Mao, K, Shi, J, Tang, H, Li, ZL, Wang, X, Chen, KS (2008). A neural network technique for separating land surface emissivity and temperature from ASTER imagery. IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING, 46(1), 200-208.
AbstractFour radiative transfer equations for Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) bands 11, 12,13, and 14 are built involving six unknowns (average atmospheric temperature, land surface temperature, and four band emissivities), which is a typical ill-posed problem. The extra equations can be built by using linear or nonlinear relationship between neighbor band emissivities because the emissivity of every land surface type is almost constant for bands 11, 12, 13, and 14. The neural network (NN) can make full use of potential information between band emissivities through training data because the NN simultaneously owns function approximation, classification, optimization computation, and self-study ability. The training database can be built through simulation by MODTRAN4 or can be obtained from the reliable measured data. The average accuracy of the land surface temperature is about 0.24 K, and the average accuracy of emissivity in bands 11, 12, 13, and 14 is under 0.005 for test data. The retrieval result by the NN is, on average, higher by about 0.7 K than the ASTER standard product (AST08), and the application and comparison indicated that the retrieval result is better than the ASTER standard data product. To further evaluate self-study of the NN, the ASTER standard products are assumed as measured data. After using AST09, AST08, and AST05 (ASTER Standard Data Product) as the compensating training data, the average relative error of the land surface temperature is under 0.1 K relative to the AST08 product, and the average relative error of the emissivity in bands 11, 12, 13, and 14 is under 0.001 relative to AST05, which indicates that the NN owns a powerful self-study ability and is capable of suiting more conditions if more reliable and high-accuracy ASTER standard products can be compensated.

Pittsburgh Central Catholic eliminates McDowell football
Pittsburgh Central Catholic limited McDowell to 91 yards of offense as the Vikings routed the Trojans 48-7 in a PIAA Class AAAA quarterfinal today at Veterans Stadium.
Central Catholic (14-0) moves on to the PIAA semifinals next week against the District 3 champion.
McDowell (7-6) hung tough in the first half allowing just two touchdowns to quarterback J.J. Cosentino before disaster struck at the end of the second quarter. Division I linebacker recruit Niko Thorpe forced a fumble as McDowell was trying to get a late score, and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown to give the Vikings a 21-0 lead at the half.
McDowell cut the Central Catholic lead to 28-7 early in the fourth quarter when Jake Tarasovitch hit Jamie Tyree Spearman on a 27-yard touchdown pass before the Vikings responded with three touchdowns.

Knowledge Discovery in Spectral Data by Means of Complex Networks
AbstractIn the last decade, complex networks have widely been applied to the study of many natural and man-made systems, and to the extraction of meaningful information from the interaction structures created by genes and proteins. Nevertheless, less attention has been devoted to metabonomics, due to the lack of a natural network representation of spectral data. Here we define a technique for reconstructing networks from spectral data sets, where nodes represent spectral bins, and pairs of them are connected when their intensities follow a pattern associated with a disease. The structural analysis of the resulting network can then be used to feed standard data-mining algorithms, for instance for the classification of new (unlabeled) subjects. Furthermore, we show how the structure of the network is resilient to the presence of external additive noise, and how it can be used to extract relevant knowledge about the development of the disease.

Athletic Facilities Manager Larry Carlson's primary work responsibilities—setting up folding chairs, ironing uniforms, maintaining playing fields and the gym floors—haven't exactly helped land him in the spotlight.
But whatever the job, Carlson did it for the Lord.
"To me, it's (my) part in the puzzle, and it takes a lot of people to make a program function," Carlson said.
After 40 years of helping Maranatha's program function, Carlson will retire at the end of this school year.
"In my house, Larry was always referred to as 'Faithful Larry,' " Charlotte Cedarholm, a friend of Carlson since 1965, said. "I don't know of a more hardworking, selfless, faithful man than Larry."
The Maranatha campus looks quite different than when Carlson first saw it as a member of the first student body during the 1968-69 academic year. Residence halls have been added as well as the library and Dining Complex. The student body was much smaller, making it easier to know every student. Meals were served family style; if a student were unlucky enough to land in "starvation corner," he or she could be stuck waiting for the second round of food.
After completing his general studies degree, Carlson went on to fill multiple positions for Maranatha, including his current job.
"The Lord gave me peace about (staying)," Carlson said.
Carlson's job includes setting up and taking down some 750-800 folding chairs every morning for chapel. With his crew of around 30 students, this takes only about 40 minutes, he said. Carlson admits to being very particular about how the chairs are set up.
"It's got to be done right," he said.
Carlson enjoys being able to build friendships with his student crew members that last long after graduation. "I want them to feel free to talk to me," he said, and it seems many do. Carlson recently received a call from a former student now living in California who just needed someone to talk to. Another stayed in Carlson's home while student teaching, and he has become "grandpa" to her children.
"The hardest thing for me about leaving Maranatha is leaving the kids," he said.
Carlson is, however, looking forward to the free time retirement will bring. Although he will stay in Watertown, he and wife Linda plan to do a lot of traveling. Frequent stops will include Naples, FL, to visit their son Mike and his family; and Kansas City, MO, to visit their daughter Amy and her family. The Carlsons look forward to more frequent visits with grandchildren. Carlson also plans to catch up on projects and have more time for hobbies like landscaping, gardening, and photography. He hopes to go on a missions trip with his wife while continuing to serve at his church.
Athletic Director Rob Thompson said Carlson's work has been "predominately behind the scenes."
"Larry Carlson has been a loyal and faithful employee these past 40 years," Thompson said. "His knowledge of the history, legacy, students, faculty, and staff has been a valuable resource to the Athletic Department. Though Larry is retiring from his work at Maranatha, he will always be a Crusader in heart and spirit."

