Kim Jong Il Appreciates Drama
|Pyongyang, August 12 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il appreciated together with servicepersons of the People's Army drama "A Sentry under a Neon Lamp" at the Hamhung Grand Theatre.
The drama was created and performed in China in the 1960s. Through the activities of a unit of the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Shanghai right after liberation the drama teaches a serious lesson that it is impossible to defend even the triumphant revolution when infected with "sweet-smelling trend" of capitalism and truth of history that if one is to make a revolution, one should have transparent working class awareness and should never lay down the weapon of the class struggle.
President Kim Il Sung appreciated the drama twice with Premier Zhou Enlai during his historic visits to China and made sure that it was created and performed in Korea, too.
Kim Jong Il gave instructions to the State Theatrical Troupe to recreate the drama and briskly perform it this year, the "year of the DPRK-China friendship".
The drama was acclaimed by the audience for rich ideological contents and high artistry.
He highly appreciated the successful performance and extended thanks to all creators and artistes.
Noting that a drama, one of the forms of art with a long history, serves as an important means for the ideological and emotional education of people, he set forth highly important tasks which would serve as guidelines for the troupe's art creation and performing activities.
It is the unchangeable will of the WPK and people to develop and consolidate the long-standing precious DPRK-China friendship provided by the President and the leaders of the elder generation of China, he noted, stressing that cultural and art exchange plays an important role in promoting the friendship between the two peoples.
Among the audience were Vice Marshal of the KPA Kim Yong Chun, minister of the People's Armed Forces, KPA General Ri Yong Ho, chief of the General Staff of the KPA, KPA General Kim Jong Gak, first vice director of the General Political Bureau of the KPA, and other commanding officers of the KPA, Thae Jong Su, chief secretary of the South Hamgyong Provincial Committee of the WPK, Choe Thae Bok and Kim Ki Nam, secretaries of the C.C., the WPK, department directors of the C.C., the WPK, Kang Sok Ju, first vice-minister of Foreign Affairs, and other leading officials.

Jay Hieron: Tyron Woodley
Hes another tough guy, Hieron told the Sherdog Radio Networks Cheap Seats show. This is what I want right now at this point in my career is tough fights. I think Im prepared. Im as skilled as any man out there. What I see from him is hes definitely more of a wrestler, and hopefully he opens it up a little bit. Im prepared for anything. I come from a wrestling background too. His wrestling isnt really scary to me or nothing like that.
Woodley was a two-time All-American wrestler at the University of Missouri. In Strikeforce, he was able to take down and control opponents, though he also showed some capable striking skills when he let his hands go. Most recently, though, he lost the first fight of his career when Nate Marquardt knocked him out in July. Some fighters coming off their first loss would be gun-shy, but Hieron isnt particularly focused on Woodleys mindset.
What Ive got to do is concentrate on me and what Im going to do in this fight and my skills and believe in what Ive got, and when I get out there flow and see how its going and look for my opportunities to present themselves, Hieron said. Im well prepared for that. Whatever game he wants to play, I think I can hold my own. If he wants to try to lay on me, I think Im one of the best at getting back to my feet. If he does get me down, which will be hard, I will get back up eventually. And I could go out and take him down too. My wrestlings just as good.
Hieron is also coming off a loss, having dropped a unanimous decision to Jake Ellenberger in October.
My last fight, I still think I won, but I could have pushed a little more, Hieron said. So again, Im going to be a little more aggressive but intelligent. Im not a reckless fighter. I dont stand there and just trade. Im a thinking fighter. I see stuff coming at me and I move, but Im definitely looking to open up opportunities.

This is what we call: ObamaNomics or LibNomics.
Yesterday on the Senate Floor, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid slammed Republicans for daring to claim regulations kill jobs and stifle the economy.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday bashed Republicans' persistent focus on slashing regulations as a way to improve the economy.
"My Republican friends are yet to bring a single piece of evidence that the regulations they hate so much have the economic harm they claim," said Reid from the floor. "That's because there isn't any."
Reality check: Regulations cost money, therefore, when businesses have to pay more money to comply with regulations, they have less money to pay a salary or wage, meaning the creation of less jobs, leading to less economic growth. It really isn't a hard concept to understand, but liberals just can't seem to get it.

