The other configuration of multiple-negative camera I've built is the "Falling Plate" design, of which I've built three versions. Here are some details on one of these models:
Front view:
Detail of shutter mechanism, shown open. The lower aluminum sleeve that contains the sliding shutter is epoxied to the front of the camera using JB Weld epoxy. The upper brass support for the shutter pull rod is attached using machine screws. The shutter pull knob -- an acorn nut -- is also the top front viewing dot:
Rear view of camera, access lid closed and attached via thumb screws. The black tape on the corners of the rear lid are pieces of gaffer's tape. They've been attached because the sheet of aluminum forming the lid are delaminating from the inner wooden frame of the lid. The entire camera's aluminum skin is JB Welded to the inner wooden space frame, but in the case of the lid it is coming loose in places. In the future, perhaps an inner frame made from square brass tubes (they can be soldered together) instead of wood, and an outer skin made from either sheet brass or galvanized steel (either of which can be soldered, instead of glued) :
Inside view. The camera is constructed around a space frame made from 1/4" thick square hardwood sticks. The thickness of the frame permits mechanisms, like the sliding film changing pin's light trap, to be built into the walls of the camera. Also notice the two parallel sticks in the middle bottom of the floor of the camera; they were intended to hold the tripod nut, but the flexibility of the sheet metal skin caused the whole camera to be very wiggly upon the tripod. Hence the reason why I've since bolted the floor of the camera securely to the beefy wooden tilting support base. Screws securing the camera to the base can be seen in the bottom corners:
Film changing knob. Of course, you can't see the interior light trap mechanism permitting the knob to be slit back and forth; it's really just a 1/8" model plywood plate, sliding inside the 1/4" thickness of the walls of the box (inside a light-tight enclosure with slots for the screws to protrude), with a 6/32 machine screw penetrating from the outer knob to the inner pin:
The ledge upon which the film plates sit; and the front lip (about 1/4" high) which prevents the front plate from prematurely falling off and jamming the mechanism. The distance between the top edge of the film plates and the ceiling of the camera needs to be less than this 1/4" high lip, to that when the camera is jiggled the front film plate won't jump over the lip and jam the works:
Demonstration of a fallen film plate. The camera is tilted forward ~ 45 degrees, then the changing knob is slid sideways. This camera's plates fall so quietly that you really need to listen carefully to hear them fall. Then upright the camera and slightly jiggle it back and forth, to ensure the fallen plate sits securely in the bottom of the camera.
You can also imagine that if the film plate doesn't fall properly, or if the camera is subsequently upended or severely manhandled, the fallen plates can become upset and block the view of the pinhole.
It may not be entirely obvious, but the notches in the top of the plates # 1-8 alternate right, left, right, left, etc. So the changing knob is alternately slid right and then back left to drop subsequent plates. There's space for more than 8 plates, BTW, but I haven't made more:
Some details of the bottom support plate, an addition to this camera's original design. As indicated earlier, the bottom skin of the camera flexes too much to permit a secure mount atop a tripod, especially in the wind, hence the addition of this bulky 3/4" thick plywood double-plate hinging support.
This was originally intended to be used with my homemade tripods, which have a cable loop on the legs permitting the head to be levelled with the horizon, but lacked the ability to tilt the camera. Since most landscape images require the camera to be tilted downward, the mounting plate hinges from the front. A regular brass door hinge is used (see front view of camera, first image in this series.)
The perforated aluminum strips provide for a variable tilt position, using thumb screws.
The additional viewing dots, just markings with ink, were provided when I enlarged the original 5"X8" format to 6"x9.5". These viewing dots are surprisingly accurate in framing one's perspective:
The camera remains very functional, despite several years of severe abuse out in the badlands of New Mexico.
Here's an example, taken atop the Sandstone Overlook in the El Malpais National Monument in western New Mexico. Preflashed grade 2 paper negative:

Mesa County law enforcement has a new communication tool. They're calling it 911 on Wheels.
It's designed to provide emergency communications during a natural disaster or a terrorist attack. The high tech van cost $600, and is equipped with satellite phones and its own weather station.
The van has a mast with a camera on top, to give them a bird's eye view of emergency situations.
Mesa County says they'll use the van at Country Jam next weekend.

Jeff Gordon shifts gears
The NASCAR legend looks in his rear-view mirror
Updated: October 8, 2010, 10:55 AM ETBy Ryan McGee | ESPN The Magazine
With daughter Ella in his arms, Jeff Gordon stands by his Chevy on the Atlanta Motor Speedway grid, flashing that steely-eyed smile. "Pretty cool, huh?" he says to his 3-year-old, about the 24 car's special paint scheme, the one she designed. Then the 38-year-old vet does something rare for him. He gets reflective.
Gordon is typically future-focused, politely rerouting questions about his 82 wins and four Cup titles to talk about the next ones. But just before his 606th career start ...

1. Re: Cyberscope errorslon Oct 22, 2013 1:34 PM (in response to rcg921)
I have seen errors returned by the DHS CyberScope upload site when there were enclave name mismatches. Check the XML file that was outputted and see if the "names" are correct or not. If not, it is best to check the MVM custom report setup that is being used as well as check to see if the enclave has been renamed or otherwise modified name-wise in the CyberScope DHS site. Also if you are uploading the file to the staging site, it might be that the enclave was never fully created there and only resides on the production site.
I have also seen similar errors to the CVE error in files created by BigFix. We would go into the XML file and manually modify the file if a re-run of the file would not successfully upload. For some reason the file repeated a cpe type and when we attempted to upload, the CyberScope site would bark with a line number to look at.
<ai:CPE>cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_server_2008:r2:sp1cpe:/o:microsoft:windows_serv er_2008:r2:sp1</ai:CPE>
So look at the line number and if there is screwiness, it is best to talk to McAfee support. Good luck.

