IK Multimedia Releases AmpliTube Slash App Featuring Models of Slash's Amps and Effects
IK Multimedia Releases AmpliTube Slash App Featuring Models of Slash's Amps and Effects
Related Content
IK Multimedia has released AmpliTube Slash, a new app for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad and Mac/PC that lets you play, practice and record with Slash's signature pedals and amplifiers.
All versions of AmpliTube Slash feature models of the gear used by Slash in the studio and live. These include his Marshall amps and signature effect pedals. You'll also find a comprehensive collection of Slash's tone settings, which are provided as starting points for tone tweaking or playing along.
AmpliTube Slash provides a fully integrated multi-track recording studio for capturing ideas quickly and easily or producing entire songs and compositions. A song player section gives users the ability to play along with songs or backing tracks by importing them directly from their device library or computer.
"My new album, Apocalyptic Love, was entirely written while we were on tour," Slash said. "If we're not performing' we're traveling, so there is little time for creating music. By using my iPhone along with IK's AmpliTube and iRig, I was able to capture whatever ideas I had swimming in my head, usually around 4 a.m."
[[ Slash adorns the cover of the July 2012 issue of Guitar World. It's available now at the Guitar World Online Store. ]]
"AmpliTube iRig comes in really handy for on-the-go practicing, recording or just jamming on different ideas –- even if it's on the bus -– it's right with me all the time," Slash added. "I'll do some tweaks on the Marshalls, but there are also different effects that are available including distortion, chorus, auto wah and more."
IK worked with Slash to model his entire rig, including two classic rock amplifiers, the Marshall JCM Slash Edition Silver Jubilee and the Marshall AFD100. Both feature Slash's favorite 1960 Marshall speaker cabinet. Together with these amps, users can choose from six stompbox effects, including Slash's signature Delay, Gate, Octave/Fuzz, Chorus, Booster and Wah/Distortion.
The rig is fully configurable so that the signal chain can be freely customized depending upon the device used: 3 stompbox effects into an amp and cabinet on the iPhone/iPod touch; 4 stompbox effects and amp/cabinet/mic on the iPad, and up to 12 stompbox effect combinations into dual amp/cab/mic/room on the Mac/PC.
AmpliTube Slash for iPhone and iPad are now available from the App Store now for $9.99/€7.99. Existing users of AmpliTube for iPhone, iPod touch or iPad can purchase AmpliTube Slash as an in-app purchase for $9.99/€7.99, or individual models a la carte starting at $2.99/€1.99.
For Mac/PC users, AmpliTube Slash can be purchased inside AmpliTube Custom Shop for $79.99/€59.99 (excluding taxes), or individual models can be purchased a' la carte starting from $5 each.
Order AmpliTube Slash for iPhone here and AmpliTube Slash for iPad here.

@mak_101 are you kidding? You must be young. Things were a LOT more expensive in the past, you couldn't get thousands of dollars of amps and pedals for 80 bucks when I was starting. You couldn't pay anything to have a pocket-sized practice amp that was actually many amps and pedals, etc. You sound a bit entitled to me. Struggling musicians have done far more with less and at much higher prices.
June 16, 2012 at 6:46pm
Here's a list of the modeled gear without beating around the bush. I've also included street prices when available.
MXR Smart Gate - $120
Boss DD-3 Digital Delay - $139
MXR Stereo Chorus - $170
MXR Custom Audio Electronics MC-401 Boost/Line Driver - $100
MXR Blue Box (fuzz/2 ocative lower effect) - $70
Dunlop SW-95 Crybaby SLASH Wah - $136
Marshall SLASH AFD100 head - $5,000
Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 - ????
Marshall 1960AV cab - $1,200
Marshall 1960BV cab - $1,200
All that gear for $80...not too shabby and definitely not worth complaining about!

$79.99 for the PC version? That seems a bit steep. I love IK Multimedia and use Amplitube on my iPhone, iPad, and PC, but am growing real tired of paying for each separately. Upgrading the app should work for both devices. If you've bought lots of their products already (like me) you do accumulate points which can be used for Custom Shop purchases. But you can only use them for 1/2 the purchase and they can't be used for in app purchases. Lame. Quit bleeding struggling musicians dry you leeches!

