SEH Symposium 2015
This year's 2015 School of Science, Engineering, and Health Symposium was held on May 1, 2015. All of the Engineering presentations can be viewed at the following link. 2015 School of Science, Engineering, and Health Symposium
Department of Engineering at Messiah College
Messiah is one of only a handful of Christian colleges in the country with an accredited engineering program, but even among Christian colleges we feel that our approach is unique.
Here are some reasons why:
Christian Values
Messiah has been named several times to the Templeton Foundation's Honor Roll for Character Building Colleges. Service to others is a hallmark of Messiah's Christian tradition. We therefore require our students to not only be technically competent, but also to apply their knowledge to service projects in real, tangible ways – in both the engineering curriculum and through student-led projects. Our students have been to Africa to install solar power generation systems for development work. They have created a simulated landmine field to help train personnel for humanitarian de-mining. They have developed a low-cost filter system for eliminating arsenic from drinking water. And they have done much more. At Messiah, "Christ Preeminent" is more than just our motto – it's the way we live.
Real Engineering
A thorough grounding in engineering fundamentals prepares Messiah graduates for lifelong learning. But at Messiah we don't stop at book knowledge. In long-term curricular projects, many sponsored by service and development organizations, students apply theory to real world engineering problems.
Modern Facilities
Frey Hall is a modern 65,000 square foot facility with well-equipped laboratories. A professionally staffed machine shop, state of the art computer laboratories, and industry-standard engineering software all help Messiah engineers to excel in and out of the classroom.
Personal Attention
Caring Christian professors encourage each Messiah student to reach his or her potential. Our students enjoy small classes and plenty of one-on-one support from a faculty with both teaching and industry experience. Most significantly, our professors work alongside students in projects with worldwide impact and prepare students for lives of leadership and servanthood.

The definition and classification of mental disorder is a key issue for the mental health professions and for users and providers of mental health services. Most international clinical documents use the term "mental disorder" rather than "mental illness". There is no single definition and the inclusion criteria are said to vary depending on the social, legal and political context. In general, however, a mental disorder has been characterized as a clinically significant behavioral or psychological pattern that occurs in an individual and is usually associated with distress, disability or increased risk of suffering. The term "serious mental illness" (SMI) is sometimes used to refer to more severe and long-lasting disorder. A broad definition can cover mental disorder, mental retardation, personality disorder and substance dependence. The phrase "mental health problems" may be used to refer only to milder or more transient issues. There is often a criterion that a condition should not be expected to occur as part of a person's usual culture or religion. Nevertheless, the term "mental" is not necessarily used to imply a distinction between mental (dys)functioning and brain (dys)functioning, or indeed between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are currently two widely established systems that classify mental disorders - Chapter V of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), produced by the World Health Organization (WHO), and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) produced by the American Psychiatric Association (APA). Both list categories of disorder and provide standardized criteria for diagnosis. They have deliberately converged their codes in recent revisions so that the manuals are often broadly comparable, although significant differences remain. Other classification schemes may be in use more locally, for example the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders. Other manuals may be used by those of alternative theoretical persuasions, for example the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual.
Some approaches to classification do not employ distinct categories based on cut-offs separating the abnormal from the normal. They are variously referred to as spectrum, continuum or dimensional systems. There is a significant scientific debate about the relative merits of a categorical or a non-categorical system. There is also significant controversy about the role of science and values in classification schemes, and about the professional, legal and social uses to which they are put.
The state of anxiety or fear can become disordered, so that it is unusually intense or generalized over a prolonged period of time. Commonly recognized categories of anxiety disorders include specific phobia, Generalized anxiety disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Post-traumatic stress disorder. Relatively long lasting affective states can also become disordered. Mood disorder involving unusually intense and sustained sadness, melancholia or despair is know as Clinical depression (or Major depression), and may more generally be described as Emotional dysregulation. Milder but prolonged depression can be diagnosed as dysthymia. Bipolar disorder involves abnormally "high" or pressured mood states, known as mania or hypomania, alternating with normal or depressed mood. Whether unipolar and bipolar mood phenomena represent distinct categories of disorder, or whether they usually mix and merge together along a dimension or spectrum of mood, is under debate in the scientific literature.
Patterns of belief, language use and perception can become disordered. Psychotic disorders centrally involving this domain include Schizophrenia and Delusional disorder. Schizoaffective disorder is a category used for individuals showing aspects of both schizophrenia and affective disorders. Schizotypy is a category used for individuals showing some of the traits associated with schizophrenia but without meeting cut-off criteria.
The fundamental characteristics of a person that influence his or her cognitions, motivations, and behaviors across situations and time - can be seen as disordered due to being abnormally rigid and maladaptive. Categorical schemes list a number of different personality disorders, such as those classed as eccentric (e.g. Paranoid personality disorder, Schizoid personality disorder, Schizotypal personality disorder), those described as dramatic or emotional (Antisocial personality disorder, Borderline personality disorder, Histrionic personality disorder, Narcissistic personality disorder) or those seen as fear-related (Avoidant personality disorder, Dependent personality disorder, Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder).
There may be an emerging consensus that personality disorders, like personality traits in the normal range, incorporate a mixture of more acute dysfunctional behaviors that resolve in relatively short periods, and maladaptive temperamental traits that are relatively more stable. Non-categorical schemes may rate individuals via a profile across different dimensions of personality that are not seen as cut off from normal personality variation, commonly through schemes based on the Big Five personality traits.
Other disorders may involve other attributes of human functioning. Eating practices can be disordered, at least in relatively rich industrialized areas, with either compulsive over-eating or under-eating or binging. Categories of disorder in this area include Anorexia nervosa, Bulimia nervosa, Exercise Bulimia or Binge eating disorder. Sleep disorders such as Insomnia also exist and can disrupt normal sleep patterns. Sexual and gender identity disorders, such as Dyspareunia or Gender identity disorder or ego-dystonic homosexuality. People who are abnormally unable to resist urges, or impulses, to perform acts that could be harmful to themselves or others, may be classed as having an impulse control disorder, including various kinds of Tic disorders such as Tourette's Syndrome, and disorders such as Kleptomania (stealing) or Pyromania (fire-setting). Substance-use disorders include Substance abuse disorder. Addictive gambling may be classed as a disorder. Inability to sufficiently adjust to life circumstances may be classed as an Adjustment disorder. The category of adjustment disorder is usually reserved for problems beginning within three months of the event or situation and ending within six months after the stressor stops or is eliminated. People who suffer severe disturbances of their self-identity, memory and general awareness of themselves and their surroundings may be classed as having a Dissociative identity disorder, such as Depersonalization disorder or Dissociative Identify Disorder itself (which has also been called multiple personality disorder, or "split personality".). Factitious disorders, such as Munchausen syndrome, also exist where symptoms are experienced and/or reported for personal gain.
