The Influence of Some Parameters on the Quality of Spatial Impression with Transmission by Eidophony
There are especially two parameters of eidophonic transmission with great influence on quality of reproduction. The shape of the patterns of the two rotating microphones is found to be important for the impression of a sound source far away. The number of the speakers should be smaller than 2 x 6. This experience is confirmed by charts of constant phase. Such charts can be made easily with the aid of a computer. Each configuration of loudspeakers can be set up if one tries to get a good quality with less expenditure.

text: Hans Trudel (1881-1958) came to Baden as a mechanical draughtsman and established himself as a self-taught artist. He made his home in the lower part of the historical city centre, and today this house is used for contemporary art exhibitions. Many of Trudel's works are on display in public spaces – like his "Aviator in Bronze" (1927) on the station square. Trudel spent his entire life struggling for his art and for recognition. The nudity and the nature of this figure, a strange hybrid of a being, a human with fully grown wings, also caused people to protest. It wasn't until 1941 that Trudel received payment for this work.

Weight Loss & Obesity: 7 Myths & 9 Facts »
"Feb. 1, 2012 -- We know we don't have a "magic bullet" yet when it comes to weight loss, but at least we can count on some old standbys -- like eating a little less each day adds up over time, breastfeeding means lean children, and when all else "...
(Generic versions may still be available.)
Concomitant Cardiovascular Disease
Due to an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with cardiovascular disease, MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should not be used in patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, or stroke.
Blood Pressure and Pulse
MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES BLOOD PRESSURE AND/OR PULSE RATE IN SOME PATIENTS. REGULAR MONITORING OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND PULSE RATE IS REQ UIRED WHEN PRESCRIBING MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) .
In placebo-controlled obesity studies, sibutramine 5 to 20 mg once daily was associated with mean increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure of approximately 1 to 3 mm Hg relative to placebo, and with mean increases in pulse rate relative to placebo of approximately 4 to 5 beats per minute. Larger increases were seen in some patients, particularly when therapy with sibutramine was initiated at the higher doses (see table below). In premarketing placebo-controlled obesity studies, 0.4% of patients treated with sibutramine were discontinued f or hypertension (SBP ≥ 160 mm Hg or DBP ≥ 95 mm Hg), compared with 0.4% in the placebo group, and 0.4 % of patients treated with sibutramine were discontinued for tachycardia (pulse rate ≥ 100bpm), compared with 0.1% in the placebo group. Blood pressure and pulse should be measured prior to starting therapy with MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) and should be monitored at regular intervals thereafter. For patients who experience a sustained increase in blood pressure or pulse rate while receiving MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) , either dose reduction or discontinuation should be considered. MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should be given with caution to those patients with a history of hypertension (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION), and should not be given to patients with uncontrolled or poorly controlled hypertension.
Percent Outliers in Studies 1 and 2
|Dose (mg)
|% Outliers*
|* Outlier defined as increase from baseline of ≥ 15 mm Hg for three consecutive visits (SBP), ≥ 10 mm Hg for three consecutive visits (DBP), or pulse ≥ 10 bpm for three consecutive visits.
Potential Interaction With Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors
MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) is a norepinephrine, serotonin and dopamine reuptake inhibitor and should not be used concomitantly with MAOIs (see PRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS subsection). There should be at least a 2-week interval after stopping MAOIs before commencing treatment with MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) . Similarly, there should be at least a 2-week interval after stopping MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) before starting treatment with MAOIs.
Serotonin Syndrome or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)-Like Reactions
The development of a potentially life-threatening serotonin syndrome, or Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)-like reactions, has been reported with SNRIs and SSRIs alone, including MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) treatment, but particularly with concomitant use of serotonergic drugs (including triptans), with drugs which impair metabolism of serotonin (including MAOIs), or with antipsychotics or other dopamine antagonists. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes (e.g., agitation, hallucinations, coma), autonomic instability (e.g., tachycardia, labile blood pressure, hyperthermia), neuromuscular aberrations (e.g., hyperreflexia, incoordination) and/or gastrointestinal symptoms [e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea] (seePRECAUTIONS: DRUG INTERACTIONS). Serotonin syndrome, in its most severe form, can resemble neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which includes hyperthermia, muscle rigidity, autonomic instability with possible rapid fluctuation of vital signs, and mental status changes. Patients should be monitored for the emergence of serotonin syndrome or NMS-like signs and symptoms.
Because MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) can cause mydriasis, it should be used with caution in patients with narrow angle glaucoma.
Organic causes of obesity (e.g., untreated hypothyroidism) should be excluded before prescribing MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) .
Pulmonary Hypertension
Certain centrally-acting weight loss agents that cause release of serotonin from nerve terminals have been associated with pulmonary hypertension (PPH), a rare but lethal disease. In premarketing clinical studies, no cases of PPH have been reported with sibutramine capsules. Because of the low incidence of this disease in the underlying population, however, it is not known whether or not MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) may cause this disease.
During premarketing testing, seizures were reported in < 0.1% of sibutramine treated patients. MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should be used cautiously in patients with a history of seizures. It should be discontinued in any patient who develops seizures.
There have been reports of bleeding in patients taking sibutramine. While a causal relationship is unclear, caution is advised in patients predisposed to bleeding events and those taking concomitant medications known to affect hemostasis or platelet function.
Weight loss can precipitate or exacerbate gallstone formation.
Renal Impairment
MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should be used with caution in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment. MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should not be used in patients with severe renal impairment, including those with end stage renal disease on dialysis (see Pharmacokinetics - Special Populations - Renal Insufficiency).
Hepatic Dysfunction
Patients with severe hepatic dysfunction have not been systematically studied; MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) should therefore not be used in such patients.