Black Books are a relatively new band in the ever progressing Austin indie scene, but there are many familiar faces and local legends among the quintet. The band, Kevin Butler (guitar), Mike Parker (bass), Ross Gilfillan (vocals/drums), Meg Gilfillan (keyboards), and Clark Curtis (keyboards/synths) released their debut EP An Introduction To... this past February though UK based/ATX affiliated Shifting Sounds Records, a stunning atmospheric indie record with dazzling songwriting and all encompassing orchestration. We got a chance to catch up with the guys just in time for their SXSW schedule, which begins tonight, 9 PM at Skinny's Ballroom (hope to see you there). Without further ado, a continued "introduction to..." the Black Books...
EIS: You have all played in different bands in the Austin scene, how did you get together? How long have you been playing as Black Books?
Clarke: Black Books began in October 2009 out of the interest in practicing with old friends in a garage out in Manor, TX.
Mike: It was a very organic thing. I remember calling up Kevin (guitar) and asking what he was up to, and he told me to meet with the guys for a few beers at Ross and Meg's house. We all picked up some instruments in their garage and started jamming out.
Ross: Meg and I were wanting to get in a band together. We married and moved back to the Austin area… in Manor actually. Kevin and I had been in other inter-mingling bands for a couple years and had been talking about forming a band again if we ever had free time. . .this went on for years actually. I would write a song and have Kevin record it in his studio and he would play on it because I couldn't play guitar at all. Little known facts… Kevin, Clarke and I started hanging when we were kids and we learned to play our instruments together in middle school. He had a fun little band all the way through high school. Also, Meg was playing piano in jazz band and Kevin and I played drums in that as well. There is a lot of history here but Black Books has been together for a year and a half now.
EIS: Where'd the name come from? Were there any other strong candidates before settling on Black Books?
Clarke: The name derives from the realization that a lot of important written pieces in literary history had the same cover. Steady Bronco was our runner up.
Kevin: Clarke came up with it, and to me it just had a cool nostalgic kind of feel.
EIS: How would you describe Black Books live? Do you look to push the boundaries of the recordings in different directions?
Mike: I think our music is very atmospheric, and the live shows are an opportunity to sort of 'envelope' the crowd in the sound. I think we have a very full and warm sound, and it comes through live.
Kevin: I think we stay pretty true to the recordings. Just louder and sloppier :)
Ross: Push the boundaries... not really... I just try and play and sing the right parts at the right time at this point. But it seems to be working out.
EIS: You guys were able to grab a last minute official showcase during SXSW, how did that come about? Who are you playing with/when is it?
Kevin: Not really sure! Just got an email one day. Apparently an international band couldn't get their visa in time, and I guess we were next on the list. The show is at Dirty Dog Bar on Wednesday at 8:30.
EIS: What were the recording sessions like for the EP?
Kevin: Pretty painless. I think there was only one part of one song that we really kind of got stuck on. Ended up turning into a great moment on the EP (1st verse of Green Screen) Everything else was smooth sailing.
Mike: As always, it's a blast to record at Test Tube Audio. Kevin is very good at isolating the good performances and figuring out what works and what doesn't work. Exeter recorded a couple albums there, so Test Tube is like a second home to me.
Ross: For the most part we didn't have to work that hard… the majority of the material didn't change from just playing an idea that seemed to materialize in the moment and then polishing it up into a song. It happened really naturally and quickly… it had to, we just had a couple hours a week to play and hammer things out.
EIS: There seems to be a great range of influences on the EP, does the band share collective musical influences?
Ross: We all agree that the Pixies might and might not influence all of our music... if at all. I'm glad we could clear that up for you.
EIS: After self releasing your EP digitally, you signed with Shifting Sounds to release a physical record. How did you hook up with Shifting Sounds? Are you enjoying the added support of an international label?
Ross: I am just happy that someone likes it and believes in us enough to attach their reputation to it… even if it is on another continent and they talk funny.
Kevin: My buddy Brandon started working for them, so I gave him a copy of the EP. He passed it on to Andy in London, and I guess they decided they wanted to put it out. They've been doing a lot of great things for us, and it's also fun to say that you're on a European label.
EIS: Ross, as both the lead singer and drummer, do you feel it's finally time for "the drummer to get some"? Do you have a favorite singing drummer that influenced you to do both?
Ross: I think that drummers do just fine most of the time… I will remind you that I got Meg to marry me when I was just a drummer. On my drummer/singer influences – I didn't have anyone that I was trying to emulate. I just wanted to see if I could do it. But I have recently gained a lot of admiration for Levon Helms of THE BAND. That guy is the real deal.
EIS: The album's artwork is very majestic. Where did the cover art for the EP come from? Was there a theme you were going for?
Clarke: The album cover is a collage of elements from a single photo of a cave. We thought the image reflected the sound of EP (a journey from the depths, and the ascension to light), and the overall aesthetic of the band at the time.
EIS: Kevin, as the highly sought after producer at Test Tube Audio (one of the go-to Austin studios), do you ever see yourself having time to tour with Black Books? Is there any consideration of touring outside of Texas?
KB: Yeah, definitely. We recently got together as a band and all decided that touring was definitely a feasible possibility. BTW, Shifting Sounds, when's our UK tour happening!?
EIS: If you could have the band's photo on any cereal box, which would you pick and why?
Clarke: Basic 4, but with an added flavor to make it Basic 5 (there's 5 of us in the band). Maybe it would come with a digital download of a exclusive track by us made entirely with cereal sounds.
Kevin: Raisin Bran. It's what my Mom buys. And I'm sure she would love that.
EIS: How is the writing going for the full length? What can fans expect from the next batch of Black Books songs?
Clarke: Broody & moody
KB: It's going really well. I think overall it might be a tad darker, but there will be even brighter moments. Also, I think we're going to take full advantage of the longer format, and be able to put songs on the LP that are more album songs than EP songs, and we're excited about showing that side of the band.
Ross: I feel like we are getting more comfortable with who we are as a band and who we aren't. We are just better at being Black Books then we were last year putting the EP together. The highs are higher and the lows are lower but the songs ride like a Cadillac… big and comfortable.
EIS: Mike, many fans of EIS know you as the former singer/guitarist for the beloved Exeter. The band sort of dissolved without any real warning or statement. What happened there? Do you plan on doing any vocal duties on the next Black Books record?
Mike: Long story short, the band really hit the brakes after our tour in January. We decided on a short hiatus, since all of us were delving into other musical projects -- Rocky with Este Vato, Cameron and Ky with the Town Hall Devils and me with Black Books. That hiatus has eventually turned into a permanent break. I wish all of them the best.
As for vocal duties, I chime in here and there on a few songs, but that will probably be the extent of that. Ross is the man when it comes to vocals.
EIS: Kevin, you handled all the recording and production for the debut. Do you approach the process any differently when it's your own band?
KB: Nothing drastically different. I'll adjust my production/engineering style according to what each band calls for, and in this case, it was mostly all about capturing good vibes. Most of the pre-production occurred subliminally during the songwriting process, so when it was time to record, we already had good blueprints.
EIS: Having produced so many great up-and-coming bands over the years, are there any new Austin bands that have really blown away recently?
KB: Thanks!, Yes, a lot of really cool bands comin' down the pipeline. I'm finishing up a full length with Sevonica (ex Goodnight Goddess members doing a more chill-electro pop kind of stuff). Also gearing up to work on the new Magnet School album, which I'm super stoked about.
EIS: Ultimate goal for 2011?
Clarke: Getting the LP out and play outside of Austin, TX.
Mike: The next record is our main priority right now along with playing some solid live shows.
Ross: Our main focus is to put out the best recording we possibly can... I want to have no regrets when it is done. I want to show my kids one day and tell them... "Your mother and your old man were cool... I promise."

It all started with a few seeds planted by Dr. Geddes on Oblate Spheroidal waveguides, and what might be the ideal profile for reducing the horn colouration from horns (HOMs), while maintaining controlled directivitiy...
Based around a 12" OSWG from Poland married to a BMS 4550 compression driver, this design also uses a 12" JBL 2206H mid.
Plans as follows:
A seperate cabinet also houses a JBL W15GTI 15" subwoofer. Yes, a car audio sub, with JBL's patented Dual Differential Drive system. I chose this driver as it will play relatlively low, without requiring a huge enclosure volume like some of JBL's counterparts, while still being ~92db efficient.
Cabinets are 50mm thick MDF, with an internal 25mm brace and all drivers rear mounted as to see no screws. This meant that the backs had to be removable which presented a few problems in itself, of which these are documented later on.
Edges are also feature a 25mm roundover (would have liked bigger but finding a router bit was proving difficult).
My next task was finding some (un)lucky sucker to do the hard work for me
He conveniently had access to a CNC, which made life much easier!
Wow, lots of wood! I think we used about 4 or 5 sheets of 2400 x 1800 x 25mm MDF.
Getting it back to his place sure was fun!

