Should I Get 3G Nano Instead of the 4G?
The 4G Nano seems to be unpopular among those who have purchased them.
Shorter battery life, accelerometer-related issues, incompatibility with existing iPod accessories, etc.
So should I get the 3G, which are still available new and being heavily discounted?
Let me know your opinions.

It's up to your needs.
If the 3G Nano does all that you want and you don't really have a need for the 4G features, then get the 3G.

I just returned my 4g Nano due to a defective click wheel. I'm glad I got my money back. My 3g Nano, which I still own, feels nicer in hand and the screen, being horizontally orientated, is easier and nicer to read and look at. Also, it fits much better in the small change pocket found on most jeans. The new features that the 4g offers are gimmicks, in my opinion. The only thing I will miss is the extra memory capacity. I may just go get another 3g while they are still available. I'll have, essentially, double the capacity and battery life when I go on a month long holiday very soon.
I was expecting a better experience when I bought the 4g. I have owned an iPod Mini and every Nano and liked each one better than its predecessor, but the 4g was a let down.
In my opinion, unless you really need 16GB, get the 3g.
How a grown person can believe anything any politician says in this day and age is utterly beyond me.

The main reason I waited for a 4G was for the additional storage. Otherwise, I would have picked up a refurb 3G. I haven't had any issues with the 4G, but if you don't need the extra memory, I don't think the other features would really be worth the price difference.

There are many players out there that would be better buys than the 4G Nano. The Zune 8gb and 16gb players are the same price, yet throw in FM radio and WIFI. The Samsung T10 has a slew of animated UIs to choose from, Bluetooth, FM radio with recording, mic with recording, and more. I have all three, and I pick up my 4G Nano least often.

Depends on how much video-watching you do. I find the return to the old form factor better, since the most I might do with the Nano videowise is to peek at a video podcast. I do wish I could just turn the accelerometer off though at times.

As standalone players many of the non-iPod alternatives are better in many ways. There's also the new Sony's which are great, and the feature-loaded Cowons too (both also works as drag & drop players in OS X)
The problem for me at least, and probably for many others is the two-way player syncing. Only the Zune does two-way reliably from what I know for non-iPods and it's pretty important for me. There are also other aspects such as accessory compatibility / availability - which in my experience, the more you use a player the more the lack of it (i.e. every non-iPod) annoys. The 4G still works with standard docks, and audio accessories using them so I'm not seeing a problem.
If you've never used playcounts - there may be a better players for your buck: I'm partial to Sony. If you use Windows - there's the Zune, which is getting very good reviews from those brave enough to deviate from the herd but not necessarily in the ubergeek crowd. But the iPods aren't exactly bad, are very usable, have the aforesaid two-way and sound better than the 'they sound terrible' nerdiophiles make them out to be, so I'm fine with them for now.

To the OP: If you can get a GREAT deal on a 3rd gen Nano, and you're stuck on iPods, then get it. I've got them both (4th and 3rd) in front of me, with the same music on each, and each plays all the same media. IMO the 4th gen does not have enough "value added" if you can get a 3rd gen for $50 less

Thanks for everyone's feedback.
I had been reading reviews of the 4G Nano on Amazon, and the number one issue that owners seemed to be having was the lack of compatibility with their existing accessories that worked with earlier generation iPods.

I am pretty ticked my 4G nano doesn't charge with my Apple HiFi... actually I am really ticked.
But, I love the nano itself... I really do. I had a 3g nano for about a month last year and ended up not liking it. The shape, feel, chrome back... just did not like it. I returned it and went back to a 2g nano which I loved. This is the (almost) perfect upgrade to the 2g nano. I'm happy with it overall and for me the battery life has not been an issue.

I do NOT like the accelerometer, but other than that have no problems with my 4G. I never bought the 3G Nano because the form factor just did not feel good in my hand, but have the mini and a 1G nano, which I still love; I just needed more storage. I really see no improvement over the 1G except for ease of finding a particular song and the glass screen does seem scratchproof. If the form factor and storage work for you, get the 3G.
|Oct 13, 2008, 06:36 AM
before picking up my 4th gen nano, I was very concerned about all the posts regarding its 'annoying' accelerometer etc etc, but since buying one I have found that it almost never causes issue, and the battery life goes for a good 24h so what more would you really need?
Personally I never liked the 3rd gen nano, it just seemed so squat and unbalanced. Some of my friends loved the shape though, so i guess its (like most things) up to personal preference. Try and check one out in a store if you can.
PS, the new colours are imo much better than the old if that matters to you

There's also the issue of size I guess. The new nano isn't much thinner (and it's taller), but it's noticeably lighter; I could feel the difference handling them both at the store. so if you wanna go for the lightest thing all around, that might be a consideration I suppose
As for getting another brand like 4DThinker said (I read your blog post btw, it was very interesting, it helped tidy up some of my own thoughts on the matter ) I guess that might not be such an interesting option to someone running mac. I mean I already use itunes to listen to my music on the computer, so it won't bother me to use it to load up the player; so the second reason is kinda out with mac users maybe?
Then, no radio isn't bothersome to me at least--I used to be a big fan of the radio, but in the last few years it's become a disgrace at least where I am, every station full of incessant stupid ads, silly talk often over the songs, and the same playlist of a few dozen songs over and over again. If I never even tune in at home anymore, what are the odds that I will when I'm on the street? after all, if I need it to keep up with the world, I can get the headphones with the radio remote on them, for the rare occasions where I want that extra. I mean, when portable tape players or cd players were the standard for personal music listening, most of them DIDN'T have built-in radio, especially the stuff by better brands.
Same for colors--there's enough to choose from, and I thought maybe Apple did that because they couldn't otherwise change them enough to make a big difference from previous gens, but I don't mind; I'm not gonna say it's a company's fault if they have lots of colors just 'cause I'm too indecisive to make a choice lol. 'sides, I found it pretty easy to pick one: I definitely like the green more than all the others. Sure, I like all colors but I only need one, so I'm set. I'll enjoy the others by gawking at them every time I stop by the electronics store
Non-expandable memory. Okay, that might have been an issue for a bit, but then two things occurred to me:
1) the memory, probably under the form of a little card, would have to go somewhere--ie, there would need to be a slot for a card etc. This would a) compromise the compactness of the nano (where would they stick it? not much space, especially this year with the bezeled edges) b) provide yet another place for paperclips and bits of dust and debris to enter the ipod even if it has one of those rubber port covers (they have managed to keep open parts to the minimum with just the dock and headphone port, with the latter not being as much of an issue as it's normally kept covered by your earphones which I believe goes a long way to help making such a small device so sturdy) and c) it would look seriously tacky. Which is an issue when you see the thing maybe 20 times a day like I do. The way I know it would look tacky is that every single portable device I have seen it on, even many with an overall sound design in terms of looks, looks tacky on that part. And while apple are generally famous for makign beautiful things where other manufacturers have used the same technology and come up with something fugly, I think a memory expansion slot would be a challenge even to Apple's designers
2) Is this capability really needed? Basically, no. I think one needs to make a decision; if it is likely you will need to expand your memory in the 3 or so years you're going to keep this thing, then maybe you're buying the wrong size in the first place, and you really need an ipod touch (32gb, 64gb) or even go up to the classic, which currently has more storage than the hard drive on my macbook; I'm a music geek, coming from a family of such, and I'm willing to bet that if I put all our music together (yards of shelved records and cds), it still wouldn't quite fill 120gb.
Okay long post I know lol. It's just that I'm actually kind of trying to figure out the same thing as RainMeister (in my case though, I did quite like the form factor of the 3gen nano), so I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row, hence the long post. I guess I'm kinda thinking aloud or rather in writing , but I thought I'd hit 'submit reply all the same as it might be of some use to someone else (hey you never know!)

