Note: After trying multiple times with the Knoppix 5.1.1 and later, the external USB CDROM version seems to work fine, but the USB stick version doesn't. There is an issue with how Knoppix is mounting the USB boot image of itself under /cdrom but is assigned the device /dev/sda2 for some reason, and the /dev/sda being the internal hard disk root as well. We can't resize it under QTparted because it can't unmount /dev/sda2 which is actually the USB stick and NOT the hard disk. Not an issue with booting a USB CD/DVD ROM drive. So I downloaded Knoppix 6.0.1 and it has a built-in utility to install itself to a flash drive. I just clicked on it and selected my USB stick and let it do its thing. Knoppix 6.0 moved to a lightweight X Window Manager which is no longer QT. So the QTparted isn't there. But the text version is still there and it does come up and see the slices and offer re-sizing from the command line. Also, the Acer's built-in webcam works out of the box. You just need to set up Ekiga settings to use the port and if you see interence lines, set the camera to 640x480 resolution. This may appear bigger than the available display size (1024x600) but you can "zoom out" which will shrink the whole GUI and scale it down. There's a video and snapshot utility call "Cheese" which works as well. Only the video capture is very dim for some reason. Still work in progress I guess.

cool stuff, how about a live cd with solaris? I used the ubuntu live cd for testing out a couple of recycled boxes now with BE-2350s, and BE-2400s (45w 1.9 and 2.3 x2s).

Saw this on techcrunch today:

These little netbooks that we hear about day in and day out are about to get a little zippier, thanks to Intel's dual-core Atom chip – the 330 – shipping out to vendors. The September launch seems to coincide with what we'd heard earlier, so that's good.

The 45-nanometer Atom 330 chip will feature the same 1.6GHz bus speed as the single core model, will have 1MB of level 2 cache, and will support DDR2 667 memory.

Full release:

Intel Ships Dual Core Atom for Nettops

September 19, 2008

Intel has officially begun shipping a 45nm dual-core Intel® Atom™ Processor known as the Intel Atom Processor 330. The newest member of the Atom family is designed specifically for nettops, which are affordable desktops purpose-built primarily for web surfing, email, and basic Internet usage. The dual-core Intel® Atom™ Processor 330 features a 1.6GHz processing core, 1MB of level 2 cache, an 8W TDP and support for DDR2 667. The new processor is available as an integrated package and has been validated with the Intel® 945GC Express Chipset, featuring built-in Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and Intel® High Definition Audio.

Very good! Now I can set up a real OpenSolaris-based home storage with this baby!
 I'm going to install this board in a Chenbro ES34069 case with 4x1TB 3.5" SATA drives (need a PCI SATA adapter) to build a 3TB NAS box with RAIDZ -- better than HW RAID!

This is great. You should do this for more desktop motherboards, like P45.

Ed: The 191 services on my old AMD Sempron system from 3 years ago still takes about 3 minutes same Nevada version, so compared to just 1 minute or so on the celeron 430, it's a great way to guage performance. BTW, I retired that old AMD box yesterday and replaced it with the combo above. Sad day for an old fried. But I have an old EPIA 800 box and a VIA c7/cn700 box that if any folks want to work on to further improve the SMF start performance, they're welcome to use. The EPIA 800 has 2GB and 4GB CF cards for IDE disk and starting services takes hours and is I/O bound. The c7/cn700 is snappier and should take less than 4 - 5 minutes. I think I donated a box to our lab reservation system, under the hostname "breadbox" (it's in an Antec Aria shoebox xpc case).

Ted: I did buy the Fry's combo w/ BE3200 a while ago and it's sitting in my office not powered up. It came with an ECS board also, but this had an nVidia GeForce 7050/610 chipset I think and I picked it up on a Thursday for $78, no rebate required. I have a colleague who's running it now and hosting a website, he says, with Solaris Nevada, build 60-something, I think. I haven't spent the time to test all the devices to get them working. But I think he put a cheap $5 Realtek 8169 NIC on the system. I think I have an ECS GOAL3+ w/ sempron and everything works on that board with the correct drivers, and I got memory from StarMicro.COM. Used (not new) DDR, but 1 GB name brand sticks for $32 a while ago. It may be more expensive now, but starmicro memory was more compatible than some Kingston 1GB which only showed up as 512 MB and they have insanely fast fulfillment like ewiz.com. But if you can find an older, PCChips A31g board with the older SiS GigE onboard NIC, I have one system that is otherwise identical to the ECS GOAL3+; same socket, same DDR, same graphics I think. But diff was GigE NIC. Murayama's free solaris sige driver rocks on this board and the throughput really makes disk mirroring over my network a lot faster

Hi James,

Great blog entry. I've been working with low cost, low power systems and have been following your postings with great interest. The $79/$89 systems at Fry's with AM2 socket ECS/AMD BE-2300 (35W) combo is a great value to consider. I have one of the up and running for the family, that replaced a 5+ year old system, but was still able to use the IDE devices (well 2, out of 3), with a new stick of DDR2 667 RAM. The original PSU in the case has a low power factor (.6x) but total system watts is about the same, with 2-3x the integer performance.

For a 2nd system, again replacing a very old PII/PIII system, I'm looking at this Newegg combo:

www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813135060

for $39, though it will require a stick or two of old DDR400 184 pin RAM.

I'll let you know how this build goes, unless I decide to just get another BE2300 system.

There should be a pointer to an FAQ at awards.opensolaris.org that points to code submission and judging criteria. That should clarify the basis on which code submissions are valued. But in general, code can be "original and new", or they may be existing but this would be a "port". Both make valid entries.

What does this phrase "original and new, innovative and/or high-performance use or uses of OpenSolaris" mean? Does it means that the source code must be original and new, or that one can port (including modifying) an exist code to OpenSolaris? Thanks.

Hi James
 I just want to know have you install solaris on this motherboard, I am going to build a low budget solaris system for myself and this new MB seems better than the old one. Also I've seen someone successful to install 2Gb of RAM on D201GLY, does this one support more than 1Gb of RAM stated in the Spec?

