The conventional approach in the U.K. has been to value all travel time changes at a constant rate regardless of their size or direction. This 'constant unit value' approach was supported by the 1980-86 UK DoT Value of Time Study (MVA/ITS/TSU, 1987). However, there has always remained a vocal body of opinion critical of this approach (see Welch and Williams, 1997, for references and discussion). Some of the main objections have been the following:
i. small amounts of time are less useful than large amounts;
ii. small time savings (or losses) might not be noticed by travellers and any that are not noticed cannot be valued by those affected and so should not be valued by society;
iii. small time savings are said to often account for a large proportion of scheme benefits, so that small errors in measurement might mean that the scheme is really of no benefit to anyone;
iv. allowing small time savings to have 'full' value is said to inflate the measured total of benefits and so lead to schemes (often road schemes) being wrongly found to have sufficient net benefit to justify implementation;
v. time savings are less highly valued than are time losses, according to surveys, and so should have a lower unit value when evaluating schemes.
Both aspects relate to the possible non-constancy of the value of time for a given journey made for a given purpose (clearly, it is much less controversial, and indeed standard practice, to allow for variation by purpose and traveller type).
The practical difficulties are twofold. On the one hand, it is difficult to overcome the lay reaction that small time savings have little or no value, as well as the feeling that losses are more important than gains. On the other hand, if these points have any empirical relevance, they cause major problems for the cost-benefit calculus, as losses and gains will not cancel out, and time savings cannot be directly aggregated.
Although they do not recommend that values differentiated by size and sign should be used for appraisal, the HCG/Accent (1999) Report (AHCG) notes that [p 259]
"For any level of variation around the original journey time, gains (savings) are valued less than losses. For non-work related journeys, a time savings of five minutes has negligible value."
A recent paper by Gunn (2001) notes that corroborative results are available from a reanalysis of the 1988 Dutch value of Time study.
For reasons which will be carefully rehearsed in this paper, we do not believe that the conclusion on the differences between gains and losses is safe. This is based on an extensive re-analysis of the AHCG data. We have found it harder to reach a conclusion on the issue of small time savings, we agree with AHCG that their data undoubtedly implies a lower valuation: we have some concerns, nonetheless, as to the interpretation which should be placed on this.

Some firms, including Dow Chemical, Celanese, and Olin, had earnings significantly impacted by one-time charges. Celanese reported "particularly weak" conditions in Europe, while Dow expects "challenges in Western Europe to persist in the near term," according to Dow CEO Andrew Liveris.

