Following its first-ever Filmmaker in Residence initiative with English Director and Writer Andrea Arnold on October 3rd, Jaeger-LeCoultre supported this week two major Cinema achievements as part of its multi-year partnership with the Film Society of Lincoln Center: the New York Premiere of 12 YEARS A SLAVE directed by Steve McQueen and the Tribute Gala honoring Ralph Fiennes.
On October 8th, Jaeger-LeCoultre and the Film Society of Lincoln Center welcomed Director Steve McQueen for his new film 12 YEARS A SLAVE, written by John Ridley and based on the true story Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, abducted and sold into slavery.
The evening was punctuated by the screening of the film followed by a Q&A session with the cast of the movie including
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Paulson, Paul Dano.
On October 9th, Jaeger-LeCoultre also joined the Film Society of Lincoln Center to pay tribute to the unique talent and career of Actor and Director Ralph Fiennes. The Tribute Gala honored the Award-winning actor featuring a unique retrospective on his career including Schindler's List, The English Patient. An extended on-stage conversation followed by the U.S. premiere of his latest film The Invisible Woman marked this very special evening.
"Mr. Fiennes has brilliantly embodied the larger-than-life creations of writers such as Shakespeare, Dickens, and Graham Greene, among others, and given us an extraordinary body of work to celebrate. The Film Society is excited to honor him at this year's New York Film Festival not only as an actor, but as the director of THE INVISIBLE WOMAN, truly one of the noteworthy films of the year." Executive Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center Rose Kuo said.

ELKHART — There's a lot of love in downtown Elkhart.
It's lining Main Street, and soon it will be in storefronts, restaurants and along the Riverwalk. The Elkhart General Hospital Foundation began placing the first wave of large heart statues in downtown in the fall, and in just one more month, they will be auctioned off at a Valentine's Day fundraiser for the hospital's Center for Cardiac Care.
About 20 large fiberglass hearts standing five feet high and 25 smaller hearts measuring 18 inches tall were designed and painted by artists from the Michiana region.
"Anytime you can use art to help the community, like what the cardiac center is going to do, it's just a good thing," said Nancy Wirt, an interior designer and owner of n.wirt design on Main Street who recruited a group of artists for the fundraiser.
Wirt was impressed by the caliber of artists who signed on for the art project and found herself in awe of the finished hearts.
"There are so many great artists in this community, so I feel really fortunate," she said. "It's a lot of work. Even the smaller hearts, they're small, but that's a lot of work that went into them."
Not all of the hearts are displayed downtown. One will stay at the hospital, and others will make their way into the city once they are covered with a clear protective coating. The hearts will be exhibited downtown until they are sold at the special fundraiser event Feb. 14 at the Lerner Theatre.
The money raised will help pay for high-tech enhancements that will allow EGH to offer the implantation of ventricular assist devices in Elkhart for the first time. The fundraiser will also benefit HeartReach Michiana, a nonprofit organization started by an EGH doctor in 2004 that buys and distributes portable automated external defibrillators, or AEDs.
Just outside Wirt's Main Street storefront is a heart titled "Let Your Heart Shine" designed by Katie McCormick, a stay-at-home mom from Elkhart. The vibrantly colored statue is covered in whimsical quotes about the sun and moon and even a lyric from a song that her mother used to sing. McCormick painted the heart in her garage during a humid week in August.
McCormick is excited to be part of the project for EGH, bringing beauty to the community she grew up in.
"It just adds culture," she said. "It makes you feel like you're in a place that more well-rounded."
Suzanne Weirick, a co-chair for the EGH fundraiser, agreed.
"It gives us character," said Weirick, who has been working closely with fellow co-chair Tim Portolese and foundation executive director Jon Housand. "It shows we have passion and creativity."