Thanks

I haven't tried to boot this system with an external USB optical drive, but I've done it before on other systems with Nevada and S10 current and maybe prior releases going back at least a year so I don't think it's a problem. BIOS boot menu supports removable drives. One of my solutions with a previous D201GLY boards for eliminating all optical drives was to boot/install via PXE which works better. You do need to unpack the x86.miniroot in the net install image and add support for Murayama's sfe driver (i.e. build the driver, copy it to the unpacked directory's [unpacked]/kernel/drv and then run the add_drv command with -b [alt-root-dir] flag to add relavant driver_aliases and perms to that driver. There's a BigAdmin article I co-authored that summarizes all the steps to get the install to work. See this URL: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/device_driver_install.jsp

Hi Dr. Liu,

Thanks for the info. I have been trying to do away with internal DVD burners (& so far have been quite successful).

Thus, one question that could be important to me is, can you boot the system from an external USB DVD drive? Thanks again.

Hi PotstickerGuru,

"Not sure what the shipping costs are to Hawaii, but sometimes, Outpost.COM has similar sales (aka Frys.com) and those sales last for a few weeks rather than 1 day. But web prices aren't always matched to store prices."

I forgot to check on the email notification box and it took me a while to get back to this blog.

I checked Outpost.com, the "Airlink AWLC4130 Super-G 108Mbps Wireless-G Cardbus / PC-Card Adapter for Notebooks" costs $29.99 plus 19.59 for shipping. I will be ordering one. Thanks for the info.

Thanks a whole lot for sharing this info. I have been looking for something like this (Cardbus WiFi cards for laptops with a PCMCIA slot) for a while. As you astutely mentioned, ndiswrapper is a little bit not too stable. Plus, it is not trivial to install it on Solaris.

I live in Hawaii, & we don't have Fry's. Do you know any place where I can get one at reasonable price? Thanks again for this little but, in actuality, extremely valuable info.

Try online at ComputerGate.com, or NewEgg.COM for the Motherboard. If your friend is West Coast and near a Fry's Electronics, the Bay Area stores started stocking them a few weeks ago. Price ranges from $60 - $70 at these places plus tax. For the case, I would look at eWiz.COM or Directron.COM. For any extra cables, power-supplies and stuff, try mini-box.com, idotpc.com, and logicsupply.com. Prices are competitive, and shipping/service are fast. For building a NAS, it all depends on what your purpose is. For a simple home file server, it may suffice, but only barely. Problem with the system is that it only has 10/100 BaseT ethernet. To use a NAS, you probably want at least GigE. But it only has a single IDE pin header. This means at most 2 drives using onboard controllers. So with only 1 PCI slot, do you use it for a GigE NIC? or do you use it for a SATA expansion card? (Note: SATA drives eat more power than IDE drives). You could use the board and place 2 x 750 GB IDE drives (master and slave) and then add a cheap Realtek PCI GigE NIC. That'd give you 1.5 TB of disk in a small form factor. But a 7200rpm ATA drive with 2 platters eats around 7 - 9 Watts by itself. So for a bigger NAS with lots of disk drives, the motherboard/chipset may no longer be the biggest power-hog.

Hi I am very much intrested in buying one of these intel mini-itx board, but sadly they are nowhere available here (India)..

Can you tell me from where did u purchase all the hardware from? (one of my close friend is visit US so I intend to purchase via him)

And what would u recommend if I want a build it as a NAS? It lacks sata ports but can we add a PCI Sata adapter & have a NAS running?

Thx!

That will take some time as there is quite a bit of testing. I'm starting with some of the testing by installing S10u3 first and building the drivers with mods and testing them under the Solaris HCTS (Hardware Compatibility Test Suite). Alan DuBoff, who heads the Silicon Valley Open Solaris User Group, works in the same group. One of his goals is to get a lot of the community NIC drivers into the regular install media. I've also notified both Murayama-san of the changes, and Minskey Guo - Sun Beijing Audiohd engineer about the changes, so the ball starts rolling now. It can take many months to pass testing, even if the driver seems fine under normal conditions. https://blogs.oracle.com/PotstickerGuru/entry/getting_solaris_x86_graphics_nic#comment-1170816086000 Re: Getting Solaris x86 Graphics, NIC and Audio working on the ECS GeForce 6100SM-M UX-admin 2007-02-07T02:41:26+00:00 2007-02-07T02:41:26+00:00 Will you be merging these changes back into (Open)Solaris?

On the higher-end items, it can really be good (anything over $150). But for small parts, I like shopping at traditional online retailers that have a good RMA policy. A few years ago, after hearing from a friend how he scored on a couple of SunBlade 1k/2k systems on eBay, I did place a bid or two but lost.
 I don't any low-end boards that would be "recommended" for Xen and VMWare. But you might do okay getting one of those new Ultra 20 M2s. They have the right rev of 64-bit AMD cpu for Vtx. Older AMD64 cpus prior to rev D (current socket 939/940 were rev E, the socket AM2 are rev F I think) may not support 64-bit guest OSes (I'm looking out for Solaris viability here!). https://blogs.oracle.com/PotstickerGuru/entry/solaris_x86_hardware_shopping#comment-1165299867000 Re: Solaris x86 Desktop Hardware Shopping Mr. E 2006-12-05T06:24:27+00:00 2006-12-05T06:24:27+00:00 I'd also suggest eBay as a good source as well since I've been able to get a few great deals on used Sun workstations. My last purchase was a pristine Sun Java Workstation W1100z, 2.4GHz Opteron, 1G ECC RAM, for $364! Sure, it's not the quietest box around, but I had some left over material from making my W2100z quieter and did a few similar mods; still, those Ultra 20's are smoking fast and very quiet.

The eBay W1100z has become a NFS & web server using ZFS extensively running Solaris Express (11/06) and three zones (global+2), and performance is excellent given the workload.

