I for one would love the idea of the Haunted Mansion and its a small world getting Disneyland-style holiday overlays as I have only visited WDW in October (once in December).
But on the other hand I hate clones. I would much prefer a different ride to get a holiday overlay, especially as Tokyo now has the overlays and Paris is looking to get a Phantom Manor one. But I can't think of a ride that would be suitable. Has anyone got any ideas?
Also, as I only visit WDW in October that means I miss out on experiencing the normal overlay-less ride.

Gear Review
James French
XCEL Hawaii 3/2 Infiniti OS Zip Wetsuit
Super flexie material. Can handle low 60 temp water maybe high 50's if the sun is out. My last two suits have been front zip. So what i dont like about it is the elastic always catches on the side of the suit when its off, so its definetly putting some ware on the material. It bunches up in the back of the neck and makes it uncomfortable.
The velcro closure has a little strip of "fuzzy" velcro for the tacky part to attach to when not using, which helps prevent it from rubbing and pulling on the nylon lining of the suit.

Press Release: George Mason University
The "Understanding Teen Drinking Cultures in America" research project is designed to gain a greater understanding of teen drinking. Using a scientifically-grounded approach, this project will gain an understanding of the culture surrounding teens' use of alcohol. This project's ultimate focus is upon WHO and/or WHAT might influence future youth decisions to decline alcohol.
The research foundation and design represent an innovative strategy for understanding this issue. Blending both cultural anthropology and public health approaches, the research design incorporates multiple methodologies.
The target population is adolescents under age 18, incorporating primarily youth of high school and late middle school age. The aim is to gain a better understanding of cultural influences and messages in a complex environment, with a focus upon the U.S. culture.
Funded by a grant from The Century Council, this independent research is guided by project co-directors, research staff, and a distinguished Advisory Panel. The research will provide periodic reports and papers, and will generate foundations for strategic approaches for affecting youth decisions in the future.

China Law and Policy Association (CLPA)
The China Law and Policy Association (CLPA) is dedicated to increasing student and faculty understanding of pressing China-related legal issues at Stanford Law School, in addition to fostering ties between Stanford, legal practitioners and scholars in China, and the greater China-interested community in the U.S. The CLPA's mission is to seek out salient legal and policy issues that affect aspects of modern Chinese business, politics, and society and present them to both the law school and the broader Bay Area communities. Each year, the CLPA hosts a number of lunch and dinner events featuring a broad spectrum of speakers, many from China, including scholars, attorneys, judges, policy-makers, entrepreneurs, and diplomats.
Since 2010 the highlight of each year's programming has been the annual Stanford China Law and Policy Conference, an event organized wholly by student CLPA volunteers. During the 2010-11 school year, the CLPA conference featured former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, Judge Wang Yanfang of the Chinese Supreme Court, and Judge Clifford Wallace of the 9th Circuit. During the 2011-12 school year, the keynote speaker of our conference, titled "The Role of Law in Promoting Chinese Innovation and Entrepreneurship," is Qi Lu, President of Microsoft's Online Services Division. The panels focused on
- Challenges in corporate governance in modern China and its influence on foreign investment
- Prospects for the development of innovation with Chinese characteristics
- Hurdles that the rising Chinese clean energy sector still must overcome.
In 2014, the CLPA hosted a delegation of Chinese IP law regulators.

Victoria Connelly graduated and MBA in Strategy and Procurement Management from the University of Birmingham in 2011. Since graduating she has been working in the Procurement department as a Supplier Sourcing Manager for American multinational corporation Google, who are global providers of internet-related products and services.
Since leaving university I have taken on a new career opportunity at Google. This has provided experience of procurement within a completely different industry - prior to this I was working in the pharmaceutical industry. Moving to the internet industry has presented a welcome supply of new challenges and learning experiences.
Doing an MBA has also allowed me to greatly expand my professional network. Working for a relatively young and rapidly expanding company is demanding and challenging but also great fun. There is a constant flow of new and exciting projects so I am always learning something new and interacting with new areas of the business.
The university provided an excellent learning experience. The modules provided me with extensive knowledge and an invaluable set of tools. Aside from formal teaching, the university also presented the opportunity for genuine sharing of experiences across sectors, industries and cultures.
Studying for an MBA part-time whilst also working full time is challenging and requires a lot of dedication and good time management.
I would encourage students to take the opportunity to learn as much from your fellow students as you do from the teaching staff and to really build up a strong network of people that you can reach out to in the future.
My fondest memories are of the people I was fortunate enough to meet whilst studying at the University. I was able to interact with a diverse range of students from across the globe, which has not only given me a strong professional network but also a great set of friends.

