Spank Rock
Big Dada
Watching Peaches halfheartedly hump the air in front of some dude's face last month at New York's Bring 'Em Home Now! antiwar concert, it was easy to wonder how much life the underground sex-rap scene has left in it. What's that old adage? "If a Canadian electro satirist can't get excited protesting a war alongside Michael Stipe and Susan Sarandon, trouble is brewing"? What once shocked now plays like shtick; what used to seem encouragingly sex-positive now appears cynical and aimless.
The guys in Spank Rock, a hyped-up East Coast act with ties to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, no doubt disagree. On YoYoYoYoYo, their debut full-length, MC Naeem Juwan and producer Armani XXXchange party like it's 2001, Juwan shouting out the transgressive pleasures known as "ass and boobs" over XXXchange's sliced-and-diced micro-funk. In "Backyard Betty," Juwan reports from an invite-only ass-shaking competition in which the titular champ blows everybody's mind; in a buzz-building early single not included on YoYoYoYoYo, he graciously invited ladies to "put that pussy on me." At first, "Rick Rubin," a hilariously efficient nod to the rap-rock pioneer, appears to part the clouds of testosterone for a brief tutorial on Spank Rock's skillz. But nope—turns out those skillz are the reason you're on Juwan's dick. For the most part, XXXchange matches his partner's lyrical sleaze. He builds a beat atop a wildcat growl in "Touch Me," provides plenty of cowbell in "Bump," and grounds "Sweet Talk" with a sample of exactly that: Juwan repeating, "tap that ass."
So what use is Spank Rock's sex-rap resistance? In their parlance, do they manage to exhume the scene's withering corpse and skull-fuck it back into relevance? Sorta. Juwan's principal asset as an MC is that he raps with the adenoidal excitability of a 12-year-old—supremely creepy when he's describing nutting on Britney Spears's dimple, but helpful in defusing the wack machismo that pervades "Sweet Talk," where he asks a "fine bitch" if she's enjoying the view beneath his boyhood. And XXXchange manages to stave off hipster-nihilist tedium with his inventive production. But that might only constitute progress in a George W. Bush world.

Welcome to the Lynchburg Academy of Medicine (LAM) Web site, sponsored and hosted by the Medical Society of Virginia.
Letter from the President
The relevance of the Lynchburg Academy of Medicine ebbs and flows, but the ongoing dramatic changes in the foundations of the practice of medicine are akin to shifting tectonic plates, creating a broad surge that can approach almost undetected, but carrying an incredible amount of power. Now, more than ever, we must come together as a medical community and be prepared to respond as a cohesive unit. As an organization of physicians that spans primary care to specialists, pediatrics to neurosurgery, new physicians to entrenched practitioners, the Academy's relevance is at high point, but continues to swell.
And so a primary goal in the coming year is to further increase our membership. The Lynchburg Academy of Medicine is in place to bridge together all of the physicians of the community, independent from the boundaries of group practices, hospital affiliations, contracts, or CIEs. Our collective knowledge, our understanding, our resources, and our impact, are all dependent on the depth of our physician participation. We will be actively approaching the new doctors in town and striving to get complete group membership. We want LAM to represent as close to 100% of area physicians as possible.
As president for this coming year, I plan to continue the momentum generated by Joe Hutchison and Alex Wilgus to promote a more closely knit physician community. I am firmly rooted in the belief that this is paramount to our future. More and more, the world is asking us to work together as a group to provide a higher level of quality with greater efficiency. And collegial relationships are absolutely essential. All of our meetings this year will by design either have generous social opportunities or simply be purely "meet and greet."
In addition to cross-linking our physician community, LAM is about supporting Lynchburg and the surrounding communities. This year, we have chosen to focus on the Free Clinic of Central Virginia. The Free Clinic handles some 10,000 office visits per year, providing a vital service in our community that often goes unnoticed. Our medical community has had an influx of excellent new physicians, and it is our goal to leverage that talent to further support this important cause.
Lastly, LAM remains a strong supporter of the Medical Society of Virginia. Just as it is important that we stand together as local physicians, it is equally important that our voice be heard at the state level in this tumultuous time.
Join us at LAM as we continue to shape the environment that we practice and live in!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- European financial stocks fell below important price levels last week as worries over the health of Portugal's Banco Espirito Santo brought fear into global markets.
Below is a chart of Global X FTSE Portugal 20 ETF (PGAL) and iShares MSCI Europe Financials (EUFN). The two indices have correlated closely since 2011, when the eurozone's debt crisis spread from small peripheral countries across the continent, pulling down every major stock index in Europe along the way.
The MSCI Europe Financials Index is comprised of HSBC Holdings (HSBC), Banco Santander (SAN), Lloyds Banking (LYG), BNP Paribas (BNPQY) and UBS (UBS) among others.
"We rate LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC (LYG) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed ? some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, LYG's share price has jumped by 27.95%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Although LYG had significant growth over the past year, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock at the current time.
- The gross profit margin for LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC is rather high; currently it is at 62.62%. It has increased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the strong results of the gross profit margin, LYG's net profit margin of 16.80% significantly trails the industry average.
- LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC's earnings per share declined by 23.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC continued to lose money by earning -$0.08 versus -$0.13 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.55 versus -$0.08).
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market, LLOYDS BANKING GROUP PLC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Commercial Banks industry average. The net income has decreased by 17.4% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $2,316.93 million to $1,914.29 million.

