Acoustical Doppler effect analysis—Is it a valid method?83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395977View Description Hide Description
The Doppler effect approach is a powerful tool used in various areas of physics to analyze motion in a wave field, by observing the frequency shifts of scatteredwaves. In acoustics, Doppler effectanalysis is used for diagnostics in biomedical systems and for industrial applications, e.g., in cases where scatterers are present in moving fluids. The theoretical models used to analyze such systems usually ignore the fact that the moving ambient medium might produce effects of the same order of magnitude as the scatterers themselves. It has even been argued that in certain circumstances such effects should completely cancel the Doppler frequency shifts. A model is developed here that contributes to our understanding of the scattering in the presence of moving objects and space‐ and time‐dependent moving media. The model is restricted to irrotational flows, neglects velocity effects except of the first order in the Mach numberv/c, and assumes slow variations in the ambient medium. These restrictions facilitate the analytical discussion of specific canonical problems. The present study indicates that Doppler effects can be produced by moving scatterers in a medium at rest, scatterers at rest in a moving medium, and in configurations in which combined motion of scatterers and media take place. The Doppler effects are of the same order of magnitude in all cases. This vindicates the simple models used for research and applications, which assume that the moving objects produce Doppler effects but neglect the flow of the surrounding medium.
The scattering of ultrasonic waves by multiphase polycrystals83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395978View Description Hide Description
The theory of ultrasonic propagation in single‐phase polycrystals presented in previous articles [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 7 2, 1021–1031 (1982); 7 3, 1160–1163 (1983)] is generalized to calculate the scattering coefficients and phase and group velocities of plane compressional and shear waves in multiphase polycrystals. The analytical calculation was done for macroscopically isotropic materials with phases of cubic, hexagonal, or orthorhombic single‐crystal symmetry in second‐order perturbation theory using the assumption that the relative mean quadratic deviation of the wavenumbers in the polycrystal considered from its homogeneous isotropic approximation is small. Numerical evaluation is carried out for a two‐phase material of α‐ and γ‐Fe.
The effect of windowing on spectral estimation of echoes scattered by a random medium83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395979View Description Hide Description
In executing spectral analysis of echoes scattered by a random medium, a window is generally applied to an echo signal. Spatial resolving power to characterize the random medium is improved by shortening the window length. But it is difficult to shorten the window length arbitrarily since, in the conventional method, the shorter the window length, the more severely the spectrum is distorted. This article shows that the spectrum distorted by the window can be expressed as a convolution of the spectrum of echoes that would be obtained from a spatially truncated thin layer of the random medium with the spectrum of the window function. Consequently, it can be corrected by a deconvolution operation, and by the fact that the spectral estimation over a wide frequency range can be carried out even using a window of shorter length. The effects of the deconvolution are first demonstrated by computer simulation where a random signal is used as the echo signal. The effects can be seen more clearly in the measurement of attenuation coefficient slope obtained by the ratio of two spectra that are subjected to different attenuation. Finally, the applicability of this method is shown by the experiments where the attenuation coefficient slope of an agar block is measured using the window of various lengths.
On the nonobservance of nonspecular bounded beam reflection effects of Lamb modes83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395980View Description Hide Description
Reflection and transmission effects are investigated for angles of excitation of Lamb waves that are near the longitudinal critical angle. It will be shown that, for this particular angle, the coupling at the interfaces liquid/solid/liquid is such that the leaky‐surface‐wave‐radiation effect does not occur because of the weak coupling between the two media. This result affects only the symmetrical Lamb modes S i (i≠0).
A reanalysis of the acoustic scattering from elastic spheroids83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395981View Description Hide Description
The elastic response of fluid‐loaded, elastic spheroids to an end‐on incident acoustic wave is analyzed for a variety of aspect ratios and material properties. The focus of this analysis is the nature of the elastic excitations of the target, and, to a lesser extent, the nature of the inelastic background. It is concluded that the low k L/2, resonant response of the target is closely related to a bar wave, propagating at nearly one and one‐half times the shear speed at low frequencies and that the rigid body solution with recoil is the appropriate background choice for all materials. Bistatic scattering calculations are also studied, and it is concluded that the lobe structure of the elastically reradiated signal cannot be used to characterize a resonance without a p r i o r i knowledge of the target. The results contradict recent, but more phenomenologically oriented, studies.
Reflection characteristics of an elastic slab containing a periodic array of circular elastic cylinders: P and S V wave analysis83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395982View Description Hide Description
The reflection and transmission characteristics of circular elastic cylinders arranged periodically in an elastic slab are examined. A simple approach synthesized from Fourier–Bessel expansions and the T‐matrix method has been used for the analysis of a two‐dimensional problem involving P and S Vwaves. The computed results are of importance in gratingtheory as well as in noise control, although the procedure given is restricted to only the low‐frequency regime.
Experimental study of the Stoneley wave at a plane liquid–solid interface83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395983View Description Hide Description
Some of the properties of the Stoneley wave at a plane liquid–solid interface are reviewed after having deduced them from the general ones of evanescent plane waves. A liquid wedge method of generation of this wave is presented, and the predicted properties are verified.
Characterization of guided waves propagating in infinite cylinders for oblique insonification83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395930View Description Hide Description
