Not What I ExpectedIt is a small/compact hair dryer, light weight but it fails in what it's suppose to do, dry hair. It takes forever to blow dry my hair. I have medium length straight hair and it took too long. I bought this to take with me on vacation and have decided to return it. I have a travel blow dryer that i bought from the sharper image that cost me half as much and is 100% better. I'll be taking that one instead. THis is the first time I purchase something from Folica that i'm not completely happy with.Feb 16, 2010Janet / Alexandria, VA

Light But Missing A Cold SettingThis blow dryer is light but I wish it had a cold setting. I have had this for 2 years and the handle has worn out quite a bit so that the plastic under neath comes through. I also find that the air flow is not strong enough. I find the con-air at my gym have stronger air flow than this. Then again, this is a travel size hair dryer.Feb 8, 2010Catherine

Good Hair DryerI purchased this hair dryer for 2 reasons: 1) My old one was getting too hot and burning my hair and 2) I needed a travel hair dryer. This hair dryer does not dry my hair in record time but it is so light that I love it anyway. If you're looking for a dryer that is both light and dries your hair in "sufficient" but not "super fast" time, I would recommend this one.Jan 31, 2010Gail / Toledo, Ohio, USA

AwesomeI just got this dryer yesterday and it is awesome. I was worried about getting a dual voltage because I wasn't sure if it would work well on the different setting. I haven't tried the 110 setting, but the 220 works awesome and it gets super hot, I even had to keep in on low near my face because it worked so well. It's super small and light and it was nice because my arm didn't get tired at all. It takes a while to dry my hair, but this was quite fast and painless! So far so good, I'm so glad I shelled out for this as I can now take it with me everywhere!Sep 29, 2009Valerie

Awesome Dryer & Great To Use All The TimeI got this to use once in a while when I'm traveling, but I luv it so much that I use it all the time. It's not too noisey, super-duper lite & leaves me w/very little frizz (& I have the frizziest, poofiest hair in the world).Sep 11, 2009Sara / New York, NY

Folica Is The Best!!!!I had previously purchased a Solia hair dryer, which I like but it was too heavy to lug around on plane trips, so I bought this one. It's awesome!! I've been using it on a daily basis, and I haven't seen any hair damage. Also, the weight of the Superlite is definitely a huge improvement - I can hold it up and blowdry my extremely thick and wavy hair without so much effort. The only thing that I like on the Solia that this dryer doesn't have is the cold blast, but I can definitely live without it, given the lighter weight. Even on the lowest setting, the Superlite is extremely powerful. I've been a repeat customer of Folica because of their awesome customer service, and I only trust them for my hair supplies! :)Sep 10, 2009AlleenHAIR TYPEChemically Treated Hair

Perfect For Globetrotting!I work overseas and travel on a regular basis. This dryer is absolutely wonderful - I cant believe I never bought one sooner! With the dual-voltage, all you need is an adapter for non-US plugs. I carry one of the multi-adapters with me... and no matter where I end up, this baby will work like a charm. I also use it as a regular dryer at times since it works so well! Im thoroughly impressed - and even though some might consider this dryer pricey... its well worth it, especially considering I dont have to keep buying converters / different dryers in different countries! 5 stars!May 20, 2008Anonymous / Louisiana / Iraq

X5 Tourmaline Travel DryerThis is the best travel hair dryer I have EVER used. In fact, it works better than my T3 $200 hair dryer! This little guy dries my hair fast and without making it feel frizzy or dry. It takes up almost no space in my bag and cools off very fast so I can pack it up and check out of my hotel quickly. I travel a bunch for work and have gone through 3 travel dryers before finding this one. I highly recommend this to anyone who travels and doesnt want to lug around full size dryers or use those horrid hotel dryers.Apr 15, 2008Karin C. / California

MARTIN O'NEILL has reinstalled Stephane Sessegnon in to Sunderland's starting line-up for this afternoon's visit of Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League.
Sessegnon has returned to the fold after a three match ban for his sending off against Newcastle United earlier this month.
He slots back in alongside Nicklas Bendtner in attack, with Fraizer Campbell rested after an extended run in the team after injury.

There is also a return for John O'Shea, who missed the midweek defeat at Blackburn. He replaces Phil Bardsley after O'Neill opted to give him extra-time to recover from a series of niggles.
There is also no place in the match-day squad for Swedish winger Seb Larsson through injury.
Former Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton, meanwhile, has been dropped by Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes. Barton is on the bench.

We've got some more good news for a Friday, iPad app fans.
We will be adding the following channels from Fox to our iPad lineup:
- National Geographic Channel
- Fox News Channel
We've got some more good news for a Friday, iPad app fans.
We will be adding the following channels from Fox to our iPad lineup:
FOX Soccer Channel and FOX itself please. Or are you not allowed to broadcast network channels? Would like to be able to only see my list of channels to on the left side. Too many to finger thru now!
Also…I'd like to ask, as this app can only be used within the home, is the quality of the video going to improve in the near future? I understand you are probably using a low bit rate to get this app off the ground but with amazing HD being pumped out thru my 40 inch HD tv, I truly would only use this app in my home if something happened to my tv….or unless the quality of video improved on the app as it looks a ways off from HD. Whatever CBS did with the Masters (html5?) seems way ahead in terms of quality. I like where you're going…but this truly needs to be portable outside of a home with a near HD picture before I would seriously use.
I Want channel 12 univision on the iPad app!
Shouldn't the app be called TV On your IPad in your home if your tv doesn't work and you are ok with standard definition?
I absolutely LOVE this app!!!! I bring my iPad from room to room while I get things done around the house. I could never justify sitting on the couch to watch t.v. Now I have the best of both worlds. I get excited each time you add more channels! Could you add the actual channel number to the list of shows? Sometimes I can not finish watching and would like to dvr it without having to search for the actual channel number. Good Luck Time Warner…I appreciate all you're doing to make this possible in our homes!
THANKS FOR BRINGING Fox News back.
I'm with Love2run, this app is great for people who don't want to sit all night to watch TV. I appreciate the work it took for them to get the channes back!
Jeff. I dont use it. Hence the suggestion. Don't like suggestions for improvement? Then don't blog about it. Jobs done here
Gorgeous app. Love the seamless load time. I do agree that with person above about customizing channel selection on left side. Keep it up.
how about an iPHONE app isntead of just iPAD… There are times a little screen will do just fine!! Show us some love TWC!!!
All I say is. TWC you must have broadband. Cable vision
You do not. Hence TWC feels another reason customers
Will keep bb service.

