Quality shines through..
Reviewed by Stephen McCrrindle. Review Posted 23/11/2013
Superb keyboard. Build quality is superb, and the brushed aluminium finish looks extremely good. Red LEDs add a nice touch, as does the ability to switch on/off each key light individually.
Braided cable is nice, as is the USB pass through cable. (Makes it actually usable as opposed to other cheaper keyboards which never seem to supply enough power to the port
To use its very responsive and BF4 is a great deal more enjoyable now that I've switched up from my Logitech 105. Even for typing its so much better and more comfortable.
Would highly recommend.

Just to let you know that I have had some initial success connecting a Sony SMP-N200 to PMS v1.4.0. It doesn't work out of the box, so I copied the SonyBluray.conf file and modified it as follows:
- Code: Select all
RendererName=Sony SMP-N200
UserAgentAdditionalHeaderSearch=Media Player
I called the new file SMPN200.conf, and PMS seems to detect it correctly.
Unfortunately I can't easily test all media formats, since both the device and the server are somewhat remote, but I know basic media playing of images and video works. If I hear reports of media not playing when it should, I will try to tweak the supported formats in the new file and repost. I would also like to tweak the detection string to something a little more specific than Media Player, but again, that will have to wait until I can collect the appropriate info from the logs.

If any of you is interested in one, I build & sell movie servers for home, that allow you to archive all your BluRays and DVDs. This lets you save the discs from kids, and what I call the "PB&J syndrome". If you want to save some cash, we could talk about doing this with your existing PC, but it depends on how good it is. Otherwise, a new build will be pricey because the systems I build are really high end. These machines also make good for web surfing from your recliners, too.
Let me know if you have an interest, or could help spread the word for me. I'm trying to save up for a down payment for a motorcycle out of this business effort.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. — A new fee which shifts the cost of Calfire's wildland prevention services from the state to rural property owners is stoking tempers locally and across California.
Starting this summer, homeowners living within designated "State Responsibility Areas" will be billed $115 to $150 annually per habitable structure, for a total collection between $85 million to $89 million per year. Once the fee is in place, the state of California will reduce its Calfire funding by a similar amount.
Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown's office led the charge to implement the fees, after state analysts determined recent increases in the number of homes in rural areas increases the cost of fighting wildland fires, officials said.
Since the fee was introduced as a state budget trailer bill for fiscal year 2011-12, it has been a sore spot with rural agencies across California. Local leaders have argued the fee is not only applied unfairly to rural residents — pointing out it is just as difficult to fight a wildfire barreling toward a small town like Tahoe City as it is to battle a blaze heading toward San Diego — but it unjustly impacts the ability of local fire districts to raise money.
"I'm not going to say anything that supports this fee," said Rui Cunha, assistant director of emergency services for Placer County. "Our board of supervisors has come out strongly against it as bad public policy."
Critics such as Cunha say the fees will erode community support of local fire district bonds.
"Money collected in Placer County will not stay in Placer County," Cunha said. "And the money raised by the fee will not be put toward increased services."
Calfire Spokesperson Daniel Berlant agreed, saying homeowners would not see increased services — but he emphasized the value lies elsewhere.
"Bottom line is that these fees create a stable funding source for public safety," Berlant said. "Our budget is funded out of the state's general fund. When the economy is down, this is one of the areas reductions occur."
According to the Placer County Supervisors office, the fee could impact some 800,000 property owners and 31 million acres across the state. While the fee per habitable structure is $150, areas served by local agencies such as the North Tahoe Fire Protection District will receive a $35 discount.
Peter Poe, acting chief of North Tahoe Fire, said he is awaiting a scheduled briefing with Calfire officials, and has not yet made a public comment on the fees.
"Anytime you are going to charge a fee, you are punishing people. This fee is punishing the wrong people. We are not the ones starting fires," said Cunha, adding that another problem is a significant portion of the fee would go toward administration.
However, according to Calfire's accounting, only $9 million of the estimated $85 million to $89 million will be used to pay administration fees in the first year, Berlant said.
"And that number will drop to $6 million over the next two years," he said. "Most of the administration costs will go to the call center and after a few years, when people get used to seeing the bill, that admin cost will go down."
Calfire expects to field 250,000 calls the first year bills are sent out, Berlant said.
Property owners within the town of Truckee will not be accessed fire fees, as residents are not inside a designated SRA. The town has maintained its own contract with Calfire for wildland prevention and suppression services since it incorporated in 1993. In 2011-12, the contract covered a total of 8,095 acres surrounding town, at a cost of $20.18 per acre. The contract is Calfire's largest.

