Long streets void of automobiles prohibit parking unless your car has a sticker for the Zone. The small (1/2 block) streets leading to the alleys are ruled by parking meters as are the main streets. I do not understand zoned parking. If residents feel other taxpayers are taking "their" spots why not have two hour limits on residential street parking unless one has the Zone sticker. My pet peeve!

They have an informant --who is paid handsomely by the government-- infiltrate your organization. This informant wears a wire and urges illegal criminal activities that he claims will be beneficial to the organization and he swears that they will not be committed by anyone connected to the organization (In this case, Matt Hale himself). After two plus years of this informant asking Matt Hale permission to perform these illegal acts over and over again,Rev. Hale finally disingenuously said "whatever you wanna do" and that was all the proof that the government needed. According to Matt Hale and several of his organization's top associates however, the informant was already believed to be an agent provocateur. The way the courts are demanding it though, you must say "NO" and walk away each and every time. The DOJ did not want to let this opportunity pass them by and arrested Rev. Hale weeks after the supposed crime while the actual criminal, Tony Evola, cashed his government check.

I strongly agree with your analogy of the Fighter Pilot. Each States Attorney in my lifetime uses its powers to basically go after non-violent offenders (mostly white-collar) and impose sentences that are to the most part inhumane.Especially of those who have served the people of our State and City with gust and most instances have gone out of their way to make an even playing field for people of color. (yeah I said it). Thus after so many notches, they go onto become politicians. While, drug traders, killers, and repeat domestic violence offenders continue to receive sentences that deter evidently no one because all continue to grow. And if I know this, the politicians of color should know they have to stop thinking the "white way" and return to thinking the "right way". We should always be under the impression that has held this city to it's image of you're taking the job an O'Leary, Callahan, McDuffy (you get what I'm saying).And thus, you will always be under the eye-glass and punished twice as hard for less.yolie turnerhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-586914322065730371.post-37944888289607131152013-09-06T09:55:30.172-05:002013-09-06T09:55:30.172-05:00I think you pretty much sum up my opinion on this ...I think you pretty much sum up my opinion on this issue -- everything from some wariness of people who think Englewood deserves a Save-a-lot rather than a Whole Food, to the question of exactly how does this work.

The one thing I would add -- and I really hope that someone can get an answer -- is this: with $10mln of TIF money going to the project (more than just the Whole Foods), and the developer saying that the store will cost $3.5mln to build, did the Mayor just give a free store to Whole Food?

And with such a huge gift (and the resulting lower costs), is the business model for the Englewood Whole Food actually just a corporate welfare model? I mean, you get the store for free (or substantially below market), and then you apply for the various tax credits available for a business in a blighted area. It almost doesn't matter if the store makes an actual profit or not; the store is designed to produce tax credits and other government subsidies to that help the Whole chain (see the pun I did there?) have a healthier bottom line.

If that's the model, the next question is: is this the most efficient way to use government dollars to address food deserts? Or this is just another example of a corporate giveaway dressed up as a policy email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-586914322065730371.post-36381094940507942792013-07-30T09:49:04.925-05:002013-07-30T09:49:04.925-05:00irregardless is not a word.irregardless is not a firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-586914322065730371.post-23652951253870866612013-07-07T16:12:51.734-05:002013-07-07T16:12:51.734-05:00That's great, a pepper gut is chief judge.That's great, a pepper gut is chief firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-586914322065730371.post-37439512141737482122013-07-07T05:03:34.100-05:002013-07-07T05:03:34.100-05:00It is exactly that!

The issues are not sex and love; the issues are gender and appearances (as in Hyacinth Bucket?) The Boy Scouts have no more a monopoly on being a boy than heterosexuals have on masculinity. It's fantasy -- which is what the BSA has become. We can do better by our boys by listening to them and responding to them. They don't give a flying nun about "homosexuality". They want to express their natural masculinity -- and that comes in more than one uniform style which, originally, was designed to make sailors and soldiers. We need more than that. We need engineers and scientists. One thing we did learn from the Scouts was that the BSA method was NOT good for the environment. We need a new environment in every respect that responds to boys' needs and desires. We're afraid of our own boys the way proper ladies are afraid of boys' language.