Garfinkel now has chance to show he's his 'own man'
Among his more recent initiatives, Garfinkel has changed Petco Park's cuisine, soliciting suggestions via social networking sites ("Hodad's, Hodad's, Hodad's, Hodad's"), replacing generic concession stands with local favorites, systematically implementing the epicurean will of the people.
Given time, Garfinkel may further distance himself from Moorad by changing Petco Park's dimensions to a more hitter-friendly configuration. He might solidify his standing by showing enough progress and/or profit to give John Moores grounds to reconsider selling controlling interest in the ballclub. For the moment, though, the interim CEO's most pressing jobs are to project business as usual and to worry less about making his mark than making sure Petco Park is operational when it reopens next week.
To tour Petco Park Thursday was to see restaurants being renovated, banners being hung, tickets being sold and receptionists jousting with questions about the team's unsettled television status. Give people enough work to do and they have less time to worry about whether they can keep their jobs should the business get sold.
"Change is inevitable in life," Tom Garfinkel said. "Comfort with ambiguity is an important quality to have. Our people are resilient and they're working hard. There's no panic or paralyzation around here."
Ownership being beyond his control, Garfinkel borrowed a line (and a voice) from Padres manager Bud Black.

A communication jack is provided with plug interface contacts that have a short conductive signal pathway between a plug-jack interface and crosstalk compensation provided on a printed circuit board within the jack. Contacts of the jack are specially designed not to take a permanent set if a six-position plug or an eight-position plug is inserted into an eight-position jack. A printed circuit board in the jack is placed at an angle, shortening the conductive pathway between plug contacts and the printed circuit board.
1. A communications connector for mating with a communications plug having plug contacts, said connector comprising:
a printed circuit board having conductive pads thereon;
a support; and
at least one plug interface contact mechanically connected to said printed circuit board and positioned to make electrical contact with one of said plug contacts of said communications plug when said communications plug is mated with said communications connector, at least a portion of said plug interface contact forming an electrically conductive pathway between said plug contact of said communication plug and said conductive pad of said printed circuit board, said plug interface contact being provided with:
a first curve that provides contact force between said plug interface contact and said conductive pad of said printed circuit board;
a second curve where said plug interface contact meets said conductive pad of said printed circuit board;
a third curve where said plug interface contact makes electrical contact with said contact of said communications plug when said communications plug is mated with said communications connector; and
a fourth curve that rides along said support, providing additional mating force between said plug contact and said plug interface contact.