College Hockey:UNH Claims Second Hockey East Crown
PC's Bugden Named MVP in Losing Effort
DURHAM, N.H. — Hockey East top seed and nationally-ranked No. 4 New Hampshire got a goal in each period from three different goal-scorers, and held on to down a
tenacious Providence College team that needed a win here to keep its season alive. The 3-1 final score, which included an empty net tally, gave the Wildcats the automatic berth in the NCAA tournament that comes with the Hockey East crown.
This pairing of teams is no surprise in some sense. New Hampshire and Providence have met in the Hockey East championship game in three out of five years since the league was formed. No team from the league has won either the regular season or the postseason Hockey East title other than one of these two squads.
However, the motivation for each team was different. Providence needed the Hockey East autobid to continue its season, while New Hampshire, a lock
for the NCAA tournament anyway, wanted to head into the national tournament on a high note and secure home ice for the NCAA quarterfinals.
"I thought the game was as advertised," said UNH coach Brian McCloskey. "They had a lot at stake. And whenever you have a senior goaltender [like
PC's Jana Bugden] you have extra motivation."
PC relied quite heavily on Bugden, who made 34 saves in the game today, after making 33 in a 3-2 win over Boston College in the semifinals. Bugden
was named the MVP of the tournament, the first first time in the short history of the women's Hockey East tournament that the MVP has come from the losing team.
"I've never been prouder of a team than I was of this one," said PC coach Bob Deraney. "And we've been on the winning side of this game. But I've never been prouder that I was today, with the way the team played.
"I've said before that whenever you have a goalie, you are in every game," he added. "Bugden gave us a chance to win."
"You have to get her moving," said UNH's Sam Faber, who was named to the All-Tournament team. "They have such a strong defense that it is hard to get any movement."
New Hampshire's Kacey Bellamy scored the game's first goal just seconds after what had been the back-end of a two-man advantage expired. Bellamy took a pass from captain Jennifer Hitchcock from behind the net, and scored in the wide open left side of the basket. The net was empty because Hitchcock, who had a goal and an assist in yesterday's game, took a shot on the right-hand side of the net, which got Providence goalie Jana Bugden to drop to the ice to block the side of the net. Bugden couldn't recover in time to stop Bellamy's shot.
"It would have been deflating if we hadn't scored at the end of that power play sequence," said McCloskey. "We were moving the puck really well and generating a lot of chances."
The slow start was the second in a row for the Friars. PC had been outshot 15-3 by BC in yesterday's semifinal, while in today's game UNH had a 13-6 first period edge.
Also for the second straight day, the upstart Friars came back to tie the game, and Minnesota-Dulth transfer Mari Pehkonen spurred the scoring. Pehkonen, an All-Tournament selection, gave linemate Erin Normore a pass that sent her on a breakaway deep in the New Hampshire zone. Normore got off the shot, which went right between the legs of UNH goalie Melissa Bourdon.
The lead was short-lived however, as New Hampshire regained the lead just three minutes later, on Wildcat Lindsey Caleo's eighth goal of the season. Caleo slid behind the PC net to pick up a loose puck, spin around the net, and shot high over Bugden's shoulder. The goal, which made the score 2-1, proved to be the game-winner.
"Caleo is crafty, coming behind the goal," said McCloskey. "She made the goalie make a move. Bugden is very agressive, covering pucks, cutting down angles. You have to get her moving, like Lindsey did today."
"Everyone was exactly where we wanted them to be," said Caleo. "We created a turnover, and I tried to do the wraparound that I always do. I almost lost it — I know I would have heard about it from the coach if I had," she joked.
Losing the lead was unfortunate, said Deraney, but not devastating. "We were down 2-0 to BC in the semifinal, but we came back to win. As long as it was a one goal deficit, I thought the game was within reach."
The third period saw New Hampshire dominate the ice territorially, as UNH forwards spent much of the period in the Providence offensive zone. The shots were fairly limted, but the Friars had limited offensive chances to tie the game. UNH could not put the game away.
"We knew that we had to get to the outside to get some chances," said McCloskey. "Providence has a very good defense, they are very good at collapsing on the puck defensively. So we knew we would have to get the puck through the defense, and hope for some good bounces."
The best Friar chance came with about four minutes remaining in the period, as Sonny Watrous sent Brittony Nelson in on a break, but Bourdon made the save, and Erin Normore couldn't quite get her stick on the rebound in front of the empty net.
As a loss in this game would end the Providence season, Deraney decided to pull the goalie with 2:18 left in the third period, following a time out. PC had several chances to score, but eventually Faber came up with the empty net goal to seal the win for UNH.

PHOENIX (AP) — Candice Dupree had 22 points and a franchise-record 19 rebounds to help the Phoenix Mercury clinch a playoff spot with a 93-77 victory over the Los Angeles Sparks on Saturday night.
Diana Taurasi added 24 points for the Mercury (18-13), who remained a half-game behind second-place Seattle going into the final week of the season.
Candace Parker had a season-high 32 points for Los Angeles (13-18), which is on the brink of elimination from playoff contention. The Sparks, two games behind fourth-place San Antonio, host the Silver Stars on Tuesday.
Los Angeles, which trailed by eight after the third quarter, pulled to 80-75 with 4:34 remaining. However, Taurasi converted a pair of free throws and then hit a 3-pointer to help secure the win.

Butch Jones first National Signing Day as Tennessee's new football coach went off with only minimal upheaval.
In the end, UT's signing class was ranked 29th in the nation by ESPN. Other services did have the Vols ranked slightly higher. Based on the ESPN rankings the Vols were 11th in the SEC, ahead of only Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri.
The biggest loss for the Vols was 5-star Vonn Bell, of Rossville, Ga., who signed with Ohio State. The safety was a highly regarded prospect at a position in which the Vols have a significant need.
Three other players announced their decision in favor of the Vols today:
Three-star defensive linemen Jaylen Miller and Malik Brown, and four-star quarterback Joshua Dobbs all chose UT over other suitors. Dobbs had previously been committed to Arizona State.
Although the Vols failed to sign the big-name running back the coaching staff desired, they did manage to flip East Carolina commit Jabo Lee, a 3-star all-purpose back from South Carolina. At 5-10 and 180lbs, Lee clearly lacks the size of typical SEC backs, but RB Coach Jay Graham describes him as a winner with good vision and a nose for the end zone.
The 2013 signing class consists of five early enrollees and 16 National Signing Day additions. The class features players from eight different states, including six from Tennessee, four from Georgia and three from Florida. North Carolina, South Carolina, California, Ohio, and Maryland were also represented in the 2013 class.
From a leisurely perusal of the rankings, the casual observer may determine that National Signing Day was just one more step down the road of mediocrity for the Tennessee football program,
But, Coach Jones scrambled to assemble a staff and hold onto previous commitments, and make some new ones. He has a record of success on the field and as a recruiter and should be given the benefit of the doubt at this stage. Ultimately the ranking for this signing class will be determined in four years.

Georgia Supreme Court Elects to Uphold State Tort Reform Law That Divvies Up Damage Awards To Plaintiffs In Premises Liability Cases
A small victory for property owners took place in the legal arena this summer. In July, Georgia's Supreme Court upheld the validity of a key tort reform law that permits juries to consider "the fault of [a personal injury plaintiff's] assailants and apportion the amount of the damages based on the percentage of all those responsible for the attack." The court also said a jury can receive a special verdict form requiring it to decide how much the [property owners] and "the assailants should pay, should the jury find them liable," according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
By an overwhelming vote of 5-2, the high court made this decision in response to a case involving an Atlanta Red Roof Inn hotel owner and a patron who was attacked on the hotel's premises by persons unknown. The victim sued the "owners for failing to keep their premises safe and provide adequate security." Property owners are, of course, delighted that the tort reform law has been upheld, as it drives down costs for what they often deem to be unfortunate circumstances over which they have absolutely no control. Personal injury plaintiffs' attorneys are concerned, however, that this ruling will have the unfair result of preventing victims from being "fully compensated for their injuries."

