Do physicists need myths?74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2178843View Description Hide Description
In textbooks and popular writings physicists repeat familiar stories about the history of physics that historians have long identified as myths. Examples of remarks about Galileo and Aristotle are used to illustrate this practice. These examples lead to a discussion of several reasons why these myths might play a positive role for physicists and whether physicists can dispense with myths about the history of their field.
Negative Coulomb damping, limit cycles, and self-oscillation of the vocal folds74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2173272View Description Hide Description
An effective one-mass model of phonation is developed. It borrows the salient features of the classic two-mass model of human speech developed by Ishizaka, Matsudaira, and Flanagan. Their model is based on the idea that the oscillating vocal folds maintain their motion by deriving energy from the flow of air through the glottis. We argue that the essence of the action of the aerodynamic forces on the vocal folds is captured by negative Coulomb damping, which acts on the oscillator to energize it. A viscous force is added to include the effects of tissue damping. The solutions to this single oscillator model show that when it is excited by negative Coulomb damping, it will reach a limit cycle. Displacements, phase portraits, and energy histories are presented for two underdamped linear oscillators. A nonlinear force is added so that the variations of the fundamental frequency and the open quotient with lungpressure are comparable to the behavior of the two-mass model.
Confined one-dimensional harmonic oscillator as a two-mode system74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2173270View Description Hide Description
The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a box is possibly the simplest example of a two-mode system. This system has two exactly solvable limits, the harmonic oscillator and a particle in a (one-dimensional) box. Each of the limits has a characteristic spectral structure describing the two different excitation modes of the system. Near these limits perturbation theory can be used to find an accurate description of the eigenstates. Away from the limits it is necessary to do a matrix diagonalization because the basis-state mixing that occurs is typically large. An alternative to formulating the problem in terms of one or the other basis set is to use an "oblique" basis that uses both sets. We study this alternative for the example system and then discuss the applicability of this approach for more complex systems, such as the study of complex nuclei where oblique-basis calculations have been successful.
Using classical probability functions to illuminate the relation between classical and quantum physics74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2173280View Description Hide Description
The classical and quantum mechanical solutions to three simple physical systems are directly compared by using the classical equations of motion to determine a probability density function. This function is compared to the probability density function for the quantum mechanical stationary state with the same energy. The nonclassical behavior of the quantum mechanical systems is thus made more distinct. This comparison allows students to gain experience using probability functions to describe physical systems and to see how the quantum mechanical solutions reduce to classical behavior in the high-energy/short-wavelength limit.
Revisiting elementary quantum mechanics with the BenDaniel-Duke boundary condition74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2174031View Description Hide Description
The past decade has seen an upsurge of interest in quantum dots and nanostructures. These are essentially structures of size . We discuss a simplified model of a quantum dot in which we employ the effective mass approximation and the BenDaniel-Duke boundary condition. The latter accounts for the fact that the effective carrier mass inside the well, , is different from the mass outside, . The energies and the charge distributions in the nanostructure are determined by the mass discontinuity factor . The charge density at the interface becomes larger as . We propose a novel quantum scale , where is the barrier height and is the well size. The scale represents a mass modified potential strength. An asymptotic analysis shows that the charge densities and energies of the carrier depend simply on . We also propose a definition of the penetration depth analogous to the one proposed by Garrett. Our study of tunneling reveals that the one-dimensional analog of the Ramsauer-Townsend resonances becomes increasingly sharp and well defined as .
A simple, low-cost demonstration of wavelength division multiplexing74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2180284View Description Hide Description
Optics and photonics can be used to motivate students in physics courses at the high school, college, or university level. Many fundamental ideas and concepts can be taught by exploring wavelength division multiplexing as used in optical fiber communication systems. We describe a safe, simple, low-cost experimental apparatus that can be used to demonstrate the key concepts of wavelength division multiplexing. The apparatus can form the basis of several hands-on, active-learning activities.
New features of the Franck-Hertz experiment74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2174033View Description Hide Description
The fundamental properties of the signal structure in Franck-Hertz experiments are analyzed. The central result is that the spacings between the minima in Franck-Hertz curves are not equidistant but increase linearly with the number of minima. This increase is especially pronounced at low atomic pressure. We suggest that the increase of the spacings is caused by the additional acceleration of electrons over their mean free path after the excitation energy is reached. Our model accurately estimates the lowest excitation energies of mercury and neon atoms and the mean free path of electrons in standard Franck-Hertz experiments. These results contradict the usual assumption that the spacings between successive minima or maxima are equal. We demonstrate that a standard Franck-Hertz apparatus can be upgraded to do more advanced experiments.
Transient behavior of the driven RLC circuit74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2174032View Description Hide Description
In introductory physics the series RLC circuit usually is discussed in the context of the discharging underdamped circuit or the ac-driven circuit. The connection to a dc battery by a switch typically is neglected. A detailed investigation of the transient behavior of the dc-driven underdamped RLC circuit reveals a response with many interesting features, including a potential difference across the inductor that can have the same polarity as that of the battery and a potential difference across the capacitor that can exceed the magnitude of the potential difference from the battery. The circuit provides a wide range of laboratory problems, demonstrations, and theoretical and computational activities. A mechanical analogy using a mass-spring system to demonstrate the qualitative response of the capacitor's potential difference is described.
Unified derivation of Johnson and shot noise expressions74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2174034View Description Hide Description
Shot noise and Johnson noise in electrical circuits are usually introduced by referring to completely separate physical models and derivations. We derive Johnson and shot noise expressions from the same physical model, an ideal tunnel junction, to show the deep connection between the two types of noise. The derivation uses concepts of quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and signal processing.
Scaling laws at the critical point74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2173273View Description Hide Description
There are two independent critical exponents that describe the behavior of systems near their critical point. However, at the critical point only the exponent , which describes the decay of the correlation function, is usually discussed. We emphasize that there is a second independent exponent that describes the decay of the fourth-order correlation function. The exponent is related to the exponents determining the behavior of thermodynamic functions near criticality via a fluctuation-response equation for the specific heat. We also discuss a scaling law for .
Nanotechnology and Society: A discussion-based undergraduate course74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2178845View Description Hide Description
Nanotechnology has emerged as a broad, exciting, yet ill-defined field of scientific research and technological innovation. There are important questions about the technology's potential economic, social, and environmental implications. We discuss an undergraduate course on nanoscience and nanotechnology for students from a wide range of disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, the humanities, and engineering. The course explores these questions and the broader place of technology in contemporary societies. The course is built around active learning methods and seeks to develop the students' critical thinking skills, written and verbal communication abilities, and general knowledge of nanoscience and nanoengineering concepts. Continuous assessment was used to gain information about the effectiveness of class discussions and enhancement of student understanding of the interaction between nanotechnology and society.

