Vatican uses the "T(errorism)" word to describe anti-papal attacksBy
The Vatican's official newspaper accused an Italian comedian on Wednesday of "terrorism" for criticizing the Pope and warned his rhetoric could fuel a return to 1970s-style political violence.
In an unusually strongly worded editorial, L'Osservatore Romano said a presenter of a televised May Day rock concert, which is sponsored by Italy's labor unions, had launched "vile attacks" on Pope Benedict in front of an "excitable crowd."
"This, too, is terrorism. It's terrorism to launch attacks on the Church," it said. "It's terrorism to stoke blind and irrational rage against someone who always speaks in the name of love, love for life and love for man."
At the concert, held every year in front of the Saint John in Lateran basilica — Rome's cathedral where Pope Benedict sits as bishop — one of the presenters, Andrea Rivera, spoke out against the Pontiff's stand on a number of issues.
"The Pope says he doesn't believe in evolution. I agree, in fact the Church has never evolved," he said.
The surprising thing here is how vitriolic the OR's editorial was worded. I'd like to see the text myself. It should be remembered that there is a great deal of tension between the Catholic Church and Italian society these days for a variety of reasons mentioned in the coverage linked above/below.
CWNews has its coverage here.
Dom asks the interesting question about the source of funding/sponsorship for the concert, considering it was held right outside the Basilica of St. John Lateran.
Still, "terrorism" I think was a poor choice of word for the editorial. "Terrorism" is one of those attention-grabbing words nowadays that can denote prettmuch anything one wishes to claim is "really bad." Heck, wikipedia has a whole page arguing about its strict definition. See Also: tragedy (anything really sad). And for the inverse usage: heroism (anything really good).
How about let's just say the guy was being a jerk and leave it at that?

- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? in person it is smaller then what it shows online, but still a perfect size not to big, not to small
- How accurate was the sizing? Not sure yet, just got it and waiting till valentines day to propose, Seems really good looking at her other rings that are the same size though
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Its perfect, exactly what i expected, I know my soon to be fiance will absolutley love it
I was really impressed with your product! I hope that you have a wedding band too.
The stones are definitely smaller than what it portrayed in the picture. As they are all tiny stones, it didn't look as it they are diamond but just crystals... So far, the stones are still intact so that's good. Don't expect it to be very big or sparkly. One good thing is, when it's under the lights, it does demonstrate the diamond's reflection and photos come out very sparkling.
My engagement ring is sparkling, shining, glistening, shimmering...says them all that's my ring

How to Increase Productivity Within Your Warehouse Fulfillment Center
Written By: Bill Bastian II
Automation is an effective way to increase productivity in your fulfillment center, but it still requires a careful approach to meet your needs and fit your budget. Depending on the size and demands on your warehouse and employees, different levels of automation may provide the most reliable returns and better productivity.
Streamlining your operations is about using the right tools in the right place, so you need an effective warehouse management system that will match your individual circumstances.
Use the Right Level of Automation for True Productivity
There are a number of factors that can impact your decision to automate material flows for order fulfillment. The initial investment, the seasonality of the vertical market, and the types of orders/pallets/products you deal with every day can determine which level of automation is right for you. Determining the level upfront is important, because under-investing upfront will lead to poor performance down the road, and any over investment could do financial harm before the necessary returns start coming in.
In some cases, you can see an immediate boost in productivity after installing simple conveyor systems. This allows the company to cut operational costs and provide a more ergonomic work environment. In other cases – those with a higher number of SKUs and a larger variety of product profiles – may need to look at higher levels of automation to maintain the accuracy and speed necessary to fulfill orders.
So how do you balance automation and manual labor to get the most productivity? Start by determining exactly where an automated system can remove mundane or ergonomically questionable tasks. In smaller companies with just a few products, a completely manual picking and replenishment system may be a valid option. As the company grows, though, and orders exceed 500 per day, you'll likely need something else.
In a larger company, it's possible to start by automating the replenishment process while leaving the picking to manual labor. You can remain productive and streamline many elements this way as long as orders are coming in at a controllable rate. On the other end of the spectrum, though, are automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) which provide high-speed storage, buffering, and sequencing of products while saving space and replacing forklifts and a lot of repetitive manual labor.
Is this the system for you? Consider the following case study:
You can get nearly 100% accuracy with these systems and set it for two- or three-shift operations. This will deliver the kind of productivity you need to deal with high levels of orders, a massive variety of SKUs, and heavy or unwieldy products that are difficult for people to handle.
Manual Productivity
Despite the amount of automation that is possible in the modern workplace and warehouse, there are still many tasks that are better suited to humans. It's important to identify these areas early in the process and make sure you have the right people handling the job because these tasks often require a level of tactile skill and intellect that is hard to do with a computer.
Some common instances include loading and unloading different trailers and load configurations, separating and sorting mixed-SKU pallets for receiving, performing quality checks, and more.
Start by determining your needs for automation (based on business demands, labor capabilities, and future expansion), then determine what level will be the most productive option and the best investment overall. Then, once you determine which tasks are best to automate and which should be handled by an employee, you'll be ready to run a far more efficient and profitable warehouse fulfillment center.