Heritage indian restaurant and caterers has stood the test of time since its opening in 2000 in New Hyde Park, Long Island. Heritage reflects the glory of India, and is known not only for its scenic beauty, but also for its rich food which includes tandooris, kormas, shorbas and curries. . Heritage restaurant serves authentic Indian cuisine with a perfect ambience, traditional Indian décor, art and music.
The Heritage menu is carefully crafted, original, and beautifully presented to let you savour the very best of North Indian cuisine. Heritage offers a wide array of mouth watering kebabs, kormas, dumpukht biryanis and curries and an exceptional selection of cocktails, beers, and fine wines. Neil Bhatia, the owner/host of this renowned restaurant is charming, dapper, and welcoming with years of fine hospitality experience.
We visited Heritage for an early dinner on a beautiful sunny spring day in April. The restaurant with its vibrant color exterior and awning give the appearance of an exotic dining venue reminiscent of native india.. We entered the restaurant and were immediately impressed with the rich wooden beams, decorative tile floors, and beautiful bar and dining room. Neil introduced himself and seated us at a comfortable table near the front of the restaurant. Our evening was made more enjoyable by the warmth and professionalism of Priti our young and vivacious staff member.
Neil had arranged a series of traditional tapas type plates of indian specialties. We began our indian culinary journey with:
-a plate of stuffed mushrooms- mushrooms stuffed with cheese, nuts, ginger and cilantro. gently fried and served with a small cup of honey mustard. A great way to start our meal, mild and easy to digest.
-Heritage house salad- Tri-color greens with sun dried tomatoes, cucumber, carrots, onions and beet strips. Beautifully plated. A visual and taste treat.
Neil then brought us an assortment of wonderfully tasty traditional indian bread (Naan)- We sampled Naan rothi- freshly baked flour bread/whole wheat bread. We also enjoyed garlic naan- flavored with garlic and cilantro. Both breads were delicious on their own and perfect for dipping the juices and sauces during the meal.
It was now time for our entrees-
a bowl of rich, "Chicken Makhani"- chicken tikka simmered in a mild tomato sauce- delicious chunks of white chicken meat in a red sauce tasting much like a gourmet tomatoe soup.
Veggie Jalfrezi - An assortment of vegetables- broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes, in a mild cumin sauce.
Basil Garlic Shrimps- Tossed in a mild basil garlic sauce with a touch of white wine- Large, delectable shrimp, deliciously scented and highly enjoyable.
We decided to end our Indian gourmet dinner with two unique, sweet and wonderful desserts:
-Kesari Kheer- an indian version of rice pudding
-Kulfi Plata- Pistachio ice cream- delicious and more in common with Gelato than ice cream.
-We also enjoyed a delicious drink of blended mango and yogurt .
Indian food is all about taste and fragrance! Heritage offers their customers a perfect blend of both in each of their dishes.Heritage is noted for their exceptional catering for weddings, events, in house & at many of the leading hotels and catering halls on long island, new york and new jersey.
Wonderful food, and authentic indian ambiance and charm, highly professional service.
Highly recommended for couples, families, and parties.
Kudos to Neil for his gracious hospitality, and Priti for her excellent service.
Heritage, 2024 Hillside Avenue, New Hyde Park, NY 11040 tel 516-352-9305

At the top of the configurations, he installed it on a system packing a 266MHz Pentium II, 128MB of RAM and a 4MB graphics card. After succeeding, he decreased the RAM capacity to 96MB, which also handled 7. His experiment came to a temporary halt after dropping the RAM to 64MB. Hackerman's fun won't end there, though. He plans to try and get Windows 7 up and running on a 166MHz Pentium I and 1MB graphics card next.
There is no mention of install or boot times for the Pentium II system, but other forum members have provided the information for a Pentium III PC. They say it took the antique system 17 hours to install Microsoft's latest OS, and a patience-shattering 17 minutes to boot.

Please allow me a brief personal note before we get into the meat of this update from our latest cruise through the classic car world:
When I worked at AutoWeek magazine back in the previous century, my youngest daughter and I would drive from Michigan down to Auburn, Indiana, on the Saturday of the Labor Day weekend to spend the day at the Kruse Auction, where she would especially enjoy seeing nearly a dozen Ferraris as they awaited their turn across the block.
Fast forward to 2013 and I'm back at Auburn, but this time on a Friday morning and with my youngest daughter's nephew, my 11-year-old grandson, Nick (see photo). It's no longer the Kruse auction. But the Auburn Auction Park is even bigger and better and instead of one auction, now there are two -- the Auctions America event at the auction park one Interstate exit south of the city and the Worldwide Auctioneers Auburn sale held in the historic L29 Cord Building just behind the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Museum near downtown Auburn.
While there are more than a thousand vehicles, and seemingly thousands of people, at Auctions America, there are only some 80 vehicles at Worldwide, where it still was preview days and not only that but early Friday morning there are only a few other folks exploring the available lots.
I was impressed by Nick's good taste in classic cars. He loved the two vintage 1909 and 1910 Winchester motorcycles, thought the big blue 1933 Auburn Twelve was awesome --and the gold-plated 1918 Pierce-Arrow was awful -- decided the vehicle he most wanted to take home was the 1924 Seagrave fire engine, and, like me, was fascinated by the Caterpillar No. 4 Hi-Way Patrol, an early road grader (see photo), but, unlike me, really liked the 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible.
Corky Coker is the evangelist who preaches the "take a kid to a car show" sermon and I found the experience just as rewarding as Corky promised it would be. Nick and I both had a great time, now have a memory to share, but also a regret that we didn't go back Saturday for the Worldwide auction. That nifty No. 4 Cat sold for only $2,310! Way to pick, Nick.
I mentioned that Nick had good taste. That 1933 Auburn Twelve custom phaeton sedan he liked so much turned out to be the top sale of the auction, selling for $275,000. A 1947 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith drophead coupe was next at $264,000 and then came that '70 Judge at $214,500.
Next up for Worldwide: The Burt Collection
Next up for Worldwide will be the sale September 21 in Lake Forest, Illinois, of 125 vehicles from The Burt Collection.
According to the Lake Forester newspaper, Paul Burt was a stand-up comedian and published poet in New York who became chief executive of the Westlake Financial Group and on day returned a runaway puppy to his neighbor, well-known Chicago area auto dealer and enthusiast Rick Mancuso.
Mancuso got his puppy back, and sold Burt a 1983 Ferrari 512 BBI Boxer. Before long, Burt's collection included more than 150 vehicles and a complete restoration business.
Auburn Auction Park packed with 70,000 in attendance
Earlier, I mentioned the big crowd at Auction America's fall sale. We were part of the crowd on Friday afternoon. Turns out some 70,000 people showed up during the weekend, a 40-percent increase in attendance compared to the same event in 2012. Of those 1,100 or so vehicles crossing the twin auction blocks, 80 percent sold for some $28 million.
The auction featured the sale of a trio of Duesenbergs. A 1930 Model J convertible coupe sold for $1.54 million, a 1929 Model J sports sedan went for $962,500 ,and a 1935 Model SJ dual-cowl phaeton brought $858,000, putting the Dusies 1-2-3 on the top-dollar sales list.
Rounding out the top five were a 1973 Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona for $434,500 and a 1933 Auburn Twelve boattail speedster for $371,250.
The auction featured the sale of 94 vehicles from the collection of Indiana native Ed Ewing, several vehicles from the collection of Richard and Linda Kughn of Michigan, five vehicles from the Antique Automobile Club of American Museum (proceeds from those cars helping to fund the museum's Tucker exhibit), and more than 400 items of memorabilia and antiques from the collection of Kirk F. White.
There's big interest in low-mileage Nebraska auction
You may not think of Nebraska as being a hot bed for classic car collectors, but they'll be gathering in Pierce, Nebraska (as well as on the Internet), on September 28-30 for VanDerBrink Auctions' sale of the delicious leftovers from the Lambrecht Chevrolet dealership.
Ray and Mildred Lambrecht (both are now in their 90s) were Chevy dealers for more than half a century and for whatever reason saved out some brand new cars and a few hundred low-mileage trade ins. Those cars -- some 500 of them, including around 50 never before have been sold -- are being auctioned.
Mark your calendars
September 5-8 -- Kirkland (Washington) concours d'elegance
September 8 -- Bonhams/Beaulieu auction, England
September 8-9 -- RM auction, London, England
September 21 -- Worldwide Auctioneers/Burt Collection, Lake Forest, Illinois
September 21-22 -- Danville (California) concours d'elegance
September 26-28 -- Barrett-Jackson auction, Las Vegas
September 26-28 -- Russo and Steele auction, Las Vegas
September 28-30 -- VanDerBrink/Lambrecht auction, Pierce, Nebraska
Then, two weeks after those events, Barrett-Jackson and Russo and Steele stage auctions along The Strip at Las Vegas.

