A controversial Tweet has given 107.7 The End reason to apologize to their followers.
UPDATE: The End's program director responds. Details after the jump.
A controversial Tweet has given 107.7 The End reason to apologize to their followers.
Yesterday, at 3:43 PM, someone logged on to alternative radio station 107.7 The End's Twitter account and posted this:
"Not all Muslims are terrorists--but nearly all terrorists are Muslims. Time to accept profiling America."The Twitterer then stuck around for the next two hours, defending his/her thoughts to some of The End's followers, before finally signing off:
"Cee ya. Until I get my own show."
By morning the comments had been deleted. In their place was this apology:
We abhor last nights twitter hacking. The End brand in no way condones the comments and apologizes. Pswrd & security measures changed.It's an interesting mea culpa. Especially since it brings up more questions than it answers.
As TechFlash reports, most of The End's senior staff is on vacation this week. And they have a yet-unanswered call into 107.7's ownership group Entercom attempting to parse the meaning of the word "hack."
Was it someone outside the radio station? Or was it an employee? And if so, who was it and what actions, if any, are being taken against them?
It's not as if this is a highly serious legal matter. It's just that, while 107.7's Twitter feed has expressed non-musical opinions before, this is the first time they've really gone after something so politically charged. And as social media blogger Kristy Bolsinger points out, the station's apology doesn't pass the smell test:
So. You were hacked. Really? REALLY? I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I actually believe this. If I am wrong, then I will be eating crow later and that's fine. It is what it is. I will say that everything about this feels wrong. Even if they were hacked I would expect to have heard something about it on their radio show this morning. Nope. I would have expected to see an apology on their blog. Nope.I've left two messages and an e-mail with employees at the station. I'll let you know what they say.
UPDATE: In an e-mail, program director Mark Kaplan confirms that the Twitter account was hacked.
We feel someone on the outside either grabbed an account left open or gained access to the password.I think the incredulousness of people like Bolsinger is a result of not understanding what a radio station looks like over the holidays. I don't say that to imply that I know. But I just talked to an employee who said they hadn't checked their e-mail in two weeks. Ya know, because that's not something you do when you're on an actual vacation.
We've taken a few extra precautions (changing passcode, immediate activity alerts) to hopefully blunt any attack like this again. If we learned one thing it's to eavesdrop more frequently during specialty pre-recorded programming between the holidays, weekends, etc.
It sounds like stations like 107.7 go on auto-pilot around Christmas to give their workers a break. Which means, if Kaplan is telling the truth, the unfortunate side-effect of this little incident is that those same people may not enjoy the same amount of off-the-grid living they could during past holiday seasons. Which just...sucks.

5 Places To Beat The Heat With A BabyRebekah Kuschmider
It's really freaking hot. We're supposed to see relief soon but you know that the cold front Al Roker is talking about is temporary. It'll get hot again in a few days and we'll all be back to sweating ourselves silly.
Heat and babies are a bad combo. I always worry that my daughter is going to overheat and get dehydrated if we stay outside too long. I ply her with water and fruit to keep her fluids up but I still don't like to spend long periods outdoors when the heat index gets up to 100 or better. (Sidebar: when the did the heat index become a thing? Is it like the wind chill of summer?). Not only to I worry about my kids in that kind of heat, I simply don't enjoy the sensation of sweat pooling in my bra. Yuck.
I've been making the rounds of cool spots to entertain my baby the past few weeks. Click through for 5 of my favorite ways to beat the heat with my baby!
5 Places To Beat The Heat With A Baby! 1 of 6
Click through for 5 of my favorite ways to beat the heat with my baby!
Mall Play Areas 2 of 6
I know, I know, these can be germ factories. But, they're also plenty of fun for a new walker who wants to run around. They're enclosed so it's hard for baby to escape and everything is down low to the ground. During summer camp hours, bigger kids are scarce so it's great fun for baby without the danger of being run over!

Libraries 3 of 6
The libraries in my area all have great kids sections with lots of toys and puzzles as well as books. Naptime usually conflicts with planned story times, which is a bummer, but libraries are still cool, fun places to go in summer.

Spray Parks 4 of 6
In my area, we have public fountains where kids can play and it's fun for both of my kids! I have to be ready to get wet since bigger kids are usually running all around so I need to stick close by my baby. But the cool spray feels good for everyone. Bonus: our favorite fountain is right by the fro-yo place!