The phylum Platyhelminthes contains both parasitic worms and the free living flatworms. These flattened wormlike organisms range from a millimeter to centimeters or rarely meters. The mouth is typically the only opening to the digestive tract, they use the same opening to both ingest food and egest waste. In both of these groups, protonephridia are present for excretion of wastes and individuals are hermaphroditic.
Parasitic - Parasitic Platyhelminthes
All of these groups of Platyhelminthes are parasitic and have adapted their life cycles and body structures to help them better utilize their hosts.
Cestoids are generally known as tapeworms and all species are endoparasites in the guts of all types of vertebrates. They are quite diverse with 3400 species worldwide.
Cestoids are known as tapeworms because that is what they look like; long and thin much like an unravelled role of tape. Adults are dorso-ventrally flattened but unlike other flatworms possess is an anterior, suckered head region called a scolex for attachment to their host. The scolex is often minute compared to the rest of the body and is generally a four sided knob with suckers or hooks for attachment to the host gut wall. Behind the scolex is the narrow neck which is proliferative(produces all each segment) and gives rise to the body segments called strobila. The strobila consists of linearly arranged sectional segments called proglottids.
Cilia are used to locomote in some dispersal stages of the life cycle but adults are parasites they only need to move in the digestive tract of their host. Any movement is accomplished by transverse, longitudinal and circular muscle movements.
The cestodes have very limited sensory abilities due to their parasitic existence. The adults have virtually no sensory organs and the oncosphere has only cilia with which to detect its environment.
Since their body is small and dorso-ventrally flattened, there is no need for any sort of respiratory system. The diffusion distance for gas exchange is short and oxygen is absorbed across the general body wall. The protonephridial system extends through the chain of proglottids and drain into collecting canals finally, emptying into the exterior.
Cestodes are hermaphroditic with a complete reproductive system on each proglottid. At copulation the cirrus of the male is everted into the vaginal opening of the proglottid of an adjacent worm. Zygotes remain in a blind-ended uterus where development begins and the egg capsule hardens. In many cases the terminal proglottid packed with eggs breaks away from the strobila and is freed within the feces
The life cycles of cestodes vary in their requirements for number of intermediate hosts. In the aquatic food chain, species are widely distributed in northern areas and are parasitic in the guts of many fish-eating carnivores including humans. Species of Diphyllobothrium possess egg capsules which are deposited with the faeces in water and a ciliated, free swimming coracidium bearing six small hooks, hatches in 10 days. When the coracidium is ingested by a copepod crustacean it penetrates their gut wall and develops into a procercoid. When the copepod is eaten by a fish the procercoid migrates to striated muscle of the fish where it transforms into the plerocercoid stage. The plerocercoid develops into an adult tapeworm when the fish is ingested by a suitable warm-blooded host.
Cestodes are found in the gut of many species which consume fish (see life cycle). The head or scolex is adorned with hooks and suckers that enable the cestode to attach to the gut lining. Here they feed upon tissue and blood cells.
Idiosyncratic Inverts
Tape worms are extremely long and can grow to a length of 15 meters.
In terms of parasite abundance, digeneans are second only to nematodes. Digeneans have complex life cycles, and usually have a mollusc as one of their intermediate hosts.
The body forms of digeneans vary during life but adults range from 0.2 mm to 6.0 cm in length. They are typically dorso-ventrally flattened with an oral sucker surrounding the mouth, although some species have a mid-ventral or posterior ventral sucker as well.
When in the egg stage they are at the mercy of water currents, but once they hatch into miracidium they are able to locomote using cilia. During the cercaria stage they develop both a tail which enables them to find a host and a digestive tract and suckers. Locomotion is only required when looking for a host.
The surface of the body has a variety of sensory papillae and ocelli occur in many miracidia and some cercariae stages.
Since the body is small and dorso-ventrally flattened there is no need for any sort of respiration system. The diffusion distance for gas exchange is short and oxygen is absorbed across the general body wall.
Digeneans, like most other Platyhelminthes, have no special provisions for circulation but do have a lymphatic system. Canals lined with flattened cells are interspersed around the muscular organs and have free cells floating in the enclosed fluid.
Digeneans have protonephridia as well as flame cells which they use to excrete nitrogenous wastes and to disperse the wastes.
All digeneans are hermaphroditic and produce huge numbers of eggs, 10,000 to 100,000 times greater than that of free-living flat worms. They are all hermaphroditic. The male organs consists of two testes which connect to sperm ducts that unite and lead to an eversible copulatory cirrus. The cirrus protrudes into a common genital atrium. The female organs consist of a single ovary and oviduct which leads into a small sac called the ootype. It is surrounded by a gland which is important in egg capsule formation. The ootype leads into the uterus which runs into the genital atrium and gonopore. During copulation sperm exchange is mutual and usually dependent on cross-fertilization although self-fertilization does occur. Sperm travel up the uterus and are stored in the seminal receptacle. Eggs are fertilized in the oviduct or ootype and the egg capsule that develops pass along the uterus where embryonic development begins and eventual release into the environment.
The life cycle of digeneans varies among species but all species have two infective stages which infect two different hosts. The life cycle begins when an adult digenean releases eggs which pass out of its host, usually through the faeces. The eggs hatch into a ciliated miracidium which actively seeks out the first host, a gastropod, penetrating its skin and metamorphosing into a saclike sporocyst. In this stage it grows into a cercaria which possesses a single opening digestive tract, suckers and a tail, enabling it to leave the snail and seek out the secondary intermediate host, usually an arthropod or a fish, where it encysts, becoming a metacercaria. After encysting in the gut, or gut derivatives the metacercaria develops into an adult at which time it reproduces, releasing more eggs to continue the cycle.
All digeneans are parasites of at least two host organisms at various stages of their life cycle. Once within a host they feed on its body cells, blood cells, mucus or tissue exudates. Host tissues are injured by the strong oral sucker that the organism uses for attachment or by the enzymes secreted used to soften host tissues to prepare them for digestion.
A bulbous pharynx ingests food into a short esophagus that divides into two blind intestinal caeca that extend posteriorly along the length of the body.