The present study confirms that in oblique incidence, leaky guided waves propagate in isotropic elastic cylinders. The various longitudinal and flexural modes of propagation are characterized by phase velocity dispersion curves. From leaking properties and resonance effects, the frequency dependence of phase velocity is experimentally measured in case of an infinite stainless‐steel cylinder for values of the dimensionless parameter k a<15. The plots, which are limited to the flexural modes (n=1, m=1–6) and to the longitudinal modes (n=0, m=1–4), are compared to the theoretical calculations based on the Pochhammer–Chree frequency equation.
Spherical‐wave scattering by a finite‐thickness solid plate of infinite lateral extent, with some implications for panel measurements83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395931View Description Hide Description
The solution to the problem of the interaction of a spherical wave with a homogeneous and isotropic solid plate of infinite lateral extent, but finite thickness, is considered theoretically. Both the source and the plate are immersed in an infinite, inviscid fluid. Appropriate boundary conditions are imposed on the full three‐dimensional elasticityequations. The solution is evaluated numerically for a variety of materials for a 1‐kHz incident spherical wave and for a 5‐kHz incident spherical wave. For the numerical study, the fluid medium is taken to be water. Under certain conditions, ''overpressures'' are predicted for both the reflected and transmitted fields (i.e., the amplitude of the reflected pressure and/or the transmitted pressure can exceed the maximum value of the amplitude of the incident pressure on the plate surface). These overpressures are consistent with the law of conservation of energy in the sense that, for a plate composed of lossless material, the total incident power is found to be equal to the sum of the total reflected power plus the total transmitted power. An important conclusion of this research is that the practice of attempting to reduce the influence of edge diffraction in panel tests by using samples of increasingly larger lateral extent may result in measurements that are substantially corrupted by wave‐front curvature effects, particularly if the sample panel includes a steel backing plate.
Mathematical model for internal ultrasonic inspection of cylindrically layered structures83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395932View Description Hide Description
An efficient numerical model is described for predicting the pulse‐echo response of an ultrasonic transducer insonifying a cylindrically layered medium from the inside. A rigorous 3‐D formulation of the problem is first developed. Reduction to an approximate but computationally much more efficient form is accomplished based on several general assumptions regarding the geometrical properties of the transducer and the cylindrically symmetric layered medium. Within these constraints, the model accurately accounts for diffraction, attenuation, and dispersion in the interior immersing fluid and for reflection from the multilayered annular region that may contain strong internal resonances. Calibration of the temporal response of the transducer and associated measurement electronics is an integral part of the model, which is formulated using reciprocity relations for cylindrical coordinates. The principal application for the model is the ultrasonic internal inspection of pipes.
Active cancellation of noise in a liquid‐filled pipe using an adaptive filter83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395933View Description Hide Description
An experimental study of active attenuation of sound in a liquid‐filled pipe is reported. The pipe was connected to a ''noise'' source at one end and opened into a large liquid reservoir at the other. A sound source for active cancellation purposes was located midway between the two extremities. A cancellation signal to drive the active source was generated by a digital, adaptive filter from hydrophones located in the duct and reservoir. The reduction in noise level was measured at the exit of the pipe into the reservoir and at selected locations in the reservoir. Sound attenuations in the 20‐dB range were observed.
The propagation constant in lossy circular tubes near the cutoff frequencies of higher‐order modes83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395934View Description Hide Description
The propagation constants of higher‐order modes in lossy circular ducts are investigated with particular interest to the frequency range around the corresponding cutoff frequencies. The analytic expressions for the propagation constants published up to now contain poles at each cutoff frequency. In this article, it is shown that no poles exist. The transition between the frequency range of evanescent and propagating modes is rapid but continuous. An explicit formula for the propagation constant is derived. The theory is experimentally checked with an indirect measuring method that is able to give results in close vicinity to the cutoff frequencies. The measured attenuation due to the transmission line losses is partially somewhat higher than theoretically expected. The deviations are less than about 30%.
Some closed‐form solutions of the impedance inverse problem83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395935View Description Hide Description
The time‐domain modified Gelfand–Levitan (MGL) integral equation is solved in closed form for the recovery of acoustical impedance logs from a class of reflection seismograms. The MGL method is compared with usual Gelfand–Levitan (GL) inverse scattering method. A relationship between the kernels, considered to be the known data, of the MGL equation and the Gopinath–Sondhi (GS) equation is established.
Acoustic radiation force on a heated sphere including effects of heat transfer and acoustic streaming83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395936View Description Hide Description
In this investigation, our previous theoretical result on the subject of the acoustic radiation force on a heated sphere [Lee and Wang, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 7 5, 88–96 (1984)] is reexamined. For a more complete understanding, effects of heat transfer and acoustic streaming are taken into consideration. Essentially, it was found that at high sound‐pressure levels in a steady situation, the force is not affected significantly by the temperature profile, consistent with the result of an experimental work [Leung and Wang, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 7 7, 1686–1691 (1985)]. This resolves the earlier apparent contradiction between the theory and the experiment. But our previous result is reaffirmed that, if excessive hot air is accumulated around the sphere, which can happen in transient situations, the force can be weakened or reversed in sign. As a by‐product of our study, a heat transfermodel due to acoustic streaming was also found.
Theoretical estimates of sound scattering by atmospheric turbulence83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395937View Description Hide Description