Interference With Cognitive and Motor Performance
Although sibutramine did not affect psychomotor or cognitive performance in healthy volunteers, any CNS active drug has the potential to impair judgment, thinking or motor skills.
Information For Patients
Physicians should instruct their patients to read the Medication Guide before starting therapy with MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) and to reread it each time the prescription is renewed.
Physicians should also discuss with their patients any part of the package insert that is relevant to them. In particular, the importance of keeping appointments for follow-up visits should be emphasized.
Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they develop a rash, hives, or other allergic reactions.
Patients should be advised to inform their physicians if they are taking, or plan to take, any prescription or over-the-counter drugs, especially weight-reducing agents, decongestants, antidepressants, cough suppressants, lithium, dihydroergotamine, sumatriptan (Imitrex®), or tryptophan, since there is a potential for interactions.
Patients should be reminded of the importance of having their blood pressure and pulse monitored at regular intervals.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Sibutramine was administered in the diet to mice (1.25, 5 or 20 mg/kg/day) and rats (1, 3, or 9 mg/kg/day) for two years generating combined maximum plasma AUC's of the two major active metabolites equivalent to 0.4 and 16 times, respectively, those following a daily human dose of 15 mg. There was no evidence of carcinogenicity in mice or in female rats. In male rats there was a higher incidence of benign tumors of the testicular interstitial cells; such tumors are commonly seen in rats and are hormonally mediated. The relevance of these tumors to humans is not known.
Sibutramine was not mutagenic in the Ames test, in vitro Chinese hamster V79 cell mutation assay, in vitro clastogenicity assay in human lymphocytes or micronucleus assay in mice. Its two major active metabolites were found to have equivocal bacterial mutagenic activity in the Ames test. However, both metabolites gave consistently negative results in the in vitro Chinese hamster V79 cell mutation assay, in vitro clastogenicity assay in human lymphocytes, in vitro DNA-repair assay in HeLa cells, micronucleus assay in mice and in vivo unscheduled DNA-synthesis assay in rat hepatocytes.
Impairment of Fertility
In rats, there were no effects on fertility at doses generating combined plasma AUC's of the two major active metabolites up to 32 times those following a human dose of 15 mg. At 13 times the human combined AUC, there was maternal toxicity, and the dams' nest-building behavior was impaired, leading to a higher incidence of perinatal mortality; there was no effect at approximately 4 times the human combined AUC.
Teratogenic Effects
Pregnancy Category C
Radiolabeled studies in animals indicated that tissue distribution was unaffected by pregnancy, with relatively low transfer to the fetus. In rats, there was no evidence of teratogenicity at doses of 1, 3, o r 10 mg/kg/day generating combined plasma AUC's of the two major active metabolites up to approximately 32 times those following the human dose of 15 mg. In rabbits dosed at 3, 15, or 75 mg/kg/day, plasma AUC's greater than approximately 5 times those following the human dose of 15 mg caused maternal toxicity. At markedly toxic doses, Dutch Belted rabbits had a slightly higher than control incidence of pups with a broad short snout, short rounded pinnae, short tail and, in so me, shorter thickened long bones in the limbs; at comparably high doses in New Zealand White rabbits, one study showed a slightly higher than control incidence of pups with cardiovascular anomalies while a second study showed a lower incidence than in the control group.
No adequate and well controlled studies with sibutramine have been conducted in pregnant women. The use of MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) during pregnancy is not recommended. Women of childbearing potential should employ adequate contraception while taking MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) . Patients should be advised to n otify their physician if they become pregnant or intend to become p regnant while taking MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) .
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether sibutramine or its metabolites are excreted in human milk. MERIDIA (sibutramine hydrochloride monohydrate) is not recommended for use in nursing mothers. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they are breast-feeding.
Pediatric Use
The efficacy of sibutramine in adolescents who are obese has not been adequately studied.
Sibutramine's mechanism of action inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine is similar to the mechanism of action of some antidepressants. Pooled analyses of short-term placebo-controlled trials of antidepressants in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MD D), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and other psychiatric disorders have revealed a greater risk of adverse events representing suicidal behavior or thinking during the first few months of treatment in those receiving antidepressants. The average risk of such events in patients receiving antidepressants was 4%, twice the placebo risk of 2%.
No placebo-controlled trials of sibutramine have been conducted in children or adolescents with MDD, OCD, or other psychiatric disorders. In a study of adole scents with obesity in which 368 patients were treated with sibutramine and 130 patients with placebo, one patient in the sibutr amine group and one patient in the placebo group attempted suicide. Suicidal ideation was reported by 2 sibutramine-treated patients and none of the placebo patients. It is unknown if sibutramine increases the risk of suicidal behavior or thinking in pediatric patients.
The data are inadequate to recommend the use of sibutramine for the treatment of obesity in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of sibutramine did not include sufficient numbers of patients over 65 years of age. Sibutramine is contraindicated in this group of patients (see CONTRAINDICATIONS). Pharmacokinetics in elderly patients are discussed in "CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY."This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

I am running a custom HTML form in one of the WordPress pages. I used the Allow HTML Snippets plugin to create a shortcode.
Using the shortcode, the HTML form shows up just fine. However, it also has a "submit" button that won't work. Every time I click it, I receive a "file-not-found" message.
The custome HTML form works fine outside of WordPress. I have copied the Form's PHP file that processes the input to 1) the plugin's file folder, 2) WP's main directory 3) about 10 other places I thought it might be looking.
The only other solution I can come up with include
- including the PHP file within the HTML file, so it can call itself.
I still receive the "file not found" message. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
The problem seems to be with WordPress as it will not work with any Template. Again, the html form and php files work fine outside of WordPress.
Thanks in advance.

