C2E2 2011: Liss and Zircher Unlock the MYSTERY MEN
C2E2 2011: Unlocking the MYSTERY MEN CREDIT: |
When Marvel debuted the initial teaser image for Mystery Men back in early February, most fans concluded that it had something to do with the 1940s series Daring Mystery Comics published by Marvel predecessor Timely Comics; some even going as far as linking up the shadowy figures in the teasers to specific characters from Marvel's World War II past.
Well, silver medal try. As first announced Sunday during Marvel's "Next Big Thing" panel at C2E2 in Chicago, Mystery Men stars all-new characters, hailing from the pulp era of fiction — specifically 1932, years before guys like Captain America, Namor the Sub-Mariner, or even the Daring Mystery Comics folks showed up.
Mystery Men is a five-issue miniseries, written by David Liss (Black Panther: The Man Without Fear) and illustrated by Patrick Zircher, a comics veteran who has showed his range in titles from Terror Inc. to Nightwing to Cable & Deadpool. The comic starts in June, with two issues scheduled to ship that month.
The five main characters of Mystery Men — Marvel's first (of many) New York City-based costumed crimefighters — are The Surgeon, The Operative, Achilles, The Revenant and The Aviatrix. Liss said that it's more of an "ensemble story" than a team book.
"Some of these characters get along with each other, some don't, and some have very complicated issues with each other," Liss wrote. "Circumstances and necessity force them to take up a common cause, however."The central figure in this book is The Operative, a former cat burglar who comes from wealth and power and a very messed up family. He's been using his skills to rob from the rich and ease the plight of the poor during the Depression, but when the woman he loves is murdered, he is drawn into a dark and dangerous pulp world."
That murder is inspired by (but not "based on," Liss clarifies) an actual event from the time period."We wanted to do something that combined gritty realism, pulp goodness, and an early emergence of the Marvel U," Liss wrote.
Though the comic definitely takes place in the Marvel Universe, Liss said the connections won't necessarily be explicit, given the early year the comic is set in — though at the C2E2 panel, he did state that Baron Heinrich Zemo (the current Zemo's dad and the first in the family to glue a hood to his face) would be old enough in 1932 to play a role in Mystery Men; hinting that the popular Captain American nemesis and Masters of Evil founder might make an appearance.
"I'd say the continuity offers some Easter eggs, but if you don't know some of the references we drop, I can't imagine it would disrupt the reading experience," Liss wrote. "We wanted to include enough continuity to remind readers that this is part of a dynamic universe, but we didn't want to lay it on too thick. We wanted it to feel natural, informative and interesting. "Liss, who made his name in the publishing industry with historical fiction novels like A Conspiracy of Paper and The Whiskey Rebels, finds the 1930s to be an especially inspiring decade.
"The 1930s offer so much rich material for story telling — the Depression, corruption incredible poverty and incredible wealth, prohibition, crime, snappy clothes, you name it," Liss wrote. "I love the stylized characters and storytelling of the period, and I love the crime and pulp stories that emerged in the '30s. There are so many great tools to play around with."
Zircher has a similar affection for the period.
"The pulp era and early Golden Age setting is rich territory," the artist wrote. "We could touch on actual history and some of its fascinating characters. Then there's the fedoras, suits, sexy dresses, the planes, trains, and automobiles.
"At the same time, we wanted to make a book that had an exciting Marvel 'feel.' Fans who haunt the message boards know I love that era's characters and the men and women who made them (I once posted bios for dozens of Golden Age characters) — but also love seeing pulp characters written and drawn by modern comic creators."This is Zircher's first time working with Liss, and the artist said that collaborating with someone with a background outside of comics has definite advantages.
"I've worked with David Liss and Daniel Knauf, a novelist and a television writer," wrote Zircher, who worked with Knauf on Iron Man. "Both saw page space differently than long-time comic readers who had transitioned to comic writers. They were apt to put more on a page than I'm usually comfortable with. That does make for more work (though these gents quickly and adeptly perceived the rhythm of comics). In any event, there's a plus, writers from other backgrounds bring those skills and sensibilities with them and often take interesting approaches uncommon to other comics.
"David's stories are full of ideas and make incredibly satisfying reads. There's a lot of meat on the bone!"

Front Input Remote View larger JVC CS-BB2 Compact powered subwoofer Item #: 105CSBB2 38 Reviews This item is no longer available. Original Price: $149.99 Shop all Powered Subwoofers Need help? 1.888.955.6000 Email Chat Ask an expert advisor No pressure, no commission — just lots of good advice from our highly trained staff.
by Ken Nail Craving bass but strapped for space? Put JVC's CS-BB2 compact powered subwoofer to work in your car. This self-contained bass solution will do wonders for your sonic experience even when you've got little room to spare. The slim silver and black cabinet houses a 6" subwoofer and a conservatively-rated 32 watts RMS x 2 amplifier. The cabinet measures in at a mere 2-1/2" high, making it ideal for mounting under a car seat, or on the back wall of a pickup truck cab. A low-pass filter tailors the bass output to enhance your music, while the included wired volume control gives you fingertip control of the bass volume. Speaker- and preamp-level inputs allow you to hook the CS-BB2 to almost any car system. A power and connection harness is included.

To produce bass, you need a sub, an enclosure, and an amplifier, and it can be little tricky to match them all up. A powered sub eliminates all the hassle, as the manufacturer designs the enclosure to house the sub and amp together. This all-in-one solution is especially useful in smaller vehicles, where there's no room to mount a separate amp, or in any vehicle where you need every bit of cargo space. Powered subs range from small, flat boxes that fit under your seat to larger boxes that go in your trunk.
Great Compact Subwoofer Written By Tom, San Antonio, Tx on Tuesday, September 15, 2009 I recently purchased the JVC CS-BB2 and am very happy with it. It is very compact and fits under my flipdown drink holder in my dodge Ram 1500. The mounting location made the install a snap and the sound is not ditorted by being under the seats. I connected it to my Sony head unit and removed the remote control as my headunit controls it better thru my subwoofer rca outputs. I did have to adjust my low pass filter to 80htz and my high pass filter to 80htz (for my infinity door speakers) to make the system sound incredible. This is truly a great product and completes my sound system for very crisp, clear and clean sounding music.