That's not a typo; there really is an army of cows wandering a maze, at least on the cover. I found only one cow inhabiting a maze in the book proper, but that maze is quite the labyrinth. Still, I'm getting ahead of myself.
If you glance occasionally through Scientific American — even if, like me, you glance through someone else's copy (thanks, dad!) — then you know that they have for decades run columns on "mathematical games" or "recreational mathematics." You likely know that the late Martin Gardner started this, and kept it up for decades. One of his successors is Ian Stewart, the author of this text. Those of you familiar with his work there don't need to read much further, because the twenty-one chapters of this book constitute the third collection of Stewart's columns. You can guess that this attractive paperback is more convenient than several years' worth of SciAm magazines, and it might interest you that, for many chapters, Stewart has added reader feedback and given resources for further study. You can now go back to playing with your sphericons (p. 135 of this text).
For the rest of you: Cows in the Maze is a collection of Stewart's lively columns from Scientific American on "recreational mathematics." The reader would be right to guess from the armies of cows and engineers on the cover that one chapter describes a maze whose rules change while you navigate it.
Like the cover illustration, the mathematics in this book is playful and invites experiment. Stewart covers a broad range of topics; for starters, probability theory, number theory, knot theory, combinatorial geometry, and mathematical physics. Even algebra shows up in a chapter that explains why you can prove a negative in mathematics; Stewart provides a clear, high-level explanation as to why ruler-and-compass constructions cannot double the cube, trisect the angle, or square the circle.
Topics in this text are user-friendly, and target an audience more general than math majors. Explanations are given, but not proofs. In the chapter on ruler-and-compass constructions, for example, the messy details of Galois theory are left hidden: you tour the palace, but not the plumbing. As such, the text will appeal to math phobes as well as math philes. Most chapters are quite visual and hands-on, encouraging the reader to play with the problem. (See the book's subtitle: mathematical explorations.) You can throw loaded dice, roll the aforementioned sphericon, explore a calculus for children's string constructions like Cat's Cradle, and engage in mathematical dance.
In most chapters, Stewart raises a number of questions along the lines of, "What if…?" or, "How can I…?" Some of these questions are answered; others are left open; and often enough, Stewart supplies both answers and reasons to suggest that the question remains open. Algebraic formulas are more or less absent — It was Gardner, Stewart writes in the introduction, who showed me that mathematics is much broader and richer than anything I'd been exposed to at school — and while Stewart explores deep mathematical ideas, he writes at a level that is accessible not only to the educated, but to the educable. It isn't light reading, but no sophisticated mathematical background is required to begin. Indeed, many of the problems and solutions appearing throughout the book are due to individuals whose primary career is not mathematical.
The chapters are mostly independent, so you can chew on some pieces at different times. Nor do you have to spend very much time getting to understand them. I have read the whole book and can honestly say that I found two chapters so spectacularly uninteresting that I didn't bother trying to make sense of them, so I skimmed them instead. Stewart encourages this in the introduction: [D]on't get hung up on difficult details, plough ahead anyway. Often light then dawns, and if not, you can always go back and try again.
Although Stewart cautions in the introduction that this is not a textbook, it could still prove useful in a classroom or extracurricular setting: an Honors class in mathematics designed primarily for humanities majors, a math club activity, or a Math Circle for high school students. Some of the topics could stimulate ideas for undergraduate or even graduate research projects, and some of it is the result of professional research! Engagement of some of the topics requires movement and construction: go ahead, try to make your way through the maze without cheating. You can have a lot of fun with this book, especially if you see it as the beginning of a lot of new activities that start with the questions, "What if…?" or "How do I…?;"

Today, Paradox has announced the latest entry into the Europa Universalis strategy series; Europa Universalis IV. The game will be released towards the end of 2013. The latest in the Europa Universalis series will continue to offer the same nation and empire building gameplay as before, allowing players to use trade, diplomacy and war in order to develop their nation. However, a couple of things have changed since the release of EU III in 2004.
Having the benefit of Crusader Kings II and Sengoku under its belt means that Paradox Interactive has been able to improve the Europa Universalis series greatly, including the addition of trade routes instead of centres of trade, visual improvements to the map that now take into account seasons, but perhaps more significantly, an emphasis on 'Monarch Power'.
The new Monarch system is a feature which heavily draws from CK II, as explained by Paradox Development Studio manager Thomas Johansson:
"To a certain extent it was inspired by CK2, especially how great persons gives you a personal connection to your country and how monarchs of different types will nudge your country in different directions. But you don't play the monarch, you play the country."
Many choices that are made in the game will be influenced by the type of monarch at the head of your nation. This is explained further by Johansson:
"When you have a strong military monarch you have more power to take military initiatives, then his son comes along who is more of a peacemaker and your armies won't be as flexible any more but perhaps your country can have what it takes to make more and better deals with others.
History is shaped by people, and we want the player to feel that his country is shaped both by the geographical and economical conditions but also by the people that lead it."
The game will boast over a thousand historical leaders and over 4000 monarchs, so the player will have plenty to choose from. However, this historical accuracy is not just limited to the monarchs and leaders in the game. EU IV will boast historical events that are unique to the culture or nation that they affect, which differs from the randomly generated events in previous titles.
Also, in terms of multiplayer, EU IV will support up to 32 player including co-op, and will have full mod support. Johansson's portrayal of the action sounds nothing short of enticing:
"I guess a game of EU is both, really: you build your country in competition with others. Then you band together with others to contain that guy who is growing really fast, and the moment you realise that your 'ally' only has your country to expand into and it's on to plan 'backstab.'"
Europa Universalis IV is poised for release in Q3 2013, but look for it in action soon at Gamescom. In the meantime, check out the announcement trailer and some screenshots below. (Note: the screenshots are from a pre-alpha build.)

Actually, lactose intolerance doesn't typically cause constipation, but conversely causes abdominal pain and often loose stools or diarrhea. When this 1-year-old child suddenly developed hard stools, the problem may seem to have been "caused" by the switch from formula to whole milk, but this is probably coincidental.
All told, this often leads to bouts of constipation that can be managed with the addition of more fluids, bite-sized prunes (which can often be "sold" as raisins to young children) and apple prune juice, or even milk of magnesia if necessary.
Lactose intolerance is defined as the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and milk products. The problem is due to a deficiency in the enzyme lactase, which is produced by cells lining the small intestine.
Lactose intolerance is uncommon in young children and is typically not seen before the age of 2-3 years. It's more common in older children and teens, who may complain of abdominal pain, cramping, gas, bloating and diarrhea after ingesting dairy products. In most cases, lactose intolerance is diagnosed on clinical history alone, and if suspected, is managed by eliminating dairy products to see if the symptoms improve.
In many cases, even children with a lactase deficiency may tolerate some lactose in their diet, such as a scoop of ice cream, or milk on their cereal, but only experience symptoms when they have "too much milk." Fortunately, there are products like lactose free milk, which will provide a child with the necessary vitamin D and calcium, which is so important during childhood.
Dietary supplements should also be used in children who don't drink milk to meet their daily calcium and vitamin D requirements. Lastly, lactose intolerance is different than a milk allergy, which is fairly uncommon and is due to an allergy to the proteins in milk, not the lactose. True milk allergy usually presents itself in early infancy.

