An Officer With a Love For Kin and Colleagues
By NEIL MacFARQUHAR
Published: July 3, 1999
The night watch is not the shift that a detective with more than 20 years on the Port Authority police force would usually choose, but Philip Stephenson, who was critically injured yesterday by a suspect fleeing in a car, had specifically requested the overnight detail for the last four or five years.
''He felt that would give him more time at home,'' said Detective John G. Trotter, a colleague who has known the officer for all of his 23 years on the force.
Night-shift crews can be dispatched to any Port Authority property, from Port Newark to the World Trade Center to La Guardia or Kennedy International Airport. They rarely work specific beats, although much of Detective Stephenson's work has been on drug assignments.
The job he began on Thursday night, checking out information from baggage handlers at Kennedy Airport that there was marijuana in luggage at the Tower Air Terminal, was the kind of operation that he took part in all the time, colleagues said. But this time something went badly wrong, the authorities said. Detective Stephenson was in critical but stable condition yesterday at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, with his wife, Joan, and his 16-year-old son at his side.
About an hour before the incident, Detective Trotter was relieved by Detective Stephenson, and the two traded small talk about the coming holiday weekend. The officers had been feeling especially close to each other recently because one of their colleagues had died of a stroke in the spring, Detective Trotter said. So their exchanges, ''Have a safe tour'' and ''Have a good holiday'' had added meaning.
Detective Stephenson, 49, started with the Port Authority police walking a beat in the midtown bus terminal. He was promoted to detective in 1984 and over time earned eight medals for meritorious service.
Colleagues said he had done the basic investigative legwork on several high-profile cases in recent years, including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and the crashes of T.W.A. Flight 800 in 1996 and Swissair Flight 111 last year.
At 5 feet 9 inches and 185 pounds, Detective Stephenson did not have an intimidating air. ''He was not an overly aggressive guy,'' Detective Trotter said. ''He was a real sweet guy.''
When not playing golf near his Rockland County home, Detective Stephenson was known to spend some of his off hours doing work for the detectives' union, answering colleagues' questions about medical insurance or pensions.
He himself was eligible to retire three years ago but did not leave the force. ''Everybody says, 'When it is your time, you'll know,' '' Detective Trotter said. ''And he just wasn't ready.''