Rousseff, Blatter jeered at WC finalComment on this story
Rio de Janeiro - Brazil President Dilma Rousseff and Fifa President Sepp Blatter have been jeered and whistled by spectators before they presented the trophy at the World Cup final.
Whistling noises were heard from the stands at the Maracana Stadium when they were shown on giant screens after Germany's 1-0 win over Argentina.
Rousseff and Blatter jointly handed over the trophy to Germany captain Philipp Lahm.
The Brazil president attended just her second match of the tournament and was subjected to an insulting chant by spectators as the trophy was presented.
At the 18 World Cup matches Blatter has attended, he was rarely shown on giant screens inside stadiums.
Last year, Blatter and Rousseff were jeered while he made a speech at the opening ceremony for the Confederations Cup in Brasilia.

28mm / 36mm Triple Glazing
up to 60% more efficient than C-Rated – 40% more efficient than A-Rated
If you demand a truly exceptional glazing performance, Adwalton triple glazing simply stands apart. Now you can specify superior thermal insulation and noise reduction in any frame of your choice. Our advanced triple-glazed units are engineered to give you a comfortable, secure, quiet, energy efficient home.
With home heating bills continuing to rise, interest in energy saving home improvement products is increasing and combined with the advancement of glazing technology, Triple Glazing is becoming an increasingly popular option for many homeowners.
Over a 20 year period, triple glazing a typical home could result in energy savings with over £14,000 and 94 tonnes of CO 2 .
Triple glazing provides higher energy performance and acoustic, noise reduction. Adwalton PVCu triple glazed windows and doors also have additional benefits which are detailed below.
For more information, why not download our 36mm Triple Glazing brochure, just visit the brochure page and submit your details.
36mm Triple Glazing
0.9 U-Value on Triple Glazing
The Benefits of Triple Glazing
Firstly, the glass unit is made up of 3 (triple) layers of 4mm glass, these are seperated by 12mm cavities that are filled with 95% Argon Gas. The Argon Gas is used as it is denser than air and as a result provides a more effective cold barrier between the panes. All this is then surrounded with 2 layers of 'warm edge' spacers which seal the glass together. The benefits of the warm edge spacer is that it too provides a cold bridge barrier which ensures the inner pane of glass is warmer than the outside. The overall thickness of the Adwalton triple glazed units are 36mm.
Energy performance
Adwalton triple glazing uses Pilkington glass which ensures you have the very best in glass technology and performance. Triple glazing will provide up to 40% greater thermal efficency than a standard 'A' Rated double glazed unit, and 60% more than a 'C' Rated double glazed unit.
Therefore, by investing in PVCu triple glazing for your replacement windows, you could reduce your home energy bills even further.
According to the GGF Energy Saving Calculator double glazed 'A' Rated windows will save you approximately £7,400 in energy bills and 23 tonnes of Carbon over 20 years, with triple glazing being at least 40% more efficient, the savings are going to be considerably higher.
Noise reduction
Wheather you live near a major road, under a flight path or near some vocal wildlife, noise pollution can be a cause of major disruption.
As well as 2 Argon Gas filled spaces sandwiching the extra glass pane, triple glazing features an additional 12mm cavity. The insulation coupled with our high performance warm edge spacer allows Adwalton triple glazed units to dramatically reduce external noise pollution.
Furthermore, all Adwalton windows and doors are supplied with our innovative and high performing Q-lon weatherseal. The Q-lon incorporates a foam core which not only allows for easier operation and closing forces but also absorbs noise, particularly when compared to ridgid weatherseal gaskets.
Thermal Construction
In addition to the triple glazing glass technology, all Adwalton windows are manufactured using composite reinforcements. These not only provide strength and ridgitity to aid security, but also improve the thermal performance of the frames, all designed to give you the best performing window system.