Testing the test: Item response curves and test quality74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2174053View Description Hide Description
We present a simple technique for evaluating multiple-choice questions and their answers beyond the usual measures of difficulty and the effectiveness of distractors. The technique involves the construction and qualitative consideration of item response curves and is based on item response theory from the field of education measurement. To demonstrate the technique, we apply item response curve analysis to three questions from the Force Concept Inventory. Item response curve analysis allows us to characterize qualitatively whether these questions are efficient, where efficient is defined in terms of the construction, performance, and discrimination of a question and its answer choices. This technique can be used to develop future multiple-choice examination questions and a better understanding of results from existing diagnostic instruments.

Comments on the motion of magnetic field lines74(2006); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.2180285View Description Hide Description
Belcher and Olbert recently showed that the concept of the motion of magnetic fieldlines can be helpful in teaching classical electromagnetism. Although this concept holds in many situations, it has important limitations. It is shown that the most common definition, , which is the one used by Belcher and Olbert, is not appropriate when an electrostatic field is present, unless the field satisfies special conditions. In an infinitely conducting medium where the electric field has no component parallel to the magnetic field, is still a meaningful definition of the motion of magnetic fieldlines (which follow the plasma motion as if "frozen-in"). It used to be assumed that space plasmas could be treated as infinitely conducting and therefore the concept of magnetic fieldlinemotion was used extensively. But local nonvanishing values of can "cut" magnetic fieldlines and invalidate the frozen-in condition.

Johnson back to Chelsea
Great, more wasting money, next we will sell Mancienne to someone like Wolves, then buy him back next year for 25 million, my club are messing too much.What has happenrd to the idea of lowering the age of the squad?. At least the Gooner's are trying the youngsters out, and they are'nt to far behind.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
if chelsea sells bosingwa and buys johnson, that would be madness.cchelsea may buy johnson, but to sell bosingwa....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
i be suprised if chelsea buy him back when there are so many good backs out thereand also his record not good chelsea have had enough bad boys dont need anymore thanks so no deal glen get another one from somewhere else and who can be told what to do he had one good season dont make a great player
what the hell is going on with my favourite club, CHELSEA..Are they mad? I really think that resign Johnson is not a good idea...cuz, he is the most unconsisten player in CHELSEA team before this, and also for portsmouth. Bosingwa is still the best right back defender for us eventhough he make a little mistake...I really hope CHELSEA will not follow Carlo Ancelotti decision to sign Johnson, cuz it is waste of money...but i really hope that pato rumor signing will be true...RIbery? Naaa... I don't think he will come to us...

At least they have recovered him, and boy is he pretty decent or what. I think Chelsea are suddenly signing all these english players (Sturridge, Johnson and possibly Ashley Young) to prepare them for when 6+5 becomes law. I don't think they would be signing Sturridge or Johnson otherwise. They need to be able to start 6 English players without having it affect the quality of the first team. If they can sign Young and Johnson, they would have achieved that objective.
I think they will make Stoch, di Santo and Mancienne stick around for use in the Carling Cup, while the stars are the oness playing week in, week out. It seems like Ancelotti might actually use a youth policy that can benefit the team.
the reason Johnson looks like he is playing well, is cause he plays for Portsmouth who to be far are not that good!!

i don't understand why the hell we're selling bosingwa in the first place... he's a right-sided version of ash, and just as world class... and johnson is an over-rated muppet you couldn't defend a barracks against a 5 year-old kid with a water-pistol...
whoevers idea this transfer is, has completely lost the plot

I dont see chelsea selling bosingwa, he'sperfect. as said he's same as cole. its the very last position chelsea need to buy in. we have 5 players that can play there.
this would be the worst signing in the history of the club if it happens.
a young left back to help cover for a.cole should be purchased.
I hear ross turnbull is going to get bought as backup to cech. I like that, sounds good idea.