Open Gym 5 of 6
Gymnastics studios around here do open gym time where you can pay a small fee and your kids can bounce around on the trampolines and other equipment. I've been doing this with my 5 year old for years and now the baby gets into it too. The place we go has equipment for kids of all ages and abilities so she can play on the mats while her brother bounces on the trampolines!

The Movies 6 of 6
Yes, really! Some theatres offer "Mom Matinees" where they show first run movies for grown-ups but keep the lights up and the sound low. I used to go with my son when he was an infant. No one cares if you nurse the baby or walk up and down the aisle to shush a fusser. It's great!

"DRIP" coffee maker
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM2160B Black 12-Cup Programmable
Pros: Few if any. When it works it does indeed make coffee, but an iron pot on a wood stove can make coffee too. I wanted a coffee maker to have a pot of coffee ready for me when I woke in the morning. Even when it was "working" it was really a gamble to see if the coffee would be waiting for me or not.
Cons: Carafe drips when trying to fill or pour coffee, like another reviewer said. Why did this need an all new design? The technology of a non drip lip has existed for thousands of years.
Other Thoughts: I can not for the life of me imagine what these people were thinking. Doesn't set reasonably, the timer is worse than unreliable, it doesn't pour without dripping, the safety features break, and that is only part of the list.

Carafe Spills Every Time
This review is from: Black & Decker DCM2160B Black 12-Cup Programmable
Pros: Programable brewing: Set it at night and wake up late
Cons: The problem I have is , the carafe can't pour into a cup without spilling.
Other Thoughts: If the Price is right for you and you dont mind making your coffe over the sink, Then Buy it.. But to be honest with you. I have had ones from tag sales that I picked up for a couple bucks that did not have this problem.

text: I dont like the gap between my nose and lip philtrum. I feel there quite a distance between them. I was wondering if using juvederm or restylane can be used to make the philtrum smaller. Would plumper lips shorten the gap between my nose and lips. Or are fillers not beneficial for this problem. If that the case is lip lift the only option for this problem, and is such procedure performed in the uk. Thank you.

A six-year prison sentence is no doubt derailing, but keeping a cool head has gotten Mystikal back on track, with a new record deal and album coming out on Cash Money Records.
"For six years, I was looking up. The only people that were under me were people that were deceased — that's kind of how you feel," the fiery New Orleans MC told "RapFix Live" host Sway Calloway on the show Wednesday (March 14). "To come home and be with the #1 rap label? Come on."
Mystikal describes the experience as humbling. His "Original" music video, featuring Lil Wayne and Birdman, has already clocked in more than 6 million views on WorldStarHipHop.
In 2004, the former No Limit Records star went to prison on charges of sexual battery, extortion and failing to file tax returns. He was released in 2010, and though he has been working on music ever since, his biggest news came in December when he officially announced his signing to Cash Money.
Going from behind bars to spitting bars alongside Lil Wayne is quite a feat. "The hardest part was making the transition from everything that I was doing to everything that I was able to do," the Tarantula said of his adjustment from rap star to inmate. "I kinda disconnected from the hip-hop scene, 'cause that was painful, man. To look at TV, like, I wasn't on there."
One of the rappers he would constantly see on the television: Weezy, of course. "That was one you couldn't avoid, that whole camp and Drake and Nicki," he said. "And the whole time, working it out like, 'That's where I'm going anyway.' "
Are you looking forward to Mystikal's upcoming Cash Money debut album? Tell us in the comments!