Disorders appearing to originate in the body, but thought to be mental, are known as somatoform disorders, including Somatization disorder. There are also disorders of the perception of the body, including Body dysmorphic disorder. Neurasthenia is a category involving somatic complaints as well as fatigue and low spirits/depression, which is officially recognized by the ICD-10 but not by the DSM-IV. Memory or cognitive disorders, such as amnesia or Alzheimer's disease exist.
Some disorders are thought to usually first occur in the context of early childhood development, although they may continue into adulthood. The category of Specific developmental disorder may be used to refer to circumscribed patterns of disorder in particular learning skills, motor skills, or communication skills. Disorders which appear more generalized may be classed as pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) also known as autism spectrum disorders (ASD); these include autism, Asperger's, Rett syndrome, childhood disintegrative disorder and other types of PDD whose exact diagnosis may not be specified. Other disorders mainly or first occurring in childhood include Reactive attachment disorder; Separation Anxiety Disorder; Oppositional Defiant Disorder; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
Other proposed disorders include: Self-defeating personality disorder, Sadistic personality disorder, Passive-aggressive personality disorder, Premenstrual dysphoric disorder, Video game addiction or Internet addiction disorder.
Genetic studies have indicated that genes often play an important role in the development of mental disorders, via developmental pathways interacting with environmental factors. The reliable identification of connections between specific genes and specific categories of disorder has proven more difficult.
Environmental events surrounding pregnancy and birth have also been implicated. Traumatic brain injury may increase the risk of developing certain mental disorders. There have been some tentative inconsistent links found to certain viral infections, to substance misuse, and to general physical health.
Abnormal functioning of neurotransmitter systems has been implicated, including serotonin, norepinephrine, dopamine and glutamate systems. Differences have also been found in the size or activity of certain brains regions in some cases. Psychological mechanisms have also been implicated, such as cognitive and emotional processes, personality, temperament and coping style.
Social influences have been found to be important, including abuse, bullying and other negative or stressful life experiences. The specific risks and pathways to particular disorders are less clear, however. Aspects of the wider community have also been implicated, including employment problems, socioeconomic inequality, lack of social cohesion, problems linked to migration, and features of particular societies and cultures.
Cultural processes can affect which behaviors are considered clinically relevant and how they are framed. The DSM has been said to have a Euro-American outlook, such that differing disorders or concepts from other countries or non-mainstream cultures are neglected or misrepresented; while the latter are described as "culture-bound syndromes", Western cultural phenomena are taken as universals. The fact that diagnostic criteria sets are acceptable to or applied reliably across different cultures does not necessarily make the constructs themselves valid within those cultures, as this can be statistically achieved through an entirely illusory diagnostic construct. On the other hand, it is argued that if a diagnostic category is valid then cross-cultural factors are irrelevant, or only affect how symptoms are manifested.
Cultural variation can suggest that the very construct of "mental disorder" is in fact culture-bound. Different societies, cultures, and even persons within a particular culture may disagree as to what constitutes optimal or pathological biological and psychological functioning, and indeed research has demonstrated variation across cultures in the relative importance placed on, for example, happiness, autonomy, or social relationships for pleasure. Likewise, the fact that a behavior pattern is valued, accepted, encouraged, or even statistically normative within a particular culture does not necessarily mean it is conducive to optimal psychological functioning. There may be a tendency to overstate or misinterpret neurophysiological findings and to understate the scientific importance of social-psychological variables, and the cultural and ethnic diversity of individuals is often discounted by researchers and services providers. Rather than indicating a disorder from within, distress and disability may be seen as an indicator of emotional struggle and the need to address social and structural problems and some academics and clinicians have advocated a postmodernist conceptualization of mental distress and wellbeing and "heretical" psychologies centered on alternative cultural and ethnic identities and experiences.
Treatment and support may be provided in psychiatric hospitals, clinics or any of a diverse range of community mental health services. Often an individual may engage in different treatment modalities. Individuals may be treated against their will in some cases. Services in some countries are increasingly based on a Recovery model that supports an individual's personal journey to regain a meaningful life.
Psychoeducation may be used to provide people with the information to understand and manage their problems. Creative therapies are sometimes used, including music therapy, art therapy or drama therapy. Lifestyle adjustments and supportive measures are often used, including peer support, self-help groups for mental health and supported housing or supported employment (including social firms). Some advocate dietary supplements. Many things have been found to help at least some people. A placebo effect may play a role in any intervention.
Even those disorders often considered the most serious and intractable have varied courses. Long-term international studies of schizophrenia have found that over a half of individuals recover in terms of symptoms, and around a fifth to a third in terms of symptoms and functioning, with some requiring no medication. At the same time, many have serious difficulties and support needs for many years, although "late" recovery is still possible. The WHO concluded that the findings joined others in "relieving patients, carers and clinicians of the chronicity paradigm which dominated thinking throughout much of the 20th century. Around half of people initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder achieve syndromal recovery (no longer meeting criteria for the diagnosis) within six weeks, and nearly all achieve it within two years, with nearly a half regaining their prior occupational and residential status in that period. However, nearly a half go on to experience a new episode of mania or major depression within the next two years. Functioning has been found to vary, being poor during periods of major depression or mania but otherwise fair to good, and possibly superior during periods of hypomania in Bipolar II.
Despite often being characterized in purely negative terms, some mental states labeled as disorders can also involve above-average creativity, non-conformity, goal-striving, meticulousness, or empathy. In addition, the public perception of the level of disability associated with mental disorders can change.
Mental disorders have been found to be relatively common, with more than one in three people in most countries reporting sufficient criteria for at least one diagnosis at some point in their life up to the time they were assessed. A new WHO global survey currently underway indicates that anxiety disorders are the most common in all but 1 country, followed by mood disorders in all but 2 countries, while substance disorders and impulse-control disorders were consistently less prevalent. Rates varied by region. Such statistics are widely believed to be underestimates, due to poor diagnosis (especially in countries without affordable access to mental health services) and low reporting rates, in part because of the predominant use of self-report data rather than semi-structured instruments. Actual lifetime prevalence rates for mental disorders are estimated to be between 65% and 85%.