Refresh Tears Lubricant Eye Drops instantly moisturizes and relieves dry, irritated eyes with a fast-acting, long-lasting formula that has many of the same healthy qualities as your own natural tears. For the temporary relief of burning, irritation, and discomfort due to the dryness of the eye or exposure to wind or sun. May be used as a protectant against further irritation.
Active Ingredients
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium (0.5% - Eye Lubricant)
Inactive Ingredients
Boric Acid, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Water (Purified), Purite (stabilized oxychloro complex), Sodium Borate, Sodium Chloride, May Contain (+/-):
Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed.
These eye drops moisturizes for greater comfort. These are very good lubricant drops for soft contact lenses users. These are my favorite drops. Nowadays these drops are hard to find in stores, i got these drops from myotcstore.
May cost more than others but are in a separate class!! One drop in each dry eye feels so good and lubricates them much better than other brands. My opthamologist recommended them.
My doctor recommended these to me, giving me a sample, and sending me on my way. I have since purchased them, and have been quite happy with their effectiveness. They are long-lasting.Relief is felt immediately.It should be noted that when the drops are first placed in the eye, some blurriness may occur. This is due to the contents of the drops, which include glycerine, an oily whetting solution often used in soap and cosmetics. The blurriness clears up very quickly, though, and is no real cause for concern.
This product is very effective and gentle. I have chronic dry eyes & have used more expensive brands. However, I have been very pleased with the Advanced brand and intend to continue using it.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a new year and the opportunity to do new and exciting things.
If you have a website or blog, this is the perfect time to think about your goals for 2014. What are you already doing that works? What do you need to do more of (or less of) to be successful? Where do you want to be a year from now?
Here are 10 things you can think about today that will help make your website better in 2014.
1. Get a professional design.
You knew this one was coming, right? I've talked at length about how to choose a designer without ending up with a designer who sucks, how to avoid being scammed, how much you should expect to pay for a design, and even how to get a great-looking site without hiring someone. The fact is, no matter what niche you're in or how you present your content, the way your site looks is important.
Don't fool yourself – a logo made in PicMonkey and slapped on a free WordPress theme is not professional and it never will be. Instead of fretting about the cost, think about the benefits of solid branding, a polished experience for visitors, and the increased potential for your site in 2014.
2. Make sure your site is secure.
2013 was full of tweets, blog posts, and news articles about hacked WordPress sites. If you talk to many other bloggers or business owners, I'm sure you know someone who has been hacked, stolen, and/or injected with malware. Don't let it happen to you!
Below are just a few ways to improve your site's security in 2014:
- Install a security plugin. I recommend iThemes Security or Wordfence.
- Don't use "admin" as your username. That's like telling a burglar where to find the spare key!
- Use strong passwords. Here's a tip: A strong password is not your dog's name plus the year you graduated high school.
3. Make backups.
This one is a no-brainer, right? Surely you're already doing this! (Except 75% of my clients aren't, so I doubt the rest of you are much different.)
BACK. UP. YOUR. SITES. There is no way I can emphasize this enough.
Do not assume that your host, server admin, tech support person, or web designer makes regular backups of your site. Do not trust that your site will always be "fine" and that you'll never need a backup. Do not assume that a database backup is enough to restore your site. And do not store backups inside your hosting account because they won't do you a bit of good if your server crashes or your hosting account is compromised.
Do yourself a favor and get BackupBuddy. Yes, it's a little expensive, but it's easy to configure, syncs with Dropbox and Amazon S3 and a number of other storage services, and creates full backups of your entire site that you can restore by running a simple script. You will never regret having a reliable, well-supported backup solution that works.
4. Write better content.
How was your traffic in 2013? How about engagement and social shares for your blog posts? If these aspects were lacking, maybe it's time to review your content strategy for the new year.
Wait, what's that? You don't have a content strategy and you're just kind of winging it? Writing random posts that pop into your head? Posting diary entries that don't inform, entertain, OR educate? Perhaps that's why you aren't happy with your traffic and/or engagement – you aren't writing content that makes people want to come back.
A relevant intermission from The Oatmeal:
5. Get a better host.
Raise your hand if your sites are hosted with Bluehost, HostGator, GoDaddy, or another big name host that you chose because some other blogger said they were awesome (and gave you a handy affiliate link to use when you signed up).
Now raise your other hand if your load times, uptime, and site performance have been kind of sucky throughout 2013. Oh wow, a lot of you have both hands up. Interesting!
The good news is, you aren't stuck with a host that doesn't meet your needs. Even if you prepaid for 2 or 3 years in advance, as is common with Bluehost. Check your hosting company's terms of service – you are generally entitled to a prorated refund if you cancel. Which means you can go find a better host and stop putting up with a slow, laggy site that's down every five minutes.
I won't even recommend a particular host, lest I come across as biased. Just avoid GoDaddy, 1and1, any hosting company owned by EIG, and any host that looks like it's run by a guy in his mom's basement, and you'll be just fine.
6. Audit your plugins.
While you shouldn't be afraid of plugins, there's also such a thing as overindulgence. Go through your site's plugins to see what you need and what you don't. Get rid of any inactive ones. Replace any that haven't been updated in the last year. Lose the ones that aren't working the way you thought they would and take a few minutes to find something better.
If your site takes forever to load and you aren't sure why, install the P3 Profiler plugin and run a scan. It will show you exactly which plugins are dragging down your site most, giving you a great opportunity to get rid of them and/or replace them. (And yes, I'm aware that I'm telling you to install a plugin in order to get rid of plugins. But trust me on this.)
7. Set some goals.
What is your website's purpose? What do you want to do in 2014 that you haven't done in 2013? Do you dream of opening your own business? Getting a book deal? Writing for a major website or publisher? Now is the time to make decisions that will get you closer to those goals!
Whatever you do, don't tell yourself you can't. I just finished my second year of running a semi-successful company and I never could have done it if I wasted time on "can't." Instead, start focusing on what you CAN do, right here at the beginning of 2014, to reach whatever goals you may set for yourself, whether they're business goals, personal goals, or both.
8. Diversify your content.
The internet has become a very exciting place in the last few years. Back in my day (puts in teeth, takes arthritis medicine) you had to have a ton of resources to get into things like online video. Thanks to technology, though, that's no longer the case!
Maybe you want to start a podcast in 2014 or post some YouTube videos. Maybe you want to start making your own images for your blog posts. Maybe you want to try a Google Hangout where you can chat with readers and/or other bloggers in real time. People love seeing more from their favorite bloggers and business owners than paragraph after paragraph of text on a screen – this is a great time to try new things and see what sticks. (Speaking of which, I recently worked through my own paranoia and posted my first YouTube tutorial – feel free to laugh at my accent here.)
9. Make it easy for people to find you.
There are a lot of opinions out there about what, where, and how to share online. Some people, like my good friend Jeni (@theblogmaven), recommend removing or minimizing your "follow me" icons to focus on building your email list. Some will tell you to limit your social accounts to the few you like most, while others (like Pat Flynn) think you should "be everywhere."
I don't really care how you choose to engage with your audience. It makes no difference to me. But make sure whatever methods you use are obvious and easy for people to find. If you want me to use your contact form, put up a contact page with a link in your menu. If you want me to email you, put your email address on your site! If you want me to follow you on Twitter (I'm @nutsandbolts by the way – I love Twitter!), put an icon or link or button somewhere.
10. Learn from smart people.
They say you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So if that's the case, it seems to me you have three choices:
- You can spend time with people who know less than you, making you the smartest in the group. But where do you go to learn anything new?
- You can spend time with people who know as much as you, meaning the playing field is fairly level. But how do you ever get better?
- You can spend time with people who are smarter than you, making you the dumbest in the group. And you will work your butt off every single day not to be the dumbest in the group anymore.
If you don't have a mastermind group, mentor, or go-to guru, I urge you to make that your #1 priority in 2014. Don't expect people to give you their time for free – it's cool when that happens, but it's not always possible. Instead, seek out relationships that will challenge you to blog better, run your business better, and just be better in the new year, even if you're paying for them.
That doesn't mean you should shun those who aren't where you are; it just means you should make every day worthwhile. And that might mean helping others at times and helping yourself at other times. Honestly, that's probably the best balance you could hope for in 2014 – making the internet a better place to learn, work, play, and live.
What are you hoping to accomplish with your website in 2014? Are you ready for a new year to begin, or do you still have some planning left to do?