Weak Arguments for Attack
Perhaps the most striking thing about the current discussion/ debate/ PR campaign about the possibility of the United States launching a pre-emptive strike against Iraq is the weakness of the arguments in favor of an attack even if one accepts the premise that a pre-emptive strike is sometimes justified, necessary or desirable. Leaving open the possibility that the U.S. government really does have information it hasn't yet shared with the American people and might one day choose to share, what we've heard so far doesn't begin to meet even the criteria advocates of preemption seem to hold out as requiring such a strike. I'm less inclined to accept most arguments for pre-emptive strikes than many Americans, but I've been trying to understand what the other side is saying, striving to see if there's the kind of potential threat that could justify a major military incursion. As far as I can see, the argument requires assuming that Saddam Hussein is suicidally irrational. One can say all sorts of justifiably negative things about Saddam, of course, but few are able to make a persuasive case that he has a suicide wish. If anything, most observers are struck by his well-developed survival instincts and skills.
Here's why this seems the case to me. To date I haven't heard anyone argue that Saddam has an itch to attack the United States directly well, he might have an itch, if he thought he could do so with relative impunity, but so far he hasn't scratched it. A case can be made that he is a potential threat to his neighbors, although none of them besides Israel seems to feel so directly threatened as to welcome or desire a U.S. attack.
(One should hold open the possibility that neighboring regimes are saying one thing in public and another in private, but so far there have been none of the kind of leaks that one might expect if a furious private campaign urging the U.S. to take out Saddam were underway. The people I've talked to who are in a position to know more than I though not everything say that Saudi Arabia, for example, is as concerned about an attack in private as in public.) So. Iraq is a potential threat to neighbors but only Israel seems to want a U.S. attack, and even Israel is a bit ambivalent. Is there a threat to the United States?
The closest I've heard to an argument for this is the possibility that if and when Saddam has usable weapons of mass destruction (maybe now, though U.S. military sources seem to doubt nuclear weapons even in the near future), he might give them to terrorists or terrorist organizations who would then be in a position to launch an attack on the United States that would make 9/11 look like a walk in the park. Vice President Cheney came pretty close to making this case in his two speeches last week.
To be sure, such an attack, if it came, might well be horrendous. But just how likely is such a scenario if Saddam Hussein is not suicidally irrational? For starters, the Iraqi regime is not an Islamist or fundamentalist regime but a titularly secular regime. It may have harbored some terrorist groups in the past, and it might be tolerating some training camps even now, although here again the evidence is sketchy and has been disputed by relatively authoritative U.S. military sources. But while Saddam may use Islam in his rhetoric, his history suggests more a concern with hanging onto and expanding personal power than with embarking on a crusade for religious reasons. The Islamist groups know this. There has to be a certain level of distrust between Saddam's regime and the more fanatical Islamist (or Islamo-fascist, if you will) organizations. They might work together on specific campaigns or projects. But they're not likely to trust one another very far.
This makes it somewhat unlikely that Saddam would simply hand over weapons of mass destruction to al Qaida operatives or to some other terrorist faction. Given the criticism his own regime has come under from Islamist fanatics, given that Iraq fought a 10-year war with the first Islamicist regime, Iran, and given the presence of a Shia region in the south that would love to be independent or rid of Saddam, he could hardly be completely sure that those weapons might not be used against him.
It might happen. But the likelihood factor is not especially high. At the least, it is far from a sure thing.
Then there's the other factor that would simply have to enter his calculations, assuming he is calculating fairly rationally. If a biological or chemical weapon were used in an attack in the United States, especially if it were of a type that U.S. intelligence suspects the Iraqi regime has been working on, who would be the first suspect? The Bush administration, egged on by certain policy wonks (most of whom have never been closer to a war than a textbook) has been itching to attack Iraq since 9/11, even though there is no credible evidence of a direct connection. How swiftly do you suppose an attack would come if a connection seemed even reasonably certain? I suspect the Bush administration would not need proof beyond a reasonable doubt to attack Iraq if a monstrously destructive chemical or biological weapon were used in the United States. Preponderance of the evidence or even a sliver of evidence would do nicely. And I suspect Saddam knows this too. And whatever his bluster, he has to know that if the U.S. assembled the kind of attack force it brought to bear during the Gulf War (allies or no allies) and used it as ruthlessly as the U.S. is capable of doing when provoked (or sometimes when not provoked) his chances of survival would be fairly slim.
One should not claim too much certainty about matters that by their very nature are somewhat hidden from us. Much about Saddam Hussein and his regime are purposely hidden, and much more is unknown because of the unremitting hostility with which most Americans view him. He's evil. What more do we need to know? What manner of evil and how expressed? People who would even ask such questions are sometimes viewed as latent sympathizers.
So I can't claim to know just how rational Saddam Hussein is in his calculations. But I do know he runs an essentially secularist regime and that he has stayed in power for decades despite fierce and sometimes unremitting opposition see all the Iraqi opposition groups in exile, most of which contain people who would have been happy to slit Saddam's throat if they had had the chance. So it is obvious that he has worked at surviving in power and has been pretty good at it. Whatever fantasies of world power or regional domination may be at work in his fevered brain have not prevented some rational (and ruthless) calculation and action about how to stay in power. For him to supply a terrorist group with weapons of mass destruction or the wherewithal to make them fairly quickly, then, I suspect he would have to see a pretty big payoff and not much downside risk for himself. But what kind of attack on the United States could accomplish that? Even a destructive attack on Washington, DC would leave much of the US and its military infrastructure intact and capable of striking back. And Saddam would be a target even if he hadn't supplied the weapons.
Charles Krauthammer on Fox News over the weekend crept right up to the point of calling Saddam irrationally suicidal, but held back because he probably knows enough to know it isn't true. But at some level of consciousness he had to know that the case for attacking Saddam pre-emptively rests on the assumption that he is so relentlessly and well, irrationally hostile to the United States that he would risk utter destruction in order to do significant damage that would almost fall short of the utter destruction he might well desire but is unlikely to be able to accomplish.
Unless he is irrationally suicidal, then Saddam Hussein poses little if any threat to the United States proper. Even a devastating attack would be more likely to lead to the destruction of his regime than to the destruction of the United States. All empires fade eventually, one supposes, but the American version still has a lot of power and the ability to use it, however burdened (not quite but almost to the point of being muscle-bound) by bureaucracy and overspending.
What about U.S. interests in the region? Presumably there's some interest in keeping relatively inexpensive oil flowing. But it's far from certain that waging war on Saddam is the best way to do this. If you were making a strictly economic calculation you might even conclude that cozying up to Saddam and urging him to provide some healthy competition for the Saudis would be a more effective way to keep the oil flowing than undertaking a military attack. The price of oil almost always rises during military actions whatever the cause and wherever they are. And if you were really calculating the full cost of Persian Gulf oil you would have to include all the costs involved in keeping a military presence in the region (even though it doesn't always serve the purposes of assuring maximum flow of oil) so the oil is far from cheap.
Do we have an interest in deterring the more fanatical versions of Islamism motivating people around the globe but especially in the Near East? It would hardly make sense, then, to attack a relatively secular Arab regime many Islamists would like to see destroyed. I have had a number of e-mails suggesting that I have overlooked the Israeli interest in taking out Saddam. Israel and the United States are so joined at the hip, this argument goes in summary, that the U.S. will go out of its way to serve Israeli interests that might or might not coincide with U.S. interests. There's something to be said for this. Certainly the neos at the Weekly Standard and New Republic sometimes place the interests of Israel at the forefront of their thinking, as do certain elements of the religious right in America. These elements are influential and have representatives in the administration.
I suspect the Israeli interest doesn't explain it all, however. There is also the element of militant moralism that has played a key role in American foreign policy at least since St. Woodrow Wilson. We have to oppose evil and evildoers (even if we are a bit selective in identifying and attacking them), even eschewing rational calculation sometimes. American policymakers love to convince themselves they are doing good, rooting out evil, and making holy whatever they touch. The Bushlet is hardly immune to this peculiarly American disease indeed, a case can be made that he is a virtual embodiment. So the great American myth lives on, secure in its righteousness no matter how many have to die.

