could easily win this one.
UNI will win by 11. 60-49 panthers. i think UNI's d fense is going to lock down haluska, control smith, then who else is there?
I can't see McKowen keeping up this level of play, and Henderson is back for Iowa. I'll go Iowa b/c its @ Carver.
If it's close, I think the edge goes to UNI. I say this due to experience on the UNI team. I've seen two and a half Iowa games this year and they've gotten frazzled in both and let the other team go on 10-15 point runs. Personally, I think they'll choke again tonight. Also, Haluska has been streaky. If he goes in the tank, they seem to look around confused. Henderson may add stability, but I wonder how many minutes he'll actually get. Anyway...65-61 UNI.
Can anyone tell me if this game is going to be on in Ames and if so what channel?
Well I took Uni geting 3 points, so that means Iowa will win by at least 4 since teams love to screw me.
Originally Posted by Luke3485 Can anyone tell me if this game is going to be on in Ames and if so what channel? kdsm (channel 6, if you've got mediacom)
Anyone else think that Tony Freeman for Iowa is the worst player in the state? He makes Mike Taylor(on a bad day) look like Steve Nash, no offense to Mike.

The prank call that got JV and Elvis suspended.
CBS Radio suspended two hosts from an FM station in New York City today after an Asian-American advocacy organization complained about the broadcast of a six-minute prank phone call to a Chinese restaurant that was peppered with ethnic and sexual slurs.
The call was first played on �The Dog House With JV and Elvis,� a midmorning show on WFNY, on April 5, the day after Don Imus made his comment about the Rutgers women�s basketball team on WFAN, another CBS-owned station. The call was then replayed on �The Dog House� on Thursday, a week after Mr. Imus was fired by CBS Radio.
In the skit, a series of apparently unsuspecting employees of a Chinese restaurant are berated by a caller who tells one woman he would like to �come to your restaurant� to see her naked, especially a part of her body he refers to as �hot, Asian, spicy.� The caller also attempts to order �flied lice,� brags of his prowess in kung fu and repeatedly curses at several employees.
In a statement on Sunday, the four New York-area chapters of the Organization of Chinese Americans, an advocacy group, demanded an apology from the show�s two hosts and from CBS Radio, and called for the firing of the hosts and their producer.
In an interview today before the suspensions were announced, Vicki Shu Smolin, president of the organization�s New York City chapter, said she was mystified that CBS would allow the call to be broadcast in the first place and then would permit it to be replayed in the aftermath of the Imus incident. (�The Dog House� has been waging a broad campaign in support of Mr. Imus both on the show and on its Web site.)

Recurring Role |
The "singing" of young actor Keith Coogan (Timothy) is quite hilarious, especially since it's blaringly obvious that it's not the child singing, but somebody else. Timothy repeats the same part of the song three or four times at the end, and each time, it sounds exactly the same, which makes it even more fake.
Every time the blind children are singing, you can tell that they are lip-synching, but it is especially obvious the first time we see them singing "Get on Board" with Hester Sue. The voices we hear are loud and domineering, but the children are hardly even opening their mouths as they "sing." It would be impossible to produce a sound like that under those conditions.
Moses Gunn makes his last appearance on the series as Joe Kagan.
Featured character: Hester Sue Terhoun
The young actor playing Timothy was credited as Keith Mitchell, but his last name is really Coogan.