The coefficients of sound scattered by the temperature and wind fluctuations and common normalized scattering phase functions are computed using the von Karman three‐dimensional spectrum of temperaturefluctuations and the von Karman three‐dimensional energy spectrum that enables one to take into account the outer scale of atmospheric turbulence. It is shown that both scattering coefficients have a quadratic frequency dependence and 1.67 power dependence upon the outer scale of turbulence. At the same time, the common scattering cross section is proportional to the cube root of the sound frequency that agrees with the previously obtained results. The obtained results are in a good agreement with the experimental data.
Transient Scholte wave transmission along rough liquid–solid interfaces83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395938View Description Hide Description
Transmission characteristics of transient Scholte waves along periodic and random liquid–solid interfaces are demonstrated using laboratory ultrasonic models. These characteristics indicate that, for periodic interfaces, the transmitted Scholte wave is composed of an attenuated main pulse, which arrives first, followed by substantial energy at the Bragg frequency, which is delayed and spread over a wide time window. Random topographic variations in the liquid–solid interface eliminate the transmission of the late‐arriving components. The experiments are limited to a water ''half‐space'' over a high‐speed solid half‐space, in which case, most of the Scholte wave energy is in the water. The Scholte wavelength is comparable to the horizontal spatial wavelength in the surface but is much greater than the vertical scale of the spatial variations. Results from composite interfaces formed by placing thin parallel scatterers on a plane solid surface and from corrugated interfaces formed by directly machining grooves and ridges in the solid are presented. Field data on transient Scholte wave propagation in the shallow waters of Barrow Strait of the Canadian Arctic are also described. The field data have some similar characteristics to that obtained from the ultrasonic models, which may indicate that the propagation in Barrow Strait is strongly influenced by the bottom topography of the region.
Near‐surface ocean ambient noise measurements at very low frequencies83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395939View Description Hide Description
Ambient noise in the frequency range 1–20 Hz was measured for 1‐day periods at each of four widely separated sites in the North Atlantic Ocean with freely drifting, surface‐suspended hydrophones. The acoustic data were recorded aboard an attending research vessel following transmission over a radio link. Narrow‐band spectralanalysis was performed at 1‐h intervals to form time series of noisespectral level for each site. Statistical analyses of the power‐spectral time series included the determination of cumulative probabilities, standard deviation, skew, kurtosis, decorrelation times, and the wind‐speed dependence of mean spectral level. Comparisons with data from bottom‐mounted hydrophones and studies of inter‐ and intra‐array coherence indicate that the data were, with few exceptions, uncontaminated by self‐noise down to 1 Hz. A significant dependence of noise spectrum level upon local wind speed was observed in the 1.5‐ to 3‐Hz frequency band at each site. At 4 Hz, the dependence upon wind speed was much weaker, suggesting that the noise sources at this frequency are more distant. Estimates of noise directionality and tests for normality were also made on the data between 1 and 5 Hz.
The sound fields of an infinite, fluid‐loaded plate excited by a point force83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395940View Description Hide Description
The acoustic fields of an infinite, fluid‐loaded plate that is excited by a source are considered. The plate is modeled exactly as a linear elastic, isotropic, homogeneous layer of constant thickness bounding two different homogeneous fluid half‐spaces. First, the complete acoustic field (pressure fluctuations in the fluids and displacements in the plate) of an harmonic monopole source in one of the fluids is derived. Then, by invoking reciprocity, the sound fields in the fluids of an harmonic point force applied somewhere within the plate are found. There are no restrictions upon the frequency or the orientation of the applied force. A standard asymptotic result for the sound fields in the fluids far from a source in the plate is given.
Exact and approximate theories for fluid‐loaded, infinite, elastic plates83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395941View Description Hide Description
The sound radiated by an infinite, elastic plate excited by a point force is considered. The plate is loaded by two fluid half‐spaces that may have different properties, and the force may have an arbitrary orientation. Results derived at low frequency show that the ''exact'' solution, when the plate is modeled as an elastic layer, concurs with ''thin plate'' theories. A demonstration of how a thin plate theory fails as frequency is increased is given. Particular attention is paid to the longitudinal wave in the plate (corresponding to the zero‐order symmetric Lamb mode), which is shown to be sensitive to the symmetry of the fluid loading. The importance of the position of the driving force within the plate's thickness, symmetric waves, material absorption, and finite plate size is also studied to see when those factors should be included in the plate model. Results tend to confirm the common view that symmetric waves and the position of the force need not be considered when computing the field of a transverse force, at least at low frequencies and with a typical set of material parameters.
Time domain signal transmission and source location in a waveguide: Matched filter and deconvolution experiments83(1988); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.395942View Description Hide Description
The experiments were made in an ideal air waveguide having Sheetrock (hard) boundaries. Transmissions of a signal were from a source to a pair of receivers. Matched filter and deconvolution procedures were tested. Matched filters were computed for transmissions from a set of trial source locations to the receivers. The trial matched filters were then applied to the signals. The filtered signals were cross correlated. A map of cross‐correlation absolute maxima for trial source locations gave the actual source location. Many smaller maxima indicated false locations. For the second method, the signals were deconvolved with estimates of the impulse transmission from trial locations. At the actual source location, deconvolution operations gave a diverging oscillatory remainder. The oscillations had a higher frequency than the signal. It was possible to low‐pass filter the deconvolved signals and recover good replicas of the transmitted signal. The map of cross correlations of the deconvolved and filtered signals gave the source location. The deconvolution–low‐pass filter method gave fewer and smaller indications of false locations than the matched filter method. However, the matched filter method was more tolerant of errors in the estimates of the impulse response.