'Iron Man 3′ Tops Year-End Box Office, 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire' Close Behind
Hollywood closed out 2013 with record-setting revenues, thanks in large part to the franchise sequels that crowded last year's summer months.
For the calendar year, box office revenues were just over $10.9 billion – a new annual record and about $90 million more than 2012's total, according to Rentrak
"Iron Man 3" from Disney's Marvel Studios unit led the pack over the calendar year with a domestic gross of $409 million, but "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" from Lions Gate Entertainment is on track to become the top-grossing release of 2013. The movie, starring Jennifer Lawrence as warrior Katniss Everdeen, has already collected more than $395 million and remains in wide release.
The year-end numbers show how reliant the major studios have become on tentpoles, the productions that often need hundreds of millions of dollars in worldwide grosses to recoup gargantuan budgets and ad campaigns. The top 10 movies of the year, most of which were summer releases with production budgets exceeding $100 million, accounted for about 27% of the total year gross. Only two of those ten movies – "Frozen" and "Gravity" – were not sequels or franchise reboots.
But this past year also proved there was a saturation point for the big-budget movies, often based on comic books or older franchises. Two of 2013's most high-profile duds – Walt Disney Co.'s "The Lone Ranger" and "After Earth" from Sony's Sony Pictures Entertainment – flopped on arrival despite huge budgets and prime summer release slots.
Disney released four of the year's top ten movies, including "Monsters University" and "Oz the Great and Powerful," while Time Warner's Warner Bros. – the studio behind hits like "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "We're the Millers" – collected more revenue than any other major Hollywood studio. Warner Bros. released 19 movies this year, the second-highest of any studio behind Lions Gate, according to Box Office Mojo.
Next year's summer calendar is already stacked with sequels like "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and reboots that include "Godzilla" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
And in the winter, history starts repeating itself: Lions Gate will release the next "Hunger Games" installment in November, and the final chapter of Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" trilogy hits theaters about a month later. Both movies topped the list of 2014's most-anticipated films, according to a survey released this week by Comcast's Fandango.com.

Tennessee Female Attorneys Urged to Wear Less Revealing Outfits
Tennessee Circuit Judge Royce Taylor of Rutherford County doesn't think of himself as a rigid moralist, but he couldn't help but frown at the sleeveless dresses and low-cut blouses worn by female attorneys who appeared in his courtroom.
One woman, he told Law Blog, showed up at a workers compensation hearing wearing a golf shirt. He heard from another judge about a female lawyer who wore sweatpants.
"It's sort of a delicate issue. I didn't really know how to address it," Judge Taylor said. After getting advice from local attorneys and judges, he decided it was time to draw the line, distributing a memo last week to local bar associations.
"The unanimous opinion was that the women attorneys were not being held to the same standard as the men," Judge Taylor wrote in the memo. "I have advised some women attorneys that a jacket with sleeves below the elbow is appropriate or a professional dress equivalent…Your personal appearance in court is a reflection upon the entire legal profession."
Judge Taylor drafted the memo, first reported by The Tennessean, after the issue came up at a gathering of judges and attorneys last month.
The Tennessean said female attorneys heard chatter that the judge was going to require they wear pantyhose. Judge Taylor dispelled the rumor, saying there was no such pantyhose mandate.
"Everybody assumed the worst. It's basically trying to get everyone to dress professionally," he told Law Blog. That means "a little bit more formal than going to the bar and grill next door."
The reaction from female attorneys was mixed. One told the Tennessean she was "slightly offended" by the judge's stricter enforcement. Another, Michelle Blaylock-Howser, was more supportive, telling the paper that female attorneys shouldn't wear sleeveless dresses in the courtroom. "How we got off those standards is beyond me," she said.