Just what I needed! Written By Steve, Eldorado, IL on Thursday, November 08, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just needed bass to complete the sound, and this little sub did the trick. I installed it under the passenger seat of my 1999 Toyota Tacoma and it will produce more bass than needed. Well worth the money and time spent installing.
INCREDIBLE VALUE!!! Written By lunchbox660, sunny california on Wednesday, November 07, 2007 I recently purchased two of these little beauties to fill in the lower end freqs for my car. I used to be really into the huge sound of huge subs, but i did not want to sacrifice my space in my new car, so this was a great alternative for me. I read all the reviews on the product and quite frankly i am shocked that some people would have the audacity to complain that this product doesnt provide the super loud, deep punch of a big sub. of COURSE it doesnt, its not supposed to, its not that kind of sub. BUT what it DOES do is really fill in the void of sound where the factory installed or even an aftermarket pair of door/deck speakers leaves off. my car has 6 1/2" speakers all around, and even they do not provide me with enough bass, but this unit adds that much missed tone. i firmly beleive that for the money, you will not find ANY better product that is in the same category. they tuck neatly under my seat where i am not using the space anyway, and give me a sound that i am VERY pleased with for the dollar :) i highly recommend them to the budget oriented consumer who wants just a little more oompf in there system without sacrificing space.
Simple science or consider the alt. Written By Ian, Riverside, CA on Tuesday, October 23, 2007 I bought it. I heard bad reviews. I heard good ones. You will get $150 worth of bass easy. It won't rattle things. The sound will be cleaner for it. You won't go deaf. These are mostly good things to be said. It has an on and off switch. I get upset when its off. I have had it for a year and I panic if it accidentally get switched off. I miss it that much. It is a very good subwoofer. I have had amps that cost twice what this costs. I have had sub speakers that cost about twenty dollars more than this cost; a piece. All in all a 1000 dollar system might make you twice as happy and take three times the work and last weeks before everyone in the neighborhood knows what you have and steals it. If you buy more than this get theft insurance and plan on redoing your entire system because your subs got everything else stolen. I say save it for the big screen.
Clear as mud! Written By Maestro, Arlington, VA on Wednesday, October 17, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had been advised that this subwoofer would fill in the bass void for my fantastic Boston Acoutics speakers so that I could distinguish a string bass from a tuba from a tympani. It was not intended to serve as a thumper. But, it only gives a hint of these instruments. Piano bass is likewise poorly defined. The only thing going for it are price, size and built-in amp. In spite of the installer's comment that my head unit could control it without the remote, I found that it was essential to plug the remote in and locate on conveniently on top of the hand brake in order to take any advantage from this sub.
Adequate for its size, but not for bass thumpers Written By Lee, Boston area on Thursday, August 16, 2007 I had my folks pick this up for me for my birthday. Installation was a snap with the included wiring harness. I've got it running off a Alpine HU with RCA cables for the inputs. It actually squeezes under the seat in my 2006 Mazda Miata. The sound output is noticable and does add to the bottom end of my music. I can feel the bass coming up through the seat, which is kind of cool. But don't expect it to rattle your windows or mirrors because it can't. Is it worth the price? Only if nothing else will fit. Otherwise I'd suggest another option.
I don't recommend it. Written By sebaz, Raleigh, NC on Saturday, July 28, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is not really a subwoofer, in the usual terms one thinks of as a subwoofer. The main reason to get a subwoofer is that the 6x9 speakers can only handle a certain amount of bass before making that annoying "ploc" noise that happens when the speakers receive more bass than they can handle. Thus the need for a subwoofer that can handle that extra bass without going "ploc" on you. Also, 6x9s are decent at reproducing bass in the 100 Hz area but not at anything lower than that, and subwoofers are good to compensate for that drop. But this model doesn't do a decent job in either area, it still "plocs" when the bass is too loud, and it doesn't reproduce lower bass frequencies than a 6x9 speaker. It does well in the 100 Hz area and anything lower drops considerably. This is only worth it if you for some reason can't have 6x9 speakers in the back and you only have tiny speakers and need some bass, then that's the only situation where this item could be worthwhile.
This tiny sub sounds great Written By la_surfer222, Diamond Bar, CA on Friday, June 15, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Without having much cargo or trunk space in my 2005 Prius, I chose this unit to be installed under the front seat (passenger). Installation went pretty easily, and I'm impressed with the sound. As long as the seperate sub volume control is not set too high, I get exactly what I wanted; rich, full sound with bass that is not over powerering or sounding too "punchy" . Be sure to try the different phase switch settings for the best sound. I definitely like having the remote power / volume controller (and yes, it is needed depending on what type of music you are playing). Now that I have my sub, along with the Infinity door speakers I installed earlier, my little Prius with the factory stereo sounds quite impressive!
great for trucks Written By michael, hendersonville, nc on Saturday, June 09, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I don't have much room, much money, or much need for bass that draws attention. I wanted something that would add depth to my new sound system, and I got it in a major way! Fits great under the seat of my 2003 Ford Ranger ext. cab, and as I said adds the vital low end to my favorite pop and rock tunes. I feel it's a must have for 30 and 40 somethings like me.
Perfect for my '06 TJ Written By john, Colorado on Monday, June 04, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I considered the Kenwood KSC-SW1, but after reading the reviews I decided I needed a smaller box to fit under the driver seat. The JVC CS-BB2 fits perfectly between the slider rails without blocking my rear passenger's toes. I bolted it in (removed seat to drill the holes) but I bet it would not slide if you relied on Velcro alone.My HU is an Alpine CDA-9883 and I'm feeding the sub with 8 feet of Monster RCA cable. I have Kicker 05KS52 5-1/4"s in the dash (adapter plates from another vendor) and Infinity Reference 6012si 6-1/2"s in my sport bar sound pods.I listen to classic & modern rock, folk, classical -- nothing that thumps. This sub does exactly what it claims. It adds precisely what I was missing, right in the seat of my pants (literally!). As others have stated, this isn't gonna garner attention from your vehicular or pedestrian neighbors, but if you own a 4-speaker TJ, you'll finally be able to enjoy your tunes above 50mph with the top down.