This last weekend the parish played host to Bishop Kozon of Copenhagen. The first thing you need to know about this gentleman, other than that his English is excellent, is that he's one of the most charming chaps you could hope to meet. He took the time to talk with anyone who came to him, showed interest in everyone, and was very unassuming in his manner and bearing. I approve.
Bp. Kozon came to baptise a young gent and confirm a whole bunch of people (six? eight?). All in the Tridentine Rite (which shouldn't have to be said, but you never know). Being a diocesan Ordinary, he of course offers Mass and confers other Sacraments in the Novus Ordo much of the time: it's rather special to have an Ordinary come and visit who's eager to offer Mass in the usus antiquor too – especially for Confirmation! We're very grateful (well, I say "we" mainly because saying "I" would have been too bolshy. I don't claim to speak for anyone else) to him for his flying visit.
One of our priests is Danish, and as if by magic a bunch of Danish men just…materialised over the weekend. I spent more time speaking English than Dutch (many thanks to my Dutch friends who didn't mind too much when my "Dutch" was even more Englishified than normal). Our other priest is Polish, and some of his family very kindly did a whole lot of cooking – 'twas enormously yummy. It was so much fun to meet all these new people! I hope they also enjoyed their stay.
All right. Time for some photos.
On Saturday we lined up outside the church to get ready for M's baptism. There was a lady with an enormous camera – you know, one of those ones that cost €200 with a lens on that cost €4000 – so I decided not to take any myself. Then one of the Parish Gentlemen With Authority sidled up to me, and very politely ordered me to take some photos and then send them to him afterwards. Not wanting to entertain the consequences, I obeyed. Yup, as a Catholic woman I'm just ordered around the place like chattel*.
So anyway – here we are. It was gloriously sunny (we've been blessed with lovely weather this weekend). I still wonder if he was nervous!
We started late. It's strange – you'd think a country like the Netherlands would be the kind of place where everyone busts a gut about getting to places on time, but it's not. Completely not.
The bishop & gang came out and it all began. I confess I wasn't following the booklet very closely; I know, I'm a language geek, but when there's stuff going on I want to just watch it.
At one point salt was placed on his tongue. My mind is FILLED with all kinds of comments I could make about this, but I could better hold my ton-, er, fingers.
All this hustle and bustle drew some curious passers-by, so I went onto the street to say hello and they promptly started interrogating me (as only Amsterdammers can ;)) as to what on Earth was going on, so I tried to explain as best I could. They were full of questions! About the "guy with the hat" and whether our church is "really just Catholic" (as opposed to the Utrecht Old Catholic gang, or the sedevacantists or something). Yes, I said, he's a normal (hehe!) Catholic bishop, our parish is just part of the diocese here like all the others, Rome says we're ok, and yes, we use liturgical rites from before the Second Vatican Council. And no, we're not weird (much).
Why do I keep talking about "we" and "us"? I'm just a girl in the pew.
And then there were the remarks about my mantilla; I figured a study of St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians wasn't quite suitable so I talked about being a woman and being appropriately dressed as such when in church; that it's not about covering something unworthy of being seen, but covering something because it's particularly precious and beautiful. And they all beamed (as only Amsterdammers can). One lady petted her little dog who was riding in the basket attached to the front of her bike. Others remarked on how young M was and how it's so Very Impressive to make such a decision to be baptised at that age. Och, valt mee hoor😉
Then the party disappeared inside, so I excused myself and followed them in.
I didn't get any good shots of the baptism itself, but at a certain point M emerged from the alcove where the baptismal font stands, clothed in his alb and carrying his candle! Fr. Kn decided that his cincture (is it called a cincture when it's not part of the (sacramental) priestly garments?) wasn't tied properly, and consequently re-tied it for M, who at one point looked as though he wasn't going to be able to draw breath anymore! But I doubt he would have really noticed, and anyway, we were all too busy giggling and smiling from ear to ear and generally being super super happy for him (and us!).
At this point I had Rite Envy. I was baptised as an infant and I'm pretty sure I didn't get all this awesome Latin prayed over me. I'm equally sure I didn't get salt on my tongue. Who knews what my verbal skills would have been like if I had! I might have been eloquent and stuff!
All right. The next morning dawned bright and clear and SUNNY (again)! I was at church early so as to get ready. And take photos. I'm always taking photos. Well all right, not always. In the same way as I'm not always talking. Sometimes I sleep….😛
