All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better -Ralph Waldo Emerson
My definition of the girl next door is someone who is sweet, kind, caring, and smart. She is also someone who is pretty easy going and tries to go with the flow because she strongly believes that things have a way of working out if it doesn't go as planned. This girl next door enjoys going out-- whether it is to the mall to go shopping or to the waterfront park to watch the sunset. Don't get me wrong. This girl also enjoys lounging around at home with a good book or curling up on the couch and catching up on some shows. This girl next door is me. Although there is more to this girl next door but we'll just leave it at that. What I hope to find is a gentleman with a great sense of humor. There is nothing like a man who knows how to put a smile on your face and keep you entertained. What I find attractive in a guy is that he is independent, driven, outgoing, and intelligent. Like every other girl, we want someone who is faithful and unafraid of commitment. I know somewhere out there, there is someone who can run half marathon races, watch hockey, and enjoy sunsets with me.

baby movement!?!?
No, not too early. It kind of feels like gas movements at first too. If you really want to see, drink some orange juice and wait--that usually gets them moving!!

my baby's kicks do not feel like gas, they feel like flutters, very unmistakable and different from gas bubbles. I've been feeling the little guy since week 12 :). he is getting stronger, and I'm learning how to feel him, usually if I sit still on the couch, nice and relaxed he'll start kicking :).

AUBURN — Columbia City's baseball team held on to a 6-4 lead to beat Snider in the opening round of sectionals at DeKalb Thursday.
After a 6-3 lead, the Panthers threatened the Eagles with a run in the seventh inning, a base runner on second and the tying run at the plate.
Columbia City held on to get the next three batters out and win, 6-4.
Jordan Bickle opened the second frame with a home run. Snider led off the bottom of the second with a home run to tie the score at one.
FORT WAYNE — What better way to open sectional baseball action than a sixth-inning comeback and an eight-frame nail-biter?
When Kody Poyser hits a walk-off single to send Churubusco to the semi-finals.
The Eagles faced Eastside in the opening round of sectional play Wednesday at Indiana Tech in Fort Wayne and won 4-3 after facing a 3-1 deficit in the sixth inning.
The Eagles also scored their first run in the opening frame, as lead-off batter Poyser crossed home plate for the 'Busco's first time of the game.
COLUMBIA CITY — Three Columbia City linksters played their last match as Eagles at Eagle Glen Tuesday night against Wawasee.
Columbia City, led by senior Dustin Parrett, won by four strokes over the Warriors in the back nine, 175-179.
Parrett shot a season-low 40. Fellow seniors Drew Burnsworth and Tucker Daniel also wrapped up the home season with competitive scores.
"It was a good way for Parrett to go out," Columbia City Head Coach Andrew Thompson said.
OSSIAN — Whitko's softball team's season came to an end Tuesday night in what Head Coach Jamilyn Pegan called, a "heart-breaker."
"It was a heart-breaker but they went down strong," Pegan said. "I'm proud of them. "We were one run away, one hit away, one play away."
The Lady Wildcats fell in the fifth frame, 2-1.
After a tough start from the plate, the Lady Wildcats got on the scoreboard for the first time in the sixth inning.
"They hung in there," Pegan said. "Especially when they were struggling with hitting in the beginning."
FORT WAYNE — Three Whitley County athletes are advancing to the Indiana State Track Finals in four events after strong placings in Northrop's regional competition Tuesday night.
Columbia City's Samantha Roush took second in the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:04.58, the state-qualifying standard.
Heather Monk from Churubusco is advancing in two events — the shot put and discus.
Monk threw the qualifying standard in both events. She placed second in the shot put with a heave of 41 feet, 9 inches. In the discus, Monk took third with a throw of 128 feet, 11 inches.
HUNTERTOWN — Columbia City's softball season was cut short Monday night at Carroll.
The Lady Eagles faced Northeast Hoosier Conference foe East Noble (17-10) in the first round of sectionals and lost, 6-2.
After winning the NHC with an undefeated 7-0 record and coming of last season's strong tournament play — a trip to semi-state — fans, parents, players and coaches were disappointed in the early loss.
The Lady Knights scored six runs before Columbia City got on the board.
Whether it be bad luck or strong play by the Lady Knights, the end result was the same.
KENDALLVILLE — Churubusco's boys golf team placed an impressive fourth out of 11 teams in the Northeast Corner Conference Golf Tournament Saturday at Noble Hawk Golf Links in Kendallville.
The Eagles' score of 333 was just behind third-place Lakeland, second-place Angola and NECC Champion Fairfield, which shot a course blistering 304.
'Busco freshman Beau Barkley waited until conference to shoot his best round of the season, firing an impressive three over par (74). The highlight of the day was Barkley's second shot on hole No.3.
Indian Springs Middle School's boys golf team is undefeated after 10 matches. The Eagles won the Northeast Lakes Middle School Conference match last week, and defeated Summitt and Woodside (Homestead) on Tuesday by two strokes.
Tyler Green, second from left, shot a one-under par at Raccoon Run in the NLMSC match (34). Spencer Klimek, fourth from left, finished with an even par, 35.
Matt Benedict, third from left, shot a 41. Garrett Roehling, far right, fired a 44 and Nick Decker, far left, had a 49.
COLUMBIA CITY — For six innings, the Columbia City Lady Eagles clung to a 1-0 lead over visiting Huntington North Lady Vikings.
In the top of the seventh frame, the Lady Vikings scored a run to turn what had been a quickly played ball game into an 11-inning siege.
In the top of the 11th, the Lady Vikings pushed across three runs with two outs to send the Lady Eagles down to a 4-1 defeat.
Columbia City starting pitcher Cassie Vodde had a one-hitter going through the first six innings, recording 11 strikeouts and only one base runner for the first six stanzas.
WAYNEDALE — Though neither Whitko nor Columbia City could top Homestead's impressive 121 points Thursday night at the boys track sectional, Whitley County athletes qualified for regionals in 21 placings.
Churubusco competed at the North Side sectional and came in sixth as a team. Whitko placed second behind the Spartans with 95.5 points. Wayne (90) took third, New Haven (80) came in fourth and Columbia City placed fifth with 59 points.
"In reality, Homestead is the best team," Whitko Head Coach Ron Cherry said. "They're the ones we were chasing all night."

