Scientists at the University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography have received a $527,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Chemical Oceanography Program to answer one of the long-standing questions about carbon in the ocean—the rate sunlight produces carbon dioxide from organic carbon molecules in the sea.
Jay Brandes, Leanne Powers and Aron Stubbins will use a new technique they developed to measure this process, which is known as photo-degradation.
The ocean is full of millions of different types of organic compounds. Some are consumed by bacteria, but many are not easily consumed and remain in the ocean for hundreds or thousands of years. However, near the surface, sunlight causes the breakdown of organic compounds and converts them into carbon dioxide through photo-degradation. Until recently, this process has been nearly impossible to measure directly in most of the ocean because the additional carbon dioxide produced per day is tiny compared to the existing high concentration of CO2 present in the sea.
Brandes described the problem as looking for a needle in a haystack.
"You might think this is not important because it is hard to measure, but that's not true," he said. "We're talking about a process that takes place across the whole ocean. When you integrate that over such a vast area, it becomes a potentially very important process."
The project became possible when the team developed a new technique to measure the change in CO2 concentration in a seawater sample. The concept was the brainchild of Powers, a Skidaway Institute post-doctoral research associate. The technique uses carbon 13, a rare, stable isotope of carbon that contains an extra neutron in its nucleus. Researchers will add a carbon 13 compound to a sample of seawater and then bombard the sample with light. The scientists will then use an instrument known as an isotope ratio mass spectrometer to measure the changes in CO2 concentration.
According to Brandes, this project will be breaking new ground in the field of chemical oceanography.
"We don't know what the photo-degradation rates are in most of the ocean," he said. "We are going to establish the first numbers for that."
The team plans to take samples off the Georgia coast, as well as from Bermuda and Hawaii.
While they will continue to refine the carbon 13 technique, Brandes said it is now time to put that tool to work.
"It is now a matter of establishing what the numbers are in these different locations and trying to develop a global budget," he said. "Just how much dissolved organic carbon is removed and converted to CO2 every year?"
The project is funded for three years. The team will also create an aquarium exhibit at the UGA Aquarium on the Skidaway Island campus to help student groups and the public understand river and ocean color.
The soil in the Arctic holds a massive store of carbon. These remnants of plants and animals that lived tens of thousands of years ago have been locked in permafost, soil that is always frozen…until now.
UGA Skidaway Institute of Oceanography scientist Aron Stubbins is part of a team that travelled to Siberia to discover what happens to that carbon when the permafrost thaws.
University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography researcher Catherine Edwards is leading a team that has received a five-year, $750,000 grant from the Southeast Coastal Ocean Observing Regional Association, or SECOORA, to establish a regional glider network.
Also known as autonomous underwater vehicles, the gliders are torpedo-shaped crafts that can be packed with sensors and sent on underwater missions to collect oceanographic data. Equipped with satellite phones, the gliders surface periodically to transmit their recorded data and to receive new instructions during missions that can last from weeks to months.
The team will work collaboratively to operate regular glider missions on the continental shelf in an area from North Carolina to Florida known as the South Atlantic Bight. Regular coordinated experiments will involve simultaneous deployment of gliders at multiple locations off Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. Sensors on the gliders will allow the team to map temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen and other scientific data over the entire South Atlantic Bight. The data will help scientists understand ocean processes and how the ocean physics may affect fisheries—for example, the location of fronts or areas of increased productivity where fish often congregate.
"This glider observatory is the first time regular glider efforts have been funded in the South Atlantic Bight and is complementary to larger SECOORA efforts in observing and modeling," Edwards said. "The work is highly leveraged by contributions from each of the team members and partnerships with fisheries and observing groups at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA."
Edwards and her team have designed the deployments with input from fisheries management partners and interests of commercial and recreational fisheries. Gliders will also be outfitted with passive and active acoustics receivers that will record sound and measure signals from tagged fish. Fisheries managers at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary, state Department of Natural Resources offices, the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council and others will be able use this information to better understand the ocean "soundscape," fish migrations and key species use of their habitat.
"The glider missions will contribute important information related to research underway at Gray's Reef," said Sarah Fangman, superintendent of Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary. "We have been studying fish movement patterns inside the sanctuary, and the gliders' acoustic receivers will provide a valuable new tool to expand where we can observe fish movements."
In addition to regular coordinated experiments with multiple gliders and maximum regional coverage, the project will leverage opportunities to develop regular transects in areas where glider data may be of interest, for example near marine protected areas like Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary and other critical habitat zones designated by the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council.
The glider data will provide valuable information for validation of ocean models—regional models of ocean circulation funded by SECOORA as well as the larger modeling community. Further, the data will be packaged and used to improve ocean model forecasts.
"We're sending all of the glider data to the National Glider Data Assembly Center as it comes in so that it can be assimilated into the U.S. Navy's operational models," Edwards said. "The gliders will improve Navy forecasts on the fly with real time data."
The remainder of the research team includes Chad Lembke from the University of South Florida, Ruoying He from North Carolina State University, Harvey Seim from the University of North Carolina and Fumin Zhang from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Data and maps from the project will be shared freely and made available to the research community, fisheries managers and other stakeholders and the general public in near-real time through SECOORA at http://secoora.org/ and the National Data Buoy Center.