With the holiday season right around the corner, there is a lot of chit chat around the office about what everyone does for the holidays. It's really interesting to hear everyone's answers. Some are excited to be spending time with their families (some dreading it), others excited for their new family's first visit from Santa, and others deciding whether Santa will ever visit to their house or not.
For people my age, the question isn't really if Santa will come but it's what they will do for the holidays now that they don't live with their parents. Being in your early twenties and starting life after college really holds so many changes in life. All of this got me thinking that this is the first time RP and I have spent the holidays together in our own place, not as students (for some reason being a student changes everything- maybe it's that entire month off). It will be the first time we decorate and get a Christmas tree. It's an exciting time and hopefully the start of some new traditions.
Traditions are a big part of my family and our holiday celebrations. We have some pretty kooky ones like singing the hokey pokey around the tree on Christmas eve with our extended family and our close friends that might as well be family. Many of my family's traditions were kept on or brought to life by my little sister who is 10 years younger than me and 7 years younger than my brother. Things like reading the Twas the Night Before Christmas pop up book before bed on Christmas eve or getting a present on a siblings birthday for being "a good big sister" were a part of our family for a long time.
Right now I am at a point in my life where I will be embracing old traditions but also forming new traditions. It is strange to think about. Do traditions just happen spontaneously? Do you decide that you'll do something every year? I guess each person takes their favorite traditions or parts of them and carries them throughout their life. Traditions can change depending on who you are with or where you are and sometimes your friends traditions then become yours. In our own ways, we carry on these cherished memories while forming new ones.
What are your favorite traditions for the holidays or special occasions? Have you ever found yourself at a point where you were forming a new set of traditions?

MONCTON, N.B. - The parent company of Irving Oil is calling for a regional energy transmission system in Eastern Canada and up to $2 billion of associated new infrastructure.
Fort Reliance said today it has also formed a new joint venture company, Portage Energy Ltd., to help to achieve those goals.
Portage will work to attract private and public sector partners and investors to jointly develop $1 billion to $2 billion of transmission infrastructure for a shared system.
Fort Reliance says the aim is to maximize economic and environmental performance across provincial and potentially international boundaries.
The company's Kenneth Irving adds that the idea will only be successful if governments, communities and energy companies in the region "believe this is a worthwhile initiative."
Fort Reliance says the new system would lower energy costs, improve carbon emissions performance and facilitate economic development.

I was sending them 45.00 a month well to my surprise I get a garnishment on my checking account. Which held the balance of my Social Security check. The bank charged me 100.00 for handling the garnishment. gave Morgan & Pottinger 125.00 (my grocery money for the balance of the month) and then the bank charged me 35.00 for each check they bounced due to overdraft. Well I find that you cannot garnishee Social security funds. so the bank refunded my money but not Morgan and Pottinger. Which by law I could have sued.
Now today they have called again they call and harass me on a regular weekly basis. I now only pay with a money order they will never have access to my social security funds again. NOTICE: if you pay them do it with a money order only never with a check with an account number. This organization are shysters!

A new report into the fate of the settlers evacuated from Gaza has accused successive Israeli governments of "absolute and complete failure" in dealing with them.
The state commission inquiry showed that 70 per cent of the settlers, who were forced to leave their Gush Katif homes during the Gaza withdrawal in 2005, have still not been found permanent homes. A large majority of those 9,000 who were removed from Gaza have still not been properly compensated and are currently living in temporary dwellings.
Israeli cabinet ministers have met to discuss relaxing the blockade of Gaza.
Members of the security cabinet are looking into allowing around 100 more goods into Gaza.
The meeting has been adjourned and will reconvene later with an announcement expected soon. It comes after the decision earlier in June to ease the blockade by allowing in provisions including Coca Cola, shaving cream and spices.
An Israeli soldier is expected to be charged with manslaughter for the deaths of two people in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.
If the case goes ahead this will be the third time a soldier has gone on trial for offences during the January 2009 incursion.
IDF investigators have said they suspeect that the soldier, from the Givati regiment, broke Israel's rules of engagement in firing at two Palestinian women.
A 35-year-old woman and her mother were killed as a result of the shooting, which was mentioned in the UN's Goldstone report.
"The only good thing that one can say about Gaza is that once inside that open prison - for that is what it is - is that there is no harassment from Israeli soldiers or settlers. It's a very minor improvement however…
..."Legitimate criticism of the Israeli Government IS NOT anti Semitism, it is criticism of the Israeli Government. Period!!!!"
What is the real situation in Gaza? I will try to give you a taste of what it is like to live as a journalist here.
Every morning when I wake up I hope that there will be electricity. If there is none, I cannot surf the internet or watch TV - and just as bad, I cannot iron clean clothes. This morning, for example, there was none. My wife told me: "There is no choice, just wear what you wore yesterday".
Gilad Shalit's father has said his son's captivity is the obstacle preventing Gaza from overcoming "economic chokehold".
Noam Shalit said that if Hamas were to agree a deal to release the soldier, kidnapped nearly four years ago, it would encourage Israel to lift the blockade of Gaza.
He told a Jerusalem conference that the continued imprisonment of the soldier for the purpose of bargaining and political blackmail "is a grave war crime".
Calling on Hamas to release him, Mr Shalit said: "This will allow for rebuilding the ruins in Gaza in wake of Operation Cast Lead."
Israel has relaxed the blockade of Gaza to permit more provisions into the area.
Officials said the list of items allowed into the Gaza Strip has been expanded to include goods from Coca Cola to shaving cream and spices.
There has been international pressure for Israel to lift the blockade following the raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying supplies.
The blockade has been in place since Hamas won power in the Gaza Strip in 2007.
Egypt had also closed its borders to Gaza, although restrictions have been lifted temporarily in the aftermath of the flotilla clash.
Tony Blair has said in an interview that Israel has the right to check supplies that are sent into Gaza.
Speaking on Israeli television, the former British prime minister and Middle East Quartet envoy said the Gaza blockade should be lifted but "when it comes to security, I am one hundred per cent on Israel's side."
Mr Blair added: "There's no question that there are rockets fired from Gaza and that there are people in Gaza who want to kill innocent Israelis.
"Israel has the right to inspect what goes into Gaza."
The British government has pledged to give £19 million in aid to Gaza and called on Israel to end the blockade.
Andrew Mitchell, the International Development Secretary, said the money is to go towards services including education and healthcare.
The donation is part of a £100 million financial deal with the UN Relief and Works Agency, which the Labour government arranged in 2006.
The announcement follows a second attempt by pro-Palestinian activists to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza, which has been in place since Hamas gained control of the area in 2007.
More than 60 MPs, including Hampstead and Kilburn MP Glenda Jackson, have signed an early day motion, criticising Israel's blockade of Gaza.
The EDM, tabled by Birmingham Northfield MP, Richard Burden, chair of the Britain Palestine All-Party Parliamentary Group, demands a "prompt, impartial, credible and transparent investigation" of the flotilla incident and claims that the blockade has "destroyed the economy of Gaza and deepened poverty".
It also claims that Israel imposes "collective punishment" on the people of Gaza and states its actions are illegal.