SAS to Cut More Jobs as Fuel Prompts Surprise 42% Profit Decline
Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) -- SAS Group, the Nordic region's largest airline, said it will deepen job cuts after higher fuel costs and sluggish European economies caused second-quarter profit to tumble 42 percent, missing analyst estimates.
Net income fell to 320 million kronor ($47.5 million) from 551 million kronor a year earlier, the Scandinavian Airlines parent said in a statement. Analysts had estimated profit would increase to 565 million kronor, based on four estimates.
SAS, which faces competition from Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA, is scrapping 300 office jobs and will cut more as it seeks a first annual profit since 2007, Chief Executive Officer Rickard Gustafson said in an interview. While the Stockholm-based company's quarterly sales rose 0.6 percent to 11.4 billion kronor, the fuel bill jumped 39 percent 784 million kronor.
"Delivering productivity gains and cost savings will create redundancies that must be taken out," Gustafson said at Arlanda airport, close to the company's headquarters. "The industry is struggling with fuel prices and profitability, so it's difficult to compensate for that with fare increases."
Shares of SAS fell 9.2 percent, the biggest drop since May 3, before trading unchanged at 5.95 kronor as of 11:47 a.m. in Stockholm. They're down 26 percent this year, valuing the company at 1.96 billion kronor. The seven-member Bloomberg EMEA Airlines Index, of which SAS isn't a member, is up 8.6 percent.
Jet-fuel price fell slightly in the second quarter, only to increase again last month, and constitute "a major challenge" for the industry according to Gustafson. The company's 35 unions have agreed to a salary freeze through 2013, he said.
"Passenger revenue isn't increasing, while fuel costs are," said Jacob Pedersen, an analyst at Sydbank A/S in Aabenraa, Denmark, with an "underweight" rating on SAS. "That's a massive problem. The challenge is to continue to cut costs while getting revenues up."
SAS, part-owned by the governments of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, aims to cut costs by as much as 5 percent and boost earnings by 5 billion kronor in 2012 and 2013.