I find it interesting that everyone has their own lives....
My name is Paris and I'm in high school. Don't take me seriously por favor.
How i feel when i discover a new book/series that I love:
I would love to be able to make a reader feel like I feel when I read a good book. Those books that keep you up at night, just analyzing every detail, the books that you can't put down. The ones that give you a sense of nostalgia, a book you actually feel. The ones that make you feel happy yet sad at the same time when you finish reading it. The ones that seriously fuck up your emotions.
I want to change your emotions. I think that would be an amazing accomplishment for an author. To be able to change the way you think about things, to change your perspectives on certain radical ideas, that is what I want.
So yeah, totally give me constructive criticism forizzle.

|Magnesium in drinking water modifies the association between nitrate ingestion and risk of death from esophageal cancer.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23356648 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|The objective of this study was to explore whether magnesium (Mg) levels in drinking water modified the effects of nitrate on esophageal cancer risk occurrence. A matched cancer case-control study was used to investigate the relationship between the risk of death from esophageal cancer and exposure to nitrate in drinking water in Taiwan. All esophageal cancer deaths of Taiwan residents from 2006 through 2010 were obtained from the Bureau of Vital Statistics of the Taiwan Provincial Department of Health. Controls were deaths from other causes and were pair-matched to cancer cases by gender, year of birth, and year of death. Information on the levels of nitrate-nitrogen (NO(3)-N) and Mg in drinking water were collected from Taiwan Water Supply Corporation (TWSC). The municipality of residence for cancer cases and controls was presumed to be the source of the subject's NO(3)-N and Mg exposure via drinking water. Evidence of an interaction was noted between drinking water NO(3)-N and Mg intake. This is the first study to report effect modification by Mg intake originating from drinking water on an association between NO(3)-N exposure and increased risk mortality attributed to esophageal cancer.

Judge: HIGHERS
This is a termination of parental rights case. Father's parental rights were terminated on the ground of abandonment for willful failure to visit and willful failure to support. Because the trial court's order terminating Father's parental rights fails to set forth sufficient findings, we are unable to adequately address the issue of abandonment in this case. Accordingly, we vacate the judgment of the chancery court and we remand for entry of an order that sets forth sufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the termination of Father's parental rights.

Judge: KIRBY
This appeal stems from the denial of a Rule 60.02 motion, filed by an attorney on his own behalf, to set aside an order. The attorney tried unsuccessfully to derail a sheriff's sale of his client's property through the use of an elaborate contrivance. In the aftermath, contempt charges were filed against the attorney. In the ensuing civil contempt proceedings, the trial court entered an order that concluded that the trial court was unable to hold the errant attorney in civil contempt of court. The order included obiter dictum in which the trial court questioned the attorney's veracity as an officer of the court, stated that he could have been held in criminal contempt had he been charged with such, and referred the matter to the Board of Professional Responsibility. Over five years later, the attorney and his client filed the Rule 60.02 motion that is the subject of this appeal, asking the trial court to set aside the order with the offending dicta. The trial court dismissed the Rule 60.02 motion, finding that it either did not have subject matter jurisdiction to set aside the order or, in the alternative, that the motion to set aside was untimely and without merit. The attorney and his client appeal. We reverse the trial court's holding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction to adjudicate the Rule 60.02 motion, but affirm the trial court's alternative holding that the motion to set aside is untimely and wholly without merit. In light of improper statements made in the attorney's appellate brief about the trial judge, we also find it necessary to refer the appellant attorney to the Board of Professional Responsibility.
Douglas R. Beier, Morristown, Tennessee, for the appellant, Mubashir Mahmood.
J. Eric Harrison, Morristown, Tennessee, for the appellee, Maryam Mubashir.
Judge: SWINEY
This appeal arises from a divorce. Maryam Mubashir ("Wife") sued Mubashir Mahmood ("Husband") for divorce in the Chancery Court for Hamblen County ("the Trial Court"). The Trial Court granted the divorce. Husband appeals, raising numerous issues concerning parenting time, arrearages, and alimony. We modify the judgment of the Trial Court as it pertains to certain arrearages and Husband's parenting time with the parties' children. Otherwise, we affirm the judgment of the Trial Court.
Nancy Krider Corley, Nashville, Tennessee, for the appellant, W.F.A., Jr.
Joseph Y. Longmire, Jr., Hendersonville, Tennessee, for the appellees, L.H.M., and S.W.M.
Judge: COTTRELL
Mother and Stepfather filed petition seeking to terminate biological Father's parental rights and to permit Stepfather to adopt Child. Trial court found Father had abandoned Child by failing to visit or support Child in the four months preceding the petition's filing and that it was in Child's best interest to terminate Father's rights. Father appealed. We reverse the trial court's judgment terminating Father's rights because the evidence was not clear and convincing that it is in Child's best interest that Father's rights be terminated.
Court: TN Court of Criminal Appeals
Clarence E. Pridemore, Jr., Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Ronald Lynn Cook.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Tracy L. Bradshaw, Assistant Attorney General; Lori Phillips-Jones, District Attorney General; and Tracy Tipton Jenkins, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: THOMAS
The Defendant, Ronald Lynn Cook, pled guilty to six counts of forgery valued at less than $1,000, a Class E felony. See Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 39-14-105, -114. The trial court imposed an effective sentence of ten years to be served in confinement. In this appeal as of right, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred by imposing partial consecutive sentences. Following our review, we affirm the judgments of the trial court.
Derrick Hodge, Lexington, Kentucky, pro se.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Clarence E. Lutz, Senior Counsel; and William H. Cox, III, District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: OGLE
The petitioner, Derrick Hodge, filed in the Hamilton County Criminal Court a petition for post-conviction relief from his guilty plea to possession of less than .5 grams of cocaine with the intent to sell. The post-conviction court dismissed the petition because it was untimely. On appeal, the petitioner contends that the holdings in Missouri v. Frye, __ U.S. __, 132 S. Ct. 1399 (2012), and Lafler v. Cooper, __ U.S. __, 132 S. Ct. 1376 (2012), establish a new rule of law that is entitled to retroactive application to cases on collateral review. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.
Chad Davidson, Nashville, Tennessee, for the Appellant, Felix Tamayo.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Meredith Devault, Senior Counsel; Victor S. Johnson, III, District Attorney General; and Bret Gunn, Assistant District Attorney General, for the Appellee, State of Tennessee.
Judge: WEDEMEYER
The Petitioner, Felix Tamayo, pled guilty to five counts of aggravated robbery and agreed to allow the trial court to determine the length and manner of service of his sentence. After a sentencing hearing, the trial court imposed consecutive twelve-year sentences for a total effective sentence of sixty years. On appeal, this Court affirmed the Petitioner's sentence. State v. Felix Tamayo, No. M2010-00800-CCA-R3-CD, 2011 WL 1876315, at *1 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, May. 16, 2011), perm. app. denied (Tenn. Sept. 21, 2011). The Petitioner timely filed a petition seeking post-conviction relief on the basis that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered, which the post-conviction court denied after a hearing. The Petitioner appeals the post-conviction court's denial, maintaining that his guilty pleas were not knowingly and voluntarily entered because he was not advised that he could receive consecutive sentencing. After a thorough review of the record, the briefs, and relevant authorities, we affirm the post-conviction court's judgment.
J. Liddell Kirk, Knoxville, Tennessee, for the appellant, Demetrius Wynn.
Robert E. Cooper, Jr., Attorney General and Reporter; Clarence E. Lutz, Senior Counsel; Randall E. Nichols, District Attorney General; and Philip H. Morton, Assistant District Attorney General, for the appellee, State of Tennessee.
The petitioner, Demetrius Wynn, filed in the Knox County Criminal Court a petition for postconviction relief from his guilty plea to possession of less than .5 grams of cocaine with the intent to sell. He alleged that his trial counsel was ineffective and that his guilty plea was not knowingly and voluntarily entered. The post-conviction court denied relief, and the petitioner appeals. Upon review, we affirm the judgment of the post-conviction court.