Editor's note: This is part of a special section on Columbia's kids. Read more here.
COLUMBIA — After working as a nurse at a obstetrical clinic for 14 years, Beth Johnson felt she was ready to leave and focus more on helping mothers feed their babies.
"I wanted to have more one-on-one time with moms," Johnson said.
Johnson started her new career as an onsite lactation nurse at Kilgore's Pharmacy one and a half years ago, which provides free services for patients who come to the store.
"Breastfeeding support is crucial," Johnson said. "If there is no one supporting you, I will be the one."
Breastfeeding has health benefits for both babies and moms, according to a project of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health. Breast milk is more nutritional and digestible than formula, and it contains unique antibodies, which protect babies from illness. Breastfeeding moms have a lower risk for diseases such as Type 2diabetes and breast cancer, according to the project.
Johnson said she felt passionate about providing lactation advice because she heard that a lot of mothers, upon leaving the hospital, gave up in the face of social and physical challenges.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding exclusively for about six months and continuing it until the child is about 12 months. Only 12 percent of women in Missouri exclusively breastfeed for six months, and 15.6 percent keep breastfeeding for 12 months, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Breastfeeding Report Card for 2011.
Johnson said breastfeeding is time-consuming and energy-consuming.
"A lot of moms are told breastfeeding is all natural and you should know how to do it," Johnson said. "It's not easy in any way."
Johnson is certified by Lactation Education Resources, which is approved by the Lactation Education Accreditation and Approval Review Committee.
She said every moment of being a lactation nurse is memorable.
"It makes my day when I see a mother's face light up because their babies latch on and start sucking milk, and I have those bigger moments when I received 'fan mails' — baby photos and their birthday party invitations," Johnson said.
Melissa Creek, one of Beth Johnson's patients who is breastfeeding her baby Kara, said she could never make it without Johnson's help.
"I went through extremely bad postpartum depression after my first birth because I couldn't breastfeed," Creek said. "Not a day I have had this with Kara. I feel successful as a mother because I can give her the best thing of all. "
"I totally don't want to be a hero," Johnson said. "I can't tell you how rewarding this job is."
She also said the promotion by the formula industry makes breastfeeding even more difficult for some moms and she needs to provide the correct information.
"So many moms are sent home with 'emergency' formula, but you have breasts," Johnson said. "Breastfeeding make babies healthier, smarter, and it's better in the long run."
Patt Stewart, another lactation consultant at Kilgore's, feels strongly about formula given to moms as free samples at the hospital. "I'd like to call it artificial feeding," she said. "Formula should be a prescription."
Stewart said breast milk is irreplaceable because what a mother produces is specifically for her baby. A mother's immune system can sense the germs the baby is exposed to and produce a particular antibody for her baby.
Stewart is an international board-certified lactation consultant, recognized by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners, an independent global authority in the lactation and breastfeeding area.
Lori Lampe, a board-certified lactation consultant at MU Children's Hospital, said breastfeeding means more than health benefits for both moms and babies.
"It's a very important time for women who give birth to their own children. It's such a special connection," she said.
Lampe said she always shares the excitement of the bonding between mothers and babies. "Being a part of this important time of their lives is the best for me," she said. "I see them in the community maybe a month later. There are smiles, there are confidences, and they are having a health baby. That warms my heart."
Lampe said, there are about 11 board-certified lactation consultants working at the Boone Hospital, MU Women's and Children's Hospitals or for the city's Women, Infant, Children Supplemental Program.
Stewart said some breastfeeding mothers not only need technical support in how to correctly nurse their babies but also need someone who can give them confidence and encouragement.
"When moms watch baby grow on a daily basis and recognize that it's my milk that does it, it's a very empowering thing." Stewart said.

That is an excellent point! I was on a strict fast food diet when I was in college and couldn't stand healthy snacks and meals. After slowly working them into my diet, I actually find myself enjoying healthy eating. Thanks for the comment!

"How can you be for peace with Israel and peace with Hamas that calls for our destruction?" Mr. Netanyahu said. "Can you imagine a peace deal with al-Qaeda? Of course not."
Israel's prime minister has criticized Palestinian efforts for national unity in an interview with the U.S. cable news channel CNN, suggesting Palestinian moderates must choose either peace with Israel or reconciliation with Hamas militants.
Benjamin Netanyahu's comments late Thursday came a day after the Palestinians' Western—backed president, Mahmoud Abbas, offered to visit Hamas—ruled Gaza and form a new government with his bitter rivals from the Iran—backed group.
"How can you be for peace with Israel and peace with Hamas that calls for our destruction?" Mr. Netanyahu said. "Can you imagine a peace deal with al—Qaeda? Of course not."
Israeli—Palestinian peace talks have been on hold since September, when a 10—month Israeli freeze of new settlement construction expired and Mr. Abbas halted the negotiations, saying he would not negotiate with Israel while building continued.
The Palestinians have been divided internally since Hamas won parliamentary elections in 2006 and then overran Mr. Abbas' forces in Gaza in 2007, leaving Mr. Abbas and his Palestinian Authority in control only of the West Bank.
The rift is a major obstacle to the Palestinian objective of establishing an independent state incorporating both territories.
Both sides are under pressure to resolve their differences from tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been holding demonstrations inspired by the pro—democracy uprisings across the Middle East.
Previous attempts at reconciliation have failed, however, and chances for an agreement soon are seen as slim.
Adding to the complications, the U.S. and Europe, which give Mr. Abbas' administration hundreds of millions of dollars in aid every year, consider Hamas a terrorist organization and are unlikely to support a government that includes the group.