A text on Hajabba Harekal will also be included, says textbook panel chief
The syllabus for Kannada and optional language subjects taught in the first year of under-graduation courses under Mangalore University will be revised to include the works of regional writers and dramatists.
The proposal was accepted at a special meeting of the Academic Council of the University held here on Saturday. University Vice-Chancellor T.C. Shivashankara Murthy said poems, dramas, short stories, and excerpts of novels by writers such as M. Gopalkrishna Adiga, M. Vijaybhanu Shetty, B.A. Vivek Rai, S.V. Parameshwar Bhatta, and Na. D'Souza among others will find space alongside Ranna, Pampa, M. Govinda Pai, and Kuvempu.
A total of 11 textbooks would be published by the University Publication Department to bring out books of varying difficulties for the courses.
Moreover, K. Abhaya Kumar, Chief Editor of the Degree Kannada Textbooks Revision Committee, said a text on Hajabba Harekal would be introduced too. "While other universities have entries about him, we had not carried it at all. Having a lesson on a person from our region who has received national and international recognition for his social work, will be inspirational for students," he said.
Meanwhile, there were fluctuating fortunes for two colleges under the University, both of whose requests for permission for additional intake or courses were shot down by the inspection committee.
St. Agnes College (Autonomous), Mangalore, had asked for permission to increase the intake into the M.Sc. (Chemistry) course to 30 students per academic year, from the current 20 students. However, in their report, the inspection committee said the college did not have adequate library or laboratory facilities to warrant an increased intake.
However, Mr. Murthy said as the report had given the college a provision to improve facilities before asking for permission again, the report would be kept in abeyance, and permission given to the college provided they upgrade their library facility (the laboratory would be used in batches, instead of 30 students at once).
Government Degree College, Kushalnagar, was not this fortunate however. T.N. Sreedhara, Chairman of inspection committee, said their request for starting an additional B.C.A (Bachelors' of Computer Applications) was rejected as the college did not have "adequate space or classrooms" for the new class. The report was accepted at the Council meeting.

I would love to have Rios. But I would rather save the prospects to see if the can develope by 2009/2010 or trade them for a #2 starter (or better). Then sign a RH bat in free agency.
Part of me wants to stand pat and see how Bailey, Cueto, Maloney, Votto, Bruce develop/produce this upcoming season. The risk is if they falter and expose themselves as non-major league quality (which I doubt will happen with about 3 to 4 of them).
Another part of me wants to fix the LH lineup and add a RH bat. On the other hand, another part of me wants to see if EE can improve his hitting and power this upcoming season.
In other words, this upcoming season is the year of seeing what the young guys can do. Most have not much more to prove in the minors and it's show us what you can do time.

Beautiful Card
Shipping was fast, great quality! I am in love with the product I received!
Beautiful Cards
We looked at a lot of websites, trying to choose our save the date cards. This was by far the best.
Gorgeous Save the Dates
Our Save the Dates came out amazingly. They looked even better than the "Just One" we ordered (which was excellent). The customer service was also amazing. I forgot to add a line to our magnet holder cards and they took care of it perfectly. They even let me know I didn't have to add any additional postage! Helpful and budget conscious. I highly reccomend these save the dates and magnet street as a whole.
Pair of starfish
Love the design but for what you pay they were not perfect. The colour of my RSVP cards almost smeared through to the front making the pearl colour a little off. I do not have time to send them back and get them fixed as I need to send them out ASAP. They were not cheap so you would expect them to come out perfect. I am not a perfectionist but something like that does bother me. I would recommend to get a sample first but my fault for waiting till the last minute to order them. I'm hoping if I were to order them again they would give me some sort of discount.