A multi-ply absorbent product, such as a facial tissue, comprising a virucidal composition substantially confined to the middle of the product reduces or eliminates any stinging response associated with contacting the virucidal composition with certain sensitive parts of the body, such as the eyes and nose, yet simultaneously retains virucidal efficacy.
1. A facial tissue comprising three cellulosic plies and a virucidally effective amount of a virucidal composition, wherein said virucidal composition is dry and substantially confined to the center ply and wherein said virucidal composition comprises an acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid, malic acid, and mixture of citric acid and malic acid.
2. The facial tissue of claim 1 wherein the acid is citric acid.
3. The facial tissue of claim 1 wherein the acid is malic acid.
4. The facial tissue of claim 1 wherein the acid is a mixture of citric acid and malic acid.
5. The facial tissue of claim 2, 3, or 4 further comprising sodium lauryl sulfate.
6. The tissue of claim 1 wherein the amount of the virucidal composition is about 2 air dry weight percent or greater, based on the air dry weight of the tissue.
7. A facial tissue comprising three cellulosic plies and a virucidally effective amount of a virucidal composition, wherein said virucidal composition is dry and substantially confined to the center ply and wherein said virucidal composition comprises a carboxylic acid and a surfactant.
8. The tissue of claim 7 wherein the surfactant is an anionic surfactant.
9. The tissue of claim 8 wherein the surfactant is sodium lauryl sulfate.
10. The tissue of claim 7 wherein the amount of the virucidal composition is about 2 air dry weight percent or greater, based on the air dry weight of the tissue.
In a commonly assigned copending application, Ser. No. 447,581, filed Dec. 13, 1982 to Hossain et al., a virucidal composition is disclosed for inactivating certain viruses which are associated with common colds, particularly adenovirus and rhinovirus. The virucidal composition preferably comprises a mixture of one or more carboxylic acids, such as citric acid and malic acid, and a surfactant such as sodium lauryl sulfate.
While experimenting with different product forms to arrive at an acceptable and virucidally effective facial tissue, it was found that the virucidal composition can cause stinging when contacting the eyes and perinasal area of the user. This was considered to be an undesirable characteristic to be eliminated or at least reduced in intensity to a more acceptable level.
It has been found that by confining the virucidal composition substantially only to the center of the tissue, the stinging sensation associated with contacting the virucidal composition with the user's eyes or skin is greatly reduced or completely eliminated, yet the virucidal effectiveness of the tissue is retained. This is surprising in that one might expect it necessary to have the virucidal composition on the outside of the tissue in order to be effective. Hence the invention resides in a multi-ply absorbent product comprising two or more plies and a virucidally effective amount of a virucidal composition, wherein said virucidal composition is substantially confined in the middle of the product. In the case of a three-ply product, which is preferred, the virucidal composition resides substantially solely in the inner ply. Products of this invention include, without limitation, facial tissues, bathroom tissues, paper towels, wipes, and the like.
Suitable virucidal compositions include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in copending application Ser. No. 447,581 filed Dec. 13, 1982 to Hossain, et al., which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. These compositions include, but are not limited to, acids having the formula R-COOH, where R is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl; substituted lower alkyl; carboxy lower alkyl; carboxy hydroxy lower alkyl; carboxy halo lower aklyl; carboxy dihydroxy lower alkyl; dicarboxy hydroxy lower alkyl; lower alkenyl; carboxy lower alkenyl; dicarboxy lower alkenyl; and phenyl and substituted phenyl groups. R is preferably selected from the group consisting of carboxy hydroxy lower alkyl, carboxy dihydroxy lower alkyl, and dicarboxy hydroxy lower alkyl groups. Also included are surfactant(s) and/or combinations of acid(s) and surfactant(s), preferably combinations of acid(s) and anionic surfactant(s). Preferred virucidal compositions include citric acid, malic acid, mixtures of citric acid and malic acid, and combinations of these acid(s) with sodium lauryl sulfate. Other virucidal compositions can also be used provided they are safe and effective.
For purposes herein, "virucidally effective amount" means an amount sufficient to inactivate 99 percent (2 log drop) of rhinovirus type 16 within 10 minutes. A suitable method for testing virucidal efficacy is the Virucidal Assay Procedure disclosed in the abovesaid copending application, although those skilled in the art of virology will recognize other suitable test procedures for this purpose. The amount of the virucidal composition in the product will depend on the efficacy of the virucide. Generally speaking, there will be at least about 2 air dry weight percent of the virucidal composition in the product when the virucidally active ingredients are carboxylic acids.
"Substantially confined to the middle of the product" means that the virucidal composition is concentrated between the two outer surfaces of the product to the extent that very little of the virucidal composition, if any, is present on either of the two outer surfaces. A product having this construction avoids or greatly reduces any undesirable consequences, such as stinging, which may result from the presence of virucide on the surface of the product. For example, in a three-ply product, this is easily accomplished by applying the virucidal composition to the inner ply and substantially drying the inner ply before sandwiching the treated inner ply between the two outer plies. Generally speaking, at least about 70% weight percent of the virucidal composition should remain in the inner ply. In a two-ply product, the virucidal composition can be applied to either or both of the inner surfaces of the two plies before they are combined, but only to the extent there is minimal migration of the virucidal composition to the outer surface of the two-ply product. Preferably, when the virucidal composition comprises acids, the outer surfaces of the multi-ply product should each contain less than about 1 mg. of the virucidal composition per square inch. For a two-ply product this will be difficult to achieve with untreated individual plies having a basis weight of less than about 20 pounds of fiber per 2880 square feet when using aqueous virucidal compositions. Lower basis weights can more readily be employed when using a relatively light application of a virucidal composition to the inner surface of at least one of the two plies, or by treating the inner surface with a water-repellent prior to applying an aqueous virucidal composition to prevent migration of the virucide to the outer surface. Alternatively, if the virucidal composition has a sufficiently high viscosity or consistency, the ply may not quickly absorb the virucidal composition and thereby substantially confine it to the inner surface of the ply.
The plies comprising the products of this invention are preferably webs of cellulosic creped wadding, as are commonly used for making tissues and paper towels, which can be either wet laid or air laid. However, nonwoven webs of synthetic polymeric fibers, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, or of mixtures of synthetic fibers and cellulosic fibers, can also be used.
FIG. 1 illustrates one example of a schematic flow diagram for making a product of this invention.
FIG. 2 illustrates an alternative preferred method of making a product of this invention.
Directing attention to FIG. 1, an example of a method for making the product of this invention is illustrated. Three plies of creped wadding were unwound from a single roll 1A at a speed of 1000 ft/min. Each of the plies had a basis weight of 9 pounds per 2880 square feet. In order to apply the virucidal composition to the inner ply 2, one of the outer plies 3 was separated from plies 2 and 4 as illustrated.