Looking good so far... And what a lovely 15" sub we have here
The next step was laminating pieces together. After all we used 25mm thick material, but I wanted 50mm thick walls (yes, i am a little crazy).
Some lovely ~30kg/ea batteries used as dead weight.
Some more test fitting once panels have been laminated (back panel hasn't been done yet).
Now came a thought - how would we join these without using screws....?
Hmmm... dowel you say? Sure why not!
Maybe a little overkill, you tell me

And eventually...
We end up with this!
Next task was routing the edges to have a nice smooth round over.
Enter 1" roundover bit (actually 2" wide):
Which sadly was too wide to fit in the router, so an adaptor plate needed to be made:
And then we could round over the edges!
And then... the boxes multiplied!!!
The inside corners were also treated with some quad and liberal amounts of glue.
Posted 21 December 2011 - 09:57 AM
And so on to the internal bracing...
Now how will we secure these?
Some fancy flip and twist method with dowel:

These were magically rounded over as well...

A brace behind to sandwich them into place:
The inside of the sub boxes also got a layer of paint on sound deadener (also helps seal the insides):
And somewhere along the line they also got a coat of paint (note: it is actually matt black).
Mounting the back panels was a headache.
In the end we used some insert nuts which are freaking awesome!
Some foam was also placed inbetween as a gasket.
Mounting the terminals through 50mm mdf also proved challenging:
The inside of the top cabinets was lined with 25mm foam:

Please note that the finish is not the final finish these speakers will get.
They will be professionally painted when time and funds persist.
We used undercoat to seal the MDF so it will not absorb moisture, and we painted them matt black with $2 spray cans.
We also needed to finish these in a bit of a rush, so there are still a few spots that require a bit of fill and/or sanding back.
The next drama was how to hell do I get them to my house?
Well thankfully these 70+kg/ea speakers aren't so bad with 2 ppl and a trailer involved:

Very imposing speakers indeed
(Apologies for the phone camera pic, more to come!)
A cabinet will be made to fit the length of the wall, and house all equipment and speakers.... But this will be a project for another year
Equipment consists of the following:
The drivers in use:
Highs: BMS 4550 1" exit compression driver in 12" Oblate Spheroidal waveguides, filled with 30ppi reticulated foam.
Mids: JBL 2206H 12" midrange/midbass
Lows: JBL W15GTI
Top cab is approx ~1cu.ft, while the bass cab is approx 3cu.ft.
CD Player is Tascam CD-01U Pro
Which feeds into a Behringer SRC2496 sample rate convertor.
Crossover/EQ/TA will be handled via a Behringer DCX2496.
Volume control is still an Altronics volume control kit, awaiting on a mate to finish the custom volume control
Power is delivered by 3 Yamaha P7000s amplifiers
and filtered through a PS Audio IPC 9000
TV is a Panasonic 55" Plasma
Thanks for viewing

Imaging is great, and dynamics are impressive. The speakers ability to play loud and clean is incredible!
I had measurements however my silly computer decided it wanted to crash instead of let me show you them, so i'll take more at some stage.
The room they're in is bare. There is only a couch in there, so I added 2 large beanbags to help. RT is about 500ms, so definately some room treatment coming. There are also windows next to each speaker, and curtains still need to be put up.
My only negative so far is the midrange... I feel that the 20+ yr old JBL 2206's might not be up to the task. May look at some AE TD12M's when funds persist
Posted 21 December 2011 - 11:39 AM
What kind of finish are you looking at? The tricky one with MDF is the cracks at butt joins. Do you have a strategy in mind for that? I'm trying out two part filler applied to a groove over the join cut with the router. I'm also getting set up to spray automotive paint.

Although there is the posibility these will be hiding behind a projector screen at some stage, which would mean they would not need to be finished...
In hindsight, all edges should have been cut on 45's and biscuit joined. This would hopefully stop any signs of joins showing through.
There was also a little bit of damage done in transit. Nothing major, just a bit of paint rubbed off, and certain spots will need a bit of filler.
Yeah, between building these speakers, I have moved to DIY central, not far from you and Andi
Still lots of work to do on the house too though.
More then happy to organise an impromptu GTG at some stage over the holiday break. You guys can help me position and tune these things

Would the filler not be at risk of moving and causing lines to be seen?
If your boxes are flat (and not rounded like mine), I would suggest vinyling your speakers, and then painting over the vinyl.
The vinyl should hide any joins.
Posted 21 December 2011 - 03:47 PM
Looks great Fury. A nice piano black finish maybe?
I did my last speakers in piano black.
It's a bit too mundane for me.
I'm thinking either a metallic dark blue, or metallic dark grey.
If however they end up behind a projector screen, i'll leave them as is.
Posted 21 December 2011 - 04:22 PM
Metallic finish sounds nice. You could try what I'm doing. It is a bit of a hassle but you cut a groove at the join, then fill with 2 part filler. Given all the effort you've put into this, I'd say it's worth it. All the joins on mine will be hidden, but I'm trying it out so that I'll know with the other jobs where it's critical.
Paul the 'Technical' name for what you are doing is called "Purfling" Luthiers use decorative materials like shell, wood and metals to hide the join and make it stronger. Using body filler is obviously less time consuming, but the results are the same. A stronger invisable joint with a high resistance to hairline cracks. Certainly well worth the effort if you plan on a high gloss finish.
FANTASTIC!! speaker build Fury, thanks for taking the time and effort to document your build.
Posted 21 December 2011 - 07:55 PM
If you leave MDF butt joins you are certain to get hairline cracks. The filler has a much better chance. Veneer is not an option for me because all edges will have a roundover

Last Sunday, Laguna, the St. James men's soccer team, won the championship of the Liga Rasa Soccer League in a match played at Mankato. It is the first league championship Laguna has ever won.
In a decisive away match, Laguna defeated the Jalapenos from Mankato 2-1. This match was played after Laguna tied the Mankato team 1-1 in a match played in St. James one week earlier.
The champion was determined by the total score of both games, so Laguna won by an accumulative score of 3-2.
The Liga Rasa League has been around since 1996 and is comprised of 12 teams from southern Minnesota.