What do chickens eat in the wild?
that our introduction
to chicken tractors series has wound down, I'm going to
turn my attention to chicken feed. Most backyard chicken keepers
probably go the easy route just like we do and buy commerical chicken
feed at the store. This grain-based feed certainly isn't the
cheapest option, and I wonder if it's the healthiest.

Centre-midfield: Aaron Ramsey
The Premier League's in-form player is the first name on the team sheet for Arsene Wenger these days.
That stays the same in this combined XI - we simply can't leave this goal-scoring and assisting machine out.
Ramsey has scored eight goals this season, already doubling last season's return.
He's brimming with confidence and looks likely to continue his brilliant form.

Mental health groups in Sleaford to share £200k funding pot
Posted: June 25, 2012|
THREE Sleaford community groups that help people with mental health problems have been awarded a share of a £200,000 funding pot.
A total of 64 Lincolnshire community groups, voluntary and other independent organisations are set to have a share of the £200,000 mental illness prevention fund including North Kesteven's Hill Holt Health, the district's Community Garden Project and Sleaford-based Mental Health Support and Local Group Support.
Paul Jackman, the trust's associate director of strategic partnerships, said: "Both the trust and county council recognise the valuable part many local groups and organisations play in helping support people with mental health problems to enjoy a good quality of life, and how they can often help prevent someone becoming unwell again in the future."
Launched by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and Lincolnshire County Council earlier this year, the fund aims to help people aged 18 to 64 years of age, who have lived through a period of mental illness, or those experiencing mental health problems for the first time.
Mr Jackman added: "This fund is intended to assist new and existing groups in being able to continue to offer this vital support and also help people get the right help, at the right time."
A second wave of funding for a share of £375,000 will be open later this year.
Other county-wide groups which enjoyed a share of the money includes Happy Door - Happy Communities, No Wrong Door and Framework Housing Support.

Washington — A year-old commitment to focus new resources on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) is making progress in delivery of medicine and preventive treatment to 1 billion poor people most severely affected by these conditions.
A broad coalition of governments, health agencies and private companies issued the London Declaration in January 2012, vowing to step up action on these diseases, aiming for the control and elimination of 10 NTDs by 2020. From Promises to Progress, issued by the coalition, finds "exciting progress," with pharmaceutical partners in the coalition stepping up their donations of medicines to 1.12 billion treatments. Those commitments fulfilled the request from nations where the diseases are endemic and "removed a key bottleneck to the successful treatment and prevention of NTDs," according to a press release about the report.
The coalition report also notes increased financial commitments from donor nations. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has steadily increased its donations in recent years to reach $89 million in 2012. The United Kingdom upped its NTD commitment to the equivalent of $42.5 million, a 70 percent increase over the U.K.'s 2011 support for NTD treatment and eradication.
The heightened focus on NTDs from the international community has sparked greater action from endemic nations, the coalition reports, with 40 nations drawing up multiyear plans for attacking NTDs.
"The prospects for success have never been so strong," said Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization, which is responsible for outlining the targets for control and long-term elimination of NTDs. "Many millions of people are being freed from the misery and disability that have kept populations mired in poverty for centuries."
USAID is working in 24 countries to combat NTDs, with populations that represent 41 percent of the global need.
"We are beginning to see control and elimination of these diseases in many countries," said USAID's Dr. Ariel Pablos-Mendez. "It's a triumph of partnership -- working together to create new medicines, get the drugs to the communities that need them, and enlist local support to ensure appropriateness of proposed interventions." Mendez is the assistant administrator for global health at USAID.
These diseases sicken, disable and disfigure more than 1 billion people in 149 countries. Historical records document that some of these conditions have plagued humankind for millennia. While the diseases are not always fatal, they may cause lifelong disabilities that limit an individual's opportunities and productivity. Economic analysts have found evidence that these diseases and resulting disabilities contribute to a persistent cycle of poverty that limits progress in some developing-world nations.
The 10 diseases targeted for elimination by 2020 include trachoma, which is the world's leading cause of blindness, Chagas' disease, guinea worm disease, sleeping sickness, elephantiasis, leprosy, river blindness, schistosomiasis, intestinal worms and visceral leishmaniasis.
The campaign against NTDs is also being pursued under the Global Health Initiative, launched by the Obama administration in 2009.
Other partners in the NTD coalition include the World Bank, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and an array of companies representing the pharmaceutical industry, including AstraZeneca, Bayer, Merck, Pfizer and Sanofi.

A source close to the high-profile case against embattled dancehall entertainer Vybz Kartel has revealed that the artiste's 2010 S-Class Mercedes-Benz among other assets, have been released to his family.
THE STAR understands that the assets were released to the artiste's family by the police last month.
In 2010, the deejay had made the talk of the town with his luxury motor vehicle.
In an interview with THE STAR that same year, Kartel said, "no deejay eva own a S-Class Benz. This Benz is the flagship of the Benz's line, meaning dis a di top, top Benz."
He further said, "It do everything except fly, the body can raise, it just have the whole driving experience, is like yuh a drive pon air."
However, last year, it was reported that the deejay's S-Class Mercedes-Benz which is said to value over $12 million along with documentation regarding properties he owns were seized.
THE STAR understands that the items were being stored at the Police Commissioner's office in St Andrew.
According to the credible source yesterday, the deejay's S-Class Benz is with his family, "I can confirm that the assets were released to his family. I have seen the vehicle (S-Class Mercedes-Benz)," the source told THE STAR yesterday.
The source also told THE STAR that some of the other items that were returned include the deejay's passport and computer.
Kartel was recently granted $3 million bail in the Home Circuit Court in relation to the murder case of businessman Barrington 'Bossy' Burton.
However, he remains in custody in connection with the murder of Clive 'Lizard' Williams.
Williams was reportedly beaten and stabbed in Havendale, St Andrew, on August 16, but the police are yet to locate his body.
In the meantime, Kartel, who has been in custody since October 1 last year is to return to court on April 13.