Ozark rivers tend to meander through their valleys alternating back and forth, curving to the left then the right. Along the inside of each bend there is usually a gravel bar. Gravel bar camping is a special pleasure in the Ozarks. The bars are our version of the beach. If there is any breeze at all, you get it on the bar. Views of the stars are wonderful and mosquitoes are usually minimal. Nights spent on Ozark gravel bars are an experience to treasure. The week before Halloween, this year my friend David Thrasher, my wife, Sharon, and I canoed for five days from North Maumee on the Buffalo River down to Shipp's Ferry on the White River. Along the way, we camped on some of the best gravel bars that the Ozarks have to offer.
Gravel bar camping may be a somewhat new experience in the Ozarks. In the records of early explorers of the White River system, descriptions of gravel bars are rare. Henry Schoolcraft, who explored the Ozarks in 1819, kept a very complete and interesting journal. Schoolcraft first floated the North Fork river down into the White and on to Batesville. Then on another trip he came down the James River and through what is now Bull Shoals Lake. In all of his exploring there is just one mention of camping on a gravel bar. It seems most nights he was able to stay in the cabin of one of the settlers along the river. So where did all the gravel come from?
Go stand at the head of a riffle sometime, and watch for a few minutes and you will see fine grains of sand slowly cover your feet. You are experiencing one of the two geological functions of rivers, to transport sediment. The other function is to move water downstream. In fact, it is the force of the water that is moving the sand. Gravel bars are deposited sediment that was transported out of the watershed during flood events. In a pristine watershed, the supply of sediment to the river will be fairly closely balanced by the capacity of the river to transport sediment. If that balance gets out of kilter, then the river either erodes sediment from its bed and banks, or it deposits sediment from the watershed onto the floodplain.
As a river gets deeper and faster, it has capacity to move more and larger sediment. During a flood, the river is moving large cobble and even boulders. So we know that Ozark rivers, like all rivers, have always moved sediment. We also know that the gravel on gravel bars is in transit. If the gravel were permanent, plants would quickly colonize the bar and re-establish vegetation.
To understand the origin of gravel bars in the Ozarks, you need to first understand the history of European settlement in the Ozark region and the influence that changing land use had on the river. Back in 1997 Robert Jacobson, a hydrologist at the United States Geological Survey, and historian Alexander Primm did a study on just that subject. They used the Current River and Jacks Fork as their laboratory. The interesting thing about this study was that they actually used oral histories to recreate conditions around the turn of the 20th century. Then they applied the science of hydrology to make sense of everything. What follows is my interpretation of Jacobson and Primm's paper, Historical Land-use Changes and Potential Effects on Stream Disturbance in the Ozark Plateaus, Missouri, and a follow-up study done by Jacobson and Marcia Panful in 2001, Physiography, Land Use, and Stream Habitat Conditions in the Buffalo and Current River Systems, Missouri and Arkansas.
Prior to European settlement of the Ozarks, our streams and rivers pretty well balanced the supply of sediment with the capacity of the streams to move sediment. That is not to say that the Native Americans didn't have any impact on the rivers. They most certainly used the land along our rivers and within the watersheds and had to have some impact on the streams themselves. But their lifestyle apparently didn't disrupt the streams to a large extent.
Schoolcraft hardly mentioned gravel bars in his journal; however, he provided a really good description of the riparian (stream side) zones of the rivers. He was especially impressed with the deep soils and dense vegetation in these zones. Frequently, he discussed how difficult it was to traverse the riparian areas because of the dense vegetation.
According to Jacobson and Primm, the early settlers saw the potential of the deep soil and settled in the river bottoms. As I mentioned above, Schoolcraft frequently stayed with stream side settlers on his explorations. The settlers cleared garden plots in the deep soil to feed themselves. They did have cattle and other livestock, but at the time, most of the country was open range so the cattle roamed as they wished. Gradually, wagon paths and then roads developed along the river bottoms connecting the settlements.