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/027,123 filed Feb. 8, 2008 which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors, and more particularly, to a modular communication jack having an improved contact arrangement for reducing net crosstalk and accommodating different types of plugs.
In the communications industry, as data transmission rates have steadily increased, crosstalk due to capacitive and inductive couplings among the closely spaced parallel conductors within the jack and/or plug has become increasingly problematic. Modular connectors with improved crosstalk performance have been designed to meet the increasingly demanding standards. Many of these improved connectors have included concepts disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,997,358, the entirety of which is incorporated by reference herein. In particular, recent connectors have introduced predetermined amounts of crosstalk compensation to cancel offending near end crosstalk (NEXT). In some connectors, stages of compensation are used to account for phase shifts from propagation delay resulting from the distance between the compensation zone and the plug/jack interface. As a result, the magnitude and phase of the offending crosstalk is preferably offset by the compensation, which, in aggregate, has an equal magnitude, but opposite phase from the offending crosstalk.
Recent transmission rates, including those in excess of 500 MHz, have exceeded the capabilities of the techniques of existing jacks. Thus, jacks having improved compensation characteristics are needed.
There is a phase shift from an installed plug to the compensation zones in a jack which is dependent on the distance from the plug/jack electrical interface to the printed circuit board (PCB) which contains the compensation elements, and the dielectric of the surrounding materials. This phase shift is proportional to frequency and the magnitude of required compensation is dependent on the magnitude of phase shift. It is therefore advantageous to minimize this distance and phase shift to maximize the frequency range over which sufficient compensation is attained.
It is therefore advantageous to minimize the length of that portion of the jack contacts which electrically connects an installed plug to the PCB. However, a simple short cantilever contact is not mechanically sound.
An additional problem encountered in the design of electrical communication jacks is the fact that different types of plugs may be inserted into a jack—intentionally or unintentionally. For example, it is possible for a six-contact plug to be inserted into an eight-contact jack. In such a scenario, the six-contact plug will generally have a housing that will cause the first and eighth contacts—the outermost contacts—of the jack to flex farther than they would if an eight-contact plug were inserted into the jack. This can cause the outermost contacts of an eight-contact jack to take a permanent set, reducing or eliminating those contacts' ability to make proper contact with the first and eighth contacts of eight-contact plugs when they are later inserted. It is desirable to have a communication jack in which all contacts, including the outermost contacts, will not take a permanent set if a connector with six contacts is inserted into the jack.
As shown in
In one embodiment, the compliant sockets 20 a-20 h serve merely as mechanical attachments for the plug interface contacts 16 a-16 h and do not provide electrical connections between the compliant plug interface contacts 16 a-16 h and the PCB 18. In this embodiment, electrical connections between the plug interface contacts 16 a-16 h and the PCB are made at conductive pads 22 a-22 h.
Insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) 24 a-24 h electrically connect first through eighth wires, respectively, of a communication cable (not shown) to the PCB 18. The IDCs 24 a-24 h are electrically and mechanically connected to the PCB 18 at plated-through IDC vias 26 a-26 h, respectively. The plug interface contacts, 16 a-16 h, the IDCs 24 a-24 h, and the PCB 18 form a jack contact assembly 28. Electrically conductive traces between the plug interface contacts 16 a-h and the IDCs 24 a-h are provided on the PCB 18, as shown in
As shown in
The PCB 18 is positioned at an angle from the vertical, and this tilting of the PCB also facilitates a shortening of the conductive pathway "A." In the embodiment shown in
The plug interface contact 16 a is designed with two radii: a first radius 38 and a second radius 40. These radii are designed to collapse and survive stress from a large deflection, as when a six-position plug 42 is inserted into the jack 10 as shown in
A first curve 44 is positioned between the compliant pin 19 g and a second curve 46, where the plug interface contact 16 b contacts the conductive pad 22 b. The first curve assures that proper contact force is maintained between the second curve 46 and the conductive pad 22 b. In addition to allowing electrical contact between the plug interface contact 16 b and the conductive pad 22 b, the second curve 46 guides the plug interface contact 16 b away from the PCB 18 and toward the plug contact 30 b. The third curve 48 is at the plug-jack interface 34 b, and it both enables the plug interface contact 16 b to make electrical contact with the plug contact 30 b and guides the plug interface contact 16 b away from the plug contact 30 b to its endpoint 50. In the embodiment shown in
According to one embodiment, conductive traces 62 a-h are provided in eight conductive layers. The solid lines in
The design of plug interface contacts 16 a-16 h as best illustrated in
For example, it is desirable to maintain at least 100 grams of force (gf) as a contact force between a plug interface contact and a plug contact. Following insertion and removal of a plug, plug interface contacts having the design of the plug interface contacts 16 b-16 g were able to make 159 gf of contact force with a contact of a later-inserted simulated plug. A simulation of the simpler cantilevered plug interface contact design 70 shown in
Similar simulations were performed on modeled versions of the outermost plug interface contacts 16 a and 16 h as best shown in
It is to be understood that modifications to the shown embodiments may be made while still falling within the scope of the present invention. For example, while the above-described embodiments show eight-contact jacks, it is to be understood that jacks according to the present invention may be provided with more or fewer than eight contacts, depending on the particular application for the jack, with proper modifications made to accommodate more or fewer contacts.