SACRAMENTO -- In Gov. Jerry Brown's promise to start paying off California's massive liabilities, the largest single unfunded debt will not be seeing any additional pay-down in the coming fiscal year.
The unfunded liability for teachers' pensions stands at more than $80 billion, a gap so large that the fund is projected to deplete all its assets in about 30 years. It is the largest single component of both the state's unfunded retirement liabilities, which the Department of Finance puts at nearly $218 billion, and of the state's overall $354 billion in long-term obligations.
The deficit for the nation's largest educator-only pension fund is so huge it would cost teachers, local school districts, community colleges and the state budget a combined $4.5 billion a year to bridge. The California State Teachers' Retirement System says it grows by $22 million each day nothing is done.
Brown has no plans to start closing the gap in the fiscal year starting July 1.
Instead, he said he will meet with the key players over the next year to create a plan for long-term solvency. The proposal, which he discussed Thursday as he released his annual budget blueprint, is likely to include higher contributions from teachers whose future pension checks might otherwise be in jeopardy.
The debate "is going to be quite contentious," said Brown, a Democrat who is up for re-election this year.
Unlike other professions, teachers in California do not pay into Social Security and thus do not receive it when they retire, making their CalSTRS pensions particularly vital.
And unlike the California Public Employees' Retirement System, which covers a wide range of state and municipal employees, CalSTRS cannot unilaterally increase the amount it collects from state and local governments. CalSTRS contributions can be increased only if the Legislature votes to do so.
While CalPERS plans to boost contribution levels again next month for the third time in the last two years, the 8 percent that teachers pay into the pension fund from their salaries has not changed since 1972. The 8 ¼ percent that school districts pay has not been altered since 1990.
While the state's share can vary slightly, it has hovered at 5.5 percent including an annual cost-of-living adjustment -- about $1.4 billion a year. The state's general fund contribution to CalPERS is projected to top $1.8 billion next fiscal year.
The bulk of the pension funds' revenue comes not from contributions but from investment income. And that also is the cause of CalSTRS' problems.
The dot-com boom led to the fund being fully funded by 1998, but the windfall prompted state lawmakers to increase benefits and decrease the state's contribution. CalSTRS Chief Executive Officer Jack Ehnes said the fund has been seeking an increase ever since the tech market balloon deflated more than a decade ago, but the bottom really dropped out during the Great Recession.
There is general agreement that the gap cannot be bridged by the rebounding economy alone, said Ehnes and Ryan Miller, a CalSTRS analyst with the state's nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Office.
"There is no silver bullet," Ehnes said.
The Brown administration says the state cannot afford to absorb the full $4.5 billion annual increase because it would overwhelm other budget priorities. Paying $4.5 billion on top of the current $1.4 billion would eclipse state spending for the University of California and California State University systems combined, according to the legislative analyst.

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - July 22, 2014) - Battling estimated sustained winds of 145 mph and gusts to 175 mph, with waves over 45 feet, a Liquid Robotics Wave Glider® ocean drone positioned directly in the path of the storm successfully navigated and continuously collected weather data through the eye of Typhoon Rammasun (Category 5), one of Asia's biggest typhoons in 40 years. Conducting a meteorological mission in the South China Sea, the Wave Glider was deployed for a week prior to first encountering Rammasun's path on July 17
With seaports and transportation systems closed in multiple countries and caught squarely in the typhoon's path, the Wave Glider was remotely piloted through the storm collecting and transmitting vital and rare, real time wave, temperature, conductivity and current data all from the surface of the ocean. Collecting current data to 100 meters and full directional wave spectrum data, this encounter gives scientists a unique picture of the horrific surface conditions during this type of event. Until the invention of the Wave Glider no vehicle could travel through and survive typhoon/hurricane class storms to collect surface data without severe risk to human life.
"Our mission in building the Wave Glider was to build a surface drone which could persist in the ocean for very long periods of time despite the ocean's harshest conditions," said Roger Hine, Founder and CTO of Liquid Robotics. "There is no truer testament to the Wave Glider platform than the persistence of its sensor payload through one of the most catastrophic storms in recent history."
"There is no other method to study a storm of this magnitude from the surface of the ocean without an extreme high risk to human life," said Gary Gysin, CEO of Liquid Robotics. "Scientists require this surface data to improve storm prediction models and early warning systems. The loss of life and property destruction from Typhoon Rammasun have only strengthened our resolve to instrument the ocean while our hearts are with those affected by this monstrous storm."