Editor's note: In the days leading up to the April 2 Anchorage municipal election, we'll be publishing responses from Assembly and School Board candidates to a range of questions.
Q: If you could change three things about city government, what would they be (listing most important first)?
District 2: Seat A
Chugiak/Eagle River
Amy Demboski: I would make it smaller, more efficient and more transparent. The citizens of Chugiak-Eagle River work very hard for their money, and I want the citizens to know that their tax dollars are being spent in a responsible manner; it should be very clear where every cent is being spent.
Peter Mulcahy: Our municipality's budget is on an unsustainable course. We must get our expenses under control and live within our means. To do so, we must contain costs, streamline services. Which would then allow us to provide public services in accordance with our revenues while keeping property taxes under control -- reduce property taxes.
Bob Lupo: 1) The safety of the people must always be the No. 1 priority of any government, so our city's governing powers must never again consider cutting our emergency services to satisfy a budget deficit. 2) Allow Eagle River to govern itself. 3) Do not allow governing individuals, with conflicts of interest, to participate in decisions which will line their own pockets at the expense of the public.
District 3: Seat D
West Anchorage
Ernie Hall: 1) More community involvement; would love to see 80 percent turnout for an election. 2) More participation in community councils, which is government at the grass root level. 3) Administrations and Assemblies that work well together
Nick Moe: Our local government would be more: 1. responsive 2. effective 3. concerned with a long term vision for the future
District 3: Seat E
West Anchorage
Cheryl Frasca: 1) Provide a more deliberative process for how the Assembly reviews legislative proposals, including the public's role in that process. 2) Provide a way in which to engage citizens in constructively discussing difficult public policy issues. 3) Use a system of performance measures to evaluate effectiveness of programs in delivering results in making budget decisions.
Phil Isley: The planning department, the bonding process and the way our school system teaches children.
Tim Steele: 1) Restore effective checks and balances between our executive and legislative bodies in municipal government. 2) Improve local support for public education. 3) Increase the respect and attention paid to individual citizens by our elected leaders.
District 4: Seat F
Midtown Anchorage
Andy Clary: 1) I'd make sustainable budgets. Taxpayers work hard for their money, and we must show responsibility with their resources. 2) I'd simplify the process for developing land. Affordable housing needs to be available to more people. 3) I'd implement more effective uses of technology to better serve the public. Examples include improved technology in public safety vehicles and fleet management software.
Dick Traini: 1) The relationship between the Assembly and the mayor. 2) Exemptions mandated by state law on real property. 3) Unfunded liabilities
District 5: Seat H
East Anchorage
Paul Honeman: 1) Eliminate either the city manager or the chief of staff position, because we have a "strong mayor" form of local government -- it is duplicative and expensive. 2) Place our public safety department heads and budgets under a public safety commission that is not directly answerable to the mayor. Playing politics with our public safety is not acceptable. 3) Develop a more user friendly public transportation system, with collaboration and a regional commuter plan that is adequately funded.
District 6: Seat J
South Anchorage
Jennifer Johnston: 1) Improve shared services with the School District, so education dollars can go to the classroom. 2) Develop an improved form of crowd sourcing to bring the municipality's services into the forefront of the 21st century with improved technology and services. 3) More user-friendly technology in the Assembly chambers.

Can't get more right than rain
CORPUS CHRISTI - I have always been mesmerized by rainfall and therefore the weather.
In my youth I could get lost in the sound and sight of the skies washing away the dirt and dust in my special world. But it was a simpler time then. A more carefree time.
Once I ran home from school in a pouring summer rain. I splashed through mud puddles, laughing and catching raindrops in my mouth. My daddy wasn't angry that I was drenched "because maybe you just needed a good washing from the heavens," he said.
I grew up in a small wood-frame house in Ingleside without air conditioning.
A number of screened windows placed in cross-ventilation caught south breezes so it was fairly cool. When it rained hard we shut the windows to keep out the moisture. Then it was rather stuffy inside. When the raindrops finally eased to sprinkles, I'd crack the window by my bed. I could still hear the pleasant distant rolling thunder. But the breeze was cooler and so fresh. Lingering pitter-patter of raindrops on the rooftop made it easy to drift back to sleep until sunup.
It was almost like a song, a lullaby. Those past rain interludes were some of the most keepsake, peaceful memories I can remember. I never forgot them ... or ever wanted to.
My fascination with rain and related weather happenings grew when I became a news reporter. One of my first jobs was with the Valley Morning Star, a Harlingen daily newspaper. The publisher had a strict policy that each day's morning edition carry a front page weather article. A brief, catchy paragraph led it off. The daily forecast was important to readers, he said, because so many Rio Grande Valley fruit and vegetable growers plus other public interests depended on the weather. It was a challenge to write something bright every day because Valley weather was usually stable, tranquil and often dull reading.
One day with thunderstorm threats predicted, I wrote: "Like Zorro, the weather may leave its mark across the Valley today." The publisher was elated.
When I was hired by the Caller-Times I tried to carry on the frequent weather writing habit, volunteering for as many rain or storm stories as possible. And I wrote many accounts of storms, squalls, freezes, floods, etc. I developed a close relationship with National Weather Service meteorologists. I quoted them by name, something they welcomed because it made our story more personal. They expanded the brief forecast and explained reasons for the predictions. It just elevated the weather articles to be more informative and readable. Weathermen like Russell Mozeney, Glenn Trapp, Bill Hare, Wayne Norman, Frank Sealy and Jack Fite were very professional.
Once I wrote a weather piece on a dreary, overcast day, calling it "oyster-colored" skies. The late Ann Simer, a Times copy editor, told me it was the most accurately descriptive weather observation she'd ever read.
I covered Hurricane Carla in 1961, almost being swept into the ship channel by forceful sheets or rain and wind. I was reporting on a barge that had broken loose from its moorings. I was at the airport weather service reporting throughout Hurricane Celia in 1970 and watched the wind gauge blow away. I still have the Celia Teletype bulletins, now faded yellow, as local meteorologist Norman warned of the approaching destructive storm.
Many folk idioms regarding rain have passed down through ages. I'm amused by phrases like "it's raining cats and dogs," "when it rains it pours," "gully washer," "it's raining pitchforks," "right as rain" and "know when to come in our of the rain."
Thus far 2012 is a hit-and-miss rainy year for many Coastal Bend farmers, ranchers and homeowners. Almost seven inches of rain has fallen into my rain gauge. Lawns and roadways are greening up again. Hurricane season is nearing, which spells potential for tropical rains.
There's an old saying: "Be it dry or be it wet, the weather always pays its debt."
I can still hear echoes of my father's words that if the Lord lets you get wet "maybe you just needed a good washing."
So if we get the chance this season let's all take the time to run through the rain again. And be thankful for HIS many blessings.
Just one more time. For the good times.