Anyway. Photos from Sunday! There are lots and I'm not going to put them all up, not least because I'll get a sound telling-off from some people. Tsssssk, Dutchies. I love them and all, but sometimes they're so stuck-up. Bless 'em.
Here are a few pictures before everyone started arriving and the arrgh-is-everything-ready quotient inside my head skyrocketed. First of all – high altar set up for the bishop's vesting. With two mitres! Just like it says in Fortescue!
Passiontide has begun, and as such, everything's veiled:
We also have a new tabernacle. I think a benefactor bought it and gave it to the parish, whereupon Fr. Kn spent some time doing it up.
The bishop & gang arrives:
After having prayed before the Blessed Sacrament in another chapel (at least I think that's what he was doing – evidently I haven't studied my Fortescue well enough) he was brought onto the sanctuary, where the REST of the gang had appeared as if from nowhere! Pfff! But they probably just came from the sacristy when the rest of us were looking the other way gawping at His Lordship.
He was vested for Confirmation and then they all set off for the altar.
And then it was time for him to be vested again, this time for Mass. This was wonderful to watch! I'd read about it, the rubrics, the prayers, who had to be standing where holding what waiting for whom, and now it was happening right there. My favourite bit when reading, the part I was looking forward to the most, was the bit with the episcopal gloves. As so often is the case, however, there's a (sub)deacon in the way to block my view😀 So here's a photo of just a moment before the engloving. By this point the poor Apostle had, on top of the cassock and surplice (or did he take that off and put on an alb in its place?) he came in with, an amice, tunicle and a dalmatic on. I didn't want to think about what happened with all the stoles and stuff. And perhaps we're all grateful he didn't have to have his shoes and socks put on too.
All right, time to skip on. An epistle! This is one of my favourite photos of the whole weekend, and I have no idea why.
I'd met the subdeacon the evening before, after M's baptism. He's a riot. I mean that in a good way.
I didn't take any photos at the Gospel. Clean forgot. Too busy trying to listen and translate Latin on the fly.
Check out the vestments we had! All right, they're not all part of the same set. But look at what the deacon's got on – it's like God Is Watching You, Even When His Clergy Are Otherwise Engaged.
We had sunbeams.
Almost done. We just about survived. No major breakdowns. No major hiccoughs in the singing (mea culpa…). And just about everyone who came in with a hat has got it back….
Bishop & Gang trooped out into the sunshine…about two hours after coming in. Time is suspended during Mass, I'm sure. There is time, but it's not the same time that we normally have. I'm sure that made an enormous amount of sense!
We were all singing Attende, Domine, and then I hot-footed it outside (I was in, ah, 'choir dress' – all black, with a black mantilla on, with black sunglasses and a black camera. I don't know what kind of impression I might have made on any delicates present :-P). Very obligingly, the whole pack were standing there for my fellow papparazzi and I to arrive. It's almost like they WANT us to take their photo😉 I asked what the Danish word for "cheese" was, but the Dutchies scowled at me and told me not to be so frivolous in the presence of a vested bishop (still with five dozen layers on). Seeing that they were going to insist on looking Appropriately Solemn…
And then we camera-pushers declared that we'd had our fill, the at ease was declared, and (most of) the gents could relax a little:
And that was…just about that! It seemed a bit surreal to me that it was all over. But there's only so much high ceremonial even a Brit can take on a Sunday morning.
People trickled out of church after having made their thanksgivings. It became a bit of a reunion: a chap looked at me and exclaimed, "I know you!!" Indeed he did; approximately an age ago, he and I were on retreat together in a different part of the country. Happily he's moved and I can expect to see him at St. Agnes' more often.
A non-Catholic friend of mine who had asked to come along to Mass emerged into the sunlight and we sat on the steps and yacked and I introduced her to some pals. Fatigue began to set in, and so after a cup of coffee (why did I have one and not three?), I went up and had lunch with some other folks. I have all of one photo of this event – at which I made new acquaintances, laughed a lot, was complimented (!), and thwarted an attempt by a random Pole to kidnap my camera – but because a friend of mine's in it who is a bit uneasy about being online, you'll all have to guess at the face the bishop was pulling at the moment I snapped it
So that was our Passion Sunday. God is good! Please pray for our newly Confirmed, for our priests, for our parish at St. Agnes', and in thanksgiving for the mercies and blessings Onze Lieve Heer gives us every day. Deo gratias!
*If you believed that, you haven't met me😛