"This is a kind of controlled devaluation," said one of the bankers from a state bank who had attended meetings with the central bank governor to discuss the plan.
"And this is only in the first four hours," he added, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
According to the new plan, retail buyers will pay up to 2 percent commission on purchasing dollars from the bank. It also limits banks from holding more than 1 percent of their capital net worth in foreign currency, down from 10 percent.
"This will create new supply," Abdel-Hamid said.
Both bankers said it remains to be seen how the new auction system will help stabilize Egypt's currency as the market remains worried about the government's ability to draw up and implement reforms in a highly polarized political environment.
Prime Minister Hesham Kandil tried to address those concerns, calling for national unity in the face of tough economic reforms needed to secure the IMF loan and buoy investor confidence.
"We need the vote of confidence from the IMF," he told reporters. "We hope to have more consensus on the government program. We hope there are no core changes to our plan with the fund," he added. He did not say when talks with the IMF would resume.
At another venue, Finance Minister Mumtaz el-Said told reporters that the governor of the central bank was meeting with heads of banks to discuss the outcome of the auction.
"The alternative to devaluing the pound may be to print money," el-Said said. "We refuse this ... Since 2003 till now, we never printed money." Devaluing the pound, he added, could add to the government burden and the budget but will also boost the government's foreign currency earners, such as Suez Canal revenues.

A COMMON form of anaemia and vitamin A deficiency could potentially be banished among people whose staple diet is rice, thanks to new breeds of genetically modified plants.
At least a quarter of the world's populationand 58 per cent of women in southern Asiasuffer from anaemia as a result of iron deficiency, which can also lead to physical and mental retardation, premature births and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. "You will not find any illness worldwide which is so widely distributed," says Ingo Potrykus, a plant scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich.
Rice contains the least iron of any cereal grain. In addition, it is rich in a compound called phytate, which can prevent the uptake of up to 98 per cent of iron from other dietary sources by binding to it in the gut.
Potrykus and his colleagues mounted a three-pronged attack on the problem. ...

HTML5 Canvas: Lunch Wheel
In the on going battle to make my lunch time more optimised I decided to learn some Javascript, and how to use the HTML5 Canvas element. Turns out it's not that hard, and I have now created
The Lunch Wheel. It helps me find lunch close to my office in the Courthouse area of Arlington, VA.
1) Firefox 3.5 (linux) doubled the size of the fonts when I was setting the font in "pt". When I switched to "em" things seemed to work consistently across browsers. 30fps
2) Android 2.2 (Droid 2) works well but slowly. It also didn't support the Audio tag. 6fps
3) Android 3.0 (Xoom Tablet) seemed to have some issues rendering half of the wheel. It looked like a bug with the hardware acceleration. I made some minor tweaks to the rendering and things started to work. 15fps
4) iPhone 3 didn't render any of the text, but played the sound and spun the wheel. 3fps
5) iPhone 4 rendered fine but as slowly as the Android 2.2 device. 5fps
6) Chrome (linux) worked great, and was the platform I was developing on. 30fps (max)
I was also using the clip() method to ensure the text didn't go outside of the wheel, but this heavily impacted performance. So instead I just chopped the text manually and performance doubled.
I realise HTML5 is new, but I'm really hoping all browsers will start to support it consistently and across the board. I'd hate to start writing large blocks of code to cope with all the browser quirks.
Also, thanks to jQuery, TinySort and ExplorerCanvas (which I still haven't made work).
Update: Soon to come, the ability to find your own lunch places, as well as integration with foursquare so you can see how popular the venues are with your friends.

I get around 10 FPS on my transformer.
Dude this is brilliant (although currently not working), reckon you should whack it on github…
Haha brilliant. It need customising to to Salford and a bit of design adding!
Is there any way to make the wheel to start rotating and stop at a item which is already selected by a random draw.
For ex : i ve selected "five guys" by randomly first. then make the wheel to spin and stop at "five guys" exactly.
Is it possible with this spin wheel? if so wat part of code need to be changed?
Hi. Nice work.
I can't get it to run in IE 9. It seems to be a problem with explorer canvas. Any thoughts on that?
How can i stop this wheel on a pre defined value…..???????
This works in IE10 by changing the IE compatibility to standard and changing UA string to Mozilla/Safari/Chrome (F12 > Tools > Change user agent string).
Would be nice, if you guys avoid browser sniffing and use feature detection instead for IE and remove IE7 compatibility meta tag.
var elem = document.createElement('canvas');
return!!(elem.getContext && elem.getContext('2d');
Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/hh475813.aspx
Hi, this looks great, but I can't make it work. I just want to download the code and change the options in the wheel and make it work locally. I try with the option "Save as", and with copy/paste the content in "Elements" tag in Chrome DevTools (F12), but I didn't get lucky. Please help! Thanks!
Wow, Andrew, this a some piece of software that I plan to use with kids. I have a question for you: how can I make the click sound repeat itself all along? I can only play once it at the start of the turn. Thank you!
I want to change Needle position at top. how can i do?
Hi, this wheel is really great. However i don't manage to display an alert with the winning value. Can you help me please?
Hi can u any one help me what should i do that this could choose the north (top) segment as the winner , not the one on the East (right)? thanks alot
how to return the value after the wheel stoped ?
Great! I lovin it!
Can anybody tell me how to download the source code ?
there`s no download option with jsfiddle …
hi great work
but one question how can i remove the winner from the list automatically

Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
Great Mixer. The sound is top notch. I love the firewire integration with the computer. Works well with VST's
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
I purchased this unit as an interface with Pro Tools M powered and to be used as a mixing board for various applications. So far it has fulfilled my needs extensively. The routing options are nice and the mic preamps sound great. The only thing left to be desired for me would be a second sweepable mid on the first four channels as well as a couple more bussing options. All in all the unit is well built (like a tank) and the features are user friendly. It seems to work well in both capacities as a board and an interface. The universal driver for Pro Tools M powered will cost you the extra 50 bones but the functionality is great.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
First off , another reviewer complained of low vocal recording levels...They were trying to record vocals with a dynamic mic.. If he/she had connected ANY condencer vocal mic to this unit, they would have found its plenty loud for recording with the channel gain at about 45% to 50%. If your a singer trying to record live band practice using your hand held dynamic mic, you will need a externel pre-amp or a hand held condencer. I think you will find this is needed for ANY recording interface in the price range. My Motu 896mkIII was exactly the same way. This was supposed to be a "downgrade" from my Motu, but so far the drivers have proved far more reliable, both can be used as a mixer, this is far superior for that purpose, and the recording quality is near indentical. It feels like an upgrade!
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
I had to send mine back. The mixer shows in the Apple Audio/Midi setup and can be selected in Logic, but channel routing does not work in Logic. you can search the boards on this as well, many have had this problem. From a purely analog stand point, this board is not as "warm" or "musical" as my old 1202-VLZ. I would avoid this one.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
The Mackie Onyx 1220i is a solidly built board. Any "volume" issues you see in the reviews are usually operator (owner) error or the software or settings you are using. You have to take the time to learn how to use this board and it's features. Everyone just wants to rip open the box and go without getting up on the learning curve-me included-but the more I take time to experiment the more I've learned. I had some volume issues on my PC with Adobe 3.0-the wave files show up very small. But, when plugged into an I-Mac using Logic or Garage Band, you can change the view of the screen and see that volume levels are normal amd the recordings are clean and free of the "noise" I had on my PC. On playback, the volume levels are fine. I'm mostly using a Rode Tube condensor mic and the gain is at about 12 O'clock. Love the feel of the Mackie mixer vs. software mixers. The mic pre's are very good. The mixer is not "ugly" and it's built like a tank. It would be helpful if Mackie provided a video on features and "how to use" this mixer because there are so many different features and ways to use this console. I've owned Presonus and have tried other DAW interfaces and the Mackie Onyx 1220i is the best I've used so far.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
The Mackie Onyx I series shows really low levels in recordings, compared with other (cheap or more expensive) competition products.Wit normal talking, gain trim at maximum (yes, at maximum) you only get peaks of 8% from the total space filled in your DAW.With any other product I have used, gain trimmed at 2 a clock, you get 90% of the total dynamic range.If you really want to use this for recordings... you will end up recording only REALLY lowd sources, like drums and snares.For voice is practically unusable.Sorry Mackie, this series is a lemon.Oh, an the driver is getting wild if more than one program tries to access simultaneous the firewire interface.The customer support claim that "this is normal behavior" for this series, nothing to fix.
Comments about Mackie Onyx 1220i Firewire Mixer:
Mackie's mixers are the toughest, most dependable on the market and very reasonably priced. The new Onyx "i" class mixers incorporate a firewire interface that was previously a $400+ add on. Great for recording your band live, or getting your songs into the computer...BUT...for goodness sake did that have to make it SOOOOO ugly. What's with the "bootheel" profile. Looks like an afterthough compared to the smooth flowing lines of previous Onyx mixers. Would it have really cost that much more to incorporate a more visually pleasing case that would also sit better on uneven surfaces???? Not very pretty...but very functional.

Full text not available from this repository.
Background Differentiation of the so-called sinus venosus defect from other defects permitting shunting between the atrial chambers remains problematic. The lesion is not a true septal defect, and current theories to explain the existence of the sinus venosus defect fall short. The presence of persistent systemic to pulmonary venous connections has been proposed to explain the existence of the sinus venosus defect. Methods Clinical histories and radiological findings of six patients are reviewed. Three patients have veno-venous bridges, two have partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections, and one patient has a sinus venosus defect. The clinical information is reviewed, along with current developmental and morphological considerations. Discussion We provide radiographic, developmental, and morphological evidence to support the theory that a so-called sinus venosus defect is the consequence of persistence of foetal systemic to pulmonary veno-venous bridges, rather than of deficiencies in atrial septation.