Plies 2 and 4 were passed through a Dahlgren liquid application system 5 which printed a metered amount of the virucidal composition onto the inner ply 2. The virucidal composition 6 consisted of a solution containing 37.4 weight percent citric acid, 18.7 weight percent malic acid, 7.5 weight percent sodium lauryl sulfate, and 63.4 weight percent water. The Dahlgren unit comprised a solution reservoir 7, a metering roll 8, a transfer roll 9, and a back-up roll 10. Virucidal solution was picked up by the metering roll, transferred to the transfer roll, and applied to the center ply in a nip between the transfer roll and the back-up roll. The dry virucidal composition solids add-on, based on the air dry weight of the center ply 2, was about 6.1 mg. per square inch. It will be appreciated that the solids add-on rate must be adjusted for the particular virucidal composition being used. Also, there will naturally be some bleed-through or migration of the virucidal solution to the outer plies 4 and 3 during and after printing due to the absorbent character of the plies and the low viscosity of the virucidal solution. However, the amount of migration or bleed-through is to be minimized in order to minimize stinging sensation which may be detected by the consumer during normal use of the product. That portion of the virucidal composition which does bleed through to the outer ply 4 is preferably concentrated near the inner surface of the outer ply 4. Application of the virucidal composition can be accomplished by means other than printing, such as spraying, extrusion, foam application, or dipping, but printing is preferred because it offers the greatest amount of control for applying this particular virucidal composition.
After applying the virucidal composition to the center ply 2, the outer ply 3 was recombined with the other two plies and the three plies were passed through a flat bed throughdrier 15. Hot air having a temperature of 260� F. and a flow rate of 20,000 ft3 /min. was supplied to the throughdrier to dry the three-ply product. (Although not illustrated in FIG. 1, in actually carrying out the overall process depicted the three plies were wound up on a roll after drying (at point "A" in FIG. 1) due to in-line equipment limitations and were later unwound and reintroduced into the overall process at the same point "A" to be further processed as shown.)
Because the specific virucidal solution used had a tendency to migrate from the inner to the outer plies and adhere the inner ply to the two outer plies during drying commonly referred to as ("blocking"), after drying the three plies were separated and thereafter recombined. This operation eliminated the blocking problem and reduced the stiffness of the composite sheet.
The recombined three-ply web was then calendered by passing through a pair of calender rolls 20 to achieve proper caliper and to improve the desired bulk and smoothness characteristics. After calendering, the three-plies were crimped together by suitable crimp rolls 25 and slit by suitable slitters 30 to a suitable width and wound onto a roll 35 for converting and packaging into facial tissues in a conventional manner.
In must be appreciated that certain of the foregoing process steps were dictated by equipment limitations which are peculiar to the facilities used to produce the facial tissue product and are not limitations of this invention. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates a simplified process in which a single ply 2 to be treated with a virucidal composition is unwound from a supply roll 1B and treated with the virucidal composition, as by printing, extruding, or spraying the virucidal composition on one or both surfaces of the ply. The treated ply is then dried and sandwiched between two untreated plies supplied from supply rolls 41 and 42. The 3-ply composite web is then calendered, crimped, slit, and wound onto a roll for subsequent converting as illustrated. By treating and drying the inner ply independently of the outer two plies, the potential blocking problem described above is avoided.
Virucidal Effectiveness
In order to illustrate the effectivness of the products of this invention, three-ply facial tissues were produced as described in the discussion of FIG. 1 which contained a virucidal composition substantially confined to the center ply. (hereinafter referred to as the "0-1-0" product to indicate no virucidal treatment on the outer plies and all of the virucidal treatment applied to the center ply). As described, the virucidal composition was applied to the center ply and consisted of an aqueous mixture of citric acid, malic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate. The tissues were tested for virucidal effectiveness in the manner described by the "Virucidal Assay Procedure" set forth in the specification of the previously named copending application Ser. No. 447,581. The results are set forth in the following Table 1:
TABLE 1______________________________________VIRUCIDAL EFFECTIVENESS OF 0-1-0 PRODUCT(EXPOSURE TIME OF ONE MINUTE) Virus Virus Recovered Recovered Log10 TCID50 Log10 TCID50Virus (Control Tissue) (0-1-0) Log Drop______________________________________Adenovirus type 5 5.7 ≦1.2 ≧4.5Parainfluenza 4.45 ≦1.2 ≧3.25type 2Parainfluenza 5.95 ≦1.2 ≧4.75type 3Influenza A 5.7 ≦1.2 ≧4.5Influenza B 6.45 ≦1.2 ≧5.25Reovirus type 3 5.7 ≦1.2 ≧4.5Rhinovirus type 4.45 ≦1.2 ≧3.2510Rhinovirus type 4.7 ≦1.2 ≧3.513Rhinovirus type 4.7 ≦1.2 ≧3.515Rhinovirus type 4.7 ≦1.2 ≧3.516______________________________________
The foregoing Table 1 illustrates the virucidal effectiveness of the 0-1-0 facial tissue product of this invention against a broad spectrum of viruses. By comparison, the Control Tissue, which was a three-ply facial tissue of equal basis weight not containing any virucidal composition, was ineffective against all of the viruses tested. Hence in spite of substantially confining the virucidal composition to the center ply, the virucidal efficacy was maintained.
Reduction of Stinging
In order to test and illustrate the effectiveness of the products of this invention for reducing the stinging response of the same virucidal composition used for Table 1, a panel twelve qualified volunteer subjects was assembled. The qualified subjects were pre-screened to ensure that each individual could reliably distinguish a sting response.
Two products for testing were prepared. Product "A" was a three-ply facial tissue having an amount of a virucidal composition which was applied equally to the two outer plies. None of the virucidal composition was applied to the center ply. Product "B" was a three-ply facial tissue of this invention, wherein all of an equal amount of the virucidal composition was applied to the center ply. The particular virucidal composition used was a mixture of citric acid, malic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate. The ratio of citric acid to malic acid was about 2:1 and the total amount of acid in the product was about 4.5 mg. per square inch. The total amount of sodium lauryl sulfate was about 0.5 mg. per square inch.
During product evaluation, the subjects were brought to a state of profuse sweating by means of an environmental chamber set at 120� F. and 40% relative humidity. The nasolabial folds and cheeks of the subjects were then thoroughly wet with distilled water and wiped with one tissue Product on each side of their face for 15 seconds while turning the Product over to maximize contact. Subjects were interrogated at 30 second intervals for a period of five (5) minutes and asked to rate the intensity of stinging using a four point ordinal scale; 0=no stinging; 1=slight stinging; 2=moderate stinging; and 3= severe stinging. One tissue product was tested at a time. Half the subjects were tested with Product A first followed at least 72 hours later by Product B. The remainder of the panelists were tested with Product B first followed at least 72 hours later by Product A. The cumulative score results are tabulated below in Table 2:
TABLE 2______________________________________TOTAL CUMULATIVE SCORE OF TWELVE TEST SUB-JECTS RATING STINGING INTENSITY OF TISSUES ASA FUNCTION OF TIMETime(Minutes)Product 1/2 1 11/2 2 21/2 3 31/2 4 41/2 5______________________________________A 10 13 12 14 12 9 11 9 9 8B 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0______________________________________
These results show that not one of the test subjects detected any stinging over a five minute time period when testing Product B, which is a product of this invention. On the other hand, Product A induced a stinging response from seven of the twelve subjects, for which the individual test subject responses varies between "no stinging" and "severe stinging". Hence the improvement in reducing the stinging response by the product of this invention is clearly illustrated. Therefore the combined results of Tables 1 and 2 illustrate that the products of this invention possess both virucidal efficacy and reduced stinging.