Jeep Wrangler installation Written By Kerry, North Coast on Thursday, May 24, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This subwoofer works great in my '01 Wrangler. I had already installed a Blaupunkt stereo, so hooking the subwoofer up was a breeze. Two hot wires, one ground wire and a (not included) RCA cable and I was rockin.Since I only had four 5" speakers in the Jeep it was seriously lacking bass, especially with the top off. This subwoofer easily adds more than enough bass - and with the (wired) remote it's easy to adjust to the perfect level on the fly. I don't think I ever turn it up past half way. It's not a thumper per se, but I don't listen to thumpin' music and frankly I'm grateful that it doesn't rattle the neighbors windows. What it does do is add nice warm bass to my metal, rock, classic rock and blues cds. It's exactly what I was hoping for and priced right. It fits under the Jeep seat fairly well too. It seems to be solid as a rock and doesn't rattle at all so far. Rock on.
Better Than Expected Written By Chipp, Kansas City, MO on Saturday, May 19, 2007 I'm a fairly picky music and asthetics fan. In my truck I don't have too much space and the stock speaker spaces don't allow for too much flexibility (4x10 rear 5 1/4-6" doors) so I read all the reviews & specs of the small powered subs and the JVC, although the smallest would fit snugly either under the drivers seat or against the back wall of the cab while still allowing use of the rear jump seats. The fit is perfect! It's mounted behind the passenger seat between the side wall and the jack enclosure. the amp for my system is mounted behind the drivers seat. As all the reviews said, this little thumper does very well with all but rap & some hip-hop. I'm not much into shaking foundations, so the JVC fills in the low end nicely and is adjustible through my Kenwood Excelon head unit. Installation was a breeze (I kinda cheated - I tapped power & remote turn on from my existing amp and upped the fuse size.) All in all, a very nice little sub - Highly recommended!
JVC CS-BB2 Written By christopher, Danbury CT on Thursday, May 17, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have an 04 Wrangler and the sound system needed some updating so after I purchased a Pioneer deck with Polk speakers front and rear it sounded much better but was still missing something. My Jeep did not have the factory sub so I wanted something small. I gave the JVC a try and was really not expecting much. I was very much surprised on how it filled in where the speakers were missing. This is by no means a high powered sub so if you want spleen shaking bass you need to look elsewhere. If you are looking for a great sounding sub and don't need to be heard a block away, I would really recomend this.
Great Sub for Small Footprint Written By cyberspun, Kansas City on Monday, April 30, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just installed this in my 2001 Isuzu Vehicross and I am very impressed! I knew that this was not going to be the kind of sub that rattles the windows as I come down the street but for adding more depth without taking up precious cargo area this is prefect. I was able to install this right under the drivers seat without any trouble. The hook up was very easy (I have a JVC KD-AVX2)no problems. The 5.1 works awesome with DVD's a very good match. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a little more base without sacrificing any room.
Small Sub for a small car Written By captainbk, Florida on Monday, April 23, 2007 I drive a Honda S2000. Even with upgraded head unit and speakers the car never had good bass sound. Adding a conventional sub to such a small car means loosing even more space in the trunk and eliminating the spare tire just for the sub-woofer amp. I wasnt willing to make those sacrifices.When I saw the CS-BB2, I knew it would fit perfectly under the drivers seat of the S2000. I was right, a perfect fit.The sound is great with my Pioneer head unit and no additional amplification, although I think it would do well with up to 60 watts per channel if you want additional volume.No, it's not the 10" in the trunk as far as thump but hey, I can still carry my golf clubs and be ready to change a flat tire. Major thumbs up for this product. I think you will be selling alot of these to the S2000 community.
Good Little Unit Written By Russell, Milton-Freewater, OR on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This unit was installed with my new head unit and speakers in my 99 Ford Ranger ext.cab. Since I didn't want to loose any space behind the seat, this unit fit nicely under the pass. seat. Easy installation. I am over 40, still listen to hard rock, like decent bass with my music, but, don't need to rattle the windows a block away. This unit was everything I asked for and more! Good bass, at a reasonable listening volume. A little muddy at extreme volume, but I wouldn't listen to my music at that volume. If you have limited space, want good bass at a resonable volume, don't need to rattle the windows a block away, then this unit fits the bill perfectly. Highly recomended!
Surprisingly Good Little Thumper Written By Dave, from Houston, Texas on Thursday, April 05, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I needed bass but couldnt give up the space. I had only one spot left in my 2006 Toyota Matrix, and that was under the drivers seat. Since I needed my rear seat passengers to be able to get their toes under my front seats, the JVC CS-BB2 was called to duty.I have a JVC KD-G430 head unit that is driving four 6-1/2" Alpine SPS-171A door speakers as well as providing output to the JVC CS-BB2 "sub"-woofer. All bought from Crutchfield over the last year.Luckily, my JVC head unit has RCA line-outs that can be selected as subwoofer outputs. That means I can adjust the cutoff frequency at the head unit to "Low - 90 Hz", "Mid - 135 Hz", or "High - 180 Hz. Also, the JVC head unit voltage output to the subwoofer can be adjusted to meet the JVC CS-BB2 requirement of no greater than 2 volts.I think these adjustments are important to get the best out of this little subwoofer. From trying this subwoofer hooked up as regular line out speakers, the results were not as great. Still better than no subwoofer at all, just not optimum.Now, this JVC subwoofer does have its limitations. Those limitations are really low, mega air moving bass that is in most hip hop music. I believe those notes just require massive amounts of power, driving a speaker with lots of surface area to be able to produce those ultra lows with any kind of loud volume. You can hear those notes in the JVC, it just can't make them loud.ANY other music choice you have and this thing will thump very well indeed.For its size and price, I give it 5 stars.When you consider its size, I give it 5 stars for sound, too.
99 Jeep Wrangler Written By jmr01506, Brookfield, Ma. on Friday, March 30, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sub is a great deal for the money! It installed easily under my drivers' seat with minimal mods. It sounds great in the Jeep. Very happy with it!!