a3+b3+c3 | We can choose three "a"'s for the cube in one way C(3,3)=1, or we can choose an a from the first factor and one from the second and one from the third, being the only way to make a3. The coefficient of the cubes is therefore 1. (It's the same for a, b and c, of course) |
3a2b+3a2c | Next, we consider the a2 terms. We can choose two a's from 3 factors in C(3,2) ways=3. We can choose a remaining letter in 1 way, so the coefficients of a2 are 3·1 ways. 3a2(b+c) |
3ab2+3b2c | Similarly for the b2 terms: 3b2(a+c) |
3ac2+3bc2 | And the c2: 3c2(a+b) |
6abc | The remaining terms are abc's. We can choose an a in 3 ways, and then a b in 2 ways, and then we have only one way to choose a c. The coefficient is therefore 3·2·1=6 |
Finally, add up the coefficients to check they come to (1+1+1)3=27 |
(a+b+c+d)3 | ||
a3+b3+c3+d3 | Considering the cubes of a, we can choose 3 a's from 3 factors in one way only. C(3,3)=1. Similarly for the other letters | From 4 elements, we can choose 1, C(4,1)=4, so there are four terms here. The sum of the coefficients is 4. |
3a2b+3a²c+3a²c | Considering a2, we can choose 2 a's from 3 factors in C(3,2)=3 ways. We can write down the terms containing squares: |
As we can choose 1 element from 4, there are 4 possibilities here. (One shown to the left and the other three below and to the left) |
3b²a+3b²c+3b²c+ 3c²a+3c²b+3c²d+ 3d²a+3d²b+3d²b |
Similarly for the other letters. | For the third part, we can choose this letter from the remaining 3, C(3,1)=3. We therefore have 4 of 3 with a coefficient of 3, giving a sum of the coefficients of 36. |
6abc+6abd+6acd+6bcd | Finally, there are the combination of single letters, such as abc. We can choose the first letter from 3 factors in 3 ways. The second in 2. And the last in 1 way. That is C(3,1)·C(2,1)·C(1,1)=6. We therefore write the combinations down. | There are four elements, a, b, c, d so we can choose 3 of them from 4, in 4 ways. There are therefore four of these. The sum of the coefficients is 4·6=24. |
We add up the coefficients to check that they sum to (1+1+1+1)3=64 | We can also check the part sums, as above |
(a+b+c+d+e)3 | ||
a3+b3+c3+d3+e3 | As usual, the cubics have a coefficient 1: | There are 5 different letters, so we have 5 cubics. The sum of the coefficients is 1·5=5. |
3a²b+3a²c+3a²d+3a²e+ 3b²a+3b²c+3b²d+3b²e+ 3c²a+3c²b+3c²d+3a²e+ 3d²a+3d²b+3d²c+3d²e+ 3e²a+3e²b+3e²c+3e²d+ |
Considering the a2 terms, we can choose an a2 term by selecting 2 a's from the three factors, C(3,2)=3. | We can choose a letter for a square in 5 ways, which we can combine with 4 other letters, to make 5·4=20. The sum of the coefficients is: 20·3=60 |
6abc+6abd+6abe+ 6acd+6ace+6ade+ 6bcd+6bce+ 6bde+ 6cde |
We can choose one of the letters in 3 ways; the second in 2; and the last in 1 way, making 6: C(3,1)·C(2,1)·C(1,1)=6 | We can select 3 letters from 5 in C(5,3) ways, or 10. The sum of the coefficients is therefore: 6·10=60 |
Check the sum of the coefficients. (1+1+1+1+1)3=125 | We can also check the part sums as above. |
(a+b+c+d+e)4 | For comments, x∈{a,b,c,d,e} | |
a4+b4+c4+d4+e4+ | We can choose 4 letters from 4, in one way, so the coefficient of x4 is C(4,4)=1. | We can choose 1 letter from 5 elements in 5 ways. |
4a3(b+c+d+e)+ 4b3(a+c+d+e)+ 4c3(a+b+d+e)+ 4d3(a+b+c+e)+ 4e3(a+b+c+d)+ |
x3: We can choose three x's from 4 factors in C(4,3) ways=4 | We can choose a letter (for the cube) from 5 elements in C(5,1) ways, and the remaining letter in C(4,1) ways. So there are 5⋅4=20 groups, and the sum of the coefficients is 20⋅4=80 |
6a2(b2+c2+d2+e2)+ 6b2(c2+d2+e2)+ 6c2(d2+e2)+ 6d2e2+ |
We can choose x2 from 4 factors in C(4,2) ways. And then choose another in C(2,2) ways, giving 6⋅1 ways | We can choose 2 letters from 5 in C(5,2)=10 ways. This gives us 6⋅10=60 is the sum of the coefficients |
12a2(bc+bd+be+cd+ce+de)+ 12b2(ac+ad+ae+cd+ce+de)+ 12c2(ab+ad+ae+bd+be+de)+ 12d2(ab+ac+ae+bc+be+ce)+ 12e2(ab+ac+ad+bc+bd+cd)+ |
We can choose x2 as above in 6 ways. From the remaining 2 factors, we can choose two different letters in C(2,1)⋅C(1,1) ways, giving in all 12 ways. | We can choose 1 letter from 5 in 5 ways. And 2 letters from 4 in C(4,2) ways giving 30 ways. The sum of the coefficients is therefore: 30⋅12=360 |
24abcd+24abce+24abde+24acde+ 24bcde |
For letters we can choose C(4,1)⋅C(3,1)⋅C(2,1)⋅C(1,1)=24 | We can choose four letters from 5 in C(5,4) ways=5. The coefficient sum is therefore 5⋅24=120 |
We check the sum of the coeffients is (1+1+1+1+1)4=625 |