As for installing a box without at least a DVD-ROM or ethernet, I wouldn't! It's hard enough having a box with only one ethernet port. 8) https://blogs.oracle.com/PotstickerGuru/entry/solaris_x86_hardware_shopping#comment-1165293763000 Re: Solaris x86 Desktop Hardware Shopping Tony Heskett 2006-12-05T04:42:43+00:00 2006-12-05T04:42:43+00:00 Great stuff, thanks -- shame I'm in the UK and can't get those prices :-) Got any recommendations on VTx / Pacifica stuff ?

It formerly ran Windows 98SE, Mandrake Linux, and Linspire. I had graphics troubles because my hardware was so old. So I complained to, and got useful technical advice from, a Sun executive (!?) You might try the latest Solaris Express because it has a later Xorg with agpgart support; see Sophia's blog. I also had trouble with my old NIC but one of Murayama-san's drivers did the trick for me too. I hope someone sends him a T-shirt or a T1000 or something.

Oct. 22, 2012
SEATTLE - The UW men's varsity 8 boat has been named the GoHuskies.com Student-Athlete's of the Week for the week of Oct. 15-21.
The defending national champions sent two boats to the 48th Annual Head of the Charles Regatta to compete in both the Championship 4 and the Championship 8 races on Sunday afternoon. The event--deemed the largest crew event in the world--features over 9,000 athletes competing in 55-races over the course of two days.
The Championship 8 race didn't end without some drama. After starting the race in position three, the Huskies finished five seconds ahead of second place Harvard and ten seconds ahead of third place California with a time of 14:37:27, but was penalized for hitting a buoy--automatically adding 10 seconds to their original time. The penalty dropped the UW from first to third, but Callahan and the Huskies appealed the call. The penalty was eventually overturned and the Huskies celebrated their second first-place finish in the last three years at the prestigious event. Senior Seamus Labrum coxed the winning boat for Huskies.
At one point during the race, the Huskies got tangled up with the U.S National Team, a boat that featured several Olympians from this past summer's London games. Despite having to stop and start again, the Huskies pulled it together to come away with the win.
The 3.1-mile course winds along the Charles River, beginning at the Boston University boathouse and continuing upstream under multiple bridges. The event attracts over 300,000 spectators that line the banks of the river to watch some of the best rowers in the world. The Head of the Charles Regatta is an unconventional crew event in that it is a time-trail race where the teams' starts are staggered and the time is recorded when they cross the finish line at the end of the course.

I've been getting some e-mails from colleagues and clients recently about the "respond publicly as the owner" feature disappearing from Google Places pages. This is a known issue which is spawned, in part, from the concept that in Google Places you may not be the only owner of your page. There can be several Google Accounts linked to a Places page but the true owner is the one that has most recently updated the page.
The way you can become the most recent owner on the page is to log in at google.com/places, click "edit," scroll all the way to the bottom and press submit without changing any info. This will force Google to recognize the account as the most recent owner and both the ABILITY to respond and the RESPONSES themselves will return the page, hopefully. I have seen this issue corrected via the method above as well as just correcting itself.
As with all things Google Places, if a week or two passes after you've tried the fix and you are still experiencing an issue, you should submit a problem report. You can do that here: http://support.google.com/

If you have no rooting interest in Super Bowl 48, consider cheering for the Northstate. Red Bluff is represented.
It is hard to believe but the small town is on display on the big stage.
Millions of people will be watching Sunday. A few people in Tehama County will be keeping an eye on a Denver Broncos coach who has gone from Northstate talent to the top of his profession.
It is a dream come true for coach Clancy Barone.
"It's exciting. That's obvious," he said. "The thing is when we won our game against the patriots for the right to go to the Super Bowl that was kind of overwhelming."
For his mother, Hazel, it was a classic story of a proud family.
"I was on top of everything. I mean, I could hardly believe it," said Clancy's mother Hazel Barone. "It's what he's been wanting ever since he started coaching."
Hazel still lives in Red Bluff where her son, Clancy, was a former Red Bluff High School football captain. He graduated as a Spartans star in the '80s, going from college player to pro coach over nearly three decades.
"Well that certainly is not a meteoric rise to the top, you know. I spent 18 years in college football coaching in, I think, seven or eight different states all over the country."
On Super Bowl Sunday he will be at the pinnacle of his profession after getting so close twice before.
"That was my third time getting to that [conference championship] game. The first two times - once I was with the Falcons and we lost to the Eagles. The second time I was with the Chargers and we lost to the Patriots. So you get that close to go to the biggest game in the world and you miss out."
No matter the outcome he still got the support from back home.
"I was telling him that I was sorry they lost and he said well somebody's got to lose, you know," said Hazel. "But he said, 'of course I was hoping.' I said, 'well baby your day will come.'"
The third time is the charm in 2014. The current Broncos' tight ends coach is working alongside some of the National Football League's greats.
He still has the connections to the Northstate and they are a proud group of people. Coach Barone said he feels honored to have grown up in a city like Red Bluff and never took things for granted.
"My mom is still back home. My brothers and sister all live out in the area still, so I've heard from each one of them and they're excited about it," said Clancy. "No one says that being from Red Bluff is a handicap. It's just a matter of making sure that you keep working for it and not take no for an answer."
He has fought for where he has ended up. He will likely have to fight the frigid temperatures on the east coast. Cold weather is expected for kickoff of Super Bowl XLVIII against the Seattle Seahawks Sunday evening at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Barone said playing in extreme weather is nothing new.
"Here's the thing - it could be 115 degrees during the summer when I was growing up. I never noticed it," Barone said. "I never noticed it when I was a kid. I'd be out there playing ball all day every day."
He is ready to go.
"Let's tee it up and kick it off and see what happens," said Barone. "I just want to get this thing going."