User reviews on Spiderwick Chronicles
I took the kids to see this a few days ago. Another excellent movie which had all the parts of a good movie-some comedy, suspense, mystery, drama and overall real life events. The kid actor was great and the tension in the family due to their dad leaving them really brought the story together for me. The kids loved it and want to buy it on DVD.
This movie was really good. It was adventurous, frightening, mysterious and fun. This movie will appeal kids and parents of all ages. Another helpful hint is that reading the books really helps you understand the movie. I would highly recommend it.

Do minimum wages affect non-wage job attributes? Evidence on fringe benefits
Although many studies have tested neoclassical labor market theory's prediction that employers will react to binding minimum wages by changing employment levels, much less empirical research has explored the possibility that employers also respond to minimum wages by adjusting non-wage components of the job, such as fringe benefits, job safety, and access to training. Using Current Population Survey data for 1979-2000, this study investigates the effect of minimum wage legislation on the provision of employer health insurance and employer pension coverage. The authors examine effects of state and federal variation in minimum wages on groups likely to be affected by the minimum wage, and compare these effects to estimates found for groups unlikely to be affected. Whether the analysis uses only state-level variation or federal and state variation in minimum wages, the results indicate no discernible effect of the minimum wage on fringe benefit generosity for low-skill workers.

So You have purchased a DS Lite want to be able to run Nintendo DS ROMs / games that are available on the internet but You are totally new to console gaming and wondering and need advise on what exactly do you need to play NDS ROMs. DS Flash card? Passkey? Passcard - all sounds like greek to You. Well we will try to help you out here stating with the Basics!
Now in order to put NDS roms on to your console you need some kind of memory card that will store the files. Original Nintendo DS game cards are Read-Only-Memory (ROM) meaning that you can only read from them, but can not erase or rewrite their memory. What we need is a rewritable media, and that is where DS Flash Cards come in. By adding flash to DS you make it possible to copy .nds rom files to the comsole as you copy songs to mp3 music player. In fact after you get a DS Flash Card putting a new free game is just as easy as playing a new song...
DS Flash Card - are cartridges with re-writable memory. They can be in a shape of a GBA cartridge or a DS game card and can have built-in memory or serve as a adapter for SD, TransFlash or CF flash memory cards.
If you choose a SLOT-2 GBA cartridge slot DS Flash Card you will also need a DS PassKey. Latest generation passkey is a card that looks like a DS Game Card and is used to fool your DS Lite into playing NDS Game rom from the GBA slot. Without it DS would try to execute it as a Gameboy Advance game on a single screen. (You don't need Pass card if you wan't to play GBA ROMs on it as they do not have any incryption or copy protection but need it for DS mode.)
check here
- Purchase a Acekard for $35 and about $8 shipping. (came out July 2008)
- This is a slot 1 so it's no longer necessary to firmware flash your Nintendo DS Lite. Just stick the Acekard with a microSD memory card and your good to go. It comes with a mini microSD USB flash reader so you can copy files to it off your computer. Here is the official homepage for it. I comes in a black case same size as a Nintendo DS game cartridge. Comes with a blue plastic key chain holder which holds 2 game cartridges and a microSD USB card reader.
- Purchase a 4GB or 8GB microSDHC card. 4GB microSD cards are about $15 from newegg + $5 shipping or 8GB microSDHC about $35. Note: prices are from Aug 2008 and may change. List of 4GB and 8GB microSDHC memory cards and on newegg.com.