AES Technical Committee
Audio Forensics
Chair: Jeff M. Smith (Send Email) Vice Chair: Daniel Rappaport (Send Email) Vice Chair: Eddy Bogh Brixen (Send Email) Forum: Committee Discussion Forum
Current Areas Of Work
- To extend knowledge of audio forensic practice and techniques world-wide
- To identify areas requiring additional research
- To bring together professionals and students in the area of audio forensics
- To encourage publication of papers, and to arrange tutorials, conferences and workshops, within the AES
- To support standards committees on forensic audio via fostering of refereed journal publications
Recent/Planned Activities
Another successful conference of the AES on Audio Forensics was held June 12-14 in London. See the website for specific program and sponsor details: aes.org/conferences/54. Proceedings from this conference, as well as the previous audio forensics conferences (26, 33, 39, 46) are available here: http://www.aes.org/publications/conferences/
At the AES 137th Convention in Los Angeles, a Tutorial on "Audio Forensics: An Overview". ABSTRACT: This tutorial featured several presenters engaged in various areas of audio forensics in lively discussion geared toward experts learning from one another and to benefit the introductory attendee. Tutorial Chair, Jeff M. Smith (National Center for Media Forensics, CU Denver) and chair of the Technical Committee on Audio Forensics, presented on Speaker Analysis and the application of Bayesian likelihood. Catalin Grigoras (NCMF, CU Denver) presented on the best practices and future challenges in forensic audio authentication. Gordon Reid (CEDAR Audio Ltd.) presented on noise reduction and speech enhancement techniques. Eddy Brixen (EBB consult) presented on auditory crime scene analysis. Finally, Durand Begault (Audio Forensic Center) wrapped up some loose ends with a discussion of forensic audio miscellany including musicological forensics, warning signal audibility, acoustics, and more.
Mission Statement
Audio Forensics refers to engineering and scientific analysis, evaluation and presentation of audio and acoustic evidence in a judicial inquiry normally leading towards a presentation in court. The complex challenges faced by the field transcend borders and jurisdictions, and becomes increasingly complex with the proliferation of new types of digital media. In order to establish a reliable scientific basis for the procedures and analysis of the outcomes of audio forensic analysis, the technical committee meets at AES conventions to plan conferences, workshops and tutorials; to encourage dissemination of scientific information through peer-reviewed journal and conference publications and posters; and to communicate educational opportunities in the field. Presently, the technical committee meetings for audio forensics are open to all attendees.
Emerging Trends in Audio Forensics
Last updated: 10/31/2011
Enhancement -
The enhancement of forensic audio recordings remains the most common task for forensic audio practitioners. The goal of forensic audio enhancement is to increase intelligibility of voice information or improve the signal to noise ratio of a target signal by reducing the effects or interferences that mask it. Many tools are available through various software developers with the most common being noise reduction- either adaptive or linear. Difficulties in this area are caused by lossy data compression common to small digital recorders, data compression and bandwidth limited signals in telecommunications, and non-ideal recording environments common to surveillance and security. One growing area of research is the assessment of speech intelligibility with multiple papers presented on the topic at the AES 39th Conference on Audio Forensics in 2010.
Authentication -
The majority of audio media presented to the forensic examiner are digital recordings on optical disc, HDD, flash memory, and solid-state recorders. However, the analysis of analog tape cassettes and microcassettes is still required of examiners. In the area of forensic media authentication, digitally recorded audio files may be subject to various kinds of manipulation that are harder to detect than those in the analog domain. This leaves the forensic audio examiner with new challenges regarding the authentication of these recordings. Many new techniques have been developed in recent years for use in these analyses. These techniques continue to be published and presented through the AES Journal and proceedings of AES Conferences and Conventions. Among these techniques is the analysis of the Electric Network Frequency component (ENF) of a recording. If present, the remains of the ENF may be compared to a database of ENF from the same grid to authenticate the date and time the recording was made. In addition to automatic database comparison, it is possible to learn several other things from ENF analysis including whether portions of the recording were removed, if an audio recording was digitized multiple times, how the recorder was powered, and more.
Recent developments in digital audio authentication also include the Compression Level Analysis of an audio recording to determine if an uncompressed file had been previously subject to data compression or if the compression level present is consistent with an authentic recording. Also, a technique for determining the presence of butt-splice edits has been presented. In the digital domain, as in the analog, auditory and spectral acoustic analysis continues to be necessary. However, it is also clear that analysis of the digital data that makes up a recorded audio file including its header and file structure must be exploited to ascertain a digital recording's authenticity.
Speech and Speaker Analysis -
The analysis of speech and speakers present on audio recordings is a large domain that intersects many industries including forensics and security. The analysis of speakers present in recordings to ascertain identity continues to be a common request of forensic audio examiners. However, "identifying" persons in a 1:1 comparison is not supported within the scientific community that favors "recognition" of persons based on extracted features relative to a background model representing a population of speakers. Automatic systems based on cepstral coefficients, Gaussian Mixture Modeling, and likelihood ratios employ robust and validated techniques for speaker recognition. This quantitative approach better measures and takes into account intra- and inter-speaker variation. When used in a forensic environment where trained examiners base conclusions on likelihood ratios, this technique is valued greatly over other qualitative analyses.
The capability of a system to process multitudes of audio signals and sort them based on language, topic, speakers present, and acoustic environment continues to progress with many new advances. An interesting area of research and its application in audio forensics is Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA). This field of audio processing is interested in developing machine systems that perform automatic signal separation using principles derived from the human auditory system's perceptual abilities to understand audio scenes. CASA systems have already proven very useful as pre-processors for automatic speech recognition systems and in hearing aids. New areas of study include their use in audio forensics. Also, automatic speaker segmentation based on extracted spectral features and statistical modeling can help automated systems tasked with speech and speaker recognition.
Other Considerations -
Since the fundamental aspect of forensic audio is its application to law with the litigation process benefitting from audio enhancement and analysis, it is important for the practitioner working with forensic audio to be aware of this process and the need for proper evidence handling and laboratory procedures. As digital audio proliferates so to have the identification of proper practices for imaging media, hashing file duplicates, and recovering and/or repairing corrupt or carved files.
Additionally, it is not only common for forensic audio to be played in a courtroom but for typed transcripts of recorded conversations to be prepared for the individuals involved in a case; the lawyers, judge(s), and/or jury. Specific to these needs, there are developments in addressing the inherent bias present in the human preparation of these transcripts. Also, the forensic audio practitioner must be aware of the audio samples being presented taking into consideration courtroom acoustics, psychoacoustics, and the hearing abilities of these individuals.
AES Activities -
Numerous papers on audio forensics appear in the Journal of AES and are presented at AES Conventions each year. Additionally, there have been three AES Conferences on audio forensics since 2005(AES 26th, 33rd, and 39th) and the next will be in Denver, CO in 2012. Additionally, regular workshops and tutorials appear at AES Conventions. At the AES 130th Convention in London there was a tutorial on forensic audio enhancement. At the AES 131st Convention in New York there was a workshop on forensic audio authentication.