Star Alliance, the grouping of global airlines that counts members like Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, on Thursday said the induction of Air India as a member of the grouping is on track.
"India is one of the most important aviation markets in the world and Star Alliance wants to cover all these important markets," said Christian Klick, vice president, corporate at Star Alliance.
While talking to reporters in Mumbai, he said the process of inducting Air India is on track but did not rule out the possibility of having second airline from India as a member.
"India is such a big market and the Indian aviation market is constantly changing. We will not rule out at this point of time that we will have further partners in future. But right now we are concentrating on working with Air India," said Klick.
A total of 28 airlines are part of the Star Alliance operating 21,900 daily flights to 1,328 destinations globally.
Air India in December last year announced its entry into the Star Alliance, even as the proposal to include it in the grouping was hanging fire since July 2011 on grounds that the airline had not fulfilled major conditions to join it. According to reports, Jet Airways was also vying with Air India to join the grouping.
When asked about Jet Airways, Klick said that from the very beginning, it was decided that Air India will be the member of Star Alliance. "So that has not changed," he said.
While talking about whether Star Alliance is looking at having a low cost carrier (LCC) as a member, Klick said, "Low cost carrier situation in all parts of the world is changing. Our member carriers are looking into setting up their LCCs. And so, we will have to look at all the options to develop and grow the alliance further."
He, however, denied having talks with IndiGo as part of the alliance. "The alliance is not talking to IndiGo on a formal scale," he said.
The integration process is expected to take few months. It would also involve integration of an airline's flight network, ticket booking systems, matching of frequent flyer programmes and access to lounges in home countries of the airline.
Passengers of Air India will be able to enjoy benefits, through sharing of resources including seamless transfers while traveling across the world, more frequent flyer mileage points, code sharing leading to a wider choice of flights and access to facilities at over 1000 lounges worldwide.

Prior etiquette demanded that the two feet touch. Times change. Here, Max Vadukul takes the viewer right into bed with Amy Winehouse on her wedding day. That she is clothed takes nothing away from the seduction. Rolling Stone ran the picture across two pages in its June 14, 2007, issue under the heading "The Diva and Her Demons."

More than 700 children have come down with measles in Wales, in an outbreak not expected to peak for another three weeks. Thousands of children in the UK are unvaccinated and at risk of measles – which can be fatal – largely because parents rejected the MMR vaccine after a study in 1998 linked the shot with autism.
The study has since been discredited, but anti-MMR campaigns continue. Measles is the most contagious virus known – to stop it spreading, more than 95 per cent of a population must be immune. Vaccination rates in the UK dipped as low as 72 per cent in some cities in the early 2000s, when most of the children with measles were born.
Measles was wiped out in the Americas in 1995 thanks to vaccination, but outbreaks brought in from Europe still occur. The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Copenhagen, Denmark, says the continent is unlikely to keep its pledge to eliminate the virus by 2015 unless vaccination coverage "is improved in several countries".