But these SPAC shows were something else altogether. If we ignore the Ghost, we have what may very well be the grand Phish Hat Trick/Trifecta of jams: Drowned (labeled Saratoga Jam on LP), to close set I, is fucking phenomenal. Downright absurd. Completely focused and zoned in for the entire 22 minutes, this jam starts out, and then finishes, in the grandest of all forms of Hose, with only a handful of Trey's "signature" pull-off Post-Hiatus (PH) licks that he throws in whenever he doesn't have any ideas (you know what I'm talking about; he plays it in every solo, that 3-4 note descending flurry he starts every line with). In between, we have focused exploration and interplay with brilliant and inventive playing by all, not simply filler noodling. I dare give this an A/A+ rating (probably about only 2 points below the previous night's Piper). This is serious business, people.
Then we move on to the Set II opening of Seven Below. Patience pays off, as the band drives themselves to a similar Rawk Peak Hose climax. Its not quite as jaw-dropping as the Drowned, but it is magnificent, and truly deserving of a solid B/B+.
The Ghost is kind of an anomoly in this set, because it doesn't go anywhere, climax-wise, but it does engage in a nice, open groove for the entirety of the jam. Interesting to note, Trey does not sing this version. You can hear him come in a few times with his off-kilter cyclic phrasing, but this is all Fishman. Strangely, the one word that immediately came to mind during this jam was the word "Bulbous". This is a wide open, poofed-up groove. Its big; its got space. It has a unique vibe, but it was a vibe not attuned to Big Rawk Peak. This served as the valley between the bookends, the chill out bobble between the jumping-up-and-down screaming climaxes of Seven Below and the following Twist. Almost a musical setbreak, the way that the actual setbreak served to bridge the insanity of Drowned and Seven Below. An interesting Ghost, with a unique chilled out vibe.
But you know whats up with the smoooove segue into Twist. The segue into Ghost wasn't bad, but this segue into Twist is ab-so-lute-ly BUTTER. Immediately from the get-go, this one is on. Really animated and energetic hi-hat playing from Fishman, and everybody is giving him and Gordon room, who has turned on his liquid Boogie On effect. Page is rockin' it on the clav, and the jam has noticeably sped up by the 10 minute mark, although it has opened up just as much; theres TONS of space here. Trey is patiently sustained a couple notes and chords in between, and the energy comes wayyyy down, almost to silence. But Trey brings it back with a REALLY cool chord progression/riff. AND HE HAS TURNED OFF HIS OVERDRIVE!!!!!! NO OVERDRIVE!!!! NO CCRRRZZZZAAAANNNNKKKKK SQUAWKING!!!! This is fucking great stuff. It grooves around for a while, with Page adding nice colors with his clav by playing a lot of sustained chords and notes, and Trey patiently grooves it behind. Eventually Trey does turn his overdrive back on, but its working... and its not overkill. It works somehow, and he starts playing some really cool lead lines once we get to the 13 minute mark, continuing with some really interesting lines that are absolutely not his standard fare. You can hear Gordon bobbing and bouncing joyfully underneith, and by 14 minutes, you know that this is going to get fun. Fishman is keeping the same busy/energetic groove going on, and Trey is clearly outlining a distinct melody and progression for the jam to base off.
Finally, at 15 minutes, Page decides to FINALLY move to his organ for the first time all set. And this clearly inspires Trey, because it immediately starts The Lift Off. And now, we are FIRMLY underway to Ecstasy. Yeahh!!! Go Trey!!!! He fumbles a bit, but, being a guitar player, I can tell its because he got so lost in the moment that his fingers just fumbled the small frets high up the neck. But boy does he recover! At 16:30, he's shooting half-time machine gun licks at us, and riveting the jam up higher and higher. His PH lick comes in at 17 minutes, but whatever, becuase he starts his GLORIOUS trilling at 17:10, and NOW WE'RE HERE!!!!
From 17 minutes onward, this is pure brilliance. OMG GO Trey!!!! Gordon is inventively bumping underneith, and Fishman is smackin the shit out of his ride while Page matches Trey on the piano. TREY TRILLING!!!!!!! ASCENDING!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!! Total hose!!! Trey comes down into standard licks by 18:30, and a new groove develops that is really interesting. The trill-Hose could have certainly gone on longer, but I know that Trey just lost the frets in the lights and energy of that moment. This outro groove is REALLY fucking cool though. REALLY FUCKING cool. Just about 20 minutes on the dot, its over. Solid, solid A.
Anyway, the Drowned, Seven Below, and Ghost->Twist are probably the, in my book the greatest trio of jams the band ever played. And this is not even counting the YEM, which you knew had to be next. It hadn't been played yet, and it was the ONLY thing that could have possibly topped all of what had just happened.
Yes, greater jams had been had, but I can't think of any instance where 3 absolute hosers came one right after the other. Theres always great jams, and then theres those jams that defy greatness, and truly exemplify what Phish is and can do, by bringing you to musical peaks you couldn't even imagine, where the playing and harmonic content is as unique as the energy level is high.
Don't let the haters pull you in: 2004 had some of the absolute best Phish ever. The true highs of this year rival anything the band ever played, and I will vehemently argue that the 6/19/04 Piper, 6/20/04 Drowned, 6/23/04 Crosseyed/Noblesville Jam -> Slave, 6/26/04 Boogie On -> Alpine Jam -> Ghost, and the 8/10/04 ACDC Bag are amongst the greatest things the band ever played. Yes, that includes 11/17/97, Big Cypress, 6/18/94, Providence Bowie, Fleezer, 12/16/99 Tweezer... and honestly, including the 7/22/03 Gumbo, I would say that the 6/19/04 Piper and 8/10/04 ACDC Bag are easily amongst the top 10 jams of all time. The 6/23/04 Crosseyed -> Jam -> Slave bit might be also, because that has some truly, truly brilliant and imaginative playing within its context of Classic Hose Peak. The same with the Alpine Valley Boogie On -> Jam -> Ghost. The Boogie On jam is the same as the Crosseyed Jam from 6/23/04: Classic Hose Peak with great fucking playing, and the Ghost has a really inventive peak climax also that is really cool, based on some neat chordal playing from Trey.
Anyway, thats it. Just wanted to make sure people know what kind of brilliance actually lays hidden beneath the mire of most of PH. The highs were higher than ever before, because the band had continually evolved and grown, and when they really went THERE, as in the 7/22/03 Gumbo, 6/19/04 Piper, and 8/10/04 ACDC Bag (GORDON'S SLAP BASS LINES AT THE START OF THE JAM!!!!), it was beyond comprehension.