This will be my fifth BlogHer conference, all of which I've attended with child - either attached to my boob for some or most of it, or in my belly, like this time.
It's no wonder people think I'm pregnant all the time. And really, they're not that far off.
There will be no shortage of fantastic posts in the next few weeks, some of which have already been floating around, that will give new attendees and even the old pros tips on how to survive BlogHer.
I pretty much covered all the goods in last year's post, but here are my five additional thoughts on how to enjoy BlogHer 2010 - with special props to those of us who will be doing it pregnant and sober.
1. Just because someone writes it on their blog doesn't make it a good conversation starter
Bloggers are actual people, folks, so if you want to go up and say "hello," a simple "Hi, I'm [insert name - also Twitter handle - that helps!)] and I really enjoy reading your blog" is great. Even small talk like "I love your outfit, where did you get those shoes, who designed your header" is fine.
But avoid bringing up deeply personal material - like a bad car accident, recent divorce, or daughter's traumatic incident with a dog - as a way to introduce yourself. "So, I can't believe your husband left you!" isn't the best way to start things off.
Bottom line: Social skills are highly underrated.
2. Be smart about swag
As many of you may have heard or remember, last year the BlogHer swag situation was out of control.
And sure, I get it. Free stuff is awesome. I love me some 400 jump drives.
But remember that you have to figure out a way to get all that free stuff home. If you want to pack an extra suitcase and pay to check it, or fork over the cost to have the hotel ship boxes home, go for it. But keep in mind that most of the stuff that you're shipping isn't worth the amount you're paying to ship or check it.
More importantly, it's definitely not worth having to maul babies and tackle women.
Bottom line: Don't be a swag-hag.
3. Pace yourself, party goers
This year I decided not to RSVP for anything, save one or two very small parties, and I'm still overwhelmed with the number of events going on over the entire weekend. The truth is if you're with friends, you'll have fun wherever you end up, because hello, it's NYC baby!But better, you won't end up sleeping through half of the next day and taking another few days to recover when you get home.
The best times I had last year weren't actually at parties but rather when I just planted myself outside of one to take a breather. I ended up meeting and actually chatting with more people that way than I did at anything else.
I realize that people are hot for BlogHer parties, but unless you keep up a 3-4 party and however many drink a night pace at home, you might be in for a rude awakening (literally) the next day.
Bottom line: Even Lindsay Lohan has a limit. Know yours before you end up like this (heh).
4. You probably won't see everyone that you want to see and that kinda sucks
I'm fortunate in that I'm either lugging a baby in a baby carrier or a belly carrier, so most people who are looking for me can follow the baby yelps or swollen ankles and find me. But that seems to make it extra challenging for me to find other people. And honestly, I think missing the chance to shake the hands or squeeze the boobs of some of your favorite people can be the most disappointing part of the BlogHer experience.
If you know in advance that you probably might not see everyone, or at least, get a chance to talk with them for more than a few minutes, then it helps. Or, make a list and figure out a way to meet up with them - whether it's saying "hi" after they present at a session, tweeting at them to find out where they are (which is different from tweet-nagging or worse stalking them - ahem), or making small talk while you're washing your hands after a bathroom break.
The operative word being "after." Pee chat can be a little awkward.
Bottom line: You might not meet everyone on your list. And that's okay.
5. There are heroes among us
If you find yourself getting caught up in the awesome but sometimes overwhelming madness that can be BlogHer - the sessions, the parties, your entire blogroll and twitter follow feed right in the same room, remember how amazing it is to have this opportunity to meet up with some of the greatest women (and inspiring little boys) around.
Whether I'm able to tell them personally or not, some of my own heroes will be there - some of whom might be yours as well. Some are already good friends. Others are folks I admire from afar.
Either way, getting to be with them - whether it's sharing a hotel room, a non-alcoholic beverage, or a cab to and from the airport, heck even just being in the same room with them - is what makes the weekend a success for me. Figure out what it means to you and then remind yourself of that.
Bottom line: Whether BlogHer '10 is awesome or not is solely in your own hands
Check last year's tips on how to survive BlogHer, as well as my BlogHer 2007 and Blogher 2008 awards. Ah the memories!

Does your start-up need a business credit card?Published 7/11/13
By Justin Boyle
I'm not sure exactly when the fever took hold, but more than a few people I know have made the decision to start businesses in the last year or so. Whether it's turning an old Airstream trailer into a food truck, founding a software startup or turning a love of vintage objects into a resale shop on eBay, entrepreneurialism seems to be happening all around me.
Some general themes emerge when my enterprising friends talk about their ventures. Cautious optimism is pretty common, as you might expect, and practically everyone sighs heavily over start-up costs and overhead. All those sighs set me to wondering: What's the best way to pay for it all?
People who applied for business credit cards before doing any hefty spending tend to swear by their method, but those who dove into using their own personal credit haven't reported a long list of regrets either. Is one way really better than the other?
Let's take a look at some of the factors.
Reasons to get a business credit card
One of the biggest headaches of sole proprietorship is the necessity to keep track of your business finances.Read the full article »

A Million Days or a Million Dollars
Maybe they weren't.
A million days equals 2,739.7 years. The odds are very good that at some point during those years - say at around the 80 year mark, if not before - you might get Alzheimer's, or Lou Gehrig's Disease, or cancer. You'll only have to live another 2,659.7 years with that problem. You might be lucky and live 100 years before anything major happened to your body, but still... Generation after generation of people would have to take care of you. How would you support yourself and all of your elderly medical needs?
Nope! Not for me!
I'll take the million dollars, thank you, and I'll live my short little life here. A million dollars isn't much in the U.S. nowadays, but it could sure buy a lot of mosquito nets for people in Africa. I could sponsor a lot of women in the Women for Women, International program. I could help out a few friends. Yep, my million dollars would do more good than adding 2,000+ years to my old age would.
Maybe there should be an 11th commandment: Thou shalt not covet more years or wealth than needed, but thou shalt instead make the best of each moment.

Elder Practice
We finally got a snowstorm that brought more than an inch or two. I think that we got about 8 inches last night into this morning. A pretty, perfect blanket of white fluff.
It's very kind of the climate to change like it is at this time of my life. When I was a teenager, we got a lot more snow than we do now. I loved it! We had a huge hill across the street and we lived for snowy days - and there were many - when we would "tube" down the hill on giant inner-tubes. That hill is now covered in homes, there is rarely enough snow to tube on nowadays, and I'm too old to do it without breaking into pieces. Now I'm just trying to stay strong enough to shovel the little snow that we get.
I'm still in the process of letting my hair grow out again in preparation for my old age. The photo above was taken today. I've mentioned before that my plan, ever since I was a little kid, has been to emulate my grandmother so that when I get older, I'll have very long hair which I'll put up on my head. I just can't figure out at what point I'll be an elder. When I'm 80? Tomorrow? (Today?)
At the point of "elderness", do I get a free pass out of snow shoveling?

Fierce Grace
What a heart-opening movie!
Named by NEWSWEEK as one of the Top Five Non-Fiction Films of 2002, RAM DASS FIERCE GRACE is an engrossing, poignant meditation on spirituality, consciousness, healing and the unexpected grace of aging.We borrowed the DVD from the library and I loved it so much that I'm buying a copy for myself, knowing that I want to see it many more times. A few parts of the film are on YouTube, but you really need to see the entire film in order to witness and imbibe the love and wisdom of it.
You may know of Ram Dass by his book, Be Here Now, or through stories of his experiments with mind-altering drugs.
You may know that he had a stroke in 1997 - or, as he says, he "got stroked". His right side is paralyzed and he has expressive aphasia, making it so his words don't always come out easily. He works with all of this with strength, patience, authenticity and with... - what word goes beyond humility? I know - selflessness. There is no "Ram Dass, victim of a stroke". There is just the same light and love AND there is a body that works differently than it did at one time.
I have almost every book that Ram Dass has written. I have many tape series that he's done and I've listened to them over and over. I've seen him speak in person. Watching Fierce Grace, I finally allowed the love and service that Ram Dass embodies to enter my heart and change the way I see life. It's absolutely beautiful. (crying as I write this...)
This video is a tiny part of Fierce Grace. I am carried away by Ram Dass' ecstasy. Even though his body is not dancing, his soul is.