Sing a New Song: Jews, Music, and the Civil Rights Movement
In the 1960s, American Jews made up a large percentage of those white Americans who participated in the Civil Rights Movement. Many of them were motivated by liberal American values, Jewish values, and a belief that they understood the African American experience. At rallies, sit-ins, and marches they stood shoulder to shoulder with African Americans, and they were strengthened by the same freedom songs. This Go & Learn guide uses the letter of a Jewish civil rights activist and several freedom songs to explore how this music, based in African American church music, was able to cross racial and religious boundaries and build community.

Introduction: Jews and the American Civil Rights Movement
In the 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement became a powerful force for social change, bringing together a diverse alliance of African Americans and whites, young students and seasoned activists, liberals and radicals, northerners and southerners for the common cause of eradicating segregation and other forms of racism in America. Jews joined its ranks in disproportionate number, by some estimates representing more than 50% of white civil rights workers. These Jews were drawn to the cause of African American civil rights for a range of reasons including: belief that Judaism requires one to work for justice for all people; desire to achieve the ideals of American equality; identification with the "otherness" of African Americans; memory of the Holocaust and a resulting sense of obligation to prevent racist violence against another group; embarrassment (among young Jews, especially) about the middle-class suburban values of many mid-century American Jews and a desire to find meaningful community elsewhere.
Excerpt of Heather Booth's letter to her brother during Freedom Summer, 1964.
To my brother,
…Last night I was a long time before sleeping, although I was extremely tired. Every shadow, every noise – the bark of a dog, the sound of a car – in my fear and exhaustion was turned into a terrorist's approach…
"We are not afraid. Oh Lord, deep in my heart, I do believe, We Shall Overcome Someday" and then I think I began to truly understand what the words meant. Anyone who comes down here and is not afraid I think must be crazy as well as dangerous to this project where security is quite important. But the type of fear that they mean when they, when we, sing "we are not afraid" is the type that immobilizes… The songs help to dissipate the fear…
Many young Jews were among those who went to Mississippi in the summer of 1964 as part of Freedom Summer, a project led by SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee). SNCC focused on fighting segregation through mass action and local, community-based activity. The Freedom Summer project brought about 1,000 northern students – mostly white, mostly relatively affluent, more than one quarter Jewish – to Mississippi to register voters, help organize the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) as an alternative to the state's all-white Democratic Party, and run Freedom Schools and community centers for local African American communities.
The point of bringing white students to Mississippi was, in part, to take strategic advantage of America's violent racism. The organizers guessed that violence against white northern college students would attract the attention of the government and the nation, whereas commonplace violence against African Americans did not. The federal government would then be forced to protect the civil rights workers and stand up to state authorities. Sadly, this guess was proven correct immediately, when three civil rights workers—James Chaney (21 years old), an African American from Mississippi, and Michael Schwerner (24) and Andrew Goodman (20), both Jews from New York—went missing on their first day in Mississippi in June while investigating the burning of a black church. The bodies of the three men—beaten, shot, and buried in a dam—were found six weeks later. (The search had also uncovered the bodies of seven black men whose disappearance had not garnered any national attention.)
This was not the only incidence of violence faced by the civil rights workers. Over the course of Freedom Summer, at least three other activists were murdered, and volunteers also experienced 1,000 arrests, 80 beatings, 35 shooting incidents, and 30 bombings of homes, churches, and schools. But the intensity of the experience also created a powerful sense of purpose and community, an embodiment of the ideal of the "beloved community" of blacks and whites working together for a common cause.
This communal spirit was heightened by certain practices such as the singing of "freedom songs"—traditional African American spirituals or folk songs about the struggle for freedom and redemption that took on new meaning in the cauldron of the civil rights struggle. The repetitious structure of these songs made them easy to learn, easy to sing as a group, and easy to add to; civil rights activists wrote new verses that mentioned specific people or events important to their experience. Civil rights meetings often began and ended with the singing of freedom songs, reminding activists of the importance (and even holiness) of the work they were doing. Joining voices in song also demonstrated the power of a group—together their voices could shake the walls of a meeting hall. Freedom songs also helped boost spirits and strengthen resolve in jail and during other stressful times; singing was used to counteract fear and help activists remain peaceful when faced with violence. When marchers passed policemen with dogs and angry mobs shouting insults, they would sing louder as if to say "We know you're there, but you can't stop us in our quest for freedom."
Heather Booth was one young Jewish activist who went south for Freedom Summer after her first semester of college. Influenced by a post-high school trip to Yad Vashem, she promised herself to work for justice. She arrived in Mississippi having already been involved with SNCC on campus, as well as with anti-war activism. In a letter she wrote to her brother from Ruleville, Mississippi, she describes the fear that she and the other civil rights workers lived with every day, and the need to overcome the fear so as not to be paralyzed by it. She reflects on the power of singing freedom songs to help dissipate that fear and to remind civil rights workers that their mission was a holy one. "Returning from Mississippi," Booth later reported, "I took with me the lesson that you need to stand up for justice and help others in need—a lesson that resonated deeply with my Jewish beliefs." She went on to help found the first campus women's movement organization and has devoted her life to activism on behalf of women and African Americans.
Though the years after Freedom Summer saw the fracturing of the interracial alliance within the Civil Rights Movement, freedom songs remain a powerful reminder of what a community of activists united by a cause can aspire to and accomplish.