According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, lawmakers in Georgia say they have instructed state Attorney General Sam Olens to file suit in the U.S. Supreme Court if Tennessee doesn't agree to give up 1.5 square miles near Dade County so a pipeline could be bult to pump up to 1 billion gallons of water a day from Nickajack Lake. Georgia legislators say Tennessee can have 66.5 square miles of land — and its 30,817 residents — that they claim a surveyor misdrew when creating state lines almost 200 years ago. The ongoing debate was covered in a 2008 issue of the Tennessee Bar Journal.
State. Sen. Mike Bell said during hearings yesterday that he would delay consideration of Senate Bill 2566 until at least next year, saying that there was no need for the measure immediately. Dubbed "Turn the Gays Away" by opponents, the bill would have let cake makers, photographers and other vendors refuse to work on same-sex ceremonies, even if courts strike down the state's constitutional ban on gay marriage. Similar bills were struck down this week in Kansas and Idaho. The Tennessean has more.

Proposed line could impact businesses in the south levy district
The Quincy City Council rejected a resolution to allow Ameren Transmission to install a primary route line in the South Quincy Industrial area at Monday night's meeting.
The proposed route line would cut through the south levy district industrial park and could impact the future development of Kohl Wholesale and other potential businesses.
Richard M. Ehrhart with Kohl Wholesale opposed the Ameren route location.
"The land is intended to be used for additional expansion and 1/3 of the parcel would be unusable if the line would be installed," said Ehrhart. "This could hurt business plans and other development land in the area."
The Council supports an alternative route proposed by the Great River Economic Development Foundation.
"I hope that the Illinois commerce Commission will take our resolution into consideration. The resolution basically takes the transmission line considerably south of where it is proposed now," said Quincy Mayor John Spring. "Currently, it's being proposed right about on the city limits in the industrial park. The resolution would take it at least another half of mile south which then shouldn't create any kind of impact for us with future or existing businesses."
In other business, Council approved a plan to change the City's Revolving Loan fund to allow the city to fund grants for economic development projects. Quincy Director of Planning Chuck Bevelheimer said the two funds each have more than $1 million.