Thoughts on a Spring Day in January
could not conceal the rising sun,
so countless ages of conflict and suffering
cannot conceal the innate radiance of Mind.*
Last weekend we went hiking and, at one point, the Buddha dog and I were standing still and waiting for Mr. Carol For Peace to catch up to us (Mr. CFP can be SO slow sometimes!) (Truthfully, he was running to a trash barrel to dispose of some of the Buddha dog's ummmmm... stuff). Anyway, Buddha and I were silently standing among the trees and sun and birds, and I suddenly SENSED THE SPRING THAT EXISTS IN THE WINTER. That can be done easily in late winter as springtime dances in and out, trying to take possession of its place in the changing of seasons. But sensing spring beneath the winter in January... that was a first for me. I really got that while green grass and flowers and wildlife aren't showing their faces, things are brewing beneath the scenes. I could feel it. As I've known all along - but sometimes forget - dormancy doesn't mean vacant, dead, nothing is happening.
As it is so easy to think that winter is just winter, I can find myself focusing on the "countless ages of suffering" and neglecting the "innate radiance of Mind". I never again want to forget to sense the spring of compassion that lies under and within the winter of our hardened ways against the earth and each other.

Jews and Arabs,
offspring of a single father,
separated in youth by jealousy,
in adolescence by fear,
in adulthood by power,
in old age by habit.
It is time to break these habits of hate
and create new habits:
habits of the heart
that will awake within us
the causeless love of redemption and peace.
- Rabbi Rami M. Shapiro
May it be so.

Who I Am
I became quite entranced by this little creature, even deciding that he was now my newest pet (though I never got to the point of naming him). I pondered over just what kind of food he might be interested in and ended up putting in some oats and lettuce, along with a few drops of water for good measure. I also gave him some tissue to climb on and/or eat. He was a fascinating and spunky little guy who could climb to the top of the jar in no time.
I observed the actions of my bug friend frequently until he appeared to die a couple of days later. I figured that bugs don't live for very long, and since I didn't know how old he was when I discovered him, I guessed that he most likely lived a long, full bug life.
Second bug pet
Two days ago, I found another bug just like the first. I found this one on my bedroom wall. I caught it in a jar, just like I did with the first creature, but I figured that one bug was interesting; a second one indicated a pattern that I wasn't sure I liked.
Let me back up and tell you why this bug was so interesting. It looked like this:
The long, skinny part was like a worm, about the thickness of a thread, and it could poke in and out of the tube thing, which was kind of fibrous-looking and about a half an inch long. If I disturbed the bug, the thread-like part would pull back in. It appeared that the long, thread thing was what would cling to and inch up the wall, carrying the tube along with it. Isn't that fascinating??? And weird???
With this second bug, I was more intent on figuring out what kind of animal I was befriending. I did my research and this is what I found:
Clothes moths are major pests of fabric and other items made of natural fibers. Clothes moth larvae commonly feed on wool, feathers, fur, hair, upholstered furniture, animal and fish meals, milk powders, and most animal products, such as bristles, dried hair, and leather. Larvae will also infest or feed on lint, dust, paper, and materials soiled with oil. Clothes moths can feed on mixtures of natural and synthetic fabrics. However, they cannot feed on materials made of synthetic fibers.I had me a clothes moth larva!!!
...The larvae spin a silken tube or case to protect them from the environment and natural enemies.
Suddenly, I didn't find pet #2 to be any fun at all. I didn't put any food in his jar. I didn't give him any tissue. I didn't watch him. He's in that jar still just because I didn't want him to freely roam in my house. And I don't know if he's alive or dead.
I can't stand to kill him.
But, for some reason, I'm okay with letting him starve to death in that jar.
The eeewwwwwww factor is high and I am wondering how many more of these I'll find and what fabrics in my house are being eaten as I type this.
What's even more fascinating than this bug is the process that I go through that lets me decide which life is worth supporting and which life I am willing to let die.
Me = Ms. God
We do give ourselves the power to support life or take it away - with bugs and with all of life. We can decide that we don't like someone's behavior so we put him on death row. We don't like the government or actions of a country - or the fact that they have something that we want - so we starve the people through blockades or trade embargoes. Or we just bomb them to smithereens. Or both!
You may say, Ah, but Carol, this was only a bug and it could be harming your extravagantly expensive designer wool sweater (if I had one). And I'd reply, Ah but Reader, some say, as they justify war, that those are only people with a weird religion and government and they could be harming our extravagantly expensive superior lifestyle.
At what point would I be willing to justify the death of someone else in order to preserve my life or my way of life?
Obviously, eating my clothes is a line you'd better not cross over...

Love IS Having to Say You're Sorry
It's cold and gray today, and I'm staying inside to catch up on reading and writing. Here's the view outside my front door as I write this:
The latest issue of Tikkun (te-kun - to mend, repair, and transform the world) is made up of "Memos to Obama", written by various activists, spiritual leaders, educators, mental health professionals, and probably people from other categories as well.
Reading these memos, I was struck by the eloquent expressions of concern. Some of the subjects addressed were: climate crisis, the economy, education, health care, the Middle East, media reform, and peace.
One memo, in particular, meant a lot to me. It not only hit an emotional nerve, but I realized that, unlike addressing climate change or world peace, this article spoke of a healing action that could be done relatively easy, giving immediate results.
In the memo, Fred Morris makes a plea to Obama:
"Please apologize to and compensate every individual who has been tortured by the United States government, even those found guilty of illegal acts."
Whew! A simple act that we seem to find so hard to do!
Fred Morris was a missionary in Brazil in 1974 when he was kidnapped and tortured. His torturers used the same techniques that we have used at Abu Ghraib and they bragged that they were graduates of our School of the Americas - the combat training school for Latin American soldiers that we have in Ft. Benning, Georgia.
Fortunately, because of political pressure, Morris was released after seventeen days. THIRTY-FOUR YEARS later, he was called to return to Brazil where he, along with twelve others who had also gone through similar experiences, were asked by the Brazilian government for forgiveness. They were also given a lump sum of money and a lifetime pension as compensation for what was done to them.
To date, the Brazilian government has asked for the forgiveness of hundreds of people.
Imagine the U.S. government asking for the forgiveness of each person that we have put through torture. Imagine the goodwill created by that act. As an individual, when I acknowledge my mistakes and make amends, I'm better able to sleep at night. Would our whole country breathe a collective sigh of relief if our government did the same? What would happen if the "grown-ups" of our government modeled the behavior that we try to teach our young people!
Fred Morris requests that Obama create a Truth and Reconciliation Commission and begin the task of asking forgiveness of those we've tortured. I second that. (You can tell Obama about the changes you would like to see by clicking here.)