I grew up surrounded by books, storytellers and interesting characters. I credit my family for instilling in me the love of a good story in any form. Being an avid reader, the idea came to me that I ought to try writing a story of my own, but it didn't take me long to realise it was easier said than done. So when I had the opportunity to pursue a masters degree in writing popular fiction, it seemed a natural fit. I try to write the kinds of stories I would want to read.
I live in rural western Pennsylvania with my parents on our small family farm, where I work on my next project while watching cattle wander outside my window. I teach elementary school in the district I attended as a child. When I'm not working, writing or reading, I enjoy travelling, making cards and spoiling my nieces and nephews on a regular basis.

Middle English (as an adjective used in a derogatory way to denote a person with different speech and customs): from Old French barbarien, from barbare, or from Latin barbarus (see barbarous).
The ancient Greeks had a high opinion of themselves and a correspondingly low one of other peoples. They called everyone who did not speak Greek barbaros or 'foreign', which is where we get barbarian and related words barbaric (Late Middle English), barbarity (late 17th century), and barbarous (early 16th century). The word barbaros originally imitated the unintelligible language of foreigners, which to the Greeks just sounded like ba, ba, ba.

UPDATE: Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star reports that the Jays and Janssen have agreed to a two-year, $5.9 million contract with a $4 million option for 2014. The new deal buys out his final year of arbitration and potentially his first two years of free agency.
3:29 PM: Casey Janssen and the Blue Jays are close to signing a two-year deal that would buy out his final season of arbitration eligibility and cover his first year of free agency, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.
No word yet on the money, but Janssen asked for $2.2 million in arbitration while the Blue Jays countered at $1.8 million.
Janssen was briefly demoted to Triple-A in April because he had a minor-league option remaining and there was a bullpen logjam. He also spent a big chunk of the season on the disabled list with a forearm injury, but still logged 56 innings with a 2.26 ERA and 53/14 K/BB ratio. He's quietly emerged as one of the league's top setup men, posting a 2.91 ERA in 199 career relief outings.
Davidi notes that Toronto hasn't gone through with an arbitration hearing since way back in 1997.

Janssen's a + set up guy and can g long relief once in a while. I'm glad he's gonna stick around for a bit.
- missthemexpos - Feb 13, 2012 at 3:59 PM
With the pen overhaul this winter I expect the # of blown saves to be reduced by at least six games.
- proudlycanadian - Feb 13, 2012 at 4:14 PM
As there wasn't a big gap between the Jays and Janssen, I expected that they were working on a longer term agreement.
- proudlycanadian - Feb 13, 2012 at 6:40 PM
The news that the deal has been reached is great. When healthy Janssen has been a very solid relief pitcher for the Jays.

Somehow a bunch of development packages (libc6-dev, ncurses5-dev, and a few others) got uninstalled on that machine. Anyway... I was somewhat able to cross-compile a kernel.

It panics almost immediately, like all other kernels I compiled natively (on the O2) from something other than the Debian sources.