Baruth named Senate majority leaderVermont Press Bureau | January 07,2013One of the more vocal critics of Senate leadership over the past two years was elected by his Democratic peers Saturday to help fix it.
Sen. Philip Baruth, a second-term Chittenden County Democrat, will serve as his 23-member caucus next majority leader. During his first two years in office, Baruth often chided Senate President John Campbell for a top-down leadership style he said was used to subvert the will of the majority.
Baruth on Sunday said he thinks he and Campbell are primed to improve the dynamic.
A lot of problems were caused by bills that had lot of support in the caucus but then didnt have quite enough support to get out of committee, Baruth said. We have had very good discussion about that at (the Senate Democratic caucus Saturday) and talked about ways to massage that situation so we wouldnt have quite so much pressure build up around certain issues.
Baruth named the child care unionization bill specifically as one piece of legislation blocked from seeing a floor vote last year. Does that mean the controversial legislation, opposed by Campbell, is headed for an up-or-down vote on the floor in 2013?
I wouldnt want to say anything definitive on any specific bill, but it certainly seems as though discussions are moving in that way, Baruth said.
A professor of English at the University of Vermont, Baruth said even Republican lawmakers will have a voice in the Democratic caucus. Sen. Diane Snelling, a Chittenden County Republican, is running against Campbell for a Senate presidency that will be decided this week.
I know John Campbell is not taking anything for granted, and I am very sure hes talking on a regular basis with Republicans that have been in the body for a while, as well as those just coming in, Baruth said. In the Senate, its less about Rs versus Ds and its more about wrangling over the vision for ideal government, and then how you pay for that ideal government.
Baruth, who won the post in a unanimous voice vote, had voiced interest last fall in being a member of the leadership team, but said hed cede the top spot to a more senior member of the body. No one else emerged to take the job.
Sen. Claire Ayer, an Addison County Democrat and chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare, will serve as assistant majority leader.
From his more experienced No. 2, Baruth said hell seek advice and guidance.
Claire is an extremely experienced and savvy person, Baruth said. And what I need from her is mostly her advice.
Lawmakers will convene in Montpelier on Wednesday for the opening of the 2013 session. Gov. Peter Shumlin delivers his State of the State address Thursday.

Shumlin says games of partisan brinkmanship from a dysfunctional Congress will continue to complicate fiscal planning for the state of Vermont.
Even as he praised the president last Wednesday for cutting a deal to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, Shumlin panned the U.S. House whose members finally signed on to the compromise.
This is a dysfunctional Congress, Shumlin said. We saw it for the last two years, were likely to see it for the next two. They seem to want to push the country to the brink every single time.
Had he been in their seats, Shumlin said he too would have voted for a deal that won yes votes from Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernard Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch.
But he said the compromise postpones questions of considerable financial importance, creating uncertainty in a state budget that relies heavily on federal revenue.
You have to make assumptions that youre making the right choices and guesses, Shumlin said. Its not unusual for us to navigate around this particular Congress.
Shumlin said he believes a congressional stalemate on the fiscal cliff would have plunged Vermont back into recession.
I think this is the one thing that could have sent us back into a recession, he said. I think that its pretty clear that the dire consequences that would have been inflicted on the American economy had they not resolved this question would have been a real challenge for us.
n n n
This years budget address will come later than usual.
During a debriefing on the budget-adjustment act for members of the media last Wednesday, Secretary of Administration Jeb Spaulding said the governor will wait until after the next revenue forecast to unveil his fiscal year 2014 spending plan.
The updated forecast wont come until Jan. 23. Spaulding said the budget proposal will be delivered to the Legislature on Jan. 24.
And that is a little bit later than wed like, but its something both the Legislatures and the governors economists recommended to us, Spaulding said.
Spaulding said the extra time will also allow the final proposal to reflect as accurately as possible what Vermont can expect in the way of diminished revenue from the federal government.

The Vermont Progressive Party has a new executive director.
Robert Millar, who worked for the past several years on Bernie Sanders 2012 re-election campaign, will fill a post vacated after the November elections by Morgan Daybell.
According to a release sent out by the VPP last week, Millar served on the Winooski School Board from 2010 to 2012 and has been a Progressive Justice of the Peace in Winooski since 2010.
I am pleased that we were able to find someone who has both experience in, and a commitment to, our organization and an appreciation of the role we play in Vermont politics, VPP chairwoman Martha Abbott said in a written statement.
Millar called the Progressive Party one of the strongest, most important, liberal movements in the country and Im proud to have been a part of that movement for the last several years.
The Progressive Party has been a part of the political landscape in Vermont for over 30 years, providing a voice for the working class and the many others whose voices were not being heard in the other two parties, Millar said. Im thrilled that this position will allow me to continue to play a leading role in helping to guide the party into the next 30 years of success, and beyond.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The state Public Service Board on Friday announced it would fine Vermont Gas Systems...

Pianist Ben is the king of the Boogie Woogie
Posted: November 23, 2012|
Heralded by Jools Holland as one of the best pianists of all time, Ben Waters' performances are sensational.

First place: Cathy Waddell Cox, Mount Pleasant
$1,500 will be given to Ricardo Perrys nonprofit, Connections and You Inc.
During this season of thanks, I am so thankful for Ricardo Perry. If those whose lives he touches knew they could write about him, you would be inundated with letters of gratefulness for his care and concern for young men at Hanahan Middle School.
Ricardo is a police officer assigned to Hanahan Middle as the school resource officer. Sounds simple: show up, handle discipline issues and set a good example. He does that. However, he decided that there was much more that could be done, so he started a nonprofit organization called Connections and You Inc.
He now has 60 boys in the group who meet regularly. In addition to programs that teach them responsibility, integrity and positive character traits, they also volunteer often in the community.
Recently, the city administrator wrote that he was so impressed by their actions while handling a large outdoor event that he wanted to applaud them.
Ricardos job does not stop when he has put in his 40 hours. He is constantly meeting with these guys after hours, speaking to parents and figuring out what else he can do to be a positive role model.
His family is very gracious in sharing him because they know that his heart and soul are about seeing young people succeed, even when circumstances might suggest otherwise.
He currently has five men from the community serving as mentors, and within the group there are peer mentors and junior peer mentors. It is amazing to see how, when given the opportunity, these young men take on leadership roles.
Truly, some of them will be leaders of our town, state and nation because someone saw the potential and decided to do something about it. Many are thankful for Ricardo Perry.
I serve on the board of this amazing organization, and I wish I could write 3,000 words about how lives are being impacted in such a positive way. The stories are endless and, yes, some dont make it.
For instance, Ricardo had to arrest one of his guys recently. It broke his heart, but he knew that if he was going to teach integrity, he had to live it. Probably the hardest thing hes ever had to do.
He grew up without any positive role models in his background, but there were people in the community who saw that he had great potential, and they reached out to encourage him. Now, he is driven to give back.