A decision by the Civil Service Employees Association to forgo a giant inflatable rat at a Spa City protest was well advised, as torrential rainfall besieged pickets in front of the City Center shortly after their demonstration began on Tuesday, June 30.
But many of the several dozen Department of Public Works employees marched in the front of the building through the pouring rain carrying signs that read I'm your Zamboni driver and "I plow the streets." They were largely protesting what they say is an unfair stance by the city in recently stalled union contract negotiations.
"Our members feel slighted by the city and they feel neglected by the community," said Jon Premo, CSEA's chief negotiator for the DPW.
The negotiations officially ended on June 4, when both sides made their final proposals. The city made a final offer of no raises this year, followed by 1.5 and 2.5 percent raises in 2010 and 2011, provided that employees who don't pay for health care would pay $500 annually toward health care costs.
CSEA counter offered, accepting a zero percent raise in 2009 but proposing a 3 percent raise " along with a 1.5 percent raise in July " for the following two years.
Mayor Scott Johnson said the city cannot afford the CSEA's proposal. He was with hundreds of his colleagues inside the City Center on Tuesday for the New York Conference of Mayors, where the central theme was maintaining government in lean times.
The city is facing a fiscal crisis that largely stems from lagging tax revenues and the removal of VLT aid funding from the state. The City Council is expected to vote on $2.8 million of mid-year budget cuts on July 7.
"We're developing a new mindset on what is fair compensation for union workers that the city taxpayer can actually afford," said Johnson. "We simply can't afford to be overly generous."

Wireless Minder
10,000 - 50,000 downloadsAdd this app to your listsTweets por @Appszoom
Example uses:
Upon leaving your home, WiFi disconnects but the radio continues to draw power when no WiFi is in range. Wireless Minder shuts down the WiFi and occasionally checks for a known WiFi AP.
If you leave Bluetooth disabled most of the time but have a hands-free set in the car, Wireless Minder turns it on so you don't have to manually enable Bluetooth. If Bluetooth isn't already on when a call is made or received, Wireless Minder quickly enables it so that the hands-free set will be used.
For power users, the Mobile 3G/4G radio may be optionally shut down when WiFi is connected. Wireless Minder automatically turns it on briefly to check for SMS, voicemails and other phone data. A side effect is that calls and texts may be DELAYED or MISSED so use this with discretion. Internet-based messaging apps and VOIP calls will continue to work on WiFi.
Android 4.2 introduced restrictions for controlling the Mobile radio. To work around this, Wireless Minder requires root privileges for this feature on newer releases of Jelly Bean.
Plans are in the works for new features and improvements. Comments and suggestions are welcome! We try to support as many devices as possible but can't test them all. Send us your phone specifications and we will try to get it running right.
Wireless Minder is FREE and ad-supported. If you feel like donating, we need help with translations, artwork, or maybe a beer if you're ever in Austin TX :)
Please visit contact website below to send suggestions and bug reports.
Android 4.4 (KitKat) note: Google has confirmed a bug in the WiFi driver that causes it to not turn back on if WiFi is toggled a few times. This is known to affect the Nexus 4, 7 and 10, but not the Nexus 5. Other devices may be affected as well.
FitBit users: Adjust the setting "How long to look for Bluetooth devices" to 30 seconds. When opening the FitBit app, follow the instructions to enable Bluetooth. The extended time allows the FitBit dongle to sync. Thanks to Nick Fokas for testing this!

Dag Savage ft. Aloe Blacc - When it Rains
Artist: Dag Savage
Featuring: Aloe Blacc
Producer: Exile
Album: E&J
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 7 votes )
From the outside it might appear as though artists have it easy, but dynamic duo Dag Savage, with a little help from Aloe Blacc, want you to know that the recording community isn't exempt from a battery of everyday issues. When it Rains plays host to a scratchy, vintage beat from the duo's beatmaker, Exile, which is reliant on a catchy Brenton Wood sample. Adding to the old-school vibe, guest artist Blacc lays down a vintage vocal performance with his complementary and memorable hook. With his honest, rugged flow, emcee Johaz shares his personal troubles, ranging from paying child support to his sputtering relationship with his girl, in hopes that, maybe, the onslaught of rain will subside. In case you are interested in singing the blues right along side Johaz, The Dag Savage EP is out now and available via Dirty Science Records.