New Capitalism
Market capitalism in the United States will never be the same.
12:00 AM, Sep 26, 2008 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
NO MATTER WHAT deal is finally cut between Hank Paulson, the Democrats, and unhappy conservative Republicans, or even if no deal at all is finally worked out, market capitalism as practiced in the United States will never be the same. Well, "never" might be too long, so let's say it won't be the same for a very, very long time.
We are witnessing a radical modification of capitalism. Some of this is obvious. We know that the old view that some banks are too big to fail has been augmented by the view that some financial institutions are too interconnected to fail. So Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, AIG and others are bailed out by one device or other, even though no depositors were directly threatened by the demise of these institutions. Carnegie Mellon economist Allan Meltzer might be right when he says, "Capitalism without failure is like religion without sin." But it seems safe to say that our tolerance of failure is just not what it used be. The great economist Joseph Schumpeter talked of capitalism's awesome power of creative destruction. Were he still around he would be unhappy to note that we are in for both less destruction and less creativity. There is a growing desire for shelter from the storms of market economics.
But the change in attitudes and policy towards failure--the greater willingness of policymakers to risk moral hazard in order to reduce risks of threat to the financial system--is only one of the changes reshaping market capitalism.
Another is increased dissatisfaction with the way incomes are distributed. The picture of executives of failed companies strolling off with multimillion dollar bonuses has made more and more people wonder whether what goes on in the nation's boardrooms is a search for ways to reward stellar performance, or a meeting of cronies to decide how to cut up the pie, far from the view of the shareholder-owners of the company.
More important is the fact that globalization, which along with free trade has done more to alleviate world poverty than all the misbegotten foreign aid programs combined, is now producing results that are seen as unacceptable. Over one billion workers in India, China and elsewhere have entered the world labor market, putting pressure on the wages of low and not-so-low income workers. At the same time, globalization has expanded the canvass on which skilled managers can paint. That makes them more valuable, and higher-paid.
This is not the place to resolve the dispute over whether the non-rich have done well or badly in recent years. Suffice it to say that the benefits of free trade--the t-shirts and sneakers in Wal-Mart, the rising living standard of developing-country workers--are less obvious to many Americans than the costs. The perception that trade has inflicted collateral damage on innocent bystanders has taken hold sufficiently to allow Barack Obama to attack trade-opening measures, and to force John McCain to promise training and other programs to soften its consequences. Neither believes the market should be left free to sort things out, despite America's record of creating millions of new jobs every year.
Add suspicion over executive salaries, ostentatious displays of wealth by some private equity and other financial types, pressures on real wages of ordinary workers, the feeling that free trade is not "fair" trade, and you have a cocktail that might prove lethal to the principle of minimalist government intervention.
Instead we have a capitalism in which financial institutions trade freedom for the protection of access to the government's balance sheet (Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley). In which institutions under stress accept pervasive government regulation in return for insurance against failure. In which the advantages of free trade are sacrificed in the interests of preserving jobs in industries best left to adjust to the winds of change. In which regulation of executive salaries is seen as a necessary political price to pay for preventing systemic failure of the banking system. In which taxes on the "rich" and not-so-rich are seen as necessary to offset the inequities of the income distribution system created by capitalism as we have known it.
These changes are already being played out in the campaign for the American presidency. Barack Obama is calling for higher taxes on the "rich"--families with incomes of $250,000 or more--with the proceeds to be redistributed to the middle class. He also wants to end free trade deals that his union supporters tell him depress the wages of blue collar workers.