By Tegan Wilson 07 May 2011
I have had this book for a few years now and it is still by far the most useful thing in my kitchen! :)
I have found this book to be invaluable for planning delicious meals for the week ahead- there are many recipes in here with common main ingredients, so you just shop for/already have the basics, and then just grab an extra few special items on top of that. And you still stay within your budget.
The meals are all delicious- personal fave is the spicy coconut & lentil soup.
HIGHLY recommended.

BCPA is doing Vegas
this year in early December, and those rooms have a cut-off date, as well.
Do you want to learn how to make stunning photographs? Do you want to do it in a small, fun-filled, intimate photo workshop where you can spread out, seek your own vision, and find your own subject, not stand shoulder to shoulder with a gaggle of photographers?
With workshops limited to 12 participants sharing two instructors (maximum 6:1 ratio), you can be assured of lots of individual attention, help, and critiques. In fact,
are working with you the entire time in both the field and classroom. In addition, because of our small group size, we have gained access to some private areas that cannot handle larger groups.
We continue to be blown away by the work our students produce in our workshops, their
student comments
, and the high percentage of returning alumni. We also welcome non-photographing spouses, SOs, and friends, as they really enjoy our groups, too.
And that fun factor we indicated above, everyone shares laughs from Day One!
We always love it when we hear from many of our participants that they have won awards and been accepted into galleries and juried shows after joining us for one or more of our workshops.
Also, it is wonderful to see and hear of the friendships that last well beyond the workshop!
So, join Barefoot Contessa Photo Adventures for long, fun, intensive days in which you'll have a great time while learning to seek and refine your own creative vision, whether in a
photo workshop, a
private workshop
of your choosing, by
scouting and photographing with the instructors
before a workshop and receiving some added instruction, or coming in a day ahead for a workshop to get some intensive instruction on the latest version of Lightroom (
contact us
for this).

one would like to conserve the number of random bits needed in a computation. Second, the deterministic character of pseudorandom bit sequences permits the easy reproducibility of computations. A third reason arises from cryptography: the existence of secure pseudorandom bit generators is essentially equivalent to the existence of secure private-key cryptosystems.
For Monte Carlo simulations, one often wants pseudorandom numbers, which are numbers simulating either independent draws from a fixed probability distribution on the real line R, or more generally numbers simulating samples from a stationary random process. It is possible to simulate samples of any reasonable distribution using as input a sequence of i.i.d. 0-1 valued random variables (see Devroye, 1986, and Knuth and Yao, 1976). Hence the problem of constructing pseudorandom numbers is in principle reducible to that of constructing pseudorandom bits.
Section 6.2 describes explicitly some pseudorandom bit generators, as well as some general principles for constructing pseudorandom bit generators. Most of these generators have underlying group-theoretic or number-theoretic structure.
Section 6.3 describes the subject of computational information theory and indicates its connection to cryptography. The basic object in this theory is the concept of a secure pseudorandom bit generator, which was proposed by Blum and Micali (1982) and Yao (1982). The basic properties characterizing a secure pseudorandom bit generator are ''randomness-increasing" and "computationally unpredictable." Recently obtained results are that if one of the following objects exist then they all exist:
a secure pseudorandom bit generator,
a one-way function, and
a secure (block-type) private-key cryptosystem.
The central unsolved question is whether any of these objects exist. However, good candidates are known for one-way functions. A major difficulty in settling the existence problem for this theory is summarized in the following heuristic:
Unpredictability Paradox. If a deterministic function is unpredictable, then it is difficult to prove anything about it; in particular, it is difficult to prove that it is unpredictable.