Is This the Jewish James Bond?
Funny or Die's solution to gratuitous violence in movies: a menschy 007
As the movie industry finally becomes attuned to the issue of gratuitous violence in blockbuster films often marketed to—or, at least, regularly viewed by—young audiences, and industry titan Harvey Weinstein pledges to make less violent films, it seems we've arrived at an important cultural moment. And since no cultural moment would be complete without a comic send-up, Funny or Die has a solution to the problem of violence on the big screen: Jewish James Bond.
This newest iteration of 007 is played by Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal, who shudders at his weapons cache ("I'm one guy—how many guns does a person need?") and would prefer to drive a Prius. "Bond. James Bond," he says, his voice cracking. "But you can call me Jim, Jimmy…"
You get the idea. I could say something here about the somewhat derivative concept (he turns down the advances of 'Ivanna Have Sex' and gets her to call her mother), but I figure I'll just let you guys do that. To the comments section!

I should have gotten a 9. Unfortunately, I was not able to exchange them as nearly all sizes are now sold out.

Kevin Gregg and Jason Marquis will bring back memories of the Lost Decade.
Kevin Gregg: DFA'd May 11, 2015
Jason Marquis: Hopefully not far behind
DeCourcy says that Stephenson has had the most impressive pre-season showing so far in this article from Sporting News Today:
The latest rumor I've heard - and this is strictly a rumor so it may not be worth much more than pulling information out of thin air - is that Lance will get a three game suspension (both exhibition games and the first regular season game).
Take that rumor for what it's worth, which is probably very little.
Kevin Gregg and Jason Marquis will bring back memories of the Lost Decade.

The ruling is in.....
He's eligible and playing tonight!!
http://www.zagsblog.com/2009/11/05/l...uled-eligible/Cincinnati freshman guard Lance Stephenson has been ruled eligible by the NCAA and won't miss any games, according to sources.
Cincinnati was informed early Thursday evening and Stephenson will be eligible to play in Thursday's exhibition against Saginaw Valley State.
The 6-foot-5 Stephenson was being investigated by the NCAA for amateurism issues presumably related to his involvement in the "Born Ready" Internet series and a film called "Gunnin' For That No. 1 Spot."
The all-time leading scorer in New York State history during his career at Brooklyn Lincoln High School, Stephenson was named the Big East Preseason Rookie of the Year.
He recently scored 22 points in 25 minutes in a scrimmage, impressing observers.
"The guy can play offense," Bearcats coach Mick Cronin told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "He's got a lot of natural, God-given ability. I think our style of play will help Lance."
Stephenson chose Cincinnati in June, a story first reported by SNY.tv.

What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
For those who perhaps did not know, you can watch the game for free on gobearcats.com. Not the best quality, but I've been impressed with UC so far. Not a great opponent, but still pretty good showing so far.
Lance looked like a freshman at times. He had 9 points in limited action off the bench. 4-14 shooting, that will improve. He is a great passer, he'll be fun to watch. So will this team once they get everything set.
Follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/ShaneHorning
Fun game, can't wait for the actual season to start. Darnell Wilks was most impressive to me and Cashmere/JaQuon both handled the point well (10ast/2To total).
Follow me on twitter @EricLilly7
I only watched the first half, but I've always thought Wilks could become they type of spark plug that James White was. He's an athletic high flyer that can be exciting to watch at times. I'm not sure he will be as good as White, but he can definately give you a spark off the bench.
Parker's hands are amazingly fast. He can definately cause some problems on defense. I thought it looked like Stephenson was trying a little too hard at times. Looks like he may run into some foul trouble from time to time. Maybe the excitement of the everything was getting to him a little bit. Overall, not a bad performance by the Bearcats. Shake off some of that rust and we might have a pretty exciting team to watch this year.
Lance may be the key to Cronin. Cronin got a seat at the big boys table with Lance, but he has to prove he can coach him. He has to prove that he can coach the one and done player and keep that player happy. On the other hand he has to find out if a one and done player is worth the trouble. Thad Matta is learning that lesson as we speak. Koufos and Mullens were nice players, but they didn't have near the impact a Evan Turner has.
At least this season UC will be exciting and have the horses to compete in the Big East.

A 018μm Cmos Transmitter for Ecg Signals
Date: December 2013
Creator: Kakarna, Tejaswi
Description: Electrocardiography (ECG) signal transmitter is the device used to transmit the electrical signals of the heart to the remote machine. These electrical signals are ECG signals caused due to electrical activities in the heart. ECG signals have very low amplitude and frequency; hence amplification of the signals is needed to strengthen the signal. Conversion of the amplified signal into digital information and transmitting that information without losing any data is the key. This information is further used in monitoring the heart.