Idiosyncratic Inverts
The schistoma larvae of one digenean cause the skin irritation, swimmer's itch, in humans. The larval metacercaria penetrates the skin of individuals and die, causing an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals. Human penetration by the larva is purely accidental, the larva was really seeking a bird host.
Monogeneans are parasites of aquatic vertebrates, usually fishes, but sometimes amphibians and reptiles. Their bodies are dorso-ventrally flattened and have a large, posterior attachment organ called a haptor which bears hooks and suckers allowing them to cling tenaciously to their host. The possess a single life cycle unlike digeneans, in that there is no intermediate host.
The body is compose of a head, trunk, and haptor. The head lacks an oral sucker but adhesive glands are present. The haptor is a single disc with one to three pairs of large hooks and many marginal hooklets.
When the parasite is not attached to its host, it is able to locomote using an inch worm-like motion with the aid of its oral adhesive glands and haptor. During the larval stages it is able to move around using the coordinated movement of cilia covering the body.Ocelli are found in the juvenile oncomiracidium stage but are usually been lost in the adult due to their parasitic behavior.
Since the body is small and dorso-ventrally flattened there is no need for any sort of respiration system. The diffusion distance for gas exchange is short and oxygen is absorbed across the general body wall.
Monogeneans have protonephridia consisting of scattered terminal cells and their collecting tubules to filter wastes from the organism. These tubules open to the exterior at two dorso-lateral pores and flame cells.
Monogeneans have only one intermediate host in their life cycle, which can either be a fish or an amphibian. Their egg capsules are released into the water and an oncomiracidium develops which attaches to the gills of a tadpole or a young fish where it develops into an adult. Monogenans have complex, hermaphroditic, reproductive systems. The male reproductive system has a single, oval testis occasionally paired, with a sperm duct that leads to the copulatory structure. This is typically a protrusible penis-like structure that may be armed with hooks. During copulation there is mutual exchange of sperm, passed into the single or paired vagina of the partner. Sperm is stored in the seminal receptacle near the single ovary and extensive vitellaria.
Monogeneans are parasitic with only one intermediate host (see life cycle). The digestive system of monogenan is similar to that of digeneans but the pharynx secretes protease that digests the host's skin, allowing the parasite to ingest blood and cellular debris.
Idiosyncratic Inverts
Members of one genera of monogenean, Polystoma, lives in the urinary bladders of frogs. Larvae attach to tadpoles and upon its metamorphosis move into its urinary bladder, lose their larval characteristics and become sexually mature.
Non-Parasitic - Turbellaria
Scientists can train turbellarians to do simple tasks, such as finding water in a maze. When these flatworms are then cut in half, the new halves learn faster than the original.
Turbellarians are dorso-ventrally flattened and vary in shape from oval to elongate. They are usually brown, black or grey in colour and range in size from a mm to more than 60cm. All turbellarians possess an intestine without an anus and the mouth is used for both ingestion and egestion. Smaller turbellarians have a simple unbranched gut while larger species have guts with lateral diverticula that greatly increase the surface area for absorbing nutrients.
Small turbellarians use waves of ciliary action for locomotion to glide over surfaces, whereas larger species use muscular movements of their entire body to creep, swim, twist or somersault along the substrate. Contractions of the body wall are accomplished by outer circular muscles, inner longitudinal muscles and in some of the larger species additional diagonal muscles.
Turbellarians have a vast array of organs that enable them to sense environmental stimuli. These organs include sensory hairs, eyes, statocysts and chemoreceptors of various types.
Some species possess ciliated pits in front of their cerebral ganglion that are used in phototaxis (movement towards light). Turbellarians usually have one pair of direct or inverted cup eyes for detecting movement. As well as immobilizing prey, poisonous rhabdoids, rod-like structures produced in the epidermis, on the front external surface also help deter potential predators.
Since their body is small and dorso-ventrally flattened there is no need for any sort of respiration system. The diffusion distance for gas exchange is short and oxygen is absorbed across the general body wall.
Nutrients can ordinarily simply diffuse from the central gut to nearby tissues, but large species possess branches on the gut to aid nutrient transport to the margin of the body.
Turbellarians eliminate nitrogenous wastes by diffusion across the body surface, and excrete excess water and other waste metabolites using protonephridia. These are distributed over the body of the turbellarian, and collect waste and feed it into ducts which eventually lead to the exterior through pores. At the end of each duct there are special ciliated structures called flame cells which help to disperse wastes away from the organism.
Turbellarians are hermaphroditic and typically reproduce both asexually and sexually. The majority of sexual reproduction in turbellarians is hermaphroditic by way of copulation and fertilization is generally internal. The male and female systems are complex but show some general features. The male part of the system consists of paired testes leading into a sperm duct, a storage sac or seminal vesicle and a penis. The female part of the system is specialized into the gonopore (vagina), copulatory bursa and seminal receptacle for short and long-term sperm storage, respectively. The female system also produces eggs in the ovaries and transports via the oviduct to the gonopore.
Freshwater turbellarians frequently use asexual reproduction in times of environmental stress and when mating partners are scarce. This is usually accomplished, by one of two methods: budding and transverse fission. In budding, the buds (zooids), differentiate along the length of the "parents body", forming chains until fission separates them into new individuals. Transverse fission or division begins with a division forming behind the pharynx and separating the organism into halves. The posterior half of the worm usually attaches itself to the substratum while the anterior half continues to move forward until the two halves pull apart. Each half then regenerates the missing structures to form a complete worm. A few species of freshwater planarians actually fragment their body into several pieces, each of which regenerate to form several small worms.
Turbellarians feed predominantly on bacteria, protozoans and other small invertebrates in their benthic habitats. Most turbellarians are carnivores but scavenging is not uncommon. Prey is immobilized by special structures called rhabdoids which enable the turbellarian to swallow the prey whole, in pieces or suck the body fluids out of it.