Found in Dead Rising
Halloween is here next week and in anticipation I've put together the ultimate list for scary games. For extra effect play these by yourself with the lights off, even the oldies will be sure to cause some jumps.
The series that started it all, Alone in the Dark is the first survival horror game released for the PC in 1994. You probably won't be frightened by the pixelated monsters if you can even get the game to run, but Alone in the Dark is a piece of gaming history. If you can't stomach the outdated graphics then you can pickup any one of the multitude of sequels that have been released over the past 10 years, with a new next-gen version slated to be released next year, for next Halloween.
Be the master of unlocking. The original Resident Evil brought B-style horror movies to consoles and marked itself as the greatest source for cheesy live-action FMV quotes. Capcom has ensured that the Resident Evil series maintains a high level of quality making every game in the series worthy of a play through. Resident Evil 4, the most recent game, is hailed as one of the greatest games of all time, even if it moves away from the traditional survival-horror genre into more action based gaming. I still recommend playing through the original. Experience the zombie decapitation, the dogs, the licker just like millions did 10 years ago. Again, if you can't take the outdated graphics, or don't have a working Playstation you can pickup Resident Evil: Remake on the Gamecube which has updated graphics and a bunch of new content.
A cult classic through and through. System Shock drips with atmosphere and defines creepy as you make your way through the game struggling to survive. Played from the first-person, but no first-person shooter, you have to immerse yourself in the world, upgrading yourself and working through mind-bending puzzles. Put your headphones on and play one of the greatest games ever.
Why would someone make a town over Hell? I have no idea, but it makes for some amazing experiences. Every Silent Hill game can stand on its own with each one having a unique cast of fully developed characters, with the common theme of the damned city of Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 is regarded as one of the best in the series featuring an extremely well developed and mature plot that will stay with you for a long time to come. These games aren't about action. Silent Hill is about emotion, and putting everyday people in some very messed up situations as they deal with their own inner demons.
The Fatal Frame series isn't nearly as popular or well-known as the rest of the games mentioned here, but it's definitely among the creepiest. Fatal Frame forgoes the usual tradition of fighting ethereal spirits with everday weapons like shotguns and rocket launchers and forces the characters to use a different kind of weapon: a camera. Scary huh? I think this is one of the first games to use the phrase Based on a true story so that's gotta be worth something. Plus, in Fatal Frame you're actually the one playing the creepy little girl instead of being terrorized by her.
Released for the Xbox 360, Condemned is the sleeper hit that puts CSI in the world of Saw. Play the role of a detective out to catch a serial killer that beats the tar out of a lot of bums. The next-gen visuals and audio make this an especially immersive experience with great voice acting and cutscenes to carry the story along. Hand-to-Hand fighting is brutal as you use the nearest available lead pipe to bash crazed bum's heads in. It's not all hobo-beating as you do regular detective activities such as investigating murder scenes looking for evidence. If you're on the fence about this one, just download the demo as it gives a very good idea on what to expect.
Sometimes you don't want to be scared. Sometimes you just want to dismember, decapitate, destroy and demolish and plow through thousands of undead corpses. Enter Dead Rising. Choose from hundreds of everyday household items like bowling balls and katanas to kill as many zombies as possible. And I think you're supposed to help people and figure out where all the zombies are coming from as well. But the best part is killing them. All of them.

On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
On the Road Theme of Poverty
Poverty seems to be everywhere in the American that Sal sees. He meets homeless men on the side of the road and musicians playing for money. Sal even experiences poverty first hand as he travels. As for poor money management, Sal and his friends display an inability to find any sort of middle ground. Sal is either sending money home to his aunt or asking her for more money.
Questions About Poverty
- Why is Sal so awful at managing his money? What might this reflect about him, or about the Beat Generation that he represents?
- Is there a relationship between poverty and drugs?
- We noticed a lack of a happy medium in Sal's money dealings. He either has a ton of cash and sends money home to his aunt, or doesn't have enough and asks her for money. Are there other examples of this extremes-only lifestyle in the book?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Sal and Dean differ in many ways, but the one thing they have in common is their constant state of poverty. Poverty is a lens through which we can view their friendship.

Really useful infographic here from Dan Zarrella who has done some more research into how we can all get more clicks out of our tweets. He did some research on this last year when he analysed where in a tweet was the best place to put the link.
He's followed that up with research that has identified factors that tend to lead to higher click-through rates on tweeted links.
Some of these include ensuring your tweets hit what is essentially a "goldilocks zone" in terms of ideal length. This means tweets should be between 120 and 130 characters long to get the best result.
They should also, as he said last year, be placed about a quarter of the way through a tweet rather than always at the end. Plenty of things to take away here, but of course, having good content always helps.
"I've often said that the best use of Twitter is as a broadcast medium. You should be creating a ton of interesting content and sharing it with your followers. To that end I've done a bunch of research on how to optimize the clickthrough rate (CTR) of the links you're tweeting.
"For the purposes of this data, I've calculated CTR as the number of clicks on a tweeted link divided by the number of followers the account had when it tweeted that link," Zarrella writes.

David Villa went to Spain's bench, sat down, covered his face and cried. Spain's all-time leading goalscorer knew that was it for his country which he's served so well. He didn't expect it to end like this for Spain, with the world champions eliminated from the World Cup finals in the group stage. Nobody did.
After two defeats, Spain salvaged some pride with a 3-0 victory over Australia in which Villa scored. His goal was one of his party pieces, a glorious back flick after letting the ball run through his legs. Villa loves flicks and tricks and this was an apt 59th and final goal for Spain. He's the country's all-time leading scorer, with his goals coming in 97 appearances.
Australia will be seeing a lot more of Villa for he'll join Melbourne City on loan ahead of another move to New York City, Manchester City's MLS franchise. Villa has been intending to learn English for a decade and is now serious about it. There are not too many people who speak Spanish with an Asturian accent in Melbourne.
Villa wasn't thinking about the future on Monday in Curitiba's Arena da Baixada. When he was reluctantly substituted in the 56th minute, his mood appeared as black as Spain's kit as he left the field slowly, with his eyes down. When he got to the bench he put his head in his hand and began to weep. He was consoled by his team mates.
It was the end of a disappointing tournament for La Roja, an emotional day too and some handled their feelings better than others. Defender Jordi Alba threatened a journalist in the mixed zone and accused him of being "a grass".
The story was Villa, though. He's a legend of Spanish football, the top scorer in Euro 2008, just as he was at all the clubs he played for before joining Barcelona. Villa was a fan favourite at his local club Sporting Gijon, at Zaragoza and at Valencia before his huge €40 million transfer to play alongside Lionel Messi. He was one of the best players as Barça beat Manchester United in the 2011 Champions League final and is treated like a hero whenever he returns home.
"I'm Asturian, a Sporting (Gijon) fan," he said. "I'd watch them play in the stadium with my father when I was 12, 13, 14. I sang the Sporting anthem and loved the rivalry with Real Oviedo, our big derby. When I was older, Oviedo did not think I would be good enough to play here."
Villa followed Luis Enrique and Quini as Sporting heroes who joined Barça, but he never forgot his roots. While other Spanish players celebrated their 2010 World Cup win in the nation's finest bars and restaurants, Villa went home.
"There's a penya (supporters' club) in my village (the former mining village of Tuilla, population 1,491) and I went there," he said. "They were really happy, not just because I'd won the World Cup, but because I waved a scarf of CD Tuilla, the football team from my village, on the pitch in South Africa. I had some of the local cider with friends, a little too much maybe."
Known as El Guaje ('the kid' in his native Asturian brogue), which now seems a misnomer. Though when I interviewed him last season and described him as 'veteran Spanish striker', the word needed some clarification by the Villa camp. Was I inferring that he was past it at 32? When his English gets up to scratch he'll realise that 'veteran' is no slur.
When he didn't go home, he got away from football by going to Ibiza with his family and the family of his close friend Pepe Reina. Villa would take a budget airline to Liverpool to see Reina once a year at Christmas when the Spanish league had a break. Of one visit, he said: "We celebrated New Year's Eve in their house and then I watched Liverpool v Bolton the next day. The game started in the morning which was unusual.
"Liverpool won 3-0 and Gerrard – great player - scored. It was cold but I liked it. The atmosphere was sensational. Some people recognised me but not many. We were going to visit the Beatles museum but went for a pizza instead!"
Villa was viewed as a striker's striker, a classic '9' but he claimed he was happy playing more on the left at Barcelona.
His magnificent Spain career ended bleakly in a provincial Brazil on Monday. He didn't realise his dream of playing in Rio's Maracana and never again will he wear the red of Spain and hear "Villa, Villa, Villa; Villa maravilla" – 'Villa, the marvellous' - from the stands. Players seldom get to choose their ending in football, not even the greats like David Villa.

