Urbanears' Bagis earbuds don't wow you acoustically, but at least they'll coordinate with your ensemble thanks to their wide array of Rainbow Brite hues.
Urbanears Bagis
Wide color availability means these buds can be as aesthetically brash — or discrete — as you'd like. Clever plastic snap secures the earpieces together.
Crappy audio quality isn't that much better than your iCruds.
These are traditional earbuds, not in-ear monitors. The design offers enough noise reduction that I was able to listen at a comfortable volume on my daily bus commute while still being able to hear when my stop was announced. Also, the backs of the earpieces snap together, a simple, functional addition that makes them easier to carry — just snap the earpieces together and wear them around your neck. It's also especially useful when you run into a friend mid-workout and want to chat for a minute without holding the buds or stowing them away.
Like most cheap earbuds, the bass in these guys is virtually non-existent. Mids and highs are decent, but overall, the sound quality lacks the fullness and clarity other buds under $50 were able to produce.
The Bagis buds have an inline mic and one-button remote for pausing and un-pausing music and taking calls, but no included volume controls. The call quality is definitely reduced when talking with these — the person on the other end sounds canned, and high-frequency interference is more pronounced. At least they're a bit clearer than Apple's standard white earbuds.

Towards a solution providing QoS in ad hoc networks

One of the challenges that must be overcome to realize the practical benefits of ad hoc networks is quality of service (QoS). However, the IEEE 802.11 standard, which undeniably is the most widespread wireless technology of choice for WLANs and ad hoc networks, does not address this issue. In order to support applications with QoS requirements the upcoming IEEE 802.11e standard enhances the original IEEE 802.11 MAC layer by introducing a new coordination function which has both contention-based and contention-free medium access methods. However, the new coordination function cannot be used to provide QoS guarantees in ad hoc networks. We propose an extension to IEEE 802.11e which makes use of the advantages of the two medium access methods and integrates them in order to provide QoS guarantees in ad hoc networks. Our solution is fully distributed and gives stations with high-priority traffic an opportunity to reserve medium time.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of plasma renin activity-guided therapy for determining hypertension treatment. Plasma renin is an enzyme in your blood that can be measured to determine your hypertension subtype. Once the subtype is known, doctors can prescribe specific medications to target your specific hypertension subtype. This study will investigate whether targeting the specific hypertension subtype helps to achieve blood pressure control sooner and with fewer medications compared to a standard fixed dose combination therapy.
Condition | Intervention |

2G Ford alternator, strange socket
Hey guys,
Please help me with this strange (Ford ) problem: I want to install this 2G in place of a 1G alternator, the problem is that the socket didn't come with the light gree/red wire in the expected "I" position, rather it came in the "S" position where a white/black wire should be, and the hole for the "I" connection is factory plugged. This alternator was running in a E350 van, I pulled it myself, it's factory wired this way. My question now is, how do I wire it? the van is gone and there's no way to go and follow the wires now. I believe it didn't have an idiot light on the dash so the "I" connection is not necesary for the van, but how do I wire it on my Granada now? I have some pics, please take a look.
Sponsored Links | |||
yes thanks, but those are the diagramas I already have, my problem is my alternator does not have a wire in the "I" terminal, the one that should go to the switched when hot, instead has the green wire connected to the "S" terminal, where a white/black wire should jump to the other "S" terminal.
is this some sort of "one wire" factory connection? |
nope, 4.9 six