V'zot Habrakha: A Summary of the Parashah
Moses gives the tribes of Israel a final blessing and dies at the age of 120; the Children of Israel mourn and begin to follow Joshua, their new leader.
By Nancy Reuben Greenfield
We Also Recommend
The following article is reprinted with permission from Jewish Family & Life!
Before his death, Moses blesses the Children of Israel, reminding them that God's teaching is the inheritance for the children of Israel and what unites them. Moses continues with a message for each of the tribes.
Then Moses says to the people, "There is None like Your God. God guides heavens to help you… God is the support everlasting that raises up all things from the depths. God has driven away the enemy from before you."
Moses went up from the wastelands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the summit of the high place that lies before Jericho, and God showed him all the land. Then God said to Moses. "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. To your descendants will I give it. I let you see it with your eyes but you will not go there."
And Moses, the servant of God, died there in the land of Moab, according to the utterance of God. God buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-Peor and no one has known his grave to this day.
Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye had not become dim and his freshness had not departed.
The Children of Israel wept for Moses in the wastelands of Moab for 30 days. When the days of weeping in mourning for Moses were at an end, Joshua, son of Nun, was filled with the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands upon him. Then the Children of Israel hearkened to Joshua as God had commanded Moses. And no prophet has arisen in Israel like Moses, whom God permitted to know God face to face.
Questions For Discussion
1) What does it mean for Moses to be a servant of God?
2) Are you a servant of God? Why or why not?
3) Is there a way to become a servant of God? How?
4) Why do you think there has never been another prophet like Moses? Do you think that there will ever be another prophet like Moses? Why or why not?
5) Do we need a prophet like Moses today? Why or why not?