Poor frequency response! Written By Ozz, El Paso, Texas on Friday, March 30, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I read the rave reviews and was a bit skeptical. I didnt expect glass-rattling bass, only a supplement to a factory Honda radio in an Odyssey. I was also strapped for space. So I went out on a limb and purchased the JVC CS BB-2 powered sub. Installation was as simple as this type of installation can be! Everything except sufficient wire taps were included. Also, running the power cable through the fire wall with an in-line fuse was a bit tricky, but nothing a set of bullet plugs coulnt fix. These two things were the only complication in the installation process (realtively minor, I think). So I powered up the sub. I soon found out that the frequency response curve is very poor. And the gain just makes it worse. I get good response down to about 120Hz (my guess), and then as frequencies drop...almost nothing. I didnt need support at 120 Hz. I needed/expected support at least to 60Hz, would have been very satisfied at 40Hz, and elated had the sub responded to the rated 20Hz.Installation was great (fives stars there), but sound (not to be confused with volume) is where it counts. I only gave the sub two stars for its ease of use, installation, and efficiency of space. Otherwise the rating would have been lower. To summarize, I gave it a chance; I left it in the van for two weeks. The wife stated that the factory radio sounded better without it than with it. I agree. Im sending it back on Monday. The only reason I took a chance on this sub was because it was from Crutchfield. If I didnt like it I could send it back. Thanks Crutchfield, I wouldnt hessitate to order from you all again. p.s. 1st return in over 10 yrs.
Delivers what it says Written By scubasmith, Fort Myers, FL on Thursday, March 29, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I wanted more bass and was not willing to give up valuable space in my vehicle. I drive a coupe, and this sub fit under the front part of the passenger seat, such that when the seat is forward to let people get in the back, you can still not see it. The bass is definately there, filling in some of the lower frequencies that my door speakers can not reach. It is not going to rattle your trunk, but if you want more full spectrum sound without giving up space this thing is great!
Perfect for 30 Somethings and Older!!! Written By Bill, Pensacola, FL on Saturday, March 24, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this for our 2005 Hyundai Sonata because I didn't want to give up trunk space to a Boom Boom sub box. At only a little over 2 inches high it fit perfectly under the passenger seat. I use a Sony GTX 400(?)head unit with 4 Infinity 600 speakers. They are nice by themselves but they didn't have quite enough bottom to them. This JVC unit solved the problem with fantastic results. I can control the sub with the supplied remote which is mounted in the tray beneath the head unit and still have room for CD's. The boost button provides more bass than us old folks might normally use but you can adjust the level with the volume knob also on the remote. I highly recommend this sub to folks want bass without giving up space or who want to maintain their hearing. A+++.
Excellent value Written By Richard, Tampa, FL on Friday, March 23, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This sub does just exactly what it is designed to do. Is it muddy? Yes. It is a subwoofer. It is designed to put out low fundamental frequencies with a minimum of overtones (harmonics). That will result in a muddy sound. It is supposed to add depth and fundamentals to the other speakers in your system. It does that very well, especially considering its size and power rating. Perfect for the power supplied by the head unit amplifier. If you have additional power amps, and high end speakers, this unit will not compete. It is not designed to. Those who claim that it lacks definition in the bass, are obviously in search of a woofer (with overtones) not a subwoofer (without overtones). The size is amazingly small. It fits under the front seat with no problem. Wiring was a breeze. As I said, along with my factory (infinity) speakers powered by the JVC head unit, this sub does exactly what it should. And at a very agreeable price. Thanks and kudos to JVC and to Crutchfield.
Great for tight spaces Written By Guy, Panama City FL on Tuesday, March 20, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed by local installer in '02 Honda CR-V with JVC KD-SX990 (originally purchased here in 2001). I picked the BB2 because I lose a lot of bass to highway road noise, but didn't want to give up any cargo space to a large subwoofer box and a separate amp. The BB2 was mounted under the front passenger seat (the same spot that Honda installs their sub). The wired remote is mounted in the slot under the 990 head unit. Set your head unit's bass flat before turning everything on. Otherwise, bass is boomy & distorted. It's great that I have decent fill-in bass without losing any space in the car. I don't need a thumper -- I'm not 19 and I don't listen to hip-hop -- so this compact unit fits my needs. Still, it could be better. The bass still isn't crisp. Another reviewer said the crossover should be moved down from 110 Hz to 80 Hz, and I agree. It would have been nice if the BB2 had an adjustable crossover. It's possible to use an EQ box to shape the sound, but that means shelling out more money & finding a spot to put the gear. The wired remote is designed such that the center point is 0 dB. Why isn't 0 at the low end? I'm having a bit of trouble finding a 'sweet spot' between the center point and the high point, especially if I need to change it for particular music types. You definitely don't want to turn it all the way up! I'm still experimenting, and may end up lowering the 990's bass a couple of notches to see if that helps. Regardless, this is a decent piece of kit and the price is good. It's a case of having reasonable expectations.
Very Pleased! Written By Tim, Boston on Friday, March 16, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Realatively simple installation under the passenger seat of my Subaru Forester. I had only hoped to fill in the missing low end but this little package really has some punch (you will definitely feel this unit!). Actually more than I expected from its size. I connected this to a Kenwood KDC-X491 via RCA sub out. I could not be happier with the sound. Thanks Crutchfield for stocking quality. I never would have know there was a stand-alone powered subwoofer that could fit my car. Really awesome. Thanks.
Nice bass in a tiny package Written By mistertwobanger, Orange County, CA on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This JVC subwoofer will be your best choice if under the seat is all the space you got for a subwoofer. When fed a flat signal (white noise), this sub will be pathetic in producing anything under the neighborhood of 80 hz. It will however be overly loud around its crossover point of 110 hz. As a result, your music will just sound weird. A wonderful solution would be to move the crossover point down to about 80 hz, cut the bass control on your head unit by a few db from flat and somehow boost 50 - 60 hz by a few db. The sub's response will now be terrific. Of course, you will need a passive equalizer with an adjustable subwoofer crossover to do all this. I have my JVC installed under the passenger's seat in a 94 Honda Accord Wagon. Looks like the Kenwood KSC-SW1 will fit as well, but hey, the JVC costs 100 bucks less right now. The JVC is hooked up to the factory head unit via a line level converter and a Kenwood 5 band EQ. The bass in this set up won't knock you off your feet but it will put a smile on your face because it will produce bass your door speakers would never dream of. Remember, a lower crossover point and a few extra db around 50 hz will make a world of difference. Without the EQ, the JVC will not show its full potential.