"...undoubtedly the most influential think tank in modern British history." – Andrew Marr
The treatment of inflation in the budget is reprehensible:a. Not indexing the 'gains' for capital gains tax purposes. This is really just fraud. And justifying it on grounds of 'simplicity' is disingenuous.b. Freezing income tax thresholds in money terms (i.e. stealthily reducing them in real terms). Rooker, Wise, Lawson, who called for automatic indexation, should not be forgotten. c. Shifting from RPI to CPI for benefits, tax credits and public service pensions. By 2014/15 this apparently 'saves' £5.8 billion (according to Table 2.1). This is the kind of trick a banana republic might play … unworthy of a British government.
The shift to CPI for benefit increments is also noteworthy because this measure bears little relation to the living costs of those on JSA, Income Support etc. Around half their expenditure (ignoring housing costs – typically covered by Housing Benefit) is likely to be on utility bills which make up a relatively small part of the CPI. Perhaps a more representative index could have been introduced.

Thanks for a great plugin. It's the only one I have found that I find useable and configurable.
All of my products cost 0.00, and the shipping is either 0.00 for countries close by or 5.00 for far away countries. I'm currently setting up eShop and have the following settings enable:
- Allow Zero Cost Orders
- Shipping method 3
- Two zones (zone 1 = 0.00, zone 2 = 5.00)
- In products page shipping zone is set to A
The problem I'm having is when Allow Zero Cost Orders is enable, shipping costs always default to shipping zone F which is free. Is there a way to override this so that shipping costs are maintained and if the shipping is greater than zero, the checkout will proceed to default payment gateway (paypal), and when it is zero, it will work as normal by going to cash gateway? I've tried turning off Allow Zero Cost Orders but when both product and shipping costs are 0.00 I'm taken to my default gateway (paypal) with a zero cost order.
I'm using the latest 6.3.11 plugin. I've switched to the default 2013 theme as well and the problem is there as well.
Thanks for your help,

Help me find a quote like this?
I'm trying to find a quote that fits a romantic (but not overly saccharine) mood that basically says "I do this because of my love for you, I believe in it because you believe in it, I stand by your side against adversity because I know I am with you."
Half-remembered quote about poets
I read, somewhere, a quote about poets to the effect that even successful poets have day jobs, collect disability payments or come from money. I vaguely recall that this was said (or written) by a woman who was a successful [poet? writer? editor?] in her own right, and who would have had a reasonable sample size on which to base the statement. What quote am I thinking of? Who wrote or said it? My googles have been uncharacteristically ineffective in locating the quote or identifying the source.

Given a users table with primary key of
id, I have a foreign table called
friends which only has two fields (
userid1, userid2). This allows us to create any kind of relationship between different users (one to many, one to one, etc). A user can appear in either column and both columns are equal. IOW, a single entry per relationship.
How can I pull all of the friends that a given user
id has. Say Jonny, has 3 friends and his user
id is
16... should my sql query look like this?
FROM db.users
JOIN db.friends
ON db.users.id = db.friends.userid1
AND db.users.id = 16
Hopefully, this is clear. Also, if possible, can I exclude Jonny from the result set?
This query, as listed gies me the following:
id name uuid birthday userid1 userid2
16 jonny ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP 1967-04-27 01:00:00 1 2
16 jonny ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP 1967-04-27 01:00:00 1 3
This is pretty close, except I want his friends, not jonny
Thanks guys, so I got it to work thanks to you. Here is the final working query.
FROM db.users
WHERE db.users.id IN
SELECT db.friends.userid2 as id FROM db.friends WHERE db.friends.userid1 = 16

text: Close Most Controversial Endings in Sports 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images Packers-Seahawks Disgruntlement over the replacement referees was taken to the next level after Seattle wideout Golden Tate shoved a Green Bay defender out of the way on the final play and was awarded a touchdown for getting his hands on a ball that appeared to be intercepted the Packers. The stunned Packers, most of whom had left the field in horror, were called back onto the field so the Seahawks could kick a meaningless extra point to seal the 14-12 victory. 1|30 AFP/Getty Images USA - USSR Basketball at '72 Olympics The first ever loss for Team USA since basketball started Olympic play in 1936 came in highly controversial fashion. With the Americans trailing 49-48 against the USSR, Doug Collins stole a pass and was fouled, making both shots to give the U.S. a 50-49 lead with three seconds left. Then began a bizarre series of circumstances where the Soviets had not one, not two but three chances to score the winning basket -- which they did. To this day, the American team has yet to unanimously vote to accept their silver medals. 2|30 Matt Campbell/AFP/Getty Images Tuck Rule Though Tom Brady's a Bay Area native, the Tuck Rule game all but guaranteed he can't set foot in Oakland. With two minutes left to play in an AFC divisional playoff showdown, the Patriots were down 13-10 to the Raiders. Amid blizzard-like conditions, Brady dropped back and was sacked by Charles Woodson, who jarred the ball loose from Brady's grasp. The Raiders recovered, only to have the fumble overturned by an official replay citing Brady's forward motion. By the letter of the NFL law it may not have been a fumble, but for everyone outside of New England, it sure looked like one. 3|30 Robert F. Rodriguez/AP Pine Tar Game In the top of the ninth inning with two outs in a regular-season game between the Royals and Yankees, George Brett hit a two-run homer to put Kansas City ahead 5-4. But New York manager Billy Martin cited to the umpires a rule that read that any foreign substance on a bat could extend no further than 18 inches from the knob. The umpires measured the amount of pine tar on Brett's bat, then signaled Brett out, prompting a furious outburst from the future Hall of Famer. The Royals' protest of the result was upheld, and Kansas City went on to win the game after it was resumed from the point of Brett's home run. 4|30 V.J. Lovero/SI Holyfield-Tyson II (Bite Fight) In the much-anticipated rematch of their unforgettable 1996 heavyweight title fight, Tyson savagely bit Holyfield on the right ear to earn a two-point deduction from referee Mills Lane. When Tyson followed it up moments later by biting Holyfield's left ear, Lane had no choice but to disqualify the former champ. Tyson was fined $3 million and had his boxing license revoked by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. 