I honestly don't know what's going on with this stock.... other than I should have sold a few days ago and re-bought today ;)
If anyone can explain the drops today and yesterday I'd appreciate it. Don't know much about the shorts.
MS is actually changing their points system to dollars this year I have heard recently and yes, it is currently quite annoying but it still works and if you are using the system, you will eventually use the points anyway.
One last question on the GME DLC. What is their markup? I have to assume they are buying it "wholesale" and making something from it when selling it, but I just can't imagine it can be that much. Any idea?
Fair enough. Its never wise to generalize a demographic, but I still think gamers who spend hours leveling up will opt for the reward of game stop points.
However, you need a credit card to buy DLC and you have to be 18 to use a credit card, which would eliminate a key demographic to gaming. Or you need to purchase xbox points and it is to my understanding that they have purposely miss priced things on xbox live so you always have a small balance remaining. You can also use trade in credit for DLC. This article also shows triple digit growth in digital, 3Q yoy, at GME http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/10/gamestop-sees-majority-of-digital-sales-from-cash-wont-pursue/
Look 6 months ago I don't think anyone thought GME could sell DLC. They are now. Having worked in retail once in my life I know how successful up selling can be. GME is notorious at this aspect. While you are purchasing the game they will simply ask if you want to buy the DLC. So before you even get home you have bought the DLC. Did ATVI give any insight into how many COD elite DLCs GME sold? I know early on they sold a ton of them.
Thanks, but I don't think I missed your overall point, just asking about the specifics of buying the DLC. And BTW, I disagree with some of what you explained since I am a Power Rewards member and a 44 year old CPA. I actually enjoy getting the mag and that's it. And the rewards are really not great, and MS offers rewards for buying online via the console. Theirs are not much better, but it's something. I also think hardcore gamers would be well connected and tech savvy with high speed connections who would just as soon download from home/console than from GME or the store itself via card purchase. I also don't think they are as compulsive as you state, and also, I think the past several years of economic strife has led to people learning to take advantage of deals, and only the deals while not getting lured into other purchases, which is where compulsion would serve GME and others. Just my thoughts, nothing more.
I feel the exact same way as this guy: http://beta.fool.com/mhenage/2012/02/10/top-ten-most-shorted-stocks-gamestop/1868/?source=TheMotleyFool
He is missing one important point the "next console effect". Break out a GME 10K and compare sales from 2005 to 2009 and you will get a clear sense of that effect.
Since October the stock market has been on an absolute tare. We are do for a pullback.
Homer you missed my point this is targeted marketing at Power Up Reward members not mass marketing. These members have taken the initiative to sign up for and instances of Pro members pay GME $15 bucks. I would classify these people as hardcore gamers. DLC is basically targeting this demographic. If they have taken the initiative to sign up for the club they will take the initiative to download it off the website. Also members get points which can be used for discounts or merchandise. You get the points when you buy it from GME and not Xbox live. Hardcore gamers are inherently compulsive so they will opt to get the power up points.
"Question for you on the last part. Unless GME sells me the DLC at a discount, why would I leave my chair at my house where I can press a couple of buttons and download right from my Xbox?"
As a partial answer: For people who love gaming, a few possibilities include buying consoles, trading consoles, buying peripherals, trading peripherals, trading games, browsing, and generally being in an environment in which you're surrounded by what you like with like-minded people. You can buy coffee online too, but many people still stop at Starbucks.
there is a simple reason that gme is falling. video game sales in Q4 were OK due to the release of 2 monster big hits - Modern Warfare and Battlefield 3 - but without those monster hits, the overall game software market is falling hard. in this next quarter software sales will be down double digits. EA and Activision both lowered their earnings forecasts and sales forecasts for next quarter - and so GME is going to tank.
i missed by opportunity to sell puts before activision reported. i didnt realize that activision would lower their forecasts so much - i thought a one day spike and then it sells off. big mistake, could have made a quick bundle.
gme is still going alot lower, but the easiest short sale was a couple days ago at the top of the trading range.
if only i didnt have a business and could watch the stock market all day, i might catch these things.
YAWN. What abject idiocy.
Software sales jumped 9.9% in the 9 week holiday sales period.
January saw the release of only one title and that title released too late in the month to be reflected in the NPD report; FINAL FANTASY 13-2.
Meanwhile, Mass Effect 3 Collectors edition by 1st week of January completely sold out.
Februaury this coming week sees the release of TEKKEN PRIME, UFC Undisputed 3, Alan Wake for PC, and Twisted Metal.
We had a dry spell of ZERO SOFTWARE RELEASES in January and we get people freaking out about software sales weakness.
Give me a break. PS VITA and Launch titles release in these next 2 weeks of Feb. MASS EFFECT 3 releases early March 6th.
You can't make judgement calls based on overall sales figures. You have to separate the hardware sales weakness from the Skyrocketing software sales strength. Lets see how PS VITA does given analysts and Wall Streeters are expecting abyssmal sales of PS VITA. Anything short of that is a boost long term for Gamestop who is using their trade in program to boost sales of PS VITA.
Question for you on the last part. Unless GME sells me the DLC at a discount, why would I leave my chair at my house where I can press a couple of buttons and download right from my Xbox?
Thanks for that info.
Based on the fact it doesn't include digital or used, I can understand why people have their reservations - but are the large number of people reacting to "negative" news even aware of this?
Sounds like any other analyst to me.
Poor NPD results.
Thanks for the note -
I see "NPD" everywhere but can't seem to find a definition - can you help out?

A Woman Named Red
Paula Gratsch as told to Robin Madden
These stories were dictated to me as a sort of memoir by my momma who has lung cancer. After her diagnosis, I thought it would be a neat idea to record some of her memories. Later, I got the idea to make the book after I took copies of many of her old photos from her childhood and added the images to the words. Mostly, this was a priceless opportunity to spend time with my momma during her treatment, to laugh, to reminisce and to create a lasting family treasure.
-I love you momma, Robi

Anyone know of any gold track hubs under $350? Really, less, but the only gold track hubs I've been able to find at all are Phil Wood gold track hubs and they're $394.95. I am not rich.
Anyone know of any gold track hubs under $350? Really, less, but the only gold track hubs I've been able to find at all are Phil Wood gold track hubs and they're $394.95. I am not rich.
EAI was selling Gold Suzue hubs thru its various distributers. I think they have some left and im guessing shops that stocked them might too. I use the silver version on my training wheels. The only thing thats cheez with them is its the cheaper version of the Promax hub. The construction is very good but the hardware is total crap. Both axles are 3/8th size and the front is shaved to fit the fork. The threads mash really fast making wheel in and outs a pain in the arse. When I replaced my bearings last week I re threaded the bearing retainers to 10mm and used a new Dura-Ace axle and hardware. Works great now!
Must be some bike if you need gold hubs.
Velocity make an all gold track wheelset (gold Formula hubs, spokes, nipples and rims) if you want to go totally gold.
May not be the greatest wheelset for racing but will probably blind your opponents.
Whats wrong with those wheels? Velocity makes some of the best rims on the planet. A hub is only as good as the bearings it rolls on. If you put super nice smooth bearings in your hub, its just as fast as the next cartridge hub.
Loose ball hubs are the ones you can make stupid fast.
Suzue did a limited edition run of their Promax SB sealed track hubs in Gold. There were a bunch on ebay recently from Jones Bicycles.
Suzue also did their loose-bearing top-of-the-line hubs in gold, with a NJS stamp on the 36-hole ones. I believe there is still a pair or two at Bike Central in Portland, OR (www.bike-central.com). I'm not affiliated -- I just saw them there recently. Don't bother with the web site -- just call them.