I also tried rsyncing the Debian sources over to my Core Duo 2 Debian machine for cross-compiling. I was unable to get past the .config step. Debian's patches must hinder cross-compiling in some manner. For example, make menuconfig seems to refuse to display MIPS as the architecture anymore. I've been mainly using a working Debian 2.6.18 config (i.e. the one from their package which lets me compile working 2.6.18 from the Debian sources), but the default config (set to IP32, RK5, etc.) panics at boot as well. Not sure if the message is 100% identical, I can double check if anyone thinks that would help. Thanks again for all the help, it's appreciated. One, make sure you're doing "make vmlinux.32", and two, CONFIG_BUILD_ELF64 is _not_ enabled. For 2.6.20, I had to cram in a patch from Frank to get these things to not PROM crash (due to the elimination of CPHYSADDY and replacement by __pa()), but on 2.6.21, this patch was unnecessary. Unsure about 2.6.22-rcX. O2's will boot a pure 64bit kernel, but my experience is that they are ridiculously slow at it (the console lags severely). vmlinux.32 is the modern method of 64bit-code-in-a-32bit-shell, which the O2's and IP22 systems will swallow much better. Also, gbefb must be no greater than 4MB memory in menuconfig.And what's the MHz of your R5000? 300MHz?, if so, it'll be the RM5200, and you'll want "RM52xx" for CPU instead. --Kumba -- Gentoo/MIPS Team Lead"Such is oft the course of deeds that move the wheels of the world: small hands do them because they must, while the eyes of the great are elsewhere." --Elrond |

- Questions? Ideas? Want to join the ASSA mailing list? Contact us.
The American Studies Student Association (ASSA)has historically been an active student group on the CSUF campus: supporting the American Studies student journal, The American Papers, sponsoring guest lectures by visiting scholars and hosting student-faculty gatherings such as informal "get acquainted" pizza parties, movie nights, and the ASSA's annual Ethnic Dinner-- when American Studies students, faculty, and friends put their considerable analytical and interpretive abilities to work in the kitchen instead of the study, the result is a delectable feast of ethnic heritage entrees and desserts.
While ASSA events and gatherings are usually well-attended, ASSA "activists" hope to increase student attendance and participation in ASSA business meetings and leadership roles. American Studies majors, grad students, minors, and interested others are encouraged to attend ASSA events and meetings and get to know their fellow ASSA members. Students may join in and become active in the Association at any point -- if you miss a meeting or event, don't let that keep you from participating when you can!

FoxIT Reader for PDF files is great! It loads up quickly, and is generally an awesome alternative to "the other guys". But the security and configuration problems are exactly the same.
How are you going to deal with:
- Update behavior (turning it off, so users aren't prompted)
- Turning off dangerous items like Javascript support
- Ensure "Enable Safe Reading Mode" is always turned on
… or anything else that's important to your company?
Without PolicyPak, there is no way to deliver these settings and enforce them on. Watch this video to get a handle on the problem and where PolicyPak puts the smack down on this important problem.
Click here for Video Transcript
Our solution isn't a mere "ADM" template, it's a true Group Policy extension, with powerful management and lockdown capabilities. PolicyPak can deliver, lockdown and revoke FoxITsettings – the way you need to using Group Policy.
Our PolicyPak software snaps-in to the Group Policy Editor and mimics the user interface of FoxIT Reader application itself. You can set key settings (like turning off FoxIT Reader updates), like what is seen here.
Without PolicyPak, you've got nothing. Users can just work around your settings and steamroll over you.
Besides, once you're using PolicyPak to manage Acrobat Reader, you'll also get to manage all your other enterprise desktop applications the same way:Java, WinZip, Firefox, and any custom applications you have. They're 100% included – absolutely free.
It's all included when you're a PolicyPak Professional customer.

Waiting for GPS...
Sorry, could not get the GPS position.
This is a different message than before but nonetheless - no GPS
Hi one question i had for you guys. I just got the BJII and i like making my own ringtones. However, i tried this and it told me the maximum size it would support was only 300k. Anyway around this because thats pretty small. ANy feedback would be appreciated Thanks!
can anyone tell me the exact specs for the BJ 2??
how much rom/ram
what processor and what mhz
which would be better to use if i plan to buy an unlocked one to use with tmobile usa... the bj 2 or generic q9h (not global.. too expensive)
Am I dumb, or is there no way to view time & date in call history? This seems like a very strange omission--how am I supposed to know how long it's been since I missed a call?
you wouldn't have even been able to get to the google.com/gmm page on your phone browser without a data plan, let alone download google makes, unless you downloaded on your PC and uploaded it to your phone. the initial message just lets you know that if you use this software you need a data plan, if you have a data plan the maps would be pulled up via your data plan. so yes everytime your scroll around the map and it says "loading XXkb" in the upper right corner. it's hitting your data plan for that amount of data. if you have a limited data plan (i.e. 15mb) once those are up you will be charged extra. my suggestion is if you plan on using your phone to browse the web or use google maps that you get the unlimited data plan (e.g. surf and download as much as you want with no extra charges). the GPS on your phone when using google maps has no extra charge. GPS on your phone(if you can get it to connect) is free as long as you're not using the BS Telenav that ATT as teamed up with to rip you off. yes it's nice of them to offer you Nav software but the fact that they didn't create a UI to set configure your GPS is extremely annoying. it's the same as the UK version of the BJI having Wifi and the US(ATT) version not. ATT wants us to use our data plans in hopes that we don't have the unlimited data plan so that we can run over our data plan and they can charge us extra.
*Sorry venting*
anyways i hope this helps you out.