5|30 Keith Simonsen/Getty Images Fifth Down Game The Buffs took full advantage when the officials lost track and gave Colorado an additional down against Big Eight rival Missouri, scoring a touchdown on the last play of the game to eke out a 33-31 victory. The result cast doubt on the Buffs' claim to the 1990 national championship, which they shared with Georgia Tech. 6|30 Daniel Shirey/US Presswire Braves-Pirates 19th-inning call In the bottom of the 19th with the Braves and Pirates tied at 3-3, Pittsburgh catcher Michael McKenry appeared to swipe the leg of a sliding Julio Lugo at home plate. But umpire Jerry Meals ruled McKenry missed the tag, giving Atlanta a 4-3 win and sparking a social media maelstrom. 7|30 Heinz Kluetmeier/SI Jamie Sale;/David Pelletier Olympic figure skating judging scandal The judging controversy that briefly dropped Canadian pairs skaters Jamie Sale and David Pelletier to a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympics -- they ultimately shared the gold -- led to a dramatic overhaul of the entire scoring system. 8|30 Jack Dempsey/AP; Rich Gabrielson/Icon SMI Ed Hochuli non-fumble Broncos-Chargers The NFL made a rare admission of error after veteran referee Ed Hochuli ruled an incomplete pass what appeared to be a fumble, giving the Broncos the lucky break they needed to score a touchdown and make the two-point conversion en route to a 39-38 victory. 9|30 DPPI/Icon SMI; AFP Photo Grab Thierry Henry - France/Ireland A blatant handball by Thierry Henry in extra time of a World Cup playoff between France and Ireland led to William Gallas' tying goal that eliminated the Irish from South Africa 2010. 10|30 John Gurzinski/AFP/Getty Images Mayweather-Ortiz ("Protect yourself at all times") When Ortiz tried to intentionally head-butt Mayweather late in the fourth round of their welterweight title fight, referee Joe Cortez immediately called time to deduct a point. After the fighters touched gloves several times and moved to the center of the ring, Ortiz looked toward Cortez for a signal to restart. That's when Mayweather stepped back and uncoiled a vicious left-right combination that ended the fight. Unsportsmanlike? Perhaps. Legal? Without a doubt. 11|30 Paul Sancya/AP Armando Galarraga Perfect Game Robbery In what SI's Tom Verducci called the most heartbreaking missed call in baseball history, Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga had just thrown the 21st perfect game in baseball history when Miguel Cabrera threw to him covering first base on a grounder by Jason Donald for the 27th out. Cabrera celebrated. Only one thing was missing. Joyce called Donald safe, badly missing a call he'd admit botching afterward. 12|30 Thomas Croke/WireImage.com Snowplow Game Foxborough Stadium snowplow operator Mark Henderson, a convicted burglar on work release from prison, literally cleared the way (or a path) for New England's 3-0 victory in a regular-season game on Dec. 12, 1982. Amid snowy conditions, Patriots coach Ron Meyer ordered Henderson to plow a spot on the field where kicker John Smith made a 33-yard game-winning field goal, prompting outcry from Dolphins coach Don Shula in the aftermath. 13|30 Bill Frakes/SI The Bush Push In college football lore, it's known as the Bush Push. Trailing by three against Notre Dame on the game's final offensive play, USC quarterback Matt Leinart was stopped at the goal line but got an illegal push from Reggie Bush to give the Trojans a 34-31 win and extend their winning streak to 28 games. 14|30 Michael Heiman/Getty Images Felix/Tarmoh 100m tiebreaker When Jeneba Tarmoh finished in a virtual tie with Allyson Felix for third place in the 100m finals at the Olympic Trials -- and the last place on the Olympic team -- the lack of definitive tie-breaking procedures was laid bare. USATF officials decided that a runoff between the two sprinters would take place in the event, but Tarmoh pulled out (after initially agreeing) and ceded the spot to Felix. 15|30 Sean Connelley, Julie Jacobson/AP Giants-49ers Wild-Card Game The 49ers rallied from a 24-point deficit to take a 39-38 lead on the Giants late in the fourth quarter. With time expiring, the Giants tried a field-goal but a low snap muffed the attempt. Holder Matt Allen scrambled and threw a pass downfield to offensive lineman Rich Seubert, who was interfered with and the pass fell incomplete. Later, the NFL admitted that the play should have resulted in offsetting penalties and New York should have been given another play. 16|30 Bill Frakes/SI Ohio State-Miami in 2003 Fiesta Bowl Nobody gave Jim Tressel's squad a chance against the star-studded Hurricanes, but the Craig Krenzel-led Buckeyes pulled off a shocker in double overtime. The game will always be remembered for a controversial, fourth-down pass interference call that kept Ohio State alive in the first overtime. 17|30 Gene Puskar/AP Brett Hull's skate in the crease In the annals of Buffalo's snakebitten sports history, the play dubbed "No Goal" is near the top: Stars forward Brett Hull, with his foot clearly in the crease, was credited with what may forever be the most controversial goal in Stanley Cup history. It came in triple-overtime in Game 6 of the 1999 finals, and ended the series. That year it was illegal to score a goal if an offensive player's skate entered the crease before the puck did. 18|30 Matt Campbell/AFP/Getty Images Testaverde's Helmet With 27 seconds left and the Seahawks leading 31-26 over the Jets, Vinny Testaverde burrowed through the line on fourth down from the 5-yard line. While Testaverde's helmet cross the plane of the goal line, the ball most efinitely did not -- not even close. Yet line judge Earnie Frantz, perhaps influence by the home crowd and the New York players raising their hands in approval, signaled the winning touchdown. The play was widely attributed with ushering instant replay into the NFL. 19|30 Peter Read Miller/SI Jerry Rice's clear fumble that wasn't called It was Jerry Rice whose clear-cut fumble against the Packers in a 1998 NFC wild-card playoff game -- a fumble that went uncalled -- set up Terrell Owens' breakthrough game-winning touchdown as time expired. 