A Chorus of Disapproval: Rob Brydon, Nigel Harman, Ashley Jensen, Teresa Banham, Daisy Beaumont, Georgia Brown, Rob Compton, Matthew Cottle, Steven Edis
Directed by Olivier and Tony award-winner Trevor Nunn.
Making his West End theatre debut, Rob Brydon stars alongside Nigel Harman (Shrek, EastEnders) and Ashley Jensen (Extras, Ugly Betty) in Alan Ayckbourn's riotous comedy.
The Pendon Amateur Light Operatic Society's production of The Beggar's Opera is going off the rails, that is until a handsome but shy young widower Guy (Harman) joins the group. An instant hit with the company's ferociously zealous director Dafydd (Brydon) and the show's leading ladies, including Dafydd's wife Hannah (Jensen), Guy soon gets more than he bargained for as he discovers that all the best action happens off-stage. Classic songs fill the air as the drama on stage is mirrored by the romantic rivalry and small town squabbles causing a stir in the wings of this ambitious local show.
Not seen in London since the National Theatre's hit production over 25 years ago A Chorus of Disapproval aims to steal the limelight once more in the West End this Autumn.
Rob Brydon
This Swansea-born radio and TV presenter got his big break in 2001 with a series of short comedy monologues, 'Marion And Geoff', which were shown on BBC2. This was followed by further TV appearances as Keith Barret, presenter of a spoof chat show and, perhaps most notably, Bryn West in the sitcom 'Gavin & Stacey'. His stand-up shows have been equally successful, with sold out shows around the UK during 2008.
Rob Brydon tour dates
Nigel Harman
Nigel's television appearances include Red Cap and Doctors but he is most famous for his role as Dennis Watts in Eastenders. He has experience of Shakespearian theatre as well as appearing in a several musicals including My One And Only and Mamma Mia!