IT architecture-based confidentiality risk assessment in networks of organizations
Morali, Ayse (2011) IT architecture-based confidentiality risk assessment in networks of organizations. thesis.
Abstract: | Today almost every organization benefits from business opportunities created by
digitalization. Digitalization allows, among others, to develop software products on shared platforms, to remotely access and alter patient records or remotely control power generators. This change in the technical environment has triggered changes in the legal environment, and introduced new compliance requirements. Consequently, protecting the confidentiality of digital information assets has become a major concern for many organizations. This concern is even bigger for organizations that connect their IT system with other organizations to reduce costs. Risk assessment methodologies provide stakeholders with sound knowledge on security risks that threaten the business. A risk assessment method should satisfy three conflicting requirements: accuracy, cost-efficiency, and inter-subjectivity. These three requirements form the dilemma of confidentiality risk assessment methods. Accuracy has to do with the level of granularity that a method allows when assessing the risk. Cost-efficiency is the crucial real limitation of all risk assessment methods. In practice, even risk assessments of large and information-intensive company sections rarely last longer than two weeks. The third requirement we look at in this dissertation is intersubjectivity. Nowadays, despite the large use of standardized methods, the very result of a risk assessment is largely subjective, in the sense that other assessors may assess risks differently. This lack of inter-subjectivity means that risk assessments are difficult to replicate and risk assessment results are not comparable. |

The brand strategy firm CoreBrand just released its rankings of the world's 100 most powerful brands.
Despite reports that consumers are getting tired of Apple's advertising, the company was the only tech brand to make the top 10, climbing six spots from their 2013 ranking.
Apple — not the top brand — was joined on the list by four food-and-drink brands, a financial services company, a media giant, two medical and chemical companies, and America's motorcycle king. The biggest upward mover on the list was Amazon, which cracked the top 100 for the first time by jumping 25 spots to No. 91.
CoreBrand determined its rankings through surveys of 10,000 business executives at 1,000 companies over the past five years, measuring how familiar people were with various brands and how favorably they viewed them.
10. Apple
Apple jumped six spots from last year and has jumped 65 spots from its 2009 position at No. 75.
9. Kellogg
Kellogg took the biggest tumble out of last year's top 10, dropping four slots from No. 5.
8. American Express
Powered by its popular Small Business Saturday campaign and collaborations with popular celebrities like Jay Z, American Express climbed two places this year.

Mad Men is known for its retro references, but the premiere of season seven had us feeling nostalgic for a different era: the '90s. Neve Campbell, famous for Scream and Party of Five, popped up as a potential love interest for Don Draper. She's not the first actor familiar to many of us millennials from our childhood to get a part on AMC's 1960s period drama. Show creator Matthew Weiner recently shed light on the casting, telling the New York Times, "I want to give people the chance to be seen in a new light." And indeed he does. Since guest appearance are never announced by the network, the surprise cameos have definitely become a fun part of watching, and some have turned into more regular roles. Let's take a look our favorites.

HWRoundup 3dfx and Nvidia PCI punch-up
Meet Asus' A7Pro mobo - the A7V lite
At Viahardware Buck has put the 3dfx Voodoo 4 PCI up against Nvidia's MX PCI in a PCI budget card punch-up. It's billed as a young gun versus the wise master kind of thing. Uncle Buck reckons the "GeForce2 MX PCI would most likely scale better than the Voodoo4 4500 PCI with faster CPU's. However the Voodoo4 4500 PCI can do Glide, something that the GeForce obviously lacks at."
PC Review is quite excited about the new Asus A7Pro Motherboard, which they call the 'lite' version of the A7V. It says the board features the same overclockers dream tool, the multiplier dipswitch function, but no ATA 100 Controller. In summary "this board is exactly the same, just cheaper!" Check it out
Over at
Sharkythey've had a peek at the MSI K7T Pro mobo. They like the price, the stability, the fuzzy logic for overclocking, and the inclusion of the ATA/100 card. Marks against were for having no USB bracket, and no multiplier adjustment. Overall and average board with a good price.
Overclockers.com are chillin' with a
reviewof a new radiator from Cool-Computers. This is what the fridge fella says: "It's small so fits nicely inside most cases and has a high flow rate, the disadvantage of course being the water spends less time being cooled. Anyway, it stacked up pretty well - I tested it against my own setup and the full Senfu kit, it came out on top!" ®