House Republicans believe Wayne States contract was signed simply as a way to avoid right-to-work laws set to go into effect next week. The controversial law makes it illegal to require financial support of a union as a condition of employment, but contracts in effect on March 27 won't be affected until they expire. / Paul Sancya/Associated Press
Republicans in the state House took a hard financial slap at two Michigan universities Tuesday morning, passing a funding bill through a subcommittee that would strip a total of $74.8 million in state aid from Wayne State University and the three University of Michigan campuses.
The move is in retaliation for the universities agreeing to labor contracts that were seen by Republican lawmakers as an end run around the state's new right-to-work law.
The cuts, if passed into law by the full Legislature, would likely require a tuition increase for Wayne State students, WSU spokesman Matt Lockwood said.
Editorial: GOP lawmakers show insulting hypocrisy over Wayne State contract
U-M would lose $47.3 million and WSU would lose $27.5 million.
The bill, passed by the House higher education appropriations subcommittee on a straight party-line vote, holds out 15% of a universitys performance funding to only those universities who did not sign or renew union contract between Dec. 10, 2012 and March 28, 2013, that did not generate at 10% savings. It now heads to the full appropriations committee.
Republicans are targeting WSU, which signed an eight-year agreement with its faculty union. The WSU Board of Governors, which is heavily Democratic, will vote Wednesday on the contract.
Also in the crosshairs is U-M, which has a tentative agreement with its lecturers union. That contract covers U-M Ann Arbor, U-M Flint and U-M Dearborn.
House Republicans believe WSUs contract was signed simply as a way to avoid right-to-work laws set to go into effect next week. The controversial law makes it illegal to require financial support of a union as a condition of employment, but contracts in effect on March 27 won't be affected until they expire.
Under the right-to-work law, employees have the right to opt out of unions and not pay dues. But under the new WSU faculty contract, that would not be possible for the next eight years; faculty members would have to either join the union, pay a service fee, contribute to a university scholarship fund, or opt to have the university withhold 2 days pay.
I think weve sent a serious message here, said Rep. Al Pscholka, R-Stevensville, the subcommittees chairman. This has to do with trying to circumvent state law. An eight-year contract doesnt stand up for taxpayers. Its very blatant whats going on here.
Without the penalty, WSU would get $184 million next year in state aid. U-M woud get $250 million.
WSU administrators decried the move.
This legislation is punishment in reaction to an eight-year contract that was concluded as part of the normal negotiations process, and well within the legal requirements of Right to Work, spokesman Matt Lockwood said in a statement. We are stunned and saddened that the Legislature would take such measures in reaction to a contract that is both good for the university and perfectly legal. This is a case of legislators questioning the judgment of people who understand and are responsible for the best interests of the uiversity.
While some legislators may feel satisfied, a cut of this magnitude will harm not only the university, but the people and community it serves, and most importantly, our students. There is no magic to university budgeting; when appropriations decrease this severely, a university cannot cut its way to a balanced budget. We will have no choice but to raise tuition.
The reaction was more muted at U-M. Cynthia Wilbanks, the universitys vice president for government relations, would not comment directly on the bill, but said there was a lot of work still to do on it and the university hoped the bill at the end of the legislative process looked different than it currently does.
Democrats on the subcommittee tried to get the contract punishment lifted, but failed on party-line votes several times.
How does one circumvent a bill that isnt in effect? asked Rep. Sean McCann, D-Kalamazoo.
His colleague, state Rep. Sam Singh, D-East Lansing, also fought against it. Today, we decided to move politics ahead about good policy, he said. I do not believe we should harm the students of these institutions because of the political manuerving.
Republicans, however, said all they were doing was protecting students from the unions politics.
The bill overall, proposes a 2.2% increase in higher education funding. It also requires universities to keep tuition raises under 3% for next year in order to qualify for a portion of the funds.
The House Appropriations subcommittee for School Aid passed similar language in the budget passed on Tuesday, cutting performance funding for K-12 public schools that passed long term contracts before right-to-work legislation takes effect March 28.
If the districts are able to prove the contracts realize a 10% savings in things like wages, benefits and pensions, the performance funding will stand.
So far, the Warren and Taylor public school districts have passed contracts in recent weeks.
State Rep. Brandon Dillon, D-Grand Rapids, objected to the language saying Its obvious this isnt about furthering education, its about continuing an ideological, divisive debate. They just want to keep pounding the issue over and over.
But state Rep. Bill Rogers, R-Brighton, said leadership in the state House wanted the language included in the bill and would keep districts in check when negotiating new contracts.
Weve got a lot of schools that are having financial difficulty, he said. And were trying to make sure and encourage that some of the boards dont go overboard and promise things they cant afford.
The districts will have to go to a certified public accountant to ensure that the contracts will result in a 10% savings to the district. That will then be turned over to the state Department of Education for verification.
The budgets have to go to the full Appropriations committee in the state House and Senate.
The Warren Consolidated School district, which started negotiating a new contract long before the right-to-work bill passed the Legislature last year, has not applied for or received performance-based funding, said school district spokesman Bob Freehan. So they will not suffer any loss of state funding because of the 8-year contract passed earlier this month.

Army Worms Destroy Zambian Farms and Threaten Food Stocks
The army worms have destroyed 80 per cent of crops in three farm blocs in Nyimba District.
In Zambia, Christmas did not come with the usual fanfare because of a deadly Army worm invasion which has practically razed farmers' crops to bare grounds. The insect armies travel in large numbers and eat heavily during the night and hide in the soil during the day.
To most worried farmers, the army worm invasion has already spelt doom in the populations that depend solely on farming for livelihood. The invaders eat any greenery they come across and cannot be handled manually by the farmers. Already, some spraying has began and we only hope that situations will be eventually arrested but there is no hope for the damage already done as most farmers will have to start replanting the fields eaten up by the army worms afresh.
The Zambia National Farmers Union has urged the Government to invest more in research, pest surveillance and extension services in order to detect army worms and other outbreaks that could compromise the country's food security.