A review of anxiety disorder surveys in different countries found average lifetime prevalence estimates of 16.6%, with women having higher rates on average. A review of mood disorder surveys in different countries found lifetime rates of 6.7% for major depressive disorder (higher in some studies, and in women) and 0.8% for bipolar 1 disorder.
The updated US National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) reported that nearly half of Americans (46.4%) meet criteria at some point in their life for either an anxiety disorder (28.8%), mood disorder (20.8%), impulse-control disorder (24.8%) or substance use disorder (14.6%).
A 2004 cross-Europe study found that approximately one in four people reported meeting criteria at some point in their life for at least one of the DSM-IV disorders assessed, which included mood disorders (13.9%), anxiety disorders (13.6%) or alcohol disorder (5.2%). Approximately one in ten met criteria within a 12-month period. Women and younger people of either gender showed more cases of disorder. A 2005 review of surveys in 16 European countries found that 27% of adult Europeans are affected by at least one mental disorder in a 12 month period.
An international review of studies on the prevalence of schizophrenia found an average (median) figure of 0.4% for lifetime prevalence; it was consistently lower in poorer countries.
Studies of the prevalence of personality disorders (PDs) have been fewer and smaller-scale, but one broad Norwegian survey found a five-year prevalence of almost 1 in 7 (13.4%). Rates for specific disorders ranged from 0.8% to 2.8%, differing across countries, and by gender, educational level and other factors. A US survey that incidentally screened for personality disorder found a rate of 14.79%.
Approximately 7% of a preschool pediatric sample were given a psychiatric diagnosis in one clinical study, and approximately 10% of 1- and 2-year-olds receiving developmental screening have been assessed as having significant emotional/behavioral problems based on parent and pediatrician reports.
A number of professions have developed that specialise in the treatment of mental disorders, including the medical speciality of psychiatry (including psychiatric nursing), the division of psychology known as clinical psychology, Social Work, as well as Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, Psychotherapists, Counselors and Public Health professionals. Those with personal experience of using mental health services are also increasingly involved in researching and delivering mental health services and working as mental health professionals. The different clinical and scientific perspectives draw on diverse fields of research and theory, and different disciplines may favor differing models, explanations and goals.
The Consumer/Survivor Movement (also known as user/survivor movement) is made up of individuals (and organizations representing them) who are clients of mental health services or who consider themselves "survivors" of mental health services. The movement campaigns for improved mental health services and for more involvement and empowerment within mental health services, policies and wider society. Patient advocacy organizations have expanded with increasing deinstitutionalization in developed countries, working to challenge the stereotypes, stigma and exclusion associated with psychiatric conditions. An antipsychiatry movement fundamentally challenges mainstream psychiatric theory and practice, including the reality or utility of psychiatric diagnoses of mental illnesses.
All human-rights oriented mental health laws require proof of the presence of a mental disorder as defined by internationally accepted standards, but the type and severity of disorder that counts can vary in different jurisdictions. The two most often utilized grounds for involuntary admission are said to be serious likelihood of immediate or imminent danger to self or others, and the need for treatment. Applications for someone to be involuntarily admitted may usually come from a mental health practitioner, a family member, a close relative, or a guardian. Human-rights-oriented laws usually stipulate that independent medical practitioners or other accredited mental health practitioners must examine the patient separately and that there should be regular, time-bound review by an independent review body. An individual must be shown to lack the capacity to give or withhold informed consent (i.e. to understand treatment information and its implications). Legal challenges in some areas have resulted in supreme court decisions that a person does NOT have to agree with a psychiatrist's characterization of their issues as an "illness", nor with a psychiatrist's conviction in medication, but only recognise the issues and the information about treatment options.
Proxy consent (also known as substituted decision-making) may be given to a personal representative, a family member or a legally appointed guardian, or patients may have been able to enact an advance directive as to how they wish to be treated. The right to supported decision-making may also be included in legislation. Involuntary treatment laws are increasingly extended to those living in the community, for example outpatient commitment laws (known by different names) are used in New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and most of the United States.
The World Health Organization reports that in many instances national mental health legislation takes away the rights of persons with mental disorders rather than protecting rights, and is often outdated. In 1991, the United Nations adopted the Principles for the Protection of Persons with Mental Illness and the Improvement of Mental Health Care, which established minimum human rights standards of practice in the mental health field. In 2006 the UN formally agreed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to protect and enhance the rights and opportunities of disabled people, including those with psychosocial disabilities
The term insanity, sometimes used colloquially as a synonym for mental illness, is often used technically as a legal term.
The social stigma associated with mental disorders is a widespread problem. Some people believe those with serious mental illnesses cannot recover, or are to blame for problems. The US Surgeon General stated in 1999 that: "Powerful and pervasive, stigma prevents people from acknowledging their own mental health problems, much less disclosing them to others. Employment discrimination is reported to play a significant part in the high rate of unemployment among those with a diagnosis of mental illness.
Efforts are being undertaken worldwide to eliminate the stigma of mental illness Their methods and outcomes have sometimes been criticized as counterproductive.
Media coverage of mental illness comprises predominantly negative depictions, for example, of incompetence, violence or criminality, with far less coverage of positive issues such as accomplishments or human rights issues. Such negative depictions, including in children's cartoons, are thought to contribute to stigma and negative attitudes in the public and in those with mental health problems themselves, although more sensitive or serious cinematic portrayals have increased in prevalence.
In the United States, The Carter Center has created fellowships for journalists in South Africa, the U.S., and Romania, to enable reporters to research and write stories on mental health topics. Former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter began the fellowships not only to train reporters in how to sensitively and accurately discuss mental health and mental illness, but also to increase the number of stories on these topics in the news media.
The general public have been found to hold a strong stereotype of dangerousness and desire for social distance from individuals described as mentally ill.