When my bawdy friend Simcha asked which costume idea I liked bettersexy cupcake or Kim Basinger's character in My Stepmother is an Alien , it
When my bawdy friend Simcha asked which costume idea I liked bettersexy cupcake or Kim Basinger's character in My Stepmother is an Alien, it was a no-brainer; Celeste Martin, obviously. Leave the dopey "sexy" costumes to the prudes. Halloween should be about three thingsimagination, spookiness, and candy. Instead, it's turned into an excuse for normally uptight women to wear ridiculous storebought costumes simply because they show a little flesh.
Most slutty Halloween costumes are the sartorial equivalent of the cosmo-fueled girl-on-girl makeout at the sports bar: false advertising and an obvious ploy for attention. I mean, is anyone worth knowing going to be attracted to a woman dressed as Naughty Nemo? There's nothing wrong with whoring up a Pixar production, but a fish? Nemo's not even a chick fish.
There are plenty of ways to look sultry, yet also accord Halloween the respect it deserves. For example, Elvira or Vampirasexy and spooky. Dressing (undressing?) like the blue broad in Avatar) would definitely be hot. That goes double if you're brave enough to cover yourself in blue bodypaint. But randomly tarting anything from a firefighter to a mental patientjust lame.
Of course this might all seem slightly hypocritical when you hear about my minxish costume. I'll be the white-faced redhead at the bar, yapping at the ghoul in a leisure suit. That's rightZombie Mrs. Roper.