Great speaker at a great price Written By Alan, Florence, NJ on Friday, February 23, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was looking for something that wouldn't take up much room but at the same time would bring out the bass that was lurking in my Kenwood HU. At the same time I was ordering a cable to connect my new ipod to the system. The JVC was reasonably easy to install and it fits like a glove under the drivers seat in my 01 Trooper. The sound is absolutely awesome! I have the bass on the HU set at -2 and use the unit remote to set the level, but it's a set it and forget it thing anyway. Looking for nice tight bass in a nice tight package? This is the speaker for you!
WOW! Super bass in a little package Written By Jason, Hartford, Connecticut on Friday, January 19, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Deep rich bass in a small package! It won't shatter windows or draw attention to you from 3 blocks away but it will definately bring out the full range of your music. Installed in a 2003 Subaru legacy sedan, it fits perfectly inder the seat without interfearing with the seat adjustments. You'll hear and feel the lows and drum beats throughout the passenger compartment. The wired remote is handy for quick adjustments. Exceptional value and customer service as this unit was purchased via the Crutchfield outlet. If you want decent bass but don't have a lot of room or cash to install a large subwoofer, the JVC CS-BB2 is for you!
Fills a niche Written By Joe, Lawrenceville, GA on Saturday, January 06, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If your looking for a deep, thundering sub, this unit is not for you. If your vehicle is space constrained and you are looking to fill in the low end frequency "gap", then you should consider this JVC unit. The unit installs easily enough under most seats. We are driving the sub with the JVC KD-DV6200 DVD Receiver. It was necessary to set the receiver's sub output at level "1" to prevent distortion. Even at this setting, the sub nicely fills the Honda Odyssey with the low frequencies missing from the in door/in panel speakers. With realistic expectations, you will appreciate this sub.
Awesome unit Written By Kenith, Statesboro, GA on Friday, December 29, 2006 I attatched the unit to the back seat of my small-cabbed 1992nissan pick-up and was simply amazed at the bass output. The unit is very useful because i have no room for a box and amp and subs and i found that it sounds good when you are in the car and not noticable outside so say goodbye to the noise tickets!To get the best all around sound turn your bass on your radio all the way down and the unit all the way up and there is no distortion of sound. Another problem you might encounter is that if turned up all the way for too ong the unit gets very hot. but all around i highly reccomend this for cramped space and I plan on getting another one to mount on the seat too so that it sounds even better.(run this unit with a bass test song and you will be amazed)
02 Jeep Wrangler Install Written By AlK, Columbus, OH on Sunday, November 12, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I mounted the unit under the back seat of my 02 Jeep Wrangler. It is plenty powerful for the interior of the Jeep, and I'm still tweaking it some. But, so far it seems to produce a very respectible rumble of bass, especially for such a small unit.Only complaint is that you threw me a curve on the wiring harness. The blue acc wire is broken somewhere (verified with my multimeter). I wired the power with an "Add a Line" fused connection to my back windshield wiper circuit (which is only powered when the ignition key is on) and spliced the blue and yellow wires on the harness right in front of the connector. Problem solved, but still worth mentioning. And, actually this is a little more trick wired like this, because the manual says the sub will run the battery dead without the engine running. And, this way my sub is off when I'm listening with the engine off.
Easy Install/Decent Sound Written By Wes, Richmond Virginia on Tuesday, November 07, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Own a truck and wanted to keep the back jump seats for passengers. I have looked for a small compact subwoofer that will fit under my seat. I have just a simple Panasonic head unit with some infinity 6x9 door speakers. The JVC CS-BB2 was able to fit under my passenger seat with little or no problems! The included wiring harness was clearly labeled and the 9 foot cord reached fine. Also the included variable bass control was useful to adjust based on volume level. The JVC added full sound to what I currently own without costing me hundreds of dollars. While it is not a 10' or 12' it does provide a well-rounded sound to what I currently have. The install was also a snap!
Unbelievable for such a small component Written By Brad, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL on Saturday, October 14, 2006 I mounted this under the rear seat of my 1985 Jeep CJ7 to fill the gap in such an open vehicle. It pumps out the bass to feel the music sitting at a stop light or cruising on the highway. I highly recommend this sub when you do not want to lose any room in your vehicle.This sub will vibrate the vehicle, so make sure you use auto-weather stripping or dynomat to reduce vibration.
Dynamite in a small package Written By William, Nebraska on Thursday, September 14, 2006 I wanted a powered sub to mount under the drivers seat of a 1985 full-size Chevy K5 Blazer, because I didnt want to lose any cargo space to sub boxes, didnt want to cut holes in the trim panels, and didnt want any audio equipment (other than the head unit) which didnt look stock to any potential smash and grabbers that looked in the windows.This sub was more than small enough, but I really didnt expect much from something this small, just a little low end boost. My other speakers are Kenwood KFC-415 4x10s behind the stock rear grilles way in the backand a pair of 100Hz bass-blocked Infinity 3012cf 3-1/2s in the stock dash location. Bass was lacking in that big, noisy truckish SUV, and the 4x10 Kenwoods needed some help with the low end. The head unit is a JVC KD-HDR1, so the decks line-level sub outputs were used, so the corded sub level control was not needed, and stayed in the box.Right after the sub was installed, I put in Pink Floyds Animals, and turned up the volume. The sub was a little overpowering, and the bass was distorted, boomy and "loose". Not at all good. The JVC deck has 2.5V max sub output voltage, and this little subs literature recommends only 2.0V max, so I looked at the head units sub volume level. It was set to the default "6" (range 0-8), so no wonder it was distorted and boomy. I dropped it down to "4" - the bass tightened up nicely, the boominess went away, and it sounds very good for a teeny 6" subwoofer.Pink Floyd sounded great, The Who sounded great, as did Handel and Vivaldi. I dont do hip-hop or rap, so didnt care to even give either a listen with this sub.A wider variety of mounting hardware would have been ni
Not impressed with the bass out of this little unit at all. Written By Chris, Bethlehem, PA on Thursday, September 07, 2006 I just traded in a Subaru LL Bean 2005 for a 4runner. My subaru had what I considered a great system for separating out the highs/lows. Only had a little bass/sub under the passenger seat. So I thought I would try this JVC as I thought it might have been as good as my one in the Subaru.It did't come close to that quality at all, I liked its size becuase it would fit under the seat but after two weeks I gave up on it. It gives more of a 'thud' than a real bass note and would not reccomend spending money on this item.I ended up putting an amp where the unit was under the seat and went with a 10" sub in the cargo area in a box, so much better!I am not someone who cranks the bass really high so that you hear me comming down the street but do appreciate a really great system with great definition of sound.I matched the sub with infinity components which I would highly reccomend!