While I'm not a big fan of the race for the youngest... I do wish Laura a safe voyage and hope that she finishes without incident. Her voyage, unlike Abby's original intended voyage and Jessica's successful voyage is not a non-stop ordeal through the Southern Ocean, but a more moderately paced trip with planned stops and a less severe route.
Her choice of boat seems to be, at first glance, a bit better than Abby's but not as good as Jessica's IMHO. She appears to have a bit more familiarity with the boat and its systems than Abby did with Wild Eyes. It sounds like she may actually have more experience than Abby, which would be a good thing.

a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

The Red and the Black. Roasted Red Peppers, Black Quinoa and Allioli (with apologies to Stendhal)
Author Notes: This is a recipe I came up with as an appetizer while visiting some friends (one of whom I've turned into a quinoa obsessive---that would be his ugly salad plate). Here I'm doing the Catalan version of aioli, Catalonia being the next door neighbor to France's nether parts. Colman Andrews refers to allioli as the "Catalan Catsup" because it's used on everything you can think of. It's arguable which side of the frontier it originated on.
The food platform calls for grilled bell peppers and black quinoa. You can do this almost in your sleep, except that you shouldn't sleep while the peppers are on fire.
- pierino
Serves 4
stuffed peppers
- 4 red bell peppers
- 1 cup black quinoa
- 2 cups water or chicken stock
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
- 1 scallion
- Olive oil
- Grab your tongs and light your burners. Grill the peppers directly on your flaming range top or else outside over a wood grill. Either method works. Turn the peppers constantly while they are over the hot flames. When black all around drop them into a paper sack and seal up, or else into a large bowl which you can cover with plastic wrap.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet and set aside.
- Chop the scallion.
- When the peppers are cool enough to handle rub off the burnt black skin (it's okay if a little is left on---it looks sexy), stem and seed them .
- Cook the quinoa as usual using the 1 to 2 ratio, quinoa to liquid for about 15 minutes until cooked through.
- In a bowl mix cooked quinoa, pine nuts and scallions along with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- To plate up scoop the black quinoa mixture in to the pepper shells (it should be spilling out). Add a big smear of allioi to each plate.
- 5 (or more cloves of garlic)
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon fleur de del (or other sea salt)
- 1 cup arbequina olive oil* (or other light Spanish olive oil)
- Being a lazy sod I use a blender or food processor for this job.
- Begin by chopping the garlic and then mash it into a paste along with the salt in a mortar. Add that to the bottom of your blender along with the egg yolks.
- With the motor running drizzle in the arbequina oil until it becomes a mayonnaise you would recognize.
- *Note to cook, arbequinas are olives native to Catalonia and it's fairly easy to find imported oil made from them but I must add that arbequina oils are being produced in California now and I really like the intensity of flavor you get from them.

Yes, California Olive Ranch products from Oroville, CA are readily available here. In addition their arbequina oil I also like their "Miller's Blend."

Many Catalonians don't use, and protest strongly against the use of, egg yolk, or any other extra ingredient other than salt, in their allioli (which I've been told comes from the words for garlic and oil). ;o)

True, BUT in reality egg is the typical binder in Barcelona and pretty much everywhere in Catalan lands these days. Fascinating that this week's theme is so extremely regional (southern France, southeast Spain).

I was certain that you'd be the one to post a recipe with no egg. One needs a ton of garlic to get the emulsifying power of the yolk, however, at least in my experience. And I know that many Catalonians do use egg yolk, probably for that reason. ;o)

Also, I like your choice of the arbequina. The California ones in particular have a flavorful zing to them that really kicks an aioli up a notch. I use a lot of Spanish olive oil but always the CA arbequina for aioli. ;o)

Pikmin 3
What if this game had a time machine?