Ordered hoping that the sizing chart and comments were accurate but that wasn't the case. I'm 5"11 and 285 lbs and work out. I wear an XXL t shirt but this swim short/rash guard fit way too tight Ended up in a 5XL O'Neil although a 4XL might have fit a little better. Hope to see these guys expand their sizes but until then I'll have to look elsewhere.

It was the year 1961 when world renowned surf artist and publisher John Severson included a "Toes on the Nose" layout in the debut issue of Surfer Magaine, then called Surfer Quarterly.
Inspired by the art of longboarding, this editorial column depicted the classic maneuver of the surfer's toes hanging off the edge of the tip of the board, hence the name Toes On The Nose. It was the magazine's first regular feature. Severson designed the legendary logo which remains today.
With the blessing of Surfer Magazine, Toes on the Nose surf apparel company was established in 1992 in Laguna Beach, California with the mission to define its image through the definitive soul and artful style of longboarding.
Cultivated from its deep noseriding roots and strong commitment to its authentic beach heritage, Toes on the Nose reflects its style through its signature classic look with high quality fabrics, trims and construction.
Yet it is more than just clothes. It is an attitude and a lifestyle... of clean living and celebrating the tradition of longboarding. It is about friends and family and loving life. It is about sunsets and the sun on your back. It is about that perfect morning session. It is about honoring the pioneers of surf.. from Duke to Doyle.
Today Toes on the Nose continues the tradition, catering to the outdoorsman who wants the clean and classic style reflecting the simplicity of earlier times.

text: Diamond D is a hip hop producer and MC from the Bronx, New York City, and one of the founding members of the legendary D.I.T.C. crew. He started out as a DJ for Jazzy Jay back in the late 1980s and was at the same time perfecting his skills in beat making and turntablism, and together with rhyme partner Master Rob, he was one half of the group Ultimate Force. The group signed with Jazzy Jay's Strong City Records, and Diamond and Rob started recording their debut album, I'm Not Playin', in 1988 and released the 12-inch single with the same title, which spawned a buzz in the underground. The album was completed in 1990, but it got caught up in label politics, such as the shutdown of Strong City distributor Uni Records, and was shelved until 2007 when it was released through Traffic Entertainment. One of the last songs recorded for the album was a Diamond D solo song in which he actually picked up the mike for the first time. The song was called "The Best-Kept Secret." As Ultimate Force dissolved, record executives got their eyes on the Bronx phenomenon, which eventually resulted in the release of Diamond's debut album, Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop (released under the moniker Diamond & the Psychotic Neurotics), in 1992. The album is considered to be one of the finest D.I.T.C. solo LPs and features early appearances from Big L and Fat Joe, the latter of whose 1993 debut album, Represent, was mainly produced by Diamond D.

Simple text alignment
this wiki
created August 23, 2002 · complexity basic · author Jahagirdar Vijayvithal S · version 5.7
Some times one would like to reformat text like:
a=1; foo=2; longstring=1; c=2
a =1; foo =2; longstring =1; c =2;
This is how we achieve it
This is what it does
0 goes to first column f= finds next occurrence of = on current line 20i<Space><Esc> inserts 20 spaces before = 0 goes back to first column 20l forward 20 column vf=hx deletes everything up to the = sign
Any lining up, alignment, etc - just leave it to Dr. Chip Campbell's Align.vim (search for it here)
I see a BIG drawback! What will it do in the following case?
int my_very_informative_variable_name = 0;
the result will be:
int my_very_informat= 0;
The correct way to solve this problem is to find the longest var in the list (selected lines) and align accordingly.
Some mappings and a python script for alignment. http://www.ophinity.com/code/wrangling/index.html#lineUp
- humans can understand python
- you need to have a python interpreter on your box
- it's not as sophisticated as dr. chips script
You can save a couple keystrokes without visual mode.
And a couple more by using the goto-column movement :help bar:
And finally, you can fire off something like
:11,32norm 0f=20i<Space><ctrl-v><Esc>d20|
to do this for a bunch of lines.
works well of you have softtabs set to use spaces. (Or using :retab)
This will align based on next tab columns. Neat enough for me.
Personally I'd shell out and use column for this, but obviously requires having column installed!!
:'<'>! column -ts=
Allow me to make a small but important modification to the last command:
:'<'>! column -ts= -o=
Otherwise, the "=" sign would be removed from the output. It's a very good replacement for the Tabularize plugin! At least for simple stuff like that.