Starting today, Medicare recipients have a chance to make changes to their prescription drug plans.
Millions of American seniors rely on Medicare Part-D drug coverage to pay for the medications they need and for the next six weeks, they'll be faced with tough choices during Part-D open enrollment season.
When the drug program launched last year, seniors had six months to decide which insurance company offered the right program for them. This year, enrollment gets just six weeks.
Add to that more choices, more than 66,000 providers are offering coverage compared with just 33 last year and you can imagine the confusion senior's might face.
Experts said elder Americans can use these tips to make their choices easier. Make a list of all their medications and review the plan change information with their current provider to see if their medications are covered or if they will cost more.
Finally Medicare offers an online tool at www.medicare.gov to help seniors sort through their options. Open enrollment ends on December 31st.

A construction worker came across a special discovery on Tuesday as he dug through sediment on a construction site near South Lake Union in Seattle.
Working on a job for a private property owner at 528 Pontius Ave., journeyman plumber Joe Wells with Transit Plumbing found the brownish-yellow bone. It was massive and he knew it must be a pre-historic relic.
"I noticed something different," said Wells, "Didn't take long for us to figure out it was a tusk. I've dug a lot of ditches and seen bottles and other weird stuff. Never anything like this."
Paleontologists estimate the tusk to be around 10,000 to 11,000 years old. It was found after the crew used excavation equipment to dig several dozen feet down in ancient sediment that was perfect for preserving the tusk.
"Burke Museum paleontologists have examined the fossil and we are confident that it represents a tusk from an ice age mammoth," said Christian Sidor, the museum's curator of vertebrate paleontology. "Because the fossil is on private property and does not seem to be associated with an archaeological site, it is up to the landowner to decide what they would like to do with the tusk."
Mammoth remains are discovered occasionally across the country.
Remains of a 10-ton mammoth were unearthed last October in Enid, Okla., by workers installing a gas line. Those ancient bones were taken to the lab for study and preservation at the Oklahoma State University.
Mammoths, made most famous by the Ice Age movie franchise featuring voices of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Queen Latifah and Denis Leary, are bigger than mastodons, with some standing 12 feet high.
They are also more closely related to elephants, but mammoths and mastodons both roamed regions from North America and Asia to Siberia as far back as 2 million years ago. They all died out as glaciers melted and receded during the end of Ice Ages between 10,000 to 11,000 years ago, according to a King5 report.
The discovery serves as a jolting reminder of how extreme weather changes can eventually wipe out entire species.
The fate of the mammoth tusk found on Tuesday will be up to the private property owner.

Testimonials"Ginger and her entire team are doing an outrageously awesome job of getting these bugs resolved!!!"
- Tanya Christenson, Avista Utilities, Spokane, WA
Updated October 31st, 2012 to reflect the official release of Team Foundation Service.
Microsoft now provides a cloud based version of Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) called Team Foundation Service hosted at https://tfs.visualstudio.com.
This post provides high level analysis and review of the advantages and disadvantages of Team Foundation Service versus deploying Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (VS TFS) to corporate IT infrastructure or "on premise".[1]
Microsoft has made Visual Studio Team Foundation Server available in a cloud version as Team Foundation Service. Team Foundation Service is currently available to the public at http://tfs.visualstudio.com.
Team Foundation Service and VS TFS are the same product, but they are on different release cycles. Team Foundation Service is currently being updated every three weeks. Based on information posted recently on Microsoft blogs (see Visual Studio Update this Fall), Visual Studio will be updated on a quarterly cycle. These releases will include rollups of the releases deployed to Team Foundation Service.
Even though both products are TFS, there are some differences as detailed below.
Team Foundation Service Pros
The following benefits are realized in most environments that would otherwise self-host. Note that benefits will vary by organization.
Team Foundation Service Cons
The following potential shortcomings should be assessed when determining if Team Foundation Service will be right for you.
On Premise TFS
The primary requirement for running TFS on premise is the installation, configuration and maintenance of the required hardware and software. Maintaining the hardware, software and services can be a significant expense. Many existing IT departments are stretched to the limits and any easy way to offload tasks can bring welcome relief. However, corporations may well have requirements that make on premise TFS the only option.
The following points should be considered true of on premise TFS:
Migrating TFS between Cloud and On Premise
Data including source and work items maintained in a Team Foundation Service site can be migrated between on premise and cloud one of several ways. The right option depends on when the migration is needed and whether work item and source history is required.
We have found it very easy to start and run projects using Team Foundation Service. This includes connecting, setting up new projects, user accounts, creating product backlogs and running projects. However, a cloud based option is not going to be right in every situation and on-premise is still a very good option for deployment.
Note that the benefits and costs will need to be re-evaluated once final pricing for Team Foundation Service is determined, but a free level of service, limited to 5 users per project, will continue to be provided. See the FAQ for additional information on the Team Foundation Service.
[1] There are numerous other TFS deployment hosting scenarios not discussed.
Did I get this right, there's no way to integrate team foundation service with on-prem SharePoint?

This is a record of the next exhibitions that followed on from the first showing of Feast at Petit Pressigny. These art works began as a response to a series of photographs I took of rubbish thrown away on the street in an urban context.
I live and work in rural France exhibiting in galleries and outside in the public context. Although I have often used paint, I am constantly drawn into making constructs, installations, site-specific work and using found objects which throw up new directions and possibilities, constantly feeding off the mark-making, drawing and photography. As a printmaker, I have worked on projects for artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Gillian Ayres, JIm Dine, Victor Pasmore, Joe Tilson and many others. Further examples and work for sale plus some simple video presentations at www.artists.de/samuellee.html .