EMC Faces New Rivals in a 'Flash'
EMC Corp, which has dominated the corporate data storage systems business for more than three decades, faces pressure from a new generation of startups that want to capitalize on rising demand for the fast, but expensive, solid-state memory known as flash. The company acknowledges that flash is disrupting its markets, and has placed multiple bets on its future.
Flash is the storage media that is used in smartphones and many tablets. Unlike the traditional hard drive, it has no whirring parts, which allows it to boot up fast and retrieve information quickly. Over the years, it has moved from use primarily in mobile devices to many laptops. Increasingly, it is now moving into the corporate data center, where there is a need for faster storage systems to sift through unprecedented amounts of information. While racks, or arrays, of hard drives are still by far the dominant storage media in the data center, the use of flash is expected to grow.
"Flash is a big part of the evolution of storage," David Goulden, CEO of the EMC Information Infrastructure business, told CIO Journal in an interview.
The market for all-flash arrays is expected to reach $1.6 billion in 2016, up from about $300 million last year, according to Natalya Yezhkova, research director of storage systems at IDC. That doesn't include the market for hybrid arrays, which are part flash and part hard drive.
EMC was beat to market in the all-flash sector by startups such as Pure Storage Inc. But in the last few months, it has moved to catch up. Late last fall, it released its first all-storage array, called XtremIO. EMC also has bet heavily on hybrid arrays, which it says will be useful for many years.
The big question for flash, "is how you take cost out," Mr. Goulden says. In many cases, he argues, it still makes sense to use flash sparingly, in a hybrid system. "We are going to have a concept of the hot edge and the cold core, with lots of flash close to the application and Big Data 'lakes,' so that that you can run analysis against huge data sets," Mr. Goulden says.
He does acknowledge a demand for all-flash arrays, as well as hybrid arrays: "In the future, you will see us introduce multiple tiers of flash."
A number of startups are taking a different and more radical approach in their effort to drive down the cost of flash. Pure Storage says that it has developed proprietary algorithms that compress data and reduce the need to duplicate information. "There is a sea-change coming to the storage market. Flash is so much more powerful than disc, in terms of performance, energy conservation, space, reliability and simplicity," Pure CEO Scott Dietzen says. "We shrink the amount of data we need to store, compared to the disc array, by about six-fold. That allows us to close the cost gap. You can argue that flash is four times as expensive, but with six times more capacity, we are actually cheaper."
The company raised $150 million last August.
The rise of the all-flash array has hit some bumps, though. Shares of Violin Memory, an all-flash pioneer, fell sharply following its IPO, leading to the ouster of CEO Don Basile in December. He was replaced in February by Kevin DeNuccio.
Despite the emergence of a new cutting edge, CIOs and other customers still express interest in hybrid approaches. As CIO Journal reported in May, Ethan Erchinger, who runs a four-person IT shop at Comcast Corp.'s Silicon Valley Innovation Center, is moving away from a single disc-based data store and installing hybrid flash storage near his server racks.
"We have seen an improvement in terms of operations. It is about four times faster," he said. But Mr. Erchinger told CIO Journal that an approach based entirely on flash is too expensive, with a price tag of $6 or more per gigabyte. Disc drives can be purchased for much less –in the range of 50 cents to $1 for the same amount of capacity, while the price of a hybrid approach is "closer" to that of a disc, he said.
Regardless of what form it takes, flash is here to stay. Says Mr. Goulden: "A few years ago, most demand was for backup and support. That's not gone away, but there also has been an extension into speed. Customers want lightning fast performance, measured in microseconds, not milliseconds. That is where flash comes into play."