Barcelona wanted to sell Ronaldinho to Manchester City, admits AC Milan's representative in negotiations, Enzo Bronzetti.
"This was the most difficult negotiation I have ever overseen," said the FIFA agent and expert on Spanish transfers.
He was in the decisive meetings between Milan general manager Adriano Galliani, Barcelona President Joan Laporta and agent Roberto De Assis.
"Barcelona had decided to sell Ronaldinho to Manchester City for £25m against the £15.8m offered by the Rossoneri.
"Their plan was to hand Samuel Eto'o to Milan for that sum instead. But at the end of the day, it all went well."

Life Fitness Introduces New ParaBody 220 Gym System; 220 Gym System provides a total-body workout in a space-efficient format.
FRANKLIN PARK, Ill.--(BW HealthWire)--April 4, 2001
Life Fitness, the leading manufacturer of a full line of cardiovascular and strength training equipment, today under its ParaBody brand launched the ParaBody 220 Gym System. With its sleek new design, the gym fits conveniently into a six-foot by four-foot space yet offers numerous exercises for an effective total-body workout.
"The 220 Gym System, which provides a variety of intuitive total-body exercise options, is very space-efficient, simple-to-use and a great value," said Dave Gibbons, vice president of marketing, Life Fitness.
The Variable Arc press station (patent pending) on the 220 Gym System presents users with more options to exercise chest, arm, shoulder and back muscles. In its standard position, the press arm provides a traditional fixed path of motion used on conventional home gyms. By simply releasing a pull-pin, each press handle rotates horizontally to change the movement to a natural converging chest press and pec fly. The extended arm pec fly adds chest exercise variety in a safe joint-neutral path of motion that more closely mimics a dumbbell fly movement.
The gym offers two unique seated rowing exercises as well - using an overhand or underhand grip - that comfortably add rear deltoid and upper and lower back movements for ideal muscular balance with the chest exercises. An ankle strap is also standard for hip abduction, adduction and extension exercises.
Ergonomic Design
The pressing and rowing movements are designed to optimally mimic the body's natural path of motion and strength profile, reducing stress on the joints and resulting in a more comfortable, biomechanically correct feel. The handles used for pushing exercises are larger to disperse force more evenly throughout the hand, while the handles used in pulling exercises are smaller for a more secure and comfortable grip.
The ergonomically designed lat bar, which can be used for lat pulldowns, triceps pressdowns and biceps curls, promotes joint-neutral movements. In addition, ergonomic seat pads give maximum support and comfort without impeding movement.
Additional Features
The design of the new 160-pound weight stack features a more stable headplate, which translates to a more smooth, gliding feel. The weight stack pin can be adjusted from either side and features a commercial-quality `T'-handled tethered selector pin. A 50-pound add-on kit and a leg press are optional.
Each gym comes with a wall chart illustrating starting and finishing positions for all major exercises and provides proper form descriptions for each.
Currently available at authorized specialty fitness dealers worldwide, the 220 Gym System has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,099. It has a lifetime warranty on the frame, welds and parts, and three years on the pads and cables. For more information or to locate the nearest dealer, call toll-free 1-866-PARABODY or visit www.parabody.com.
ParaBody Gym Line Changes
The introduction of the 220 Gym System is one element in Life Fitness' efforts to enhance its ParaBody line of home gym systems.

In case you were not aware, this Spring (of 2015) new Obamagration policies will go into effect on behalf of immigrants wishing to enter the United States of America. Although some consider Obama's recent actions on immigration policy as dictatorial in the form of an unconstitutional power grab, immigrants seeking entry into the United States don't care about the illegality of Barack Obama's actions and seek to take advantage of the new US immigration policies as soon as possible.
Immigration lawyers in Houston, and nationwide, are at the end of their seats waiting on the date when the new DACA and DAPA plans will be implemented, at which point, an expected flood of immigration applications are expected to be sent to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Immigration Lawyer – Houston, Texas
One can understand why 11 immigrate to the United States and especially to the Houston area considering its vibrant economy and professional possibilities available to our newest friends and neighbors.
Houston Immigration & Citizenship Attorney
If you need to talk with an attorney that can help you with the immigration process there are number of Houston immigration attorneys who are willing to help you. Make sure to take action as soon as possible so you can get ahead of the stampede of people looking to make their way into the United States of America post Obamagration implementation.

Convenient & clean & relatively newPosted Apr 16, 2015
Traveling in 3 person, request for an extra bed with breakfast, room size is good enough for that, roof to floor window is nice, overlooking Tianmen mountain. Located at the roundabout with one road lead to airport, one lead to the cablecar station & train station nearby & the other go to the city/walking street. Breakfast is Chinese food mostly, with some Korean dishes which is ok with me. Overall, value for the money

the room is nice, quite clean. The Chinese restaurant serves nice dinner too. However, breakfast served in the Western restaurant doesn't look hygienic enough.

Ett hotell som levererar!Posted Nov 7, 2014 on Hotels.com
Detta hotell var över förväntningarna! Kan verkligen rekommendera det till alla! Cool lobby och fräscha rum! Plus och minus: + Stora rymliga rum + Bra personal som kan engelska + Nära till bergen + En hel våning med bara massa karaoke rum som man kan hyra. Ingår även dricka! + Fräscht! -Food court, känns tattigt då allt annat är så fint. Har inga västerländska alternativ heller. - Frukosten var ingen höjdare, maten hade ganska låg standard. Men KFC och Mc donalds fanns som tur var! Kommer jag någonsin dit igen kommer jag välja detta hotell igen!