Can you/anyone help me re-assign CV (Cingular Video) and AT&T (Logo) keys to some other programs? I don't use CV or ATT home page and can use these dedicated keys to launch some other more useful programs.

Oh I don't doubt it, and I'm not saying that the Bluetooth PAN connection is superior. I'm just saying it's nice to have the availability of it so that I don't need to always have a USB cable with me - something that wouldn't be a problem in and of itself if Samsung didn't use a proprietary connector pinout to the phone. I'm willing to take half of the data speed if it means I don't always have to remember a cable.
I've been using Audacity (you can get it for free from download.com) to trim mp3s down to 20-30 seconds--this seems to do the job since you don't really need a whole song...
does anyone know how to use mp3s for notifications?

Nico Rosberg is looking forward to returning to the scene of his first grand prix victory at the Chinese Grand Prix next weekend.
The Mercedes driver claimed his first win after 111 starts in Shanghai last season, leading the majority of the race having started from pole position. These fond memories will undoubtedly make this race all the more special for Rosberg.
"I travel to China next week with very good memories from winning my first Formula One race in Shanghai last year, and having led the race there for the past three years," Rosberg explained.
"I enjoy the Shanghai track a great deal and I have a positive feeling going there with the car that we have at the moment."
The race is also off the back of a strong result for Mercedes, after finishing third and fourth in Malaysia, but Rosberg has revealed that they are still looking to better the W04.
"The team have been working very hard to develop our car since returning from Malaysia and I will be at the factory on Monday to complete my preparations in the simulator for the next two races.
"We've had a strong start to the season and I'm confident that we can keep pushing and hopefully score some good results in China and Bahrain."
- chaparral2f - Apr 6, 2013 at 5:51 PM
Rosberg actually looked pretty racey with Hamilton. He knows his reputation is on the line as well as the fact that Hamilton seems to be the preferred driver. I just wonder if we will see a repeat of the Vettel-Webber deal between Nico and Lewis?
- techmeister1 - Apr 6, 2013 at 11:46 PM
I don't think Hamilton is the preferred driver at Mercedes. Rosberg has been consistently quick and actually able to score more points then Hamilton had his car not failed in Australia. I think Rosberg has been driving the wheels of the weak cars he has been given the past three years and what looks to be a better car this year. Hamilton is going to have his work cut out for him because Rosberg is not only an excellent driver, he's smart and knows how to get the job done.

Children's Literature
Fantasy lovers will enjoy the action in this fourth title in the "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" series. In this novel, Soren and his friends are sent on a mission to the orphanage of St. Aggie's, the same place Soren and Gylfie had escaped from in a previous novel. The orphanage serves as a slave labor camp where kidnapped owlets are used to mine dangerous "flecks." The reason for the task is the Guardians' suspicion that members of the Pure Ones have also infiltrated St. Aggie's. They believe the Pure Ones' are attempting to discover more about how the flecks work, in order to disrupt other owls' mind and flight capabilities. The complex storyline interweaves episodes of battle and adventure with lighter moments, while highlighting the devastating effects of prejudice and censorship. Because Lasky instantly immerses the reader into a fully-realized fantasy world, new readers of the series may find the dizzying shift in vocabulary and numerous prior-plot references difficult to grasp. However, once the reader gains an understanding of the intricacies of owl life, the novel offers an enthralling science fantasy, which takes full advantage of the author's vast knowledge regarding the different species of owls. Her semi-scientific speculation on the effects of magnetism on an owl's sense of direction adds authenticity and depth to the fantasy. Other than the occasional vocabulary problem, the story is easily readable, and the fast-paced action will leave fantasy lovers clamoring for more. 2004, Scholastic Inc, Ages 8 to 12.—Laura Ruttig