If we passed an invalid _and_ unaligned source address to copy_from_user(), the fault handling code miscalculates a length of uncopied bytes and returns a value greater than original length. This also causes an negative buffer overflow and overwrites some bytes just before the destination kernel buffer. This can happen "src_unaligned" case in memcpy.S. If the first load from source buffer was a LDFIRST/LDREST (L[WD][RL]) instruction, it raise an exception and the THREAD_BUADDR will be an aligned address so it will _smaller_ than its real target address. For all case "src" register is smaller than its target load address (ie. the offset of load instruction is always greater then zero), and on the first load instruction "src" is always start of uncopied source buffer, so we can fix the faulted address using the "src" value.

text: Id like to commend the Mayor for vetoing the plastic bag ordinance. As several previous letter writers have pointed out, any issue of this magnitude that can adversely impact so many of Homers citizens and small businesses should be put on a ballot so the residents of the city can vote on it, not unilaterally imposed on them by four members of the Homer City Council who may not have had all of the information they really needed to make a wise decision. The vetoed ordinance was poorly thought out and did not take into account many things, including the potential impacts on summer visitors, what happens to paper bags disposed of in landfills and the repeated use of unwashed, bacteria-laden cloth bags on grocery store conveyor belts (see the Health Canada website). Given that the ordinance was nothing more than an attempt at social engineering (something that seems to be happening more and more in our country lately), I now have a clear picture of who Ill be voting for in the upcoming city election.