Over the last few months, have you noticed that life has grown harder in dozens of irritating little ways?
- Do people around you seem to be mumbling or whispering?
- Does a family member pass through the room and turn down the TV volume just after you get it to a level you're comfortable with?
- Do your children scold you for failing to answer the phone—when, truth to tell, you never heard it ring?
- Have you cut back on socializing and going out of the house because it's gotten harder to understand people when you're talking face to face?
Are you one of the 48 million Americans living with hearing loss?
Hearing Loss Takes You Out of Your Life. We Can Bring You Back.
Many patients ignore early signs of hearing loss because they think those indications "just aren't serious enough" to worry about. While hearing loss may not be causing pain, it does have a number of hazardous effects on patients' lives, from withdrawing from family gatherings and social events to worrying about aging and losing control over their lives.
The hearing care providers at Tru-Tone Hearing Aid Centers have been helping people hear better for over 30 years. Our Philadelphia and Delaware County hearing loss specialists know that hearing loss is an intensely personal battle, and that is why we work one-on-one with each of our patients to allay his or her fears and answer any questions.
We work from the ground up to restore lost hearing by helping patients in need of:
- Hearing Testing Many patients first come to us because they are not sure they need a hearing aid. Your ability to hear certain letter sounds, vocal registers, and volumes can all help determine what is causing your condition. Our testing lab can discover if your hearing loss is due to problems in the outer ear, inner ear, or cochlea, and can determine the extent of your hearing loss to help you find the treatment that is right for you.
- Hearing Aid Devices There are numerous types of hearing aids on the market, each with its own unique features to help patients get the most out of their devices. We offer a wide variety of hearing aid styles, including behind-the-ear models, custom-in-the-ear devices, micro-in-the-canal styles, or completely-in-the-canal devices. We can also customize your hearing experience by adding accessories to work with your device, such as wireless television transmission and automatic phone connections.
- Hearing Aid Repair and Maintenance Your hearing aid will need regular cleaning and maintenance to give you the best possible sound. We offer free cleaning, inspection, and sound checks on any hearing aids, whether they were purchased from us or somewhere else. If you choose to leave your device with us for repair, we are happy to loan you a hearing aid to use at no cost to you while yours is being serviced.
- Tinnitus Evaluation and Relief Are you still able to hear others perfectly, but have a buzzing or hissing sensation in your ears? Many patients will notice signs of tinnitus, a persistent ringing in the ears, before they notice any hearing loss. Our hearing care providers can determine the cause of your tinnitus and find an effective treatment, giving you even more control over what you hear and when you hear it.
Visit Us Today Or Have Our Hearing Specialists Come to You!
If you have been experiencing early symptoms of hearing loss, it's important to have your hearing tested as soon as possible. Our services can help determine if a hearing problem may be a symptom of a serious medical condition, can prevent balance problems that lead to falls, and can even reduce the likelihood of dementia later in life. It may be difficult for you to take the first step, but once you are able to hear the people you love clearly for the first time in years, your joy will be worth the effort.
All of our Philadelphia-area locations accept all major credit cards and many different insurance plans, helping our patients get the hearing correction they need at a price they can afford. Call the number on this page to get in touch with our offices today, or have our hearing specialists come directly to you. Tru-Tone Hearing Aid Centers serve patients in the greater Philadelphia area, including Bucks County, Montgomery County, and Delaware County, and other communities in Pennsylvania.

Mayor Kristen Brown will appoint Capt. Jon Rohde as Chief of the Columbus Police Department upon the retirement of Chief Jason Maddix effective May 20. Maddix is retiring from CPD to take a position as the North American Security Adviser for Cummins Inc.
Rohde is a 13-year veteran of CPD and has served as Administrative Captain on the department's command staff for the past two years. As Administrative Captain he has overseen the department's training, detectives division, narcotics division and records division, and has led the department's process for national accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
Capt. Rohde joined CPD in March 2001 and served seven years as a uniform officer. He also has served on and led the department's Narcotics and Vice Unit as a detective and sergeant. While serving in the Narcotics and Vice Unit, Rohde led the investigation of massage parlors that ended organized prostitution in Columbus. He also coordinated large-quantity drug and money seizures with federal and state agencies including the FBI, DEA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Marshalls. His other specialized experience includes serving on the CPD SWAT Team and as a Field Training Officer.
Rohde earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and political science from Indiana University and a law degree from the Indiana University School of Law in Indianapolis.
"Jon is an outstanding law enforcement leader and is exceptionally well qualified to lead the Columbus Police Department," Mayor Brown said. "He has the breadth of education and experience we need, is a proven leader and is very well respected across the board by our men and women in blue."
Columbus has the lowest violent crime rate in the state and lower than 90% of the nation. The city's property crime rate has significantly decreased by 18% over the past two years.
As Chief, Rohde's priorities will include continuing crime reduction and control by:
- Cracking down on illegal drugs that led to a 37% increase in drug-related arrests last year;
- Further building CPD's community policing efforts that resulted in a 45% increase in extra patrols of the city's most problematic neighborhoods last year;
- Traffic control that resulted in a nearly 120% increase in traffic stops in 2013.
Rohde will also make CPD more productive through efficiencies in policies and procedures and use of technology.
"I am honored to be our community's next police chief and to work with Mayor Brown and our citizens to continue reducing crime rates, aggressively battle the supply of illegal drugs and make our streets safe," Rohde said. "We have an excellent police department with officers who are committed to our community's safety and protection."
CPD's key command staff will continue in their positions under Rohde, including Deputy Chief Todd Harry and Uniform Capt. Mike Richardson. The command staff will fill the vacant Administrative Captain position once Rohde is officially sworn in as Chief.
"Jason has done a tremendous job leading CPD and making it a stronger, more proactive police department," Mayor Brown said. "I am personally grateful for all he's done for the department and our community."
Chief Maddix will continue to serve as Chief until his retirement date of May 20 to help transition Rohde to Chief.
"I have enjoyed my time as Chief and working with Mayor Brown to make CPD a stronger, more proactive police department," Maddix said. "Jon is very capable of leading CPD and will keep advancing the department forward."

Men's underwear brands embraced red this season, making it all but impossible not to dress to impress down below for the holidays.
The color red, rarely offered in men's underwear basics collections (which often are confined to black, white, blue and grey), has seen a resurgence in men's fashion. With a strong presence in next spring's men's underwear offerings, as well, there's talk of red joining the ranks of basics mainstays next year.
For this season, though, look out for deep, rich crimsons like C-IN2′s Blood Red, or the romantic reds used by Emporio Armani. Cherry red from the likes of Andrew Christian and MeUndies popped us, as well. Blood to cherry, these reds all pop — a perfect statement for the holidays.