From around 1880 until roughly 1920, there was a boom in the Ozarks based on harvesting the hardwood forest. The logs were marked and floated down the rivers to mills where much of it was converted into railroad ties. Of course, the men who moved into the Ozarks to harvest the timber had to have homes for themselves and their families and garden plots to feed themselves.
There is a somewhat prevalent theory that the gravel currently forming our gravel bars was released when the foresters removed the timber exposing the chert gravel in the forest floor to erosion. That may be part of the answer, but Jacobson and Primm found that the timber operations by themselves were not sufficient to cause the massive movement of gravel.
During the late 1800s and early 1900s, timber was harvested primarily by the labor of humans and mules. They efficiently removed timber from the relatively level ridge tops and the flood plains. But getting timber off of the steep slopes was just too difficult. So the trees were left where they stood. The recollections of the folks that lived during the time did not include description of massive erosion at the timber sites.
After the timber boom, the open range was mostly closed and cattle had to be kept in fenced pastures, frequently in the wide valley bottoms. Through the 1930s and 1940s, the Ozarks lost population.
The cleared hilltops likely did contribute to more runoff into the streams and more frequent flooding. The cleared floodplains provided less resistance to flow than the dense native vegetation described by Schoolcraft. As a result, water moved with higher velocity; therefore, it had more capacity to transport sediment. As the streams move more and more sediment, headward (upstream) erosion started working its way up the tributaries into the steep hillsides. As the drainage system expanded up the hillsides, the cherty gravel in the hillside soils was freed to move downstream. This was the gravel that initially formed gravel bars.
As people moved out, lots of land reverted to nature. Jacobson and Primm were able to show recovery of the Current River and Jacks Fork toward a more natural balance of sediment supply and transport through measurements of the elevation of the steam bed long-term stream gages. Then they saw a second wave of gravel starting after World War II. This second wave they thought was the result of widespread availability of tracked vehicles after the war. Foresters were then able to get to the trees on the steep hillsides that had been left behind earlier. Apparently, it wasn't long till the forestry industry figured out how to avoid serious erosion problems, as Jacobson and Primm found that the streams are once again recovering. At least that's the case up until 1993, when they collected their data.
Jacobson and Panfil's 2001 paper indicated the situation on the Buffalo River was similar to the Current and Jacks Fork Rivers with one exception. In the Buffalo basin, there is much more relief in the topography and smaller floodplains. As a result, more of the steep hillsides were cleared, possibly originally for the timber, then maintained as pasture for cattle. While the events that started the movement of massive amounts of gravel were similar to the Current and Jacks Forks, the recovery of the Buffalo has not been as pronounced. The clearing of the steep hillsides and roads to those clearings is continuing to supply excessive gravel to the river. Thus our gravel bars, for better or for worse, are sustaining themselves.
Gravel bar camping is a wonderful experience. However, it is not without its downside. On Memorial Day in 2000, I was floating the Buffalo River with a group of the usual suspects. We started at Tyler Bend and planned on floating over three days down to Dillards Ferry. After a good day of floating, we camped on the gravel bar across from Red Bluff, just four miles downstream from Gilbert. It was a balmy evening. We sat out and watched fireflies across the river and told all the usual lies. As the evening progressed, a moderate but steady rain set in. We noted the water level and condition of the river and all looked ok. So one by one we headed into our tents to bed. Periodically through the night, I got up to check the river. At about 4 a.m., I was out and all seemed well. Then at 4:30 we woke up when one of the Bubbas started hollering, "Big Trouble!" I set up on my cot and found water about ankle deep in the tent. We scampered out and pulled our stuff uphill as fast as we could. Some, well make that most, of our gear had already washed away. By daylight, the gravel bar that was a hundred or so feet wide at dusk had about 10 feet left.
We were lucky in that we had a couple of large inflatable rafts onto which we could load our remaining gear and float out. Along the way, we saw the wrecks of several camps, lots of canoes washed up into trees and even one truck underwater. It is always wise to be sure there is an un-interrupted escape route uphill and out of the flood plain.