Power wire Written By Raymond, Queens NY on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this unit for some more bass & limited space, a mini van.Note- My head unit and all four speakers are all JVC (no big deal)The subwoofer is bolted on wood, then bolted to the none moving part Of the power seat with some sponge under the wood, the subwoofer sound Very good to me and, I use the remote too. Now the wires, the power wireFor me it's too short, from the battery to inside the car not long enough.Anyway I got it to reach. I think it's a very good unit, other than theWire been too short (for me) I give it four stars only because of the power wire.
Be realistic about this sub, it's a 6 Written By ben, NJ on Friday, July 28, 2006 As I already said this is a 6" sub with 65 watts rms. You have to be realistic about your expectations. I put 2 of these in a 2006 pathfinder, one under each front seat. They sound a little boomy and they don't play very loud. I control the volume through the alpine head unit. They sound better at a lower volume where they blend into the rest of the music. I had an Infinity Bass link, round speaker, not the square one and it definetly put out alot more bass then 2 of these, but the Infinity does not fit under the seats.
If you own a Wrangler you'll want this! Written By Jim, Seattle, WA on Wednesday, July 12, 2006 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) It's small and it sounds great. I have a 99' Wrangler and I've been looking for a self-powered sub to hide under one of the front seats. This fits perfect. I added 1" spacers under both seats and mounted the unit under the driver seat. The spacers allow the seat to move freely over the sub. This is a great way to enhance the sound of your in-dash and overhead sound bar. Even with the top and doors off you can clearly hear and feel the bass. I'm not one for mirror rattling bass so it perfect for me. But on occasion, I catch some rear view mirror movement. You won't be disappointed!
JVC CS-BB2 Written By jctrieu, San Jose, CA on Friday, July 07, 2006 Pro's: - Nice size, very compact, goes just about anywhere - Easy hook-up, very straight forward - Attractive and solidly build - Good fill for small spaces (like in the back of an extended cab of a truck) - All in one package, no external amps requiredCon's: - Average sound quality (a little too boomy), distort at high volume - Weak bass output (rock music ok, Hip-Hop not ok) - Limited user adjustment - Price a little high for what you getSummery: Buy this unit if you want to save space. If you're not one to wake the dead with your music, then this sub may surfice if you install it in a relatively small space (i.e. in a Mini Cooper or Metro). Otherwise, consider another brand.

Banning or restricting the use of certain types of fishing gear could help the world's coral reefs and their fish populations survive the onslaughts of climate change according to a study by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and other groups.
The international team of scientists has proposed that bans on fishing gear - like spear guns, fish traps, and beach seine nets could aid in the recovery of reefs and fish populations hard hit by coral bleaching events.
Around the world corals have been dying at alarming rates, due to unusually warm water events resulting from global warming.
Research carried out in Kenya and Papua New Guinea has shown that certain types of gear are more damaging to corals, to coral-dependent fish and to the key species of fish that are needed to help reefs recover from bleaching or storm damage.
"This is creating a double jeopardy for both the corals and certain types of reef fish. They are already on the edge because of overfishing and the additional impact caused by a bleaching can push them over" Dr Cinner explains. The result can be an accelerated decline of the reef, its fish populations and their ability to sustain local people.
"From an ecological perspective, the best response to bleaching is to close reefs to fishing entirely. But that is not feasible everywhere and is a particularly hard sell among the impoverished fishers in developing countries" says co-author Dr. Tim McClanahan of the Wildlife Conservation Society. "In areas where fishery closures are impractical, managers don't have many options and haven't been able to do much but watch the reef die and often not recover."
"Selective gear restrictions offer reef managers and fishers alike some middle ground, reducing pressure on the reef and its fish while it is in the recovery phase, while also providing fishers with some options for

The History of Atari @ Gamasutra
November 7th, 2007, 15:40
Our interest in Atari comes mostly from their modern relationship with D&D, so this article detailing the early history of the real/original Atari is off topic but fascinating. In a lengthy 20 pages, Gamasutra looks at 1971 - 1977:
Instead, it hit them one day to go in the opposite direction and simplify their design to cut costs as much as possible. The pair decided that they did not need thousands of dollars in hardware to make their dream come to life, instead choosing a much simpler solution. They crafted a working game using TTL (Transistor To Transistor Logic)vii to create a computer whose sole purpose was to play Computer Space. While this might have seemed like a step-back technology wise, it was a huge leap forward for creating a commercial game. With a black and white G.E. TV and $100 worth of electronic parts, they created the first viable, commercial video game.More information.
I worked it out and the economics were overwhelming."viii - Nolan Bushnell
This seemingly simple decision towards simplification fueled the entire video game industry for most of the 1970s.

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Nairobi is £53 per night.
zaksame On my past visits to Nairobi my colleagues insisted on staying in one of the 'Big Name' hotels which I found to be soul-less with good service but not exactly what you might call homely.... And then I found the Wildebeest Camp. I could gush on all day about the wonderful tents; the fantastic people I've met there and had really invigorating conversations with; the wonderfully helpful and discreet staff; the beauty of the place; the proximity to the city centre; the overall relaxed atmosphere and of course barney - the dog who looks like Scooby Doo. It was like home away from home. NO! Scratch that, my home is not even close to how cool the Wildebeest camp is. Don't miss it. Really! Brendan (Ireland)
VincentU Good value, friendly and homely. Easy access to airport and central locations. Would definitely stay again.
markwroger It is a bit out of town, but great for the price. The owner is very friendly, and the house is very nice. It is secure and hospitable, but just not easy to get to Nairobi. Otherwise it is a great place.