Do not stay unless you either speak Chinese or have your guide to hand. As the only restaurant does not have a menu but relies upon you choosing the food from counter and them telling them how you would like it cooked (the food was very good and great value) The breakfast room, I can only described as madness, we gave up. The bed was like sleeping on the floor

Not for foreign travelers. The front desk still uses fax for reservations and hadn't received our booking because their business desk was closed for two days due to a holiday weekend closure. It took an hour for us to convince them we would not use our credit card to make a 'deposit' so we could use the rooms. The toilet in one room reeked of an awful smell. The furniture is worn out and stained. The breakfast only has eggs and toast as options for foreign travelers and the 'gourmet' restaurant is a misnomer. This is a 3 star property at best.

Un peu décevantPosted Jun 19, 2014 on Hotels.com
Cet hôtel se trouve à 3 km de l'aéroport et 1 km du téléphérique qui monte vers le temple de Tianmen, mais deux heures de routes de la célèbre fôret d'Avatar. Cependant le personnel parle peu ou pas anglais ce qui nous a un peu surpris pour une hôtel "international" et la moquette de la chambre était parsemée de brûlure de cigarettes. Sinon la chambre est maintenue propre.

Most likely "best" city Hotel in ZhangjiajiePosted Oct 10, 2013
Pros: the twin bed rooms are very spacious and with all standard comfort
Cons: the hotel needs renovation work, a pool, better international food, front desk staff capable to communicate in English
Location: foot walk away from city center/rope way base station of Zhangjiajie, Tianmen mountains are so impressive that the hotel condition becomes unimportant
The hotel has obviously seen better times in the past - needs renovation works in many areas. The front desk personal and staff in the restaurants are incapable to speak one single word English. The so called "international" restaurant is normally closed/lights out; only if foreigners are coming they prepare some desks. The "international" menue is an illusion, most meals from the card are not available, what is available is made from a cook who never has learned to prepare international food. In our visit the hotel was mainly filled with bus package tour tourist of lowest thinkable educational level, the hotel staff has hard times to clean the breakfast room afterwards.....we were the only foreigners in this hotel at that time. The hotel has no pool. The city center of Zhangjiajie is only a 300 m foot walk away but in preparation for to be demolished completely; the old quarters are with faceless appearance and not worth to be visited. As well the rope way (cable car) base station for Tianmen Mountains is only in a foot walk distance from the hotel, early appearance there is required, later in the morning waiting time can be > 3 hours...... The hotel has a small shop inside with partly interesting stuff. The hotel has a nice view either to the river or even better to the Tianmen mountain side, but in our visit the whole time thick smog filled the valley with very short range of visibility. Especially the twin bed standard rooms are very complete and spacious, recommenda

Nice hotel close to Tienmen Shan.Posted Sep 13, 2013
Pros: It is conveniently located, near Tien Men Shan. There is a good travel agent in the hotel where we got our tickets for the show.
Cons: The checking in process. Since we have stayed in the hotel, there is no need to photocopy our passport again. This will speed up the checking in
The receptionists are friendly and helpful but a bit slow during check in. We booked online for one night but decided to stay on for another night. Overall, a nice hotel.

Hysterical toy
posted 6 years ago
My dogs love these toys. They are very appealing to the humans in the family because of the humorous slant. It's fun to see the fat cats get chewed on. This company also makes very durable dog toys. I have some that are several years old and have no holes or rips in them.
Pros: Durable, appealing
Cons: none

WILMER C. GLENNY, D.O. BELLAIRE, MI - Dr. Wilmer C. Glenny, 90, of Bellaire, MI, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2014, at Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility. Bill or "Doc", as known to most, was born on December 21, 1923, in Rockford, IL, the son of Percy and Mamie (Bertchie) Glenny. After graduating from West High School in Rockford, in 1942, he began his college education at
Beloit College
in Beloit, WI. After one year, he left college to serve our country in
World War II
as a medic in the 44th Infantry Division, 119th Medical Battalion. Before leaving for the war, he married his high school sweetheart, Clara Lou Stiles. They were married for 62 years at the time of her death in 2006. After serving in France, Austria and Germany, Bill returned and resumed his education. He received his degree and then taught math and science at Winslow High School for two years. His experiences during the war gave him the desire to become a physician. After graduating from Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery in 1954, and upon completing an internship in Traverse City, MI, he started his medical practice in Bellaire. He loved being a doctor and serving the community at his Bellaire Clinic and later as a part of Burns Clinic until he retired in 1988. Even in retirement, he continued to see patients in the summer for the next 10 years. He was an FAA Flight Examiner for more than 25 years and was honored to be an Assistant Clinical Professor for
Michigan State University
College of Osteopathic Medicine. Bill had a love of music. He started singing in high school and continued being a member of various choirs throughout his life. He also played the tuba and string bass with local bands in Charlevoix and East Jordan well into his 80's. Bill was a member of "Windjammers", an international organization of musicians who gathered twice a year to perform, record and preserve traditional circus music. While in Sarasota, FL, he played with the Shriners Band. Many of Bill's days were spent boating, being on or near the water and sailboat racing on "Peregrine" with his crew and son, Jeff. He and Clara Lou traveled extensively over the years for both business and pleasure. They were able to see all the contiguous 48 states and much of Canada in their motorhome. Bill also enjoyed gardening and woodworking. A fishing pole was always within reach and he even caught three fish from his wheelchair at the Meadow Brook pond only eight days before his death. Bill was a member of the American Legion Post #247, Bellaire Lions Club, Bellaire Masonic Lodge, Shriners International, Bellaire Community United Methodist Church and the Michigan Osteopathic Association. Survivors include his children, Karen (Bob) Joslyn of Grosse Pointe Farms, MI, Barbara (Tom) Naumes of Bellaire, Mary Beth (Mark) Arwady of Algonac, MI, and Jeffrey (Katie) Glenny of Charlevoix, MI; grandchildren, Wendy (Derek) Pilling of Cherry Hills Village, CO, Bryan Naumes of Bellaire, Rob (Natasha) Joslyn of Centennial, CO, Scott (Darcy) Naumes of Bellaire, Bethany (Jason) Smith of Traverse City, and Grace and Charlie Glenny of Charlevoix; great-grandchildren, Sophia, Anna and Reid Pilling, Emilia Joslyn, and Dylan and Clara Smith; and sisters-in-law, Marguerite Glenny of Rockford, IL, and May Stiles of Albuquerque, NM; along with many beloved nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind the many new friends he made at Meadow Brook who took such loving and wonderful care of him over the past year. He will be missed as well by his little dog, BB. Dr. Glenny was predeceased by his parents, his beloved wife, Clara Lou, and his brother, Bob Glenny. Please join us in celebrating Bill's life. A memorial service will be held at the Bellaire Community United Methodist Church at 11 a.m. Friday, July 18th. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made in his name to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief, 1800 East Grand River Ave., Lansing, MI, 48912 or the Antrim County Commission on Aging, Box 614, Bellaire, MI 49615-0614.

Watching this — and particularly the final minutes — makes me want to get my guitar out again and get serious. But then again, watching this — and particularly the last minutes — intimidates me so much that I see little point.
I would gladly give up any number of wasted hours doing futile and pointless battle with often ridiculous and unteachable internet critics to be able to play like this.
Some out there have heard me mention the film project that Bill Hamblin and I have laughed about over the years, and that we'll never actually do: Bill and Dan's Excellent Adventure in Anti-Mormon Zombie Hell.