You are hereWhitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey
Whitby Abbey is one of the most atmospheric locations in England. The desolate ruins stand stark above steep cliffs overlooking the old whaling village of Whitby in North Yorkshire, a testament to the town's former religious significance.
The abbey was founded in 651AD, and was the site of the Synod of Whitby in 664, when a vote was held to decide if the church should adopt the Celtic or Roman date for Easter. The vote favoured the Roman date and this led to a decline in Celtic Christianity. The abbey's influence decreased in the 9th century, and it was destroyed and looted in the bloody Viking raid of 867AD. In the late 11th Century a Norman knight came to Whitby and was inspired to rebuild the abbey, which continued as a place of monastic life until the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. Tradition holds that Henry's men had the abbey bells loaded onto a ship, which sank - in heavenly retribution - not long after it had left the shore. In bygone years young lovers would listen for the sound of the bells in the depths, as this was thought to be a fortunate omen for their future.
Whitby itself is steeped in folklore and legend, which, along with the abbey's foreboding ruins are said to have provided inspiration for Bram Stoker's gothic masterpiece Dracula. In the book Whitby is the destination for the doomed ship Demeter, which carries Dracula to England.
The first Abbess of the abbey, St Hild, became a focus for folklore and legend through the centuries and was said to have performed many miraculous deeds. Tradition tells how she rid the town of snakes, lopping off their heads with her enchanted whip. Fossil ammonites, frequently found on the shore, were once seen as the headless remains of these petrified snakes.
The abbess Hild was also once thought to make an appearance. Crowds from far and wide used to gather at the west side of Whitby Churchyard, between 10.00 and 11.00 in the morning, where there was clear view of the north side of the abbey and the highest window. When the sun shone on the window it created an illusion of a woman's form wrapped in a shroud. This optical illusion was presumed to be the ghost of abbey's founder, tradition grew that she also walked the abbey as a phantom.
Other Whitby traditions include: a phantom coach and horses, which thunders to a halt outside the church, a headless spectre at Fitzsimmon's steps, and a mischievous sprite called Hob (which is a generic name for a mischievous goblin), who haunts the dark country lanes around the town, and associations with the giant Wade who lived nearby. The first poet of England is also lived at Whitby in the 7th Century. He was given the gift of poetry after having an angelic vision.
An ancient festival called 'The Planting of the Penny Hedge' is held on the shore here on the eve of Ascension Day. Wooden stakes are cut from Eskdale side and carried through the town at sunrise to the shore, where they are woven into a strong hedge before the tide turns. The name Penny Hedge is thought to relate the price of the knife used for cutting the hedge. In legend the ceremony dates back to 1159 when the Abbott of Whitby imposed a penance on three hunters and their future generations for murdering a hermit. To save them from execution they had to make a stake hedge that would resist the sea every year until their descendant had died out. The festival is probably related to the renewing of old boundaries around the parish.
Whitby is an inspirational place to visit if you are interested in the folklore and traditions of Britain. The abbey has an archaeological display and gift shop open most of the year.
Directions: Whitby reached via the A171 from Scarborough or Middlesborough, or the A174 coastal road.

a really nice place even the steep walk up but lush all the same
Another absolute must to visit. Whitby in a storm is exhilerating; it is easy to see how Bram Stoker got his inspiration for the novel 'Dracula', with the abbey silhoutted against a darkened sky, the shipwreck that occured when Stoker was staying there,the whale's jawbone, the vast cemetery... A small fishing town on the Northern coast with winding roads up steep inclines.Of late, 'Dracula Experience' type places have somewhat marred its quaint beauty but nevertheless another crucial Northern place to visit ,absorb the atmosphere and learn about the fascinating St.Hild(e)...

|Prognostic modeling of individual patient risk and mortality impact of ischemic and hemorrhagic complications: assessment from the Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage Strategy trial.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20026777 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Both ischemic and hemorrhagic complications increase mortality rate in acute coronary syndromes. Their frequency and relative importance vary according to individual patient risk profiles. We sought to develop prognostic models for the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and major bleeding to assess their impact on risk of death and to examine the manner in which alternative antithrombotic regimens affect these risks in individual patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: The Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage Strategy (ACUITY) trial randomized 13 819 patients with acute coronary syndrome to heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, bivalirudin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor, or bivalirudin alone. By logistic regression, there were 5 independent predictors of MI within 30 days (n=705; 5.1%) and 8 independent predictors of major bleeding (n=645; 4.7%), only 2 of which were common to both event types. In a covariate-adjusted, time-updated Cox regression model, both MI and major bleeding significantly affected subsequent mortality rate (hazard ratios, 2.7 and 2.9, respectively; both P<0.001). Treatment with bivalirudin versus heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor was associated with a nonsignificant 8% increase in MI and a highly significant 50% decrease in major bleeding. Given the individual patient risk profiles and the fact that bivalirudin prevented approximately 6 major bleeds for each MI that might occur from its use, the estimated reduction in bleeding was greater than the estimated increase in MI by bivalirudin alone rather than heparin plus a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor for nearly all patients. CONCLUSIONS: Consideration of the individual patient risk profile for MI and major bleeding and the relative treatment effects of alternative pharmacotherapies permits personalized decision making to optimize therapy of patients with acute coronary syndrome. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT00093158.

This test is totally messed up under Linux (Ubuntu 8.04), Firefox 10 and Flash Player 22.214.171.124, the base tone is literally buried in aliasing artifacts. Interestingly enough, running Foobar 2000 under Winde does not produce anything like that.
I can hear 18kHz at age of 31 using the audiocheck.net sample and Sennheiser HD 215 headphones.
Up to 18Khz in foobar2000 WASAPI output -> 16bit(dithering enabled).
Up to 17Khz in on http://www.noiseaddicts.com with Firefox 9.0.1 and Flash Player 10.3.183.7 (I don't know if it is a problem with the tone or Flash Player's fault)
Used a pair of Sennheiser HD-280 Pros through a Total Bithead.
Edit: I am 27
There are many potential problems when one attempts to play back audio which is pure sine, particularly high frequency content >17 kHz. I had to verify that the file was OK by downloading it; I think also my standard sound card (Audigy 2 running kX) which natively runs at 48 kHz and on-chip resamples to 44.1 was also introducing aliasing when playing in-browser.
I get undistorted bit perfect output in foobar with the PPHS resampler, and the MP3 as offered on the noiseaddicts site plays fine if I do so in foobar; anywhere else and it distorts). I also tested with Audacity at 48 kHz project rate and Cubase 5.5 with kX ASIO at 48 kHz. FWIW the older versions of Audition seemed to have problems generating pure sines above 16/17 kHz, couldn't figure out why at the time. (it wasn't a playback-distortion problem, directly burning the WAVs to a CD also resulting in aliasing on playback).
I used Audacity to generate my own tones to doublecheck my results: on my nearfield monitors in my fairly noisy room I can hear tones clearly to ~18 kHz. Not tested with my HD650s tonight - when I've tested in a quiet environment previously, playing back tones from both a PC and my H340, I could hear to about 19 kHz). I am 26 and a handful of months, my right inner ear was unfortunately damaged a few years ago when someone smacked me square on the ear with a flat palm (result: NIHL, tinnitus, hyperacusis etc, it's a bitch).
The only sure-fire way to check your hearing with sines is to generate them yourself in a trusted audio editor or DAW then play back on a system you've verified as not introducing additional distortion; I set up and checked foobar using the udial.ape test.