press release
The Department of Communications (DoC) hosted a successful conference in June that placed Africa on the global Information and Communication Technology (ICT) map. The partnerships with the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and all the various sponsors attest to that and it was hailed internationally as a success.
One of the objectives of the conference was the creation of an avenue for governments, regulators, big and small businesses, academics and students alike, to interact with ICT. As a result of the conference, African ICT ministers are well positioned to ensure that the continent achieves greater and faster development through the deployment of ICT. The conference was also a platform for delegates to do business and facilitate intra-Africa trade. Indications from delegates give us comfort that indeed this has been achieved.
A first of its kind, the event attracted 1 500 delegates, among them the world's leading ICT experts, more 20 ministers and deputy ministers from across Africa, and 89 international media organisations. They discussed ways Africa could claim its rightful place in the technology revolution and use ICT to achieve developmental goals.
Deputy Secretary General of the ITU Houlin Zhao, who attended the Indaba and was one of the key guest speakers, said the Indaba served a meaningful role in helping South Africa and the rest of the continent find practical solutions to their development goals.
"Today, the best solutions to socio-economic issues are found through vigorous debate and discussion, and most importantly the sharing of intelligence and the formation of trans-continental partnerships. The ICT Indaba provided a venue and platform for this. There is no doubt that the main beneficiary of the conference is Africa itself," said Zhao.
According to a March 2012 IMF report, seven of the top 10 fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa. The continent is thus geared to harnessing this economic growth potential and ensuring that the benefits are spread to all, especially the poor. In this regard ICT is generally seen as a strategic and a key enabler.
The commitment of the African ministers who attended this conference further underlines Africa's political will to ensure that the continent moves away from being just consumers of technology but to also create local intellectual property (IP).
Ministers also agreed to roll out broadband to 80% of the population on the continent by 2020. It was agreed to roll out digital terrestrial television (DTT) to increase the ICT skills base on the continent and create jobs. These jobs will mainly come from the manufacturing of Set-Top-Boxes (decoders) that are required to convert analogue signals into digital. This can lead to the electronics manufacturing sector in Africa being reignited.
To achieve these objectives the ministers set up a secretariat whose first goal is to expand this vision to all the nations including those who were not represented at the conference. These are just some of the many serious issues tackled at the inaugural ICT Indaba which should continue to receive media coverage. The Department is proud to have been a driver in hosting this ground breaking initiative.
The concept of the ICT Indaba was proposed by Carol Bouwer Designs (CBD) as early as August 2010. The DoC saw value in the proposal and then established an internal committee to work towards hosting such an event. To assist in making this event a reality R10 million was committed to secure the venue, conference speakers, the audio systems and interpreters. The rest of the funds were expected to be raised from sponsors. To aid the securing of sponsorships, endorsement letters were also issued as is required by the industry.
Due process in-line with procurement policies and processes as prescribed by National Treasury were followed in appointing Carol Bouwer Designs as the service provider for the ICT Indaba 2012. These guidelines are contained in the Practice Note SCM 11 of 2008. As expected for a project of this magnitude Carol Bouwer Designs duly submitted a preliminary close-out report and an audited report on the finances to the DoC. The Auditor General report will be available at the end of August 2012, with the release of the annual report. The report found that the Minister and all the officials of the DoC followed proper processes and procedures in engaging the service provider and in executing the Indaba.
The Minister believes it is important that the ICT Indaba be seen for what it was an opportunity for South Africa to create a positive legacy for the continent and its people. The event attracted R16, 3-million worth of positive global publicity, and has helped position South Africa as being at the forefront of driving access to ICT in Africa.
Unfortunately some recent media reports have tended to focus on alleged wrong-doings by Minister of Communication, Ms Dina Pule. When the Minister assumed her duties at the end of October 2011 the ICT Indaba was already a departmental project and in March 2012 the project assumed national importance after Cabinet approval. Hence Deputy President Kgalema Motlhanthe opened the Indaba on 05 June 2012.This meant that the Minister had to make sure that the DoC delivered a quality conference of international standing.
The Minister would like to thank Telkom SA, Vodacom, MTN, SABC, MultiChoice and all the other sponsors for their support of the Indaba through sponsorships. "We value the relationships we have with the private sector. Without these companies' input and support, the ICT Indaba would not have been possible," she said. The Minister would also like to acknowledge the Office of the Auditor General for their work in assisting the DoC in adhering to good corporate governance.
The DoC has always believed that the processes we followed were open and transparent.
With the endorsement and support of the ITU, sponsors and government the DoC is committed to making the ICT Indaba an annual event.

The notation used to represent all antiderivatives of a function f( x) is the indefinite integral symbol written , where . The function of f( x) is called the integrand, and C is reffered to as the constant of integration. The expression F( x) + C is called the indefinite integral of F with respect to the independent variable x. Using the previous example of F( x) = x 3 and f( x) = 3 x 2, you find that .
The indefinite integral of a function is sometimes called the general antiderivative of the function as well.
Example 1: Find the indefinite integral of f( x) = cos x.
Example 2: Find the general antiderivative of f( x) = –8.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Porsha Stewart Calls Kenya Moore "Low Class" in Twitter War: What Else Did She Say?
Since they both joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta this season, we were holding out hope that Porsha Stewart and Kenya Moore would get along — solidarity, sister! — but after Porsha's debut last Sunday, our dreams were shattered.
Kenya didn't like Porsha from the moment they met for lunch, and matters only got worse when Porsha wrongly referred to Kenya as Miss America at her charity dinner. Oh, P, everybody knows that Kenya won Miss U.S.A., not Miss America.
In a classic case of overreacting for the cameras, an annoyed Kenya left Porsha's soiree before dinner was even served, and when Porsha followed her outside to try and defuse the situation the insults started flying.
"At this point, I will have to ask you just to go ahead and leave," Porsha said.
And while Kenya left the party, she told the Bravo cameras, "No sweetheart, you didn't kick me out. because this is my back as I'm leaving."
But Porsha wasn't done just yet. As she was watching the episode, she tweeted, "People who act up at during a Charity event are the Epitome of low class!"
"But Kenya's identity is resting on XXX magazines........ Smh," Porsha also shared.
Clearly these two won't be calling a truce anytime soon, but do you think Kenya overreacted by storming out of the event? Vote below!

Government shutdown averted as $1 trillion bill nears passage
"We're still working on the long-term" bill, Reid told reporters as he exited the Capitol after a day of talks over both the payroll tax and spending measures. As for the two-month version, he said, "We'll only do that if what we're working on doesn't work out."
Reid's remarks put a slight damper on a day on which for the first time, Democratic and Republican leaders expressed optimism at prospects for swift compromise on their payroll tax standoff and a spending battle that had threatened to shutter federal agencies beginning at midnight Friday.
A deal on the $1 trillion-plus spending bill was reached after Republicans agreed to drop language that would have blocked President Barack Obama's liberalized rules on people who visit and send money to relatives in Cuba. But a GOP provision will stay in the bill thwarting an Obama administration rule on energy efficiency standards that critics argued would make it hard for people to purchase inexpensive incandescent light bulbs.
A senior White House official said the administration supported the two-month plan.
Bargainers were considering the two-month extension of this year's payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits bill because so far, they haven't agreed how a yearlong extension would be paid for, said a Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private talks.
The two-month bill would cost $40 billion, according to the aide. It would be paid for from a list of around $120 billion in savings that bargainers are considering, including sales of the broadcast spectrum and raising fees that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac charge to back mortgages, the aide said.