College Hockey:Testwuide Nets Hat Trick as CC Rallies to Tie DU
Penalty Shot Goal in Last Minute Caps Rally
DENVER — For the second straight night, archrivals Denver University and Colorado College deliered an entertaining and action-packed game for a packed house.
In the second game of a home-and-home, the WCHA's top two teams battled to a 4-4 tie at Magness Arena, behind a gutsy third period comeback by the Tigers.
"You've got to give credit to CC for making a great comeback," said Pioneers' coach George Gwozdecky. "We had our chances, but so did they."
The Pioneers started off the scoring and a wild first period just 68 seconds into the game when Tyler Ruegsegger sniped a shot top shelf short side from the bottom of the left circle over Tigers' goaltender Joe Howe's right shoulder.
CC wasted no time in answering, scoring their first goal 73 seconds after DU. Denver defenseman Patrick Wiercioch flubbed a clearing attempt and CC's Brian McMillin swept in, picked up the puck and beat Pioneers' netminder Marc Cheverie high.
The Tigers went up 2-1 with just under 12:30 left in the period when Mike Testwuide, on a two-on-one with Nate Prosser, snapped a quick shot over Cheverie (28 saves). Earlier in the play, CC's Stephen Schultz hip-checked Wiercioch, taking him out of the game and re-aggravating his earlier knee injury.
However, Denver tied it back up 2:10 later on a Jesse Martin power-play goal. Howe kicked a Joe Colborne shot off to his left where it was picked up by Anthony Maiani, who quickly dished it to Martin in the high slot, who fired it past Howe (32 saves).
The teams remained tied at two for the majority of the second period until Rhett Rakhshani scored a power-play goal and a short-handed goal. His first tally came 12:52 into the period when he took a pass from Ruegsegger, walked around two CC defenders and fired a bullet from the left hashmarks that beat Howe high glove side.
Then, a little over three minutes later, Rakhshani cleared the puck behind the Tigers' defense while short-handed, came in all alone on Howe, deked, and then went to the goalie's right and slid it in.
CC made it a 4-3 game 3:14 into the third period when Testwuide scored his second of the game. Testwuide picked off a Ruegsegger pass near the boards and rushed down ice on a short-handed breakaway, beating Cheverie with a simple wrist shot.
"Mike Testwuide just oozes with character and put the team on his back tonight," said CC coach Scott Owens.
"It's disappointing like hell," said Gwozdecky of his team losing the lead in the third. "We've got the game where we want it and they don't have a lot of life — Mike Testwuide was outstanding. We make a glaring error but he makes a great play to force a turnover and come down the ice and score on the breakaway to close the gap to one and at that point, the game started to change."
The Tigers had a golden chance to tie it up with 5:14 left in the third with a full two minutes of a five-on-three advantage, but the Pioneers killed it off, raising a roar from the 6,046 in attendance.
With 40 seconds remaining in the third period, CC was awarded a penalty shot. In the course of a CC flurry around the Denver net, DU's Matt Donovan lifted the back of the net up, negating what would have been a CC goal for William Rapuzzi and therefore resulting in a penalty shot.
Testwuide was awarded the shot and scored, beating Cheverie on his backhand, tying the game up, getting a hat trick and sending the game into overtime.
"We had a lively discussion because any of the six [on the ice] could have taken the shot," said Owens. "But Mike said, 'I want the shot. I want to take the shot,' and that's your captain and that's completing the hat trick and scoring making a heck of a move."
"I was thinking, 'Shoot,' kind of the whole time and I just saw he kind of kept backing up into his net and I pulled it backhand and luckily it found the back of the net," said Testwuide, whose hat trick was his collegiate first.
The teams battled through overtime, but the game ended in a tie.
"It was a huge point; it was more than just a point in the standings for us," said Owens. "It's a character point. Were we a real good hockey team tonight? No, not necessarily. Were they pretty good? Yeah, their forwards were unbelievable tonight."
The Pioneers next face the University of Minnesota-Duluth in a two game series in Duluth while the Tigers travel to St. Cloud State University.

The man believed to be responsible for burglarizing a Newport, Tenn., family's home and stomping their small dog to death, will not face any charges, reported Thursday's WBIR News.
Thanks to a technicality, the charges against 22-year-old Christopher Haney, have been completely dropped.
Haney was accused of breaking into the LaForce family's home in Nov. 2012; during the course of the breaking, the family's 14-month-old dog "Simon," was killed.
The family found the dog in a pool of blood - he was believed to have been stomped to death.
Haney, a neighbor to the burglarized family, was arrested in February 2013, but a judge threw out the charges against him because the evidence, including several of the family's stolen items, which was found in Haney's bedroom cannot be utilized since the officer did not have a search warrant.
According to the report, the officer who found stolen goods inside of Haney's bedroom, in a house where Haney was staying, had permission from the homeowner to conduct the search. The permission to search, however, did not extend into Haney's bedroom.

For the week of
May 04, 2012
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — People concerned about declining North Carolina fish stocks
should take a closer look at so-called "catch shares," a system that
uses property rights to help protect a valuable resource. That's the
conclusion the John Locke Foundation's top regulatory expert reaches in a
new Spotlight report.
"Injecting property rights via catch shares could bring North Carolina's
fishermen the security of a guaranteed portion of the allowable fish
catch, the freedom of more days at sea, the benefit of an increased
harvest stock size, and the discretion to harvest in opportune times,"
said report author Jon Sanders, JLF Director of Regulatory Studies. "Depending on the system's design, fishermen would have opportunities to
trade shares and to work together voluntarily to ensure the
sustainability of their calling."
Sanders examined catch shares in response to growing concerns about
North Carolina's offshore fishing stocks. "What you have is a classic
case of the economic problem labeled the 'tragedy of the commons,'" he
said. "When a scarce resource belongs to everyone, it will tend toward
depletion. The economic incentives are essentially first come, first
served. That prompts a rush to consume, with no countervailing incentive
to conserve."
A 2011 report from the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries listed 12
groups of fish as viable or recovering, while stocks of another 13 fish
groups raised concerns, seven groups were depleted, and the status was
unknown for another seven stocks.
"Several stocks are either highly limited or prohibited to fishermen or,
in the case of black sea bass, essentially prohibited to all but a
handful," Sanders said. "The situation highlights the need for new
management ideas."