What is hacker culture?
Eric Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar (an important work describing the effectiveness of open collaboration and development), recently wrote a piece calling for "Social Justice Warriors" to be ejected from the hacker community. The primary thrust of his argument is that by calling for a removal of the "cult of meritocracy", these SJWs are attacking the central aspect of hacker culture - that the quality of code is all that matters.

When a story is best told through a visual representation of geography, maps are often the best way of telling that story. So what are some ways to make the maps?
Thanks to The Huffington Post, join Hacks/Hackers NYC at AOL Headquarters on Nov. 1, when Jeff Larson of ProPublica, John Keefe of WNYC and Albert Sun of The Wall Street Journal talk through their mapmaking processes, which range from the simple yet sophisticated to the coder-reliant and custom-built.
You'll hear from:
John Keefe: As hurricane Irene approached, WNYC's Evacuation Zone map quickly became the station's most-trafficked -- and most viral -- news interactive ever, helping New Yorkers quickly determine whether they were in a flood zone. Keefe will show how easy it was to make.
Albert Sun: WSJ Census Map Maker is an experimental project hoping to make census data more useful by letting people draw out arbitrary areas composed of census blocks and getting demographic information about that area. It's been seized upon by communities engaged in local redistricting in Washington D.C. Sun will show a couple different use cases for the tool, some future directions for it and how it was created using GeoDjango and the Google Maps API.
Jeff Larson: ProPublica recently released two interactive maps as part of a story on corporate influence in the redistricting process. Each map is dynamically generated from over two gigabytes of data through a new mapping library ProPublica wrote in-house called simple-tiles. Larson will go over the technology behind the library, the front end tricks used in the maps, and a general theory of when mapping is appropriate.
To join this behind-the-scenes look at mapmaking for news, RSVP today ($10, payable in advance) to attend the Hacks/Hackers NYC meetup — this will help cover food and drinks. If the $10 fee is beyond your budget, please email nyc[at]hackshackers[dot]com and we'll work things out with you.
6:30 p.m. - 7 p.m.: Doors and dinner
7 p.m.: Presentation and Q&A
~8:15 p.m. - 9 p.m.: Networking and socializing
We need your help! To volunteer to help check people in (it's a great way to meet everyone), photograph or blog the presentation, email us at nyc[at]hackshackers[dot]com.
Have an idea for future Hacks/Hackers topics, speakers and events that meet the at the intersection journalism, technology and innovation? Let us know at j.mp/hhnycInput.
We hope to see you Nov. 1!

Obama won it by 10 percent, so he has a cushion here as well.
I could give my parents this relief, this cushion that they never had.
He smiled sheepishly, pulled the pistol out and laid it on a cushion beside him.
The morning was like being swept along on a cushion of good will.
Ideally, we'd be growing fast now, to cushion against the inevitable slowdown.
Dolly used to pick nosegays for her mamma's toilet-table, and stick pins in the cushion in stars.
She buried her face in the cushion where his shoulder had been.
A 22 large Book of Common Prayer stood open against an oaken rest on a table; a cushion of black velvet was beneath it.
The cushion capital is the most common form used in the Norman style.
Within that half-globe there was a monster, resting upon a cushion of softest silk.
c.1300, from Old French coissin "seat cushion" (12c., Modern French coussin), probably a variant of Vulgar Latin *coxinum, from Latin coxa "hip, thigh," or from Latin culcita "mattress." Someone has counted more than 400 spellings of the plural of this word in Middle English wills and inventories. Also from the French word are Italian cuscino, Spanish cojin.
1730s, from cushion (n.). In the figurative sense, from 1863. Related: Cushioned; cushioning.

A padlike body part.