Thanks to craft beer company BrewDog, you can now look hobo-chic while drinking your beer. That's because the UK-based firm --co-owned by James Watt and Martin Dickie - has created a potent bottle of beer served inside an actual squirrel, weasel or hare carcass.
It's Wednesday afternoon, and I'm already thinking about the weekend!
I've had this song stuck in my head all day - which I don't think is a bad thing :)
Happy Wednesday!
Though she put on an impeccable show Wednesday night, America ultimately decided they didn't want to see Haley Reinhart in the next week's finals.
The 20-year-old Wheeling, IL, native was booted from 'American Idol' late Thursday night, leaving Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina to battle it out for the season 10 crown.
Check out these actual marriage proposals that really "impressed the ladies"!
How did your man propose to you?
'American Idol' season 10 is officially down to the final three. Over 72 million votes were cast this week, making it the highest top-four vote ever in the history of the show.
Unfortunately, even record-breaking numbers weren't enough to save James Durbin. The 22-year-old rocker was sent packing Thursday night, marking yet another surprise in an already surprise-heavy season.
You'd never guess that 15-year-old Hunter Davis was diagnosed with b cell lymphoblastic lymphoma non Hodgkins, only a year and a half ago, just by looking at him.
The towering teenager, who lists watching television and "doing nothing" as some of his favorite things, stopped by the Kicks studio with his parents, Marilyn and Cotton, to talk about their experience with the diagnosis and how St Jude Children's Hospital has helped them.
Did you catch the latest episode of the new NBC show, 'The Voice' on Tuesday night?
If you didn't, here's a quick recap of the duets each team had to perform, and videos of each performance. Which one was your favorite?
The interior decor at your local Golden Arches leaves a lot to be desired, but that won't be the case for much longer.
The fast food giant plans to drop roughly $1 billion to re-decorate its restaurants, replacing red-and-yellow plastic with faux-leather and harsh overhead lighting with something that creates more ambiance.
Blake Shelton's latest single, 'Honey Bee', debuted today on NBC's website.
The cute, playful video shows Shelton buying honey from a beautiful brunette's roadside stand -whom he's totally crushing on - until she's all out of honey. It's too bad Shelton's fiance, Miranda Lambert, isn't the cute girl selling homemade honey in the video!
What do you think of Taylor Swift's music video for her latest single, 'Mean'?
The song, which talks about bullying and gives the victims the power to follow their dreams, artistically displays that message with a series of vignettes. No matter how big or small the bullies are, all of them are just plain mean.
Watch the video below:
I think it would be so neat to own a piece of Hollywood history. The house is beautiful - however, I don't think I'd be able to survive the Chicago winters!
According to the Chicago Tribune, the house featured in the movie 'Home Alone' officially went on the market Thursday with an asking price of - wait for it - $2.4 million.
Among the features in this now-famous house: four bedrooms, endless storage space, multiple bathrooms and a sunroof. (Robbers and Talkboys are likely not included.)

Already hitting over seventy percent of the funding goal detailed on this Indiegogo project page, the Kinsa smart thermometer goes several steps beyond simply taking someone's temperature. Significantly different from the design of a traditional digital thermometer, there's no power source, digital display or processor located within the device. Instead, the Kinsa smart thermometer relies on an iOS smartphone to display information related to temperature and the patient's general health.
In order to take a temperature, the user must plug the Kinsa smart thermometer into the iPhone's headphone jack and launch the Kinsa application. The smartphone display will show the patient's temperature and launch into a general diagnosis tool. Users can select specific symptoms within the app to get an idea of possible treatment options. If the medical condition is escalating, the user can find a list of local urgent care facilities in the area as well as their doctor's contact information. The development team working on the Kinsa is also planning on adding a feature prior to launch that will allow users to send photos and videos to their doctor.
In addition, the Kinsa application provides a way for communities to connect and share news of illnesses in the area. For instance, parents at a specific school can create a private group and share information about diseases contracted by their children. If a child gets sick for any reason, this could help parents figure out the problem quickly and seek the appropriate treatment from their pediatrician. Within the application, users can setup specific profiles and track wellness data over time. This information could be very useful to a doctor since it provides a detailed symptom and illness history.
The developers have also added an opt-in feature that allows users to share information about their illness with the general community. Or course, all data is anonymous. However, users can see where there are specific outbreaks of common diseases like the flu. Within the application, users will see a map overlay of their area and different shading on the map will indicate various levels of reported symptoms and illnesses.
Beyond the United States, this type of technology could be vital for connecting communities within third-world countries. Doctors and other medical professionals working in those countries could track a disease like malaria almost immediately, thus helping prevent the continued spread of the disease. To achieve this level of information sharing, the Kinsa team plans on shipping at least ten million of the smart thermometers within the next few years.
While the iOS application will be available at launch, the team does plan on releasing an Android version of the application at a later date. At a base price of $25 for a single Kinsa smart thermometer, the development team plans to ship the product by November 2013. There are also a few contributions levels that allow bulk purchases, specifically to encourage users to share the technology with their local community. As with all Kickstarter and Indiegogo product projects, be aware that manufacturing delays can significantly push back the launch date of the product.

Godly Legacies
Posted in Daily Focus on Monday, February 3, 2014
"The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance" (Psalm 112:6b).
"And he did evil in the sight of the Lord," read my youngest son out loud as we studied the kings of Israel and Judah in our homeschool Bible curriculum. After reading the same sad statement in regard to three or four more kings, my son looked at me with a sober face and said, "Mom, weren't there any kings who did good in the sight of the Lord?"
"Yes," I replied. "As a matter of fact, there was a king named Josiah, and he was only eight years old when he became king. The Bible says he was different than the evil kings before him, 'and he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in all the way of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left' (2 Kings 22:2). Because he brought the people of Judah back to God and destroyed all the false gods they had been worshipping, King Josiah is forever remembered as a good king."
I could see my young son deep in thought before he turned to me and said, "Wow, I wonder what they'll write about me in the Bible after I'm dead!"
The story of King Josiah's life is an inspiration to all who read it because when Josiah heard the Word of God, he repented and made a covenant with God to serve the Lord with all his heart and soul and obey God's holy law (2 Kings 23:3). Because of his decision, the people also entered into the same covenant, and the nation was cleansed from its ungodly practices.
Legacies are not only for kings in Old Testament times. As a Christian, you will someday leave a legacy behind, too, when God chooses to take you home to heaven. If the story of your life was included in the Bible, how would you be remembered — as a man or woman who served the Lord faithfully with all your heart and soul, or as someone who did evil in the sight of the Lord? "Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us" (Hebrews 12:1a).
Father, thank You for preserving Your written Word, so I can learn from those who went before me. Help me to remain faithful in homeschooling and in serving You, so I can leave a godly legacy to all those who come after me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