Tonight was the night of the Annapolis Heritage Society Annual General Meeting so this post will tend toward pictures more than words. As I usually do at the end of an AGM, I am feeling both tired and a bit brain dead. Lack of mental acuity aside, I would like to take the opportunity to welcome our four new board members and thank our three retiring members. I should also take the opportunity to thank Janice Slaunewhite and Wayne Smith from North Hills Museum for their roles in tonight's meeting.
Thankfully, I have a few pictures which have been waiting for a chance to be downloaded from my camera. The two sets of images in tonight's post were taken earlier this week on the Annapolis Royal waterfront about 16 hours apart. With the O'Dell House Museum located on the waterfront I have been able to see many different versions of this view. It is quite rare to see a perfect mirror image of Granville Ferry like I did the other day. Usually there is some ripple or wave to interrupt the scene. Likewise, while I have seen and photographed a great number of sunsets from this location, I still find it amazing to see a sunset with colours shooting across the sky.
All for now,

College Hockey:ECAC Hockey Picks: Oct. 18-19
Last week: 6-3-1
Overall: 7-7-1
I had decent luck last week, which pulled my overall record up to .500. Let's see how long I stay there. All games are 7 p.m. unless noted.
Friday, Oct. 18
RIT at Clarkson
RIT has scored a respectable five goals in their first two games, but has allowed a whopping 11 to their opponents. Clarkson is off to a 3-1 start, the program's best in six years, and has gotten solid goaltending from freshman Steve Perry and sophomore Greg Lewis. The Golden Knights have an eight-game unbeaten streak (7-0-1) against the Tigers, and it's the home opener at Cheel Arena. Clarkson wins
Lake Superior at Union
Injuries hit the Dutchmen hard last weekend. Starting goaltender Colin Stevens was hurt in the season opener, and didn't play the subsequent night, while forwards Eli Lichtenwald, Max Novak and David Roy are also hurt. It will be an early test of Union's depth. Fortunately for the Dutchmen, it comes at home, where they've been outstanding the last few years. Union wins
Colgate at Bowling Green, 7:07 p.m.
Bowling Green is 8-1-1 all-time against Colgate, but the Raiders picked up their first win of the series last season. The Falcons are fourth in the nation in penalty minutes, and I think Colgate's power play, which is 4-for-14 on the year, will capitalize on that. Colgate wins
St. Lawrence at Ferris State, 7:07 p.m.
Saint Lawrence dominated Maine a sweep in Canton last weekend, while the Bulldogs piled up seven goals on Colgate before getting shutout the next game. If Saints forward Greg Carey can repeat his five-point weekend, look out, but give the slight edge to the home team. Ferris State wins
Quinnipiac at Massachusetts-Lowell, 7:15
The Bobcats and RiverHawks made up half of last year's Frozen Four. UMass-Lowell brought a lot back, but opened some eyes with an opening-night loss to Sacred Heart. I think Quinnipiac should be competitive this year, but the Riverhawks are at home and still have a lot talent despite the season-opening loss. Massachusetts-Lowell wins
Rensselaer at Boston University, 7:30 p.m.
RPI announced that goalie Jason Kasdorf isn't expected to play this weekend due to an injury. That leaves the goaltending duties to junior Scott Diebold, who has played well for stretches over the last few years. Still, taking down BU without Kasdorf is a lot to ask. Boston University wins
Saturday, Oct. 19
Massachusetts-Lowell at Quinnipiac
The Bobcats have never lost a home opener since moving to Division I, and they'll be raising a Frozen Four banner before the game as well. Quinnipiac wins
Sacred Heart at Rensselaer
These teams meet for the second time in as many weekends, this time in Troy. The Pioneers have already matched their win total from a season ago and have gotten solid play from former Union commit Alex Vazzano in goal. Even minus Kasdorf, I think RPI has enough depth up front and on defense to get the win. Rensselaer wins
Lake Superior at Union
Part of Union's shaky midseason stretch last season included a sweep by the Lakers. The Dutchmen should return the favor this season. Union wins
Colgate at Bowling Green, 7:07 p.m.
If senior goalie Eric Mihalik and the Colgatedefense can keep playing the way they have of late, the Raiders should complete the the sweep. Colgate wins
St. Lawrence at Ferris State, 7:07 p.m.
The Saints should bounce back with a win in Game 2 and head home with a split. St. Lawrence wins
RIT at Clarkson, 7:30 p.m.
I think the Golden Knights complete the sweep to push their record to 5-1 on the year. Not bad for a team that won nine games all of last season. Clarkson wins

Earthquake TipsJim Gindlesperger
As we recently learned, earthquakes can strike suddenly and without warning. Because they are so rare in our area, the August earthquake caused many of us a great deal of confusion. Should we evacuate the building or should we stay inside? If we stay inside, should we go to the basement or duck under our desks?
The following tips may be helpful should you find yourself in an earthquake again.
- Remember: Drop, Cover, and Hold. Drop to the floor at the first indication of an earthquake, take cover under something sturdy, and hold on until the shaking stops. The elderly, or those with impaired mobility, should remain where they are and brace themselves against the vibration. Remain indoors until the shaking stops. Leaving the building while the quake is in progress could expose you to falling debris. Once outside, move quickly away from buildings, trees, or power lines, to avoid being struck by falling material.
- If you are in a vehicle, stop in a clear location and remain in your car with the seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops.
- Expect aftershocks. If they occur, react the same way you would for the original earthquake.
- Be alert for fires or leaking gas.
- Clean up spilled medications, flammable liquids, or other dangerous materials before they cause secondary problems.
- Do not re-enter damaged buildings until you are sure they have been declared safe.
- Establish a family plan and be sure everyone knows and understands it. BEFORE an earthquake occurs, select "safe places" in your home and at work. This could be under a desk or table, or against a sturdy interior wall away from windows.