For a second there i thought you meant being able to visit the same level at different periods in time (so that the landscape changes), which i think would be quite cool if completely unnecessary and quite hard to implement in a game such as this. But yeah having a system like the WII reissues of Pikmin & Pikmin 2 would be rather beneficial if they do put in a timed format like the first. Inb4 "will they, won't they" put in a time format argument --- Black FC: 2666-8397-4718 Author of the Starfox Story on the Starfox Assault board. Check it out! Don't Fear the Reaper | |

I don't think it would be very difficult to implement, but it does sound cool and unnecessary. | |
It's definitely unnecessary but keeps the stress factor in of having to complete the game in time but makes you feel less penalized for one or twi days of error. | |
I would assume that f this game does have a limited number of days like the first game, you will have the option to go back to a previous day to try again. As mentioned, the Wii versions already had this feature. Why should players (especially new ones) have to (or, more importantly, want to) go through an entire game knowing that they can't possibly get a good ending because their lack of experience caused them to make a couple of unwise decisions at the beginning? I think that many people who played the first Pikmin for the first game maybe didn't figure out quite how the game would flow early enough. Consequently, they'd waste days trying to kill lots of enemies and grow an excessive number of pikmin rather than collect ship parts. Of course, we here all know that it's possible to collect the ship parts in way under 30 days. Like some other people here, I thought that this post was going to be about a time machine that allows players to visit the same area in different time periods. This could be really, really cool. But then again, it's also not really necessary. If they want prehistoric-looking creatures in a Pikmin game, they could just have them. No explanation is really needed. This reminds me of an old idea I had for Pikmin 3 before E3 2012. Some of you might remember me posting it. I was pondering the different things that could be set as a main collectable. Collecting fossils or bones could be really cool. If you're collecting bones, then maybe you get to see a model of the bones assembled once you have them all for a particular specimen. The problem is that it would probably get boring for most people after a while. Pikmin 2 had a wonderful variety of objects. Bones (aside from skulls) could start to all look the same eventually. |

Reviews Summary |
If you're looking for less bling and more brains in your hip-hop, well... - Alternative Press / Listener represents fundamental underground rap at its finest - Relix / It sinks deep and resonates in your body - Dusted / Very difficult to find flaws in this excellent piece of work - Insomniac |
Reviews | |
Atlanta-based emcee Listener is more fundamentally abstract and East Coast influenced than you might expect from the Dirty South. However, don't let his articulate flow fool you, as he's definitely representing his region to the fullest (his Southern drawl remains rightfully intact), further injecting the urban musical landscape with a much-needed dose of humility, eclecticism and intelligent introspection. On this, the mindful MC's first release, you won't find the wacky lyricism and off-pattern flow usually associated with underground hip-hop, nor will you encounter the clap-happy chit chatter and sugarcoated hooks found on commercial rap releases these days. Instead, Listener keeps his flows simple and makes his lyrics the highlight of the delivery. At times filled with convoluted intensity, always veering towards analytical contradictions, Listener is brutally honest, and his obtuse lyrics make most Down South party MCs sound even more childish than they already are. - Metro Pop |

The 25 Weirdest and Worst Novelty Onesies for Sale Online
I have mixed feelings about novelty onesies. The one my daughter is pictured in (at left) as a newborn was a gift from my friend Nichelle, and I loved it. It says, "Nobody puts baby in the corner." Get it? Dirty Dancing? It's a perfect novelty onesie because it's cute, clever and nostalgic, not to mention harmless. But you have to be careful when picking out novelty onesies for your baby – and especially for someone else's – because not all jokey prints are created equal.
Some novelty onesies are crassly funny ("I fart in elevators") and some are adorable (think screen prints of glittery kittens and cupcakes). But others are downright snarky ("My mom is prettier than your mom") and a bit too sexual for my taste. ("Boob man?" "Stud muffin?" Really? Your baby boy is a baller?)
If you think any of those are bad, though, I'll caution you that I spent hours searching the Internet for awful novelty onesies, and boy did I find plenty. Like The Stir's 5 T-Shirts You Should Never Ever Let Your Kid Wear to School, here are 25 onesies you should never, ever buy:

on the title to order - huge discounts Secrets of the Furious Five by Dan MacIntosh Secrets of the Furious Five is not a sequel to Kung Fu Panda, even though it's billed as "The next Kung Fu Panda adventure." Instead, it's a series of morality tales told by Po, voiced by Jack Black. Simply put, Dustin Hoffman's Shifu asks Po to teach martial arts skills to a class of impatient bunnies. The secret to Po's success is the way he teaches them what they need to know, rather simply providing only what they want to learn. The Furious Five are comprised of: Mantis, Viper, Crane, Tigress, and Monkey. But instead of detailing their various physical moves, Po illustrates how these warriors have learned to adapt necessary character traits, which are just as essential as skilled body motions. The Great Master Viper's daughter, Viper, was born without fangs, which is a severe handicap for snakes where the Poison Fang Technique is an essential warfare tool. But just as a blind person develops other advanced senses, such as heightened hearing, to overcompensate for his/her physical deficiency, Viper becomes a standout ribbon dancer. These ribbon handling skills come in handy when she ties up a bandit and saves her father's life. While Viper learns courage, Great Master Viper also gets a large dosage of tolerance in the same process. It's a little like the story of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, in that even the odd man out has a job he can do. Everyone can contribute, no matter their skill level. The story of Crane is probably funniest of the bunch, in that he sort of backed his way into the martial arts school. He went from the janitorial cleanup guy, to inadvertently passing a tryout. That's certainly the kind of thing that will give a guy confidence he never knew he had! Both Tigress and Monkey are shown learning how to develop better social skills. Tigress gains discipline when it become clear she doesn't know her own strength – so much so that she scares many around her. Monkey is like that kid who doesn't know when to stop kidding. But being humiliated himself teaches him the value of treating others with a whole lot more respect. Jack Black is one of the funniest men in Hollywood, and is also a star that knows how to make his humor particularly appealing to young people. But with Secrets of the Furious Five, he also reveals a gently humorous educational side, too. This talent is a secret no longer, however.

Today's poem is by Janice N. Harrington
Shaking the Grass
Evening, and all my ghosts come back to me
like red banty hens to catalpa limbs
and chicken-wired hutches, clucking, clucking,
and falling, at last, into their head-under-wing sleep.I think about the field of grass I lay in once,
between Omaha and Lincoln. It was summer, I think.
The air smelled green, and wands of windy green, a-sway,
a-sway, swayed over me. I lay on green sod
like a prairie snake letting the sun warm me.What does a girl think about alone
in a field of grass, beneath a sky as bright
as an Easter dress, beneath a green wind?Maybe I have not shaken the grass.
All is vanity.Maybe I never rose from that green field.
All is vanity.Maybe I did no more than swallow deep, deep breaths
and spill them out into story: all is vanity.Maybe I listened to the wind sighing and shivered,
spinning, awhirl amidst the bluestem
and green lashes: O my beloved! O my beloved!I lay in a field of grass once, and then went on.
Even the hollow my body made is gone.