My guess is that my colleague, Gary Parrish, missed it. I did not.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

OPINION: Rep. Marsha Blackburn in Investor's Business Daily: The President's Broken ObamaCare Promises: Time To Repeal
The President's Broken ObamaCare Promises: Time To Repeal
May 15, 2013
By Rep. Marsha Blackburn
On Thursday, the House will vote to fully repeal ObamaCare. We are voting to repeal it because the law was unaffordable and unpopular when the Democrats rammed it through Congress without a single Republican vote more than three years ago, and each day that passes the list of devastating consequences on premiums, taxes, and job creation continues to grow.
We are voting to repeal ObamaCare because the president promised, on the day he signed the law, that it would lower costs for businesses and families. But the sad truth is that the last three years have been littered with broken promises, and everyday folks from recent college graduates to older Americans will pay the price. Just this week the Energy and Commerce Committee, where I serve as vice chairman, discovered internal insurance company documents showing that ObamaCare will increase premiums on average by 96%.
The president promised that the law would save families $2,500 in the coming years, but one insurer informed the committee that 45 states "will see significant premium increases."
The president promised that the law would make it easier for young adults to obtain health insurance, but some young adults may face premium increases as high as 400%.
The president promised the law would provide "tangible benefits" to help small businesses provide coverage. The insurance industry disagrees: Internal analysis provided to the committee show that small businesses purchasing coverage for their employees in the small group market can expect premium increases up to 50%.
Contrary to Democrats' insistence that small businesses will receive tax credits to offset the increase, one insurer explained, the "ACA's small group health tax credit incentive program is temporary and very small."
And if you work for a large employer you aren't safe either, because of ObamaCare's taxes and fees, even premiums in the large group market are expected to increase premiums as much as 25%.
Why will costs skyrocket under ObamaCare?
In order to sell an unpopular bill, the president stuffed the bill with "free" benefits. The law mandates Americans buy a government-approved plan that covers services they might not need. For example, ObamaCare supporters took time this Mother's Day to celebrate the law's requirement to provide everyone "free" birth control.
Yet, documents provided to the committee by one of the largest insurers in the U.S. unquestionably demonstrate that these "free" services are simply added to premiums.
So instead of allowing a 60-year-old male to buy the insurance he needs, he's forced to pay for "free" birth control.
ObamaCare taxes are another factor that will contribute to rising premiums. As one insurer explained, consumers may no longer be able to afford their primary insurance choice because of this tax inequity.
The law's reputation is so damaged even Democrats are now running from it. One of the law's chief architects said he saw a "train wreck" coming.
I have news for you: the train wreck is already here. The internal insurance company documents my committee uncovered this week demonstrate once and for all: ObamaCare will make health care coverage vastly more expensive for the majority of consumers.
Democrats have claimed Americans will be able to rely on tax credits and subsidies to help pay for their massively expansive ObamaCare coverage. Yet, one health insurer told us that the subsidies only would cover 40% of premiums: so after doubling your costs, Democrats are offering to help you pay for less than half of it. As President Reagan once said: The government doesn't solve problems, it subsidizes them.
This week the House will vote once again to repeal ObamaCare. Why are we doing this? Because as one insurer stated, "the bottom line is that (ObamaCare) does not contain many provisions that will reduce costs and improve affordability."
Unlike the Obama administration, we are working to keep our promises to the American people.
Blackburn, a Republican, represents Tennessee's 7th District in Congress.

A pro quarterback better be able to throw a pass. A cardiologist must be able to interpret an EKG. These skills are essentials of their trades.
Pastoral ministry also has fundamentals. But in today's world, it's hard to stay focused on the pastoral essentials.
We met with four pastors in Madison, Wisconsin, to explore the pastoral essentials and the distractions that pull us away from our core calling: Bob Goodsell is campus pastor of the north site of Door Creek Church. Alex Gee, Jr. is pastor of Fountain of Life Church, a multi-ethnic church ministering in urban Madison. Matt Arndt is pastor of Bread of Life Anglican Church, a church plant started by Matt and his wife six years ago. Dale Chapin is pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in downtown Madison.
Everybody knows playing basketball has a short list of essentials-dribbling, passing, rebounding, shooting, and playing defense. What's your short list of essentials for pastoral ministry?
Bob Goodsell: Our senior pastor asked me the same question this week. My list includes preaching and teaching, vision casting, and equipping new leaders. When I was on staff with the Navigators, I used to tell pastors, "I know you have to marry, bury, and baptize, but don't forget to make a few disciples along the way."
Now that I'm a pastor, I have to tell myself the same thing. It's easy to forget to make disciples. That means evangelizing, establishing (immediate follow-up), equipping, and then enabling. This means giving believers a spiritual toolbox so they're equipped to grow in their faith and to share their faith with others.
Dale Chapin: I view ministry in the context of relationships. So, first and foremost, my relationship with ...