The History
The Historic Treaties of the Boundary Commission
In brief, the treaties and conventions, under which the various sections of the international boundary were defined and agreed upon, are as follows:
(a) The Definitive Treaty of Peace, 1783, defined the boundary between the newly-formed United States of America and the British colonies in North America from the "mouth of the St. Croix River in the Bay of Fundy" to the northwesternmost point of Lake of the Woods and thence due west to the Mississippi River and down that river.
(b) Jay's Treaty of 1794 provided for two Commissioners to decide what river was the St. Croix and also provided that if the line west from the north-westernmost point ofLake of the Woods did not intersect the Mississippi River, that the two parties should proceed by amicable negotiations to fix the boundary in that quarter.
(c) The Treaty of Ghent in 1814 provided that Commissioners should decide the sovereignty of the several islands in Passamoquoddy Bay, that they should determine the "northwest angle of Nova Scotia" and the northwest head of Connecticut River, and that a map should be made of the boundary. "The North Line" section of the boundary, extending from the source of the St. Croix River to the "northwest angle of Nova Scotia" was surveyed and marked under Article V of this treaty. Articles VI and VII provided that the Commissioners should decide the boundary from the 45th parallel to the northwesternmost point of Lake of the Woods. Under this treaty, agreement was reached upon part of the boundary, but parts of the line through St. Mary's River and at the head of Lake Superior were not agreed upon.
(d) Article II of the Convention of 1818 stipulated that the boundary run from the northwesternmost point of Lake of the Woods north or south to the 49th parallel and along it to the Stony Mountains (Rockies). The boundary west of that was still undecided.
(e) Since the Commissioners appointed under the Treaty of Ghent failed to agree on the course of the boundary adjoining northeastern United States, and since the award of the King of the Netherlands acting under Articles IV, V, of that treaty, had been rejected by the United States, it was not until the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 that agreement was reached on the boundary from the source of the St. Croix River to the St. Lawrence River. In this treaty agreement was also reached on those sections of the boundary through the St. Mary's River to the northwesternmost point of Lake of the Woods which had not been settled following the Treaty of Ghent.
(f) The Oregon Treaty of 1846 extended the boundary from the summit of the Rockies westward a along the 49th parallel to the Strait of Georgia and south and west through Juan de Fuca Strait to the Pacific. Disagreement as to part of the water boundary through the straits led to arbitration and an award by the Emperor of Germany which was formally accepted in the protocol of 1873.
(g) By a convention in 1892 the boundary line was laid down through the islands in Passamoquoddy Bay and provision was made for a joint survey of the Alaskan boundary from Portland Canal to the 141st meridian.
(h) With the Klondike gold rush in '98 the Alaskan boundary question came to the fore, and by mutual agreement, in 1899 a provisional boundary was laid down above the head of Lynn Canal and across the Chilkoot and White Passes.
(i) In 1903 a convention between the two countries resulted in the setting up of the Alaska Boundary Tribunal to resolve the Southeast Alaska boundary question. Following the Award on October 20, 1903, the survey and marking of the boundary was begun by Dr. W. F. King, Dominion Astronomer and Mr. 0. H. Tittman, Superintendent, United States Coast and Geodetic Survey who were appointed as Commissioners under the same convention.
(j) In 1905 a short section of the Southeast Alaska boundary, undefined by the Award, and subsequently agreed upon by the Commissioners, was formally accepted by both countries in an exchange of notes.
(k) In 1906, by a convention, two Commissioners (King and Tittman) were appointed to carry out the survey and marking of the 141st meridian Yukon-Alaska boundary. The field work was finished in 1913.
(l) In 1908 a treaty was signed which provided for the more complete demarcation of the boundary from Atlantic to Pacific and the preparation of accurate modern charts throughout. Although the land sections of the boundary had been marked by monuments, mounds or rock cairns, the water boundary had hitherto been marked on the charts prepared by former Commissioners only as a curved line through the various rivers and lakes on its course, and has not been shown at all on the chart of the St. Croix River. In the treaty of 1908 provision was made to suitably mark the water boundary by bouys, monuments, and ranges and in such other ways as the Commissioners judged desirable. The terms of the treaty were to be carried out on each of the various sections of the boundary under the direction of two Commissioners, one to be appointed by each country. For the St. Lawrence River and Great Lakes section, however, the work was undertaken by the International Waterways Commission, (now defunct) which had a membership of three Commissioners from each country.
(m) By a treaty in 1910, the boundary was defined through Passamaquoddy Bay to a point in the middle of Grand Manan Channel.
(n) In 1925, a further treaty made minor adjustments in the boundary line at Grand Manan Channel, at the northwesternmost point of Lake of the Woods, and on the 49th parallel, where the boundary was changed from a slightly curved line between monuments to a series of straight lines.In this treaty, provision was made for the continued maintenance of the international boundary by the Commissioners appointed under the treaty of 1908 and by their successors.

Seagate 200GB External Drive Review
Most people wouldn't consider external hard drives "must have" technology. But, one look at the Seagate 200GB External Hard Drive will defiantly change your mind. This stackable external hard drive offers more than just attractive styling, it is a complete, portable backup solution. Excellent for transferring files from one computer to another, automating the archiving of crucial data or off-site safe storage.
StarTech IDE Drive Drawer/Mobile Rack Review
With the price of IDE hard drives being dirt cheap now a days it is becoming more realistic to own supplementary drives for multiple operating systems, backups, redundancy, additional storage, etcetera. Personally, I've been swapping for years and chose to accommodate multi O/S functionality by separate drives for both Linux and Windows platforms.
Adaptec ATA Raid 2400A Review
I love SCSI Raid systems as much as the next person. However, sometimes you need something a little less costly. I needed to update my test network.
Seagate Barracuda 36ES SCSI Hard Drive Review
When Seagate brought the new Barracuda 36ES to the market they set their sights on target and scored a bulls eye. The Seagate Barracuda 36ES (ST336737LW) bare internal 36.9GB Ultra160 Wide SCSI hard drive is ideal for those wanting elevated SCSI performance, without the typical lofty pricing.
Maxtor Diamond PLUS 40 Review
I recently accuired a Maxtor DiamondMax PLUS-40 30 GB hard drive. These 7,200 RPM drives include Maxtor's unique DualWave twin processor technology for a 10x boost in host command processing speed. Coupled with 2 MB of high speed 100 MHz SDRAM for the cache buffer and an UltraDMA 66 interface, giving DualWave-equipped hard drives superior benchmark performance and maximum throughput.

The selling season...Everything goes up…
Rates. Prices. Money availability. Inventory. Realtors' stress levels.
Realtors live for the Spring, and so should sellers. If there is to be a seller's market this year, it will be in the Spring. Here are some newsworthy items for you to consider:
1. Nearly 40% of repeat home buyers are keeping their first home (or their last one). Why? Because smart people know that real estate is the ONE investment that you can get someone else to pay for. When you partner with a bank and then rent your property, the tenant pays for it. This is why some of the smartest investors in the world own investment real estate (think Warren Buffett--who also owns a very large real estate company). You can do the same thing, just by holding on to that first property you bought, and then buying a bit "less" the second time around. In fact, if you choose to do it, you can keep every property you buy, and never sell. In that way, it won't matter nearly so much what your 401K does. My mother bought two properties for herself and my Dad as investments, and they were in the family for 40 years. At the end of my Dad's life, they paid about half his total income in retirement, and gave him an outstanding life.
2. If you're going to sell this year anyway--it's a good year to sell! Here's why:
Prices are up. And they are relatively stable.
Money is much easier to get, and it's still cheap.
There are fewer homes in "play" than in prior years, and the "investors" (read "buy cash for less") are fewer. You will have an easier time selling for a top price.On the other hand:
The advantages of owning two properties are many: Houses pay off. When the second home you own is paid off (hopefully by faithful, paying tenants), you will have an excellent source of extra income. At the present rate for homes in the East County, you can expect to gross $20,000 per year or more, just by having one extra house that you rent out. In addition, prices go up. Even if they did not, having a 3rd party (your tenant) make your investment for you is extremely attractive--but the appreciation is icing on the very yummy cake.
Isn't it time to buy something for your future??