So I was sitting at the dinner table with my wife one night. Out of the blue, she tells me she wants breast implants.
I explain to her that her breasts are just fine, and not only that, but implants are really expensive.
She keeps going on about how it would make her look and feel younger and blah blah blah. She just wouldn't shut up.
So, I excused myself from the table, went down the hall to the bath room, and came back. I handed her a roll of toilet paper.
"What am I supposed to do with this'" she asks?
"Rub it on your breasts every night before you go to bed," I tell her.
Her: What will that do?
Me: It will make your breasts bigger.
Her: That won't work you moron.
Me: Yes it will.
Her: How?
Me: I don't know exactly....But...you've been wiping your butt with it for years, and look how damned big "it" got!!!!!!!!
.....She was not amused...

Brownish crusty bumps or clusters of yellowish, brown, reddish, gray, or white scaly bumps cover the trunk, branches, or the undersides of leaves. The bumps can be scraped or picked off. Leaves turn yellow and may drop, and twigs or branches may die back. A shiny, sticky substance often coats the leaves, and may be covered with a black sooty mold.

PARASITIC wasps siphon off antifreeze from their fly hosts to protect them from chilly wintersa discovery which could improve biological control of pest flies.
But the wasps don't go into diapause until up to two months after the flies. To try to explain this, David Rivers of Loyola College in Maryland and his colleagues studied how the host's diapause affects parasite hardiness. They found that wasps reared on diapausing pupae could tolerate lower temperatures longer than wasps reared on pupae of hosts that hadn't entered diapause.
And diapausing pupae contained twice as much of the antifreeze glycerol as non-diapausing pupae. Because glycerol levels in parasites ...

THE man who invented the clockwork radio is backing a new organisation designed to save British inventors from predatory corporations and their own lack of business know-how.
The British Academy of Invention, as Trevor Baylis has dubbed it, will aim to help inventors with all aspects of the commercialisation of their ideas, including patenting, business planning, prototyping, product design and marketing. One of the aims is to staunch the flow of British innovations to offshore companies: Baylis could not find a local backer for his radio and feels that better advice would have helped him commercialise the device in Britain.
Backing Baylis's plan is the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, which last week voted to offer the academy free office space at its London headquarters. "Trevor is aiming to protect inventors working in a shed at the bottom of the garden," says John Ling, head of the manufacturing branch of the ...

Days before its U.S. premiere, the makers of "Bruno" have permanently cut a scene involving LaToya Jackson from the film. A studio spokesperson told The Wrap that the move was "out of respect for the Jackson family," wisely sensing that this is not the best time for the sister of the deceased to be seen eating sushi off of a naked man. Although a full cut of the film has already screened in Europe, the scene with Jackson will not appear in any further screenings. 'Bruno' premieres July 10.

EUPORA — Share a little local history this Christmas as the Eupora Main Street program launches a special fund-raiser at this year's Webster County Christmas Market.
The Eupora Christmas Market is set from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Saturday in downtown Eupora.
This year, the Eupora Main Street will be selling limited edition pewter ornaments, featuring a picture of an iconic historic building with a few sentences sharing its historic significance to the community on the back of the ornament.
This year's ornament will features the Eupora Depot building, circa. 1917.
Cynthia Wilson, executive director of the Webster County Development Council/ Eupora Main Street program said the ornaments will be sold at this year's Christmas Market, and in years to come.
"This is the first in a series of ornaments that ill be sold each year," Wilson said.
Wilson said in coming years, ornaments will depict the Old Eupora High School building (currently the county school district offices); the Eupora Post Office; the Triangle building; and the Old Elementary School building that burned in the '70-'71 school year.
The ornaments will be dated with the year they are offered. There will be only 250 ornaments available and they will sell for $16 (tax included).
For more information about the ornament fund-raiser, contact the WCDC at 258-7835

Hey guys. My pc is new right now, i am still optimising it. My motherboard is not functioning 100% right now (waiting for the go-ahead for RMA from Asus).
My problem is 3dmark05. The bloody framerate will NOT go over 29fps. AT ALL in the first test. It will go as low as 21fps SOMETIMES, but 90% of the time it is at 29fps. I ran the test 2 days ago when I had windows 64 running on this pc and was getting a constant 41fps.
It looks an auful lot like a frame cap, but I went in the settings and it doesn't seem like it is turned on... weird.
Again, it could be my MOBO which is not stable at all. (it is obviously broken as everyone claims that the a8n-e is uber good)