Date: August 2005
Creator: Fang, I-Jen
Description: The marimba is rapidly achieving greater importance as a solo percussion instrument. Solo compositions for the marimba have been commissioned and performed only in the last sixty years. The 1986 National Endowment for the Arts Solo Marimba Commission is considered one of the most important commissioning projects in the history of marimba literature. Two compositions created through this project, Velocities by Joseph Schwantner and Reflections on the Nature of Water by Jacob Druckman have become two of the most influential works in contemporary marimba music. This thesis will focus on a historical perspective of the project, as well as theoretical aspects and performance issues related to these two compositions. The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) issued a consortium commissioning grant through the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) in 1986 to three internationally renowned marimbists, William Moersch, Leigh Howard Stevens and Gordon Stout. Three Pulitzer Prize winners were brought together to compose three new works for the marimba. The resulting pieces were: Reflections on the Nature of Water by Jacob Druckman, Velocities by Joseph Schwantner, and Islands from Archipelago: Autumn Island by Roger Reynolds. A brief history of the classical concert marimba and the development of solo marimba literature is provided ...

3D Reconstruction Using Lidar and Visual Images
Date: December 2012
Creator: Duraisamy, Prakash
Description: In this research, multi-perspective image registration using LiDAR and visual images was considered. 2D-3D image registration is a difficult task because it requires the extraction of different semantic features from each modality. This problem is solved in three parts. The first step involves detection and extraction of common features from each of the data sets. The second step consists of associating the common features between two different modalities. Traditional methods use lines or orthogonal corners as common features. The third step consists of building the projection matrix. Many existing methods use global positing system (GPS) or inertial navigation system (INS) for an initial estimate of the camera pose. However, the approach discussed herein does not use GPS, INS, or any such devices for initial estimate; hence the model can be used in places like the lunar surface or Mars where GPS or INS are not available. A variation of the method is also described, which does not require strong features from both images but rather uses intensity gradients in the image. This can be useful when one image does not have strong features (such as lines) or there are too many extraneous features.

3GPP Long Term Evolution LTE Scheduling
Date: December 2013
Creator: Alotaibi, Sultan
Description: Future generation cellular networks are expected to deliver an omnipresent broadband access network for an endlessly increasing number of subscribers. Long term Evolution (LTE) represents a significant milestone towards wireless networks known as 4G cellular networks. A key feature of LTE is the implementation of enhanced Radio Resource Management (RRM) mechanism to improve the system performance. The structure of LTE networks was simplified by diminishing the number of the nodes of the core network. Also, the design of the radio protocol architecture is quite unique. In order to achieve high data rate in LTE, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has selected Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) as an appropriate scheme in terms of downlinks. However, the proper scheme for an uplink is the Single-Carrier Frequency Domain Multiple Access due to the peak-to-average-power-ratio (PAPR) constraint. LTE packet scheduling plays a primary role as part of RRM to improve the system's data rate as well as supporting various QoS requirements of mobile services. The major function of the LTE packet scheduler is to assign Physical Resource Blocks (PRBs) to mobile User Equipment (UE). In our work, we formed a proposed packet scheduler algorithm. The proposed scheduler algorithm acts based on the number ...

D. A. Kolb's Theory of Experiential Learning: Implications for the Development of Music Theory Instructional Material
Date: August 2001
Creator: Lively, Michael
Description: This research project evaluates the effectiveness of specific music theory instructional strategies in terms of D. A. Kolb's theory of experiential learning and Kolb's typology of individual learning style. The project provides an original methodology for the adaptation of music theory instructional material to the individual learning style types described in Kolb's typology. The study compares the relative effectiveness of two music theory instructional sequences, one of which is adapted for all of the learning style modalities described in Kolb's typology, and the other adapted for only a limited number of Kolb's learning style types. In order to compare the potential "learning outcomes" produced by these instructional sequences, a detailed study is proposed, in which computer based instruction (CBI) will deliver the instructional sequences to research participants and electronically record the participants' responses. The current study demonstrates the effective aspects of the original methodology and suggests methods for the successful adaptation of music theory instructional material to individual student learning styles.

Ab Initio and Density Functional Investigation of the Conformer Manifold of Melatonin and a Proposal for a Simple Dft-based Diagnostic for Nondynamical Correlation
Date: August 2013
Creator: Fogueri, Uma
Description: In this work we address two problems in computational chemistry relevant to biomolecular modeling. In the first project, we consider the conformer space of melatonin as a a representative example of "real-life" flexible biomolecules. Geometries for all 52 unique conformers are optimized using spin-component scaled MP2, and then relative energies are obtained at the CCSD (T) level near the complete basis set limit. These are then used to validate a variety of DFT methods with and without empirical dispersion corrections, as well as some lower-level ab initio methods. Basis set convergence is found to be relatively slow due to internal C-H…O and C-H…N contacts. Absent dispersion corrections, many DFT functionals will transpose the two lowest conformers. Dispersion corrections resolve the problem for most functionals. Double hybrids yield particularly good performance, as does MP2.5. In the second project, we propose a simple DFT-based diagnostic for nondynamical correlation effects. Aλ= (1-TAE [ΧλC]/TAE[XC])/λ where TAE is the total atomization energy, XC the "pure" DFT exchange-correlation functional, and ΧλC the corresponding hybrid with 100λ% HF-type exchange. The diagnostic is a good predictor for sensitivity of energetics to the level of theory, unlike most of the wavefunction-based diagnostics. For GGA functionals, Aλ values approaching unity ...