However, fear of unpredictable violent acts by people with mental illness is also common. One US national survey indicated that a far higher percentage of Americans rated individuals described as displaying the characteristics of a mental disorder (for example Schizophrenia or Substance Use Disorder) as "likely to do something violent to others" compared to those described as being 'troubled'. Research indicates, on balance, a higher than average number of violent acts by some individuals with certain diagnoses, notably antisocial or psychopathic personality disorders, but conflicting findings about specific symptoms (for example links between psychosis and violence in community settings) - but the mediating factors of such acts are most consistently found to be mainly socio-demographic and socio-economic factors such as being young, male, of lower socio-economic status and, in particular, substance abuse (including alcohol). For the most serious crimes, such as homicide, some diagnoses are over-represented in arrests/convictions; however, although high-profile cases have lead to fears that this has increased due to deinstitutionalization, this does not reflect the evidence.
Violence related to mental disorder typically occurs in the context of complex social interactions, often in a family setting rather than between straingers. It is also an issue in healthcare settings and the wider community.
The risk of anthropomorphism is often raised with regard to such comparisons, and assessment of non-human animals cannot incorporate evidence from linguistic communication. However, available evidence may range from nonverbal behaviors - including physiological responses and homologous facial displays and acoustic utterances - to neurochemical studies. It is pointed out that human psychiatric classification is often based on statistical description and judgement of behaviors (especially when speech or language is impaired) and that the use of verbal self-report is itself problematic and unreliable.
Psychopathology has generally been traced, at least in captivity, to adverse rearing conditions such as early separation of infants from mothers; early sensory deprivation; and extended periods of social isolation. Studies have also indicated individual variation in temperament, such as sociability or impulsiveness. Particular causes of problems in captivity have included integration of strangers in to existing groups and a lack of individual space, in which context some pathological behaviors have also been seen as coping mechanisms. Remedial interventions have included careful individually-tailored re-socialization programs, behavior therapy, environment enrichment, and on rare occasions psychiatric drugs. Socialization has been found to work 90% of the time in disturbed chimpanzees, although restoration of functional sexuality and care-giving is often not achieved.
Laboratory researchers sometimes try to induce symptoms in animals through genetic, neurological or behavioral manipulation, although this has been criticized on empirical grounds and opposed on animal rights grounds. The modern city, in connection with the psychological disorders of its residents, has been described as a human zoo.

The developers held a public meeting this evening - I don't know what they were hoping for, but the hatred in that village hall towards them.......you could taste it in the air! We put out a lot of posters to raise awareness, and had a huge amount of people turn out to look at the plans - then swear at the developers
We had people outside gathering names/emails for further petitions etc and picked up hundreds of names - I didn't find one person that wants this development.
The developer hasn't put in formal plans to the council yet, but we made a lot of useful contacts including several specialists who can help us put together coherant arguments against the plans. The fight is well and truely on!
Yes! Give them hell Chilli!

The Great Wedding Venue Search Begins (A Groom With A View)
Evin and I began our wedding venue search in our car in lower Manhattan. The plan was to start there before working our way uptown hitting every place on the list. The first venue we visited was in the West Village. I doubled-parked and Evin went inside to see if it was worth me circling the block to look for a parking place. This venue was in a brownstone on Fifth Avenue. The Wedding Coordinator was an older, blue-haired woman who had been with this facility since the 70's. Based on how Evin described her, maybe it was the 1870's. The price was right, the minimums not insane, but (according to Evin) "it feels like a place my parents would've gotten married at." Pass. Elapsed time of visit: 14 minutes
The next stop was up by Union Square, a hotel where people: cooler, wealthier, better-dressed, and more popular people than us pay $17.00 for complicated cocktails made with ingredients like Aperol and Byrrh Quinquina. I knew the hotel well and idled in front of a fire hydrant while Evin swept through the place. She called me from her cell phone to let me know her thoughts.
"It's really nice. The menu looks great. And they have good dates in June or July still available. Now here's the bad news: $375 per person." Ouch.
She never even bothered to ask me if I wanted to come up.
"Okay, coming down," she announced. Elapsed time of visit: 23 minutes.
We crossed town to the warehouse district in Chelsea. The loft spaces there were huge — home to lots of big nightclubs and restaurants. I idled in a "No Standing" zone while Evin took a freight elevator up eight flights to see the space.
"It has to be 10,000 feet," she proclaimed and Evin knows her square footage so there was no reason to doubt her.
She texted me a picture and the views were spectacular. But it was empty and I could hear an echo in the room. Empty wasn't good. You had to bring in everything — tables, chairs, plates, food, booze, napkins, etc! But when you have to do that it becomes seriously expensive.
"Is that what we want?" I asked her as if I was in the room with her.
"Not really. That sounds like a lot of work."
"You mean a lot of work like driving around Manhattan looking at wedding venues?"
"Coming down," she said sadly. Elapsed time of visit: 9 minutes.
We were disappointed but still had two places left on the list. We were hungry and had a little time to kill. So we double parked on 9th Avenue and ate falafel sandwiches and did a post-mortem about where we had been.
"We're going to find a place, won't we?" she asked.
I felt bad for her. I knew we would but I hated seeing her like this. So I was encouraging.
"We'll find a place. I know we will. But hey, if we don't…"
"Don't even say the words 'City Hall.' In fact, don't even say the word 'city' or the word, 'hall'"
Down, but definitely not out, we finished eating and headed off to our next venue.

Pure One Flow
Affordable, nice finish, internet capability is good, compact and lightweight
Audio could be better
Who said internet radios had to be expensive? Not us, and certainly not DAB specialist Pure, which recently expanded its affordable range of One radios with the addition of a web-capable model. The Pure One Flow is a sub-£100 DAB and internet radio that also sports the maker's FlowSongs feature that enables you to buy music direct from your radio.
Although it's price tag puts it firmly in the budget radio sector, the Pure One Flow's black satin-touch finish and silky chrome dials actually make it look pretty slick putting it far ahead of many of its budget rivals when it comes to looks.
It might not have a carrying handle, but the One Flow's lightweight build and compact footprint means that it's truly portable (unlike some other so-called portable radios, that actually turn out to be fairly cumbersome). As you'd expect from an affordable radio like this, the selection of controls on offer is kept to the basics. Along with display, the front of the radio sports a Home button, which takes you back to the audio source screen, and there are also three context-senstive buttons underneath the screen - meaning that they're used to choose the options that appear above them on the display.
On the left is the volume dial which clicks as it's rotated so that you know how many notches you're going through on the volume scale and it can also be pressed inwards to mute the sound - a feature which comes in handy when your phone rings. The right-hand dial is for navigating through onscreen menus and can be pushed in to select your chosen option.