I guess the risque attire thing hasn't made it to the Midwest yet. The last race I ran in April I didn't see anything offensive. Several guys ran without their shirts for part of it, and there were a couple ladies that were just wearing a sports bra. Definitely nothing more revealing than what one would see at a beach or pool. I don't want to see the guys wearing the overly short running shorts and potentially exposing themselves to everyone else, nor do I want to see a lady or a man wearing clothes that are way too small or show off the love handles or fat rolls. But policing a dress code for a run would have it's difficulties.
seriously, if you have carbs left in your brain to care what other people wear, you are just not running hard enough.
Get a grip ;-)
Running hard is part of the issue Stefan...it turns out that scantily clad women and men tend to produce offensive distractions that are, of course, magnified with intense motion.
Get a gripe
lol, Stefan.
I ask that the twig and berries be covered, that's all. Most racers I see wearing very little have very athletic bodies, and I think it's like looking at sculpture. If you're comfortable with how you look, then wear it. Like I said - just keep the boys out of view. Oh, and hairy backs. Wear a shirt, or wax it, man!
I usually wear a shirt because wicking material really does keep me cooler than bare skin, but to each his/her own.
This so bugs me out way too much. I dont even like running skirts and I know that is crazy. Seeing a sports bra girl and a shirtless guy I shudder and wanna puke
REALLY? Who cares....even remotely?
We don't have the right to not be offended. If what somene else is or is not wearing isn't harming me, then I don't see how it should be my business to tell someone else what to wear. Any standard we dictate will be simply relative. What is today considered modest in America would be scandelous by Victorian or Taliban standards. So how much do we need to cover up to reverse our 'moral decay'?
You are correct...It would be difficult to define the standards, but since the RRCA has a long list of etiquette for runners and race events, it seems like they might be able to add a few lines discouraging attire that is overly revealing.
Well, at least they do discourage participants from shedding clothing along the course, so that is a possible hint that crossing the finish line in underwear might be inappropriate.
Again, I understand your point about the specific details and how that might be difficult to detail and enforce. Really, some of it should be common sense, especially at events that are advertised as family-focused with the expectation that a lot of children will be involved.
Good points and probably no easy solutions other than a few broad-based, generic guidelines that would potentially generate some thought.