An Overview of Far Right Politics in Europe
By Martin A. Lee
German authorities registered nearly 16,000 right-wing extremist crimes in 2000 as compared to 10,000 incidents in 1999 — a 60% increase. These attacks were concentrated in economically depressed eastern Germany, which has yet to rebound from the whiplash transition from communism to capitalism.
"To say that one-third of east German youth is now prone to the extreme right is an understatement," warns east Berlin criminologist Berndt Wagner. "The point of no return has already been reached for many. It's very depressing. It's growing. It's getting worse."
While racist violence is often perpetrated by bald-shaven, leather-clad thugs, neo-Nazi sympathies are not restricted to down-and-out adolescents. Double-digit unemployment, a festering national identity crisis, disillusionment with the democratic political process, and other deep-rooted factors are fueling racist attitudes and a dangerous receptivity to right-wing extremism throughout reunified Germany.
Recent surveys show that 17% of the German population, east and west combined, harbors far-right views.
"You find anti-Semitism not only in the beer hall but also in the champagne milieu," says Michael Friedman, deputy president of the Central Council of German Jews.
While thinly disguised neo-Nazi parties have tallied votes as high as 13% in regional east German elections and have won seats in local governments in several western states, no far-right organization has broken through and established itself as a viable national force since the fall of the Third Reich.
In part, this is because several extreme-right parties compete for votes and a young, charismatic leader like Jörg Haider has yet to come forward in Germany.
Thus far, mainstream German politicians have been able to contain their far-right rivals by mimicking neofascist catch-phrases about "criminal foreigners" and trawling the sewers of racial prejudice for votes.
Seeking to deflate the appeal of the extreme right, German officials rescinded a constitutional provision for political asylum in 1993 and implemented draconian measures aimed at curbing the influx of refugees.
Paradoxically, such policies have thwarted the success of neofascist parties in Germany, while simultaneously legitimizing many of their ideas in the public mind.
Poverty and Paranoia in the East
Right-wing extremists and anti-Semitic hate-mongers stalk the parliamentary system in every nation in Eastern Europe, where the jettisoning of the communist system resulted in poverty, homelessness, malnutrition, rampant crime, and "a deterioration of unparalleled proportions in human welfare," a recent UNICEF study concluded.
According to the World Bank, the number of poor people in Eastern Europe has risen twelve-fold since the end of the Cold War — from nearly 14 million, or about 4% of the population, to 168 million, or approximately 45%.
Although few Jews live in post-Soviet Eastern Europe, anti-Semitism has once again become "the spoken and unspoken lingua franca of exclusionist and xenophobic politics," according to the World Jewish Congress.
Corneliu Vadim Tudor, head of the ultranationalist Greater Romania Party, has accused the Romanian government of selling out to "a Jewish-led conspiracy." Tudor established himself as a key player in Romanian politics after placing second with 33% of the vote in national elections last year.
In nearby Hungary, the current government enjoys the parliamentary support of the neofascist Life and Justice Party, led by Istvan Csurka, who also espouses lurid anti-Jewish conspiracy theories. Several of Csurka's followers have been given key positions in state television.
Whether it assumes the form of cemetery desecrations by neo-Nazi vandals or cynical pandering by politicians, anti-Semitism functions as a barometer of social and psychological distress in the former communist states.
But more proximate enemies — mainly Roma (Gypsies) and ethnic minorities — bear the brunt of violent attacks by Skinhead gangs, which plague every country in the region, including Russia.
The State: Ethnicity or Law?
Underpinning the resurgence of racism and neofascist tendencies in the former Soviet bloc is the obsessive notion of an ethnically determined nation-state, whose members are bound together by the primacy of blood, lineage, and language, rather than by recognized international borders or a set of laws that afford equal rights and protections to all citizens. Ongoing bloodshed in the Balkans shows just how dangerous the myth of ethnic purity can be.
The ultranationalist crescendo in Eastern Europe is not simply a reaction to years of Soviet domination, as if steam had suddenly blown the top off a pressure cooker. Unable to fulfill the high expectations generated by their own propaganda, communist rulers manipulated popular prejudice to shore up an unpopular system during the Cold War.
Indigenous racist tendencies were encouraged by hard-core nationalist factions that existed inside every Communist party in Eastern Europe. (Periodic waves of officially inspired anti-Semitism were manifestations of this tendency.)
When the East-West face-off ended, numerous communists dropped their Marxist trappings and became active members of burgeoning ultranationalist groups.
These kinds of developments are evident in Russia, where 70 to 80% of the population lives below or scarcely above subsistence level. The chaotic free-for-all that ensued after the demise of the USSR has given rise to a very dangerous brand of Slavic fascism.
Imagine Weimar Germany — then add thousands of nuclear weapons guarded by people earning less than $5 a month.
Despite a constitutional ban on ethnic and religious incitement, at least extreme-right nationalist groups in Russia — with memberships of between 100 and 5,000 people each — operate with virtual impunity.
There are also 37 ultranationalist publications in Russia, and anti-Semitic texts, including the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Hitler's Mein Kampf, are sold openly on the streets of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Social Injustice and Final Solutions
Perhaps even more disturbing than the proliferation of racist youth gangs and far-right paramilitary groups in Russia is the ultranationalist wing of the Communist Party, led by retired general Albert Makashov, who has publicly called for the extermination of the Jews.
Last year, Makashov befriended David Duke (see The Ties That Bind) while the U.S. white supremacist toured Russia hawking his latest screed, The Ultimate Supremacism: My Awakening on the Jewish Question.
The preface to the Russian edition of Duke's book was written by Boris Mironov, President Boris Yeltsin's former press secretary.
Radical right-wing populism and its contemporary fascist manifestations, which vary from one country to the next, typically thrive in situations where social injustice is prevalent.
Although there are definite parallels to the Hitler era, today's right-wing extremist movements in Europe have emerged under a unique set of circumstances.
No simple formula can predict how strong these movements will become. But converging social, economic, and political trends suggest that increasing numbers of Europeans will be vulnerable to the appeals of right-wing demagogues who offer simple solutions to complex problems.
And simple solutions, as we know, run the risk of turning into final solutions.
Martin A. Lee is the author of The Beast Reawakens, a book on the recent rise of neofascism in Europe, and a frequent commentator on the radical right in Europe and the United States.