Connections are also kept to a minumum, with the power socket hidden away on the back of the radio, while the right-hand edge is home to a Mini-USB port for software updates or for hooking up the Pure USB Ethernet adaptor. You'll also find a headphone output as well as an auxiliary input for hooking up iPods or other portable music players (although you'll have to supply your own lead as the only wiring in the box is the power cable). On the back of the radio, there's also a removable panel that hides a space where you can house the optional Pure ChargePAK E1 (£34.99). This rechargable battery pack means that you can position the radio pretty much wherever you want, without having to find a spot that's near to a plug point.
Hooking up to internet radio is quick and simple - all you need to do is select The Lounge from the audio sources on the radio menu and the One Flow will then scan for wireless networks - enter your password and you're all done. The Lounge refers to Pure's online radio management service, which will let you browse for radio stations and store them as favourites, among other things such as making podcast playlists and choosing from a library of Pure sounds like rolling thunder or a babbling brook. If you don't want to use this then you can simply skip the registration and search for web radio stations directly from the unit itself. If you don't have a wireless connection, you can also get yourself a Mini USB Ethernet adaptor from Pure for hooking up manually.
Signing up to The Lounge only takes a couple of minutes and you'll be asked for your address details and asked to provide an email address and password. Once signed up, you'll have the option to pay for a FlowSongs subscription for £2.99 a year (although this is currently only availble in the UK as a public beta). Pure offers a free 90-day trial so you can fathom out whether it's the right service for you or not. The idea is that you identify tracks on any radio station and you can then buy them (assuming that you have credit) as high-quality MP3s, directly from your radio.
It's a very simple process - you just hit the Flow button under the screen when listening to a track that you want and the option to buy will then appear on the screen. Once you've purchased a song, you can stream it to your other Pure radios (if you have any) or download it to your computer and as they're DRM-free tracks you can listen to them anywhere, including on an iPad or MP3 player.
As well as connecting to the thousands of available internet radio stations, the One Flow will also let you stream music that's stored on your computer, or any UPnP-compatible network storage device (NAS). Pure recommends that you download its Flowserver software from The Lounge, but you can also use other media servers like Windows Media Player. Setup is very straightforward, and once complete, you simply go to the Media player screen on the radio's display and select the correct server. You can then navigate around the contents using the select dial and press the buttons under the screen to skip backwards or forwards through tracks.
As well as internet radio, the One Flow also has DAB capability as well as an FM tuner for those without a web connection or a decent digital signal. You can also use the One Flow as an alarm clock - in fact you can set two different alarms, which is a handy feature.
Considering that this is a budget model, the sound quality isn't bad at all. Whereas some affordable radios have a tendency to sound rather tinny, the One Flow copes well with most tracks and radio chat. The bass can sound a little muffled as the volume is upped, but it's not a bad performance by any stretch.
The Pure One Flow has an RRP of £99.99, but it's currently selling on Amazon for £91.72 and you can probably find it cheaper still if you shop around.
Don't let the fact that this is a budget option put you off. The silky finish gives it a premium feel and it's a great choice for an internet radio is your wallet isn't overflowing with cash. The internet capability is a big plus point, as is the ability to stream music from your own server. It's all very simple to set up and use, so even technophobes should be able to figure it out.
The audio quality is pretty decent, particularly in comparison with similarly priced rivals, so unless you're (unrealistically) expecting audiophile quality, then you shouldn't be disappointed.

Here's a rather critical, and well written discussion of my leaving organized religion for Christ. [she then provided the title and a link]
I responded in a comment under the earlier post:
I don't think I have speculated all that much. She has laid out the reasons herself. I'm entitled, as an orthodox Catholic and apologist, to analyze what she has said, and why it doesn't fly and doesn't make much sense.
Isn't it odd how some folks seem to think that any reason to leave Catholicism or larger Christianity is good and profound, but any criticism of same must be judgmental and presumptuous?
That's assuming what it is trying to prove, of course . . . that being a Christian is somehow a "bad" thing, so that leaving it is good. (8-9-10)
I commend her for reading my post, noting it, making the link, and even complimenting my writing (I am humbled by that, coming from such a well-known novelist). That was classy, given how critical I was.
For my part, I want to stress that this is nothing personal whatsoever against her. It is a principled disagreement about a public declaration that has widespread consequences (and therefore is worthy of a critique). I would enjoy corresponding or even talking to her in person, I think. It doesn't have to be a personal, acrimonious thing. I reject the notion of thinking that because we strongly disagree with someone, somehow we must despise or even hate them. This is simply not true, and self-evidently so. And I believe I prove this in hundreds of my own dialogues with people I disagree with.
But some folks don't seem to be able to comprehend that, and so in the name of tolerance and lovey-dovey ersatz "togetherness," I am now being trashed up and down for expressing my Catholic views. I am supposedly intolerant (which is untrue) and so I must be treated with the utmost contempt and intolerance. Somethin' just ain't right there, is it?
I'm not supposed to do give any counter-opinion. I'm supposed to just lay down and die and wither at the sight of a critique of not only Catholicism but all institutionalized religion. If I don't don't crawl in a hole and "shut up," it proves (beyond any doubt) that I am an intolerant jerk who has no charity or grace . . .
See how it works? We Christians must never get too uppity.
And again I hasten to add that these thoughts are not coming from Anne Rice (though some things she says may be seen as implying them to some extent, in a broad fashion, insofar as she extrapolates from extreme fringe types to all organized Christianity), but rather, from a lot of those who are defending her decision. (8-9-10)
The comments received thus far are remarkable and astounding insofar as they are almost completely irrational and devoid of any counter-point reasoning whatever. It's all personal attack and sanctimonious lecturing and/or subjective, relativistic mush. In my opinion this confirms (if not proves) my point all the more -- rather spectacularly so --: she seems to have reverted to Catholicism in a fideistic, irrational fashion. She left the faith in the same fashion, and those who defend it exhibit the same irrational mindset. It's all of a piece.