If Caravaneer 2?
I honestly would love to see a Caravaneer 2, or a game that is in the same exact style. I loved this game, the long runs to get enough money to finally buy that freakin' gun, and eventually to get a vehicle and start hauling your crap over huge distances. But once you get a speedy transport, it does get way too quick, money shoots up like crazy and you start raking in the cash. So if a second game was made, balancing it out so that it isn't too easy later on and it keeps it's difficulty would be good. The enemies constantly get tougher, so the battles are like that, but once you have a ton of money it's just not as fun. I liked struggling to keep my technology up to date with the bandit's armory.

PetroQuest Energy Announces Significant Offsetting Discovery At Its La Cantera Prospect And Updates Operating Activities
LAFAYETTE, La., Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PetroQuest Energy, Inc. (NYSE: PQ) announced today a discovery at its Broussard Estates #2 well within the La Cantera prospect area located in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The well has reached total depth of 19,150 feet and logged approximately 310 net feet of pay in the Cris R Massive objective. Casing has been set to protect the logged interval and completion activities are ongoing. The Company has an approximate 17% net revenue interest in the well. The previously announced Thibodeaux #1 discovery well logged approximately 248 net feet of productive pay and has produced approximately 3 Bcf of gas and 170,000 barrels of liquids since being placed on-line in late March 2012.The Broussard Estates #2 well's primary target, the Cris R Massive, was encountered 194 feet higher on structure compared to the Thibodeaux #1 discovery well. In addition to the 310 net feet of confirmed pay, the well encountered over 200 gross feet of potential pay above and below the primary objective. The Company is evaluating the core and log data relative to these reservoirs to determine the potential for additional wells to accelerate development of the La Cantera structure. The Company will utilize its existing La Cantera processing facilities and expects first production from the Broussard Estates #2 well to commence in mid-September. In addition, the Company is currently participating in a 3D survey over its Thunder Bayou prospect located approximately two miles north of La Cantera within the same regional structural complex and fault system. The Company expects to spud this potentially high impact well (WI – 34%) during the second quarter of 2013, after evaluating the seismic data. In northern Oklahoma, the Company has completed drilling operations on its first five wells in the Mississippian Lime program in Pawnee County and has established production from its initial two Mississippian Lime wells: PQML #1 (NRI – 41%) and PQML #2 (NRI – 36%). These two wells achieved maximum 24 hour gross rates of approximately 320 Boe (81% oil) and 661 Boe (71% oil), respectively. The Company has three wells in various stages of completion in Pawnee County with several additional wells waiting on completion in Pawnee and Kay Counties. The Company is testing multiple reservoir fracture and stimulation processes, as well as different artificial lift options, to optimize oil production and fluid recovery. The Company currently has one operated rig working in each of Kay and Pawnee Counties and a non-operated rig working in Grant County. In total, the Company expects to drill 15-20 gross wells in the trend during 2012. Since the end of the first quarter, the Company has acquired an additional 2,600 net acres in the Mississippian Lime, primarily in Kay County, bringing the Company's total acreage position in the trend to 27,000 net acres. In the Woodford, the Company recently initiated production from seven additional operated Woodford wells from the liquids rich section of its acreage position. This group of wells had an average lateral length of approximately 4,700 feet and achieved an average maximum 24 hour gross rate of approximately 2,300 Mcf per day and 350 barrels of NGLs per day. The Company estimates current net daily production from its Oklahoma properties is approximately 42,000 mcf of gas and 600 barrels of natural gas liquids. The Company is currently completing eight wells in the liquids rich portion of the trend, and continues to run two rigs in this area. With the latest wells brought on-line, the Company has now drilled and completed in excess of 100 gross operated horizontal Woodford wells. In East Texas, the Company recently initiated production from its sixth operated horizontal Cotton Valley well (NRI - 39%). The well achieved a maximum 24 hour gross rate of approximately 6,008 Mcf of gas and 504 barrels of natural gas liquids. In addition, the Company's seventh (WI – 50%) and eighth (WI – 100%) operated horizontal Cotton Valley wells are expected to begin completion operations this week. In South Texas, the Company has reached total depth on two operated Eagle Ford Shale wells, PQEF #4 (NRI -35%) and PQEF #5 (NRI - 35%) in La Salle County. The Company is currently completing these two wells with first production expected later this month. Management's Comment "Our second well at our La Cantera prospect has exceeded our expectations and with potential new pay sands discovered, we have likely created additional drilling opportunities for 2013 and beyond," said Charles T. Goodson, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. "We have put together an asset base, that when combined with the benefits from our joint venture, provides us with the flexibility to develop natural gas, oil or liquids rich gas, even in a low price environment. We are excited about our initial Mississippian Lime wells as we continue to experiment with different completion and artificial lift techniques. With early success on the eastern portion of our acreage position, we believe our Mississippian Lime program provides us with a platform to significantly enhance our liquids production profile going forward." About the Company PetroQuest Energy, Inc. is an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition and production of oil and natural gas reserves in the Arkoma Basin, Wyoming, Texas, South Louisiana and the shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico. PetroQuest's common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PQ.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Darden Restaurants reports quarterly results before the bell Thursday. Nike and Carnival Cruise Lines are also set to report. TheStreet's Jim Cramer makes a taper play.
Good morning from the Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square. Today is Thursday, December 19th, I'm John Marino for TheStreet. One quick breaking out in right now, Facebook is starting the day down about five points I'm told as Mark Zuckerberg is readying a stake sale of more than two billion dollars worth of stock. Now
this hour US futures are down slightly as after-markets roared back to life in a positive response to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's decision to begin tapering its bond-buying program.
And overseas markets also soared as investors took the taper decision in stride. Taking a look at specific indices right now, the FTSE is up about a point midday, the DAX 100 about one and four tenths points midday. Midday for the CAC 40 up one and a third points, and the Nikkei once again posting a strong close and a new high, up 1.7 percent.
Getting us started here on the Nasdaq wall, Darden Restaurants is off to a big start this morning up about two points heading into the open. The operating dining franchises including Olive Garden is set to report earnings before the bell this morning and expectations are for twenty cents per share, that's compared to earnings of 26 cents a share this time last year. Darden stock is already about eighteen percent so far this year.
And also set to report earnings today is Nike, the stock is up about 52 percent so far this year. Expectations are for fifty eight cents a share compared to fifty seven cents a share this time last year. Jim Cramer is a recent buyer of Nike stock. Numbers are coming out this afternoon after the close.
And another stock to watch today is Carnival Corp. Carnival had a rough year to start with when one of its ships spent days stranded on the Gulf of Mexico and the stock is up less than a point in 2013. Earnings are coming out this morning and Carnival is expected report a break-even quarter compared to earnings of 13 cents a share this time last year.
Our Action Alerts pick coming from Jim Cramer this morning is Emerson Electric. This is a long term taper play for Jim, doesn't see the bond market pricing in a pullback anytime soon. Cramer saying he views the dovish Fed forecast as positive for any non-residential construction. He's again buying to Emerson. Shares here up about 20 percent so far this year.
That's a wrap for us but be sure to track breaking news and analysis all day at thestreet.com. We'll also have Cinta's earnings after the close today. I'm John Marino, have a great day.