ATLANTA — Mark Richt was stunned.
During a break only minutes after Georgia scored its first touchdown early in Saturday night's game, Auburn fans suddenly cheered.
Richt said at first he didn't know what led to the roar from the home fans at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Then he realized the Auburn fans were cheering top-ranked Alabama's loss to Texas A&M.
"After a little bit of thinking, I thought that might have been it," Richt said with a smile.
The Alabama loss also could be big for No. 5 Georgia, though Richt said he didn't take time to consider the ramifications for his team.
"I didn't get too caught up in it," Richt said of the Alabama loss. "I really was most concerned about this one."
Richt's players followed his lead and kept their focus on Auburn. The result was the Bulldogs' most complete effort of the season in a 38-0 win that clinched Georgia's spot in the Southeastern Conference championship game, likely against Alabama, on Dec. 1.
With a little help, Georgia could have more on the line than its third SEC championship under Richt.
Georgia could move into the national championship picture if the Bulldogs keep winning, including in the SEC championship game, and more undefeated teams lose.
Richt said Sunday he hasn't talked with his players about possible national championship hopes.
"Quite frankly we're not doing that right now," Richt said. "We know we're playing in Atlanta. We know that's settled right now. We know there's a lot of work to do in the meantime."
Georgia (9-1, 7-1 SEC), which plays Georgia Southern on Saturday, is rolling with four straight wins.
Aaron Murray has returned to form after throwing three interceptions in Georgia's key 17-9 win over Florida. Since that game, Murray has passed for seven touchdowns with no interceptions in back-to-back wins over Mississippi and Auburn.
Murray completed 18 of 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns – all in the first half – against Auburn. Georgia led 28-0 at halftime. Murray led two more scoring drives in the third quarter then sat out the final 15 minutes.
"Aaron was very sharp," Richt said.
For the season, Murray has 24 touchdowns with seven interceptions.
Murray's play-action passes were set up by the running of freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. Gurley ran for 116 yards and a touchdown, including a long run of 49 yards. Marshall added a 62-yard scoring run and had 105 yards on only eight carries.
Georgia's overwhelming balance on offense and strong defense convinced most Auburn fans to leave in the third quarter.
"It was awesome," Murray said. "We looked up midway through the third quarter and I was like, `Man, we've got more fans here than they do right now."'
Georgia fans celebrated a second straight trip to the SEC championship game, chanting "SEC! SEC!"
"It's a great feeling," said linebacker Jarvis Jones, who had two sacks, giving him 10½ for the season.
Jones, a third-year sophomore in 2011, and other top underclassmen decided to return this season instead of entering the NFL draft. Jones said the players returned for another shot at the SEC title after losing to LSU in last year's conference championship game.
"We've been training all year for it," Jones said. "Everybody decided to come back and focus and put the work in. It started in the spring. The leaders on the team have been at the forefront, making sure everybody takes care of business. We've been reaching our goal every week."
Georgia qualified for its fifth SEC title game in 12 years under Richt after also making it in 2002-03, 2005 and 2011-12. Richt's teams won SEC championships in 2002 and 2005.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
This weekly course covers the most common questions videographers encounter when shooting and editing with DSLR cameras, from choosing a frame size and frame rate to understanding moiré. Authors Rich Harrington and Robbie Carman will also help you understand the impacts of compression and the difference between cropped (or micro 4/3rds) and full-sized sensors in cameras, and much more. This continual FAQ guide is a handy way to find the answers to the questions that plague you the most.
Rich Harrington: So Rob, when it comes time to pick one of these things, unless you are an electrical engineer, the insides don't really matter. It's the ports. What can you put into it? What are the connection options that really drive? Which one of these is right for you? Robbie Carman: And Rich, you know, depending on the actual recorder that you get, you're going to have different options. For example, mid-range recorders like this one are going to have XLR inputs, which is a professional level connection, a balance connection that you can plug right in. You might also have quarter-inch, like you have over there on this one. Rich Harrington: Yeah, on this particular one or it's sometimes called a Phono Plug, this is a real common type of connection when you're dealing with house audio at a venue, or maybe weddings and events, so I could just take that, jacks right in. I can record or I can go right off the other end, if I had to record sound from say a laptop or some sort of device.
So really with just a couple of plugs and adapters you could plug into just about any connection option out there. XLR though really does have some benefits, right? Robbie Carmon: Well, absolutely. I mean the thing about XLR connection is it's a professional level connection. So when you start dealing with professional calibre microphones, both, you know, sort of dynamic as like this microphone, as well as a condenser microphone, as well as things like labs and booms and that kind of stuff, you are going to have typically XLR connections on those microphones, and it's nice so you don't have to have a range of adapters and things of that nature. Just take the XLR out of the microphone, plug it right into the digital audio recorder.
And the cool thing about this, Rich, is that a lot of these digital audio recorders actually give you multiple inputs. So you can see on this zoom for example I have two channels of inputs down here. So I could have one interview on--a person you are interviewing on channel one, and another person that's speaking in an interview on channel two, which is nice. So you can keep those separate microphones separate which makes your life much easier when you get back into post. Rich Harrington: And this particular unit, if I could borrow it from you for a second, one of the things I really like about this one, it's got two mics built in, these actually rotate and what a lot of people don't realize is this is affecting the angle.
So you could set it to a really tight pattern of 90 degrees or up to 120, and that's just the pickup pattern, but you don't hold it like this to the person. It's actually designed to be a two-way mic, so this one is my mic, this one is your mic, and you can use this as a backup audio supply. So like putting this right between people that you're interviewing you can use this as a backup audio source in addition to lob mic or the mic-- Robbie Carman: Absolutely. One of the cool things about this mic as you've mentioned it's a backup, but also in a pinch, if you don't have a lot of extra gear, mic cables, and different microphones and that kind of stuff, this is still going to give you dramatically better audio than you're going to get on the actual camera body itself.
And there is even different audio recorders out there that will even let you record in sort of surround sound, right? Rich Harrington: Yeah. Robbie Carman: So instead of having just a stereo X, Y pattern here, you can also have a surround field which could be nice for different purposes. Rich Harrington: And one other workflow I like to recommend that you can actually pull off here, that's kind of easy. If you take the headphone port off of these devices, you can actually get a splitter. So for example, if you get a multi-jack splitter, what we did recently on a multi-camera shoot is we had it just tapping out and we were able to plug in a pair of headphones, because if you can't hear the audio it's really no good. You're just sort of gambling.
Well, I think I'm recording the right thing. The VU meters look like they're moving. This is going to let you hear things like, is there interference? Did a power cable cross over? But more importantly we were then able to take that and just run out with mini plugs, the audio into all of the cameras onset. So for the reference audio, for purposes of synching a multi-camera interview, we were able to just drive that to a lot of places all at once. So this really does open up all sorts of options that are way beyond what the camera could do itself. Robbie Carman: And Rich, there is actually one more thing that I want to mention about these digital audio recorders.
Now it's not a input per se, but you know, it's a slot on the camera, and that is the actual memory card or the storage medium that these digital audio recorders record to. Now in the case of this Zoom H4n it's actually just a little SD card, but different recorders have different options. So you might be able to find a recorder that has a hard drive-based recording mechanism, even an SSD, which is even better because you're not having moveable parts in your storage. So that's another thing to sort of look out for when you're choosing a digital audio recorder and I always am kind of the mindset, go big.
So I often get a lot more storage than I need. Rich Harrington: So, you're right. Audio takes up less space than video, a big card will easily let you go for the whole shoot. Most of these recorders ship with a pretty small card. Now you can get audio recorders with built-in flash memory, built-in hard drives, it's really up to you, but just make sure you get one that works well for you. Most of them these days are SD card-based; just a little bit cheaper type of media, but you can go with compact flash. Pretty much anything is out there if you look for it. So when you are picking one of these, it's really a matter of cost.
They start around a $100. They go well up from there, but there is lots of great options to be had with multiple inputs, the ability to monitor for just a couple hundred dollars. Now when we came back we're going to talk about some of the settings and file types you're going to want to look for, because not all audio recorders are created equal.