1926-07-03 Sammy Mandell w pts 10 Rocky Kansas, Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA - NY/NBA/GB
1926-07-03 Sammy Mandell w pts 10 Rocky Kansas, Comiskey Park, Chicago, Illinois, USA - USA/GB. Referee: Phil Collins. The challenger, Mandell (135), who came to the ring with 98 fights under his belt and just three losses, was seen as a tough, fast-punching fighter who relied on speed rather than power and knew his way round the ring. In what was the first legalised championship fight in Chicago for 25 years, Mandell started fast, landing hard lefts and rights to the champion's head before settling into a countering routine, while picking his punches as those of Kansas (135) dropped short. Even in the clinches, which was one of his strong points, Kansas was hammered with heavy blows to the body and amidst wild celebrations 30,000 fans roared Mandell to the final bell and the referee's decision.
At their convention in July the IBU finally agreed to recognise Mandell as champion.
Although Mandell's next go, a ten-round press decision over Joe Jawson on 8 October at Harlem Park Auditorium, Rockford, Illinois, was reported in the Rockford Republican as being at 135lbs in the lead up to the fight there was nothing to suggest that the title was involved, merely being a comeback after injury.
Also, while a ten-round no-decision contest against Clausine Vincent at the Oklahoma City Coliseum, Oklahoma on 29 October was shown as being billed for the title in the Daily Oklahoman no weights were ever reported. For the record, Mandell dropped Vincent twice and easily outboxed him for the newspaper decision.
Early in 1927, with Mandell seen by many as a 'pacifist runner' who would not be easy to prise from his title unless being forced out and having passed the every six-month defence ruling, there were many championship fights being mooted in the press. On 7 March the promoter, Humbert Fugazy, announced that he had signed up Mandell to meet his leading challenger, Sid Terris, sometime in the summer, while Mandell stated that he was not frightened of any opponent and would defend against any one of the top men who put down a suitable guarantee.
A 12-round no-decision fight on 4 April against the 136¾lbs Jackie Fields at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, California, which resulted in a press draw, was earlier reported as involving the title but was seen as having no credibility when the latter came in above the championship weight.
Mandell's next outing was a ten-round no-decision affair against Johnny Valdez at The Armory, Tucson, Arizona on 11 April, and although it was reported to be a championship match at 135lbs in the Tucson Daily Citizen, no weights could be found and it is almost certain that the title was not involved as no other fights are recorded for the loser. Mandell had too much speed and punching power for the limited Valdez and knocked him out in the second round.
Following this, Mandell next took on the unfortunate Steve Adams (w co 2 at the Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas) on 1 June 1927 in a fight that made headlines at the time for all the wrong reasons when Adams collapsed in the second round before being pronounced dead in the ring. After a first round in which Mandell showered his rival with light blows, the only punch of any significance thrown by Mandell in the second session was a left jab to the stomach, immediately following a clinch, which sent Adams down. Despite the attending doctor expressing that, in his opinion, the unfortunate Adams had died from a heart attack, an autopsy later revealed that he had suffered a broken neck, probably caused when he fell into the ropes before crumpling to the floor. Although the New York Times report of the fight stated that both men weighed in at 135lbs, further research taken from the medical examination showed Mandell and Adams weighing 138 and 136lbs, respectively, on the morning of the fight.
Immediately after the Adams contest it was announced by the promoter, Floyd Fitzsimmons, that Mandell would be making his first defence for him against Phil McGraw in July.

Soundcard digital pathways?, If you skip the DAC are they 'perfect'?

I was wondering,
If you use a soundcard's digital out and tell it not to equalize/eax/otherprocessing, is the digital quality 'perfect'?
Case in point I have a professional DSP hooked up to my SB audigy's digital out. If I were to upgrade the audigy (not that I have the $$$ but for argument's sake ), would I get any improvement in the sound quality of my mpc audio playback?
Basically I hear some 'stories' from people that say 'yes' to the last question but I find it hard to believe that the digital ".wav" data from winamp would get distorted by the sound card that's hooked up to it. provided of course I don't use the onboard DAC's or some hardware DSP feature like resampling or spatialisation crap, but Im telling my computer to have all EQ's off and just play back the file.
Anyone know the answer here?