Ability Estimation Under Different Item Parameterization and Scoring Models
Date: May 2002
Creator: Si, Ching-Fung B.
Description: A Monte Carlo simulation study investigated the effect of scoring format, item parameterization, threshold configuration, and prior ability distribution on the accuracy of ability estimation given various IRT models. Item response data on 30 items from 1,000 examinees was simulated using known item parameters and ability estimates. The item response data sets were submitted to seven dichotomous or polytomous IRT models with different item parameterization to estimate examinee ability. The accuracy of the ability estimation for a given IRT model was assessed by the recovery rate and the root mean square errors. The results indicated that polytomous models produced more accurate ability estimates than the dichotomous models, under all combinations of research conditions, as indicated by higher recovery rates and lower root mean square errors. For the item parameterization models, the one-parameter model out-performed the two-parameter and three-parameter models under all research conditions. Among the polytomous models, the partial credit model had more accurate ability estimation than the other three polytomous models. The nominal categories model performed better than the general partial credit model and the multiple-choice model with the multiple-choice model the least accurate. The results further indicated that certain prior ability distributions had an effect on the accuracy ...

Pune: A gang of six persons including Shubham Phuge, who is the son of former corporator Seema Phuge and Datta Phuge (Goldman), were arrested by Bhosari police on Wednesday night for allegedly carrying sharp weapons. They have been accused of murdering 15-year-old Shubham Shirke and booked under Arms Act of Indian Penal Code.
The arrested persons have been identified as Shubham Dattatray Phuge (19), Chandansingh Bora (19), Nikhil Sanjay Kamble (19), Hrishikesh Subhash Lashkare (21), Akshay Ashok Bhagat (19) and Nitesh Ramavatar Singh (19) They are residents of Bhosari area. Out of the six, Akshay was a minor when he was accused of Shubham's murder. The police detained him and sent him to an observation home. A year later, he was out on bail.
C D Bhosle, Inspector in-charge, of Bhosari police station said, "As there was tension in some pockets of the city, police were patrolling in Bhosari area.

This is a fantastic record. Have mercy!
Must the images be of the "Uncle Jesse" character or just of actor John Stamos. This makes difference.

Posada's 12th-inning single gives Yanks win
NEW YORK Jorge Posada hit a game-ending RBI single in the 12th inning to lift the New York Yankees to a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday.
With one out and runners on first and second, Posada lined a 1-1 pitch from Shawn Camp into center field. Alex Rodriguez scored without a play as the Yankees poured out of the dugout to congratulate Posada near first base.
The Yankees have won nine of 10 to move a season-best 14 games above .500 and pull within a game of AL East-leading Boston, which lost 3-2 to Seattle on Saturday. Brett Tomko (1-2) pitched a scoreless inning for the win.
Mark Teixeira got the winning rally started with a liner that caromed off the first-base bag and over Lyle Overbay for a double. Rodriguez received his second consecutive intentional walk before Teixeira was cut down at third on Robinson Cano's sacrifice attempt.
Adam Lind hit a two-run homer and Alex Rios had three RBIs for Toronto, which has lost six of seven. Scott Rolen doubled in the fourth and is batting .407 (35 for 86) during his career-best 21-game hitting streak.
Posada, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui homered for the Yankees, who lost starter Chien-Ming Wang to a strained right shoulder in the sixth inning. Wang, who missed time earlier this season with weakness in his hips, was scheduled to get an MRI on Saturday.
Posada finished with two hits after missing New York's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays on Friday with a sore left thumb.
New York improved to 25-15 at the new Yankee Stadium, which has surrendered 135 homers already this season. The Yankees will reach the halfway point of their home slate on Sunday afternoon against the Blue Jays.
The Yankees led Roy Halladay and Toronto 3-2 before the Blue Jays rallied in the sixth. Marco Scutaro led off with a double and Lind hit a one-out drive over the wall in right for his 17th homer.
Wang then threw a ball to Rolen before manager Joe Girardi and assistant trainer Steve Donohue came out to the mound. After a short discussion, Wang headed for the Yankees' dugout.
David Robertson came in and walked Rolen and Lyle Overbay. After Vernon Wells took a called third strike, Rios singled to center to give the Blue Jays a 5-3 lead.
Toronto's three-run inning put Halladay in position to become the major leagues' first 11-game winner but the right-hander never looked comfortable in his first start at New York's cozy new ballpark.
Derek Jeter hit a leadoff single in the seventh and Damon followed with a drive that landed a few rows back in right, tying it at 5.
Halladay equaled a career worst by allowing three homers over seven innings in his second start since coming off the disabled list after being sidelined with a sore groin. He is 16-5 with a 2.90 ERA in 34 games, 31 starts, against the Yankees.
Before the game, Jeter helped Major League Baseball commemorate the 70th anniversary of Lou Gehrig's luckiest man speech, reading the famous line from the icon's stirring words during a video tribute.