Women's Soccer Competes in Outdoor Tournaments
The Pratt Community College women's soccer team competed in two 6v6-style outdoor tournaments on April 12 and 13 as part of their off season training.
On Saturday, the team played at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kan. Pratt defeated Tabor College 5-4, fell to Southwestern Oklahoma College 8-5, and also fell to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M, 5-4.
"The team played well and some individual efforts were quite impressive," said Head Coach Jerrid Schicke. "All and all, goalkeeping was the difference as Pratt was using third string goalkeepers due to injuries. Offensively, it was an outstanding day for our girls."
On Sunday, the team traveled to McPherson College in McPherson, Kan. Pratt was defeated by McPherson 4-1, Emporia State 8-4, and Garden City Community College 5-2.
"Weary legs from Saturdays competition seemed to hinder the team from having the strength needed to outlast opponents," said Schicke. "Competition was strong and the team performed well considering shifting winds and rapidly decreasing temperatures throughout the day."
The team will play for the last time this spring on April 23 at Central Christian College in McPherson.

Salmonella (cont.)
Diagnosis of Salmonella Infection
Many cases are first suspected when a physician or public-health official recognizes a group of patients who ate food from a similar source have developed fever and diarrhea. The definitive diagnosis of all Salmonella infections is based on culture of the organisms from the patient and occasionally from a source (for example, food or water). In most cases, the feces of the patient is cultured on agar media that is selective for Salmonella spp. Unfortunately, these culture results can take three to seven days to obtain. Although rapid tests such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that detect the genetic material of the bacteria have been attempted, PCR does not seem sensitive enough to detect the organisms in feces. Investigators suggest that the sensitivity of PCR is good when performed on a blood sample rather than feces, but this test is not widely available. Blood cultures are sometimes done in patients suspected of having typhoid and paratyphoid fevers. They are positive in about more than half of these patients. Culture results, when positive, help the physician to differentiate Salmonella infections from other organisms or infections that may have similar initial symptoms (for example, E. coli, Campylobacter, shigellosis, brucellosis, amebic dysentery, botulism). Often rectal or fecal exams are done to determine if the patient has blood in the feces. Many physicians will empirically treat patients with antibiotics if they show blood in the feces because some physicians consider the infection more likely to be caused by an aggressive bacterial agent. If the patient's infection is severe, other ancillary tests may be done (CT scan, ultrasound, CBC count, liver function tests, biopsy) to help determine the extent of the infection.