Also quite striking and ironic is the fact that all of a sudden, her followers now savage me when I am simply defending the Church that Anne Rice herself gave public allegiance to as recently as two weeks ago. How is it, I wonder, that all these "followers" can switch on a dime and now attack the Catholic Church with such vigor? It seems to me that they have more allegiance to Anne Rice than they do to Christianity itself. If she stops on a dime and changes direction, they do, too, right along with her: both blissfully free of sufficient reasoning to do so. This is akin to the behavior of those in brainwashing religious cults, not rational free agents who ponder deeply the most important things in life (spiritual matters). Indeed, one of her followers, Alice B. Toklas, states this outright (in replying to my paper):
I think your reasons are valid, and justified. I would also support you compleately if tomorrow you said to everyone, "I'm returning to Christianity." Just like I supported you before you left. Unconditional means unconditional.
First, we saw some replies on my own blog, of folks who want to defend Anne Rice, and who came over here after reading about my post on her site (comments of mine below will be in blue, and bracketed):
Jason: Until The Church changes more people will be following in her footsteps, especially where civil - not religious - gay marriage is concerned. The Church could take some lessons from Anne. [it is precisely the fact that we don't follow whims and fashions and popular trends, that we have a credible claim of presenting unchanging moral truths] (8-8-10)
Eastiopians: You are so judgmental [and of course he isn't], and could use more Christ and less religion in your beliefs as well. Why are you so threatened by her desire to stick with Christ but walk away from organized religion [why is every mere difference of opinion so often immediately "psychologized" these days?] Why does that make you feel weak and need to fight for this organization at the expense of her character as a person and a believer? If you truly believe in what you are doing and where you are, then you don't need to knock others down to show your support for what you are doing. Where is your grace? (8-8-10)
Greg Gibbs . . . You lack understaning, humility, humblness [is there a difference between the last two things?] and are all too quick to judge. I am not here to remind you what is sin and what is not...I am telling you that when people are trying to illegalize what they (and God?) percieve as 'sin'..they are taking "God-Given Free Will' away from others...not a very Christian thing to do. Can you love those who are not putting change in your pocket or persecute you? Having what you percieve as an all devine relationship with God almighty does not constitute you having 'Love for mankind' by constantly feeling the need to wash the blood of others off your hands.' How important you must be ;) Your article is well written, kudos on that. It 'lacks' non-biased judgement for all too like-minded persuasive ears. Come before your Christ as a child. Sadly, these days most pulpits are nothing more than 'meal-tickets' for hot heads who feel 'the calling.' God love the 'Relgious Narcissists' lol (dont expect to see this posted without a few typical arguments in which I am prepared for, if it's even posted at all) [surprise! Here it is again] (8-9-10)
Jason at least was civil (kudos). Now let's look at many of the 83 comments (as of this writing) over on Anne Rice's Facebook page, under this entry (see if you can locate any cogent reasoning, in-between all the cogent attacks).
Susan Roberts What a ass that guy is. I personally don't believe in hell, but that we can create our own hell here on earth. I also believe that we choose the life we live before we are born for the benifit of raising our souls awareness, it is the only way I can justify all the pain and suffering in the world throughout our history. I also believe that the Bible is a book written by men not God. Organised religion is just another form of slavery. [and disorganized religion is just another form of modern mindless silliness]
Alice B Toklas I tried to read this before starting my paperwork, but I don't really want to hear all that. I started hearing Charlie Browns teacher in my head,. " Brahh, Blah, bla, baaa.."
Liz Hughes Wiley . . . the argument....yeah, well-thought-out within a very narrow sphere. It becomes a rant after a while, to me. Too much picking on your Bay Area background (horreur!), your hotsy early writings (ScanDAL!! What sensuality from...a woman!!) [see my comment one entry below] It's a case where the person is using you to represent something that you probably don't even resemble -- says more about the writer -- but then, writing usually does, doesn't it?
Troy Hawkins I thought this was absolute bilge, It starts out that no possible reason could be valid for leaving the church, He accuses Ms Rice of bing dismissive but that is a pretty dismissive statement, She never said that all Christians hate homo...sexuals. . . . As for writing about her erotica writings etc, That was pure character assassination. The whole article was nasty [I actually wrote only one short sentence about that, and didn't (technically) condemn it. It was noted that Rice thought the Church was "sex-obsessed". I made one sharp, ironic, turn-the-tables retort: "this coming from a former hippie and author of porn and erotica!?" I didn't even initially describe it as "porn." That was the word used in other articles. I know nothing about her writings; having never read them. But for one who has written erotica and "porn" to carp on about Catholics being "sex-obsessed" was far too precious and humorous and utterly beyond whatever powers I possess, to resist . . . ]
Kevin Higgs If I had to believe to suit and please this Right-Wing idiot who wrote these comments about you, I would leave the Christian Faith, too. Thank God he doesn't speak for me. I am a follower of Jesus... I would have nothing to do with any thing that man is affiliated with.
MaryEllen O'Brien I'm suspicious of anyone who proudly states "I don't read fiction" [I didn't "proudly" state it at all. I simply stated it. In fact, many times, I have stated that this non-interest in fiction is an admitted deficiency of mine. Therefore, I could hardly be "proud" of it] to lead off a discussion of a writer's faith, about whom he knows nothing [it is irrelevant how much of Rice's writing I know, in critiquing her own stated reasons for no longer being a Catholic]. Except apparently just enough to fully judge the writer as anti-intellectual. Wow! [I never said she was "anti-intellectual"; I argued that in matters of faith she did not sufficiently apply reason to it; in other words, she was a fideist] Fiction is the source of great inspiration and is more truthful than much non-fiction. And arguably, much of the Bible is in truth, fictional, albeit to make a truth point. [I totally agree that fiction is a great thing. Just because I don't read it doesn't nullify that point. I never ever implied such a silly thing. My two favorite writers: C. S. Lewis and G. K. Chesterton wrote much fiction. But I prefer their non-fiction] Everything starts with a story, as Joseph Campbell said. If the blogger believes all the dogma and doctrine passing forth from the throne of Peter (Peter would be appalled at that language) he is indeed a reader of fiction. And can't seem to separate the two. [Right. Great non-argument . . . ] Sit him next to someone who proudly and with superiority [really?] also says, "I don't watch t.v.," and let them pontificate amongst themselves while the rest of us go read some darn good stories. [I get stories through the medium of film, which is based on stories. If not for film, I'm sure I would read fiction. But since film is here, I prefer that medium (with profuse apologies to MaryEllen for my shortcomings). Different strokes. I'm not judging anyone who likes fiction. But I sure am being judged, ain't I? It's all perfectly irrelevant to the dispute at hand] Jesus, I recall, was a master storyteller. And the parables were, ahem, fictionalized accounts intended to portray a truth. [absolutely, but so what? I never denied this (nor would I ever), so it is a non sequitur]
D Craig Graham First of all...."Biblical Evidence"....and this is backed up how? [by the Bible, of course!] Duh! . . .] A bunch of guys writing their version? Men are disappointing...and (sadly) I believe when we die...the moment our eyes shut...we realize, "Well....it was all fluff....so long."