ERs report sharp rise in patients who used energy drinks
SAN FRANCISCO — A new government survey suggests the number of people seeking emergency treatment from consuming energy drinks has doubled nationwide during the past four years, the same period in which the supercharged drink industry surged in popularity in convenience stores, bars and on college campuses.
From 2007 to 2011, the government estimates the number of emergency room visits involving the neon-labeled beverages shot up from about 10,000 to more than 20,000. Most of those cases involved teens or young adults, according to a survey of the nation's hospitals released late last week by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The report doesn't specify which symptoms brought people to the emergency room but calls energy drink consumption a "rising public health problem" that can cause insomnia, nervousness, headache, fast heartbeat and seizures that are severe enough to require emergency care.
Several emergency physicians said they had seen a clear uptick in the number of patients suffering from irregular heartbeats, anxiety and heart attacks who said they had recently downed an energy drink.
More than half of the patients considered in the survey who wound up in the emergency room told doctors they had downed only energy drinks. In 2011, about 42 percent of the cases involved energy drinks in combination with alcohol or drugs, such as the stimulants Adderall or Ritalin.
"A lot of people don't realize the strength of these things. I had someone come in recently who had drunk three energy drinks in an hour, which is the equivalent of 15 cups of coffee," said Howard Mell, an emergency physician in the suburbs of Cleveland, who serves as a spokesman for the American College of Emergency Physicians. "Essentially he gave himself a stress test, and thankfully he passed. But if he had a weak heart or suffered from coronary disease and didn't know it, this could have precipitated very bad things."
The findings emerge as concerns over energy drinks have intensified with reports last fall of 18 deaths possibly tied to the drinks — including a 14-year-old Maryland girl who died after drinking two large cans of Monster Energy drinks. Monster does not believe its products were responsible for the death.
Two senators are calling for the Food and Drug Administration to investigate safety concerns about energy drinks and their ingredients.

Mavs exhale after no deals made before deadline
The Mavericks all felt a little sigh of relief when the trade deadline passed and no deals were made.
"This is what we wanted," Dirk Nowitzki said. "We feel we're healthy, minus Caron (Butler). So we're looking forward to a strong finish and hopefully a long playoff push."
The next order of business, Nowitzki said, is to tighten up the defense.
"We've shown in the last couple weeks we have enough weapons and can score on any team," he said. "We slacked a little on defense, but sometimes when you put the ball in the basket all the time, you lose your focus on defense gets away and you relax a little. But we're at our best when we get stops and push the ball and get easy shots."

The act of delivering an inexplicably disappointing performance, usually within the context of a college football season.
Oklahoma State's overtime loss to an unranked Iowa State was a full-blown Clemsoning.

1. The act of failing miserably on a grand athletic stage, or when the stakes are high. 2. Record-setting failure, usually reserved for college football.
There was an epic example of clemsoning when Clemson hosted Florida State in a highly anticipated football game on October 19, 2013. Clemson was ranked 3rd, while Florida State was ranked 5th. Florida State won the game 51 - 14. Clemson set a NCAA record for margin of defeat by a home team ranked #3 or higher. The 51 points scored by Florida State is the most points ever allowed by a Clemson opponent on Clemson's home field. Most of the home team fans could not take the clemsoning any longer and left the game mid way through the third quarter.

Two Eastlake students win merit scholarships
May 25, 2014
By Neil Pierson
New: May 25, 11:14 a.m.
James McCutcheon and Ryan Holmdahl have spent the past four years building impressive résumés, and their diligence has paid off with some rare recognitions.
The Eastlake High School seniors were among the list of 2014 National Merit Scholarship winners announced May 7. A total of five students from the Lake Washington School District were chosen, including Holmdahl, a Redmond resident, and McCutcheon, a Sammamish resident. The other three are also Sammamish residents – Cameron Akker and Samhita Karnati of Redmond High, and Anwell Wang of the International Community School in Kirkland.
Although every student in the nation who takes the PSAT is initially eligible for a National Merit Scholarship, a very small percentage actually gets the $2,500 award.
Of the 1.5 million students who take the PSAT annually, about 50,000 are given letters of commendation for their high scores, and only 16,000 are selected in September as scholarship semifinalists.
Roughly 15,000 national finalists are chosen in February. Those students, McCutcheon explained, are given the opportunity to complete an online application – which includes their academic standing, teacher recommendations and an essay – and compete for one of 2,500 scholarships, 50 per state.
The merit scholarships are chosen without regard to a student's financial standing, the college they've chosen or the career path they're pursuing.
McCutcheon lived in New Zealand and England before moving to the U.S. six years ago, and thinks that may have placed a part in his selection.
"I've got a lot of diversity in my application," he said.
Holmdahl called the scholarship "a nice validation" of the work he's put in at Eastlake.
"They say that it starts when you take the PSAT," he noted, "but it was a lot of work you had to do before that, keeping up with your grades, keeping up with your studies, doing the SAT prep work beforehand, just making sure you're off on the best footing you can be."
Both Eastlake seniors are well-rounded in their academics, taking a dizzying array of advanced placement courses over the past two years.
McCutcheon has completed, or is in the process of completing AP classes in calculus, Spanish, U.S. government, chemistry and literature. Holmdahl has done each of those five courses as well as AP biology.
"I'm just trying to keep my interests diverse, making sure I'm not depriving myself of one particular field," Holmdahl said.
They're also no slouches when it comes to extracurricular activities. McCutcheon is a year-round athlete for the Wolves, having run track for four years and cross country for three. He was the swim team captain this winter, and even joined the tennis squad as a senior.
Meanwhile, Holmdahl served as captain for this year's tennis team, and in leadership roles for the school's chess club, speech and debate team, and Science Honor Society.
Holmdahl credits his parents, Anne and Todd, for being his biggest influences. His older brother, Eric, has also had a lot to do with his success, having gone on to Stanford University as a computer science major. Ryan will be joining Eric this fall at the prestigious school in Palo Alto, Calif., and said he'll likely study computer science, too.
"I've had some outside-of-school experience with that, and so it's probably my most promising interest," he said. "But taking AP government this year really got me interested in law, and so I might consider going on the law track in graduate school."
McCutcheon won't be going far from Sammamish, having locked up a spot at the University of Washington. He's entering the Foster School of Business and has a couple options in mind for where he's headed.
"I either want to go into international business, because I'm pretty good at languages and I've had lots of experiences in other countries," he said, "or business analysis, because I'm good with numbers."
Like Holmdahl, McCutcheon said his parents, Kathryn and Douglas, have nudged him in the right direction.
"My parents have always pushed me to get my work done on time and complete it to the best of my ability, so really, they're my role models in this," McCutcheon said.