20|30 AP Ref Phil Luckett called coin toss wrong in OT Sometimes a coin-flip can result in a blown call. On the midfield coin flip before overtime in a Thanksgiving Day game between the Steelers and Lions, Pittsburgh running back Jerome Bettis called tails. Referee Phil Luckett told pool reporters after the game Bettis had called ''heads-tails'' and Luckett went with the first thing he heard. The Steelers kicked off and never saw the ball again. A Jason Hansen field goal gave the Lions a 19-16 win. 21|30 Bill Kostroun/AP Hue Hollins phantom foul in Knicks-Bulls playoff Just when it looked as if the Bulls would survive the Knicks in Game 5 if the 1994 NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, Pippen was called for a foul on Hubert Davis, who was in the act of shooting a 23-foot jumper. With New York down one, Davis sank both shots and the Knicks held on for the 87-86 win -- going on to win the series in seven games. 22|30 John Iacono/SI Roy Jones in Seoul There have been many controversial decisions in the Olympics through the years, but few worse than what Jones experienced. The 19-year-old American landed 86 punches to Park's 32 when they met in the gold-medal match and forced a standing eight count in the second round, but somehow lost the fight 3-2 when it went to a decision. Years later, Jones was awarded the Olympic Order, which is given to individuals for a particularly distinguished contribution, though it's rarely given to active athletes. 23|30 Rogers Photo Archive/Getty Images Trent Tucker With just .01 seconds left on the clock in a 1990 regular-season game against the Chicago Bulls, New York's Trent Tucker canned a desperation shot off an inbounds pass, giving the Knicks the win. The game was protested by the Bulls and led to an NBA rule change after the 1989-90 season, indicating that no regular shot can be taken from the court if the ball is put into play with less than three-tenths of a second remaining on the game clock. 24|30 Richard Mackson/SI Game 6 of 1985 World Series (Don Denkinger's missed call) First base umpire Don Denkinger's ruling in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series is known simply as "The Call." With the Cardinals leading the Royals 3-2 in the series, St. Louis took a 1-0 advantage into the bottom of the ninth inning. Cardinals reliever Todd Worrell induced a slow roller to first base from the Royals' Jorge Orta leading off in the ninth, and an underhand toss from first baseman Jack Clark to Worrell, who was covering the bag, looked like a sure out. Denkinger called Orta safe, though replays clearly showed he was out. The dubious single ignited a two-run Royals rally that won the game. Kansas City rolled to an 11-0 win the next night in Game 7 to win its first World Series title. 25|30 Neil Leifer/SI Leonard-Duran II (No Mas Fight) Five months after he outpointed Leonard for the welterweight title in Montreal, Duran was outboxed in spectacular fashion through seven-and-a-half rounds of the return bout. That's when Duran abruptly turned his back and refused to continue, handing Leonard a TKO victory in what came to be known as the no mas fight. Few gave much credence to Duran's claims of stomach cramps, instead focusing on the incomprehensible surrender of one of boxing's all-time hard men. "It was bizarre to witness so swift and devastating a collapse of a man's name," Sports Illustrated's William Nack wrote. "And what a name it was." 26|30 Simon Bruty, Chuck Solomon/SI Serena's foot fault In a bizarre finish to a closely contested U.S. Open women's semifinal in 2009, Serena Williams was called for a foot fault on a second serve while trailing Kim Clijsters, 4-6, 5-6, 15-30. The call gave Clijsters a match point. Williams disagreed, angrily confronting the lineswoman who made the call. After a discussion between Williams, the lineswoman, the chair umpire and the tournament referee, it was ruled that Williams' outburst earns her a code violation. The code violation was Williams' second of the match and results in a point penalty that handed Clijsters the game and, with it, the set and the match. 27|30 SI.com The Holy Roller/"Immaculate Deception" game With 10 seconds left in a 1978 matchup between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers, the Raiders trailed 20-14. Ken Stabler took the snap and fumbled the ball forward toward the San Diego goal line. A slew of other Raiders players also batted and kicked the ball forward until tight end Dave Casper fell on the ball in the end zone. All in all, the ball had advanced 24 yards without the aid of a forward pass or run, and the Raiders emerged with a 21-20 win. At the time, officials were not able to overturn the call, but the play lead to an overhaul of the league's rules regarding fumbles. 28|30 Harry Cabluck/AP The Immaculate Reception One of the greatest and most debated plays in NFL history, the Immaculate Reception occurred during a 1972 AFC divisional playoffs game between the Oakland Raiders and the Pittsburgh Steelers. Trailing 7-6, facing a fourth-and-10 with only 1:17 left to play, Terry Bradshaw launched a pass toward John Fuqua. The ball bounced -- off whom is still disputed -- and tumbled, end over end into the hands of Franco Harris. So many aspects of the play are controversial to this day, but what can't be argued is that the play launched Harris and the Steelers to greatness. 29|30 Transcendental Graphics/Getty Images Fred Merkle Starting for the New York Giants for the first time in his career, Fred Merkle (at 19, the youngest player in the National League in 1908) committed a colossal baserunning error that would follow him for the rest of his lengthy career. Standing on first in the bottom of the ninth of a 1-1 tie, Merkle assumed he didn't have to touch second base when the winning run was blooped in. As he trotted back to the dugout the ball was thrown to second and Merkle was called out, costing his team the victory. The play, nicknamed Merkle's Boner, cost the Giants a pennant. 30|30 Next up High School From 2007 until 2009, the California School for the Deaf in Fremont compiled all of five wins. Now, the Eagles seek their third consecutive playoff berth and have established themselves as a formidable high school football program in the competitive North Central II/Bay Football League. Using exceptionally fast and clear sign language, the California School for the Deaf has an elaborate scheme of signals that allow it to keep up with the speed of a traditionally vocal and loud game. Like the players, the entire coaching staff is also deaf, granting the Eagles subtle advantages against all of its hearing opponents. Here's a behind the scenes look at the Eagles.