2014 PepsiCo Pitch Competition Recap
The PepsiCo Pitch Competition is an annual event that challenges first year students to develop a 2-minute elevator pitch for a new business idea that they're working on in class. All first year BBA students perform their pitch to their lab class and teaching assistant to get a grade, and then two students from each lab advance to the semifinals where they earn bonus marks.
I was lucky enough to get invited to return to my alma mater and judge the semifinal round, alongside other fellow teaching assistants (past and present). Right before we left for our judging rooms, we were reminded of David Chilton's (CBC Dragons' Den, The Wealthy Barber, and competition keynote speaker/co-sponsor's) advice when it comes to pitches and investment:
"Before you get my money, you have to earn my trust.
Before you earn my trust, you have to get my attention."
In such a simple way, this line hones in on 4 important pillars of a pitch (and the corresponding judging criteria):
Structure – A good pitch introduces an idea in an easy-to-follow formula. Key ingredients include an explanation of the problem, the solution to that problem, and what the bizknobs like to call a WIIFM ('What's In It For Me?') statement.
Open/Close – The introduction is your make or break moment to capture a person's attention. Common ways to do this are by asking questions, telling a short anecdotal story, or adding a dramatic flair. A good close ties into the intro in a way that brings the pitch full circle, and also leaves the audience eager to come talk to you about your idea more.
Delivery – This is the public speaking portion of a pitch. We were looking for pitchers who made good use of their volume, intonation, body language, and spoke at an appropriate pace.
Connection – I would argue that this last judging criteria is the most important one and possibly one of the hardest to define. Making eye contact with the person you're pitching to, and making them feel comfortable and as though they can trust you is the surest way to succeed. If you know in advance who any of the judges or investors might be, do your research and tailor your pitch specifically for them.
I mean it when I say that these first year students were extremely impressive in all four of these areas. It truly is a testament to the calibre of students that are entering Laurier's business program, and I am so excited to see what the future has is store.
Congratulations to the 2014 Finalists
In alphabetical order (not as pictured above), the finalists were: Ali Ahmed, Lucas Cohen, Maya Dobner, Shaiyun Khan, Taylor Kretz, Galina Lee, Marilyn Pellowe, Rafey Sattar, Joshua Simpson, Zach Spence, Wes Thompson, and Winta Yonathan.
These 12 students presented their elevator pitch one last time in front of a jam-packed 1E1 (a huge theatre-style lecture hall) as well as 5 prominent judges:
- Sid Paquette: Director of OMERS Ventures
- Tim Martin: VP Finance of Auvik Networks
- Greta Podleski: author of 4 best-selling cookbooks including Looneyspoons and Eat, Shrink & Be Merry!
- Mike Ruff: GM, VP of PepsiCo Beverages and competition sponsor
- Jason McDonell: GM, VP of PepsiCo Foods and competition sponsor
After a delightful keynote speech by David Chilton (full of lots of hilarious Dragons' Den stories), it was time to hear who the top 3 were:
First Place – Joshua Simpson
Second Place – Winta Yonathan
Third Place – Marilyn Pellowe