Bea Westrate The author seems to think we need to learn something and he's the only one who can teach us. [no evidence presented for this extraordinarily judgmental conclusion . . .] Fortunately we also know many things about these matters. He also claims to know Anne's process of returning to and leaving the church. [no; I only claim to know her stated reasons, and I do draw what I believe are fairly plausible deductions from her own remarks] Unfortunately he ignores the only evidence that matters -- Anne's own thoughtful, reasoned comments. [that's exactly what I have examined, so I have no idea what this statement means] Not only that, the author acts like his beliefs and definitions are the only correct ones. I've known many people like that; every one of them was unsure of themselves. [more pop pseudo-psychoanalysis . . .] I found the title amusing. There is no Biblical evidence for any of the Christian denominations, including the Baptist church I grew up in. Faith is always independent of church attendance. [right; "always" huh?] When it comes to matters of faith we answer to the Goddess (or who/what you believe in). [if there is a God, surely He is a Goddess . . . who could doubt it?] Thank you Anne for your honesty about this. It clearly resonated with many people.
Ian Robert Soule I couldn't read that entire article. He sounds like my [secular university] philosophy textbook. [I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks! But of course, no rational interaction is found here, either . . .]
Michael Medicine Crow Iott Hmmm. Well written. But again I must apply Occam's Razor. [Occam's Razor included biblical revelation as well, according to Occam himself. What he actually wrote was: "For nothing ought to be posited without a reason given, unless it is self-evident (literally, known through itself) or known by experience or proved by the authority of Sacred Scripture." Right from the horse's mouth . . .] If one accepts the writer's assumptions about faith and spirituality his arguments make perfect sense. But do not accept his assumptions. So, it does not. [I was writing for those who are Christians, anyway, so this is irrelevant] And I am not inclined to debate it with him (having spent a lot of time and energy doing so in the past and now I'm content to let these guys live in their bubble). [he's not alone, obviously . . .]
Carrie Hyman I can't call an article that full of faulty logic well written. [no rational argument given as to why she thinks this, of course]
Micah J Brubaker To be honest I think that whole bit on having to "defend your faith" is complete BS. Especially if the religion is Christianity. I was raised in a Christian family, and even though I do not consider myself one, I am pretty sure I have plenty of knowledge of it. [he's off to a bad start proving that to us, since the Bible has quite a bit about the duty of proclaiming and defending the faith] In regards to being a christian, the religion centers its self on faith in God, the belief that jesus is his only begotten son and died on the cross for us, having a "personal relationship" with Jesus.(In some cases being God,) and Abstinence. No were in the Bible have I ever read that you need to defend your faith. All you need to do is believe that Jesus is your savior and your set... but thats a broad statement... [it's good to admit one's ignorance. I would direct anyone who feels this way to my paper, Biblical Evidence For Vigorously, Passionately Arguing in Favor of One's Religious Truth Claims]
Gene Rhim What I noticed about the writer is his definition of Christianity is limited to the known apologetic logic which requires a unilaterally reasoned argument based on theological groups. [really? I must have missed my own alleged definition] The problems with this sort of theology (IMHO) are:
1.) the exclusion of other possible definitions of Christianity which may still be far more encompassing (and less judgmental) of others. [Catholicism has a long accepted definition and nature. Mrs. Rice claims to have adopted the Catholic faith]
2.) It also (seems to me) to be an arrogant stance because the logic assumes that it knows the Will of God by His Word. Who can by socratic argument know the Infinite will of God? Or for that matter can anyone of us know anything truly about another person's will by what is written? If you read a book by Anne Rice do you know Anne Rice? Or what she has planned for her next book? I think not. [melodramatic, irrelevant silliness; extreme caricature of an opposing position] . . .
4.) If arguments are the basis of faith then what about the presence of the Holy Spirit? Are we to forsake that? [the usual irrational pitting of faith against reason, as if they are antithetical] If we feel moved to pick up our things, go somewhere because the Holy Spirit moves us and speak what we are meant to speak, to give witness to God's love, and it is not in line with what is considered apologetically sound then are we to refrain? Isn't this a repeat of the same issues that Christ faced when he was criticized by the community for healing on a Sabbath? [to argue that the Bible speaks nowhere of a Church and of obedience to some ecclesiastical authority, is an extreme position of cluelessness as to what the Bible teaches. Christians disagree on the nature of the Church (ecclesiology) but they rarely express an opinion that there is no church at all, as if we are all lone rangers under God] So I bristle whenever someone gives a "good" argument based on "sound" apologetic discourse. It strikes me as too similar to the same issues faced by Christ and the pharisees: white washed coffins who have all the answers but not the spirit which is the living truth. [pseudo-pietistic nonsense . . . ] . . . Apologetics dwells on words written in the past. [okay, let's toss the Bible, too, then] Unfortunately, that leads one to become enslaved by reasoned arguments based on interpretations of the living truth. [more false dichotomies] . . . Sorry for the babbling. [admitting a fault is the first step to recovery . . .]
Linda Jones His arguments were well-reasoned, but they made me squirm. He doesn't account for the human heart, the wanting to belong or the spiritual journey. [this makes the false assumption that because something wasn't mentioned in one context, it is therefore disbelieved in all] I understand why you came back to Catholicism and why you left. [perhaps she can explain this to all of us then] . . . I think this author cannot fathom that many of us reject the institutions of Christianity because they are bastardizations of Christ's teachings. [in other words, God is too weak to sustain and establish even one Church (or even a creed or confession) that can truly preserve His teachings] His use of apologetics strains credulity.
Mylene Masangkay I guess you were being polite when you said that this article is well written. It's just a pointless, narrow-minded excuse for an analysis. But that's Catholicism for you, expecting you to never contest anything said by the Powers That Be.