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Officials say they believe a contractor is responsible for dumping a massive mound of dirt suspected of shifting the ground underneath an interstate highway bridge and forcing its closure.
Delaware Transportation Secretary Shailen Bhatt says contractor Jim Thomas is working with department to remove the dirt, which officials believe was dumped next to the Interstate 495 bridge in Wilmington over a period of years.
Thomas couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
Engineers suspect the dirt's weight caused soils to shift, resulting in the tilting of several bridge columns Officials are trying to determine the mound's exact measurements, but it appears to rise about two stories and stretch nearly the length of a football field.
The bridge closed Monday and will remain closed until engineers figure out how to brace it.

Mind Matters
When you're the CEO of a company, everyone expects you to be invincible and to have all the answers--and there's no one you can talk to. Is it any wonder you feel so alone?
My patient, Jacob, came to me complaining of an extreme sense of isolation.
"A CEO has no peers," he'd said during our first session, many months before.
As the head of an aeronautics company, he had no coworkers with whom he could share the concerns of his stress-laden job. He felt it was his role to instill confidence in his employees, and he struggled to maintain a calm, self-assured facade. He could no more confide in his employees than he could in the various other people involved in the corporation--not the board members or the consultants, and least of all the customers. The closest thing to peers he had were other industry executives, many of them competitors, and there the need for secrecy was worst of all.
Added to his isolation was a recurring feeling that he was an impostor, lacking the qualifications to run this company. He was the son of uneducated immigrant parents and had been the first in his family to attend college, and though he had graduated with distinction, he was certain it was only a matter of time before the world of Ivy League M.B.A.'s exposed him as the fraud he was. "I came from a swamp," he told me once. "No foundations. Everything rests on sludge."
His fear of being found out was so extreme that, while he craved connection with others, all possibilities of intimacy became threatening. That dynamic invaded his personal life as well. He kept his wife at a distance. Though she had no background in aeronautics, he lived in dread that she might ask him highly technical questions about his work, forcing him to admit he didn't know all the answers. He had difficulty with the simple intimacies of married life: he refused to share a closet and was uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed with her. Even his children seemed threatening, as if they might suddenly quiz him on some matter and find his response wanting.
Although Jacob's case was particularly severe, painful isolation like his bedevils many successful businesspeople. In the hierarchical structure of most corporations, CEOs don't have peers, and their real need to maintain distance frequently breeds anxiety.
When I first saw Jacob in individual therapy, he was unwilling to open up with me for several months. It was as if he feared that I too would discover his inadequacies and judge him harshly. I then suggested he join a short-term, 20-session therapy group I had formed.
His behavior in the group was revealing. The other participants took to him quickly because he was very attentive to their problems and needs. Time and again, people told him how valuable they found his insights, how much they appreciated the energy and focus he brought to the meetings. Gradually, however, the feedback began to change. The comments shifted from words of appreciation to questions such as "Jacob, what about you?" and "What are your concerns?" The therapy-group members remarked that after months together, they still felt as if they barely knew Jacob.
Jacob's participation demonstrated a core principle of group psychotherapy, namely, that the group serves as a social microcosm. In the therapy setting, patients re-create the same type of interpersonal relations and problems that plague them elsewhere in their lives. Jacob, who possessed excellent problem-solving skills key to his professional success, was quite capable of assessing the problems of the other members. When it came to himself, however, he was unable to share his emotions. Just as he did in his work life, he kept himself sheltered from self-disclosure.
Rather than focusing on his accounts of the rest of his life, I focused on Jacob's actual behavior within the group. I made certain he heard what the others were telling him: that they didn't know him and that they wanted to be closer to him. I encouraged him to express his fears of opening up to other members--his fear of judgment, his fear of being found a fraud--and he made some halfhearted efforts to do so before the group ended.
This brief experience had a profound effect. Over the course of the next nine months in individual therapy, Jacob repeatedly referred to the group and the feedback he'd received there. Gradually, he began to reveal his insecurities to me and grew comfortable trusting me with his secrets. To his great surprise, he found that I did not judge him for what he saw as weaknesses. A new idea took root: in the group and in our relationship, he discovered the paradoxical effect of self-disclosure, that neither I nor the group saw him as less able and less interesting because of his vulnerabilities. We actually felt closer to him, more interested.
I urged Jacob to transfer some of the things he'd learned in my office to his life at home. He became adamant that he wanted his children to grow up closer to him than he had been with his father, and he made determined efforts to be more engaged with them emotionally. The greatest change was in his relationship with his wife. Where he had previously seen a source of intimidation, he began to see a friend.
I would have liked to tell Jacob many things during our work together, but ironically, I too must keep up an appearance of confidence. As a therapist, I understand all too well his isolation. Trust and confidentiality prevent me from discussing my patients--the most important elements of my professional life--with my friends. To talk or write about even the most enlightening cases, I must construct elaborate disguises for my patients, as I have done here.
What's more, I too am the son of uneducated immigrant parents; my sister and I were the first in our family to attend college. I understand the feeling of being an impostor, as I must constantly speak--to my patients, to students, to the public--with a voice of authority. As I've begun writing novels, this feeling has grown stronger. When I read reviews that praise my books, I feel relieved that once again I've pulled the wool over the reviewers' eyes. And each time a bad review appears, I shiver, thinking, "Ah, they've found me out at last!"
This enforced isolation is an occupational hazard in many professions. CEOs must, at all costs, appear to maintain a serene self-confidence. On the eve of a great battle, the general must not walk among his troops wringing his hands in fear. And yet...the general must have someone to talk to. In my own life I've found this to be the key--I, like everyone else, must have someone to talk to. Over the years I've developed my "circle of intimates," close friends and family members with whom I can be totally open, and an ongoing support group of several colleagues.
My task in therapy is to help individuals like Jacob find some place for intimacy in their lives. The first step is for us to establish our relationship as one small, safe space of intimacy--frequently, the only such space these patients have. Next we begin to push outward from that space to nurture other close friendships.
That does not mean a radical change in interactions with coworkers. Isolation is built into certain professional situations--mine as a psychiatrist, and perhaps this CEO's. Seeking wellsprings of intimacy in the workplace may be inappropriate. Generally, CEOs' isolation is best countered with careful attention to their personal and family spheres.