Palazzolo v. Rhode Island
Justice Breyer, dissenting.
I agree with Justice Ginsburg that Palazzolo's takings claim is not ripe for adjudication, and I join her opinion in full. Ordinarily I would go no further. But because the Court holds the takings claim to be ripe and goes on to address some important issues of substantive takings law, I add that, given this Court's precedents, I would agree with Justice O'Connor that the simple fact that a piece of property has changed hands (for example, by inheritance) does not always and automatically bar a takings claim. Here, for example, without in any way suggesting that Palazzolo has any valid takings claim, I believe his postregulatory acquisition of the property (through automatic operation of law) by itself should not prove dispositive.
As Justice O'Connor explains, under Penn Central Transp. Co. v. New York City, 438 U.S. 104 (1978), much depends upon whether, or how, the timing and circumstances of a change of ownership affect whatever reasonable investment-backed expectations might otherwise exist. Ordinarily, such expectations will diminish in force and significance-rapidly and dramatically-as property continues to change hands over time. I believe that such factors can adequately be taken into account within the Penn Central framework.
Several amici have warned that to allow complete regulatory takings claims, see Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003 (1992), to survive changes in land ownership could allow property owners to manufacture such claims by strategically transferring property until only a nonusable portion remains. See, e.g., Brief for Daniel W. Bromley et al. as Amici Curiae 7-8. But I do not see how a constitutional provision concerned with " 'fairness and justice,' " Penn Central, supra, at 123-124 (quoting Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40, 49 (1960)), could reward any such strategic behavior.

Preview: The Flyers have struggled out of the gate and they are one of many teams looking to find consistency in this abbreviated season. They followed up their victory over the Rangers last week with an absolute destruction of the Florida Panthers, whom they beat 7-1. One night later they got lit up in Tampa 5-1.
Other than their dominant win over the Panthers, the Flyers have given up at least one goal on the penalty kill every game this season. The Rangers need to capitalize on this and start banging away pucks on those 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s. Though, I'm confident the Rangers can turn around their PP misfortunes. I mean hey, even the Red Wings and Kings can't score on the PP. It's still early.
As for the Flyers on ice strategy, Laviolette throws two different looks at the opposition. The first look is the 2-1-2 forecheck, which the Rangers utilize as well. This is an aggressive system designed to create pressure below the dots and cause turnovers down low.
Once the Flyers get a lead, they tend to switch to a more conservative 2-3 left wing lock. This system also sends two forecheckers into the zone, but the third forward sits back with the defense up high. This ensures protection against odd man rushes, but also provides some pressure to create turnovers. Since the two teams play a similar system, the Rangers need their defensemen to time their pinches well and keep the puck in Philadelphia's endzone.
Fun Fact: Flyers coach Peter Laviolette addresses his team in the locker room after each game. John Tortorella does not.
Crazy Thought: It's a power play goal!

Title: | Utilizing symmetry in evolutionary design |
Author: | Valsalam, Vinod K. |
Abstract: | Can symmetry be utilized as a design principle to constrain evolutionary search, making it more effective? This dissertation aims to show that this is indeed the case, in two ways. First, an approach called ENSO is developed to evolve modular neural network controllers for simulated multilegged robots. Inspired by how symmetric organisms have evolved in nature, ENSO utilizes group theory to break symmetry systematically, constraining evolution to explore promising regions of the search space. As a result, it evolves effective controllers even when the appropriate symmetry constraints are difficult to design by hand. The controllers perform equally well when transferred from simulation to a physical robot. Second, the same principle is used to evolve minimal-size sorting networks. In this different domain, a different instantiation of the same principle is effective: building the desired symmetry step-by-step. This approach is more scalable than previous methods and finds smaller networks, thereby demonstrating that the principle is general. Thus, evolutionary search that utilizes symmetry constraints is shown to be effective in a range of challenging applications. |

PORTLAND – From the chronically homeless who refuse help to roving bands of young gypsies during the summer, the city is looking to get creative in how it deals with bad behavior downtown.
Those behaviors – public urination, public drinking, daytime drug deals and profanity – were the subject of meeting Wednesday of the Creative Portland Corp., a nonprofit group focused on improving the creative economy.
"My concern about this is the public experience on Congress Street is deteriorating from a subjective point of view," said board chairman Andy Graham. "The sense is last summer it felt more dangerous. It felt more combative."
The problem of unruly behavior is being discussed as City Council subcommittees are poised to address task force's recommendations to prevent and end homelessness in Portland, which include providing more housing for chronically homeless and a greater emphasis on casework, among others.
The report comes against a backdrop of proposed cuts for general assistance.
"GA programs are the closest to a real safety net and those are being very dramatically attacked up in Augusta," said Mark Swann, executive director of Preble Street Resource Center.
Last week, Mayor Michael Brennan expressed concern that if the state institutes a proposed $10.1 million cap on GA, Portland could see an increased in demand for services.
Representatives from the Portland Downtown District, a business advocacy group, and the Preble Street, a nonprofit social services group, told members of Creative Portland on Wednesday about current efforts to address unruly behavior.
The Downtown District helps fund the HOME team, a proactive outreach group that tries to help chronically homeless people from Longfellow Square to Monument Square get the services they need.
Preble Street, meanwhile, has an outreach group focused on homeless youths. Also, last summer, two police cadets were hired to walk a foot patrol downtown.
Despite those efforts, unruly behavior – whether caused by homeless people or the groups of young people who travel to Portland to hang out in Tommy's and Post Office parks – seems to be rising.
"For those of use who live and work in the city, it's become more of a challenge to be in our downtown," Graham said.
Janis Beitzer, executive director of the Portland Downtown District, told board members their input would be valuable as the city begins implementing the homelessness task force's recommendations.
She said providing housing to the chronic homeless works, but it should be provided throughout neighborhoods rather than the task force-recommended complexes.
The zoning code should be changed to allow homeless shelters in areas besides downtown and Bayside, she said.
Businesses leaders would like the city to reconsider a ban on panhandling in street medians, which was shot down last amid opposition from homeless advocates.
"It's not a freedom of speech issue," she said. "The issue here is you should be giving your money to services that help people, as opposed to enabling people to live on the street."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel Today has learned that Fuad Nabil Ayyad, a Christian resident of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, was abducted in Gaza City about a week ago by Muslim assailants. The report was later confirmed by independent Arab Christian sources.
