Probably haven't heard of this guy mentioned in the top WR prospects because he's only a RS sophomore and JUCO transfer but he has been a beast in the few games I've seen him play in, including today against UCLA.
6'4", 210 lbs. with really strong hands. One of those receivers who doesn't have the best speed but knows how to catch the ball when it's thrown to him. I've been a proponent of trying to draft a tall receiver like Mike Evans or Jordan Matthews in the first round but wouldn't mind targeting some other position or smaller WR like Brandin Cooks and then go after Strong in the 2nd-3rd round. Thoughts from any others who have seen him?

Breakfast Tacos from Jenna & Mark of Sweet Fine Day
Mark and I don't have regular 9-5 jobs so weekends and weekdays often blend together, but we do have small kids that go to school. This makes mornings really rushed and hectic as we try to prepare lunches for school and get everyone out the door in time. As a result, breakfast on school days get predictable and repetitive (cereal, yogurt, etc) so we try to cook a nice breakfast on Sunday mornings. Mark and I have been on a big taco kick lately. I also have this insatiable addiction to pickled jalapeño peppers and I'll want to put them on everything. I was craving a taco one morning and he whipped up this creation with stuff that was in our fridge. The addition of sweet potatoes is a bit unexpected, but delicious, and the pickled onions (and jalepeños of course!) really make the dish.
This breakfast simultaneously hits all the taste sensations, making it incredibly balanced and bright in flavor: sweetness from the potatoes, salty and sour from the pickled onions, and richness from the eggs. It's both light and hearty, a great weekday breakfast for a big day ahead or leisurely weekend morning. This may be the perfect morning–after anecdote to the big Thursday meal. I think it would be delightful to carry on one of the major ingredients of Thanksgiving, but with such a kicky twist! And the pickled onions -- well those you'll just want to put on everything. They are very addictive, you've been warned.
Breakfast Tacos
(makes 4 tacos)
1/2 cup white wine vinegar (for the pickled onions)
1/2 cup sugar (for the pickled onions)
1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
6 Tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 corn tortillas
Sour Cream
Pickled Jalapeño Peppers
Chopped lettuce
Diced avocado or guacamole
First, prepare the pickled red onions. Bring the vinegar and sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan. Stir in the sliced red onions, and continue to simmer until the onions are wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
Next prepare the sweet potatoes. Heat half of the olive oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. Add the sweet potatoes and cook until tender and golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Now prepare the eggs. Heat the remaining oil in the same frying pan on high heat. Scramble the eggs with the salt, then pour into the hot pan. Stir and fry until the eggs are fully cooked. Set aside.
Finally, assemble the tacos. Hold each tortilla over an open flame to soften it, about 15 seconds per side. Place some cooked eggs in the center of each tortilla along with some cooked sweet potato and pickled onions. Add toppings as desired, fold the sides of the tortillas over the filling, and serve immediately.
Thanks Jenna and Mark for contributing to our Breakfast with a Blogger series!

Free For All
If you long for the days of running to class just as the bell rings or discussing the impact of global warming, sign up for one of the 32 free public courses being offered by the University of Denver as part of the Bridges to the Future project.
A year-long joint venture of DU and Colorado State University, the program explores American history and values and how they shape our future. Retired General H. Norman Schwarzkopf and former Senator John Glenn have already given lectures, and the spring lineup includes Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Cardinal Francis George of Chicago.
Starting on January 6, DU is offering two sessions of the four-course non-credit seminars on such topics as A Search for a Simpler Way of Life, Religious Diversity in America, Cross-Cultural Awareness in a Post 9/11 World and Living in the Shadow of Vietnam: Debating War After the 1960s. If that's too soon, wait for the spring series that starts March 3.
"We wanted to offer classes that are compelling and interesting to the public in terms of what we are dealing with right now as a country," says Christian Hawley, a university spokeswoman. "They are all very, very thought-provoking."

Called them and told them what happened. First time around, lady was pleasant, but claimed they had no record of my payment. She told me to write them a letter. I did. No response.
I obtained a copy of the $150 transaction from my bank proving ABC cashed my money. I mailed this copy in May along with another letter asking for my money back. No answer. I now have been unemployed since March. That $150 could be put to better use than their bank account.

Photodynamic therapy with hematoporphyrin derivative in the treatment of superficial transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder.
Urology Service, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston 02114.
Photodynamic therapy involves light-induced destruction of tumors containing a photosensitizer such as hematoporphyrin derivative. We conducted a collaborative study to evaluate the efficacy of this form of therapy in treating superficial transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder. Thirty-seven patients were evaluated and 20 were selected for treatment. A total of 50 papillary tumors and 3 areas of carcinoma in situ were treated. All except two tumors were smaller than 2.5 cm. Assessments for treatment response and toxicity were carried out three months after treatment. The initial diagnosis of one patient was revised after the biopsy material was reviewed, and this patient was not included in the analysis. Complete eradication of all tumors was observed in 9 of 19 patients (47 percent), including those with carcinoma in situ. In the remaining 10 of these 19 patients, 13 tumors could not be eradicated (the overall eradication rate was 37 of 50 tumors [74 percent]), but 9 of the 10 patients had a reduction in tumor size, number, or both of 50 percent or more. We conclude that photodynamic therapy is useful in the treatment of superficial transitional-cell carcinoma of the bladder, but controlled trials will be required to define its place in the treatment of cancer.