In this paper we formulate three classes of optimization problems: the simple, monotonically constrained, and bounded Cong-He (CH)-programs. We reveal the dominance property under the local refinement (LR) operation for the simple CH-program, as well as the general dominance property under the pseudo-LR operation for the monotonically constrained CH-program and the extended-LR operation for the bounded CH-program. These properties enable a very efficient polynomial-time algorithm, using different types of LR operations to compute tight lower and upper bounds of the exact solution to any CH-program. We show that the algorithm is capable of solving many layout optimization problems in deep submicron iterative circuit and/or high-performance multichip module (MCM) and printed circuit board (PCB) designs. In particular, we apply the algorithm to the simultaneous transistor and interconnect sizing problem, and to the global interconnect sizing and spacing problem considering the coupling capacitance for multiple nets. We use tables precomputed from SPICE simulations and numerical capacitance extractions to model device delay and interconnect capacitance, so that our device and interconnect models are much more accurate than many used in previous interconnect optimization algorithms. Experiments show that the bound-computation algorithm can efficiently handle such complex models, and obtain solutions close to the global optimum in most cases. We believe that the CH-program formulations and the bound-computation algorithm can also be applied to other optimization problems in the computer-aided design field

Two men pleaded innocent to heroin distributionFebruary 08,2013Two men deny heroin charges
BRATTLEBORO Two men pleaded innocent at criminal court in Brattleboro on Thursday for allegedly distributing heroin in the greater Brattleboro area.
Joshua Hartwell, 25, of Brattleboro and Julio Davila, 32, of Holyoke, Mass. were subjects of a three-month investigation by the Vermont Drug Task Force, according to Matt Birmingham of the Narcotics Investigation Unit said. Hartwell and Davila were arrested on Wednesday during a traffic stop on Interstate 91 in Dummerston.
Hartwell and Davila were each charged with selling, trafficking and possession of heroin. Hartwell is being held on $10,000 bail and Davila $100,000 because of an active arrest warrant for unrelated charges, a criminal court clerk said.
Status conferences for Hartwell and Davila have not been determined. The Windham County States Attorney Office is prosecuting this case.MORE IN This Just In

Recent announcements indicate that DVD-Audio may soon emerge as a set of standards. Assuming that a DVD-Audio disc is not backward-compatible with CD players, but will play on the new DVD player (with DVD-Audio update) you just bought, how much would you spend for the special discs?
We've all got to start somewhere, and audiophiles often begin with the guidance of someone close to them. Tell us who it was and how it happened.
It is often claimed that high-end audio is a rich person's pursuit, while others feel that prices are secondary to careful selection and the right attitude.
The rule of thumb has historically been to spend more on your speakers than on the rest of your equipment. But audiophiles have found that every part of a system requires attention. Where have you ended up?
Here's the first joke to get you started:
Q. How many audiophiles does it takes to change a light bulb?
A. One, and 33-1/3 to explain the superiority of candles. (Thanks to Bryan Stanton)
OR
A. Three: one to do it and two to discuss how the old bulb was better with this particular socket and wiring system.

OR (from Kal Rubinson)
A. One, but he has to stand on TipToes to do it.

Audio systems can often be a synergistic challenge, with a delicate balance of every component in the chain. Reader Al Marcy submitted this question, which gets at the heart of the audiophile life.
Audio technology marches on, but reader Dave Brown wonders: Does it always increase your enjoyment of music without decreasing your bank account?
Many audiophiles spend thousands on state-of-the-art audio equipment, but does it really put you in the room with the performers?
With the single-ended triode resurgence of recent years causing much debate about tubes vs. transistors, what has been your experience?
With the proposed DVD-Audio format comes the opportunity for multiple channels of high-quality sound. But would you even consider adding more speakers to your two-channel system?