Mapping gender mainstreaming in elections globally
A mapping exercise is under way to obtain information on gender and elections programming in UNDP country offices. To date there is little systematic tracking and limited baseline data to measure results in this area. Subsequently, adequate technical assistance and advisory support will be provided. A consultant was hired to develop a global mapping tool of UNDP country offices programming on gender, electoral process, political parties and support to electoral management bodies (EMBs). A separate questionnaire is being developed with the aim of collating information on gender mainstreaming practices in EMBs' electoral programming. The mapping will result in baseline data on practices to promote women's participation in electoral processes.

It seems like we're all talking about nausea. Most of my time is spent managing my nausea. But I know that statistically the books say only about 60% of pregnant women are nauseated. If they do exist, I'm incredibly jealous of those 40% who can actually ENJOY their pregnancies, esp. their first trimesters. But DO they exist? How many of us fall into the nausea category?
So with that said, here's a poll.

Why would a company continue to have my book listed with them when I asked them nicely to go our seperate ways ? For this I am being scammed by them. I am asking nicely.. Please take down my book of your website and anyone that you distributed the book to.

Thanks in advance, I love Easing Slider so far. I put an Easing Slider in the header of a test site. The problem is that the images are VERY wide (1680 pixels) and if you resize the browser window down, the slider sticks to the left side of the page, so the right side of the images get chopped off as the page is resized down.
Is there a way that I can force the slider to stay in the center of the header, so that when you resize the page, the slider remains centered? I'll be happy to buy the commercial version if that fixes the problem.

Man arraigned 3rd time for killingJuly 13,2013
HYDE PARK A Wolcott man is pleading not guilty for the third time to a charge he shot and killed his neighbor following an argument 13 years ago.
The legal proceedings against 63-year-old Dennis Tribble began for the third time Friday after the Vermont Supreme Court overturned jury verdicts convicting him after two previous trials.
The Burlington Free Press reported that Tribble acted as his own lawyer Friday with attorney Dan Sedon acting as his standby-counsel.
Tribble refused to attend his first trial in 2002. The verdict was thrown out after the Supreme Court ruled he should have been there.
A lawyer represented him during his 2009 trial, but that verdict was thrown out because the jury heard videotaped testimony about his mental state at the time of the shooting.MORE IN Vermont NewsThe Vermont Supreme Court ruled Friday that brush-hogging a field does not earn an agricultural...

If they match Chelsea and city pound for pound they won't be your club for long - they will be out of business. I just cannot understand how this does not compute. The only thing that matters to you is money money money, and now now now! you're not prepared to be patient, and you dont realise a thing about club finances. no manager is good enough, no player we get in is big enough, all you do is spend your time whingeing. Do you know we're one of the few solvent clubs in the league, run on the lines of the Bundesliga clubs? Every decision the manager makes is slagged off, when we win you don't give him credit, lets face it, if you're a fan I would hate to see an enemy of the club!!!!

Subjects: Programming Languages and Applied Logic , Logic, Categories and Sets
Formal systems that describe computations over syntactic structures occur frequently in computer science. Logic programming provides a natural framework for encoding and animating such systems. However, these systems often embody variable binding, a notion that must be treated carefully at a computational level. This book aims to show that a programming language based on a simply typed version of higher-order logic provides an elegant, declarative means for providing such a treatment. Three broad topics are covered in pursuit of this goal. First, a proof-theoretic framework that supports a general view of logic programming is identified. Second, an actual language called λProlog is developed by applying this view to higher-order logic. Finally, a methodology for programming with specifications is exposed by showing how several computations over formal objects such as logical formulas, functional programs, and λ-terms and π-calculus expressions can be encoded in λProlog.