One thing that we can be sure about next season is that there will be injuries. If we learned anything from this postseason, it's that you can never have enough depth, because you never know when the injuries will begin to mount. It was one area that Slats worked very diligently to address this offseason, and he did a mighty fine job at doing so.
For the sake of this post, we are going to assume a few things:
- The entire roster is healthy. The point is to see who would be the first call up following an injury from a roster at full strength, then work our way down.
- Arron Asham and Darroll Power will be in the AHL. It's a cap thing and a roster space thing at this point. The same goes for Aaron Johnson.
- Chris Kreider makes the opening day roster. J.T. Miller, Oscar Lindberg, and the other kids people might have penciled in, do not.
- No trades from now until the season starts.
These aren't exactly ground-breaking assumptions, just things we have been able to infer from the roster moves so far.
Dominic Moore/Taylor Pyatt/Derek Dorsett – One of these three will be the 13th forward, so in all likelihood they will be the first person inserted into the lineup in case of injury. This one's a no-brainer.
Arron Asham/Darroll Powe – This one is less of a given, because you never know what the Rangers will choose to do with waivers. That said, I find it to be more likely that one of these two will be recalled if there is an injury to a bottom-six player, specifically a fourth line player. Considering the roles they would have with the team, if someone like Dorsett gets hurt, I can envision Asham getting the call. If it's someone else, then Powe will get the call.
Micheal Haley (update by Dave, 10:30am) – I completely forgot about Haley, but I would have to assume he gets the call before Mashinter, since he has more NHL experience. I still think that Asham and/or Powe are the first call ups, then Haley if need be.
Brandon Mashinter – Mash is a toss-up. He would bring a nice physical edge to the lineup, but he's behind Asham in the call up pecking order. Mashinter's call up would only be required if there are multiple injuries, or a few players forget how to play hockey. If one of Asham/Powe gets moved/hurt, then Mashinter probably jumps up the list a bit. Of course, this is dependent on how he plays in the AHL.
J.T. Miller – Like Mash, Miller is a toss-up. I can see him getting a call up if a top-nine guy is hurt and they want to see how much Miller has progressed. They won't stick him on the fourth line, that's one thing we can count on. But also like Mash, Miller will only get a call up if he deserves it. That wrist injury is a cause for concern too.
Danny Kristo/Jesper Fast/Oscar Lindberg – This trio won't get a cuppa right away. The Rangers need to evaluate what they have, evaluate how they adjust to the pro (or North American) game, and see how they play in the AHL. Each of these three remind me of Ryan McDonagh. The Rangers wanted to see what they had, and he dominated in the AHL for half a season before getting recalled.
Justin Falk – Falk is likely the 7th defenseman, so he will get inserted into the lineup in case of injury. He's also the best option they have in terms backup defensemen, so this isn't a surprise. If the very large (6'5″, 215-lb) can keep his feet moving, then he could be a long-term injury replacement if need be.
Danny Syvret/Aaron Johnson – These two vets are the 8th and 9th defensemen on this team, although the order is yet to be determined. If the Rangers are penny-pinching, then Johnson gets the first call because he's on a one-way deal. Syrvet's AHL salary is $275k, which is $325k less than Johnson's AHL salary ($600k). Since this isn't a team that is known for penny-pinching, let's assume that the player having the better AHL season will get the call first.
Dylan McIlrath – McIlrath is a tricky case. Last season was a setback because of that gruesome knee injury, but he came back strong. This is actually a big year for the defenseman, as he needs to show that he can overcome his injury last season and learn from Jeff Beukeboom this season. If McIlrath progresses nicely and has a strong season, you could see him get a cuppa towards the end of the season.
Stu Bickel – I kind of feel bad for Bickel. He was seen as the Mike Sauer replacement during his first stint with the Rangers, but his skating was exploited very quickly, and it's something he either hasn't worked on or hasn't had the chance to work on. That said, unless his skating improves, he will be in the AHL for a bit.
Conor Allen – The club needs to see what they have in Allen. They could have a solid guy who shows he can play at the pro level, or they could have an ECHL guy. I wouldn't expect him to get a cuppa this season, but performance can change all that.
Cam Talbot – The list begins and ends with Talbot. If the Rangers need to go searching for someone beyond him, then they are in deep, deep trouble.
The common theme with the call ups, aside from the shoo-ins like Asham, Powe, Johnson, and Syrvet, is that it is all performance based. Last year, we saw a roster spot handed to Kreider even though his AHL performance didn't warrant it. We also saw J.T. Miller get a cuppa, but his cuppa lasted about 15 games too long due to depth issues. The Rangers won't make these mistakes again.

Scioto County Court of Common Pleas Judge William T. Marshall, on Wednesday, sentenced a Portsmouth man to 14 years in prison for trafficking, possession, conspiracy to traffic and tampering with evidence involving heroin. Ronald E. Gavin, 33, formerly of Boundary Street in Portsmouth was convicted Wednesday afternoon after a two and a half day jury trial.
The jury head from several State's witnesses who testified they had been buying from Gavin during the summer months. Gavin had told his buyers that the drugs came from Chicago leading to his street name of "Ill-town" in reference to Illinois. Several of the the users of Gavin's heroin testified he sold the strongest heroin in Portsmouth. One indicated she had overdosed on Gavin's heroin three times in one week.
Gavin's indictment came after Probation Officers and Portsmouth Police searched his apartment on Boundary Street. Police found 97 grams of heroin in a vehicle at the residence that had been driven by Gavin earlier in the day.
The State's case was presented by Prosecutor Mark Kuhn and Assistant Prosecutor Julie Hutchinson. The lead investigator for the Portsmouth Police Department was Sargent Steve Timberlake.
"This arrested and conviction reflects the excellent cooperation between the Adult Probation and Police Departments," Said Kuhn.
The Prosecutor's Office said Gavin had six prior felony drug convictions in Illinois and Ohio. Marshall sentenced Gavin to the maximum sentence for his crimes.