Padres sure could use arm like Arizona ace's
Have a question for Tim?Tim Sullivan Mailbag
PHOENIX Dan Haren dominates through disruption. He doesn't overpower hitters so much as he frustrates them, throwing off their timing and messing with their minds.
Arizona's ace retired 19 of the first 20 Padres he faced yesterday afternoon without benefit of a fire-breathing fastball or a knee-buckling curve. He mesmerized Kyle Blanks with the hypnotic pause in his delivery and caused Chase Headley to abandon his standard approach with unrelenting strikes.
He did what baseball's best pitchers have always done — what Jake Peavy used to do on Padres' Opening Days — by creating jock-itch-quality discomfort in the batter's box. He reminded you of the timeless value of pedigree at the top of the pitching rotation.
The search for sweeping truth is pretty silly after 1/162nd of a major-league baseball season, yet the Diamondbacks' season-starting 6-3 victory reinforced the notion that one of the National League West's bottom-dwellers has an elite starting pitcher and the other does not.
Perhaps that conclusion is premature — a healthy Chris Young is a formidable fellow and 22-year-old Mat Latos has the stuff, if not the seasoning — but it's hard to imagine the Padres as contenders until a stopper emerges.
Those teams that are still playing in October typically have at least one starter who is a legitimate stud. With all due respect for Jon Garland, the game workhorse who started the Padres' opener does not fit that key profile.
Garland deserved better than four unearned runs and the freakish inside-the-park home run he allowed yesterday, and he may fare better if his curveball regains its customary bite outside of arid Arizona. Still, it's been five years since the 30-year-old right-hander finished a season with an earned-run average below 4.00 and 66 starts since his last complete-game shutout.
The Padres are looking to him for innings rather than inspiration.
They look at Dan Haren, and see a three-time All-Star with scintillating stuff. They see a guy who rarely exceeds 92 mph, but who has nonetheless led baseball in quality starts (six innings or more; three earned runs or less) since 2005.
"With his kind of stuff, it's going to be a grind," said Tony Gwynn The Younger. "It's going to be a game where you have to grind out some runs.
"I looked up at one point and he had 80 pitches total and 60 of them were strikes. That just lets you know he's in the (strike) zone. He's tough to deal with."
The Padres succeeded in grinding out a single run in the seventh inning against Haren. Adrian Gonzalez smashed a one-out double to left-center field, and came around to score on Headley's two-out single to center field.
Headley had two of the Padres' three hits against Haren, and he achieved them by forsaking his normal grind-it-out strategy. Among National League hitters, only Milwaukee's Ryan Braun saw more pitches than did Headley last season. When Dan Haren is on the mound, however, Headley trades patience for haste. He's up there hacking.
"With a guy like that, you need to be aggressive," Headley explained. "Once he gets ahead of you, he's got an out pitch with the split (finger) and he can locate a fastball, or a cutter or a curveball at any time. So if you get a good pitch to hit, you should hit it early. …
"He's not going to walk you and he's not going to make a ton of mistakes right in the middle of the plate. So if you're hanging around waiting for one, you might not get one."
Greg Maddux was like that. Hitters who customarily worked the count would step up against Maddux anxious to hit anything they might be able to handle. Efforts to pad Maddux's pitch total, on the theory that it might lead to a lesser arm in middle relief, often led to an 0-2 count.
Unsurprisingly, Haren had the best strikeout-to-walk ratio in the National League last season (5.87-to-1). Yesterday, he walked no one, went to three balls only once (preceding Headley's second-inning double) and threw a first-pitch strike to 20 of the 24 batters he faced.
That Haren is able to keep his control despite a pronounced pause in mid-delivery is impressive and irritating.
"I definitely had a little trouble with the timing of his windup," said Kyle Blanks, who went 0-for-3 against Haren before homering in the ninth inning against reliever Bob Howry. "I need to kind of time it out because I'm pretty sure I'm going to see him again. I better come out swinging."

Review: 'Matching Jack'
A second chance at happiness awaits a woman with philandering husband, ill son in "Matching Jack."
A second chance at happiness awaits a woman with philandering husband, ill son in "Matching Jack."
An ambitious Pakistani TV journo and an Osama bin Laden lookalike trigger an international ruckus in the mildly amusing Bollywood farce.
Too much contemplation and not enough demonstration sends Thai-socky "Ong Bak 3" slumping to the canvas.
Finely tuned observations of first love, long-lost love and mother-daughter dynamics gently coalesce in Aussie domestic drama "Lou."
Teenage bullying and the pernicious potential of social media are the hot topics at play in "Wasted on the Young."
Debuting documakers Wes Orshoski and Greg Olliver barely hit a bum note in their hugely entertaining portrait of Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister.
Spectacular locations only partially compensate for lukewarm soul-searching and comic romance.
A tired sequel to Aussie comedy smash "The Wog Boy" (2000), "The Kings of Mykonos" mines few big laughs from the lowbrow misadventures of a Greek-Australian dimwit seeking to claim a family fortune…
The fifth in a "7 Up" - like documentary series directed by Gillian Armstrong since 1976, "Love Lust & Lies" is an entertaining and unflinchingly honest return to the lives of three working - class…
So little rings true that only modest chuckles are wrung from "I Love You Too."
Serves up misanthropy of the fitfully engaging kind.