[Adobe Creative Cloud: Audition CC] Adobe Audition CC has some really incredible, powerful tools for not only modifying, editing, remixing, noise reducing, and processing your audio, but also allowing you to take things like mono or stereo files and effectively perform what's known as a reversion to basically convert mono or stereo into a 5.1 listening environment. So essentially what you can do is you can take something that was recorded, which was never initially intended to be in 5.1, and split it apart and create a multichannel experience. Now I'm going to show you the basic technique for doing this, using an effect that we have in here, a process called the frequency band splitter. Now for those of you who have been with Audition for many years, you might remember that this was actually something that we had long, long ago. Well, I'm very happy to say that it's now back in Adobe Audition CC. It's even better, it's even more visually appealing, and it just allows you to some really cool things, and it also leverages a filter that you may remember called the Center Channel Extractor. So let's get started. So what I have here is an audio file. This happens to be stereo. This is one of my recordings from my soon-to-be-released children's music show entitled Just Play Music, available now in iTunes, and what I want to do is effectively take this stereo media and convert this into some kind of a 5.1 mix. Now again, I'm not expecting to separate guitars and violins in individual voices. I just want to take this stereo thing and split it apart and then control things like sub frequency, center channel information, and create a little bit more depth so that, if I'm watching it in 5.1, it's generally a bigger, wider, better experience. So the first thing I'm going to do is try and separate or isolate the center channel information, and for that I'm going to use the Center Channel Extractor. So if I come up to my Effects menu here, and I go into Stereo Imagery, you'll see that we have the Center Channel Extractor here. Now before I enable this, and this is in its default settings, we haven't changed anything just yet, let me go ahead and play for you the original mix as it is right now, without any extraction going on. [♪ music ♪] Okay, so you can hear what that sounds like. So now, by turning this on, I'm going to play this back, and again, actually I'll kick it in halfway there when I start singing, you're going to hear that it's basically going to isolate the center channel. This is the default setting, and you'll see if we go to our presets here, we've got things like Acapella, Amplify Vocals, Lift Vocals, or Vocal Removal. Now this is a whole other demonstration, this is a whole other video that I'll do for you later on. Right now, I'm going to use the default. Maybe we'll switch this to Acapella, but take a look to what this is doing. [♪ music ♪] Now what you can see is that effectively it's basically isolating most of what's in the center. Now when I recorded this, I actually sang it live with piano. So the piano's in the center. You're going to hear the piano. What's happening is by using these frequency ranges, you'll see that I can set the cutoff points so that it basically filters out all of the bass. It's currently out everything above around 10k, on top of focusing on everything that's in the center channel. You even have separate sliders here to set your side channel levels, and again increase your center channel level. Now if we go to something like the Acapella, let's take a listen to this one. [♪ music ♪] Okay. So the point of doing this is that basically I'm going to take the center channel and allow me to really control what's displayed in the center channel listening environment. Now we're going to have other variations of this to work with, you'll see in just a moment. Very quickly, though, I can say Apply. It's going to create the center channel version here. I'm just going to drop the amplitude. I'm going to copy this to a new file. And we'll go back to our original here, and I'm going to undo these changes, because we want our original stereo music intact. So now we have the center channel by itself. [♪ music ♪] And this is just going to give us a little more flexibility when we start moving things around in 5.1 space. So let me go ahead and save this, and we'll call this JaysonCenterOnly. And click OK. And inside my multitrack here, you see that I created a track called Center Vocal. I'm going to head and drop that one right in there. Now if it's time to start moving things around when we have all of our tracks, you'll see that we've got our multichannel panner here, and I can say, you know what, I don't want this in the front, left, and right. I want this discretely in the center. I can again make my center level 100%. I can actually enable or disable these accordingly. But again, we can start playing around with that in just a moment. So let's go back to the master edit here, and now we're going to go into Edit, Frequency Band, Splitter. And this is really where the magic happens, because now what you'll see is that we have the ability, we have up to eight different bands that we can select, and I can literally cut this file into independent frequency bands. Now if you go into the presets here, you'll see that we have a couple of different ones. The one that I want to focus on today is 5 Band Broadcast, and you'll see that down below, you can actually set your cutoffs for each of these individual files that it's going to create. So in terms of a 5.1 mix, where we're dealing with things like LFE, I want basically all of my sub information, which is typically 40 Hz and below, to be its own discrete file. And then I want some of that low frequency, 40 to 120 Hz, to be its own file. That's where you find a lot of things like, you know, bass guitar, and sort of fundamentals of snare drums—they're usually around 120 or 150 Hz— Again, these are all adjustable. Then we can go into our low mids, high mids, etcetera, etcetera. Again, you got up to eight bands that you can select here. We're going to use five. You can see visually, it's kind of showing you what's happening here. Again, if you want to adjust these, you can drag them simply by dragging like this, or you can drag the actual graphic. Click OK, and when you do that, very quickly you will see if you look inside of our Files panel here, that now we have all of these discrete files represented by these discrete frequency ranges. So we go ahead and select 0 to 40. Well, you can't really hear it, right? This is sub frequency information. But if you look at the frequency analysis graph, you can see that 40 Hz and below, this is your sub info. So what we've now done is we've created a sub track, an LFE track, that we can send discretely to the LFE. So all of that nice pumping, thumpy bass is only going there, and it's no longer going to those front speakers or the rear speakers or the center channel. Similarly, if we go to our 40 to 120, again, you're starting to hear a little bit more, but the idea now is that, once again, we have discrete control over this. Here's 120 to 3200. [♪ music ♪] Again, most of our sort of vocal fundamentals are going to be in that range. Here's 3200 to 7500 Hz. Okay, and this is where we can start to think about where do we want to place these frequencies in 5.1 space? Maybe add something like reverb or a little bit of ambience, just to give it a wider picture, a wider range to really open up this originally stereo file in 5.1 space. And then the last range here is our 7.5k to 22k. And what I like to do with this is this is the kind of stuff that I like to place in the rear speakers, in your surround channels, and then you just add a little bit of a reverb that echoes towards the front, and this is going to give you a very nice sort of wide open experience, and again you're going to feel that high frequency in the back of your head. It's just going to be really cool, really dynamic, and again, really open this file up. So now that we have all these individual files, what I can start to do is drag them into their associated tracks. So I've got my sub track here, I've got my left surround— Now again, we can choose where these things go. I named these like this. In fact, I don't know why I even use these names. Let's just go ahead and drag these files, and I'm going to rename them in just a second, so here's our 120 to 3200, here's our 3200 to 7.5k, and here's 7.5k to 22k. And—am I missing one? 0 to 120, okay, there's everything that we need. All right, so at this point now, we'll keep that as sub. We'll call this low freq. Mids. We'll call this mids. And we'll call this highs. Again, I'm not sure why I named those like I did. Doesn't matter. We're going to keep on moving. So at this point now, if I go into my mixer, I can go into something like my sub channel. I can go ahead and double-click this, and again, I'm going to click on LFE only, and if I'm looking at my multichannel meters down below, I go ahead and play this back. Let's go ahead and solo this track. Wind this ahead. What you should actually be able to see now, and we can increase the LFE level here, is that all of that bass frequency is now going discretely to the LFE channel. Okay, so now what I can do is, obviously, with our center channel voice, I want to place that discretely in the center channel. So what you can see that I've done here inside the Track panner is I've disabled my left and right. I have it focusing solely on the center. Nothing's going to the LFE, and, once again, if I play this back, if you look at your meters down below, you can see that that voice track, our discretely made voice track, is going solely to the center channel. And if we want to start and widen this and broaden it out and bring it to some of the other channels, we can do that too. But don't forget, you've also got vocals in some of those other tracks as well, like the front left and front right that we have here. So again, you can start to pan these around and do some very interesting things with these tracks, but ultimately, reversion mono or stereo to create a very interesting 5.1 mix. And taking that a step further, when you start adding things like effects, if we just go ahead and go into our Effects channel here, don't forget that we have our multichannel surround reverb, which gives you an enormous amount of control. You've got lots of presets here available to you to really customize and modify your sound and do some very interesting things with your audio, whether you're delivering this to Blu-ray or DVD, or on-air broadcast production.