Emily Savidge I couldn't even finish reading it. He was so smug; the page just oozed the stuff. Ugh. After reading through too many personal digs, I just stopped reading. He is clearly afraid of something because it sounds like a thinly-veiled personal attack And cowards attack when they can't get you to think their way. Who cares what he thinks? [who cares about making rational counter-replies anymore? Let's just do the personal attack thing and preach to the choir . . . that's how "discussion" proceeds nowadays in most Internet venues. True dialogue is as dead as a doornail and as understood as Sanskrit] I hope Anne doesn't.
Jen Redman Have to say I missed the discussion portion of the article. All I saw was him taking your quotes and contemptiously using air quotes, rolling eyes and sarcastic hmmmms. He didn't issue a valid argument as to why he thinks your decision to leave Christiany is wrong. He never addressed abortion, gay marriage, mysogyny, or any of your problems with Christianity.
Melissa Lucey Teel I think one of those people who is uncomfortable with uncertainty and needs everything in its proper place and structure

CoDyBa is a design tool on classical PC for buildings dynamic performance simulation. It is intended for design offices, teaching, and research organizations. The new CoDyBa version is called KoZiBu. A prototype can be downloaded for free.
CoDyBa is used to analyze dynamic hygrothermal performance of building elements when subjected to any kind of climate conditions. The tool helps the user conduct studies of heating and cooling strategies, air conditioning or ventilation options, and insulating materials. The main objective is to forecast the energy consumption, temperature, and humidity evolution range.
It enables the user to estimate the instant heating or cooling powers needed to maintain a given set point, or to calculate the indoor temperatures when the heating or cooling system is insufficient. Humidity is treated the same way. CoDyBa can be used to investigate the energy performance of buildings of almost any type and size. In addition to performing peak load calculations necessary for mechanical equipment design, CoDyBa also estimates the annual energy performance of the building. For more details, see the samples.
CoDyBa is based on bricks assembled to form a complex building with its equipment. Through the graphical interface, users construct a model of the building's geometry using basic elements (air volumes, walls, windows). With the interface users can add internal loads and HVAC-systems into the created model of the building and perform thermal calculations.
The building main screen is like the Windows Explorer.
An accurate building description is provided via a graphical interface, which includes a building tree, similar to Windows Explorer. The building tree is used to describe the general building structure. Users can choose to display different hierarchies of information, zone level, etc. Within the interface, each entity is associated with a graphical representation that the user can manipulate via "copy", "paste", and "drag-and-drop".
The input entities are currently used by professionals; the calculation models are treated in a transparent manner.
CoDyBa has no limit on air volumes number (thermal zones). It can simulate buildings of any size. The only real limit is the time used to input data. Screen Shots
Energy simulation, energy efficiency, building performance, renewable energy, comfort, thermal analysis, indoor air temperature, dynamic simulation.
The BESTEST benchmark (International Energy Agency) was passed successfully (see report in pdf format). This benchmark is the most precise and the most reliable which exists. Then CoDyBa can simulate the performance of 155 buildings in the BESTEST protocol and in almost all the cases matched the performance of other reference energy programs.
Expertise Required
Understanding of thermophysical processes in buildings is desirable. Engineering background is helpful to analyze calculation results. One day of training is desirable, but not necessary for those familiar with building modeling (no training courses are required). CoDyBa is designed for nonexperts on simulation methods, but has an advanced level appreciated by simulation experts.
More than 50 (in France and other countries).
Engineers, researchers, architects, energy consultants (architecture/engineering firms, utilities, equipment manufacturers); students of engineering and architecture.
The basic data are the building geometry and constitution: air volumes, walls (with the materials of layers and the surface parameters), windows (possibility for solar masks). The main parameters are the climate (several meteorological files for French cities are supplied), internal loads (from lighting, people, equipment), regulators (powers and set points for temperature, humidity, and ventilation). Virtually everything is defaulted but modifiable. The user adjusts descriptions using fill-in menus.
A number of results graphs may be viewed and printed. These graphs can compare selected alternatives or selected hourly variables to find information about energy use. All results graphs can be exported to other packages such as Microsoft Excel or Word for customized report generation. The user chooses the desired graphical output for each entity or for the whole building. The following graphical outputs are available (as hourly time function): - Building: sensible and latent powers (sum of all air volume powers). - Air volumes: sensible and latent powers, indoor air temperature, resultant temperature (average of air and wall temperatures), air relative humidity. - Surfaces: absorbed direct and diffuse solar fluxes, surface temperature (useful for thermal comfort evaluation). - Windows: transmitted direct and diffuse solar fluxes, sunlit fraction, direct and diffuse transmission coefficient, global transmission coefficient g. - Regulators: power. CoDyBa produces input summary reports that may viewed on-screen or stored as rtf files.
Computer Platform
PC-compatible, Windows 95 or higher, Pentium processor with 20 Mo of RAM is recommended
Programming Language
The software has been built in an Object-Oriented Programming language : C++ (use of a hierarchy of classes to represent the building).
No limitation in the numbers of air volumes (thermal zones, see sample 1), simplicity of use, ease of input data, multi-zone calculation, computational speed.
Equipment is modeled very simply (maximum power, set point, activity). Lack of global input of building data.

The single-zone version is free (download) and can be used as demo version. Special price for Department of Education and training organizations: ˝ * Base price.

The Moviegoer: Cohen Brothers Realty's Charles Cohen Talks Real Estate, Predicts Oscar Winners
Charles Cohen is in the business of creating. As the president and chief executive officer of Cohen Brothers Realty Corporation, Mr. Cohen oversees a portfolio of properties and design centers in New York, Florida, Texas and California. He also executive produced the Academy Award-winning Frozen River and runs Cohen Media Group, a distributor and producer of foreign and independent films. Mr. Cohen's father, Sherman Cohen, the developer who built CBRC into a powerhouse with his two brothers, died late last month at 91. And while Mr. Cohen politely declined to answer direct questions about his father, he did speak to The Commercial Observer about his legacy when discussing recent developments at the firm and in New York real estate. Mr. Cohen also spoke enthusiastically about the film industry and this year's crop of new movies, which will be in the national spotlight when the Academy Awards airs this Sunday.
The Commercial Observer: In 2011, you told The Commercial Observer that you and the rest of the real estate industry were moving at 25 miles per hour. What was the speed in 2012?
Mr. Cohen: In New York, we're going twice as fast as last year, but not fast enough. Read More