Governor-elect Bev Perdue says she needs the advice of business leaders as she prepares to shape North Carolina's economy for the future.
Perdue held an economic roundtable Tuesday with more than 30
Charlotte-area business leaders, including Charlotte Bobcats owner
Bob Johnson and Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers.
The Charlotte Observer reported that the Democrat said she wanted to listen to business leaders as she gathers advice.
They discussed the economic downturn and important elements of
the economy.
Perdue held a similar meeting Monday with biotechnology executives in Research Triangle Park. Those officials pushed her to create a public-private partnership that could help provide cash to companies struggling to finance their operations.

Baby's breath and blue delphinium
The bridesmaid arrangements were made from baby's breath and blue delphinium. For their reception décor, candles in hurricane glasses (surrounded by a wreath of baby's breath) cast an enchanting glow.
There are very few flowers that are truly blue. Delphinium is one of these flowers. It comes in a variety of blues from very pale to intense. This is the perfect flower of choice when adding "something blue" to the bride's outfit.
The long stems of the Delphinium are ideal for large arrangements and florets can be wired individually.

Two congregations sharing the same unfortunate circumstances came together Sunday to worship.
The members of Greater Mt. Zion Christian Church were forced to hold their Sunday service at the Memorial Baptist Church this Sunday after there house of worship was burned to the ground two weeks ago. In a strange coincidence Memorial Baptist was also set ablaze two years earlier.
Despite their hardships they gave praise as Greater Mt. Zion's leader tells WITN. Bishop Joe N. Dixon says, "two paths have crossed and two friendships have greeted one another in love and in the bond of Christ and we're thankful to pastor Mckenny and members."
So far we don't have information on when a *new* church will be built for Greater Mount Zion.

Tickets |
© 2016, Cactus Pear Music Festival
Do you remember all these program covers? Do you recall that first season in 1997 when something new had arrived in San Antonio? Yes, it was 19 years ago but I can remember it like it was yesterday. The faces of the musicians, the audiences at Laurel Heights United Methodist Church, the excitement of having it all come together. AND the clear signal from our patrons that Cactus Pear Music Festival was not only a sizzling summer offering for the musical drought that was San Antonio summers back then, but was enthusiastically cheered on for what has now been 19 complete seasons. Wow! It's been a great ride and we are ready to celebrate the 20th in style, with 20-20 vision for what has been and what is yet to be.
For season 20 we are pulling out all the stops: 20 artists collaborating in 20 pieces by such greats as Schubert, Dvorak, Faure and Ravel, and exciting works by living composers Michael Daugherty, Kenji Bunch, Thomas Dougherty and Kevin Puts. We are also pleased to bring back some of the alums from our Young Artist Program [YAP] who are joining us now as professional colleagues: in week 1 we have pianist Ellen Pavliska (2011) and Colin Sorgi (2005); in week 2 pianist Wayne Ching (2009) and clarinetist Sam Almaguer (2008) join us.
And I've managed to have a wonderful mix of former CPMF colleagues as well as San Antonio Symphony stalwarts on stage. You'll hear pianist Ryo Yanagitani, violist Ara Gregorian as well as cellist Lachezar Kostov in our first week. Our dear friend and program annotator Jeffrey Sykes is back along with husband and wife cellists Tony Ross and Beth Rapier, flutist Stephanie Jutt, baritone Timothy Jones, as well as oboist Rung-Hui Lie, SAS's Eric Gratz, Sharon Kuster, John Carroll and Sherry Rubins. It is going to be a season of perfect vision and music, on stage. I can't wait!
In the meantime, if you want to slack your thirst for great chamber music, we still have the February 21 and April 10 Soirée Specials House Concerts you can enjoy. Click here for more information and an easy online way to make ticket purchases.
I hope to see you at the Soirée Special and look forward to seeing y'all in the audience this summer when we toast the 20th season. It'll be here before we know it.