A few days ago, Twitter was abuzz with hashtag #tweetlikebutterfly in which people from both sides of the border (especially Indians) were tweeting like Butterfly. How do you feel about Butterfly's popularity in India?
Moni: OMG! How did I miss that hashtag on Twitter? Where was I? Sleeping? I'm both flattered and touched to hear that Indian readers have taken the Butterfly so much to heart. Maybe she will become an ambassador of friendship and goodwill between our two countries.
You've written both serious fiction and satire. Which do you enjoy writing more?
I don't make a distinction between satire and serious fiction. Both, for me, are equally serious. In fact, as Saba Imtiaz recently wrote in her review of The Return of the Butterfly, some issues are so explosive that you can only write about them under the cover of satire. Do I enjoy writing? Let's just say, I enjoy the feeling of having written.
Butterfly makes for an unlikely social commentator – is this your way of airing political views in a society as sensitive to criticism as Pakistan?
My brief for the column that gave birth to The Diary of a Social Butterfly was to talk about important social issues in a light, non-moralistic, non-confrontational tone. As a writer I was interested in experimenting with voice, unreliable narration, character and short form fiction and since my editor at The Friday Times gave me great creative latitude, I came up with this frivolous, seemingly silly character who has a distinctive voice and I used her as a vehicle to air the 'important social concerns' my brief stipulated. That she doesn't seem to understand the import of half the things she sees and says makes her less threatening, if you will, and the fact that she doesn't preach (or very rarely) makes her digs bearable. In fact, it is precisely because she is as silly, as shallow, as culpable as the rest of us that she is allowed to get away with so much.
Are there parallels between you and Butterfly's?
Well, for a start, she and I are both 'Punjoos from Lahore only'. We are both most definitely non-vegetarian, we both love fashion, health spas, glossy magazines; we both give a lot of our time to friends and family and yes, we both enjoy good gossip. But then I'm also like bore Janoo in that I obsess about bore issues like global warming and minority rights, read bore books, watch bore films, visit bore places and have long, bore conversations about bore books and bore films and bore places. Like bore Janoo, I hope I have a social conscience.
You've said that Butterfly does not just belong to Pakistan. Have you found women like her in other places?
Butterfly is a universal character in that versions of her (wealthy pampered frivolous women) exist all over the world. Despite the fact that this particular Butterfly is very Pakistani and speaks in a distinctive Punjabi voice, readers from Italy, Lebanon, Malaysia, America and UAE have written to me to say how much she reminds them of people they know in their own social circles.
Have you ever offended anyone and been at the receiving end of their anger?
Only once. I inadvertently used the name of a society lady when describing a social climber with bad B.O (body odour). I was summoned to her house and given a tongue lashing. Other than that, so far so good.

I really like this poultice. It has a low active ingrediant list so we feel safe taking it with us to shows if need be.
Pros: great for use on sore horses
Cons: smelly and messy to use

Janet Babin, Economic Development Reporter, WNYC News
Janet Babin is a reporter at WNYC covering economic development.
Mayor Bill de Blasio may be focused on his goal to create or preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over the next decade.
But staff at the office of Housing Preservation and Development has been working feverishly to meet the former mayor's affordable housing promises.
Mayor Mike Bloomberg's New Housing Marketplace Plan for affordable housing promised to create or preserve 165,000 affordable apartments by 2014.
The agency has been focused like a laser on securing financing for the remaining 13,000 units needed this year to meet the old goal. That deadline is today, June 30, the end of fiscal year 2014 for New York City.
While deals have been known to fall apart at the last minute, Bloomberg's goal is expected to be met by day's end.
The rush of activity has yielded some interesting projects.
A $5.7 million, 15-unit condominium project in Brooklyn's Oceanhill-Brownsville neighborhood closed just this month. Purchasers of the condos have to put in a total of 300 hours of physical labor - sweat equity - on their units to finalize their sales.

In many write-intensive workloads Innodb/XtraDB storage engines you may see hidden and dangerous "debt" being accumulated – unpurged transaction "history" which if not kept in check over time will cause serve performance regression or will take all free space and cause an outage.

Search Results for: innodb can't allocate
Innodb row size limitation
I recently worked on a customer case where at seemingly random times, inserts would fail with Innodb error 139. This is a rather simple problem, but due to it's nature, it may only affect you after you already have a system running in production for a while.
Reasons for run-away main Innodb Tablespace
So you're running MySQL With innodb_file_per_table option but your ibdata1 file which holds main (or system) tablespace have grown dramatically from its starting 10MB size. What could be the reason of this growth and what you can do about it ? There are few things which are always stored in main tablespace – these are […]
Blob Storage in Innodb
I'm running in this misconception second time in a week or so, so it is time to blog about it. How blobs are stored in Innodb ? This depends on 3 factors. Blob size; Full row size and Innodb row format. But before we look into how BLOBs are really stored lets see what misconception […]
Limiting InnoDB Data Dictionary
One of InnoDB's features is that memory allocated for internal tables definitions is not limited and may grow indefinitely. You may not notice it if you have an usual application with say 100-1000 tables. But for hosting providers and for user oriented applications ( each user has dedicated database / table) it is disaster. For […]
How much space does empty Innodb table take ?
How much space would empty MyISAM table take ? Probably 8K for .frm file, 1KB for .MYI file and 0 for MYD file. .MYI file can be larger if you have many indexes. How much space will Innodb take:
Efficient Boolean value storage for Innodb Tables
Sometimes you have the task of storing multiple of boolean values (yes/now or something similar) in the table and if you get many columns and many rows you may want to store them as efficient way as possible. For MyISAM tables you could use BIT(1) fields which get combined together for efficient storage:
CREATE TABLE `bbool` (
`b1` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b2` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b3` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b4` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b5` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b6` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b7` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b8` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b9` bit(1) NOT NULL,
`b10` bit(1) NOT NULL