CJ: Eight Republicans hope to succeed Heath ShulerRALEIGH – There's no shortage of Republican
candidates seeking their party's nomination for the 11th Congressional

CORVALLIS, Ore. - The No. 1 ranked Oregon softball team used big fifth and seventh innings to overcome an early deficit and beat rival Oregon State, 10-5, in the first of a three-game Pac-12 Conference series on Saturday afternoon.
The Ducks (35-5, 9-1 Pac-12) tallied 10 runs on 11 hits with no errors while the Beavers (13-21, 3-8) posted five runs on six hits with five errors.
Cheridan Hawkins (21-3) picked up the win after tossing a complete game with five runs allowed on six hits plus one walk and eight strikeouts.
Oregon State hit a pair of two-run homers but defensive lapses and the Ducks' own big bats turned the tides.
After the Beavers went ahead, 2-0, on a two-run shot in the third inning by Kori Nishitomi, the Ducks scored their first run in the fourth. Alyssa Gillespie scored from third when Kailee Cuico's grounder to the pitcher was misplayed for an error.
Oregon went ahead for good with its big fifth inning. The Ducks loaded the bases with one out before Nikki Udria tied up the game on a strange play. After Alexa Peterson struck out for the second out of the inning, Udria was caught in a run down between third and home but Udria was able to beat a throw back home and scored.
Kailee Cuico drew a walk to load the bases again in the fifth, bringing up Lindvall. The sophomore catcher slugged a 3-1 pitch deep over the fence in center to give the Ducks a 6-2 lead.
"Early on OSU did a great job of keeping the ball down but eventually we caught some breaks and Janelle capitalized on a pitch up," said head coach Mike White.
Another homer in the sixth inning brought cut the Ducks' lead to just one run, 6-5, but Oregon scored some insurance runs in the seventh.
Despite Oregon State gunning down two Ducks at home earlier in the seventh, Courtney Ceo drove in a pair of runs on a single to right and two more scored on an error by the first baseman.
Ceo and Gillespie each went 2-for-5 while Janie Takeda, Cuico, Koral Costa and Sammie Puentes each added a hit.
Hawkins picked up her 21st win in her 15th complete game of the season.
"Cheridan pitched well, just a couple of mistakes as well," White added. "She used some different pitches today and worked counts well."

Nautic Global Group hiring more workers to meet rising demand
The company will interview prospective employees on Tuesday, Feb. 25.
ELKHART — An Elkhart-based boat maker says it needs to hire more workers to meet rising demand for its products.
Nautic Global Group, which makes pontoon and deck boats, will be accepting applications and conducting "open interviews" from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 25, at its Hurricane 2 plant, 4310 Middlebury St.
The company is looking to fill 70 open positions among its three area plants in Elkhart, at 300 E. Chicago St., Syracuse, and 300 W. Chicago St. in Syracuse.
Nautic Global Group is expanding production across five brands: Hurricane, Rinker, Godfrey Pontoons, Polar Kraft and Parti Kraft.
"These are exciting times for Nautic Global Group, and as the demand for our products increase, we will continue to rely heavily on the strong workforce found throughout Michiana," said Doug Sexton, senior vice president of sales and marketing.
This is the second time in recent months that the company has announced it needs more workers. In early December it publicized a job fair in which it said it was looking for 100 new workers.
Most of these 70 positions being filled this week are in addition to the 100 hired from the December job fair, said Jeff Roth, marketing director.
The pay ranges from $10 an hour for assembly workers to $18.25 an hour and up for more skilled positions, such as welders. Positions include fiberglass lamination (rollers, gel coaters, fiberglass repair/buffers), industrial sewers, upholsterers, assemblers with air tool experience, maintenance technicians and aluminum TIG welders.

Multiple-Respondent Anecdotal Assessments for Behavior Disorders: An Analysis of Interrater Agreement and Correspondence With Functional Analysis Outcomes
Date: August 2004
Creator: Fahrenholz, Anney Renee
Description: An analysis of interrater agreement across multiple respondents on anecdotal assessments and correspondence between functional analysis outcomes was completed. Experiment I evaluated overall agreement among multiple respondents (direct-care staff) on the hypothesized function of each residents (28 adults with mental retardation) problematic behavior using the Motivational Assessment Scale (MAS) and the Functional Analysis Screening Tool (FAST). Results of the questionnaires indicated that respondents agreed on the function of the problematic behavior for 10 of the 28 residents. Experiment II examined whether, for selected cases in which 4 out of 5 respondents agreed on the function of the problematic behavior, correspondence occurred between functional analyses and anecdotal assessments outcomes. Two of the 6 functional analyses did not evoke the problematic behavior. However, 4 functional analyses did produce corresponding outcomes suggesting that, when the functional analyses produced interpretable data, the results of the functional analyses corresponded with those of the anecdotal assessments.

New Reality Resembles Old: An Examination of the American Public's Social Construction of Reality Following September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks
Date: May 2004
Creator: Stoutmeyer, Stacie L.
Description: This thesis examines whether the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks caused a significant, lasting change in the American public's social construction of reality. A framework of everyday reality was created which focused on beliefs, behaviors, and cultural institutions in the United States. Data regarding specific beliefs and behaviors was collected from numerous survey sources, and content analysis was performed on media literature from September 11, 2001 to September 11, 2003. Findings from this study show that beliefs examined did change, while behaviors on similar topics did not. These finding represents an interesting paradox to be evaluated in future studies. Cultural institutions, as related to the public's knowledge of and relationship with each, also appeared little changed. Therefore, while some aspects displayed adjustment, this study cannot conclusively state that American public's social construction of reality experienced a "new reality" paradigm shift as proclaimed by the media immediately following the attacks.