One person was killed late Tuesday morning in a chain-reaction accident on Interstate 86 in the Corning area.
The accident took place in the highway's westbound lane in the Village of Riverside around 11:18 a.m., when a westbound box truck lost control on a curve in heavy rain and struck a jersey barrier, causing the truck to overturn just west of Exit 44B, according to New York State Police at Painted Post.
Several other vehicles collided in an effort to avoid the truck, and one of those was another commercial truck that was in the passing lane and went out of control when the driver tried to stop, ...

|The new concept of ''interventional heart failure therapy'': part 2--inotropes, valvular disease, pumps, and transplantation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20595625 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Recent advances in heart failure therapy include a variety of mechanical and device-based technologies that target structural aspects of heart failure that cannot be treated with drug therapy alone; these newer therapies can collectively be described as interventional heart failure therapy. This article is the second in a 2-part series reviewing interventional heart failure therapy. Interventions included in this discussion include those indicated for the treatment of end-stage refractory heart failure, including interventional medical therapy, interventional treatment of valvular disease, mechanical assist devices, and heart transplantation. Also included is a review of the currently available catheter-based pumps, which are intended to provide temporary support in patients with acute hemodynamic compromise. The use of cellular or stem cell therapy for the treatment of heart failure is an emerging interventional therapy and data supporting its use for the treatment heart failure will also be presented, as will a discussion of the role of palliative care and self-care in heart failure therapy.

text: Federal Court Rules DOMA Is Unconstitutional US appeals court slams Defense of Marriage Act By Newser Editors and Wire Services Posted May 31, 2012 9:39 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (52) (Newser) – A US appeals court today declared that the federal Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutionally denies federal benefits to married gay couples, a groundbreaking ruling all but certain to wind up before the Supreme Court. The unanimous ruling said the 1996 law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman discriminates against gay couples because it doesn't give them the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couples. The three-judge panel of the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals wasn't asked to address whether gay couples have a constitutional right to marry. The panel also didn't rule on the law's other politically combustible provision, which said states without same-sex marriage cannot be forced to recognize gay unions performed in states where it's legal. The appeals court, the first federal appeals panel to deem the benefits section of the law unconstitutional, agreed with a lower-court judge who ruled in 2010 that DOMA is unconstitutional because it interferes with the right of a state to define marriage and denies married gay couples federal benefits given to heterosexual married couples, including the ability to file joint tax returns.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Gov. Rick Snyder says a decision by Michigan voters to reject a proposal that would have retained an emergency manager law he championed will make it more difficult for financially troubled communities to succeed.
The Republican told WWJ-AM on Wednesday morning that everyone wants to see those communities succeed, but the best tool to help them now is off the table.
The law gave state-appointed managers sweeping authority to cancel union contracts and oust elected officials overseeing insolvent local governments.
Snyder later told reporters he thinks voter confusion in west Michigan may have contributed to the defeat of Proposal One. "You might see that more because of how the outstate vote went - where there are a number of communities that really didn't have emergency managers in their areas - that didn't have experience either pro or con with it and so it wasn't highlighted the same way - because early numbers I saw - you could see fairly strong responses one way or the other in metro Detroit - and other areas where there have been managers."
Michigan voters also rejected five proposals to amend the state constitution to deal with issues ranging from collective bargaining to building a new bridge to Canada.
Snyder had urged voters to reject the proposals to amend the constitution. He says those could have been "devastating" to the state if approved.