Dollar General's nearly yearlong foray into tobacco sales already has started to pay off, with those customers now beginning to linger awhile and choose more than "a soda and a chip" if they buy something besides cigarettes, the Goodlettsville-based retailer reports.
The company announced last December that it would add tobacco products to all of its stores by the middle of this year, and so far the move is providing a big boost financially, Dollar General Chairman and CEO Richard Dreiling told analysts this week during a conference call to discuss the company's third-quarter financial results.
Tobacco products -- and the additional customer traffic they brought to the stores -- helped Dollar General boost its third-quarter sales 10.5 percent over the same period last year, to $4.4 billion, with comparable-store sales up 4.4 percent, the company reported.
"As we expected, the addition of tobacco products resulted in strong customer traffic growth throughout the quarter," Dreiling said.
"When we started the tobacco journey, one-third of our cigarette sales were by themselves, one-third were what we would call 'a smoke and a coke,' where they would grab a cigarette and maybe a soda or a chip," he said. "And then one-third is where the cigarettes were actually going into a basket that was beginning to grow."
But in the third quarter, 44 percent of cigarette shoppers bought more, and just 26 percent opted for tobacco alone, Dreiling said, adding, "So we're beginning to convert the cigarette customer into a shopper."
Dollar General's stock closed at $60.20 a share on Friday, close to the 52-week high of $60.25. The 52-week low was $39.73.
Dollar General told shareholders in its third-quarter financial report last year that it was moving into tobacco sales after trying them in a few stores, and said the move was precipitated in part by "competitive pressures." Rival Family Dollar Stores had already begun selling tobacco.
The company also noted that its core customers are more likely to smoke than the national average. Family Dollar began adding cigarettes to its stores in 2011, and has said that about a third of its customers are smokers, compared with less than 20 percent of the adult U.S. population overall.
Dollar General began testing tobacco sales in Nevada in 2011, and expanded the test to Florida early last year. The company found that the average purchase per customer was $14 when tobacco was included, versus an average of $11 otherwise.
Tobacco sales haven't increased profits by the same percentage as overall sales, though, as the margins on cigarettes and other tobacco products are lower than for many of Dollar General's other items, the company said. Still, third-quarter operating profit increased 8 percent, to $390 million or 8.9 percent of sales.
"The addition of tobacco products has had a significant impact on growth in our customer traffic, which I continue to believe is the most-important metric with regard to evaluating the success of our tobacco initiative," Dreiling said. "We're very pleased with the progress we made in building our market share in tobacco. Going forward, we expect both traffic and transaction size to build as customer awareness of tobacco products in our stores continues to grow."
The company recently also began testing gasoline sales at a Dollar General Market store in Alabama, and "so far, the store has surpassed our expectations," Dreiling said.
No plans have been made yet to expand gasoline availability, but he said the Alabama store is "pumping gas at the rate a convenience store would, so we're very, very pleased with what we're seeing."
Next year
Looking ahead to 2014, Tehle said the company plans to open about "650 new stores for the full year" and an additional 73 stores in the fourth quarter.
Dollar General opened its 11,000th store in October in Murfreesboro. It has added more than 3,000 stores since 2007, more than doubling its revenues.
The company signed an agreement in November to sell and lease back 233 of its stores.
"This transaction is expected to close in January, and result (in) net proceeds to us in excess of $200 million, said David M. Tehle, the company's executive vice president and chief financial officer. The proceeds will be used to repurchase company shares, he said.