U.S. Rep. McHenry draws primary opponent
Published: Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 3, 2008 at 5:09 p.m.
NEWTON An attorney and retired U.S. Air Force officer said he will challenge U.S. Representative Patrick McHenry in the May primary.
Fellow Republican Lance Sigmon said on his Web site Thursday that he wants to bring integrity, common sense and honesty to Congress. He spent 21 years in the Air Force, serving at times as Chief Appellate Counsel for the Air Force and later as a military judge.
Sigmon tells voters in a video address on his Web site that he and his wife grew up in the 10th Congressional District with strong conservative family values.
The announcement will provide McHenry with a GOP challenger in the May primary. Democrats Daniel Johnson and Steve Ivester have also declared themselves candidates for the seat.
McHenry first won election to Congress in 2004 after one term in the state House.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Police warn of suspicious couple knocking on doors
DANVILLE – Vermont State Police say they have received reports of a suspicious couple visiting residences in the Danville and Walden area, but the couple could be simply completing a survey.
State police say they received a complaint on Feb. 2 where a black man, approximately 6'3'' tall, 200 pounds, 30 to 50 years old and a white woman with dark brown hair arrived at a residence, asked questions and left in a silver colored vehicle with out-of-state plates.
A complaint on Feb. 3 described the same couple leaving pamphlets at New England Homecare Union, United Healthcare Workers East-Vermont. The pamphlet listed a website for Service Employees International Union.
State police say several out-of-state companies have been conducting surveys in Vermont and it is believed this couple is doing the same. However, police are still trying to identify the couple and verify their involvement.
State police are encouraging residents to ask for identification during visits from unfamiliar individuals.MORE IN This Just InPHILADELPHIA First lady Michelle Obama stepped into the presidential election Monday with a... Full Story

City Dumbest Idea Ever?
Local Shell station gives away free gasbut only at rush hour.
« It's Official | Regarding North Carolina and b... »
Umm, how is this prmotion stupid unless you have a personal agenda against automobile transportation.
Probably pretty good promotion for whatever they are trying to sell.
It's stupid because by giving it away at rush hour they will likely have a line going out of the station and in to clogged rush hour traffic making it more of a mess.
Chris: It's stupid because by giving it away at rush hour they will likely have a line going out of the station and in to clogged rush hour traffic making it more of a mess.
Yes, I imagine quite a few of these folks will get in fender benders. So, for the sake of saving $25, they'll end up spending $500 or $1,000.
Americans would buy gas from Osama bin Laden if they could save 50 cents.
Dink: Umm, how is this prmotion stupid unless you have a personal agenda against automobile transportation.
Hi Dink, is it okay if I have a "personal agenda" against any of the following?
Will: Americans would buy gas from Osama bin Laden if they could save 50 cents.
You urban density no cars weirdos have it all wrong. In order to reduce dependancy on oil and gas, it is neccesary to increase the price of oil to make alternative fuels economically viable on a national and global scale.
therefore, buy as much fucking gas as you can. And while you are at it, support wars in the middle east. anything that brings instability to the middle east will increase oil costs and further your goals.
Peace and considerate consumption will only prolong the problem
The Dummest Rhetorical Tactic Ever?
Erica, please watch this clip of The Daily Show on the utter lameness of cloaking your views in the form of a question:
Can we use the gas to pay for the tolls on the underwater tunnel?
Cressona's gonna be SO disappointed when vehicles that use alternative fuels are developed which don't contribute to greenhouse gases or Saudi Arabia's bank balance.
Hell, I'll even plug for flying cars to get around the traffic congestion thing, too (of course, in other posts, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Cressona take the position that congestion is just swell because it will force people out of their evil, evil cars and onto public transportation, but I'll take him at his word here and assume he really means it when he says that congestion is a bad thing. Hardy har har....)
KING5 news reported that the cops shut down the giveaway shortly after 5 p.m. because it was causing a horrific traffic backup.
Yep, pretty dumb idea.
So THIS is why there was such a traffic jam in LQA!!! We're standing around at the 1st/Mercer stop with cars backed up to all hell waiting for the buses and wondering what the hell all those cars were doing in the left lane.
What a stupid idea, and in such a cramped part of town too!
Mr. X: Cressona's gonna be SO disappointed when vehicles that use alternative fuels are developed which don't contribute to greenhouse gases or Saudi Arabia's bank balance.
Mr. X, it's quite impressive how you're able to branch out from your anti-density, pro-sprawl agenda and become a champion of alternative fuels.
I think alternative fuels are potentially a great thing. They have to be part of the solution as oil becomes more scarce and expensive, but you should try reading the serious literature about alternative fuels. They just are not scalable like oil, the supply of which took hundreds of millions of years to create. Even sugar, the best biofuel material there currently is, has its limits.
Here's Tom Friedman, a sugar ethanol fan, in The New York Times: Over the past five years, the Amazon has lost 7,700 square miles a year, most of it for cattle grazing, soybean farming and palm oil. A similar expansion for sugar ethanol could destroy the cerrado, the Brazilian savannah, another incredibly species-rich area, and the best place in Brazil to grow more sugar.
... I could see some [environmental] groups one day calling for an ethanol boycott â Ã la genetically modified foods â if they feel biofuels are raping the environment.