An Asian Irony
Market shifts among Asian countries may signal new competitive patterns.
John J. Luke, Technical Editor
It is no secret that in the past 20 years, several Asian economies have decimated US fiber, fabric and garment manufacturing. These countries have spread their tentacles into textile/apparel complexes in many additional countries. It also is axiomatic that, lacking a not-expected major policy reversal, new, freer quota regulations from the WTO will kick in next January. As this happens, market shifts among the countries of the Asian region may signal new competitive patterns. In an eloquent irony, the Wall Street Journal reported recently that "A group of the world's poorest countries [are planning an appeal to the WTO] to save their industries from being overwhelmed by textile-production superpowers such as China and India." More about this later as recent FEB data examining the stability and growth patterns of the superpower nature of the Asian textile/apparel complex is analyzed.
"Synthetic fibers" means man-made fiber materials derived largely from petroleum-based hydrocarbon materials, not including cigarette tow. The majority of these fibers are nylon, polyester, acrylic and olefin.
"Cellulosic fibers" means cellulose-based fibrous materials including viscose and lyocell rayons and cellulose acetate materials, not including cigarette tow.
In FEB's lexicon, Asia is divided into four subregions: Central Asia covers China and Hong Kong; Northeast Asia covers South Korea, Taiwan and Japan; Southeast Asia covers Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore and Vietnam; and West Asia covers India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Asian Fiber Consumption By Region
Table 1 details the consumption of all manufactured fibers from 1996 through 2002. The meteoric rise of total man-made fiber production in Asia has been driven almost entirely by increases in production in the Central Asian region. Total Asian production rose at a compounded annual rate of 7.8 percent, while Central Asia's share of the total, riding a 13+ percent annual growth rate, doubled from 12+ billion pounds and a 39-percent market share to 25.6 billion pounds and a 54-percent market share. As China ballooned, Northeast Asian manufacturers stagnated and Southeast Asian producers grew slightly. West Asia - particularly India - grew at an 8-percent compounded annual rate; but, because it started so far behind China, it is unlikely to overtake the mainland giant.
The table clearly demonstrates the obvious: Asian mill consumption of all manufactured fibers is driven by activities in Central Asia - followed closely by Northeast Asia. Central Asia is a large net importer of fibers, while Northeast Asia is an equally large net exporter (See Table 2). Parenthetically, the net export/import positions of the remaining two Asian regions, while impressive, pale in comparison to these larger two and will receive considerably less attention in the discussion presented here.
Northeast Asia is composed of three economies generally more developed than those countries in the rest of Asia. Japan, Korea and Taiwan have had their day in the labor employment sun and have moved on to more capital-intensive economies. Japan, for example, has used the benefits of its earlier labor-driven economic plans to morph into bankers financing economic expansions in the developing nations of the Asian Pacific Ocean shoreline. The capital already sunk into fiber production is not wasted, but rather has been diverted into support for substantial export programs that show in the net export posture of Northeast Asia.
China, in comparison, has been a region heavily committed to labor employment and dominance of labor-sensitive industries. Central Asia has run a fiber deficit for years - meaning that, in addition to the dramatic fiber-plant building program undertaken in the past decade, the region imported approximately half as much fiber as Northeast Asia was exporting. At the end of the day, the region is a net exporter of fibers.
One other distribution activity is worthy of mention. West Asia recently has begun to supply fiber material from local sources and appears gradually to be reducing its net import stance. As noted in TW 's September Fiber World feature, recent polyester expansion moves by India's Reliance Industries Ltd. will dramatically change the supply posture to the Indian subcontinent. It is unlikely that India seriously will threaten China's dominance, but the previously mentioned Wall Street Journal article suggests a battle royal between the more- and less-developed nations for dominance in apparel and made-up articles production.
The Great Irony
China is beginning to demonstrate the characteristics of a changing economy, particularly as it relates to outsourcing. Increasingly, companies in Hong Kong and mainland China are managing the production process with companies spread around the entire eastern Asian region. According to the Wall Street Journal, smaller countries in the area are concerned that the scheduled Jan. 1, 2005, WTO quota elimination will result in an overpowering response by the larger, more developed nations such as China and Hong Kong. The pleading nations anticipate a major loss of trade share and are requesting "special trade deals to protect them from a free-for-all." As developed countries agreed to reduce and ultimately drop garment quotas after the Uruguay round of trade talks, companies outsourced labor-sensitive articles to China, particularly those that built the fiber/fabric/garment colossus detailed above. To less-developed nations, for some of whom garments represent up to 70 percent or more of total exports, China's possible dominance represents a serious threat to their overall economies. In a not-unexpected move, a "group of the world's poorest countries ... led by Mauritius and Bangladesh [including, but not limited to Nepal, Cambodia, Sri Lanka and the Dominican Republic] are making an 11th-hour appeal to ... save their industries from being overwhelmed by ... China and India." According to the Wall Street Journal, "China's entry into the WTO in December 2001 has helped make it more competitive than many ... countries imagined it would be when they signed the 1995 agreement."
Importing countries of the West and export competitors China and India have promised to review the situation, but it is arguable whether much if anything will be changed. How ironic that high-wage economies that sacrificed entry-level jobs to freer world trade now find themselves sharing economic concerns with low-wage economies that did not believe one or more Asian countries would become superpowers in the world of textiles!
Tough Road Ahead
If this were a betting match, odds probably would favor China. Despite the fact that the presented data include the early-century recession, the growth rate of China's textile complex has slowed, an almost natural result of increasing difficulties in maintaining increasing growth patterns against the increasing size of the base. To the extent that China refuses to agree to reduced restrictions, it can provide increased services by investing in labor-sensitive manufacturing and continuing to absorb significant fiber production from those world areas currently marooned by the move of industries to Asia. As the Wall Street Journal cites, "Convincing the Chinese to make any concessions may be a tough task."