It must be the movies he's made. I always thought he might lean Republican.
Only out of concern for his health. I hope he'll be around for many years to come, but, still. Alzhiemer's is no way for anyone to go.

i wonder if Zakk Wylde is a Republican? He was pretty vocal about supporting the troops and killing terrorists at OzzFest.
I was shocked too after such a convincing portrayal but I've seen and heard several interviews with him myself which bare this out.

I think they are "Scoop Jackson" Democrats, who finally woke up to the fact that Democrats don't want their kind anymore.
Glad to hear this. Thanks for the info.
No, he said in an interview a couple of years ago that he thinks the government should go house-to-house and seize every single gun.

Boulder, Colo. (AP) Astronauts preparing for a repair mission to the Hubble space telescope plan to visit Ball Aerospace on Friday.
The Boulder company built two instruments that the astronauts will install on the telescope.
The astronauts have some time on their hands because NASA has pushed back the Hubble repair flight until at least may 2009. The mission was once deemed too risky to attempt. But the current NASA chief decided it was worth fixing the telescope so it could keep taking pictures of space through 2013.
The Space Shuttle Endeavour was scheduled to take off Friday evening for a delivery mission to the international space station.

When will Apple launch its own headphones?
Rumours about new Apple headphones have been hotting up recently. Here, we round up all of the new Apple headphone speculation, including rumours about Lightning EarPods and new Apple Beats headphones.
Last updated to include new information regarding the connectivity of the new headphones and a new Bluetooth adaptor concept that could bridge the gap between wired and wireless headphones
iPhone 7 headphone rumours
There's still probably seven months to go before its launch, but the most persistent rumour about the iPhone 7 so far is that it will ditch the traditional headphone jack. (Read our iPhone 7 preview.)
This makes a lot of sense, following the announcement in 2014 that future iOS devices will support Lightning-connected headphones: after all, why make space for two ports when one would be enough? And this could enable Apple to make the iPhone 7 thinner than any previous Apple smartphone. But it does leave headphone makers with the option of making Apple-specific Lightning models or going wireless.
With control over the connection technology, could Apple join the competition and release its own set of Lightning headphones under the Beats brand? That's what we're going to consider today.
Read next: Best Bluetooth wireless headphones | Best wired headphones
New Apple headphones release date
Back in 2014, Apple revealed at its WWDC event that headphone makers could now manufacture headphones that connect to iOS devices via the Lightning port. This announcement arrived just weeks after Apple confirmed that it had acquired Beats Audio, the company behind the popular Beats headphones. See: Why did Apple buy Beats?
Understandably, this led to speculation that suggests that the first headphones Beats unveils under Apple's management will use the Lightning port rather than the 3.5mm audio jack.
It's believed that the Beats acquisition is mostly focused on Beats Music - the company's music streaming service. But it would make sense for Beats to be among the first companies to launch Lightning-compatible headphones now that it's owned by Apple.
The first Lightning-connecting headphones are out now, although the choice remains distinctly limited: we are aware of just two at the time of writing.
iPhone 7 headphone rumours: Lightning or wireless?
While everyone assumed that Apple would bundle a pair of wireless EarPods with the iPhone 7, that may not be the case. In a Barclays investors note obtained by Business Insider, analysts Blayne Curtis and Christopher Hemmelgarn claim that Apple will ship the iPhone 7 with Lightning-enabled EarPods, instead of completely wireless headphones. The note claims that Apple hasn't yet purchased the rights to Cirrus' noise-cancelling technology that is needed, although the company is said to still be considering going wireless with the iPhone 7s headphones.
"We still believe there is potential for Apple to add ANC in the iPhone 7s but believe Apple is including just the digital headphone in the iPhone 7 this year," the investors said in the note.
While this is just a rumour, we believe this is the route that Apple would follow if it removed the 3.5mm jack - why pay more to manufacture wireless headphones when Lightning-enabled ones would do the same job?
In August 2016, Forbes then reported that Apple has been developing its own Bluetooth radio chip for wireless headphones, presumably in an attempt to improve battery life and bring the potential product up to Apple's high standards.
The low-power chip is supposedly the work of a company Apple acquired in 2013 called Passif Semiconductor. It was reported that Apple had actually planned to release wireless headphones in 2015 but was not satisfied with performance. We'll have to wait and see if such a product materialises with the forthcoming iPhone 7. If it does, it'll then be a matter of whether it's included in the box or as an additional premium accessory that you'll have to fork out for.
What's the point of Lightning headphones?
The Lightning headphone module was first unveiled during a WWDC session for developers, titled 'Designing Accessories for iOS and OS X.'
During that session, Apple's manager of platform accessories, Robert Walsh, explained that there are several advantages of using the Lightning connector rather than the 3.5mm audio jack.
It offers richer controls for volume and playback, more bandwidth and other benefits. "If your headphones support, for example, noise cancellation, you can offer an app on your device that communicates with your headphones that controls how it operates," Walsh told developers.
They'll be capable of receiving lossless stereo 48kHz audio output from Apple devices, which ties in with the rumours that suggest Apple may be planning to offer lossless music downloads through iTunes in iTunes 12.
The Lightning module will also be able to provide power to your headphones, or vice versa.
See also: Headphone makers will be wary of Apple's Lightning audio pitch
One other thing that could happen as a result of these Lightning headphones is future iPhones could be thinner, as we mentioned earlier. The 3.5mm audio jack is one of the thickest parts of the iPhone, so without it, Apple could alter the design. Alternatively, the lack of an audio jack could leave space for a bigger battery, helping lengthen the battery life of future iPhones.
iPhone 7 headphone rumours: Bluetooth adaptor concept images
Apple ditching the headphone jack could be a massive headache for users, especially those with expensive wired headphones. While we assume Apple will offer some kind of adaptor when the iPhone 7 launches, we're pretty impressed by a concept designed by Industrial design student Sean Nelson. The idea is to bridge the 3.5mm gap with a small Bluetooth headphone 'puck' which looks similar to the Apple Watch charger. The idea is that the user would plug the wired headphones into the puck which would the communicate with your iPhone via Bluetooth.
Photo: Sean Nelson
The idea is simple but effective, and looks like something that Apple would manufacture and release. Writing on his blog, Nelson said: "Our end-goal shouldn't be pushing music into a metal hole until the end of time, so focusing on a Lightning converter seemed silly,". "What made sense to me was instead turning standard headphones into Bluetooth headphones, and thus, this little design exercise was born." he continued.
We'll update this article with more information as it comes in, so check back regularly for updates.