September 13, 2006
Augusta city leaders are continuing their investigation into the Recreation and Parks department.
Today, director Tom Beck came to respond to claims he waived education requirements for several jobs without the commission's approval.
Last week, he was on vacation, and that's when claims were presented about Beck along with human resources allegedly violating the city's hiring policies.
Today he was able to tell his side.
It's an investigation city leaders say is still turning up more questions than anything.
This time they're asking why Beck changed job descriptions and waived degree requirements.
"We do not need anyone to be changing job descriptions without going through all of the natural processes that they're supposed to go through," said Commissioner Calvin Holland.
Beck told the committee he got the okay from former city administrator George Kolb, who sent a letter in 2001 requesting minimum education requirements be changed due to difficulties in finding qualified candidates.
"He was my supervisor, he was the administrator, he sent back the approval to change it, that was a decision he made to change it," Beck said.
But the committee told Beck he violated city policy since the changes were never approved by the commission.
"If the commission did not approve it, then it's inappropriate," Holland said.
And while Beck says he knowingly did nothing wrong as far as hiring, at the end of the meeting he did admit he may have violated the city's nepotism policy by allowing one worker to manage another worker, who were both in-laws.
After hours of questioning, Beck told the media how the ongoing investigation is affecting him.
"You feel like there are times maybe your integrity might be questioned a little, but they have the right to ask the questions they feel need to be asked," he said.
Commissioners were expecting to wrap up this investigation today, but we're told there is more they plan to look into, including claims that the department accepted thousands in donations without going through the city's procurement office.

This is my master project from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts
School of Design in Copenhagen. The visual identity for the future light rail transit in Aalborg is created to fit the city and targeted to the users in Aalborg. It is done with a logo and a custom typeface in a friendly and welcoming visual language with references to industrial typefaces. The material concrete is closely related to the history of Aalborg as an old industrial city. The clock is not only functional but also a visual landmark in the urban space.Branding, Graphic Design, Typography2015

Visual identity for the 2012 fashion graduate show at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. I looked at photography as the key inspiration for the identity. I found it interesting to set focus on the fashion industry's dependency on photography as media. I used the aesthetics of the camera's viewfinder as an inspiration for ten unique logos and to literally set fokus on the ten graduates.
The idea about the catalog was to present each of the ten designers on their own unique businesscard. When these are held together with cardboard tape they form the catalog.Branding, Graphic Design, Print Design2013
I was given the task to make 250 individual album covers to the band Like A Tigers new EP. Because of a very small budget, I decided to use old covers from an earlier release and make them their new cover by painting them with a thick white paint. The white paint reveals some of the old cover beneath and therefore the new covers all look dirrerent from each other. To make the cover more unique I decided to screen print the info on a banderole and to get the CD inside, you would have to break it.
Like A Tigers music is lovely and I can recommend you to listen to it at www.likeatiger.dkArt Direction, Graphic Design, Packaging2012
This is an album cover for the modern classical composer Allan Gravgaard Madsen. My idea was to translate Allan's sensuous music to a visual experience with an element of senuality.
Each side of the record contains one musical composition by Allan. The two compositions are called Waves and Crystal Tapastry. Each has its own front page; Waves is a visualisation of the music performed by nine trompets in a line. I made it as simpel as posible with nine circels on a line. Crystal Tapestry is a pattern of crystals that has no front or back end, it refers to a crystal that merge into it self. Inside I made a visualisation that combines the two sides, a crystalized wave. On the record i made patterns that gives the design a visual sensuality. I made an analog animation with a 50 Hz strobe lamp and got it to interact with the music.Graphic Design, Motion Graphics, Packaging2012
This is a school project about visualizing sounds in the urban space. I chose Kongens Have (the King's Garden) in Copenhagen and started out by recording sound and measure sound levels. Based on the information I created visualizations of the different frequencies which I divided into layers and I added some space in between each layer.
It is a scaled down sketch and is intended in billdboard size. The idea was to install the work in the environment in which the measurements were made, in this case Kongens Have. You can experience the work by moving between each layer and explore the interaction between the layers.Art Direction, Visual Arts, Installation Design2012