Zen Codeworks builds solutions for businesses. That solution could be many things. It could be a web site, or a web application for the public or internal intranet, or a mobile app for iPhone or Android, or perhaps some server software. Or it could be (and often is) a combination of many of the above.
Modern business software is rarely stand alone anymore. Systems need to be connected, to share data, and to flow into one another to make your business efficient, effective and profitable.
At Zen Codeworks we don't just write code. We solve real problems, for real businesses.
Services include:
Agile Development
Developing software using agile methods enables us to keep control over deliverables, whilst still remaining flexible to change. Creating software in an iterative way allows us and our clients to have transparency into the development process, so that there won't be any nasty surprises at the end of the project. Issues can be picked up quickly, and changes made without greatly impacting the project.
We see agile development as a guide, rather than a stick to be beaten with. We take the best parts of the various agile methodologies like Scrum and XP, and combine them to make something that works in the real world, for real projects.
Modular Approach
We build backend systems so that they can be re-used across the various devices or other systems in your business. So we would build the logic and database layer first, and then hook in the presentation layer from desktop, web or mobile devices.
This has the benefit of being very flexible - further devices can be added after the initial development, and cost effective into the future, as this system can be used by other systems you have developed without having to 're-invent the wheel' for each new development. This means no lock in to our system.
We have a small core team of developers that can work on smaller projects. We then build a team from our network of developers to staff larger projects as required.
We are completely virtual, which means developers can work from anywhere. This gives us the advantage that we can hire the best talent regardless of their location. Skype, email and other collaborative technologies keeps us all connected, and everyone works in ways that are most productive for them.

I was traveling in a 30 ft RV from Gatlinburg TN back to Cleveland OH when my serpentine belt disintegrated on I-75, just north of Knoxville. I don't know if anyone has ever tried to find a Mechanic on a Sunday afternoon in Tennessee, but I can tell you it's not going to happen.
To compound matters, Not only was I to start my new job the next day but a dear friend had passed and the funeral service was to be held the next day as well. I was sitting on the side of the road, dead in the water.
AAA was courteous as usual but was not having any better luck at finding assistance than I was. In fact, they were having trouble finding a Tow Company with a wrecker big enough to tow my Rig.
After about 15 calls and no luck, I chanced upon Reasonable Mobile Mechanic. Johnny, the owner, answered the call and said that he could help. He said that he could be to my location in 20 minutes and He was.
Upon his arrival I had my doubts about the success of a road side repair. My concerns were to be unfounded. Not only was he courteous and professional but had a genuine concern for the safety of my family and getting us home.
He made the repair right there on the side of the road, in a timely manner and did not gouge me on the price when he certainly had the opportunity to take advantage of me under the circumstances.
I have nothing but praise and respect for Johnny McNeely and his Company "Reasonable Mobile Mechanic". I hope that I never need his services again but would not hesitate if the need were to arise.
If stranded anywhere near the Knoxville Tennessee vicinity, do yourself a favor and call him. He will come to you and will probably charge you less than a Dealership would.
Thank You Johnny

Johnny from Reasonable Mobile Mechanic sold my daughter a car, then kept the car several weeks to make sure it was in good running condition for her. We were grateful he wanted to make sure it was safe for her. Until the engine blew 10 minutes after she picked the car up from him. He came back and picked up the car, promising to make things right. It's been several months, and he hasn't returned the car or the money, and won't return any phone calls. At this point, I wouldn't trust this man to change the tire on my bike, much less work on my car.

Microsoft to challenge iPhone on price
updated 12:20 pm EDT, Thu March 19, 2009
MS on Win Mobile and Yahoo
Microsoft chief Steve Ballmer in an interview Thursday revealed the company's current approach to competing with rivals, particularly Apple. The executive noted he believes that Apple may have difficulties as smartphones gain market share as the iPhone is relatively expensive to make. Where Ballmer estimated that an iPhone costs about $500 before factoring in carrier subsidies, he saw the "sweet spot" as being phones that have a pure cost between $150 and $200, which are more likely to include Windows Mobile.
Touchscreens are considered important by Ballmer, though he downplayed the iPhone's emphasis on its premium capacitive screen as a possible liability versus the cheaper, resistive screens that are required on Windows Mobile handsets with touch input.
"We want to provide vendors with ability to make Windows phones up and down the price scale," he said. "The way they do [touch] on the iPhone is not an inexpensive component. We'll do it in a way that you can afford to do it on most phones."
The early Microsoft employee also clarified the role of his firm's upcoming retail stores and said they will be more of a "showcase" for Microsoft's products rather than a direct source for a large portion of its product sales, which will still go to third-party retailers. "Apple actually sells about half of all Apple machines through its stores or online," he said. "We're not going to do that for PCs."
Ballmer also reiterated that his company is still open to doing a search deal with Yahoo and said that he's had only one opportunity to talk to new Yahoo chief Carol Bartz since she took her position in January. If any deal is to take place, a conversation will happen "when she's ready" rather than under pressure from either company.

No, this is not Kyle Richards' Halloween costume (but it could be).
Underneath that somewhat eerie-looking mask is the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star going through an interesting skin treatment at Carina Skin Care that includes "getting your skin electrified" to produce "tighter and beautiful skin."
Yes, you read that correctly.
The reality star tweeted a photo during her intense facial and also wrote, "Oh my prior tweet didn't go through....thinking to ask @Carinasfacial to borrow that 'mask' for Halloween :)"
Hey, it might look kinda scary now, but we all know that whatever Kyle is doing in the beauty department is working.