JEFFERSON CITY — Challenging an incumbent Democratic governor in a key presidential swing state, Democrat Claire McCaskill thinks she has hit upon a winning message: If Democrats dump Gov. Bob Holden, she can help carry them to victory in the fall.
With Missouri's Aug. 3 party primaries drawing near, public opinion polls show McCaskill in a dead heat with Holden, and Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in a similarly close race against Republican President Bush.
So McCaskill, the state auditor, is pressing the issue of how Democrats can best win in November. Put simply: "I can help Sen. Kerry better than Gov. Holden," McCaskill said.
McCaskill is running against the odds. An incumbent governor hasn't lost a primary in the United State since 1994.
But should she prevail, her odds of winning the general election rise significantly. Of the 17 challengers who knocked off same-party incumbents since 1970, 12 went on to win the governor's office, according to research by Thad Beyle, a political scientist at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
As of right now, "it looks pretty tough for the governor" of Missouri, Beyle said.
Holden is putting up a vigorous defense by comparing himself to President Truman, Missouri's Democratic icon who won a stunning 1948 election by campaigning against a "do-nothing" Republican Congress. During a recent debate, Holden proclaimed himself "the governor that stood the test time" against Missouri's Republican-led Legislature.
Kerry has endorsed no one in Missouri's gubernatorial primary and hasn't visited the state since a June 3 speech at the Truman Presidential Library — an event that occurred just as Holden began running the first TV ads of the gubernatorial primary.
Kerry's campaign insists the Democratic infighting hasn't kept him away from Missouri; Kerry plans to come back as part of his 21-state swing after next week's Democratic National Convention. Yet the uncertainty of the gubernatorial primary has made campaigning in Missouri problematic for Democrats.
"We're looking forward to moving past the primary and having a (gubernatorial) nominee and getting to a point where there is solidarity behind the ticket," said Kerry's Missouri campaign spokesman, Michael Golden.
Holden, 54, and McCaskill, who turns 51 Saturday, share similar political roots.
Both won election to the Missouri House in 1982 and served six years before leaving public office. After working for Rep. Dick Gephardt, Holden won two terms as state treasurer and then narrowly captured the governorship in 2000. McCaskill served as a prosecutor before returning to state politics by winning two terms as state auditor.
But now their energies are turned against one another. Holden accuses McCaskill of political opportunism for taking campaign donations from businesses upset about Holden's opposition to concealed guns and his effort to close tax loopholes. McCaskill criticizes Holden for his $1 million inaugural party, frequent early-term jet trips, education funding cuts and Missouri's bumpy, potholed roads.
The primary battle could leave either candidate too wounded to win in November — or be of much help to Kerry, said Dave Robertson, a political scientist at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Even under an optimistic scenario for Democrats, a Holden victory may contribute little to Kerry's cause, but McCaskill could give Kerry a slight boost, he said.
"She won't have the baggage he would have," Robertson said, "and she has had a little bit of success reaching out to independent, suburban voters — I think of them as (Ross) Perot voters" who want government efficiency and no tax increases.
Holden has unsuccessfully called for tax increases on tobacco, casinos and wealthy Missourians to fund education and health care. McCaskill opposes tax increases, instead vowing to implement 100 of her money-saving audit recommendations in her first 100 days as governor.
A recent poll conducted for The Kansas City Star and KMBC-TV showed McCaskill with a 45 percent to 37 percent advantage in a hypothetical November matchup against Republican gubernatorial front-runner, Secretary of State Matt Blunt. In the same poll, Holden garnered 42 percent support against Blunt's 44 percent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
Seizing on that, McCaskill has enlisted former Gov. Roger Wilson to send a letter to fellow Democrats next week highlighting the national implications of the governor's race. In an interview, Wilson praised McCaskill's dynamic speaking ability — a contrast to Holden, whose speaking pace and tone rarely come off as forceful, even when his words are.
A Holden campaign spokesman said the best Democratic ticket would include the incumbent.
"I think Bob Holden's record of fighting for Democratic principles and the accomplishments he's had will complement (Kerry's) message better," said Holden spokesman Caleb Weaver. "There are a lot of similarities in the way these two men have approached their political life."