THE gulf between rich and poor is growing at an alarming rate but does money and a huge house really buy you happiness or is there more to life like community spirit?
The People has gone through the keyhole at both ends of the property market in search of the answer.
We looked at a 104-room mansion in the heart of the celebrity belt and a small end-of-terrace in a crime-ridden fishing port.
Updown Court in Surrey is one of Britain's most expensive homes and is on the market for a bank-busting s75million.
By contrast, the 1950s house in the East Marsh district of cash-strapped Grimsby is on sale for s20,000 making it the cheapest three-bed in the country.
And after visiting both houses, we can reveal luxury does not guarantee a better life because community spirit is priceless.
On paper, there seems to be no contest between the two Updown Court has it all while the Grimsby home, though just a three-hour drive north, is in reality a world away.
And the case against Grimsby gets worse when you look at the statistics.
East Marsh was voted Britain's most crime-hit and deprived area two years ago.
And last month 94 burglaries were reported there compared with four in Windlesham.
But locals in the Humber estuary town insist buyers should not be put off by the official figures, claiming its one of the friendliest places around.
Pensioner Ruby Pensil, 71, said: Ive lived in Grimsby all my life and I would not move why would I want a big, flash house?
I know everyone in the town and there's everything here anyone could need.
At nearby Cottees pub, we were welcomed with open arms by landlord Peter Walker, 55.
He said: There are lots of great people in Grimsby its all about the people you're with, not where you live.
He admitted the town was struggling, with only six of its original 56 pubs still open and the once-busy fishing harbour now catering for fewer and fewer boats.
But he added: People are still as friendly as you get and we just keep going.
In Windlesham close to world-famous Royal Ascot it was a different story. True, three-storey Updown Court is bigger than Buckingham Palace and beggars belief with its luxury.
It has 24 ensuite bedrooms, floors and stairs made of marble worth s9million, five pools, a cinema, bowling alley, squash court, stables and 54 acres of garden.
Going through the gates you pass the home of the live-in security guard meaning theres little chance of being plagued by Asbo yobs. The 300ft drive ends with a red carpet leading to the front door of the 1920s mansion.
And if you don't fancy taking the stairs, you have a choice of lifts including a glass one from the master bedroom to a pool.
On the top floor is a penthouse with a pool on the roof and a viewing room designed for 50 guests. Even if you can rustle up the asking price, it will cost you s130,000 a month just to run and staff the pile.
And that doesn't take into account the price of furnishing all those rooms.
Staff live in houses around the estate, which also has underground parking for eight limos. The grounds boast stables for six horses, a tennis and basketball court and a full-sized pool with bar and entertaining area.
But if you like neighbourly chats, Wind- lesham may not be the place for you.
One local told The People: You buy privacy around here.
We like to do our own thing and keep ourselves to ourselves.
And he heaped scorn on Updown Court, insisting: No one wants that house its hideous, self-indulgent and too big.
Why would you buy it when there are nicer, more subtle places nearby?
Relaxing: Ben checks out bath
Retired stockbroker David Bickley, 68 who was polishing his Aston Martin said: One of the benefits of round here is you don't really have to mix with anyone you wouldn't want to encounter.
You do get things like circles of mums or friends from the golf club but there isn't really a community as such. It might sound harsh but really that's how we like it.
Locals at the nearby Bricklayers pub where s4.10 for a pint is almost twice what it costs in Grimsby were more welcoming.
Jane Finton, 32, said: Its one of the best areas in Britain lovely and quiet.
Yes, its expensive but its worth it. And when the sun is shining there is nowhere you would rather be.
The people are friendly if you know them although it can be a bit cliquey.
The difference in the cost of living between the two places is massive.
In Grimsby, a pint of milk, a small loaf, six eggs, a litre of juice and two toilet rolls at the supermarket will cost s2.42.
The same items at a Waitrose store near Windlesham will set you back a hefty s5.08 more than double. And the difference in price between the two houses is emphasised by the amazing contrast in commission bonuses on offer to the estate agents handling the sales.
In Surrey, the firm will pocket s1.1million if they get the asking price.
Agent Colin Penfold He said: Its not going to be easy to sell as its a lot of money but we've had great interest.
Its amazing to walk around here you can get lost in the house so easily and some of the features are just incredible.
Even to the super-rich this really is a one-off property.
But the Grimsby agents are likely to get just s3,000 when it is sold at auction.
One of them said: Ive seen plenty worse and its good value. It would make a good home for a nice family.