High-speed rail project goes to court
UPDATED 2:08 PM PDT Sep 27, 2013Groups opposed to California's high-speed rail project faced off with the state in a Sacramento courtroom Friday, claiming bonds were improperly collected for the project.
Video TranscriptINDIA WANT TO REDUCE TENSIONS WITH PAKISTAN. , THE PRIME MINISTER WILL MEET WITH PAKISTAN'S PRIME MINISTER. ONE OF THE LAWSUITS AGAINST THE HIGH-SPEED RAIL PROJECT IS IN COURT TODAY. DAVID BIENICK IS LIVE AT THE COURTHOUSE WITH WHAT IS BEING DISCUSSED AT THE PROCEEDINGS. DAVID. THIS IS A LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY THE STATE THIS YEAR AGAINST EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE STATE PLANS TO RAISE $9 BILLION FOR THE HIGH-SPEED RAIL PROJECT. THIS MORNING OPPONENTS WERE EAGER TO TAKE THE STATE UP ON HIS CHALLENGE AND SAID THE BONDS WERE APPROVED BY A SPECIAL COMMITTEE EARLIER THIS YEAR IN A WAY THAT WAS IMPROPER. FOR ONE, NONE OF THE REGULAR METHODS -- MEMBERS WAS PRESENT. THEY SENT SUBSTITUTES. OPPONENTS ARGUE THE BONDS ARE NOT WHAT VOTERS APPROVED IN 2000 AND EIGHT. THEY SAY IT WOULD BE -- 2008. THEY SAY IT WOULD BE A TRUE HIGH-SPEED RAIL LINE. THE STATE SAID SOME OF THESE ISSUES CAN BE BROUGHT UP LATER WITH OTHER CASES BUT IT NEEDS TO SELL THESE FONTS RIGHT AWAY. THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF URGENCY TO THIS. IT IS A SICKLY RUNNING OUT OF THE MONEY IT HAS IN THE BANK. IT NEEDS TO PUT MORE MONEY IN THE BANK VERY SOON SO IT CAN FINALLY BREAK GROUND. THE JUDGE IS EXPECTED TO RULE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

Nokia Lumia 800 only available on contract until 2012
The SIM-free Nokia Lumia 800 has been delayed until next year, so if you want the new Windows Phone you'll have to buy it on contract.
Update: Nokia has denied the Lumia 800 will not be available SIM-free.
Read more details here
. Original story follow.
Bad news Nokia fans -- the Nokia Lumia 800 SIM-free model has been held back until January next year.
That means you'll need to buy into a contract if you want to get your hands on Nokia's first Windows Phone device this side of Christmas. The news comes via online retailer Clove, which confirmed on its blog that the Lumia 800 wouldn't be arriving SIM-free in the UK until 2012.
It's going to be available exclusively on contracts from 16 November, but we would recommend holding off if you can possibly bear it -- signing up to a brutally long contract is usually much more expensive in the long run than buying outright.
The Nokia Lumia 800 is a tasty bit of hardware, with a 1.4GHz processor and an 8-megapixel camera. The real headline feature however is that it's running Windows Phone, Microsoft's trendy alternative operating system.
Windows Phone wants to beat Apple's iOS and Google's Android systems, both of which are hugely popular. We like Windows Phone a lot, and the hope is that with Nokia's recognisable name and hardware heritage it can bump Microsoft's OS into the mainstream.
This delay could damage those lofty aspirations -- generally speaking people aren't feeling too flush post-Christmas, and will be much less inclined to drop hundreds of pounds on a fancypants smart phone.
What do you think? Will the wait until January for SIM-free phones hurt the Lumia 800's chances? Let us know down in the comments, or on our Facebook wall.

The diagnosis and prognosis of esophageal cancer includes the following:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. Significant elements in your medical history include your country of origin, race, symptoms of chronic reflux esophagitis ( heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease ), and exposure to substances that irritate and damage the throat. Your doctor may also ask about rare congenital conditions.
No part of your physical exam points directly to this disease, but your doctor will do a thorough exam to evaluate your overall health and look for associated conditions, like malnutrition, pneumonia , and head, neck, and lung cancer .
Your doctor may do the following tests:
Cytology is the study of cells. The cytology of cancer cells differs significantly from normal cells, and physicians use the unique cellular features seen on biopsy samples to determine the diagnosis and assess the prognosis of a cancer.
It may be difficult to remove a sample of tissue for biopsy, because it is often covered with a thick layer of normal tissue. Cells may be obtained by brushing the tissue during endoscopy. At the present time, due to the grim prognosis for this disease, biopsy and tissue identification is not particularly helpful other than to confirm the diagnosis.
Staging is the process by which physicians determine the anatomical extent of the cancer disease. Accurate staging is considered one of the main prognostic factors that determine the fate of the disease. Staging is also essential for making treatment decisions, such as surgery vs. chemotherapy . Several features of the cancer are used to arrive at a staging classification, the most common being the size of the original tumor (T), lymph nodes involvement (N), and spread to distant sites (M), called metastasis. Low staging classifications (1-2) imply a favorable prognosis, whereas high staging classifications (3-4) imply an unfavorable prognosis.
The TNM system of classification is used to stage esophageal cancer. The stage may be predicted by the use of radiologic data, such as that from CT scans, MRI, endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and biopsies. The stage is comprised of a T (size of the tumor), N (presence of cancer in lymph nodes), and M (presence of cancer in distant sites like bone, liver, and lung).
*In esophagus cancer, a regional lymph node is based on the location of the tumor in the esophagus.