The Xbox One Hacked
Only five days since the Xbox One launched and hackers already are claiming to have hacked the Xbox One.
The Xbox One has become on of the fastest selling console of all time selling more than 1 million consoles across 13 mayor territories and now that hackers have gotten their hands on brand new Xbox One their hacking mission has begun, and with great success. Hackers claim to have been able to dump the Xbox One's NAND, it can be dumped similarly as with the Xbox 360 by using Corona V2 using SD Card reader.
The hacker C4eva (the one who dumped Call of Duty: Ghosts's data) claims that disks can actually be read be read. Hackers are fast approaching their goal of downloading games, ripping the games to blueray disks and playing them on the Xbox One.
One of the main reasons why Microsoft wanted to implement DRM (Digital Rights Management) in to the Xbox One was because, this way they could prohibit these things from happening by having you connect to the internet in order to be able to play the games, if anyone got caught with pirated software then you would be banned outright. Now the Xbox one console can be played offline and hackers can do what they do best, Hack.
What are your thoughts on this? Does this make you less likely to get an Xbox One? Please leave your comments below expressing your thoughts

A public finance analysis of multiple reserve requirements
This paper analyzes multiple reserve requirements of the type that have been imposed by a number of developing countries. We show that previous theoretical work on this topic has not succeeded in providing a social welfare rationale for the existence of multiple reserve requirements. We go on to present a model in which it is possible for a multiple reserves regime to improve social welfare relative to simpler regimes involving reserve requirements and/or deposit taxes. We demonstrate the empirical plausibility of our approach by providing a case study of Mexico, a country with extensive historical experience with multiple reserve requirements.

If you're like me you're always meaning to read more poetry. And not just because of that vague, niggling sense that poetry is good for you, but because the experience of reading a poem is immersive. I find that reading and then re-reading a good poem puts me in a meditative state as I try, on my first read, to skate along the surface, and then on subsequent reads, to find a deeper meaning. I'm not that practiced at it, and I sometimes wish that I had knowledgeable friends with whom to discuss poetry, a poetry club, if you will.
With that idea in mind, we're launching a Facebook program this year. It's called 12 by 12 in 2012. Each month we'll post a poem online and Special Collections Librarian, Jim Carmin, will hang out with the poet and you, entertaining your questions and having a lively discussion. Our first event will take place on Monday, January 23rd from 2-3pm with Matthew Dickman. We wanted to give you a head start on Matthew's poem, and so we are posting it here. Enjoy, and please join us on Monday to chat with Matthew and Jim, if you have a chance. (Please note that you will have to 'like' Multnomah County Library's Facebook page to participate in the chat.)
I like the inner lives of the silverware; the fork,
the spoon, the knife. I appreciate
how they each have a different reference toward
god, how the fork is Muslim,
the spoon, like a stone, is Buddhist, how the knife
is Roman Catholic—
always worried, always having
a hard time forgiving people, the knife kneeling
down in Ireland and Africa. In San Francisco
my lamp has become a temple.
Every time I turn it on the light moves out across
the room like a meditation,
like a bell or a robe
the way it covers everything and doesn't want to
kill. Light is the husband
and everything it touches is its bride, the floor,
the wall, my body,
the bronze installation in Hayes Valley
its bride. The lamp chants
and my clothes, my hat thrown in the corner of the room
chants back: nothing, nothing. In my next life
I'll have no fingers, no toes. In my next life I'll be
a bougainvillea. A Buddhist monk
will wake up early on Sunday morning and not be a fork
and not be a knife, he will look down at the girl
sleeping in his bed like a body of water,
he will think about how
he lifted her up like a spoon to his mouth all night, and walk
into the courtyard and pick up the shears
and cut a little part of me, and lie me down next to her mouth
which is breathing heavily and changing all the dark in the room to light.

Hello All,
I am in the process of shopping for a new FS mtb and have eyes on the Giant Trance and Kona Hei Hei (have only recently started looking). I am limited mostly to what my local stores stock if I want to test ride.
However, during my search I have also come across specials and closeouts but usually I would have to buy these without being able to test ride or even see it. Here's an example of a great deal:
Universal Cycles -- Online Specials & Overstock Items
A $3,200 bike for $1,700! What are your thoughts on going this route? Any experience out there with Salsa bike vs Giant vs Kona?

This hotel offers great rooms for a reasonable price. It's situated in a quiet streat near the commercial centre of Sapporo at walking distance. Hotel staff was friendly, although they hardly spoke any english. The room I stayed in (an semi-oval shaped room) was spacious, quiet and clean.