An Algorithm for Filtering Electrocardiograms to Improve Nonlinear Feature ExtractionMohammad Bahmanyar, Wamadeva Balachandran
This paper introduces an algorithm for removing high frequency noise components from electrocardiograms (ECGs) based on Savitzky-Golay finite duration impulse response (FIR) smoothing filter. The peaks of R waves and the points at which Q waves end and S waves start are detected for all beats. These points are used to separate the low amplitude parts of the ECG in each beat, which are most affected by high frequency noise. The Savitzky-Golay smoothing algorithm is then applied to these parts of the ECG and the resultant filtered signals are added back to their corresponding QRS parts. The effect of high frequency noise removal on nonlinear features such as largest Lyapunov exponent and minimum embedding dimension is also investigated. Performance of the filter has been compared with an equiripple low pass filter and wavelet de-noising.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's man's man
Jennifer Love Hewitt's boyfriend has a crush on Keith Urban.The 'Ghost Whisperer' actress has revealed her co-star lover Jamie Kennedy is a huge admirer of the country music star, whose wife is Nicole Kidman.
Jennifer said: "We do everything the same. We're very compatible in that way.
"He has a total man crush on Keith Urban! We were at the Academy of Country Music Awards and he's like, 'That guy's kind of hot,' and I'm like, 'I know!' "
Jennifer, who split from fiance Ross McCall in January, has known Jamie for years but recently realised she felt something more for him than just friendship.
She said: "We just make each other laugh and we're best friends. Even though we haven't been together for very long we are very much alike.
"The fact he is so hilarious is what makes this relationship work. When you're really funny, there's nothing really bad that can happen. He is a realist and I am a dreamer."
Jamie was attracted to 30-year-old Jennifer's sense of humour and admires her infinite kindness.
The 38-year-old actor gushed to People magazine: "We've known each other for a very long time and there's just something there. We've always had this mutual admiration society.
"She is the most generous and thoughtful person you'll ever meet. She's amazingly talented and people don't realise that she's incredibly funny too. She's a great person to be with."

It seems as though we were better off before the Fed, the FDIC, and the IMF. Interestingly the most benign period was the Gold Standard era from 1880 to 1913.

Since the global financial system was fairly open at this time, the implication is that globalization does not inevitably lead to crises.

Ariz. Man Arrested for Burning Tumbleweeds
COCONINO COUNTY, Ariz. --
Coconino County fire crews responded to a brush fire off Marys Drive in Doney Park on Wednesday afternoon.
Deputies tracked down Juan Williams, 28, who , they said, admitted to starting a fire on his land to burn off tumbleweeds.
Williams told investigators that after he started the fire, he walked back into his house to take a shower, leaving the fire unattended.
When Wililams came back outside, he discovered his neighbors' property on fire and called 911.
Firefighters contained the fire to half an acre.
Williams was arrested on a charge of reckless burning and booked into the Coconino County Detention Facility.
The Coconino County Sheriff's Office and Summit Fire Department would like to remind all residents that fire danger is ever present in the area even with the recent precipitation.

Tunable narrowband THz pulse generation in scalable large area photoconductive antennas |
Optics Express, Vol. 19, Issue 20, pp. 19114-19121 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1654 KB)
The generation and characterization of narrowband THz pulses by means of chirped pulse difference frequency generation in Auston-switch type photoconductive antennas is reported. Using optical pulses with energies in the range from 1 nJ to 1µJ, we generate THz pulses with up to 50 pJ in energy and electric field strengths on the order of 1 kV/cm. Two emitter concepts are investigated and circumvention of the fast saturation for small area excitation by scaling of the THz emitter is demonstrated.

Karsten Schmidt on computational design, etc.
08 October 2009Karsten Schmidt from Etapes on Vimeo.
"…he is actively exploring current possibilities at the intersection of design, art, software development and education and applying these in a variety of fields. A strong conceptual thinker and always striving for maximum creative freedom, Karsten's design approach is based on treating ideas as software at the heart, which in turn informs all other facets of each project."
Part of what he talks about here is blurring the boundaries between "technical" and "artistic" skill, and how that generally breaks down within the current hierarchy of the industry. As a programmer who enjoys (but doesn't have much opportunity to explore) code-driven creative design and animation, this speaks to me.

Is Novak the most perfect player (Open Era)?