I have just sent my son out to purchae the Henry Extra HVR200-22 as a replacement for my Morphy Richards. I was just about to purchase one of the Miele models but was put off by the lack of after-service so many people complained of from the company. Although I had read all the reviews about the various Henry vacuum cleaners I was sceptical about purchasing purely based on the price. i wrongly assumed because it was at the cheaper end of the market it must be an inferior product -how wrong… Read Full Review
Written on: 09/02/2010
I found this review very helpful because... I have been undecided which vacuum cleaner to go for AGAIN after so many over the years. I've had a Kirby, 2 Dysons, Electolux and the latest was a Vax which I have had for less than a year - it was giving me problems from week 1.
<br/>I've read lots of reviews elsewhere over the last couple of days and because of this review my mind is now made up and I shall be ordering one asap.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else is suffering from debilitating hemorrhoid pain? I have hemorrhoids so bad that it is excruciating to walk, sit, stand, or do anything basically. I've tried the Tucks and the Preparation H and they didn't help. The midwife prescribed me a steroid called Proctofoam which helped like 10% but I'm still suffering badly. Plus it's a category C medicine which I am not comfotable using for very long.
I'm wondering if anyone has had hemorrhoids removed during pregnany? I'm waiting for a call back from the midwife and have an appointment with a proctologist tomorrow. I just can't go on with this chronic pain anymore but don't know if removal is safe during pregnancy because they probably have to use some sort of anesthesia.

These diseases make it difficult for the lungs to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide and can cause fluid and other materials to collect in the lungs. (See our Symptoms & Causes for a list of different ILDs).
How Boston Children's Hospital approaches interstitial lung disease
Our Interstitial Lung Disease Program is made up of doctors, nurses, nutritionists and social workers who provide a full diagnosis and evaluation of each child with ILD.
We work with families to plan individualized therapy depending on the specific condition—to offer the best care of the child's respiratory health, growth and nutrition. We help families arrange home health care support and supplies, transportation services and visiting nursing services. If needed, our Division of Pulmonary and Respiratory Diseases provides expert review and opinion, as well as other services and support, for lung transplantation.
Our ILD program is a part of the Children's Interstitial Lung Disease Research Network (ChILDRN), associated with the Children's Interstitial Lung Disease (ChILD) Foundation.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Walking Shadow makes the stage a stage in 'Compleat Female Stage Beauty'
Wade A. Vaughn as Edward Kynaston
Photo by Dan Norman
A brief mention in Samuel Pepys's diaries led local playwright Jeffrey Hatcher to investigate the story of Edward Kynaston, a 17th-century actor renowned for his performances in women's roles. When the stage was finally made open to females, Kynaston found himself out of work. The story led Hatcher to pen his play, Compleat Female Stage Beauty. While the piece has been around for a number of years -- it was even made into a film in 2004 -- it will be making its local debut this week with a production from Walking Shadow Theatre Company.
City Pages recently chatted with John Heimbuch, the show's director and Walking Shadow'sco-artistic director.

Very easy and good. Many people ask me to make these often.
Just a comment.. in the recipe it reads that it takes 15 HOURS to make this recipe - I THINK that is a typo. Is there anyway to correct that so that beginner bakers won't be mistaken?
I make this at Christmas time my two boys who are out on their own loves these nobake cookies
This recipe was very good! I would have rated it 5 stars exept it called for WAY to much sugar. I might have just added a cup by mistake, but I will make it again, though with less sugar than this time. Thanks again!

Looking for the Bottom; the Recession Hasn't Been Kind to the Downtown Jacksonville Commercial Real Estate Market, but Brokers Say There Are Signs That the Decline May Be Nearing an End .
Turner, Kevin, The Florida Times Union
Byline: KEVIN TURNER
Although downtown office leasing and condominium vacancies have risen from 15 to 20 percent since 2007 and landmark downtown buildings are for sale, commercial real estate professionals say lower sales prices are starting to attract investors.
However, those investors aren't yet in a mad rush to buy those buildings, because while the majority of those buildings are completely sound, they're at least 50 years old and several need millions of dollars in renovations to bring them to modern standards and code requirements. Many also lack nearby parking.
"They can be bought cheap, but the renovation cost is expansive," said Bob Knight, broker associate with Addison Commercial Real Estate Inc. "Many people are bottom fishing, looking for distressed properties with potential."
Knight said one group of out-of-town investors has a contract on the gutted 1926 Barnett National Bank building at West Adams and North Laura streets and the "Laura Street Trio" across the street. The trio, also gutted, is being sold as one unit and consists of three buildings - the Florida National Bank building, the Bisbee Building and the Florida Life building, all of which are at least 97 years old.
"I'm sure their intention is to renovate the buildings," Knight said of the investors, but he declined to disclose the buyers or details of the pending deal. The contract is the second one this year; another contract fell through, he said.
The 18-story Barnett building is on the market for $5 million, the same price tag as the three buildings in the trio. If all four buildings are sold, the total cost would be about $10 million - less than the $11.35 million Orlando developer Cameron Kuhn paid for them in 2005 and 2007 before defaulting on their mortgages in 2008, which returned them to the market.
Some of downtown's most visible historic landmarks listed for sale are generating more investor interest than others, Knight said.
"I've shown Barnett and the trio a lot. But there are other listings downtown that haven't had the attention," he said.
Knight said overall, downtown sales are still slow, mirroring a downturn in occupancy in downtown's offices for lease or sale as condominiums.
CB Richard Ellis measured downtown's vacancy rate in the second quarter at 20 percent and expects it to be 19.7 percent in the third. The firm said the vacancy rate downtown was 18.8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008 and 17.2 percent in the third quarter of last year. In the third quarter of 2007, vacancy was 15.3 percent.
At least one commercial real estate specialist said he doesn't expect it to get much worse.
"We're all cautiously optimistic we've hit the bottom of tenants moving out, businesses contracting and just basically going away," said Buddy Register, senior director of commercial real estate consultant Cushman & Wakefield Florida. "We're at the bottom of the trough and seeing a few signs of movement and interest."
Many downtown lessees are hanging on but have empty space themselves, Knight said.
"A lot of businesses have contracted during the recession, so there's a lot of sublease space that's on the market as well. Most of the primary leases are still intact. As for occupancy, it clearly hasn't clicked up. It's been going down."
Some say there may be more commercial building bargains in the future if foreclosures further pummel commercial real estate as they have residential real estate in recent months.
Jim O'Donnell of Watson Commercial Realty Inc. said more commercial buildings could be forced onto the market in coming years. Balloon payments coming due at the end of this year, the end of 2010 and the end of 2011 could throw more owners into default, landing foreclosed commercial buildings on the market.
"There's cause for concern," O'Donnell said.
Distressed sales have driven down prices in residential real estate in recent years, and commercial prices could drop, too, if they follow the same trend. …