|Dr. Donna Beegle is honored to be named a 2014 Woodrow Wilson Princeton Fellow and to receive the 2014 Maine Community Caring Collaborative HERO award.
Welcome to Communication Across Barriers
"My education, my work, and my passion are to help people from all races who are trapped in poverty. I want them to have genuine options for lifelong success. This can only happen if the voices of those struggling with poverty can be heard and their perspectives understood.
Poverty is resolvable, however, making a difference for people who live in the crisis of poverty requires a paradigm shift.
A shift that moves us beyond stereotypes and judgement to a deeper understanding of the causes of poverty and its impact on human beings. With this awareness, we can work together to provide genuine opportunities for people to move out of poverty." -- Donna Beegle
Poverty Institute
The Poverty Institute is hands on two-day poverty institute for educators, health, justice, social service professionals, and community members who want to better understand poverty and to gain tools for making a difference.
Coaching Institute
Poverty Coaching Institutes prepare participants to serve as poverty coaches for their organizations. A Communication Across Barriers poverty coach is trained to conduct workshops for breaking poverty barriers and improving communication and relationships for in-house staff. Coaches serve as on-site experts for educating colleagues, providing leadership for breaking poverty barriers, and developing system wide approaches for improving outcomes for families who live in the war zone of poverty. Poverty coaches will also be trained to conduct Poverty Competency Assessments and assist their organization in developing and implementing customized action plans with measurable results.
Dr. Donna Beegle will captivate the audience with an informative, inspirational and motivational keynote presentation that is
customized for your group. The Keynote will include working more effectively with students and families who live in the crisis of poverty,
improving communication across poverty barriers, One woman's journey from abject poverty to a Doctorate, or targeting your conference theme.
Dr. Donna M. Beegle provides inspirational, motivational, informative speeches customized for your Organization. Donna weaves personal experiences with research to provide insights for communicating and working more effectively across race, poverty, gender, and generational barriers.
All sessions are offered in a workshop or keynote format. Donna' s two most requested workshop sessions are "Poverty 101" and "Concrete tools for communicating more effectively." Participants can receive continuing education credits. All sessions are customized to meet your organizational goals.
Online Courses
3 Credits
This online series provides a foundation for understanding poverty and what to do about it. Currently, the number one source for education on poverty in America is the media. These courses examine poverty as a complex phenomenon experienced by individuals and created through the interaction of individuals within social systems. Insights are provided from the point of view of individuals experiencing poverty, and an introductory understanding of how social systems often support and perpetuate poverty. This series is grounded in theories of the discipline of Communication and Education.
We will be offering this course in the Spring of 2014. Please let us know if you're interested by signing up for our very low volume newsletter. You can cancel the newsletter anytime. When we know more details about the sign up process, we'll put that information out on our newsletter.
Poverty Competency Assessments
Is your organization really serving people in the crisis of poverty well? Do you have the tools and resources you need to be competent in helping people move out of poverty? Are you systemically setting people who live in poverty up for success?
You've heard of "Cultural Competency." Donna provides a template for organizational development that examines "Poverty Competency." Many organizations serve people living in poverty. This assessment examines the organizational policies, leadership, individual attitudes, beliefs, and values, and partnerships through the eyes of people living in poverty to ensure more successful outcomes. The assessment results in the development of a year-long action plan for improving services to people living in the crisis of poverty.
Opportunity Communities Model
The Opportunity Communities model provides guidance with implementing a community wide approach called the "Opportunity Community." This process bridges the gap between social service operations and the people who need them by creating a system where everyone is working together, and people in poverty are given opportunities to realize their strengths and reach their potential for moving forward. When communities come together to harness the value of everyone, lives are changed forever.

Seven Tips on Driving Internationally
International travel can be daunting enough without additional car-related stresses. When driving abroad, you'll have to tackle confusing rental contracts, local driving customs, convoluted parking rules, and driving on the left-hand side of the road with a steering wheel on the "wrong" side of the car. However, the experience of driving through the French Alps, across a Scottish moor, or up the cliffs of the Amalfi coast can be one of the most memorable parts of any trip. Just follow these driving tips for a stress-free road trip abroad.
Don't Get Stressed Out
This is easily the most important tip of all—possibly as important as all the other driving tips put together. No matter where you go on Earth, all cars operate on the same principal: gas pedal, brake pedal, steering wheel. Unless your car is missing one of these items, chances are you can operate it without too much difficulty. Over the past several years, automatic (i.e. non stick-shift) cars have slowly become more common abroad, although you'll likely have to pay more for one. If a stick-shift is all that's available and you're not comfortable driving, skip the challenge of learning on the fly on, say, the back roads of Thailand.
Research the Rules of the Road
What are the local speed limits and are they posted in kilometers or miles? What does a stop sign look like? Which side of the road do you drive on? What are the local laws on seat belts and child seats? Know all the answers to these questions before you rent. Of equal importance is checking what documents or permits, including an International Driver's Permit (IDP), your destination country requires. While more countries now only require a photo-based U.S. driver's license, an IDP is relatively easy to obtain at any AAA office nationwide, and, at $15, won't break your budget. The permit is also available through the National Automobile Club. Finally, make sure that your rental company provides insurance coverage that you're comfortable with; if not, you might want to contact your U.S.-based insurance company regarding purchasing additional international insurance.
Avoid City-Center Driving
While driving around the Tuscan countryside can be utterly sublime, figuring out how to get around even a small city like Florence can be the exact opposite experience. Many cities abroad either have excellent mass transit systems or fleets of cheap taxis (or both) to shuttle locals and visitors around. These transit networks are generally much cheaper than your rental car and offer good opportunities for everyone in your party to see more of the city. Save the car rental for when you want to explore between cities or tour the countryside, coastline, or mountains of a particular region.