The successful outcomes of our graduates show how they stand out above the crowd. And our alumni stories illustrate the different ways Truman graduates are pursuing lives as capable professionals, engaged citizens, and supportive colleagues.
Picturesque and Lively Learning Community
Dating back to 1867, our beautiful 210-acre campus blends old and new with a mix of historic and contemporary red-brick buildings that provide modern living and learning facilities. Lush green spaces like the Quad and the Sunken Garden and an impressive library filled with natural light and plenty of group study areas make campus a comfortable place to study, make new friends, and socialize.
Truman's vibrant, active campus exemplifies the ideals held by its namesake, Harry S. Truman, who embraced and promoted the value of an affordable, well-rounded education for everyone. We do, too. We pursue it.
"I love the size of Truman. It is small enough that you see people you know everywhere you go, but it is big enough that there are always new people to meet."

This company sent 2 representatives to my home selling magazine subscription. I paid $65.00 for 1 subscription in August 2010. I never received the first issue. I located the names of the company officers-Joanna and Russell Wood. I attempted to contact the company under 3 different phone numbers.
Two numbers were disconnected and the other went to an answering machine. I located a physical address of the two company officers at 1614 Sidney Baker Street in Kerrville, TX 78028. An aditional address of the company was located at 1838 Harpole Road in Tioga, TX 76271.
I researched the company online only to find out that the company was incorporated in TX Tuesday, November 2, 2004 but is not currently active. This is a truly fraudulent company that I regret not researching prior to writing them a check for my subscription or doing any kind of business with them. There has to be some way to stop them! A class action lawsuit is definitely in order here! The company officers must be held accountable along with any and all employees aware that this is a SCAM!

Teatro Massimo - Palermo
Our room was very spacious with high ceilings. One downside is that our room overlooked several "party" bars and there was the plenty of noise at night. This is usually OK, but the doors did not do a good job at sealing out the sound. The bed was quite comfortable but the towels were dried outside and crunchy.

i went to the plugin page, clicked on Download Version 1.0.3, got a .zip file downloaded, double-clicked on the file and got the directory. there's not much there: just a readme.txt file and a category-order.php file. the plugin works fine, by the way!
There is problems with registering menus.

true. the original poster got a corrupted .zip file. i downloaded the .zip and it extracted fine.
with respect to "the plugin works fine", you're right: the key change to make is this:
function wpguy_category_order_menu(){
if (function_exists('add_submenu_page')) {
- add_submenu_page("edit.php", 'Category Order', 'Category
Order', 4, "wpguy_category_order_options", 'wpguy_category_order_options');
+ add_submenu_page("edit.php", 'Category Order', 'Category
Order', 'manage_categories', "wpguy_category_order_options", 'wpguy_category_or
- }
if you want the plugin to work with categories for things other than posts, then there is a little more work to do...
it work for me!