Fuad is a relative of Rami Ayyad, an employee of the Gaza Bible Society and by all accounts an enthusiastic witness for the Lord who was brutally executed last year by Muslim forces that intend to impose strict Islamic law on Gaza.
Palestinian Arab Christians have been experiencing increased persecution since the introduction of the Palestinian Authority into Judea, Samaria and Gaza in 1993. However, the suffering has mushroomed since Hamas militarily seized control of Gaza last year and opened the area up to the kind of Islamic oppression so common throughout the region.
In related news, a Palestinian newspaper reported last week that Muslims in the Samarian town of Nablus had vandalized a local Christian cemetery, smashing many of the tombstones.

University of Louisville quarterback Adam Froman is showing signs that he's settled into the position - regardless of whether he's officially the starter.
Froman has made three straight starts as the Cardinals' quarterback since Justin Burke was sidelined with a bruised sternum. Against Connecticut on Saturday, the junior-college transfer had his best performance of the season, completing 24 of 31 passes for 295 yards.
"It gets better every single time that you're out there," Froman said. "Just more comfortable. Things slow down a bit, and you try to take it play by play." ...

Five graduating high school seniors with no prospects decide to make an outrageous comedy movie, with the hope of getting famous and escaping their depressing town. Their leader and director, LeBron, is so confident the movie will be a big hit, he gets some geeky freshmen to follow him around with video cameras to record the "making of." But, by accident, the cameras begin to capture glimpses of LeBron and his friends' actual lives, which are full of drama, and much more compelling than the silly movie they set out to make.

WE'VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
They always put the good stuff at the bottom of the article: Around noon, Sen. Coleman put in an urgent call to Rybak. Smith pulled Rybak out of an open house meeting with constituents to give him the news: The RNC had chosen Minneapolis/St. Paul. At 1:15 p.m. Ryak called Dean. "He told me to please hold off," Rybak said. "I told him I could wait maybe an hour, but I reminded him we had promised it to whoever came in first." By 2 p.m., Dean called back. "He said, 'We're not ready to make a decision,' " Rybak said. The official word came around 3 p.m. local time, prompting a bipartisan crowd at Xcel Energy Center to erupt into cheers. The GOP was coming; the Democrats would have to look elsewhere. "We were in very aggressive conversations with them up to and including about three hours ago," Rybak said of the Democrats at a news conference. He added: "I spoke with Governor Dean twice today. They were planning to make a decision I believe very, very shortly. The Republicans moved first."By Wednesday, the race had come down to the wire. National Democrats were to meet on Friday in New York to make their pick. National Republicans had already closed in on the Twin Cities.
More from the AP:Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, a Democrat, were still trading phone calls at lunchtime Wednesday, just before news broke that the Republicans picked the Twin Cities for their 2008 convention.
I take three things from this. First, the Democrats may have wanted to pick St. Paul as their site for the 2008 convention, but they couldn't make a decision in 45 minutes, and, even if they did, the GOP did announce first.
Second, were the Democrats going to meet on Friday and pick St. Paul? Seems pretty clear the decision leaked, and the GOP then decided to announce first and get first dibs on St. Paul. If so, the GOP won this battle.
And finally, are the Democrats still meeting on Friday to make a decision? Probably not, as there is no time pressure now.

Archive/File: fascism/bc victoria.0794 Last-Modified: 1994/07/17 Victoria Times-Colonist July 12, 1994, p. B1 Racist tie suspected in anti-abortion blitz By Carla Wilson, Times-Colonist Staff Anti-abortion materials apparently connected to a white supremacist organization are showing up downtown and at UVic. Posters plastered on the outside of Everywomans Books on Johnson Street bear the same Victoria post office box address as anti-abortion pamphlets and a racist sticker found at the university. Although all share a common address, only the UVic materials state they are from an organization called the Canadian Front. The bookstore's glass windows and door were plastered with 27 crude black-and-white posters and cartoons on Monday morning, marking the third time since June the shop has been targeted with anti-abortion posters. A CAnadian Front sticker stating, "White unity, white survival," was found Monday at UVic's student union building, said a student society director. A swastika and an SS logo were on the sticker. The sticker is similar to ones found by others downtown, he said. The Canadian Front is also listed on stacks of anti-abortion pamphlets found in two newspaper boxes at UVic's student union building Monday, he said. ... In the past few months, white supremacist materials with a Nebraska address have shown up on Oak Bay Avenue near Pandora Avenue, Peters said. [balance deleted]

Key Features
· Shows the reader exactly how to perform modern bioanalytical sample preparation techniques, complete with detailed strategies
· Thorough literature review and summary of published information
· Detailed discussion and examples of the method development process
High Throughput Bioanalytical Sample Preparation: Methods and Automation Strategies is an authoritative reference on the current state-of-the-art in sample preparation techniques for bioanalysis. This book focuses on high throughput (rapid productivity) techniques and describes exactly how to perform and automate these methodologies, including useful strategies for method development and optimization. A thorough review of the literature is included within each of these chapters describing high throughput sample preparation techniques: protein removal by precipitation; equilibrium dialysis and ultrafiltration; liquid-liquid extraction; solid-phase extraction; and various on-line techniques.
The text begins with an introductory overview of the role of bioanalysis in pharmaceutical drug development. Fundamental understanding of the strategies for sample preparation is reinforced next, along with essential concepts in extraction chemistry. Several chapters introduce and discuss microplates, accessory products and automation devices. Particular strategies for efficient use of automation within a bioanalytical laboratory are also presented. The subject material then reviews protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction and various on-line sample preparation approaches. The book concludes with information on recent advances in sample preparation, such as solid-phase extraction in a card format and higher density extraction plates.
Important objectives that can be accomplished when the strategies presented in this book are followed include: improved efficiency in moving discovery compounds to preclinical status with robust analytical methods; return on investment in automation for sample preparation; and improved knowledge and expertise of laboratory staff.
Researchers in pharmaceutical drug development, drug analysis and related clinical chemistry disciplines for therapeutic drug monitoring, and forensic scientists who perform bioanalytical sample preparation.