FIXES, a system for automatic selection of set-ups and design of fixtures
Boerma, J.R. and Kals, H.J.J. (1988) FIXES, a system for automatic selection of set-ups and design of fixtures. CIRP Annals, 37 (1). pp. 443-446. ISSN 0007-8506
584kB |
Abstract: | This paper reports on the development of a computer aided planning system for the selection of set-ups and the design of fixtures in part manufacturing. First, the bottlenecks in the present planning methods are indicated. A brief description is given of the CAPP environment PART, in which FIXES is incorporated. The planning procedure of FIXES consists of two parts: the selection of set-ups and the design of a fixture for each set-up. The automatic selection of set-ups is based on the comparison of the tolerances of the relations between the different shape elements of the part. A tolerance factor has been developed to be able to compare the different tolerances. The system automatically selects the positioning faces and supports the selection of tools for positioning, clamping and supporting the part. A prototype implementation of FIXES is discussed. |

It boasts one of the most star-studded casts around, and they'll all be on hand for the world premiere of their film "The Avengers" in Hollywood this evening (April 11).
The highly-anticipated movie hits theaters on May 4th, and a new Russian trailer for "The Avengers" has just been released.
No need to worry if you don't know Russian, the clip reveals action-packed scenes complete with explosions, intense fighting, and super-hero adventures.
It's one of the more anticipated films set for release next year, and brand new movie banners for "The Avengers" was released on Thursday (November 17).
Kicking off their day bright and early, Gwyneth Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo were spotted filming scenes for "Thanks for Sharing" in New York City on Tuesday (October 11).
Confirming rumors that he's turning superhero, it was announced at Comic-Con 2010 that Mark Ruffalo is taking over Edward Norton's role of Incredible Hulk in "The Avengers" movie.
The "Shutter Island" star was all smiles as he took the stage at the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday (July 24) alongside co-stars Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Samuel L. Jackson and Clark Gregg.
It's always hard to see our favorite celebrities weather hardship, and last night Mark Ruffalo's brother passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
The "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" actor's 39-year-old brother Scott was shot in the head last week, and last night he finally lost the fight for his life.

The fact that Booty Talk survives is a testament to the strength of the series. While it doesn't always raise the roof and blow it off, the latest entry provides plenty of smackable-whackable big azz fun. Two bonus scenes are culled from other titles — but the chances of a viewer to have seen both is pretty slim. (Well, not slim, phat.)
The science of buttology could use a few more volunteers such as those appearing in BT81. Uplifting oral skills and a hot bounce in the sack are just icing on this assalicious cake. Furthermore, Baby Cakes brings a huge pair of natural jugs to the table. Her encounter with Rico sizzles ... but her disgusted post-facial expression puts a damper on the scene. Girls shouldn't be goblin' da goop unless they truly crave it. (Especially not when there's all that azz to butter.)
Retailing: For fans of: the series/phat butts/ethnic banging.

Awesome flash! Loved every second of it. Also, nice reference to 'Black Lock Down,' loved that flash also.
There is still alot about the lock legion I need to know about. what is the history of it? Wade fulp barely told me anything about it. I know the clock crew started out with a spammer named strawberry clock, but then they formed as a group and began to put in better and better flash submissions, but then there is this...this...lock legion...wtf are they? Not as big as the clock crew, it seems like the opposite. All these submissions are very well done.
ill save tonight
this a grate vid but its fucking retarded and i know retarded
it cept repeding shit
sand the screemo didnt help
its not as twisted as i like
i love the clock mo fos
i shuved past present and future in it i liked that
so now you know and all the panzies that gave you 10 its kuz they liked it

I like this video.And who's that clock in the pic. with Head Lock and his friends?
Good stuff.
This was a great collab featuring a really catchy song,the video fit the song very well and it was very nice to see all the Locks doing what was said in the song also the animation was great,there was a big shock with the screamo song coming on with the violence & stuff but overall i enjoyed this collab very much.

Another thing which was evident was that the couple used their wealth to enrich the lives of their children and grandchildren by gifting them gold and property from time to time. They were very happy with their small world confined to their kin.
Then I visited my second friend. His austere life style was visible in his each activity. His only reference about his sons and daughters was that they were doing well in their lives.
Slowly, I came to know that he and his wife, who is a doctor, had started a charitable institution after their retirement and it provided free health services in the adjoining villages.
His wife would leave in the morning and would be back at 2 pm after spending some time at all the centres. And he would use this time for banking and doing purchases for these centres and then at 3 pm he would visit the centres to ensure that nothing was amiss.
These two situations tell us two things about life. First, that which brings happiness only to us—Atamtushti; and, second, that which brings happiness to many around us, that is Loktushti.
We are duty-bound to the society which gives us so much. Hindu 'Shastras' tell us that one's last phase of life is 'pay-back time' for what we received in the earlier phases.
And this is not an option but an obligation that one must perform for one's own good.

General Question
What's this painting?
Asked by wildpotato (14281
October 15th, 2010
It's a well-known painting, I think. It's definitely Cubist. It shows two women, one from behind the horizon and one in front, putting a stick vertically into a half of a gourd. I know that an interpretation of the painting is that in putting these together, they are creating the world. Does anyone know the name of the painter and the painting? Please help – this is really bugging me because I stared at a giant poster of this painting for a year every time I took a shit, and I should really know this.