Is a project for the first year exam at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Design. The assignment was to make a visual identity for a fictitious airline company. I chose my target group to be royal people and monarchy. I started with the logo, inspired by dimonds and jewels.
I wanted the visual identity to have a national version for the each of the royal families. Therefore I called the company Royal Air. "Royal" is always written in the language of the royal family and "Air" remains in English as a element of recognition.2011

The use of vaccines dates back to Jenner and Pasteur, who first described the concept of vaccination more than 200 years ago. Since then, vaccines have been used successfully in humans and animals, and aside from clean water represent the most effective means of controlling systemic, respiratory, and gastrointestinal infections in both humans and animals.Adjuvants: Important Components of Vaccines
Adjuvants are important components of vaccines. They provide an additional stimulus for the immune system, which typically results in stronger immune responses, and can assist in delivering or even targeting of the vaccine. Adjuvants represent a wide variety of molecules and formulations including cell-wall components, alum, QuilA, immunostimulatory complexes (ISCOMs), carbomers, liposomes, and oil-in water emulsions, to name a few. Many of these adjuvants have been developed empirically without an exact understanding of their mechanisms of action. Recent research, however, has provided insight into the activation of the immune system by pathogen recognition receptors, including toll like receptors, C-type lectins, mannose-receptors, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptors. These receptors typically recognize highly conserved molecular pattern in pathogens such as bacterial DNA, lipopolysaccharide, or flagellin1,2 and activation often leads to increased NF-κB and/or type I interferon (IFN) production, which can result in up-regulation of chemokines and cytokines needed for a variety of immune functions including recruitment of immune cells to the site of immunization, activation and maturation of dendritic cells, and improved presentation of the antigen.3–5 These events constitute the innate immune response phase, which serves to 1.) contain and eradicate pathogens, and 2.) induce an appropriate adaptive immune response to eliminate infection and prevent reccurrence. Thus, by signaling through pathogen recognition receptors, adjuvants can stimulate both innate and acquired immunity resulting in stronger and longer lasting immune responses to vaccination.
Immune responses elicited by vaccines can be divided into innate and acquired immune responses. Innate immune responses occur within hours of infection or vaccination and are characterized by upregulation of chemokines and cytokines, typically providing a pro-inflammatory environment at the site of immunization. Other innate immune molecules include host defense peptides, also called cationic antimicrobial peptides, complement, and acute phase proteins, which together can recruit and activate dendritic cells to provide a link with the acquired immune response.5 The latter is characterized by the presence of antibodies and cytotoxic T cells, both of which are highly antigen-specific and which recognize very specific structures of the pathogen.
While vaccination in the past traditionally has focused on the induction of the acquired immune response, more recent approaches are focused on stimulating both innate and acquired immunity. In fact, it has become clear now that the innate immune response sets the stage for the acquired immune response, and thus, novel immunomodulators are being used as vaccine adjuvants that can link both innate and specific immunity to enhance the immune responses following vaccination.
Vaccination of the Newborn
Enhancing and modulating immune responses is particularly important in neonates, as infants and young children are highly susceptible to many diseases. When compared to the adult immune system, the neonatal immune system displays a number of functional differences, including its bias towards a Th2-type immune response, delayed germinal center development, shorter lifespan of plasma cells, fewer T-helper cells, and functionally impaired antigen-presenting cells. Together, these functional differences represent a great challenge for the development of effective vaccines for the newborn. Furthermore, potential interference with maternally-derived antibodies makes most vaccines less effective in the neonate.

Is it a bug or do I just don't understand the deep sense of it ....
Why does it matter how I create a selection box?
If I start left and finish right it looks like this:
... if I start right and finish left it looks like this:
I adjusted the colors (Application preferences -> Graphics View -> Colors -> Selection Box Border, Selection Box) and it act different dependent on how I create a selection box.
What is the trick?