Proctor: 'I have nothing to add to this Kafka-esque fantasy'
Former Tory MP Harvey Proctor has said he is assisting police with its enquiries but continued to deny being part of a "rent boy ring".
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Midlands have been searching his home, which is located within the grounds of Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, as part of an investigation into historical child sex claims.
Earlier in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Mr Proctor denied attending sex parties with other MPs in the 1970s and 1980s and said he knew nothing of an alleged VIP paedophile ring in Westminster.
Addressing the media later, Mr Proctor continued to deny the allegations saying: "I have nothing to add to this Kafka-esque fantasy".
Ex-MP 'not part of rent-boy ring'
Former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor has denied being part of a "rent-boy ring" or attending sex parties with other prominent figures, after his Leicestershire home was searched by police investigating historic allegations of child sex abuse.
Mr Proctor - who left Parliament in 1987 after pleading guilty to acts of gross indecency - said he knew nothing about a VIP paedophile ring alleged to have existed at Westminster during the 1970s and 1980s, or allegations that three boys linked to the abuse were murdered.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I find myself in a very Kafka-esque fantasy situation.
"The police have said basically that they are investigating historical sex abuse allegations going back to the 1970s and 1980s.
"I have never attended sex parties at Dolphin Square or anywhere else. I have not been part of any rent-boy ring with Cabinet ministers, other Members of Parliament or generals or the military.
"I conducted my private life in a discreet manner. It wasn't I who outed myself, it was the press who did an assortment of things to out me.
"I was a discreet person and regarded in the House of Commons as a very independent MP and a loner. The last thing I would have dreamed of doing was talking to other MPs or ministers or anyone else about my private life. It wasn't that I was ashamed of being a homosexual, it was that I didn't think it mattered a damn to the work I did on behalf of my constituents."
Mr Proctor said he was keen to be interviewed by police as soon as possible to clear his name.
"The police wish to interview me," he said. "They talked in terms of that interview taking place in a matter of weeks. I asked for that interview to take place at the earliest opportunity."
Officers are investigating allegations that three boys linked to the alleged ring were murdered.
Mr Proctor represented Basildon in Essex from 1979 to 1983 and Billericay, also in Essex, from 1983 to 1987. He also sat on the executive of the right-wing pressure group the Monday Club.
Ex-Tory MP's home searched in child sex investigation
The home of former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor is being searched by police investigating historical allegations of child sex abuse.
Detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Midland are carrying out the search of his home, which is located within the 16,000-acre grounds of Belvoir Castle near Grantham, Leicestershire.
Proctor, 68, works for the Duke and Duchess of Rutland, who live on the estate with their five children.
A Met Police spokesman said he "can confirm officers from Operation Midland are carrying out a search of an address in Grantham in connection with their inquiries".
Ryan Smith's first steps captured on family video
A teenager who was badly injured in a cycling accident has taken his first steps.
Ryan Smith from Skegness suffered a serious brain injury after the accident in July 2013. He was not wearing a cycling helmet. Since then his family has campaigned to make it compulsory for children to wear them.
This weekend, Ryan took his first steps, without the help of a frame to support him, progress the teenager says he is proud of.
Police release images after 55 cars are damaged in one street
Police have released an image of a man they want to speak to after 55 cars were damaged on a Grantham street.
The spate of crimes started in October, when 20 cars were scratched on Huntingtower Road, quite near the station. Then, on Christmas Eve, another 13 cars were targeted, some for the second time.
Then, between December 30 and January 3, another 22 cars were damaged.
Whoever is responsible is believed to have caused up to £35,000-worth of damage. It's though that all the crimes were committed by a man walking up and down the street between 1am and 2am, scratching the paintwork on cars with an implement of some kind.
Police resume search for missing pensioner
Specialist search teams have resumed their search around Grantham for missing pensioner Jack Foster.
The 83-year-old has not been seen since Tuesday afternoon when the last sighting of him was just after 2.30pm in the town's bus station.
Lincolnshire Police say they don't know whether he got on a bus or not, but are appealing for anyone who may have seen him on Tuesday afternoon to contact them.
Police are also renewing their appeal for people in the North Grantham area to check their sheds and outbuildings for anything to suggest that somebody may have stayed there, or to hear from anyone who may have offered Jack a lift.

Show transcribed image text We wish to transmit 60 voice-band signals by SSB (upper-sideband) modulation and frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). Each of the 60 signals has a spectrum as shown in Figure P-3.24. Note that the voiceband signal is band limited to 3 kHz. If each signal is frequency translated separately, we require a frequency synthesizer that produces 60 carrier frequencies to perform the FDM. On the other hand, if we subdivide the channels into L groups of K subchannels each, such that LK = 60, we may reduce the number of frequencies from the synthesizer to L + K. Illustrate the spectrum of the SSB signals in a group of K subchannels. Assume that a 1 kHz guard band separates the signals in adjacent frequency subchannels and that the carrier frequencies are fc1 = 10 kHz,fc2 = 14 kHz,..., etc. Sketch L and K such that LK =60 and L + K is a minimum. Determine the frequencies of the carriers if the 60 FDM signals occupy the frequency band 300-540 kHz, and each group of K signals occupies the band 10 kHz to (10 + 4K) kHz.