Bought this for my 10-year-old daughter. It is a *real* sewing machine. That means it is too hard for my daughter to use on her own, as it has to be threaded, etc. On the other hand, I have used it for projects around the house and have found it as useful as grown up machines.Read More

Highly Impressed
I'm a seamstress and own several sewing machines (including an embroidery machine and serger) so I definitely know my way around machines. My 6 and 5 year old girls have been asking me to learn how to sew for ages and a couple months ago they saw a cheapy battery operated Hello Kitty sewing machine in a store and BEGGED me to buy it for them.... of coarse I said no because I didn't want to waste money on something I knew would break sooner, rather than later. I knew Janome made a "high quality" Helly Kitty sewing machine so I talked to my mom about it. My parents decided to buy this as a gift for my girls. It's a very sturdy machine about 3/4 the size of a standard sewing machine. It does have a vertical bobbin case which I'm not accustomed to so I did have to break out the owners manual to figure out how to insert the bobbin - took about 2 minutes to figure it out. The manual is easy to follow and perfect for someone who is a novice to sewing and sewing machines. A previous poster mentioned there is no stitch length selector on this machine... while she is right, the machine comes with various stitch length stitches - so you don't need a stitch length selector. There are three straight stiches - the first one is about 2.5mm, the second one is about 3.5mm, and the last one is about 4.5mm - the same applies to the zigzag stitch. The smallest setting for the zigzag stitch is very small and is a borderline satin stitch - so this can easily be used for appliqué work (just another fun thing for the little one learn). While the machine comes with a buttonhole attachment and buttonhole stitch (basically just the smallest zigzag stitch) - I wouldn't exactly recommend it. It works, but it's not the greatest. So, when my girls get to the point they're sewing something with buttons - then we'll likely be doing the buttonholes on my "fancy" sewing machine. Honestly, there are a handful of cheaper Brother sewing machines that come with more stitch options - however, the likelihood that a young girl is going to need more than a straight and zigzag stitch is very slim. You might as well spring for this "girly" sewing machine which they will LOVE... should they outgrow this machine you can always resell it or pass it on to family/friends. Janome is a high quality company/machine (they also make Kenmore sewing machines). Therefore, you can rest assured you're going to get a high quality product! This is perfect for the young girl/teen in your life!Read More
Super cute, super easy, super buy
I'm 33 and have never sewn before but have always wanted to. When I saw this little baby on sale and all of the great reviews, I just couldn't resist. (I also looked around on the internet for price comparisons and couldn't even find it available elsewhere.) I was pretty confident I could learn with one of my friend's help. Before I even got to see him, though, I decided to set it up and give it a try. When I previously looked at the instructions, they seemed intimidating. When I sat down and went through them step by step, they were a breeze. I threaded a bobbin and tried every stitch, all on my own. I can't wait to learn to make something. My friend suggested starting with curtains, so I will be coming back to Overstock for some hardware!Read More
Perfect for a 10 year old!
I bought this little machine with some apprehension, and am pleasantly surprised by how it works. I have expensive sewing machines, and it DID take a little getting used to. But then I had an epihpany - women used to sew on treadle machines which did a straight stitch and that's it. There is no way to adjust stitch length, and there is no speed control (it is possible to adjust the speed with the presser foot), and the buttonhole stitch is a little "rough". But, it HAS three separate straight stitches (teeny, reg, and long) and three sizes of zig-zag, and a tricot stitch, a couple of hem stitches, and a fairly easy to use buttonhole stitch. So, all in all, I would recommend this machine! It's metal, and fairly sturdy. And, it's so CUTE!Read More
Buying this machine made me "the best mom ever"
I bought this machine for my daughter, who just turned eleven. Man, was I ever a hero on Christmas morning! "The best mom ever", I think she said. My mom, a life-long sewist and whiz with sewing machines, was skeptical at first, but after helping her get it set up and start sewing, Mom just couldn't stop talking about how nice it was. And it's quiet! This machine stitches forward and backward, with three different stitch lengths, and it zigzags. Yes, it's basic, but it does all most of us need to do. It's got a nice light on it, and you can take the front panel off to make it a "free-arm" configuration, for sewing on a sleeve or pants leg. So my daughter spent Christmas afternoon practicing her straight seams by sewing without thread on a piece of lined paper. She'd gotten pretty good at following the lines by the end of the day. The day after Christmas, we cut some fabric, and with my help, she made a pair of pillowcases for her bed. And the machine didn't flinch at sewing through five layers of flannel. It did just fine. As one reviewer mentioned, this comes in a box that broadcasts what's inside, so beware if this is supposed to be a surprise. (I don't think that warranted giving the machine a one-star review, however.) The bottom line is that this is a real machine, not a toy, and it's a machine that a young person should be able to use for many years. She's not going to outgrow the functionality of this machine. And since Hello Kitty is a timeless character, I can see this machine going off to college with her in a few years. I already have a sewing machine, but I'm considering getting one of these for myself anyway, because frankly, I'm a little jealous.Read More

Questions & Answers
I've never used a finger guard. I don't really think it's necessary with this machine. It's a great sewing machine for the price.
Is this machine able to sew denim or canvas materials?
No the machine is not sturdy at all. The needle breaks often.
I've not had any difficulty with this machine. I may have used a sturdy needle to sew the heavier materials like denim or canvas. I bought this for my granddaughter but I love to sew on this machine.
Yes. It is just like a regular sewing machine, only smaller. Be sure to use the right size needle for denim. Different fabrics take different needles.