Associated Press
Massive tax cuts proposed by GOP presidential candidates Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would cause the national debt to explode, while Mitt Romney's budget plan could generate red ink in line with current projections, according to a new study released Thursday.
The nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a Washington-based budget- watchdog group, estimates that the wrenching budget cuts proposed by Ron Paul would lessen the flow of red ink compared with current policies but still leave the government running a sizable deficit.
The candidates' budget plans provide a sharp contrast with President Barack Obama, who released his latest fiscal blueprint just last week. Like Obama, the GOP candidates have the luxury of suspending political reality and assuming lawmakers would enact their ideas into law quickly.
That translates into a tax code in which taxes on investments and capital gains are reduced sharply or eliminated. Each candidate would eliminate inheritance taxes on large estates. And tax rates on individuals would be cut as well — all in the face of deficits that economists say eventually would cripple the economy.
The results, according to the study, would be higher deficits, except in the case of Paul, whose spending cuts dwarf anything being considered by his three rivals.
According to the study, Gingrich's plan would add $7 trillion to the nation's debt over the coming nine years — almost doubling the deficits that would be recorded if the government basically ran on autopilot. Santorum's plan would add $4.5 trillion over the period, or about $500 billion to the deficit every year on average.
By contrast, Romney's proposal would add $250 billion to the deficit over nine years, though that estimate was generated before he unveiled a new tax-reform plan this week that could add considerably to the deficit.
What a joke. This article flies in the face of evidence that tax cuts spur economic activity, which in turn boost tax revenue. Nothing but a left wing hit piece.
I think that the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget- website: http://crfb.org/ is non partisan and mainly concerned with the huge size of the federal deficit.
Their new report released this week basically outlines the plans put forth by the Republican candidates and estimates what effects they would have on our nation's debt. It is worth going to their website and looking at the spending and debt projections of the candidates.
They are a best guess scenario but Ron Paul is the ONLY one who actually shrinks the debt. Romney comes in 2nd with debt about the same. It looks like the proposals of the other 2 actually increase the debt substantially.
I'm very concerned about our country's debt and the politicians who don't have the courage to CUT spending. They just direct it to their friends. Ron Paul has been elected to congress 12 times and he has NEVER voted for an unbalanced budget. I urge everyone including democrats and independants to ask for the Rupublican ballot at the primary on March 6 and vote for Ron Paul. You can still vote for whoever you want in the presidential election in the fall. Send a message to the Republicans in the primary to CUT the SPENDING!

When it comes to action sports, nobody goes bigger than Red Bull athletes. They turn in big-time performances and pull big-time tricks to push the limits of their sports.

The folks at Red Bull revealed their list of the top 13 photos "from the world of Red Bull" today, and the selections are pretty amazing. Here's what I think are the five best images from the group:

Reye Syndrome - Topic Overview
What is Reye syndrome?
Reye syndrome is a rare but serious disease that most often affects children ages 6 to 12 years old. It can cause brain swelling and liver damage. It may be related to using aspirin to treat viral infections.
Reye syndrome can lead to brain damage, liver damage, and death. But if the disease is found and treated early, most children recover from Reye syndrome in a few weeks and have no lasting problems.

Want to Help Feed America's Hungry Children?
Scarlett Johansson discovered her passion for feeding the hungry after Hurricane Katrina, when she started working with USA Harvest in New Orleans. Several years later, Stan Curtis, who founded USA Harvest, asked her if she wanted to help promote a new program called Blessings in a Backpack. The idea was to send kids who received subsidized school lunches home for the weekend with backpacks filled with food for them and their families. Johansson leapt at the chance. "I think, especially now, a lot...
Read the Want to Help Feed America's Hungry Children? article > >
What causes Reye syndrome?
Experts don't know what causes Reye syndrome. It often happens in children who have recently had chickenpox or the flu and who took medicines that contain aspirin.
Reye syndrome cannot spread from child to child.
What are the symptoms?
Reye syndrome often starts when a child is recovering from a viral illness, such as the flu or chickenpox. Symptoms usually appear 3 to 7 days after the viral illness starts. They may develop over several hours to a day or two.
The first symptoms may include:
- Sudden retching or vomiting.
- Lack of energy and loss of interest in things.
- Strange behavior, such as staring, irritability, personality changes, and slurred speech.
- Sleepiness.
As liver damage and brain damage get worse, other symptoms may develop, including:
- Confusion. Your child may not know where he or she is, recognize family or friends, or be able to answer simple questions.
- Fast, deep breathing (hyperventilation).
- Violent behavior, such as hitting others without reason.
- Seizures and coma.
If Reye syndrome is not treated quickly, it can cause death.
If your child has symptoms of Reye syndrome, get medical care right away, even if your child has not had a recent viral illness or taken aspirin. Early treatment makes full recovery more likely.
How is Reye syndrome diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask questions about your child's symptoms, recent aspirin use, and past health problems.
Your child may need tests such as blood and urine tests, a liver biopsy, a CT scan of the head, and a lumbar puncture (spinal tap).