Will this headset work with my Mac?
Hey guys, well my Logitech USB headset broke a few days ago, and I was looking on Amazon for a replacement. I came across this and figured it looked pretty good. The only problem is, it's not USB, it uses a 2 pronged connector. I don't really mind this, my main question is will it work with my MacBook? I know it has headphone out, but does the optical audio in port work the same as a Microphone port? Or does it require a "line in" level connection? (which I doubt this headset puts out)
Any help would be appreciated. :)
You'll need a USB /Stereo Adaptor. The green plug is for the phones and the red one is for the mic.
Not sure about the specs saying that it's PC/Windows only??
On the Macbook the Audio out port is Headphone out/optical digital audio out/analog line in.
You can connect external active speakers, headphones (including iPhone), or digital audio equipment. You can specify audio analog line in functionality, which supports audio equipment with line level analog outputs, by selecting Sound Input in the Sound pane of System Preferences.
As Pendlewitch says you need one of these (or similar) or choose a dedicated USB headset

Plants vs. Zombies 2 delayed, now arriving sometime 'later in the summer'
Anyone excited for the July 18 launch of Plants vs. Zombies 2 should prepare to be disappointed; it's been delayed. It feels like we've been waiting an eternity already for it, but without explaining why, Popcap took to Twitter to break the bad news:
Plants vs. Zombies 2, originally slated for a July 18th release, will now be released later in the summer. Stay tuned for more details."
A bitter blow, not made any easier having built up our excitement for the game after seeing it in action recently at E3. "Later in the summer" is distinctly vague, so we're back to not really knowing when it will land. Disappointing, for sure. Who else was looking forward to this one?

They could at least make the original fit the iPhone 5's screen. Not really interested in freemium headaches anyway.

The Henry Art Gallery will host Surveillance & Privacy: Art, Law, and Social Practice, a multi-day symposium focusing on the response of artists and cultural institutions to issues related to privacy and surveillance.
A ring of five cameras is configured to continuously monitor a 360-degree field of view. The resulting panorama is then displayed on five screens on a wall. Software filters the video captured by the cameras to show only one person on each screen. The footage of each person loops, only being replaced once a new person stands in front of one of the cameras.
Five cameras are located in the center of the gallery, panoptically configured to continuously monitor a 360-degree field of view. Computers process the video captured by the cameras and filter out any footage that contains movement. Five screens on the wall of the gallery construct a panoramic representation of the gallery via the camera feeds. Regardless of the number of people in the gallery, it always appears empty in the video footage. Although the panorama seems unified, each screen is temporally inconsistent and discontinuous with the others.