Rumor has it that even Lane Kiffin may attend, with his dad Monte in his final home game as the defensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining his son at the University of Tennessee.
The only thing missing when the Raiders visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium Sunday will be the man responsible for bringing them all to Oakland _ Al Davis.
Davis, with leg and ankle problems, has heeded the warnings of his physicians, did not make the trip, and reconsidered the idea of taking a private plane Saturday, Raiders executive John Herrera confirmed.
"The doctors told him it's probably not the best thing to spend 10 or 12 hours in the air," Herrera said, referring to the roundtrip from Oakland to Tampa.
Herrera said he believes the only time Davis ever missed a game was when his wife Carole was hospitalized in 1979 following a heart attack.
Davis moved into the hospital for more than two weeks until she came out of a coma and recovered.
Other than that, Davis is not believed to have missed a Raiders games since joining the organization in 1963.
Davis, Herrera said, contemplated arranging for a private flight but listened to doctors who didn't want him to impede his recovery from swelling in the right knee and ankle.
Following the San Diego game on Dec.
Herrera said Davis is fine and in good spirits.
"I can't emphasize this enough. He's feeling good. He wanted to make the trip and expected to make the trip, but the decision was made that it was not a good idea because of his knee and ankle," Herrera said. "He was a little ticked off that he didn't make the trip, but he knew he'd better listen to what the doctor said."

Consolidation of Iraqi Security Forces Is Enormous Task
By Gina Chon
In the next three months, the Iraqi government plans to completely absorb the approximately 100,000 informal security personnel known as the Sons of Iraq, many of whom were former insurgents. They decided to stop fighting the U.S. and Iraqi security forces about two years ago and last August, efforts began to incorporate them into the government. The Sons of Iraq, or SOIs, have been a key factor in improving security in Iraq and the acceptance of them by the Iraqi government is seen as a symbol of national reconciliation.
But it's an enormous task, particularly because only 3,000 have been vetted so far to become part of the Iraqi military or police, according to U.S. Army Major General Michael Ferriter. Still, Mr. Ferriter said at a press conference today that he was satisfied with the pace of the transition considering the many concerns that were raised when it was first decided that the SOIs would move from U.S. military to Iraqi government control. Because many of the SOIs are Sunnis, they feared that they would be targeted once they were transitioned to the Iraqi government, which is dominated by Shiites.
"That didn't occur so it's expected that things are moving at a measured pace," Mr. Ferriter said.
Of the 100,000 SOIs, about 20% are supposed to become members of the Iraqi security forces, while the remaining 80% are to find employment in the civil sector, mainly in vocational technical work. The Iraqi government began paying the $300 a month salary for SOI members at the end of last year, and will take over payments for all 100,000 SOIs by April this year. That lifts a burden from the U.S. military, which will receive decreasing financial support for such efforts in Iraq as the focus shifts to Afghanistan and the financial crisis in America.
Both the U.S. military and the Iraqi government are watching the SOI transition closely, because neither of them want 100,000 armed people without jobs on their hands. But the Iraqi government is also being careful of who it hires, noting some SOI members have blood-stained hands from their time in the insurgency. When asked about the loyalty of some SOI members given their past, Zuhair Chalabi, who is part of the government's national reconciliation committee, gave a pragmatic answer. He noted that absorption of 100,000 SOI members was a chaotic process, but it was necessary for national reconciliation.
"They (the SOIs) will be loyal to whoever pays them," Mr. Chalabi said as many reporters chuckled. "We are working on administering chaos so this is chaos control."

I had a double mastectomy and have opted not to wear any prothstetic devices at this time. What clothing would be good for me with my boyish chest?LREAD MORE
Lee, take this with a grain of salt, because I don't think I have the best fdashion sense in the world. But it depends on what kind of statement you want to make. If you want to blend in, I'd suggest a camisole or T-shirt with a loose-fitting over-blouse - you know, like a button-down-the-front Hawaiian-type shirt. Not necessarily those colors, but the loose fit. Or in colder weather, turtleneck or other first layer, + bulky or loose-fitting sweater. On the other hand, if you want to make a statement—"I've had breast cancer and a double mastectomy and I think I look great!"—wear whatever you think makes you look the best.
FYI, I understand Lands End has the best bathing suits for women who've had a mastectomy without reconstruction...
Good luck - PJH
Hi Lee,
I had a single mastectomy and don't wear a prosthesis. Check out the Rebel 1 in 8 clothing line:
On Jacqueline (the designer's) personal blog she also has links to ideas on how to "clothe yourself"
I have purchased several items from Jacqueline. Here is a link to a post she wrote on renovating some sweaters for me (she no longer offers this service)
Good luck, have fun and do stay in touch!
I came across some info from links I've saved over the years since my first cancer in 2005, and it's recurrence this past March.
There is a line of clothing by Hilary Boyajian's called the Chikara line. It was in part inspired by the message of a nonprofit org whose mission is to help female survivors improve their self image and quality of life.
You can find this line at either Shop Well with You or Chikara Design.
The fashion industry has recongnized the need for high fashion, functional, flattering clothing dedicated to breast cancer survivors.
Hopefully you can find items there fitting to your style, and not feel like you must wear boxy cuts or men's style clothing. I have found some great designs that appear to disguise the abscence of breast quite well.
Good luck!