Eggers's brother Bill is a researcher who has worked for several conservative think tanks, doing research on privatization. His sister, Beth, claimed that Eggers grossly understated her role in raising their brother Toph and made use of her journals in writing A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius without compensating her. She later recanted her claims in a posting on her brother's own website McSweeney's Internet Tendency, referring to the incident as "a really terrible LaToya Jackson moment". On March 1, 2002, the New York Post reported that Beth, then a lawyer in Modesto, California, had committed suicide. Eggers briefly spoke about his sister's death during a 2002 fan interview for McSweeney's.
Eggers was one of three 2008 TED Prize recipients. His TED Prize wish: for community members to personally engage with local public schools.
In 2002, Eggers published his first novel, You Shall Know Our Velocity, a story about a frustrating attempt to give away money to deserving people while haphazardly traveling the globe. An expanded and revised version was released as Sacrament in 2003 and retitled You Shall Know Our Velocity! for its Vintage imprint distribution. He has since published a collection of short stories, How We Are Hungry, and three politically-themed serials for Salon.com. In November 2005, Eggers published Surviving Justice: America's Wrongfully Convicted and Exonerated, compiling the book of interviews with exonerees once sentenced to death. The book was compiled with Lola Vollen, "a physician specializing in the aftermath of large-scale human rights abuses" and "a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley's Institute of International Studies and a practicing clinician. Novelist Scott Turow wrote the introduction to Surviving Justice. Eggers's most recent novel, What Is the What: The Autobiography of Valentino Achak Deng (McSweeney's, 2006), was a finalist for the 2006 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. Eggers is also the editor of the Best American Nonrequired Reading series, an annual anthology of short stories, essays, journalism, satire, and alternative comics.
Eggers is the founder of McSweeney's, an independent publishing house. McSweeney's produces a quarterly literary journal, McSweeney's, first published in 1998; a monthly journal, The Believer, which debuted in 2003 and is edited by wife Vida; and, beginning in 2005, a quarterly DVD magazine, Wholphin. Other works include The Future Dictionary of America, Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans, and the "Dr. and Mr. Haggis-On-Whey" children's books of literary nonsense, which Eggers writes with his younger brother. Ahead of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Eggers wrote an essay about the US national team and soccer in the United States for The Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup, a book published with aid of the journal Granta, that contained essays about each competing team in the tournament.
Eggers currently teaches writing in San Francisco at 826 Valencia, a nonprofit tutoring center and writing school for children that he cofounded in 2002. Eggers has recruited volunteers to operate similar programs in Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle, Chicago, and Ann Arbor, Michigan, all under the auspices of the nonprofit organization 826 National. In 2006, he appeared at a series of fundraising events, dubbed the Revenge of the Book–Eaters tour, to support these programs. The Chicago show, at the Park West theatre, featured Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard. Other performers on the tour included Sufjan Stevens, Jon Stewart, Davy Rothbart, and David Byrne. In September 2007, the Heinz Foundations awarded Eggers a $250,000 Heinz award given to recognize "extraordinary achievements by individuals." In accordance with Eggers's wishes, the award money was all given to 826 National.
Eggers was one of the original contributors to ESPN The Magazine and helped create its section titled "The Jump". He acted as the first "Answer Guy", a column that still runs, without his involvement, in the publication.

Re: $499
They tried back in 2007 and Leap rejected them despite the fact that it made sense for both carriers. It seems Leap would rather go bankrupt than merge with Metro. Metro is doing what it has to do: Grow or die a slow death. I agree that it would have made perfect sense. Almost everyone does... Everyone but Leap.

There's a beer ad lately in Scotland that's had me baffled. The soundtrack, Caledonia, is a well-known folk song that was prominent in a 1990s Tennent's Lager commercial. Yet it can't be a phoenix from the ashes: the liquid on display is unquestionably of the bitter variety, and the flat-cap pub environment a matching ale-brown duotone. There are tantalising glimpses of some etched branding on the glass (is that Caledonian, Edinburgh's last brewery standing?), and an endshot with a middle-distance fount, which looks distinctly like Belhaven Best's black-gold-and-white.
All round, I've been confused. Four or five viewings and I still can't work out the brand. For a card-carrying CAMRA member this has been intolerable. I even got to wondering if it's one of those ads the contractors run from time to time (like the one for magic worms, guaranteed to catch fish), to prove advertising works.
Today I put it to Google. Eventually I established the facts. It's not a spoof, nor a fictitious product. It's a Tennent's production, Caledonia Best, with no trace of parent branding. Ordinarily I'd say well done on that score. However, I can't help thinking it's doing a wee favour to its main local competitors. Maybe the dreaded line-extension would have been a safer bet?

BRASSTOWN, NC - Officials from the Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series have released schedule dates for the 2013 racing season. Series founder and promoter Ray Cook has booked the same 10 tracks that were on the series slate last season. However, the order in which they appear on the schedule has differed somewhat in an effort to further reduce travel. The 9th Annual Schaeffer Oil Southern Nationals Series will kick off on Monday, July 15 with a trip to the picturesque Wythe Raceway in Rural Retreat, Virginia and will conclude on Saturday, July 27 at the bad-fast Tazewell Speedway in Tazewell, Tennessee. Those two venues have been the bookends of each Southern Nationals tour since 2006.
The first week of the ten race mini-series will take the cars and stars to the Wythe (Va.) Raceway, Volunteer (Tenn.) Speedway, East Alabama Motor Speedway, Swainsboro (Ga.) Raceway, and Screven (Ga.) Motor Speedway. The second and final week of the 2013 tour will host events at the Rome (Ga.) Speedway, North Georgia Speedway, Cleveland (Tenn.) Speedway, Smoky Mountain (Tenn.) Speedway, and Tazewell (Tenn.) Speedway. As in past years, half of the races will pay $5,300 to win, while the other five shows will pay $3,500 to the winner.
"We are thrilled with the way our 2013 schedule looks and coming off a very good two weeks last year, I can't wait for July to get here," Cook said. "I think it says a lot about our shows that all ten racetracks were retained from last year. We are tickled to be heading back to each of those tracks and with the way the travel schedule shakes out, it should be a lot less miles for both the race teams and the fans. With the fine folks of Schaeffer Oil back on board with us again, it should be another great year in 2013!"
Locally, Allen-based driver Brandon Kinzer has competed in the Southern National Series in multiple seasons.
A breakdown of the 2013 Southern Nationals Series schedule follows.