VoipReview Speed Test
Test your Internet speed with our innovative speed test!
Test Your Speed Now
There are many business VoIP providers in the market today. Don't worry, though: we've got reviews of hundreds of business VoIP providers to make your search easier.
We've listed all the business VoIP services in our directory below so you can compare them on most important criteria: reviews! From the biggest and most established VoIP providers like Vonage Business Solutions to the small and up-and-coming providers, you'll find all of the business VoIP reviews we have right here.
First off, we vet all our reviews closely. We adhere rigorously to our submission guidelines, so you can research with confidence.
That being said, there are still some things you should consider when reading reviews on business VoIP providers.
Most of the reviews are for Hosted VoIP providers. Hosted VoIP is the most common application of VoIP technology. With Hosted VoIP, a business owner leases access to a VoIP provider's VoIP servers and calling network in exchange for being able to call on the phone. It is also sometimes referred to as Hosted PBX or Cloud Communications.
Since VoIP companies provide a service, it's important to know how well they deliver. That's why we're here: to give you business VoIP reviews and hosted VoIP reviews from real VoIP users.
Older, more established providers have more reviews than newer VoIP companies. This doesn't mean that the new companies are worse or that the old companies are better. That's why we have included a graph of the user's average rating over time for individual providers. This way, users can see how a provider has performed over time.
However, you can feel more comfortable with your decision should you choose a provider with more reviews - we understand this.
Using our user reviews can be a great way to get insider knowledge on providers. They're also a great way through which you can share your VoIP experience. Be sure to contribute your review today!
We allow users to rate and review their business VOIP provider with 5 criteria. We then combine these scores into one overall rating to spit out the overall star rating for each of the SIP-enabled, virtual pbx, or hosted VoIP review:
Basically, people have given their opinion of the providers with regard to these five categories. The higher the category is rated, the better that reviewers opinion of the VoIP company's service. Makes sense, right?
Reviewers have the ability to add a 'would recommend' or 'would not recommend' suggestion to their reviews. On providers with many older reviews, these statistics can be a bit skewed; but on providers with newer reviews, these are a great, quick way to see our community's overall opinion.
Do you have a personal experience to share about one of our VoIP providers? Let us know. Your reviews are used to rate these business VoIP providers, and help others make their VoIP selection.
Find the provider you'd like to review with our search function or by using one of our compare tables. Click on the "Review" links on the VoIP provider's page and register your account - after that, add your review!
Please keep in mind that each user gets to add one review per provider.

but hey, $_POST['custom_css'] has no value. print_r($_POST) also return blank. I know it because form action is option.php that is not the current page
<form method="post" action="options.php">

or is there any other smart way to do that?

Footprints Foundation to train women in midwifery
| 3/8/2012, 4 a.m.
[gallery link="file" columns="2" orderby="title"]
Local non-profit organization aids Congolese women
Common wisdom says that television, also known as the boob tube or the idiot box, provides nothing but trashy non-redeeming information. However, for 58-year-old Lorna Owens, television inspired her calling after she witnessed a news program reporting the continuous conflict in Congo, where an estimated two million women have been raped. That report led Owens to research the Congo further and what she found revealed a country with numerous issues from continuing violence to widespread rape and poverty. But it was the high infant mortality rate that particularly struck her. The magnitude of it was just phenomenal to me and I thought, why isnt anyone doing anything and then a voice told me, its up to you, Owens said. Eventually Owens decided to create the non-profit organization, Footprints Foundation, Inc., last year. According to Maricia Narine, a board member of the organization, The mission is to help reduce the rate of maternal death and infant mortality in locations around the world and we do this by training midwives and raising funds to buy supplies for midwives for the hospitals that were working with. The foundations goals were a natural fit for Owens, a retiree from criminal and entertainment law, who is herself a certified midwife and registered nurse. Still concerned about the women living in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Owens decided that the foundations first education mission would start there. Even with all of her research and consulting experts and other non-profits in the Congo, Owens and other members of the Foundation were unprepared for the reality of life in the Central African nation when they visited for the first time in September 2011. They visited Project Congo Alliance in Goma, Congo and St. Vincent Hospital in Bukavu, Congo. I cant explain to you how poor and how chaotic and how much infrastructure [lacking] that there is in the Congo, she said. So whatever we think that we are going to go into the Congo and do, were already 10 steps behind. For example, they learned that among the obstacles to training were a potential student population that was illiterate, spoke a variety of African dialects, and a lack of electricity and sterile work environments, according to Owens. How exactly Footprints Foundation, Inc. will overcome these obstacles is at the top of organizations list. We dont have a specific date certain, but the goal is to be doing the [training] later this year, Narine said. According to Owens, when they do begin training, a class will consist of about 30 local women.

The New York Knicks have never won a playoff series after losing Game 1 at home and will need to make some changes if they're to get past the Indiana Pacers in the second round.
Down 2-1, Carmelo Anthony and company still have a good chance of winning the series, but their inconsistency makes it hard to tell whether or not they'll make it.
Going back to New York down two games would be a nightmare for the Knicks, so they need to fix things sooner rather than later.
The Knicks still have the talent to win the series, and based on their historical performance in their Game 2 victory, there is hope.
Before we can talk about the next round, though, there are some glaring issues that need to be corrected, or it will be Indiana that advances.

Solutions for Chapter 11
(a) Yield curve:
Yield curve is a graphic that represents the yield on bonds of the same credit quality but different maturities. This is found as a plot of bond yield versus time to maturity where the bond yield is represented as a percentage and is the dependent variable. The time to maturity is the independent variable.
The curve is constructed by the market participants through observation of bond prices and yields in the bond markets and the curve is subject to change with changing external environment that would affect the trading in the bond markets. The major types of yield curve consists of three hypothetical yield curves namely the positive yield curve, inverted yield curve and the flat yield curve.
(b) The reason for the treasury yield curve been the one that is most closely watched by market participants:
It has been observed that the market participants have always been eager in constructing the treasury yield curve out of the treasury securities being traded in the bond market by using the bond prices and time to maturity. This is because of two major reasons – default risk and liquidity.
The treasury securities are free from any default risk and hence almost all the treasury securities being actively traded in the markets have no risk of default which would affect their price of trading. This results in the fact that the bond yield obtainable from the trading price would fully reflect the time to maturity as a factor of dependency for yield.
The other reason is that there is no problem of liquidity in case of treasury securities. Hence there will be few or practically no problems of infrequent trade in the market and the yield curve obtained would always tend to reflect the market information in the right manner. All this because of the fact that this yield curve constructed by market participants is used as the benchmark for pricing of other bonds and setting yields for other securities being traded in the other sectors of the debt market.