The X700R doesn't get as bright as many projectors we've tested, but that's pretty much its only weakness. It's not really even a weakness, since in a dedicated home theater environment it can get plenty bright enough to achieve its best-in-class contrast with all but the largest screens.
One note before I proceed. I always perform direct comparisons between projectors I have available on the same screen. Usually doing so involves manually blocking the light from all of them except one, then blocking that one and unblocking another, so I can compare the same scene. Comparing the two JVC projectors was much easier since they both responded to the same "Hide" (video mute) command from the remote control. Thus I was able to toggle between the two with the press of a button, allowing quicker, better direct comparisons on the same screen.
|Comparison models (details)
|D-ILA (LCoS) projector
|Epson Home Cinema 5030UB
|LCD projector
Black level and white level: The JVC DLA-X700R delivered the punchiest, highest-contrast image of any projector I've ever tested. That said, in direct comparison against the second-best, JVC's DLA-X35, it wasn't mind-blowingly superior. Both JVCs handily beat the Epson 5030 in this area, however.
My first test material, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," is a black level torture test. In the scenes of the assault on Hogwarts, the X700R did appear a bit darker than the X35 in the darkest areas, but I really had to strain to tell the difference. Details in shadows were almost identical, from the robes of the wizards to the extremely dark shot of the castle on the hill.
A bit later, in the somewhat brighter Room of Requirement scenes, the X700R further widened the distance between it and the X35. The highlights, for example the necklace and the reflections from the furniture, appeared brighter while the black levels remained just inky, providing more contrast and punch. Switching gears to the early scenes of "Drive," another dark tour de force, the contrast advantage of the X700R was even more apparent, again the result of brighter highlights and blacks that remained deep and inky.
The advantage intensified in bright scenes, like the driver's family ride along the LA river, where the X700R really outshone its cheaper brother. Spot measurements confirmed it was visibly brighter in highlights, despite the fact that they were both calibrated to the same maximum light output and gamma targets. I was using the Auto iris setting on the X700R, a feature the X35 lacks, and the X700R's new D-ILA engine might also be a contributor.
Outside of a direct comparison, however, I'd be hard-pressed to pick out which one was which in terms of contrast; the X35 is just that good. Shadow detail between the two JVCs was equally superb after calibration, although I'd give a very slight edge to the Epson here -- a small victory in the face of the JVCs' distinct advantage in black level.
As expected, however, the Epson did enjoy its own marked advantage in light output over the X700R, and even the X35 was a tad brighter than its JVC line-mate. With a full-screen white pattern in the brightest default picture modes (Stage for the JVCs and Dynamic for the Epson), the X700R measured 32.7 fL while the X35 measured 39.1 and the Epson a whopping 82. In lumens, a measurement that eliminates the variable of my screen, that works out to 1.074, 1,284 and 2,694 lumens, respectively (thanks to Chris Heinonen for the lumens calculator).
Color accuracy: Here's an area where the more exact calibration controls of the X700R seemed to pay more dividends, and combined with its extra punch, which also translated to an advantage in color saturation. Its color outperformed both the X35 and the Epson.
The lushness and saturation advantage was immediately apparent after the driver's family stopped alongside the brook, for example, where the warmth of the golden-hour trees and grasses, along with the sun-touched skin of his wife and kid, looked more realistic and satisfying than on the others.
In terms of measurements the X700R did fall very slightly short of the X35's grayscale, but both averaged below the nominal threshold for perception (delta errors of 3). Its main color issue was in blue saturation, something the CMS couldn't address. As blue color errors are typically the least-visible in program material, I don't consider it a major issue--especially because bue luminance was still below Delta 3.
Video processing: The X700R's e-Shift technology is essentially fancy video processing, and while it has its good and bad points, the latter outweigh the former to the extent that true videophiles--you know, the ones who pay eight grand for a home theater projector--will likely want to leave it diabled. Happily, JVC provides the option to do just that in the "MPC" (Multi PIxel Control) menu, along with a few other controls. For the record, we conducted the tests below with those MPC controls, namely Enhance, Dynamic Contrast, Smoothing and NR, zeroed out in an attempt to most closely preserve the source material.
The main advantage to e-Shift in my testing was the elimination of the visible pixel grid when seen from very close distances. From a seat about 7 feet from my 120-inch diagonal screen (around 70 percent of the screen's diagonal) I could barely begin to make out the faint grid of pixels in some material on the 1080p-only X35, or when e-Shift was turned off on the X700R. Turning it on rendered the grid invisible until I got to about two feet from the screen. Of course, most setups will have seating further back than 70 percent of the screen's diagonal, rendering the most visible advantage of e-Shift essentially moot.
Even from that close distance I didn't see any increase in visible detail when I engaged e-Shift, or when I switched back and forth quickly between the X35 and the e-Shifted X700R. I looked carefully at some of the most detailed, revealing scenes from "Sarsara," for example the monks' mandala in Chapter 4 and the cliff dwellings in Chapter 5, and there was no real difference in sharpness or resolution.