I live in Australia - will this machine work here - with regards to the different vaultage in the USA
Hello mandymoo69, this sewing machine is so much fun! This is designed for US outlets (110.120 voltage). You could likely use this if you have a voltage converter. I hope this information helps. Thank you for shopping with us.
Is this a dual volt machine?
Thank you for contacting us reuban01. This model is not dual voltage. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
What are the specifications of this sewing machine, ie. volts, amps, watts, frequency (hz)? Thanks.
sorry...no idea...maybe check with Janome. :-(
Voltage Transformer 500 Watt 110 Volt 50 Hz
I think this machine is for American electric service which 110/115 Volt single phase 60 hz

I don't think so. Features include reverse lever, easy lay-in threading, a 4-point feed dog system, free-arm design for hard-to-reach areas, and a snap-on presser foot system Included Accessories: Two (2) bobbins, seam ripper, felt, sliding buttonhole foot, needle set, power cord and foot control, and instruction manual.
There is a light on the machine. I bought this from here and have been using it for a month. The light goes on and off with the power switch.
How much does it weigh?
The item weighs about 14lbs.

Women's Swimming
Feb. 6, 2013
SAN DIEGO, Calif. - University of San Diego senior swimmer Jacquie Kimmel was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Athlete of the Week on Wednesday. Kimmel (Chula Vista, Calif.) won a pair of events in USD's dual meet at UC San Diego this past Saturday and helped the 200 and 400 medley relays earn 2nd-place finishes on the day.
Kimmel won the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 23.76, which was the top time on the team for that event this season. She then followed that by winning the 100 freestyle with a career-best 52.65.
This is the first time Kimmel has earned MPSF Athlete of the Week honors. She is the first Torero to earn that recognition since Francesca Finucane on Jan. 25, 2012.
Kimmel and the rest of the Torero swim and dive squad is preparing for the MPSF Championships Feb. 20-23 at East Los Angeles College.

The Cost of Doing Business
By Maurice Isserman
Published: September 9, 2001
Jimmy Hoffa and the Remaking
of the American Working Class.
By Thaddeus Russell.
Illustrated. 272 pp. New York:
Alfred A. Knopf. $26.
Here's my favorite Jimmy Hoffa story: In early September 1972, The Detroit News reported that Hoffa would be leaving imminently for Hanoi to secure the release of American prisoners held by the North Vietnamese. Two of Hoffa's associates from the Teamsters union had met earlier that summer with Richard Nixon's national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, and proposed the idea. They struck some kind of deal, because Hoffa faced no difficulty from the State Department in getting his passport validated for travel to North Vietnam, a country supposedly off limits to all but officially sanctioned American visitors.
Perhaps the Nixon administration reasoned that Hoffa, with years of experience under his belt as president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, would prove a hard-nosed negotiator. Still, it was an unusual assignment for a private citizen -- not to mention a recently paroled felon. Barely six months earlier, Hoffa had walked out of Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania, freed by President Nixon's executive grant of clemency after serving four years and nine months of his original 13-year sentence for jury tampering and pension-fund fraud. Critics of the administration suggested that Hoffa's travel plans might be part of an election-year payoff to the Teamsters (the one major union endorsing the president's re-election) and prelude to a full presidential pardon that would allow Hoffa to return to the Teamster presidency.
In any event, when the story broke prematurely, Hoffa quickly canceled his plane reservations, and the State Department disavowed his passport validation. This was followed by a flurry of official denials in Washington -- from Kissinger, who said that he had opposed the idea of using Hoffa as a negotiator from the start; from Attorney General Richard Kleindienst, who denied reports that he had interceded with Hoffa's parole board to win its permission for the trip; and from the White House press secretary, Ron Ziegler, who denied that President Nixon knew anything at all about the arrangement. (Ziegler would get a lot of practice over the next several years offering similar denials on his president's behalf.) Hoffa never got his full pardon.
Overlooking the moral squalor, what a splendid comic spectacle. Were there an Olympic competition for cynicism, could one imagine a dream team more formidable than that gathered on this occasion: Nixon, Kissinger, Kleindienst, Ziegler -- and Hoffa?
You will not find my favorite Hoffa story in Thaddeus Russell's new work of biography and labor history, ''Out of the Jungle: Jimmy Hoffa and the Remaking of the American Working Class.'' Nor, in a more substantial omission, will you learn about the tens of millions of dollars in Teamster pension funds that flowed during the Hoffa years into mob-controlled casinos in Nevada and similar ventures in Florida and California -- a financial collaboration that, in the words of the labor historian Robert Zieger, ''helped make the very name 'Teamsters' anathema to labor activists and union critics alike.'' What you will find is a historian's equivalent of the full presidential pardon Hoffa hoped to get from President Nixon.
Russell, who teaches American history at Barnard College, initially wrote ''Out of the Jungle'' as a doctoral dissertation at Columbia University. Like many such endeavors by young scholars, this book sets out to overthrow the dominant orthodoxy in its field, in this case interpretations put forward since the 1960's in the name of the ''new labor history.'' The new labor historians, favoring a history-from-the-bottom-up approach to their subject, have been drawn to eras of intense conflict between workers and employers like the the 1930's, and have emphasized working class ''agency'' -- that is, the ability of ordinary workers at certain junctures in American history to change society through their own actions.
Russell believes that these historians have skewed the actual history of the American labor movement to the left -- or, in his terminology, toward a ''corporatist'' bias, overemphasizing the importance of the big industrial unions like the United Auto Workers, which sought social power for the workers in order to do good in and for society. The more traditionally oriented ''pure and simple'' trade unionists, who could be found in craft unions like the carpenters or the Teamsters, have been slighted by comparison.
''The practitioners of the new labor history,'' Russell writes, ''have produced countless studies of the unions of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (C.I.O.), which emerged out of the American Federation of Labor (A.F.L.) in 1935, but only a pitiful few on the affiliates of the A.F.L. after the split. . . . This disparity is particularly curious when one considers that even at the height of the C.I.O.'s growth, the A.F.L. was three times larger in membership, and that on its own terms the A.F.L. could be considered the most successful working-class organization in American history.''