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has expanded the amount of information available on its Hospital Compare website to include 11 new outpatient measures, along with updated information related to 30 day mortality and readmissions rates for patients related to heart failure, heart attack, and pneumonia.
As of March, data from more than 4,600 acute care, critical access, and children's hospitals could be found on the site; 80% are acute care hospitals that can receive financial incentives through Medicare's inpatient prospective payment system.
The site currently receives over one million page views per month "making it one of our more popular resources for consumers," said Marilyn Tavenner, CMS acting administrator, at a telebriefing.
The new information being released on Hospital Compare is not a surprise to the nation's hospitals, said Barry Straub, CMS's chief medical officer. This data had already been shared with the hospitals several months ago, including patient satisfaction data. "Many hospitals have already begun to improve their efforts based on these measures," he said.
The big change is that Hospital Compare has expanded beyond the inpatient setting to look at the coordination of care in the outpatient setting. These 11 measures capture elements of care for patients in the outpatient departments, emergency departments, and observation services: They include:

Some guys love women of all shapes and sizes, from the skinniest A-cupped darlings to bodacious 36-28-36 vixens to sedate but sizzling BBWs, but not you. You're a fan of specific taste, of focused erotic attraction, and you've focused it well if you're looking at Big Tits Round Asses. Bang Bros' most voluptuous, curvaceous site, Big Tits Round Asses honors the thickest thighs, juiciest booties, and heftiest racks in porn and does it in 720p HD movies that'll have you drooling and daydreaming in no time.
Pornstars might be known as expert cocksuckers, but what do they do when faced with a penis so sizable they might not be able to wrap their lips around even its head? Big Mouthfuls poses this challenge to a few hundred stellar adult performers and finds out that, while some girls might struggle to reach the shaft, others will be deep-throating and gagging before the intro's even done. Then, of course, there's the super-hot sex and eventual oral cum deposit, not to mention the rest of the Bang Bros network. Big Mouthfuls certainly is a lot to take in.
Often imitated but never bettered, Amateur Allure is a POV porn experience like no other. Stare deep into the bright eyes of a cum-hungry porno newbie as she slurps, strokes, and sucks the cum straight outta your balls! Ok, so, as a POV-heavy site, Amateur Allure won't actually deliver you a cock-sucking babe in the flesh, but it does the next best thing with 1080p HD videos starring porn's most scintillating newcomers. Blowjob porn doesn't get much fresher or tastier than Amateur Allure, folks, so dig in!
Kelly Madison, she of the incredible 34FF chest and self-made pornography empire, may seem to be focusing on her sites Porn Fidelity and Teen Fidelity these days, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's neglecting her original self-titled official online presence. Still offering a huge archive of nearly 2,500 scenes and galleries, Kelly's site packs a sharp left hook to your tired notions of lackluster solo pornstar sites. Still, with her Fidelity twin-set being so consistently brilliant, can Kelly's initial venture into online porn maintain its credibility and quality in the HD era? Read on, MILF fan, and find out what's swinging at Kelly Madison dot com. (Beside her massive jugs, that is.)
From the big breast-obsessed brains at Hustler HQ comes Barely Legal! No, not the magazine of the same name - well, that's here too - but an online archive of hardcore sex movies and galleries detailing the sordid activities of newly legally fuckable teenage sluts. From Chastity Lynn to Anya Ivy to Carter Cruise, Barely Legal's scorching hot teenage babes will prove to you that, MILFs be damned, it's the younger, more energetic, more enthusiastic, and more impressionable women who really deserve your attention.
Like Godzilla vs Mothra, King Kong vs T-Rex, and Ali vs Foreman, when the best and most bad-ass male and female porn dynamos get together for a sizzling sexual battle, nothing, not your city or your laptop or your sweat-stained jeans, will ever be the same again. Monsters of Cock's pairings don't quite result in total chaos and destruction, but they do pack a hefty punch and see porn's most flexible and accommodating women spread themselves wide for porn's biggest, blackest dicks for interracial fucking par excellence. Isn't that a good start to finally bridging our remaining racial inequity? No? Well, at least it's blazingly hot.
If it's porno starring anal queens, DP-lovers, and the stretchiest girls in adult entertainment, Tushy is undoubtedly one of the hottest tickets in town. A very new site dealing only in anal sex, Tushy sees such babes as Riley Reid, Aubrey Star, Cherie DeVille, and Kendra Lust take porn's thickest cocks in their asses, some of them for the very first time, in 1080p HD movies that'll take your breath away. It might be small, but Tushy's archive is already proving impossible for anal-fiends to ignore and it's only going to get more impressive from here on out.
For too long gay adult performers have been shunned, rejected, ostracized from mainstream society, so fuck mainstream society. The Gay Room crew not only created their own little safe haven for homosexual deviancy, they created a temple of worship devoted to the most god-like of all its models. That site is Man Royale and its featured stars are the cream of the crop of today's gay porn world. Shot in 1080p HD stroking themselves, sucking each other, and fucking any stiff dick or puckering asshole in sight, Man Royale's refined gentlemen just also happen to be hot pieces of juicy fuck. Check 'em out.

In this paper, we consider speaker identification for the co-channel scenario in which speech mixture from speakers is recorded by one microphone only. The goal is to identify both of the speakers from their mixed signal. High recognition accuracies have already been reported when an accurately estimated signal-to-signal ratio (SSR) is available. In this paper, we approach the problem without estimating SSR. We show that a simple method based on fusion of adapted Gaussian mixture models and Kullback-Leibler divergence calculated between models, achieves an accuracy of 97% and 93% when the two target speakers enlisted as three and two most probable speakers, respectively.