I just don't see that in Novak's game and he is competing against two of the best players to exist in the Open Era!
His game is perfect for the way tennis has gone. He is equally outstanding off backhand and forehand drives, very powerful, consistent, accurate, and ability to control and do virtually anything with either. He now has a very good serve and return combo, outstanding return, and serve that is a weapon again. He is equally good at offense and defense, and adapt at turning defense into offense. He now is one of the fittest players in recent years after it being a liability previously, and one of the mentally fittest as well which was also iffy before. So for the modern game his game is pretty much impossible to attack. The things he isnt so strong at, transition game to the net, volleying, finesse shots, slices, arent even that effective or neccessary anymore, so really dont hurt him hardly ever.

I get migraines a few days before my period starts. Is it common to have migraines as part of PMS? - Alaire*
Yes. Lots of women who have migraines get them as part of their PMS symptoms. Doctors believe that changing hormone levels are to blame for this type of headache, which is known as a menstrual migraine.
Take some steps to try to stop these headaches so you feel better. You could start by taking an over-the-counter medication like ibuprofen to see if that works. If you often get headaches a few days before your period, try taking the medication for a few days around that time, even if your headaches haven't started yet. Doing this might help you avoid getting a headache. If a headache does come on, sometimes a cool cloth or ice pack wrapped in a towel can help.
If these things don't work for you, or if your headaches are severe enough that you miss school or other activities, talk to your doctor. He or she may recommend a prescription medication or refer you to a headache expert.

SEATTLE -- The National Park Service has brought in additional rangers to Mount Rainier National Park to help recover the body of a ranger who fell to his death during a rescue operation Thursday near the summit.
Spokeswoman Jacqueline Ashwell says about three feet of snow has fallen since Thursday's accident that killed Ranger NickHall, and avalanche danger is high.
Helicopters are standing by, but it may be midweek before anyone is able to reach Hall's body.
A spokeswoman says three rangers from Denali National Park in Alaska are relieving rangers Monday at Camp Schurman, at about the 9,500-foot-level, where they have been waiting for a chance to retrieve Hall's body.
Two rangers from parks in Colorado also have been brought to Washington to help with the normal operation of the park.

Gogi Grant Biographical Information
She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the age of 12 she moved to Los Angeles. In California she won a teenage singing contest and appeared on television talent shows. In 1952 she began to record, using first the name "Audrey Brown" and later "Audrey Grant." She was given the name "Gogi" by Dave Kapp, the head of Artists and Repertory at RCA Records, who liked to patronize a restaurant called "Gogi's LaRue."
In 1955 she signed with a small record company, Era Records, and had her first top ten hit with "Suddenly There's a Valley." The next year, she had an even bigger hit (reaching Billboard magazine's number one spot) with "The Wayward Wind" and she was voted most popular female vocalist by Billboard magazine.
In 1957 she supplied the vocals for Ann Blyth in the movie portrayal of Helen Morgan's life. The soundtrack occasioned her return to RCA, where she also had a minor hit the following year with "Strange Are the Ways of Love." Although she made albums and appeared on television into the 1960s, her popularity declined and she retired from singing in 1967, though an album of hers was released in England twenty years later.

If we were to ask Maximum PC readers which they would rather have, a netbook or an iPad, we suspect the netbook would win by a landslide. Pose the same question to the mainstream, however, and the results are a lot closer, according to a recent NPD study.
NPD pinged a group of 18-34 year olds to see which they'd prefer, and while the netbook came out ahead, it was a slim margin of victory. Just over half -- 51 percent -- said they'd prefer to roll with a conventional portable, but even more interesting, 44 percent of existing Apple device owners said they'd rather get a computer like the MacBook than an iPad.
"Considering what people are planning to use the iPad for, it's not hard to understand why people who have these capabilities on other devices, such as the iPod touch or a notebook/netbook, may not want to spend $500 or more on a similar device," NPD's Stephen Baker said. "This points to the need for Apple to close the content deals that focus the iPad on what is likely to be its best long-range value proposition...high quality media consumption."
Overall, about 57 percent objected to the $499 price point for the entry-level model, while 43 percent of Apple users also took issue with the price. Only 18 percent had serious plans to purchase an iPad in the near future.