Talented teams of the '90s quite different than today
Should a sale go through, whoever buys the Padres from John Moores would be lucky to get a Padres club as talented as the one Moores bought in late 1994.
True, when Moores took control, the Padres were coming off a 47-70 season. They also ranked last in major league attendance, averaging fewer than 17,000 at then-Jack Murphy Stadium.
But the club was rich in emerging, inexpensive baseball talent.
The treasures included a deep and young cast of accurate power pitchers, several position players who would become All-Stars – one of them a first-ballot Hall of Famer – a few valuable prospects and even future stars on the scouting staffs.
Among the starting pitchers were Andy Ashby, Joey Hamilton, Andy Benes and swingman Scott Sanders. Not only was each right-hander entering his prime years, all four would assist the Padres in the trade market after contributing on the mound.
Relief pitching was also a strength. Trevor Hoffman, then 27 and blessed with a high-speed fastball, was in the midst of becoming a dominant closer. Also awaiting Moores were several budding relievers – notably Doug Bochtler, Bryce Florie and swingman Tim Worrell – who along with Hoffman would form the spine of a bullpen that in 1996 led the National League in ERA.
In right field was 34-year-old Tony Gwynn, cheaply under contract and destined for the Hall of Fame.
The catcher was Brad Ausmus. For the Padres he would disappoint, but during the '96 season the future All-Star, along with shortstop Andujar Cedeno, would attract shortstop Chris Gomez and catcher John Flaherty in a vital trade.
Before Moores signed off on his purchase of the Padres, General Manager Randy Smith had arranged a blockbuster deal that would bring third baseman Ken Caminiti and center fielder Steve Finley, two future All-Stars.
All that was needed was approval from Moores and his chief executive, Larry Lucchino. Wisely, they gave it.
The 1995 player payroll was a mere $21 million, and within two years, both Caminiti and Finley agreed to economical extensions.
The farm system wasn't strong, but within its ranks were future major leaguers such as Derrek Lee, Matt Clement and Gary Matthews Jr., each of them drafted by Reggie Waller in 1993. Lee would become the key piece to a trade that brought ace Kevin Brown.
To this day, the Padres of Moores have yet to produce a homegrown position player as productive as Lee, who would help the Marlins win the 2003 World Series.
The Padres of 1994 also employed scouts who would go on to big things, among them Logan White, whose draft record with the Dodgers this decade is among the majors' best, and Dave Finley, who would push for the Marlins to select Adrian Gonzalez first overall in 2000 and who now is part of the scouting-rich Red Sox.
Moores also inherited a young scouting director, Kevin Towers, who would replace Smith as GM late in 1995. Towers, making use of the talent he inherited, traded for key players such as Brown, Wally Joyner and Greg Vaughn. He also dealt one of his draftees, power reliever Dustin Hermanson, for Quilvio Veras, the second baseman and leadoff man for the Padres team that went to the 1998 World Series.

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In my last article, I wondered how the authors of The Way Forward could completely ignore the role of banks as contributors to our global economic malaise. In this piece, I will look at their recommendations on what needs to be done globally to rectify the situation.
Capital Flows: The authors of the study, Daniel Alpert, Robert Hockett and Nouriel Roubini, or AHR, argue that capital inflows from emerging market countries contributed significantly to the U.S. housing/spending bubble that burst in late 2008. They assert further that a significant portion of those capital inflows came from emerging market governments (primarily China) trying to keep the U.S. dollar strong, so as to give their exporters a competitive advantage. They are critical of "China's continuing policy of pegging the yuan to the dollar."
There are several problems with these assertions.U.S. Capital Inflows: Table 1 gives data on foreign government and private investments in the U.S. for the 2000-2007 period. While foreign governments purchased $1.4 trillion of U.S. government securities during this period, the foreign private sector purchased far more, $3.8 trillion, with most purchases being equities. These figures suggest to me that the Chinese government was not the main driver of what happened during this period. Instead, U.S. dollar investments were attractive worldwide. In short, this global demand for U.S. financial assets was far more important in keeping the U.S. dollar strong than Chinese Treasury purchases. These "portfolio choices" had more to do with what foreigners saw as good investments than efforts to keep the dollar strong. U.S. Policies: To ease the threat of currency appreciation or inflation, central banks often attempt to "sterilize" capital flows. In a successful sterilization operation, the domestic component of the monetary base (bank reserves plus currency) is reduced to offset the reserve inflow. The Fed had the tools via its discount window and open market operations to mop up excess liquidity resulting from capital inflows. They chose not to use them. Other AHR Policy Recommendations: The majority of AHR's other recommendations are directed at least in part at China. Inasmuch as I ran a company with Chinese partners for more than a decade working in Asia, I believe I have a pretty good sense of how Chinese authorities would view the AHR suggestions. Consequently, my comments below reflect my sense of how China thinks.

SAC's Steve Cohen Is Said to Be Bidding for Los Angeles Dodgers
Dec. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire hedge-fund manager Steve Cohen is bidding for the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a person familiar with the effort, his second try this year to buy at least a piece of a Major League Baseball team.
Cohen, 55, who runs the $14 billion SAC Capital Advisors LLC in Stamford, Connecticut, is working with Steve Greenberg, a managing director at Allen & Co., and has hired the architectural firm Populous to look at the possible renovation of Dodger stadium, said the person, who was granted anonymity because the sale process is confidential. He's also met with sports agent Arn Tellem, the person said.
Tellem may end up running the team if Cohen is successful in his bid, according to the Los Angeles Times, which reported the story earlier.
Jonathan Gasthalter, a spokesman for Cohen, declined to comment. Tellem and Greenberg didn't return e-mails seeking a comment. Executives of Kansas City, Missouri-based Populous, whose offices are closed for the holidays, couldn't be reached.
Cohen isn't the only bidder said to be eyeing the Dodgers. Guggenheim Partners Chief Executive Officer Mark Walter said this month than he was joining with Basketball Hall of Fame member Magic Johnson to bid for the team.
The Dodgers, who have won six World Series championships, filed for bankruptcy on June 27. Last month, Frank McCourt, the team's owner, agreed to sell. Bids are due on Jan. 13. At the time of the bankruptcy, sports bankers said the Dodgers may fetch up to $1 billion.
Mets Bid
Cohen bid this year for a minority stake in the New York Mets. Another hedge-fund manager, David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital Inc., won the bid, but the two parties later walked away from the deal.
The Mets' principal owners, Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz, are in a legal battle with the trustee in charge of recovering money for investors in Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme. The team got a $25 million loan from Major League Baseball a year ago, and the New York Times said this month that the franchise received a $40 million bridge loan made available through Bank of America Corp.
The Mets lost $70 million in 2011, General Manager Sandy Alderson told reporters at baseball's Winter Meetings this month.

Raheem Brock charged with DUI
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Raheem Brock has been charged with drunken driving, more than a year after he was pulled over and accused of driving 85 to 90 mph on Interstate 5.
The King County prosecutor's office charged the 33-year-old in district court, where he is due to be arraigned Dec. 21.
A state trooper's report says Brock was stopped by a University of Washington police officer early on Nov. 13, 2010, and that a breath test showed his blood-alcohol content to be nearly twice the legal limit.
The report says Brock asked the trooper, ''You guys don't take care of your athletes out here?'' Brock reportedly said that whenever he was pulled over in Chicago, New Jersey and Philadelphia, police just followed him home.
Brock's attorney, Jon Scott Fox, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

The Campaign for SOC: Communication Leadership for a New Era
from American University on Vimeo.
Construction on SOC's New Home Officially Begins
On behalf of the American University community, I am proud to share some exciting news. On June 25th, Sigal Construction, a local contractor known for its commitment to environmental sustainability, began the process of transforming AU's historic McKinley Building into the modern home of the School of Communication (SOC). This milestone brings us one step closer to creating a cutting-edge building that will unite our innovative technological and academic resources, and accelerate our pioneering work in communication education.
As we witness the creation of SOC's new home, the philanthropic support of alumni and friends remains vital to ensuring the building's completion in time for the 2013-14 academic year. Simply put, there is no better time to give than now.
I would like to thank those of you who have stepped forward to help the Campaign for SOC reach this pivotal moment, particularly those who have provided generous philanthropic support to the campaign by naming a space in the new building. A variety of naming opportunities remain, and I encourage you to learn more about how you can join other alumni leaders and friends who have financially supported this effort.
In the coming months, we will hold several campaign-related events across the country, including a special on-campus "Groundbreaking" on Saturday, October 20th during All-American Weekend. Please watch your email for information about this and other events in the coming weeks.
Our goal remains ambitious - and SOC's role in the new era of communication leadership will be defined by what we give today.
Our time is now.