Rotten Tomatoes TV Debuts
Movie buffs are used to visiting RottenTomatoes.com for guidance on whether it will be a "Watchmen" or "Madea Goes to Jail" weekend. Will they tune in as the Web site tries its hand at television?
Tonight, Current, the Al Gore-founded cable station, will begin airing "The Rotten Tomatoes Show." The half-hour episodes feature co-hosts Brett Ehrlich and Ellen Fox, who review film news and, in Web 2.0 style, draw from users for short (really short — DVD releases are reviewed in haiku form) reviews.
Jeff Plunkett, the show's executive producer, says that Current approached the movie-review site with the idea of reinventing a genre that — all due respect to "Siskel & Ebert" — hasn't drawn younger viewers in years.
Rotten Tomatoes was also interested in doing television but hadn't found a partner who "got" the Internet, says Shannon Ludovissy, its vice president and general manager. (The site is part of News Corp.'s Fox Interactive Media. News Corp. also owns Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal.)
"We're very interested in the types of crowdsourcing reviews that they're going to be doing," Mr. Ludovissy says. Current's staffers, he adds, "seem to get in their DNA both the Web and broadcast, which was interesting to us and was a good fit in terms of brand as well."
RottenTomatoes.com received 2 million unique visits in January, according to comScore, though it was outpaced by the heavyweights of film sites, Amazon's IMDb and Yahoo Movies, with 22.5 million and 18.3 million uniques, respectively, that month.
Current is hoping to tap into Rotten Tomatoes' vocal user base, even when those fans are ripping movies and celebrities apart. The channel got a taste early on, when a banner ad on RottenTomatoes.com promoted the show and included photos of the co-hosts. A user asked who Brett and Ellen were, but in more colorful terms.
"That would be exactly our response," says Mr. Plunkett. "There's an honesty, there's humor and all that. I have faith that this community will eventually love Brett and Ellen, but we know we need to earn that."
Each episode of the show will end with "assignments" for viewers, who can submit three-word movie reviews and haiku-style DVD reviews online.
"Pithiness is in," Mr. Plunkett says. "It's your status update, it's Twitter, just the idea of giving people these very stripped-down rules, like a three-word movie review, is something that's going to catch on. I think people want to play in those types of sandboxes."
It's not the first Web site to make the jump to TV. Gossip blogger Perez Hilton had a brief run with "What Perez Sez," and a syndicated version of "TMZ" launched in 2007, and has been keeping couch potatoes apprised of Lindsay Lohan and Octomom's doings ever since.
Not that "The Rotten Tomatoes Show's" creators like the comparison. "I would hate to say that TMZ is an inspiration," says Mr. Plunkett. "What we're doing is entirely different," Mr. Ludovissy says. "I think we're approaching it from a much more, how shall I say it, informed angle."
The show is scheduled to air 45 episodes this year.