Just a wild guess... I bet we could tap all the unfarmed sugar-arable land in the world and still not meet 50% of the United States' insatiable demand for vehicle fuel.
Even plug-in electric vehicles -- another viable part of the solution -- have to get their energy from somewhere. How well does that scale?
But just for argument's sake, let's suppose that auto fuel really did grow on trees -- and that there was an unlimited supply of trees -- and that auto fuel didn't cause any pollution. A Seattle built on the Vancouver/Portland model would still be a far more livable city than a Seattle built on an LA/Phoenix model.
Also, I find the cops shutting it down rather funny since SPD officers were standing guard at the station's entrances during the AM hours (I saw it while walking to work and never connected the dots).
Y'know, this promotion was such a spectacular success, maybe we could see some variations on it:
How about a free Mariners ticket for everyone who drives to the game? Limit one per vehicle.
Or perhaps our major local employers could subsidize their employees with free gas.
For example, Microsoft could have its own on-campus gas stations where employees could just use their "Prime" card. Quite the perk that would be, and it might be enough to keep some folks from leaving for Google. Sure, if you think 520 and 405 are bad now, watch out. But the Microsoft employees' cars could also be outfitted with the latest gadgets to keep them entertained and distracted while start-and-stopping along.
I'm just having you on, really, but in your last paragraph, I don't accept your fundamental paradigm. Seattle and the Puget Sound region are already built on a hybrid of both models - and there's not a damn thing we can do about it.
You could put every new body Nickels hopes to pack into the City (never mind how we would foot the bill for the infrastructure), and you'll still have sprawl from Olympia to Bellingham. Many of the suburban cities are nearly as old as Seattle, and they aren't going to just disappear because you don't think people should live (or work) there.
Do you have any idea how many people who live within the city limits are actually commuting out to to work? When I was a kid, the commute was all Eastsiders coming to work in Seattle. No more - my understanding is that it's about dead even now. Do you think all of those Seattle residents - who have chosen to live in the City - should just move closer to their jobs in the burbs, too?
Feeding the development beast in Seattle really is driving people of modest means out of the City, and I happen to think that's a real cost of trickle-down - oops - smart growth economics, and one that really pisses me off when otherwise "progressive" people refuse to acknowledge it. Displacing longtime residents should make people uncomfortable - and I'm old school enough to think that gentrification ought to be a dirty word unless you're a redlining banker and/or a shitbag developer.
And, yes, I know it takes energy to make energy, but the internal combustion engine as we know it won't be with us forever - but I'll bet you a nickel that people will be driving cars (or some other form of individual/personal powered transportation) long after you and I are dead.
Mr. X, I'm starting to believe that you're not deliberately distorting and misleading, that your penchant for misinterpretation and twisted logic is just the way your brain is wired. Let's see here:
Mr. X: You could put every new body Nickels hopes to pack into the City (never mind how we would foot the bill for the infrastructure), and you'll still have sprawl from Olympia to Bellingham. Many of the suburban cities are nearly as old as Seattle, and they aren't going to just disappear because you don't think people should live (or work) there.
Who ever said all the growth had to go in Seattle? Bellevue, Tacoma, Everett, and Olympia have enormous potential to attract density. And anyway, even if we can't stop 100% of the sprawl in this region, is this an excuse to not bother at all to foster an alternative?
Mr. X:Do you have any idea how many people who live within the city limits are actually commuting out to to work? ⦠Do you think all of those Seattle residents - who have chosen to live in the City - should just move closer to their jobs in the burbs, too?
Not sure what this has to do with the price of eggs. But it sounds to me like a good argument for light rail in the long term and bus rapid transit in the short term.
Mr. X: And, yes, I know it takes energy to make energy, but the internal combustion engine as we know it won't be with us forever - but I'll bet you a nickel that people will be driving cars (or some other form of individual/personal powered transportation) long after you and I are dead.
That's quite an impressive leap of distortion to go from "alternative fuels are not the only answer" to "the automobile will be obsolete."
The funny thing is, Mr. X, your opposition to the tunnel and the surface route are a tacit admission of what everyone from Greg Nickels to Cary Moon has been saying all along: opening up the waterfront will make the downtown a more desirable place to live. And God forbid the law of supply-and-demand should kick in.
Once you start quoting Thomas Friedman you have lost all credibility.
...and God forbid the rest of the City that has the misfortune to live west
of SR99 should pick up the tab so the very wealthiest among us (who are evidently too lazy to walk to Myrtle Edwards Park) can have nicer views.
Seriously, though (since you apparently have no capacity to absorb irony), you really do have a knack for parsing the positions you have taken after someone questions them, and the attributing your own interpretations of the world in defining what someone else said. For just one example - you have no idea what my position on light rail is. I voted for it in 1996 before the route was fully defined (elevated through the Rainier Valley in the middle of the street was still on the table, fe), though I became skeptical of how it was being used to redevelop the city when it didn't cover the areas of need you cite - other cities on the I-5 corridor (and then there were the lies and cost overruns, but that was just icing on the cake).
I had similar problems with the evolution of the monorail, which soured for me when the most convenient routes that required the fewest acquisitions of new rights-of-way were forgone in favor of using a mass transit project to create opportunites for redevelopment (and, not coincidentally, help a lot of people well connected w/monorail leadership make a buck) and ostensibly create new demand rather than addressing the significant regional demand for transit that already exists. But I digress...
OTOH, though you encourage development in suburban cities in your previous post (which, by the way, is already policy under the GMA, and is also why what Greg said about his goals to attract maximum growth in the City seemed pretty kooky regionwide, given Seattle's huge existing backlog of deferred maintenance and other needs), I don't think you really get how that will drive the kind of sprawl you hate. The underying assumption whenever I've bickered with you (and those who buy into the new urbanist mantra), is that it's worth tearing down whatever you have to in Seattle to build bigger stuff so you prevent suburban sprawl - and that doing so will result in lower housing prices in Seattle.