Executive Committee of the American Institute of Physics
Minutes of Meeting
September 27, 1961
Members Present: Ralph A. Sawyer, Chairman; Wallace R. Brode; S. A. Goudsmit; W. W. Havens, Jr.; R. Bruce Lindsay; S. L. Quimby; Francis W. Sears
Guest: Frederick Seitz
AIP Staff Present: Elmer Hutchisson; Wallace Waterfall; Henry A. Barton; Mary M. Johnson
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9:40 a.m.
1. Minutes
Upon motion made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote, the minutes of the meeting of June 9, 1961, were approved as distributed.
2. Financial Statement for Six Months Ended June 30, 1961
Copies of the financial statement were distributed (copy attached) and the Treasurer commented in detail on various items, briefly summarized as follows:
Departmental expenses for the six months and projections to the end of the year are generally in line with the budget.
Subscriptions have increased for all journals this year but not quite as much as expected. All journals except PHYSICS TODAY and the JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS are exceeding their page budgets. This will result in higher costs and lower net income or greater loss for most. It appears advisable to increase publication charges for 1962, and later we will probably recommend increasing some subscription prices for 1963. The anticipated year-end JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS deficit of $8,510 should be noted particularly.
PT expenses continue to rise because of increased circulation and editorial expense and the cost per member has also risen.
Advertising net income for the year should be close to budget and well above the $168,600 for 1960.
Total net income for the year (Page 4 of Statement) should be close to budget.
Accumulated deficit has increased from $96,524 on January 1 to $117,274 at mid-year. This is due mostly to expenditures in connection with our building addition.
AIP net worth on June 30 was $127,819 plus land, building, equipment, and the three special funds.
3. Amendment to Pension Plan
The Secretary described the Institute's Pension Plan which provides for two funds. Fund A is contributed to by both AIP and Plan members and pays a retiring member 1% of his annual compensation multiplied by the number of years employed. Fund B is made up of AIP contributions equal to 5% of members' salaries and is invested in stocks and bonds. As the Plan now stands, each member receives his proportionate share of Fund B in a lump sum on retirement. Such payment would be greatly to the disadvantage of an employee retiring at a time when the stock market was low. Also, the employee would have a disadvantageous tax liability if he retired late in the year. It is proposed that the Plan be amended to provide for three alternatives in the payment of Fund B:
Purchase of an endowment life insurance policy
Periodic payments over a period of not more than 15 years
Payment in a lump sum
The method of payment of Fund B to each individual would have to be at the option of the Pension Committee to maintain favorable tax status but the employee's wishes would be considered.
After brief discussion the following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the AIP Pension Plan be amended to provide alternative methods of payment as recommended and, specifically, as stated in the amendment provided by the Institute attorney. (Copy attached to official minutes.)
4. Election of New Corporate Associate
The Director reported that the following organization had requested to become a Corporate Associate of the Institute and, on motion duly made and carried, it was so elected, effective January 1, 1962:
|Aerojet-General Corporation
The Director stated that we now have 190 Corporate Associates. He said it is customary for the number of new applicants to decline toward the end of the year. There followed a brief discussion as to whether AIP should solicit universities but no conclusions were reached.
5. Member Society-AIP Relations
At the request of the Director, Mr. Brode recounted the experience of the Optical Society in applying to NSF for a grant to initiate a new journal – APPLIED OPTICS. In discussions among AIP, OSA and NSF, questions were raised as to whether a Member Society of the Institute should seek funds for publication independently or whether it should request the Institute's cooperation. NSF indicated reluctance to furnish the financial means for establishing another large scale physics organization which might duplicate some of the functions AIP was set up to perform.
The Director recalled that the Institute was founded to act as agent for the Societies. All publishing was delegated to the Institute at the beginning, and the Publication Board was created to formulate policy. Advertising was centralized and income from it was initially retained by the Institute. As AIP has grown and has sought supplementary funds, conflicts have arisen, and the staff feels it would be appropriate at this time to study the relationship between the Institute and the Societies and to formulate policies concerning the responsibilities of each. Member Societies admittedly have the legal right to be completely autonomous but they should recognize that by so doing they may reduce the effectiveness of the Institute as an agency for joint action.
During the discussion which followed it was recognized that there are undoubtedly some things which the Societies can do better for themselves but there are other things which can be done better through the Institute. It was the consensus that a broad policy study is desirable and the staff will draft a proposal for consideration by the Executive Committee at its next meeting.
6. Report on Building Addition
Authorization for Mortgage and Loans, and Leasing 4th Floor
The Secretary called attention to the excavation and construction on our vacant lot which was started on September 1, and said that the Property Committee had been kept advised of details. Plans for financing the addition to our building are as reported previously, i.e., $350,000 mortgage money from Bankers Trust Company; $40,000 from Dannie Heineman for the Niels Bohr Library, and $220,000 which will be the amount of our Building Reserve by the end of this year. Payments on the mortgage, including amortization of principal and interest, will be about $35,000 per year for 15 years. We plan to discontinue depreciating our building, which we now do at $29,800 per year. We hope to lease the fourth floor of the addition for approximately $15,000 per year for a minimum of five years. Maintenance of our present building, excluding depreciation, amounts to $34,000 per year and we estimate maintenance on the addition will be about $25,000 per year. From these figures we estimate that there will be little increase in the space charge which is distributed on services to Member Societies.
It should be noted that the foregoing scheme for financing our building addition does not include any means of providing for future expansion. It is felt that, after another five years or so, AIP should go to individual members and industry if further expansion is necessary.
The Secretary stated that we will probably need construction loans before we get the mortgage money and Bankers Trust Company has offered us $350,000 at 6% interest on simple notes. Mr. Quimby said that APS might be interested in furnishing construction loans at this rate and Mr. Sears added that AAPT might also be interested. The Secretary stated that AIP would be pleased to accept construction loans from any source.
The following motions were then made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the Executive Committee authorize officers of the Institute to commit the Institute for mortgage and loans from Bankers Trust Company.
MOVED that the Executive Committee authorize the staff to lease the fourth floor of the addition to our building for a term not to exceed five (5) years.
The Director suggested that the Executive Committee and Governing Board might wish to consider holding a dedication ceremony some time after completion of the addition, which is expected to be June 1962. We might wish to invite Niels Bohr and possibly hold the ceremony in the fall, combining it with our annual meeting of Society officers and Corporate Associates.
7. Management Study
The Secretary reported that some years ago a survey of Institute operations was conducted by A. T. Kearney and Company, management consultants. One of the recommendations made by Kearney was an increase in administrative personnel. Some additions have been made but not in proportion to our growth. The Secretary said that, in addition to his duties as Secretary and Treasurer, he has been acting as Manager of Operations and, with our increased activities and staff, he has not been able to give this latter role the attention it deserves. In order to strengthen our management personnel, Gerald F. Gilbert has been employed as administrative assistant to the Secretary and Treasurer. The Secretary gave Mr. Gilbert's background and personal history and stated that his first assignment is to become familiar with all of the operating problems of the Institute, including services performed for member organizations. Eventually he will want to talk with the Secretaries and Treasurers of the Societies to learn how we can serve them more effectively.
8. AIP Staff Changes
The Director reported that the following projects and personnel have been added since the last Executive Committee meeting in June: A project on the Recent History of Physics in the United States under the direction of Dr. W. James King who was formerly with the Smithsonian Institution; a documentation project being carried out by Pauline Atherton with the cooperation of Mr. Robert Howerton who is acting as unpaid consultant. We have received a grant from NSF for a study of manpower statistics and are currently searching for a man to supervise the work. The Visiting Scientists Programs have been taken over by R. W. Lefler who has joined the staff on a leave-of-absence basis from Purdue University. As reported previously, Donald Cunningham, who formerly guided this project is now dividing his time between Student Sections and PT. There followed a brief discussion of limited-term appointments.
9. Committees and Appointments
The Director requested Executive Committee approval of the following committee appointments and, upon motion made, seconded, and passed unanimously, they were approved:
AIP Advisory Committee on Manpower
- Marsh W. White
- Lindsey R. Harmon
- John N. Shive
- Katherine Way
- L. G. Parratt
- Philip M. Morse
AIP Advisory Committee on Public Relations
- Chairman
- Walter Sullivan
- Harry F. Arader
- Harold Renne
- Francis Pray
- John Hastings
AIP Advisory Committee for the Recent History of Physics
- Gerald Holton, Chairman
- Sanborn C. Brown
- Derek J. de Solla Price
- Charles C. Gillispie
- Cyril Stanley Smith
- Hilliard Roderick
- George E. Uhlenbeck
- Thomas S. Kuhn
- R. Bruce Lindsay
- Raymond J. Seeger
In answer to a question, the Director explained that the project on Recent History of Physics is intended to develop source material and information on equipment which has historical significance and to make provision for its preservation. It will not conflict with the Quantum Revolution project but will relate to our new Niels Bohr Library and the Committee will probably assist in selecting and obtaining books for the Library.
Upon motion made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote, the following AIP representatives were appointed by the Executive Committee:
Representative to Scientific Manpower Commission
- Henry A. Barton – term to 12/31/63
Representative to AAAS Council
- Mary E. Warga – term to 1/15/64
Representative to AAAS Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics
- W. C. Kelly
The Director stated that, although it is customary for the Executive Committee to approve appointment of editorial boards for AIP journals at the December meeting, it has been found that this leaves too little time to include the names in print in the January issues. The following motion was made, seconded and passed without dissenting vote:
MOVED that the Director be authorized to appoint editorial boards for AIP journals on recommendation of the editors; such appointments to be confirmed at the Executive Committee meeting in December.
10. Publication Charge on AIP Journals
The Director reported that the number of manuscripts received by JCP is continuing to increase and we expect to have a 3-months' backlog by January even though the page budget was increased during the year. The journal will operate at a deficit and the staff proposes that the page charge be raised from $30 to $40 starting the first of next year. We do not believe such an increase will affect the number of pages received, especially in view of the fact that it is understood the JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY will introduce a page charge, possibly as high as the one we propose.
The Director said that we have been concerned of late about the widespread use of photocopying. If our page charge were to cover the cost of publication up to the point of run off we could be almost independent of circulation and photocopying would not be a matter of such grave concern. The staff proposes also to make a study of the desirability of raising the publication charge for JMP and THE PHYSICS OF FLUIDS as of January 1. After brief discussion, the following motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously:
MOVED that the publication charge for JCP be increased from $30 to $40 per page, effective January 1, 1962; and that the staff be authorized to increase the publication charge for JMP and PF if studies indicate that an increase is necessary.
11. Directors Medal
The Secretary asked the Executive Committee to consider the desirability of providing some memento to retiring Board members in appreciation of their service to the Institute. The staff has obtained cost figures on various types of medals and it is estimated that dies and models would amount to less than $1,000.00. After some discussion it was agreed that the subject be deferred until the next meeting of the Executive Committee.
12. Future Meeting Dates
As previously reported, the next meeting of the Executive Committee will be held on Saturday, December 9, at the offices of the Institute.
The Director read a list of suggested meeting dates for early 1962 and the following were agreed upon:
|Executive Committee
|Friday, January 26 (breakfast – Hotel Statler)
|Annual Meeting
|Friday, February 23
|Executive Committee
|Friday, March 23
|Governing Board
|Saturday, March 24
Some time during the week of September 10 was suggested for a combined meeting of the Governing Board, Society officers, and Corporate Associates.
A date of Friday, June 8, was suggested for a meeting of the Executive Committee but it may not be suitable for all members and it was decided to wait until the next meeting to set the June 1962 meeting date.
The meeting adjourned at 12:15 p.m.