The Best and Worst Airlines Revealed6th February 2013
Your flight is an essential part of your holiday and can't really be avoided. We all know it isn't glamorous and for the most part, your airline experience will be vastly the same regardless of who you travel with, but there are some airlines which do their passengers no favours. So without further ado, here's a look at the best and worst airlines from the past 12 months as collated by the consumer group Which?, so you know what to expect before boarding.
If you tend to holiday in Europe, the good news is that your flight shouldn't be much longer than 5 or 6 hours absolute tops. That is no excuse for poor service however so here's a look at the best and worst options for short haul flights in the coming months.
Best short haul
Swiss and Turkish Airlines came out top trumps in terms of best short haul flight for their staff and customer service although with both airlines only flying to Switzerland and Turkey respectively, your choice of destinations is limited. If you are flying elsewhere, it might be worth choosing Lufthansa and Aer Lingus who received ratings of 75% and 74%, ranking them the next best choices.
Worst short haul
It doesn't take a genius who got a double thumbs down with an extra-large pair of foam hands! Shamed by 8,000 people in a survey, they were slated for, well, just about everything and managed a score of just 34%! Customers' main gripes were in regards to their shameless extra charges and their tactics of automatically ticking 'optional' extras. That said, Thomas Cook Airlines were only marginally better, scoring just 36%. Can you guess who it was?
The longer you are in the air, the more important your in cabin experience is, and the airline's ability to route your luggage correctly too, so here's a look at the best and worst long haul airlines for your next adventure abroad.
Best long haul
Competition is actually quite stiff for long haul operators with Air New Zealand receiving the top score of 86% but Etihad, Emirates and Singapore Airlines weren't far behind with scores ranging between 84-81%. When you are spending more than a few hours in a seat with limited leg room, awkward sleeping positions and strangers who are keep elbowing you over the arm rests, experience expects decent on board service!
Worst long haul
Some of the worst offenders for long haul flights are those which serve the USA which American Airlines and United Airlines frequently receiving bad press for cancellations, delays and loss of luggage. If you are stickler for time keeping, it might be worth giving them a wide berth on your next trip across the pond if possible!
Sometimes it's the little things in life which are the most important so when it comes to other aspects of your on board experience from flight food to entertainment and of course safety, here are some other airlines which topped the awards boards…
Best safety record
If the stats are anything to go by and you have ever seen the opening scene of the film Final Destination, you might want to avoid China Airlines. Figures suggest they have had 8 losses of aircraft and a staggering 755 fatalities!
Best in flight food
Airplane food has often suffered from criticism but on a cheerier note, things are definitely on the up at 30,000ft! Turkish Airlines, Air New Zealand and Singapore Airlines have all received a pat on their back for their sumptuous offerings and with airlines like British Airways and Air France bringing in the hands of top chefs to craft their menus, things can only get better. (We hope!)
Best in flight entertainment
In 2011, Emirates won the best inflight entertainment award at the World Airline Awards which collate votes from more than 18 million passengers around the world. They were followed by Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific Airlines so if you are heading long haul and entertainment is your cabin air, these are the top choices!
This is just a quick look the best and worst airlines; after all, there are many different parameters for judging airlines but as long as they get you from A to B safely, most of usually have no complaints.
After reading this though we know you're dying to dish the dirt so go ahead and tell us, what's your best or worst airline experience?

It's sort of like "Lost In Translation," you know, at the end where Bill Murray whispers something very meaningful in Scarlett Johansson's ear, but the audience can't hear it. Same deal. The press was allowed to take pictures of the president, Gates, Crowley and Joe Biden drinking beer (and nonalcoholic beer), but there weren't any questions, and the parties involved ain't saying much.
I suppose it's nice that everybody was able to sit down and talk without, you know, arresting each other or threatening a lawsuit. Gates and Crowley plan to talk more in the future.

2014 Student Award

Sightlines Editor
Reprinted from USITT News and Notices
Elisheba Ittoop, a freelance sound designer, is slated to receive the 2008 USITT Rising Star Award, sponsored by LDI2008 and Live Design magazine.
This is the fourth year the Rising Star Award, which recognizes excellence and artistic achievement in the areas of scenic, lighting, sound, and projection design, or the convergence of these design disciplines, has been presented.
Ms. Ittoop was noted as almost perfectly fitting the award's criteria. Only those at the beginning of their design careers are considered. The winners must be in the first four years of professional (non-academic) work following the completion of their highest degree.
"We are very impressed with Elisheba Ittoop's resume, as well as her unique focus on the niche world of children's theatre," says David Johnson, associate publisher and editorial director of Live Design. "In keeping with the strong sound component of this year's USITT, with tributes to Abe Jacob and Helen and John Meyer, it seems fitting that this year's Rising Star winner is a young sound designer."
In nominating Ms. Ittoop, David E. Smith of the North Carolina School of the Arts notes that "she has quickly made a success of what is traditionally such a precarious position straight out of school. Not only has she picked up designs, she has also, more importantly, been asked back to design additional and future shows."
Since graduating from the North Carolina School of the Arts with a Master of Fine Arts degree in May 2007, she has done sound design for Children's Theatre of Charlotte (The Christmas Doll), Burning Coal Theatre (The Love Song of J. Robert Oppenheimer), Justice Theatre Project (Grapes of Wrath), and others. She has also been mix engineer for Chicago's Ravina Festival production of West Side Story, a remix of work done at NC School of the Arts.
The 2008 Rising Star Award will be presented at the Awards Banquet which concludes the USITT Annual Conference & Stage Expo in Houston, Texas on Saturday, March 22.
Ms. Ittoop joins past award winners: scenic designer Kelly Hanson (2005), scenic and lighting designer Justin Townsend (2006), and lighting designer John Horan (2007).

Last Monday was May 5. Perhaps you celebrated with Mexican friends who celebrate an unusual battle on May 5, 1862, which Mexico won against France.
If you treated yourself to Mexican fare, you probably had cilantro in your dish. In salsas and other Mexican dishes, the chopped green leaves with a distinctive odor and taste come from an easily grown herb that needs to be planted soon.
Coriandrum sativum is the botanical name of the plant that produces cilantro and coriander. This Jekyll and Hyde herb is used for its green leaves (cilantro) as well as for the round, light brown seeds ...