San Francisco, Calif. – A San Francisco jury today cleared Recology, San Francisco's recycling and resource recovery provider, of all 154 allegations of filing false claims to the State of California in a lawsuit filed by a disgruntled former employee that claimed the company mischarged the State of California's recycling redemption program.
The same jury returned a verdict against the recycling company on one of the five separate allegations of filing a false claim to the City and County of San Francisco. This verdict, if it stands, claims the company wrongly benefited in the amount of $1,366,933. Recology disagrees with this finding and will appeal.
"We are thankful for the jury's determination that cleared Recology of 158 of the 159 allegations of false claims," said Sam Singer, a spokesman for Recology. "This is a resounding victory for our company and its employee-owners."
"Unfortunately, the complicated nature of this case has resulted in one finding against the company," he added. "We will be appealing the one verdict, as the facts simply do not support it."
Recology is an industry leader in recycling and resource recovery programs and has helped San Francisco become the greenest city in North America, diverting 80 percent of its waste away from landfill. Recology programs have been replicated throughout the country and serve as a national model for resource recovery initiatives.

WASHINGTON – Most music fans are content with buying their favorite artists' albums and going to their concerts.
But some have bigger dreams. They want to be in the band.
The Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp makes it possible for the average Joe to actually perform with real-life rock stars.
Located in Las Vegas, the camp offers several packages that include song writing and recording courses, performing at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino and jamming with famous musicians.
The camp even offers a corporate team-building program in which groups write and record a song about their company's products or message.
The main attraction is the three- or five-day camp program that features rock star counselors. Some of the artists associated with past programs include Roger Daltrey of the Who, Jack Bruce of Cream, John Popper of Blues Traveler and Gene Simmons of Kiss.
The three-day camp costs $6,999, but there are more affordable options available.
The "Rock Star for a Day" package starts at $299 and can include jam sessions with touring rock celebrities, recording sessions and autographed memorabilia.
Veteran rock producer David Fishof founded the Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp in 1997 and has even written a book about what companies can learn from the music industry.
Camp-goers are currently in session with Alice Cooper and Ace Frehley of Kiss.
Upcoming camps will feature Sammy Hagar and Def Leppard.

Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
What is the law?
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 states that:
"No otherwise qualified handicapped individual in the United States...shall, solely by reason of...handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."
Who is protected under the law?
A "handicapped person" means "any person who
- has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities;
- has a record of such an impairment, or
- is regarded as having such an impairment."
A "qualified handicapped person" is defined as one who meets the requisite academic and technical standards required for admission or participation in the postsecondary institution's programs and activities. Section 504 protects the civil rights of individuals who are qualified to participate and who have disabilities such as, but not limited to, the following:
- blindness or visual impairments
- cerebral palsy
- Chronic illnesses, such as:
- arthritis
- cancer
- cardiac diseases
- diabetes
- multiple sclerosis
- muscular dystrophy
- psychiatric disorders
- deafness or hearing impairments
- drug or alcohol addiction (Section 504 covers former users and those in recovery programs and not currently using drugs or alcohol.)
- epilepsy or seizure disorders
- mental retardation
- orthopedic handicap
- specific learning disability
- speech disorder
- spinal cord or traumatic brain injury
What is the impact of the law on postsecondary education?
Colleges and universities receiving federal financial assistance must not discriminate in the recruitment, admission, or treatment of students. Students with documented disabilities may request modifications, accommodations, or auxiliary aids which will enable them to participate in and benefit from all postsecondary educational programs and activities. Postsecondary institutions must make such changes to ensure that the academic program is accessible to the greatest extent possible by all student with disabilities.
Under the provisions of Section 504, universities and colleges may NOT:
- limit the number of students with disabilities admitted
- make preadmission inquiries as to whether or not an applicant is disabled
- use admissions tests or criteria that inadequately measure the academic qualifications of disabled students because special provisions were not made for them
- exclude a qualified student with a disability from any course of study.
- limit eligibility to a student with a disability for financial assistance or otherwise discriminate in administering scholarships, fellowships, internships, or assistantships on the basis of handicap.
- counsel a student with a disability toward a more restrictive career
- measure student achievement using modes that adversely discriminate against a student with a disability
- establish rules and policies that may adversely affect students with disabilities.