In Photos: Fun times at Mill Creek Festival …
Officer cleared in shooting
A Mill Creek police officer was legally justified in shooting twice in the direction of a man who reportedly appeared to be reaching for a weapon at the end of a dangerous car chase on New Year's Day, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe has determined.
The man, 52, was not hit by the bullets, but he stopped what he was doing after the gunfire, and was eventually arrested, Roe wrote in a decision released July 19.
The incident began late on Jan. 1 when the driver didn't pull over for Mill Creek police and Snohomish County sheriff's deputies.
Officers gave chase onto I-405 and I-5, reaching speeds of about 90 mph. A deputy used his patrol car to hit the fleeing vehicle twice and the tires were flattened with spikes before the driver pulled to the shoulder.
But the fleeing driver still did not stop, and used his car to pin a Mill Creek officer as he attempted to climb out his patrol vehicle, Roe wrote.
The man ignored orders to stop and show his hands. The officer opened fire when he saw the driver reaching toward the car's glove box, the prosecutor said.
Comments sought on Point Wells project
The corporate owner of a century-old petroleum and asphalt facility on Puget Sound is gradually moving along plans to transform it into high-end condos, shops and offices.
The first of two meetings on the possible future of Point Wells is scheduled for July 27, 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Edmonds Conference Center, 201 Fourth Ave. N. Another will follow September 23, 6:30 – 8 p.m. at the Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 First Ave. NE.
Initially, the owner's representatives won't have any designs to unveil; they mainly want to hear what the community has to say.
"This first meeting in particular, we're going to be doing a lot of listening," said Barry Bartlett, a spokesman for the project. "We know that this is a long-term transformation of the property. That's part of what of what we're going to be conveying to residents, that this process simply is not going to be happening overnight."
Fire District 7 seeks tax hike
Residents served by Snohomish County Fire District 7 will be asked next month to double the tax they pay for emergency medical services.
Officials will ask voters on the Aug. 17 primary mail-in ballot to approve an increase to 50 cents per $1,000. If voters agree, the new tax would be permanent, rather than lasting for six years as it does now.
District property owners now pay 25 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value for the service.
The fire district serves about 60,000 people living in mostly rural southeast portions of the county. It also is under contract to provide fire and medical services to Mill Creek.
Currently, the owner of a $360,000 house pays $90 a year. If voters agree to the increase, that owner would pay $180 a year for the EMS tax.
Fire District 7 will hold its last informational meeting about the proposed levy July 29, 6 p.m. at Fire Station 71, 8010 180th St. SE, Snohomish.
County offers utility bill assistance
About 1,000 people living in Snohomish County, who meet income guidelines, can get help paying heating or power bills.
Snohomish County's emergency assistance and weatherization program has received some one-time-only money from the Snohomish County PUD, allowing the county agency to provide help to more people this year.
Financial help is available for all types of heat, including electric, natural gas, propane, oil or wood.
Since Oct. 1, 8,691 households have received financial help in paying their heating or energy bills, according to Bill Seuscher, who supervises the program. The average payment was $370.
To qualify, a single adult can have a monthly income of no more than $1,805. The monthly income for a family of four cannot exceed $3,675.
The application deadline is Aug. 31. Applications generally must be made in person, in the lower level of the Robert Drewel Administration Building, 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett, however arrangements can be made for people who are disabled or who have transportation problems.
Volunteer faces child molestation accusations
Prosecutors on July 13 charged Terry Jensen, 55, with first-degree child molestation in connection with a 2006 incident in Edmonds. The 8-year-old girl told detectives that Jensen fondled her three times during a class at church, according to court papers.
Jensen, a volunteer magician and puppeteer at Westgate Chapel, is also charged with attempted voyeurism after allegations surfaced that he took pictures up the skirts of unsuspecting women and girls at church. Two women also reported that Jensen used a small camera that looked like a pen to take similar pictures of them during business trips.
Following the 2006 incident Jensen was allowed to remain a volunteer with the children's ministry. He was removed in January after the new allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. Church officials confronted Jensen and reported the allegations to Edmonds police.
"We were deeply saddened by these allegations and our focus became the healing of our congregation," leaders of Westgate Chapel said in a prepared statement.
On July 14 church leaders said they plan to provide police with the results of a lie detector test that was given to Jensen following the 2006 complaint. At the time church officials said they confronted Jensen with the girl's allegations that he became sexually aroused after he picked the child up and hugged her. Jensen offered to take a lie detector test which the church's attorney arranged. A technician concluded that Jensen was being truthful when he denied any sexual intent or contact with the girl, and he offered a plausible explanation for the misunderstanding, according to the statement.
Jensen allegedly apologized to the girl during a meeting facilitated at the time by the church and attended by the girl, her mother and the church's leadership team, Snohomish County deputy prosecutor Adam Cornell wrote.