Tens of thousands of students will get free breakfasts next school year, after the Charlotte-Mecklenburg school board voted 7-1 for a program that aims to improve academics by fighting hunger.
"We all know you can't teach a hungry child," Cindy Hobbs, the district's executive director of child nutrition, told the board.
The universal breakfast program, part of a national movement, uses federal money to provide morning meals for all students, regardless of family income. The goal is to eliminate the stigma of picking up a free breakfast, which had been offered only to students from low-income homes. Some studies indicate that eating breakfast improves behavior, attendance and academic performance.
Sausage biscuits, pizza bagels, cereal and other breakfast items will be offered, along with fruit and milk.

Middle Eastern Studies Program and Hannah Arendt Center present
Jens Hanssen
University of Toronto
Hannah Arendt has famously lamented in "On Revolution" (1963) that the revolutionary tradition of the United States was lost on the "'revolutionary' countries in the East" and the United States alike. The result, she argued, has "boomeranged upon the foreign policy of the United States, which begins to pay an exorbitant price for world-wide ignorance and for [American] oblivion." At the same time, she worried that "Western civilization has its last chance of survival in an Atlantic community" and admitted that "American power and prestige were used and misused to support obsolete and corrupt political regimes that long since had become objects of hatred and contempt among their own citizens." Still, On Revolution has received more attention in Arab translation circles than any of her other works – including her Report on the Banality of Evil (1963) which overshadowed On Revolution in the West. In the context of a wider Arab reception history of Arendt, this paper examines two Arabic translations – Khayri Hammad's critical translation Ra'i fi al-thawrāt (1964, republished in excerpt in Cairo, 2012) and Abdel-Rahman Bushnaq's Franklin Foundation-endorsed translation of her favorite book, Between Past and Future, in 1974 – in order to discuss 'Lesser-evilism', Arab authoritarianism and the current uprisings against both.
Jens Hanssen is Associate Professor of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean history at the University of Toronto. His book publications include "Fin de Siècle Beirut" (Oxford, 2005) and two co-edited volumes: "Arab Provincial Capitals in the Late Ottoman Empire," (Beirut, 2002); and "History, Space and Social Conflict in Beirut" (Beirut, 2005). He has recently published in "The New Cambridge History of Islam" (2010), in the "International Journal of Middle East Studies" (2011), "Critical Inquiry" (2012) and an article "Reading Arendt in the Middle East" (http://www.perspectivia.net/content/publikationen/orient-institut-studies/1-2012/hanssen_hannah-arendt). He is co-editing the "OUP Handbook of Contemporary Middle Eastern and North African History" and "Arabic Thought Beyond the Liberal Age." During his visit to Baghdad in June 2003, he filmed a short documentary (posted on youtube.com) on academic life in Iraq after the U.S. invasion. He is currently conducting research on intersections between German-Jewish and Arab intellectual histories. He also investigates the legacy of the 19th-century Arabic revival and reform movement on contemporary political developments.