Every year I look forward to reading the results of the wheelbarrow races because it's such a positive article. I'd like to congratulate Dylan and Makenzie Snyder on their respective wins in the men's and women's championship races.
However, I would like to admonish the Kiwanis Club for the inequitable prize money distributed to these two champions. It seems Dylan's prize was $1,000, a belt buckle, and his name on the historic trophy, but Makenzie only "picked up a $500 check" from Kiwanis. Did I miss something here? Did Dylan work harder for his win than Makenzie for hers?
I'm aware the courses are slightly different for obvious reasons, but I don't think anyone worked any more or less for their win. With all the discussion in the news about women making less money for doing the same job, I feel this is a small, but blatant example of the problem women face. Am I the only one who reads this and cares? What kind of message does this send to our young women? Should they just be happy for getting half of what their male counterparts get for the same work and go on being silent?
If the Kiwanis won't make it right maybe another club will.

There are a number of things that drive me a little nutty each New Year. One of them is the announcement of all the lists of the top whatevers from the previous year.
Don't you wonder who decides the best and the worst items to include? Apparently they are not from Southeastern Ohio. Am I the only person on the planet who never heard one of the top 10 new words of 2012?
"Zhoosh" is one of the latest and greatest word additions to the Collins Dictionary's New Words of 2012. So if I want to make something more attractive or lively I say I will zhoosh it up. I guess gussy-up is so three generations ago. ...

Hello everyone.I'm new to the forum.
Due to the constant pain getting worse thought i needed to get some feedback from other people suffering my same problems.
I had a discectomy about six weeks ago L/5 to relieve back pain and occasional siatica pain shooting down my left leg.I felt great after a week!Saw my Dr and he was amazed.So with the staples still in i would walk, do minor stuff and i think after 2 weeks i started riding my motorcycle which was a lot more comfortable than my car.
I started to feel a little pain soon after that but knew it was normal due to muscle tissue regeneration.I had directions to not have sexual intercourse till 2 weeks after surgery and i did so.
By week 3 i started having sex with my girl and from then the pain just degenerated more and more till i can barely walk and feel pain in my core where the disc is and sharp pain in all areas around it like behind my stomach my butt and such but only when i stand and walk.I have no pain when laying down still.Coughing and sneezing are terrible sharp "stabbing" like pain!
I saw my doctor to have the staples removed,but he was on vacation so he left a temp or whatever it's called and she removed the staples and said the pain was normal.
Not convinced i made another appointment when my Dr was back in at week 4 and he stated that i "over did it" prescribed lyrica and more percocet and said to totally rest and the pain will get better in a few weeks.
I cannot sleep in my bed cause i wake up in TERRIBLE pain so i've been sleeping and practicly living on my sofa for week 5 and 6 and still feel terrible pain when i get up and walk.When i lay back down from walking i have a pulsating pain in the core of my lower back and then it calms down and i'm fine again.
I tried to describe my pain as good as possible and really looking forward to hear if you guys and gals have/had the same problems i am having and if it's "normal" cause i'm really starting to get worried here

Hello my friends. I hope you are having a great day. I have been busy busy busy, but here I am to show a card I made last week and I forgot to post. I used the Fall to Lay Out Sketch from Clean & Simple Blog . I have made few Christmas cards, I hope I can make more, so I am not in a hurry when the Season comes. For my card I used Soft Suede, Naturals CS. The paper is from SEI. The image is from smARTworks Wreath Kit, I stamped it using clear embossing pad and then heat embossed it with Gold e.p. and added some mini gold Rhinestones. The ribbon was stamped in Real Red. I added a thin Red Ribbon. The sentiment is from Peace Tree Set
I hope you like it.
Have a great day!!

text: This performance poem, written and delivered by regional bard Richard Hague and supported solidly by Michael Henson on guitar is, even by Fringe standards, a bare-bones affair. And that is as it should be. The two men take the small stage at the Coffee Emporium and, for 75 minutes, trade off in verse and song, evoking what it means to be a man devoted deeply to drink.

Socar Will Share Its Stake in Tanap With Gas Partners Only
State Oil Co. of Azerbaijan said it will share its stake in the Trans-Anatolia natural-gas pipeline project, or Tanap, only with companies involved in gas projects in the Caspian Sea nation.
"Only companies participating in gas contracts in Azerbaijan will get a share of Tanap," Rovnaq Abdullayev, president of the Baku-based company also known as Socar, told reporters in the Azeri capital today.
Abdullayev said his company will soon decide which companies will get some of Socar's 80 percent stake in the pipeline project, estimated to cost $7 billion. The remaining 20 percent is held by Turkey's state pipeline company Boru Hatlari Ile Petrol Tasima AS, or Botas.
The Socar president earlier said partners in the Shah Deniz project, including BP Plc, Total SA and Statoil ASA, have shown interest in joning Tanap.
Azerbaijan and Turkey agreed on June 26 to build the 2,000-kilometer (1,420-mile) pipeline to ship Azeri gas to the European Union through Turkey.
Tanap will be linked up with either the Nabucco West link or the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, or TAP, to deliver the fuel to the EU from the Turkish border.
The BP-led Shah Deniz group will choose between the two links in May 2013, Abdullayev said earlier this month.