Without a doubt, Seattle is a hotbed of talent. In the world of arts, the Emerald City boasts of notable figures. These three African American actors are part of this bounty. You probably didn't know they were from Seattle although their efforts can be seen throughout the field of entertainment.
Blu Mankuma
Since the early eighties, Blue Mankuma has been a mainstay on TV. He's a prime example of how voice acting can be a hardworking thespian's bread and butter. His distinct vocals brought characters to life on children's shows such as 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' and 'League of Super Evil'. Blue Mankuma's resume also includes music, movies and more traditional television roles. Currently, he resides in Canada; a place he made home a few decades ago after leaving Seattle.
Seattle was only a brief stop for Brian Stokes Mitchell. After being born, his father's job in the navy took him to various parts of America. Perhaps this journey along with his baritone voice is what earned him a spot as one of Broadway's most sought after leading men. Brian Stokes Mitchell's role in the musical 'Kiss Me, Kate' earned him a Tony. Since, he's continued to be part of stage productions. In addition, throughout his career as an actor, he's had roles on TV.
Anthony Pierre Christopher
R&B as well as pop stars often realize their greatness by singing in the church choir. This reality also applies to Anthony Pierre Christopher. After a vocal performance at church, a listener spoke to his family and recommended he be a placed in The Northwest School of Arts. There, he developed his raw skills leading to parts in commercials, music videos and TV. These days, Anthony Pierre Christopher is building up his credits via bit parts in popular series such as 'The Mentalist'.
Surprised? These three African American actors are probably high profiled people you didn't know hailed from Seattle. Yet, they all play a significant part in keeping you glued to the big and small screen.

- Reviewer: Staff
This fantasy novel about cold war psychic spies and their controllers is written in the tradition of the great Russian novels: it's very long, it's got an enormously unwieldy cast, and a casual reader will often have no idea what's going on. The "bastards" in question are children who can "dream-walk" and control the minds of others. They end up in the hands of an exploitive American ex-spy and are rescued by a Chinese dream-walker and a Russian bodyguard before getting mixed up in another dream-walker's attempt to take over the world. While clever chapter titles give useful hints, it's hard to keep everyone straight, given that at any point, a character may or may not be inhabited and controlled by another character or group of characters, and it isn't necessarily clear whether any of their surroundings are real. There are many brilliant moments in this genuinely inventive book, but they're too often separated by fanciful digressions and heavy-handed evocations of classic literature.

Our Government is overrun with those "gutless wonders"who have lost their job description and living off the fat of the land (taxpayer's money.) They're playing footsy with Obama's Cabinet and Czars who are nothing more than the scum of the underground.
We're immersed daily with the "gotchas" or "he said she said" political rhetoric and lately it's beginning to look a lot like the Liberal News Media is pretty much running the whole shebang.
Starting back in 2009, when Obama started doling out our stimulus money, the DEMS and Republicans were definitely on the AWOL list. Not one of them had time to monitor the recipients of our money or act like responsible stewards of 787 billion dollars.
Their lack of engagement has created a National Deficit of 15 trillion dollars that few of us can even fathom. To pacify us the Republicans and Democrats pretend to be working doling out tidbits of information, which is always after the fact.
They told us that two of our border agents and 100's of Mexicans were murdered with our weapons that walked across the Mexican border into the hands of the drug cartel. They try to sell us a bill of goods that no one knows about the gun operation and no one is actually responsible for these murders.
FYI - the man responsible is still holding the coveted office of Attorney General of the USA – Obama funded the operation and Holder orchestrated the operation along with Janet Napolitano. The Democrats and Republicans shrug their shoulders saying, "too bad."
Then we heard about Obama and his "Green Scam" and the millions of dollars that have gone missing to pay off some of Obama's buds and that American's jobs were sent to Finland and China. The "gutless wonders" can't even keep jobs here on our turf.
Along comes the debt ceiling increase and we had to endure the stupid political bickering back and forth. We were given a promise that the awesome competent "Dream Team" (Democrats and Republicans) would make sure that it would be paid without increasing our debt burden.
That didn't happen – the "Dream Team" was nothing more than a three ring circus with a bunch of "gutless wonders" sitting in a huddle playing Texas Hold'em…
We've had a day by day play of Obama redistributing our money, giving illegal aliens a free ride, playing savior to the Gays and Lesbians, placing us in war with Libya without Congressional consent and watching as he aligned himself with the Muslim Brotherhood helping them take over many Middle East Countries.
On the 15th and 16th of March, behind closed doors Obama signed two Executive Orders that will be used against us if Obama keeps struggling in his 2012 Presidential Campaign. Republicans and Democrats (the gutless wonders) are sweeping this information under the rug hoping we didn't notice.
Our Government is no longer our Government – it has been taken over by Obama's Marxists, Communists and extreme Radical buds while the "gutless wonders" sit in their cushy offices enjoying the good life, courtesy of all tax paying Americans.

The Republican politicians are much the same as the Democrats They cooperate with the Dems. They have become a cabal.
We agree that its time to replace the people in the House and Senate, but we haven't had much discussion of who we want to be their replacements. We don't want more of the same.
We are in the midst of a coup and must make every effort to defeat those Useless Idiots in Washington. Let's prepare for the battle.
Gutless wonders are what is in the Michigan Senate. Republicans in the Michigan Senate are supporting the SEIU so this Union can continue to "skim union dues" from homecare providers for children" when they don't want the Union to represent them. Do these republicans a "vested interest" in this bill? It would be very easy to assume so and here is why:
Senate Bill 1018 which allows the S.E.I.U. to skim union dues from Michigan citizens who are simple, daycare providers for children. This bill should be a big NO but there are republicans who seem to have "other interests" to support and vote yes for Union skimming. Are they getting kickbacks to support and vote yes on this bill - Senate Bill 1018?
Please write your State Senators in Michigan and tell them.................no way!
What is next Athens Tennessee style take over????
Get Out Of Office You Crap Heads!
The problem is Marxist on one side and statist on the other. Alleged conservative Chris Christie who shouts down union workers is not who everyone thinks. He is about to issue an Executive Order in New Jersey titled "Development and Redevelopment Plan" that is Agenda21.
Christie will create an unelected, unaccountable board. Sounds like IPAB and the Dodd Frank unconstitutional boards, doesn't it? And he is supposed to be on our side.
Page 38 of the 41 page draft available online, clearly states that this plan coordinates with the federal plan, and that decdions may be made at levels above the state.
His government is also forcing a Foreclosure Act through that will confiscate homes and offer "afforedable housing" driving down neighorhood housing prices. If you miss a few payments, Christie's thugs will be at your door saying "nice little house you had there!" Now if belongs to Fannie, Freddie, HUD or GMAC, sort of like government motors.
Let them swing from the gallows. I will be honored to open the trap door and sleep well too. It's time to clean out the stinking garbage in Washington.
If you stupid liberals think that is to harsh, then you can join them on a chain gang cleaning sewer ponds.
USA Rogue
Unfortunately, with respect to the March 15th E.O., you are not wrong.
With respect to the March 16th E.O., Under "50 USC, 1621 - Declaration of National Emergency by President...":
"(a) With respect to Acts of Congress authorizing the exercise, during the period of a national emergency, of any special or extraordinary power, the President is authorized to declare such national emergency. Such proclamation shall immediately be transmitted to the Congress and published in the Federal Register."
Here is the march 15 E.O.
It seems Obama claims that only with regional collaboration and comprehensive planning with the US government will stabilize economic growth, create jobs, and lead to sustainable redevelopment of our American cities. I'm by no means a conspiracy believer but this smells a lot like Agenda 21. More Federal government intrusion into State Rights. I hope I'm wrong.
And this is the March 16 E.O.
From what I could decipher, I'm not an attorney, there are no specific guidelines in the EO to specify what constitues a national emergency. But in case of whatever is declared a national emergency, now these Secretaries of Energy, Agriculture, Transportation, etc, have complete authority from the Office of the President to acquire anything and everything the government deems it needs.
That includes, food, livestock, vehicles both farm equipment, vehicles, and the authority to control the flow of traffic or ban it all together.
The Secretary of Health and Human Resources has all authority over health resources..
The Secretary of Defense has all authority over all water resources..
There is also a section further down in this that states that anyone that's deemed an expert in whatever the government needs done can be allocated WITHOUT compensation..
and all of this authority going around and no really clear definition of what constitues a national emergency.
More to follow, I hope.
Andrew - that's just hard to believe!
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is truly one of the dumbest members of the GOP Senate Leadership---Trading action on Obama's lifetime Judicial nominees for a vote on a small business bill...How dumb can he be to cut such a deal with Senator Harry Reid? Does anyone understand the word 'LEVERAGE'!