A multiple probe acquisition system, such as for use with a value instrument, uses probes where each probe includes an acquisition circuit for acquiring from a circuit under test an electrical signal as digital data at a high rate, and then transferring the digital data from the probe to the instrument at a lower rate over a data bus for processing and display. The probe may be used to acquire analog waveforms or logic data from the electrical signal. The probe provides a very low input capacitance to the circuit under test, minimizing signal distortion, and is relatively inexpensive. The probes are time aligned by detecting when one of the probes generates a trigger, and timing the other probes to stop acquisition simultaneously so the data is synchronized among the probes.
1. A probe for use in a multiple probe acquisition system comprising:
an acquisition system for acquiring and storing in response to a trigger signal an electrical signal from a device under test as digital data at a high rate; and
a cable for transferring the digital data and the trigger signal from the probe acquisition system to a control and display platform at a low rate and for transferring power, control information and an external trigger signal from the control and display platform to the probe acquisition system; wherein
the digital data comprises digitized data samples; wherein
the acquisition system comprises:
an analog-to-digital converter for converting the electrical signal to the digitized data samples; and
a storage device for storing the digitized data samples in a recirculating manner; and wherein
the acquisition system includes a trigger circuit for recognizing from the electrical signal a trigger event to generate the trigger signal for stopping storage of the digitized data samples in a recirculating storage device after a specified time interval.
2. The probe as recited in
a programmable amplifier for conditioning the electrical signal; and
a passive, programmable attenuator for adjusting the amplitude of the electrical signal before input to the programmable amplifier.
3. The probe as recited in
The present invention relates to data acquisition, and more particularly to a multiple probe acquisition system for obtaining synchronized data from self-contained acquisition probes.
In a conventional test and measurement system a probe is used to route an electrical signal via a cable from a circuit under test to an instrument. The instrument, such as an oscilloscope or logic analyzer, includes an acquisition circuit and a trigger circuit to which the cable from the probe is connected. In the acquisition circuit the electrical signal is sampled and digitized, with the resulting data being stored for further processing in an acquisition memory in response to a trigger signal from the trigger circuit. The processed data is then presented as a waveform and/or as alphanumeric information on a display. There are generally two types of probes—passive probes and active probes.
Passive probes rely upon power from the circuit under test to drive the electrical signal from the probe to the acquisition circuit in the instrument over the cable. These probes are relatively inexpensive and are used almost exclusively by value or lower performance instruments. However passive probes present a load to the circuit under test which distorts the electrical signal acquired by the instrument. Further the cable presents an impedance path between the probe and the acquisition circuit which further may distort the electrical signal acquired by the instrument. Finally the cable presents a bandwidth limitation on the signals that may be accurately passed to the instrument. To address this problem passive probes are designed with very low capacitance and the cable is kept as short as possible, but this does not eliminate completely the distortion problem.
Active probes deliver a more accurate waveform display than passive probes, even at the lower frequencies of value instruments. There are two basic reasons for this increase in accuracy, both related to reducing the capacitance of the probe. As indicated above the probe capacitance loads the circuit under test, causing waveform distortion. The probe capacitance also causes alternating current to pass from the circuit under test to the ground lead of the probe. The current in the ground lead then produces a voltage across the ground lead, and inductance in the ground path causes a voltage along the ground lead. The resulting voltage displayed as the waveform is the signal being monitored minus the induced voltage in the ground lead. To reduce the distorting effects of the ground lead, either the ground lead is shortened to reduce the inductance or the probe capacitance is reduced. In many circumstances there are not convenient ways to make low inductance ground paths.
For a high performance instrument active probes have been developed that derive power from the instrument to drive the electrical signal from the probe to the acquisition circuit in the instrument. These probes may include a programmable amplifier and attenuator which receive power and commands from the instrument. The active probes are relatively expensive compared to the passive probes because of the added electronic circuitry, but are small in cost compared to the expense of the high performance instrument. The active probes also are more difficult to use than the passive probes. The reason for more cost is the fact that power, signaling and very high bandwidth signals are passed through the cable. Additionally, the active probes are designed for operation at bandwidths much above those needed for value instruments. Further, although the active probe minimizes loading of the circuit under test, the cable is still a source of signal distortion between the probe and the acquisition circuit in the instrument, especially at high frequencies in the GigaHertz range. Additionally at one watt of power the probe becomes hot, which is not desirable to a user when probing the circuit under test, so the amount of electronics in the active probe is kept to a minimum. Finally most active probes are limited in the voltage range that can be probed as they do not contain attenuators that are controlled by the instrument's volts/division control, and so are not useful for general purpose applications. When an inexperienced user views a signal with too much amplitude, the probe delivers a clipped signal that is displayed as an extremely distorted signal that may fool the user into believing that it is the actual signal present at the probe tip.
For value or lower performance instruments active probes are not generally used because the cost of the active probe is comparable to the cost of the value instrument. Therefore value instruments generally use only passive probes for acquiring signals from the circuit under test.
Recently there have been new products that seek to replace the stand alone low value oscilloscopes. These products are adapted to interact with a personal computer (PC), and therefore include some acquisition circuitry as part of the probe system. One such product is represented by a pen-type single channel digital storage oscilloscope (DSO), such as the PenScope osziFOX� DSO manufactured by Wittig Technologies and the PicoScope� USB Pen Scope manufactured by Pico Technology Limited, that uses a serial interface cable to display recorded signals on the PC screen. Another such product is a USB module to which probes are connected, such as the USBee ZX Digital Test Pod manufactured by CWAV or the MS-32 Oscilloscope Mixed Signal Option manufactured by LeCroy Corporation, which performs triggering and data acquisition and communicates with the PC or a test instrument.
When multiple probes are grouped together to monitor different portions of the circuit under test, each probe has its own trigger circuit. However there is no system that allows synchronization of data from the multiple probes so that a user can see what is happening at each probe location when a trigger event occurs. In otherwords, each probe system operates independently of any other probe systems.
What is desired is a probe system for lower performance, value instruments that is general purpose, i.e., good dynamic range controlled from the instrument, low cost and less capacitance to minimize loading of the circuit under test, and that is able to synchronize data acquisition with other probe systems.
Accordingly the present invention provides a multiple probe acquisition system, each probe containing an acquisition circuit including a trigger generator, that synchronizes data from all of the probes in response to a trigger signal from one of the probes. Each probe, whether an analog probe that digitizes the electrical signal from a single channel to form data samples or a logic probe that converts the electrical signal from multiple channel into logic data, contains an acquisition circuit for capturing data at a high rate at the probe and then transferring the data at a low rate from the probe to a control and display platform, such as a test instrument or a personal computer (PC), for processing and display. The probes are connected to a separate hub or its equivalent built into the control and display platform so that the control and display platform communicates with the probes. The probes provide data and a trigger line as outputs and receive power, commands and a system clock as inputs. The hub detects when there is a trigger signal on one of the trigger lines and stops acquisition of data at all of the probes at the same so that the data captured in the probes is time aligned with the data from all of the other probes. The time aligned data is then transferred from the probes to the control and display platform.
The objects, advantages and other novel features of the present invention are apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the appended claims and attached drawing.
Referring now to
As shown in
The ability to condense the acquisition circuitry to a small enough size to fit in the probe 12 is the result of improvements made in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. A modern 0.13 micron chip is about 35 times denser than the conventional 0.8 micron chip, and power is reduced significantly because of a reduction in capacitance and a reduction in operating voltage. Using the 0.13 micron process reduces on-chip memory size needed to double buffer a 100 k sample data record to a region about 4 mm per side. Compared to the diameter of passive probes, which is about 10 mm where the cable enters the probe, there is plenty of surface area to contain the acquisition system. The only limitation is storage size, as more storage requires more power and the amount of power required by the probe is kept to a level that does not generate too much heat.
As shown in
By placing the acquisition system into the probe 12, the probe interconnect may be made smaller, as a USB connector is much smaller than a standard BNC connector. The serial bus not only passes the waveform data, but also passes a probe identifier. The probe identifier provides information about the probe characteristics such as type of probe, bandwidth, dynamic range, etc. when the probe is first connected to the hub or instrument. The probe interconnect also is designed to disconnect when the probe 12 is accidently yanked so that the instrument 16 is not pulled onto the floor. Further, since most of the cost of the acquisition system is in the probe 12 and the interconnect is small, the instrument 16 may be designed to accept many more probes than in a conventional instrument, i.e., up to eight or more. The instrument 16 communicates with one probe at a time, which does reduce waveform data throughput.
The probe 12 shown in
Where multiple probes 12 are coupled to a hub 30 or instrument 16 and each probe acquires data independently, there is a problem time aligning data captured by one probe in response to a trigger event detected by that probe with data captured by the other probes. Therefore the hub 30 includes a synchronizer 32 that receives a trigger line from each of the probes and operates to stop the acquisition by all of the probes at the same time so that the respective data are time aligned with each other. The synchronizer 32, as shown in
Thus the present invention provides a multiple probe acquisition system that includes probes, each with an acquisition circuit that acquires an electrical signal at a high rate and forwards the acquired data to an instrument at a lower rate, that minimizes loading on a circuit under test, that minimizes signal distortion as a result, and that provides time alignment between the probes.