By MARCELLA PEYRE-FERRY
For 21st Century Media
OXFORD - oxford Borough Council is moving forward to advertise a new ordinance that will increase parking fines and keep meters working longer.
The new ordinance proposes increasing the enforcement hours for the parking meters in the downtown so that motorists will have to put coins in the meters from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Parking violations fines will increase from the present $10 to $15. Those who do not pay their citation within 10 days will receive an additional $25 fine bringing the total to $40 plus court costs.
�The purpose of this was to be able to maintain enforcement. That enforcement would provide the business that are located downtown the opportunity to maintain patrons,� council member Jamie Cole said. He went on to explain that more businesses in Oxford are showing an interest in extending their hours into the evening. Business owners want to keep vehicles moving in and out of parking spots so that there will be spaces available for customers.
To enforce the longer hours, the borough plans to add an additional parking meter attendant to the borough staff.
In other business, council made three reappointments to the Oxford Borough Planning Commission. Linnea Raffaele, M. Walter Saranetz and Oxford Mayor Geoff Henry were each appointed to serve additional terms. The Council also accepted the resignation of Codes Enforcement Officer George Gus.
The borough council will hold three meetings in January, the firs a reorganizational meeting on Mon. Jan. 6, followed by their regular meetings on the second and third Mondays of the month. Council also discussed the possible addition of a brief meeting on Dec. 30 if needed.

Have you ever thought that, for emergency alerts to be distributed as quickly as possible, they should be sent to cell phones? The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), along with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the wireless industry, is working to make that possible.
CMAS (also known as Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) or Personal Localized Alerting Network (PLAN)) is a new public safety system that allows customers who own an enabled mobile device to receive geographically-targeted, text-like messages alerting them of imminent threats to safety in their area. The new technology ensures that emergency alerts will not get stuck in highly congested user areas, which can happen with standard mobile voice and texting services. CMAS was established pursuant to the Warning, Alert and Response Network (WARN) Act.
CMAS enables government officials to target emergency alerts to specific geographic areas through cell towers (e.g. lower Manhattan), which pushes the information to dedicated receivers in CMAS-enabled mobile devices.
CMAS complements the existing Emergency Alert System (EAS) which is implemented by the FCC and FEMA at the federal level through broadcasters and other media service providers.
Wireless companies volunteer to participate in CMAS. CMAS is the result of a unique public/private partnership between the FCC, FEMA and the wireless industry with the singular objective of enhanced public safety.
Participating wireless carriers were required to deploy CMAS by April 7, 2012.
Authorized national, state or local government officials send alerts regarding public safety emergencies, such as a tornado or a terrorist threat to CMAS.
CMAS authenticates the alert, verifies that the sender is authorized and sends it to participating wireless carriers.
Participating wireless carriers push the alerts from cell towers to mobile devices in the affected area. The alerts appear like text messages on mobile devices.
Alerts are geographically targeted, so a customer living in New York would not receive a threat if they happen to be in Chicago when the alert is sent. Similarly, someone visiting New York from Chicago on that same day would receive the alert. This requires a CMAS enabled mobile device and participation by the wireless provider in CMAS.
Alerts are free. Customers do not pay to receive CMAS alerts.
Customers of participating carriers are automatically signed up. CMAS allows government officials to send emergency alerts to all subscribers with CMAS-capable devices if their wireless carrier participates in the program. Consumers do not need to sign up for this service.
Alerts from CMAS cover only critical emergency alerts. Consumers will receive only three types of alerts:
Participating carriers may allow subscribers to block all but Presidential alerts.
A CMAS alert will be accompanied by a unique attention signal and vibration, which is particularly helpful to people with hearing or vision-related disabilities.
Yes. Consumers with prepaid phones can receive CMAS alerts as long as their provider has decided to participate in CMAS and the customer has a CMAS-enabled device. Such consumers will receive CMAS alerts just as customers with postpaid, monthly service will.
No. CMAS is not designed to – and does not – track the location of anyone receiving a CMAS alert.
No. CMAS alerts are transmitted using a new technology that is separate and different from voice calls and SMS text messages. This new technology ensures that emergency alerts will not get stuck in highly congested user areas, which can happen with standard mobile voice and texting services.
Some phones may require only software upgrades to receive alerts, while in other cases a subscriber may need to purchase a new CMAS-capable device. Consumers should check with their wireless carrier regarding the availability of CMAS-capable handsets.
Participation in CMAS by wireless carriers is voluntary. Some carriers will offer CMAS over all or parts of their service areas or over all or only some of their wireless devices. Other carriers may not offer CMAS at all. Consumers should check with their wireless carriers to determine the extent to which they are offering CMAS.
Partially. Participating wireless carriers may offer subscribers with CMAS-capable handsets the ability to block alerts involving imminent threats to safety of life and/or AMBER Alerts; however, consumers cannot block emergency alerts issued by the President.
In passing the WARN Act, Congress allowed participating carriers to offer subscribers the capability to block all CMAS alerts except those issued by the President.
The FCC requires all wireless carriers that do not participate in CMAS to notify customers. Consumers should check with their wireless carriers to determine the extent to which they are offering CMAS.
Some participating carriers are offering CMAS on some, but not all, of their mobile devices. Consumers should check with their wireless carriers to find out if their cell phone in CMAS-capable.
Information about CMAS-capable handsets can also be found at CTIA.org.
Participating wireless carriers are required under FCC rules to conduct periodic testing of their CMAS infrastructure. As part of their test, some participating carriers may choose (but are not required) to send test alerts to CMAS-enabled handsets. Consumers with questions about these test messages should contact their wireless carriers.