I found a dime in the bottom of my backpack, its silvery sheen concealed by a Three Musketeers wrapper and a handful of .22 shells.
I fished the dime out and flipped it into the ceramic dish that sits on the window sill next to the kitchen sink. This is the temporary resting place for most of our loose change, the pennies going in one dish, the larger denominations in a smaller one, and all of the currency afforded a pleasant view of the Eagle Caps on fair days.
Not long after — it might in fact have been the same day — I tossed a couple of soda cans into the trash can beneath the sink.
I thought nothing of this at the time.
But some days later, while I was standing at the sink, clutching a soapy sponge, I noticed, as though for the first time, the proximity of the coin dish and the trash can. I doubt there's more than four feet between the containers.
This revelation — it was very nearly an epiphany, actually — hit me in that powerful way unique to those instances when I realize the level of idiocy to which I am capable of descending.
I can't at any rate think of a more apt noun than idiot with which to brand a person who saves a dime but gets rid of two pop cans worth a nickel apiece.
The explanation is the same one I employ to excuse, however lamely, most of my lapses.
I'm lazy.
I don't mean always, but often enough that my shirking of various duties counts, it seems to me, as a significant flaw.
The thing is, saving the dime was easy.
But to get the same 10 cents from the soda cans I'd have had to find a sack to put them in and then drive two miles to the grocery store and then try to feed them into a machine that I'm pretty sure hates me.
Also I dislike groping around in sacks for beverage cans because each can inevitably retains a teaspoon or so of the liquid, and all of it spills on my hands. I used to work in a grocery store, and believe me there are few tasks as wretched as counting several hundred Old Milwaukee cans brought in by a heavy smoker who apparently owns no ash trays.
Anyway, this episode with the cans in my kitchen got me to thinking, in a broader sense, about recycling. In particular I pondered whether people who recycle religiously, including items such as milk jugs that lack a refundable deposit, are more responsible than I am, or just not so laggard.
There is, of course, no legitimate reason not to recycle everything you can.
The very notion of re-using something, of gleaning value from the same collection of molecules over and over, has about it the elegance that bathes in righteous light such technologies as wind and solar power.
Several people have told me they would recycle more if they could dump the stuff in a bin and wheel it out to the curb once a week, along with their non-recyclable trash.
A few people even claimed they have engaged in a sort of recycling sabotage — intentionally not recycling so as to drag down the county's recycling rate and, so the saboteurs hope, prompt the state to force Baker Sanitary Service to offer curbside recycling to its customers in Baker City.
I'm sure I would be a more dedicated recycler if I had a bin. The bin would demolish the laziness excuse that I depend on now, because it's just as easy to toss an aluminum can or a glass bottle into one receptacle as another.
My parents live in Salem, where curbside recycling is available, and their garbage can and recycling bin stand side by side in the garage, like a pair of particularly obedient plastic pets. Except for glass, you don't even need to separate the recyclables — the newspapers and the pizza boxes and the magazines share one container.
The remedy is not so simple as I've made it seem, though.
Curbside recycling is convenient, yet convenience carries a cost. I suspect quite a few people around here would willingly pay extra for the ease of curbside recycling, but I'm certain that others wouldn't, or couldn't.
Ultimately, of course, recycling is a personal matter rather than a compulsory one. This is as it should be.
Recycling is a fine and healthy thing to do. So is cutting back on red meat. But I'd not like to live in a place where someone told me what I had to do with my empty spaghetti sauce bottles, and how often I can eat steak.
None of this, unfortunately, justifies in any way my failure to recycle.
The recycling center is less than half a mile from my house. I don't even need a car to get the stuff over there.
What I ought to do is buy a wagon. I'd save gas and get in a nice little cardio workout in the bargain.
And I probably have enough change up on the window sill to make a deal on the wagon.

Simba SC are on the verge of being crowned Mainland Premier League champions, but face a tall order to win tomorrow's game and if Azam FC lose their game or obtain a draw.
The Msimbazi Street side host Moro United at the National Stadium while Azam FC welcome Mtibwa Sugar at Chamazi grounds, on the outskirts of the city.
Soccer fans will be pensive about the outcome of the two matches to see if the title race has ended or it continues.
A win for Simba and a loss or draw for Azam FC paves the way for the Msimbazi Street side to be crowned while they still have a match to go, against their archrivals Yanga. If Simba win and Azam lose the leaders will be tallying 59 points, beyond the reach of Azam.
Second-placed Azam with 50 points can only claim the title by winning all three remaining games, while Simba loses at least one of their two remaining games. If both teams win tomorrow's tie, Simba will need a draw in their prestige-laden clash with Yanga to take the title, even if Azam win their remaining games.
Simba will be in trouble if they lose one of their last two games and Azam win. If this occurs, ties on points and other rules will be applied to get the more deserving side to be crowned champions.
Azam FC are yet to play Mtibwa Sugar, Toto Africans and Kagera Sugar.

The Internal Revenue Service is extending tax payment deadlines for some individuals and businesses affected by Hurricane Irene.
The tax agency says the extensions will initially apply to taxpayers in certain counties in North Carolina, New Jersey, New York and Puerto Rico. It says the list of eligible taxpayers is expected to grow as the Federal Emergency Management Agency makes further damage assessments.
The tax relief allows businesses that had previously obtained extensions until Sept. 15 to file 2010 returns to wait until Oct. 31. Also given extensions until Oct. 31 are individuals and businesses required to file 2010 returns by Oct. 17 and those who normally would make third-quarter estimated tax payments by Sept. 15.

In his veto message, Gov. Paul LePage says Maine can't afford to expand the program, and can't trust federal promises of funds to cover the costs.
Maine Gov. Paul LePage has - for the third time - vetoed legislation that would have extended Medicaid to about 70,000 Mainers under the Affordable Care Act. The bill he vetoed Wednesday was a compromise brokered by Republican lawmakers.
In his veto message, LePage says Maine can't afford to expand the program, even though the federal government would pay the entire cost for three years, and 90 percent after that.
"The expansion offered through Obamacare would have a disastrous impact on Maine's budget, as well as those truly needy individuals, our disabled and elderly, who rely today on the scarce resources in our program," LePage writes.
LePage says the savings that supporters claim would result from the expansion are "merely mirages."
"It is shortsighted to think federal funds will always be available, especially after watching the federal deficit climb and witnessing continual delays and changes from Washington," he says.
While the veto came as no surprise, advocates for expansion are decrying the move. The Cover Maine Now Coalition, a group of 90 organizations advocating for expansion, says in a statement that it's "a sad day for the people of Maine."
"Gov. LePage has chosen ideology over the well-being of nearly 70,000 Mainers who are counting on the state to do the right thing and expand access to health care," says Sara Gagne-Holmes, executive director of Maine Equal Justice Partners.