One of the central challenges in biology is to elucidate how microenvironments modulate molecular mechanisms and thus global cellular function. The Lillemeier lab studies signal transduction in the plasma membrane of T lymphocytes (T cells) upon their activation by Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs). Major rearrangements of signaling molecules take place during this event, which is most dramatically seen in the formation of signaling microclusters and the immunological synapse (see movie). The lab uses cutting edge super-resolution and dynamic fluorescence microscopy techniques (e.g. PALM and FCCS) in combination with traditional biochemical and molecular biological approaches to study the molecular patterns that regulate and are required for T cell activation and function.
We have found a new type of plasma membrane domains, termed protein islands, and the specific segregation of all membrane-associated proteins within them. These findings inspire a new and unsuspected role for the plasma membrane in the spatio-temporal regulation of T cell activation and membrane biology in general. Specifically, we found that signaling cascades are prearranged into 'building blocks', through the localization of signaling molecule subsets within specific protein islands. Redistribution of these protein islands in response to stimuli can lead to either concatenation and assembly of signal transduction pathways or their dissociation and disassembly. These rearrangements are not diffusion limited but active and directed through cytoskeletal forces and pathway-specific protein-protein interactions.
We welcome students and postdocs to join our lab. For more information please contact Björn Lillemeier.
Movie: A primary T cell becomes activated on a glass supported lipid bilayer containing its natural ligands. T cell receptor (TCR) molecules, labeled with enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP), form microclusters at the entire the contact site between T cell and bilayer. TCR microclusters are transported towards the center of the contact site in an actin dependent fashion and form the center of an immunological synapse. The movie was acquired in total internal reflection (TIRF) mode to eliminate intracellular fluorescence.
"While signal transduction is traditionally seen as a sequence of protein interactions and modifications, it has become clear that these events are also spatially controlled through plasma membrane compartmentalization. To further understand this, my lab studies the architecture of the plasma membrane in general, as well as its contribution to signal transduction in T cells."
In eukaryotes, the plasma membrane–a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells–not only segregates the cell from its environment, but also serves as the principal interface for communication between cells. Not surprisingly, the plasma membrane's structure and properties impact many biological processes. T cells, whose main job is to fight infection, for example, utilize and reorganize their plasma membrane constantly during activation and effector functions. This is most dramatically seen in the establishment of signaling microclusters and the formation of the immunological synapse between T cells and antigen-presenting cells upon activation of the former by the latter.
Despite a lot of interest in the past in the precise architecture of the plasma membrane, studies of plasma membrane-associated signaling had been hampered by technical barriers such as cell lysis and limited resolution in microscopy. Lillemeier overcame these limitations through the use of novel high-resolution imaging techniques such as photo-activated localization microscopy (PALM) and dual color fluorescence crosscorrelation spectroscopy (dcFCCS), which allowed him to observe directly the spatial and temporal distribution of membrane-associated molecules on a nanometer scale.
He discovered that all membrane-associated proteins in the cells that he examined are clustered into what he refers to as "protein islands," which led him to postulate a novel concept for the general architecture of plasma membranes. Lillemeier also found that the T cell receptor signaling cascade is spatially and temporally controlled through the segregation and association of distinct membrane microdomains (protein islands) that contain specific subsets of T cell signaling molecules. He believes that this type of signal control may be a general feature of membrane-associated signaling and is probably used in a variety of signaling processes.
Lillemeier will expand his research to understand how this higher order in the plasma membrane is achieved and what molecular mechanisms are in place to utilize it during signal transduction. His studies will help to expand knowledge of spatio-temporal signaling control, which will suggest new approaches in manipulating the response of the immune system to pathogens and diseases.