Try this likely scenario. Lynnwood builds a mid/highrise central business district as is now being considered - and which theoretically smart growth folks would encourage in terms of a second-ring suburban city densifying at its core.
The problem is - jobs drive housing, and people who work at the new jobs (primarily office, presumably, in a market that doesn't even have much class B office space, let alone class A) will need places to live. Being suburban types (remember - we're talking about Lynnwood), where do you think they'll settle? In brand new apartments near Alderwood Mall? Perhaps some will, but many more will also want the new single family housing that's being built in Mukilteo, or Monroe, or even as far north as the Skagit Valley. There are some buses as you go north, but even the apartment dwellers in the suburban cities mostly have cars. HWY 2 and I-5 from Everett to Monroe will swell with new traffic, and since Snohomish County isn't King County when it comes to growth management (not that King County is any great shakes when a really big developer wants an exception to some land use restriction), exurban housing for suburban workers will be built further and further into Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom counties.
I'm not saying it's good, but it just IS, and nothing we do in Seattle will change a bit of it - but it will jack up the cost of living to the point that a lot of longtime residents will be unable to stay in Seattle.
My key problem with your position (and that of the Stranger ed staff) is that you apparently think Seattle can absorb way more new residents than our infrastrucure is equipped to handle, and that all growth in the City is intrinsically good and sustainable in and of itself. Under the GMA, this really isn't the case. Where I think growth (particularly in a built city, where building something new usually means that an existing structure - and set of residents - has to go) is a necessary evil that needs to be planned for and where necessary accomodated, you all seem to think it's a good in and of itself, and that it must be subsidized by government. More than that - it is really subsidized by current residents (particuarly in Seattle - which has been loathe to assess impact fees) when property tax breaks like the MultiFamily Tax Exemption shift the increased costs to government of new construction onto the rest of Seattle's property owners and their renters.
The irony of this - which I doubt you'll see for 20 years - is that these policies will drive a lot of longtime residents who might be able to afford to stay but value the liveability of Seattle further afield. I'd laugh if it weren't so ridiculous and sad.
Fun sparring with ya, tho...really.

Typically when the main characters are speaking about the seasonal characteristics in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire they are referring specifically to those on the continent of Westeros. Are these seasonal effects, such as winters lasting decades, the same on the other continents, Essos or Sothoryos?
According to this chat with GRMM, the rest of the world is affected less strongly by the seasons than Westeros:
As Michael wrote, you can see in this map of the world that Essos does not extend much further north than the Twins:
Yes, the seasons are planet-wide (at least, they also affect Essos, so I assume they'd affect other continents as well.)
However, Essos is affected much, much less than Westeros because almost all of the land mass in Essos is in the sub-tropical/equatorial region. THe northenmost point on Essos is at approximately the same latitude as The Twins, with the most populated areas being in line with Storm's End or Highgarden. Even in Westeros, the regions this far south aren't hit nearly as hard by winter, but has a much more stable climate.
At the end of ADWD, as the winter starts, grass in Essos turns yellow. I believe we'll see more in Winds of Winter.

Staff report
The Ohio Department of Public Safety has awarded a $294,139 homeland-security grant to the Columbiana County Emergency Management Agency.
The funds awarded will enhance the capacity of state and local jurisdictions to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from incidents, according to county EMA officials.
The state Homeland Security program supports the implementation of state homeland-security strategies to address the identified planning, organization, equipment, training and exercise needs to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to and recover from acts of terrorism and other catastrophic events.
The county will use the grant funds for a regional communications trailer, regional mobile generator and regional Haz-Mat team operations.
There will be a grant presentation and demonstration of the EMA communication trailer at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Columbiana County EMA, 215 S. Market St.
Nancy Dragani, executive director of the Ohio EMA, Luke Newbold, director of the county EMA, and county commissioners Mike Halleck, Jim Hoppel and Tim Weigle will be present.
The county EMA has used social media as a resource for preparedness. The organization can be found on twitter at www.twitter.com/COLCTY215 and on Facebook at the Columbiana County EMA page.
On www.nixle.com, participants can sign up for personal weather alerts, emergency watch, advisories and warnings and road closings. Other resources can be found at the organization's website, www.ccoema.org.
Well $294,000 ought to cover it, of course as soon as something catastrophic occurs, FEMA will step in with another agency and taxpayer money. As in places like Boardman, we are protected by FBI, State Highway patrol, Mahoning County Sheriffs, Boardman police and overlapping communities law enforcement, and still the leaders say that we need more. The state just invoked an increase in sales tax for more money, but give grants away like it is a desperate need, as in all forms of government,, they must spend it, to claim they need more,, NEVER ENDS!
What KIND of equipment, training? Respond to what KIND of 'incidents? Who will be working under ccoema? CC safety forces or others?
This is just another step forward to prepare for martial law as allowed and active under the Patriot Act. Next step: EPA mandates and takes control of open land. HUD will begin their 'compact housing' in inner cities. The zoning boards will be taken over by regional Agenda 21 operatives, like VIBRANT NEO 2040. Commissioners will jump at the money to do all this, but the taxpayers won't see a dime difference in taxes, (downward).
The Youngstown mayor is heavily involved in Agenda 21, (VIBRANT NEO 2040). I would believe Youngstown is next on people control and 'Open Land' takeover.
Say goodbye to liberty and property America.
$294,139 is a large amount of money - hopefully it is allocated for its intended use.
A lot of police departments are being gifted with federal funds with strings attached. That money is flowing out to municipal police departments faster than it can be counted. They are using this money to buy armored vehicles and military equipment. DHS is turning the police into soldiers.... The DHS private army.