Let's suppose I am doing one roll at a time, in 140ml of working solution. The exhaustion of those 140ml after one roll has been developed in it is much higher than the exhaustion of making, as in Polyglot's example, 2 rolls in 625ml. In my case, it's 140ml per roll. In Polyglot's case, is 312ml per roll. That means the exhaustion should be more than double.
I guess I'll have to experiment, increasing somewhere between 8 and 15 second for each process.
I'll measure the final volumes of each bath the kit provides. I read that somebody uses C-41 developer only once, and somebody only twice. So I think I'll give up on the third process in the same developer since now, and concentrate on organising for "asymmetrical" mixing which is a bit of a nuisance (getting more flasks, pouring from flask to flask, keeping track without making dangerous mistakes).
The Jobo flasks are simply marked as PE. I don't know if they mean HDPE or LDPE. From my notes, developers should be preserved in plastic #1 (PET, PETE) or #3 (PVC), while bleach and fix should be preserved in plastic #2 (HDPE, PE-HD) or #4 (LDPE, PE-LD) where high density is preferable to low density. So the Jobo bottles should be "adequate" for the preservation of bleach and fix, which will allow me to avoid pouring between containers.
The idea is: within 24 hours or so I do all the process (2 or 3, that's to determine) and discard the developer. I'll keep bleach and fix in the Jobo bottles until I make a new process.
I'll go shopping for Jobo flasks.
PS The Rollei Digibase kit is produced by German producer compard (yes, with small case c it appears) according to its instruction manual.

^ Same was here few months ago. I try to use once but did not because of Opera. Not sure how much Opera is important now and should we miss all those great icons because of Opera browser.
Damn, that sucks, they are ubersexy but I'm not gonna give up on them so easily.
Are you hosting the font files on your server or are they located somewhere else? Opera allows to disable referrer and some services which offer these kind of fonts doesn't serve the correct stylesheet if the referrer is wrong/not set
They are on my server. Even locally they won't show. And on the official site is the same. Does't work well with you?
I'm using them on my latest theme without any trouble on Opera (at least on my machine) so don't give up
I don't remind doing anything special to make them work… I grabbed them at fontello.com which is a really useful toll.
Hm… Fontello icons work fine. Will be using those, tnx a lot!
Just to make clear: the icons are from the Entypo set, but I packed them with the fontello.com service. Cheers!
Yeah, got that. Tnx