On the other hand I did notice a couple of small artifacts seemingly caused by e-Shift. As the camera moved over the prayer wheel right before the children spin it (9:26), a horizontal edge of the gold scrollwork shimmered slightly--an effect that disappeared when I disabled e-Shift or watched the X35. I also saw more movement and shimmer in the slats of the computer monitors (18:35) with e-Shift on. Yes, both were subtle, and the only artifacts I saw in program material over hours of viewing, but combined with the artifacts I witnessed in test patterns, I'd recommend disabling e-Shift for peak performance unless you're sitting quite close or very sensitive to pixel grid effects.
Turning to test patterns I noticed e-Shift impaired the projector's motion resolution in certain settings. When I engaged smoothing (aka the Soap Opera Effect) by turning Clear Motion Drive to the Low position with e-Shift turned on, motion resolution dropped. In Low the projector mustered 600 lines with e-Shift off and 300 with it on. On the other hand e-Shift didn't have any apparent effect on my standard motion resolution test in either the Off or High Clear Motion Drive settings. Still, if you're sensitive to motion blur and want to use a smoothing setting to offset it, either avoid Low or turn off e-Shift.
I also subjected the JVC to a variety of motion patterns from the "Spears and Munsil HD Benchmark," and in Low and High positions e-Shift generally created more artifacts. In the demanding 48 pixel-per-frame Resolution patterns, for example, there was more breakup in both modes with e-Shift engaged. In the Off position, on the other hand, these patterns looked pretty much the same whether e-Shift was on or off.
In case you're wondering, with film-based sources I prefer the overall look of Low to High, and Off to either one. The JVC reproduced the cadence of 1080p/24 without a hitch when in the Off position. In the other two positions, as usual, smoothing was quite pronounced, and occasionally introduced haloing and other artifacts in program material.
The X700R also offers an "Inverse Telecine" mode under Clear Motion Drive, designed to extract proper film cadence from 60i/60p images, namely DVD and TV, originally shot on film. In test patterns, including our standard HQV de-interlacing test and a series of more demanding tests from "Spears," the JVC did quite well. I didn't see any difference between its performance in Off or Inverse Telecine mode, however, so we'd just leave it turned to Off.
The X700R's input lag measured a pathetic 125ms, which is nearly the worst we've ever tested. I used the post-calibration User mode for this test since the projector lacks a dedicated Game mode. Disabling e-Shift or Clear Motion Drive didn't have any major effect.
4K sources: One of the advertised benefits of JVC's e-Shift-equipped projectors is the ability to accept 4K sources. I don't have many such sources on hand, but I used what I could to evaluate whether there's any benefit to 4K compared to 1080p sources on this projector. In short, I didn't see any.
Thanks to David Mackenzie of HDTVTest, I have a few pieces of the same footage in both 4K (3,840x2,160) and 1080p (1,920x1,080) format, which I used to compare the e-Shifted X700A directly to the standard 1080p X35. I connected each to separate computers playing back the same piece of content simultaneously at native resolution and, thanks to the Hide function described above, switched quickly back and forth between the two to compare. Aside from differences in color, they looked basically the same -- there was no additional detail discernible in the 4K version.
For what it's worth the color difference was marked, however, with the X700R looking quite a bit more saturated, and seemingly less accurate, overall. I suspect that has something to do with my calibration for standard 1080p not translating well for those particular 4K sources. Regardless, my main takeaway is that, based on the limited content I compared, there doesn't seem to be much benefit to feeding the X700R a 4K source compared to a 1080p one.
Bright lighting: As I said with the X35 -- and it applies even more in the higher-performance X700R's case -- it's a huge waste of this projector's potential to have any lights on in the room. If you must, however, know that it's not going to fare as well as something like the Epson or the BenQ W1070. On our 120-inch diagonal Stewart StudioTek 130 screen, the image predictably looked very washed-out, and glare from the overhead lighting was visible.
It's worth noting that the JVC doesn't have a mode obviously designated for brighter viewing environments; the closest I saw was "Stage." Fan noise is also pretty loud on the JVC you engage the "High" lamp power modes, which is a prerequisite for bright-room viewing. Long story short: if you don't have a room you'll be keeping essentially lightless for most of your projector viewing sessions, skip this home theater powerhouse and get a cheaper, brighter projector.
3D: Although not quite the equal of the bright, nearly crosstalk-free Epson in this arena, the JVC X700R was a very good performer with 3D sources -- and equal in general to the X35. I checked out "Hugo" (still one of the most demanding 3D Blu-rays with its complex shots and extreme depth), and that bugaboo of active 3D, crosstalk, was comfortably minimized by both JVCs.
As Hugo's gaze falls on Georges Méliès from his perch behind the clock, for example, the tinker's sleeve and collar show only a bit of the double image. Later, as Hugo reaches for the toy, his popped-out hand again showed only minimal ghosting. Same for the tuning pegs on the guitar (7:49) and the head of the inspector as he threatens Hugo (44:27). Both JVC projectors looked basically identical in terms of crosstalk, but neither reduced ghosting quite as well as the Epson.
Color and black levels were very good in the default THX 3D setting (we don't calibrate for 3D sources). JVC's specs were quite comfortable, even over my prescription glasses, and I preferred their fit to Epson's glasses somewhat. The JVC glasses also fit much better than the flimsy Samsungs. On the other hand the Samsung glasses' picture quality wasn't markedly worse than the JVCs'.