Irving v. Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Transcripts, Day 11: Electronic Edition
Pages 46 - 50 of 205
|<< 1-5
|< 41-45
|51-55 >
|201-205 >>
1 MR IRVING: Is that the only change made on this deck plan?
2 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] There are two other changes, I already indicated. A
3second important change is that stair going down. Now,
4why would the -- why was the slide in this original
5entrance removed and why was the stairs moved to the other
7 Q. [Mr Irving] Are you saying that the slide was permanently removed and
8there was never any slide left there?
9 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] There is a problem because Tauber at certain moments
10mentions a slide in his testimony. The big problem with
11-- the question is, and this is a problematic point in
12Tauber's testimony because we know that the sonderkommando
13of No. (ii) and No. (iii) were able to basically make use
14of those buildings, that when there were no gassings
15taking place, that these two compounds were in connection
16because some of the facilities used by the sonderkommando
17No. (ii) were in No. (iii) and in No. (iii) that slide is
18still there. The slide was actually constructed.
19 To what extent actually he was in his testimony,
20I mean, the assumption in his testimony in German is that
21he talks about two, but if he introduces that, if he
22describes the subterranean level, if he actually describes
23something he saw in No. (iii) which is identical except
24for the fact that left and right are reversed, and it is
25particularly detail of the slide, it is very difficult to,
26you know, actually get a real handle on that. One of the
1buildings has a slide, the other buildings does not have a
3 Q. [Mr Irving] Just to be perfectly plain, the entrance which is moved to
4the street side of the building did not have a slide, did
6 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] No. The entrance which is -- this other entrance does not
7have a slide.
8 Q. [Mr Irving] Would it not be a reasonable inference that the architects
9had decided that, being good architects, they ought to
10design a building where people had ways of getting in
11there where they might not have to mingle with corpses
12going in?
13 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Can you repeat that?
14 Q. [Mr Irving] They decided that they need, for matters of taste and
15decency, to have a clean side of the building where people
16could go in without having to jostle with corpses that
17might be infected going down the steps and they decided,
18therefore, for pure hygiene reasons to move the staircase?
19 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] That would be perfectly -- that would be perfectly fine.
20The problem is how do you get then the corpses into the
21building, because this corpse access seemed to have been
22removed. So what we have here is that there is no way any
23more to get corpses into this building, according to this
24drawing, and that the only way to get corpses into the
25build is that a staircase which has been narrowed to such
26an extent that it is certainly very difficult to carry a
1stretcher inside.
2 I also want to point out to you that in the
3original design -- sorry again -- there was enough space
4either when you slide the corpse downstairs or when two
5men are carrying the stretcher, there is not enough space
6for you to turn around. However, here, this turn around,
7I mean, first of all, it is much narrower, as you see. We
8are talking here about one metre width of, I think one
9meter 60, one metre 80, there is much less space actually
10for two people actually carrying a stretcher, there is no
11slide at all. Then we get the problem actually of turning
12here. It gets very, very tight.
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: So do you deduce from that that it is live
14people who are going to go down to that morgue?
15 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Yes.
16 MR IRVING: But is there not also an elevator or a hoist being
17installed which, we are told, is capable of carrying large
18numbers of bodies from the basement up to the furnaces?
19Could that elevator not also have been used to carry them
20down in the first place?
21 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Ah, yes, but the problem is how do you get them in that
22space? I mean, I am happy to go back to the original
23ground plan which we -- my Lord, do you want me to go back
24to the original ground plan?
25 Q. [Mr Irving] The elevator is just next to your shoulder on that design
26and there appears to be a lot of space in front of it.
1 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Sorry.
2 Q. [Mr Irving] The elevator is just next to your shoulder, is it not?
3 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Yes, but if you bring down the corpses by the elevator,
4and I will go down because again it is an important issue
5you raise and an important alternative explanation.
6 Q. [Mr Irving] A plausible alternative, and you have not established ----
7 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] The problem of the plausible alternative in this case is
8that the elevator is here. Now, the only entrance we have
9now, the only way to get to the elevator, is to go through
10the entrance here, right next to the dissection room. Go
11through the foreground, go now into the washing room for
12the corpses and then turn around into the elevator.
13 This elevator was meant to give direct access to
14the washing room. When a corpse comes up, it can be
15washed and dissected. But I would say that this is an
16extremely, and especially these doors here -- I mean, how
17do you actually -- these doors are not wide enough, these
18are not double doors which you get in the original design
19right here. This is a double door. So again, stretcher,
20two people carrying it, four people carrying it, there is
21enough width here for them all to go down.
22 But this is a very, very awkward way to get
23corpses actually in and then down in the elevator. The
24alternative is that you have to go, there is no direct
25entrance into the incineration room. The alternative is
26to go through this door, through this door, walk over the
1coke supply between the incinerators and go to that
2elevator. Or the third possibility is to -- no, that is
3actually it. That is it.
4 Q. [Mr Irving] Your evidence for saying that there was no corpse slide in
5the building as built is?
6 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] It is not in the drawing. In this drawing and it does not
7seem to be there. So, I mean, I can see it, well, I can
8still see it in crematorium (iii).
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: What would it have been made of? Metal?
10 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] The corpse slide?
11 MR IRVING: No, a concrete slide.
12 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Concrete.
13 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Just a concrete slide?
14 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] Yes.
15 MR IRVING: So there is no evidence there was something in the
16building now and it was never there -- Mr Rampton, I am
17asking the questions here.
18 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] We have a blueprint. We have the remains of the building.
19 Q. [Mr Irving] Will you answer my question? There is no evidence that
20there is something in the building now and it was never
22 A. [Professor Robert Jan van Pelt] No, and I have not seen any evidence. The only evidence
23there is -- let me be more precise. There is evidence in
24Tauber. Tauber says there is a corpse slide. But I have
25addressed this problem already as a problem in the
26testimony, that I think he refers back to the corpse slide

MTV Cancels 'Buckwild' After Star's Death
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:17 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 11:17 a.m.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. | MTV says it's canceling the West Virginia-based reality TV show "Buckwild" after the accidental death of 21-year-old star Shain Gandee.
Network spokesman Jake Urbanski confirmed the decision Wednesday.
Gandee, an uncle and a friend were found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning April 1. Gandee's SUV was stuck in a mud pit near his Sissonville home, its tail pipe submerged. That could have allowed the invisible gas to fill the vehicle's cabin.
Gandee was buried Sunday after a service in Charleston that drew hundreds of friends, family and fans.
Shain Gandee, nicknamed "Gandee Candy" by fans, was a breakout star of the show that followed the antics of young friends enjoying their wild, country lifestyle.
Season one was filmed last year, mostly around Sissonville and Charleston.
Shooting of season two was under way.

Foundation Board of DirectorsThe LCS Foundation is a team of parent volunteers that focuses primarily on fundraising, grants, and donations to augment and support LCS and its needs above and beyond what is provided through the State's PPR (per pupil revenue). This team, which functions much like a PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) at a traditional school, helps to organize and pursue grants, donations and fundraisers, as well as identify and coordinate community outreach and partnership opportunities. Major activities include the annual Fall Craft Bazaar and Chili Cook-Off, Foundation Benefit Auction, King Soopers and Safeway reloadable gift cards, LCS merchandise and various other activities. The Foundation works with the Board of Directors and LCS Staff and Administration to determine needs and price points, then prioritizes, plans, fundraises, and implements ideas at the school.

It hasn't been long since Appletell reported that AT&T was starting to take away privileges from users who are illegally tethering their smartphones without the carrier consent. AT&T says users who continue to violate the data policy will automatically be switched to the appropriate plan if they continue their behavior of tethering without paying up for that service.
AT&T now automatically puts jailbroken tetherers onto its data tethering plan that starts at $45 a month. AT&T isn't the only carrier in town that's taking a hard stance against free tethering. News has started to appear around the Internet that Verizon is battling alongside AT&T to stop unofficial tethering. Verizon Wireless wants to crack down on folks who perform illegal tethering on their devices—if you happen to fall under that category of using apps to help you "tether illegally," then you might want to sit up and take notice. Verizon will now show a warning page when it catches a user tethering without paying, and provides a number to call to set up a mobile broadband package.
Looking at the bright side of things, for now Verizon is not threatening to take away unlimited data plans, but only redirect them to their website to force users to update to a $20 monthly plan that is much cheaper than the AT&T charging rate. Until now, tethering hasn't been much of a threat on the Verizon network. However, that doesn't mean users should push their luck with Verizon, because it wouldn't surprise us if sometime this year Verizon jumps on board with that same program as AT&T.
It would be interesting to see how subscribers will react to this situation. Will it stop you from tethering or find other ways to avoid detection?