Stellar activity and mass loss
The Sun's activity is apparently not unique. It has been found that stars of many types are active and have stellar winds analogous to the solar wind. The importance and ubiquity of strong stellar winds became apparent only through advances in spaceborne ultraviolet and X-ray astronomy as well as in radio and infrared surface-based astronomy.
X-ray observations that were made during the early 1980s yielded some rather unexpected findings. They revealed that nearly all types of stars are surrounded by coronas having temperatures of one million kelvins (K) or more. Furthermore, all stars seemingly display active regions, including spots, flares, and prominences much like those of the Sun (see sunspot; solar flare; solar prominence). Some stars exhibit starspots so large that an entire face of the star is relatively dark, while others display flare activity thousands of times more intense than that on the Sun.
The highly luminous hot, blue stars have by far the strongest stellar winds. Observations of their ultraviolet spectra with telescopes on sounding rockets and spacecraft have shown that their wind speeds often reach 3,000 km (roughly 2,000 miles) per second, while losing mass at rates up to a billion times that of the solar wind. The corresponding mass-loss rates approach and sometimes exceed one hundred-thousandth of a solar mass per year, which means that one entire solar mass (perhaps a tenth of the total mass of the star) is carried away into space in a relatively short span of 100,000 years. Accordingly, the most luminous stars are thought to lose substantial fractions of their mass during their lifetimes, which are calculated to be only a few million years.
Ultraviolet observations have proved that to produce such great winds the pressure of hot gases in a corona, which drives the solar wind, is not enough. Instead, the winds of the hot stars must be driven directly by the pressure of the energetic ultraviolet radiation emitted by these stars. Aside from the simple realization that copious quantities of ultraviolet radiation flow from such hot stars, the details of the process are not well understood. Whatever is going on, it is surely complex, for the ultraviolet spectra of the stars tend to vary with time, implying that the wind is not steady. In an effort to understand better the variations in the rate of flow, theorists are investigating possible kinds of instabilities that might be peculiar to luminous hot stars.
Observations made with radio and infrared telescopes as well as with optical instruments prove that luminous cool stars also have winds whose total mass-flow rates are comparable to those of the luminous hot stars, though their velocities are much lower—about 30 km (20 miles) per second. Because luminous red stars are inherently cool objects (having a surface temperature of about 3,000 K, or half that of the Sun), they emit very little detectable ultraviolet or X-ray radiation; thus, the mechanism driving the winds must differ from that in luminous hot stars. Winds from luminous cool stars, unlike those from hot stars, are rich in dust grains and molecules. Since nearly all stars more massive than the Sun eventually evolve into such cool stars, their winds, pouring into space from vast numbers of stars, provide a major source of new gas and dust in interstellar space, thereby furnishing a vital link in the cycle of star formation and galactic evolution. As in the case of the hot stars, the specific mechanism that drives the winds of the cool stars is not understood; at this time, investigators can only surmise that gas turbulence, magnetic fields, or both in the atmospheres of these stars are somehow responsible.
Strong winds also are found to be associated with objects called protostars, which are huge gas balls that have not yet become full-fledged stars in which energy is provided by nuclear reactions (see below Star formation and evolution). Radio and infrared observations of deuterium (heavy hydrogen) and carbon monoxide (CO) molecules in the Orion Nebula have revealed clouds of gas expanding outward at velocities approaching 100 km (60 miles) per second. Furthermore, high-resolution, very-long-baseline interferometry observations have disclosed expanding knots of natural maser (coherent microwave) emission of water vapour near the star-forming regions in Orion, thus linking the strong winds to the protostars themselves. The specific causes of these winds remain unknown, but if they generally accompany star formation, astronomers will have to consider the implications for the early solar system. After all, the Sun was presumably once a protostar too.
Distances to the stars
Determining stellar distances
Distances to stars were first determined by the technique of trigonometric parallax, a method still used for nearby stars. When the position of a nearby star is measured from two points on opposite sides of Earth's orbit (i.e., six months apart), a small angular (artificial) displacement is observed relative to a background of very remote (essentially fixed) stars. Using the radius of Earth's orbit as the baseline, the distance of the star can be found from the parallactic angle, p. If p = 1″ (one second of arc), the distance of the star is 206,265 times Earth's distance from the Sun—namely, 3.26 light-years. This unit of distance is termed the parsec, defined as the distance of an object whose parallax equals one arc second. Therefore, one parsec equals 3.26 light-years. Since parallax is inversely proportional to distance, a star at 10 parsecs would have a parallax of 0.1″. The nearest star to Earth, Proxima Centauri (a member of the triple system of Alpha Centauri), has a parallax of 0.7716″, meaning that its distance is 1/0.7716, or 1.296, parsecs, which equals 4.23 light-years. The parallax of Barnard's star, the next closest after the Alpha Centauri system, is 0.5483″, so that its distance is nearly 6 light-years. Errors of such parallaxes are now typically 0.001′′. Thus, measurements of trigonometric parallaxes are useful for only the nearby stars within a few thousand light-years. In fact, of the approximately 100 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy (also simply called the Galaxy), only about 2.5 million are close enough to have their parallaxes measured with useful accuracy. For more distant stars, indirect methods are used; most of them depend on comparing the intrinsic brightness of a star (found, for example, from its spectrum or other observable property) with its apparent brightness.

Genre: Parody
See what really happened in the Brady household as Mr. Brady gives Marcia the grooviest ride of her life. And check out parodies of other favorites including King of Queens, Drop Dead Fred and The Shining.
Some of the scenes are pretty old in this parody vignette collection from AVN Hall of Fame director Jim Powers, and the budget was not the highest by parody standards for what happens here. There's still good times within, however.
Jessie Andrews plays Marcia Brady, who has the hots for her stepdad, played by Jack Lawrence and a really bad black curly wig. They get nasty in a pink bedroom that looks nothing like the Brady girls' bedroom from the show, but they banter Brady-speak back and forth: "You're better than Davy Jones!"
Michael J. Cox plays "Rock Hard Ed" in the parody of the weird movie Drop Dead Fred, and Regan Starr gets her cunt filled by her imaginary friend's condom-clad cock. The King of Queens segment set in a warehouse isn't that interesting in the setup, but Lizz Tayler does a decent vag scene. The Shining parody has midget performer Little Romeo as Danny, with Kate Frost and Dynamite as the creepy twin girls in the hall. Rick Masters does a good turn as Danny's axe-wielding dad, and the group scene is active.