The Effects of a Remote Control Tactile Feedback System on Conversation Skills in Children with Autism.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Shively, Jane M.
Description: A few studies have examined the effects of a remote control tactile device (RCT) as an unobtrusive prompting method used to promote skills such as verbal initiations and play behaviors in children with autism. To date, however, no published studies have investigated the effects of the RCT as a consequence to increase and maintain conversation skills. This study was designed to determine whether the RCT, in conjunction with common training techniques (i.e. roleplays, visual feedback, and sibling coaching), could be used as a discrete and unobtrusive feedback system to promote conversation skills in high functioning children with autism. Results found that the RCT and training packages were effective in initially increasing rates of target responses. The effects however, did not always maintain with a return to baseline. Programming "naturally" maintaining communities of reinforcement was found to be a critical factor in the maintenance of the conversational responses.

The Effects of "Errorless" Training and Testing on the Performances of Typically Developing Children During Acquisition and Retention.
Date: December 2003
Creator: Arnadottir, Iris
Description: This study examines the effects of two teaching procedures and two testing procedures ("Skip" and "Guess") on acquisition, retention and generalization of learning. Three typically developing females between the ages of 8 and 11 learned the 24 lower case letters of the Greek alphabet. Half of the letters were taught with the "Skip" procedure and the other half with the "Guess" procedure. The "Skip" procedure produced faster and more efficient learning than the "Guess" procedure. The "Skip" procedure also resulted in better initial retention (4 weeks), but this effect disappeared in subsequent retention tests. The training conditions did not have differential effects on generalization tests across learning channels, except for the Free/Say channel.

The Effects of Workshop Training and Coaching on the Acquisition and Generalization of Teaching Skills
Date: December 2003
Creator: Almon, Holly C.
Description: The purpose of this study was threefold: (a) to examine the separate effects of increased accuracy on multiple-choice/rank-order written tests and coaching on the teaching performance of participants; (b) to compare generalization across tasks produced by the workshop and coaching; and (c) to assess maintenance of teaching performance. Following baseline, two adults received a lecture on discrete trial teaching procedures. A written test measured verbal performance on workshop material periodically throughout this phase. During the next phase, each adult then experienced further training via in-situ coaching. A multiple baseline design across tasks was used during the coaching phase. Results of the workshop training package revealed an inverse relationship between the strongest verbal performance and strongest teaching performance skill areas. In addition, only with the introduction of the in-situ coaching package did teacher performance improve significantly across all behaviors. Child responding remained relatively constant throughout the study, regardless of teacher performance. Some generalization of teacher behavior was observed across tasks, but was extremely variable across both workshop and coaching conditions. After the cessation of coaching, teacher performance remained stable across maintenance phases and at a 6-week follow-up.

Texas Cities and the Economic Development Sales Tax
Date: December 2003
Creator: Comer-HaGans, DeLawnia
Description: Competition to lure corporations has become an enormous issue between states. Smaller communities feel unable to participate in economic development opportunities since their budgets do not provide the necessary funding. In 1979, the Texas state legislature passed the Development Corporation Act in an attempt to aid the smaller communities' quest for economic development. The Act allowed for the creation of local development corporations; however, it did not provide a sufficient funding source to assist the corporations. Therefore two local sales options were established. This paper reports the findings of an analysis of per capita income and employment changes after the adoption of an economic development sales tax. The analysis showed no statistically significant impacts on cities adopting an economic development sales tax when compared with non-adopting cities.

New Surveillance Technologies and the Invasion of Privacy Rights
Date: August 2003
Creator: Simsek, Yilmaz
Description: Definition of privacy has changed by the changes and improvements in information and surveillance technologies. These changes and improvement need new legal decisions for new kinds of privacy invasions. This study explores the scope of privacy right, particularly when a technological surveillance has occurred by law enforcement agencies. It focuses in particular on increasing law enforcements' surveillance technologies and devices that have the potential to impact citizens' information privacy. These increasing changes in surveillance technologies have important implications both for law enforcements and citizens. This study also discusses increasing law enforcement surveillance for the public's security, changes of the laws that allow law enforcements to use new surveillance powers as a war on terrorism, and the citizens concerns of information privacy. A particular attention is given to the recent public opinion surveys which show citizens' increasing privacy concerns. Finally, a set of recommendations to figure out security-privacy debate and reduce the privacy concerns of the citizens is offered.

Plan Types and Their Effect on Retirement Patterns
Date: August 2003
Creator: Marrone, Mickey M.
Description: In 1993, 38.9 million people were covered by a 401(k) plan, up from 7.1 million in 1983. The rapid growth of 401(k) and other defined contribution pension plans may alter retirement patterns of older workers. Previous research showed that the spread of defined benefit plans, with sharp age-related incentives first discouraging and later encouraging retirement, contributed to the early retirement trend of past decades. Defined contribution plans differ along several dimensions, especially in their smooth rate of pension wealth accrual. Data from the Health and Retirement Study show that retirement patterns have begun to change as defined contribution plans have spread. Estimates indicate that the financial incentives in defined benefit pensions lead people to retire almost two years earlier, compared to people with defined contribution plans.

The Restructuring of the Electric Power Industry in California and in Texas: An Examination and Comparison of Deregulation as Legislated
Date: August 2003
Creator: Lewis, Rebecca Joy
Description: California legislated the restructuring of its electric power industry in 1996. Deregulation was successful until 2000 when crisis, caused by a number of outside forces and flawed legislation, sent wholesale electric prices skyrocketing. Restructuring of the electricity sector in Texas occurred in two phases. The first phase began in 1995, when wholesale markets were opened to competition; the second phase began June 18, 1997, when the 1999 Texas Electric Choice Act, was signed into law. Deregulation has largely been successful in Texas. This analysis examines the legislation of these states and how they differed, setting the stage for one unsuccessful and one successful move to retail competition in the electricity industry.