European Stocks End Higher
Stock prices rose and the euro eased against the dollar Wednesday as policy makers continued to mull a possible rescue for deficit-plagued Greece. Oil and gold both eased.
German politicians, euro-zone finance ministers and French President Nicolas Sarkozy all engaged the "Greek issue," but no clarity emerged from the wide-ranging discussions ahead of Thursday's meeting of European Union finance ministers in Brussels. Indeed, one German official indicated no decision on Greece will be reached this week.
Stock prices retreated from session highs but still finished the day in the black. The pan-European Stoxx 600 Index gained 0.6% to 240.7. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index ended up 0.4% at 5132.0, France's CAC-40 Index increased 0.6% to 3635.6 and Germany's DAX increased 0.7% to 5536.4. At the time of the close of European stock markets, the main U.S. indexes were trading in the red.
Meanwhile, the main index in Athens, the ASE, continued on its see-saw trajectory—ending Wednesday up 2.4% at 1940.8 as the cost of insuring against a possible Greek sovereign debt default eased.
European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet held a conference call with euro-zone finance ministers on Wednesday to discuss the Greek fiscal-deficit crisis, but it remained unclear how prominent Greece would be on the finance ministers' meeting agenda. Market speculation ranged from a Franco-German solution to something that would engage a broader group of EU countries.
"We are currently witnessing the first major test of the euro institutions and the solidarity of the members of the European Union," he said. "If we are indeed heading towards a euro fudge, ending with some form of bailout, these events will play out like a train wreck in slow motion."
One country that made plain its desire to steer clear of the euro crisis: The U.K. Bank of England Governor Mervyn King and Prime Minister Gordon Brown both stressed that the issue was one for the euro-zone, which the U.K. isn't part of since it continues to use the pound rather than the common currency.
Uncertainty over a Greek bailout, along with hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chief Ben Bernanke, undercut the euro. After gaining ground early in Europe trading, it dropped below the $1.37-level late in the day. At 1645 GMT, the euro was down 0.5% at $1.3718.
Meanwhile, the U.K. pound fell 0.7% at $1.5603. It declined after the release of the BOE's Inflation Report, which indicated that it was too early to rule out further monetary easing through asset purchases, as the outlook for the country's economy remains highly uncertain.
Spot gold edged lower Wednesday in narrow range-trading, tracking a dip in the euro against the dollar. At the close of European equity markets, gold for April delivery on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange fell 1.0% to $1066.6.
Light, sweet crude for March delivery was down 0.8% to $73.2 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
In Major Market Action:
Belgian group Fortis gained 6.1% and Banco Comercial Portugues added 5.5% as financials benefited from optimism about a possible Greece rescue.
There were some sharp earnings-related losses on Wednesday for companies such as steel giant ArcelorMittal, down 6.9%. The firm swung to a fourth-quarter profit of $1.07 billion, though its operating profit lagged estimates and the company's first-quarter outlook also was below guidance. Peugeot shares fell 4.9% after the French auto maker reported its loss widened last year.
Several Norwegian and Swedish firms posted big share losses, with solar panel and wafer maker Renewable Energy Corp. dropping nearly 20% in Oslo. REC swung to a fourth-quarter loss after impairment charges and forecast a tough start to 2010.
In Stockholm, banking group SEB declined 4.4% after its fourth-quarter net profit dropped 93%, hurt by lower net interest income and an 86% rise in credit losses to 3.16 billion kronor.
Still, there were some earnings-related gains for media firms in France and Germany, with French media group Havas up 7.9% after the group reported a 4.4% drop in fourth-quarter organic revenue, which wasn't as steep as analyst forecasts for a 6.4% drop, according to data compiled by Dow Jones Newswires.
Shares of German media broadcaster ProSiebenSat.1 Group jumped 16.2% after it returned to profit in 2009, helped by higher advertising revenues in the fourth quarter.

Hi everybody,
My name is Nick. I am from Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada). I am in my early 20's and have been cycling for about 10 years.
It all started with riding my mountain bike to school and work, then last year I bought myself a road bike. I have since been biking a lot more and have decided to join this forum so I could learn more about bicycles and cycling.
I am also joining a group in 3 weeks for my first ever cross country bike tour. We will be traveling from Winnipeg,Mb to Ottawa, On (2150 kms).
I look forward to discussing with all of you and contributing to this awesome forum.