Skill Level Beginner
Audio warping is a tool that allows us to change the tempo of a clip without changing the pitch. But it's also an extremely useful tool for editing clips. Let's take a look at how you can work with Transient and Warp markers in order to create loops that smoothly loop and groove. So, Live analyses all audio files and clips to determine where any transients and their tabs are located. If the Warp button on the sample box in an audio clip is enabled. We can see where Live thinks those transients are located by these little white lines that appear above each attack or transient in the clip. Now, I've got a clip here that's part of a longer section of audio. And I want to work with this, so that this clip accurately loops. And then we can deal with any groove problems that might be contained within this.
So, I'm going to zoom in near the front of that by clicking and dragging in the ruler. And the first thing I can see is that the actual attack for this first hit in this section of audio is coming before bar five. So, I want to move this over, and to do that, I'm going to need to take this Transient marker and turn that into a Warp marker. So, when I move my cursor over the top of that, you'll see a little rectangle appears above that. And then when I double-click on that, you'll see that, that turns yellow. An that yellow marker is actually a Warp marker.
So I'm going to grab that an drag it, an I am in grid mode so it should snap right to bar five as I get close. And you'll see it popped right there. It also time stretched the audio that came before that, an moved the audio after that later. But we're going to work with fixing the end of this, so that we get this right inside the four bars that we want. So I'll zoom back out and now I'm going to zoom on the other end of the clip, on the end. And what I want to do is I want to snap this Transient marker on to bar 9 so that I end up with 4-bar loop.
But as I'm looking at this, the first thing I'm noticing is that this Transient marker is not at the beginning of the hit. So, just for example, if I zoom back out, let me play the last bar of this clip and listen to what it does when it repeats back to the front end. (music playing) So hopefully you heard a little bit of a flam right there as it looped back around. And I want to avoid that. So I'm going to zoom in and I want to move that transit marker without moving the underline audio. So what I'm going to do is hover my mouse until I see the pseudo warp marker. And then hold down my Shift key.
And now I can click and drag that freely. And I'm going to put that right over here, right before that next transit begins. So that that is right at the zero crossing. And hopefully will give me the ability to avoid any click or pop there that might occur there at the end as I adjust this over to bar nine. So now all I need to do again is double click that Transient marker, turn that into a work marker and I'll click and drag and snap that over at bar 9. Now I should be able to play this and I'm going to turn up on the level of that clip a little so we hear a little bit better.
And let me boost the tempo just a little bit so it's a little faster. I'll click on the ruler here at bar eight, so that will loop the last bar, and I can hear the beginning. (music playing) Okay, great, that was good. So, we hear that, that really cleanly made the transition back around to the front end of the loop. So, some other things that you're going to want to do, as you're working on this Is just make sure that there are Transient markers at each place that there's a transient. And that there aren't any extras. So, I'm going to zoom in here, kind of towards the end of bar four. As I'm looking at five three, I'm noticing that there is, what looks like an extra transient there.
Now normally I would just go ahead and play this and test it out but I'm looking at the tail of this piece of audio here and I don't see another peak there. So for whatever reason it looks like Live has miscalculated there and I've got an extra transient. So I'm going to click that transient to select it and when that triangle turns black. I can go ahead and hit my Delete key, and now when I move my cursor over, you can see that there is no longer a Transient marker there. So Live will not mistakenly warp that because it believes that there is some element there that isn't there. But as I move over It looks like I can see that there is a transient, albeit small.
And there's no Transient marker there, so I want to add one. So I'm going to briefly turn off my, grid by right-clicking an choosing Off. And now I can move my cursor, right to where that transient is. Let me do that. I'm going to zoom in a little bit more carefully. And get that right where that starts. Now I can add a Transient marker by using the command, Cmd+Shift+I, which would be Ctrl+Shift+I on a PC. And now I've got the transient marker that I need there. Now that I've got all the markers set and I've got the loop end and loop beginning set correctly. I'll take a look at this.
I'm going to go back into an eight note grid. Because that's mostly what's contained here. And I can see that it looks like there are several transients that aren't lining up with the grid. One of the things I can do as I look at this and I see that this snare hit on bar six b two which is really off. Is I can snap that onto the grid. So if I zoom in. See my Transient marker, hover over there, double-click it, and then move that over. Oh! It looks like it moved everything else, so it's telescoping things back and forth as I move these individual markers. So before I do that, what I need to do is pin the Transient markers either side of that by turning them into Warp markers, which will basically pin them in place. Then I can move the one between them freely without moving anything else. I can simply double-click turn all three of these into Warp markers. Or I could use the command, Cmd hover and you can see that I now have pseudo Warp markers over the one that I am hovering over and the two adjacent ones. And once you see that you can go ahead and double-click. And I've added Warp markers to all three Transient markers. Now I can grab the one in the middle and snap that onto grid. And the other ones didn't move.
So now that I've fixed this one snare head. We can go transient by transient and make an evaluation and fix anything else that needs fixing. So while there's no substitute for a good performance. Warping is a great way to fix rhythmic errors and create clips that smoothly loop.