Nobody can make you feel inferior
without your consent.
Something to think about....
Memory is a child walking along a seashore.
You never can tell what small pebble it will pick up
and store away among its treasured things."
Pierce Harris
Atlanta Journal
Knowing that I
was planning to keep my grandkids, Shaun, 8, and Kayla, 6, this
weekend, I was feeling a little regret that I don't have any
video games or computer games for them to play. We have
satellite TV with any possible cartoon channel they could
want―yet I wondered if I was not being a good grandmother by not
having all the latest technology for them.
So Saturday night Joe, "Pawpaw," built a fire in my woodburning stove and
we roasted wieners and had an outside picnic, even though it was after
dark and the temperature was in the low 50s. We had hotdogs with all the
trimmings, plus Joe put a can of chili on the fire and cooked it in the
can. He and Shaun enjoyed the chili.

Owen Ashworth, the mopey mastermind behind Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, comes to TT's on December 1st with his new band, Advance Base.
With a sound a bit softer and more organic but not so dissimilair to the lonesome electronica of his old band, Ashworth's new project has recorded only a few singles so far (including covers of the Carter Family and John Prine) that are linked on the Advance Base website.
On the first night of December, there's a good chance that Advance Base will break out unhappy holiday tunes such as Christmas in Oakland or Prine's Christmas in Prison. So if you're in a blue Christmas mood and feeling, um... painfully alone, well, Advance Base is right there with you.
At TT's on Thursday att 11:00. with Cuffs at 10:00 and Vermont's Hello Shark opening up at 9:00. Tickets $9.

Santorini Shore Excursion: Private Tour of Thira Volcano and Hot Springs
- 3-hour Santorini shore excursion
- Take a boat trip to the active volcano of Thira
- Learn how the archipelago of Santorini is what remains after an ancient volcanic explosion
- Walk around the crater with your guide and soak up the gorgeous scenery
- Enjoy a relaxing bath in natural hot springs
- Covered by Viator's worry-free policy: guaranteed on-time return to your ship
What You Can Expect
Hear about its last eruption in 1950 and discover the little-known fact that the archipelago of Santorini is the remnant of a volcanic caldera, meaning it was formed after an enormous volcanic explosion destroyed the formerly single island's earliest settlements. As you walk, your guide will point out pieces of magma and fumes emitting from the crater.
Enjoy free time to take amazing panoramic photos before heading to some hot springs for a relaxing, reviving bath. These natural pools were created from volcanic activity and are said to have medicinal powers against skin and bone diseases.
At the end of you tour, you'll be taken back to the Santorini port.
Worry-Free Shore Excursion:
We will ensure your excursion ends with ample time for you to return to the Santorini port for your ship's departure. In the extremely unlikely event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. If your ship is delayed and you are unable to attend this activity, your money will be refunded. See our terms and conditions for full details.

Chart of the Day: Number of New Lows Almost Highest in Past Year
There were almost as many new 52-week lows made yesterday in the US as there were at the November 2012 bottom.
Each morning, I do a quick health checkup on the market, looking at various internal indicators. Market indices like the
(INDEXSP:.INX) (or even worse, the
Dow Jones Industrial Average
(INDEXDJX:.DJI)) that we're conditioned to look at are hardly an accurate guide to the total overall health of the stock market. Since it's a daily exercise that I've done for years, I'm rarely surprised by what I see.
But this morning, one chart quickly snapped me out of my morning haze. This is the chart of new 52-week lows on US exchanges, courtesy of Bloomberg:
There were almost as many new 52-week lows made yesterday in the US as there were at the November 2012 bottom, when the SPX index was around 1350. We're now 200 index points higher, and yesterday's sell-off came from all-time highs in the SPX and DJIA, but the number of stocks making new lows was near the highs of the past year! Normally, a jump in new lows like that would be concerning, but nothing to shout about. However, when it happens when the broader indices are only a few percent from all-time highs, it becomes shouting material.
The underlying movement among individual stocks does not speak to a healthy, long-term bull market advance. Rather, it is suggesting that the high levels of index prices are not an accurate assessment of current stock market strength. In my experience, basing decisions solely on internal indicators is not wise. But ignoring them altogether is more foolish still.

[Intro Excerpt]
On August 19, 2006, a few friends and I went to check out this new burger place called The Counter in Palo Alto. Their whole pitch is that you get to build your own burger: pick your meat, size, cheese, toppings, sauce, and bun type, and you're good to go. And a bunch of their options aren't too shabby either. For example, cheese options include gruyere, herb goat cheese spread, danish blue cheese, and tillamook cheddar. And toppings range from fried onion strings to hard boiled eggs to dried cranberries. Pretty much, there's something for everyone here.
Their website claims that there are over 312,120 different burger combinations. But as you'll soon see, as far as I'm now concerned, there's only one combination worth getting. Here's the story...

Campus biologists spot first signs of spring
Do You Remember the Color Green? blog by
Bill Hamilton and Deborah Sillman
Penn State New Kensington's biologist bloggers Bill Hamilton, assistant professor of biology, and Deborah Sillman, senior instructor in biology, have posted the first observations of spring to their blog site, "Ecologist's Notebook: Reflections on the Natural World of Western Pennsylvania."
"Signs of Spring 1: Do You Remember the Color Green," was written Feb. 25. While western Pennsylvania is still in the throes of a harsh winter, Hamilton sees some things happening that remind him that the seasons are changing.
"When I get up with our 6:30 a.m. alarm, the sun has begun to light up the early morning sky, and I now can see what I am doing," Hamilton said. "When I drive home from work at 5:30 p.m., I don't absolutely need to have my car headlights on. The days are stretching out at both ends. Warmth is sure to follow."
Last year, Hamilton observed early signs of spring in mid-January, with the arrival of robins and wood thrushes. This year, migrating birds have been a bit tardy in their arrival. Traditionally, the American robin arrives in the area around Feb. 14, according to Hamilton.
"Other than a couple of very confused looking robins perched up in surrounding maples, we have seen no arriving spring migrants yet," Hamilton said.
Hamilton and Sillman started blogging in 2008. The team oversee the maintenance of the campus Nature Trail that was constructed in 1985. Each year, they write about the birds, insects, mammals and flowers that herald the arrival of spring. They report on their observations around their Apollo house and on local nature trails, as well as the campus trail.