I'm combining 13 wordpress sites into one and everything is working fine with one small exception.
For the primary site, WordPress automatically adds the word "blog" to the URL for post permalinks.
URLs that I want to read: domain.com/2010/07/13/post-name/
instead read: domain.com/blog/2010/07/13/post-name/
This is horrible for me because it's breaking all of my permalinks. Is there a way to fix this without editing the core wordpress install or creating a plugin?

We are excited to welcome aboard Xavier Morales to The Praxis Project as our new executive director!
When Xavier joined Praxis' board of directors almost two years ago, we were thrilled he chose Praxis to apply his lifelong passion for building healthy communities. He also brought his extensive health policy and coalition building experience as executive director of the Latino Coalition for a Healthy California.
We hope your 2016 has been filled with reflection, inspiration and opportunities to put theory to action. Praxis kicked off 2016 with a planning retreat at the W. Haywood Burns Institute's beautiful office in downtown Oakland. While we could not get ourselves in sync to get a proper group photo, we united in our shared passion to develop a robust and exciting Praxis work plan while having many good laughs, of course!
Scratch beneath the surface of the tension between law enforcement and the Black community and we find The New Jim Crow staring back - the "caste-like system in the U.S that has resulted in millions of African Americans locked behind bars" as detailed in Michelle Alexander's book of the same name. Look at Chicago, where the people are taking over police stations in anger and grief and struggle after the release of the video of the murder of LaQuan McDonald, shot 16 times by a white police officer. Look at Minneapolis. Look at Cleveland. Don't take your eyes away from Ferguson, from Baltimore, from North Charleston.
Just two months before Ferguson, MO exploded into protest against police violence, Ta-Nehisi Coates' essay "The Case for Reparations" appeared in the June 2014 issue of The Atlantic. Almost exactly one year after this groundbreaking essay insists America maturate through the payment of reparations to African Americans, the City of Chicago created a reparations program for the survivors and victims of systematic police torture from the 1970s to the early 1990s--a program that could serve as a model for communities seeking justice, both in the future and for the past.

Almost one year ago in Ferguson, MO, police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Mike Brown and left him lying in the street. Since then, the list of names of unarmed Black people whose lives have been taken by the police keeps growing.

Bob Arum Explains Further on His Anger With MGM Grand
By Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Top Rank's CEO, Bob Arum, sat down with BoxingScene.com to further explain his anger with the MGM Grand.
As previously reported, Arum lashed out at the MGM during the final press conference for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Timothy Bradley HBO Pay-Per-View rematch, which takes place at the venue on Saturday night.
Arum has been furious over the venue's heavy display of promotional items related to the upcoming Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maidana Showtime Pay-Per-View on May 3rd.
During the end of the press conference, with a stunned Richard Sturm [President of MGM Grand Entertainment] sitting right beside the podium, Arum unleashed his fury.
"I'm not going to say it....the hell with it - I know the Venetian would never make a mistake like this, they knew what fight was scheduled in three or four days and they wouldn't have a 12-1 fight all over the building that's going to take place in three weeks from next Saturday. That's why one company makes a billion dollars a quarter and the other hustles to pay it's debt [referring to the MGM]. There it is, say it like it is," Arum said to a stunned crowd.
Arum also notes that both of Saturday's main eventers, and their camps, felt disrespected.
"Michael Konzc pointed it our first. And did you see the look Manny gave me? Manny was pissed and so was Bradley. They gotta kiss our ass before we come back," Arum said to BoxingScene.com.
Regarding Mayweather's massive promotional items outside of the building, a third-party advertising company controls the space and MGM is contractually unable to remove them. Mayweather has reportedly purchased the space for the entire year.
Arum confirms that the MGM informed him of the circumstances related to the Mayweather items outside of the venue, but his main concern were the Mayweather-Maidana items being significantly featured inside of the venue.
According to Arum, company President Todd duBoef complained to Sturm regarding the issue - and Sturm explained to duBoef that Mayweather-Maidana was struggling to sell tickets, and as a result the MGM did not remove those promotional items during Pacquiao-Bradley fight week.
There are contractual clauses which prevent a venue from promoting an unrelated event from a direct competitor, but Arum says those clauses were never included, in the agreement with the MGM, because this has never happened to him in the past.
"We didn't put in there because nobody would ever do it," Arum said.
"Never has anything like this [happened to me]...ever, ever. We've had guys say 'Bob, we would appreciate it if the fight, if we could put it on the board that night.' And we say 'okay, yes' or 'okay, no.' But at least they would ask, but generally we wouldn't care because [by] then everything was done. Luckily we've virtually sold out here, but it's just the whole f***ing idea."
Another issue, says Arum, is the sponsorship conflict. Tecate has paid Top Rank a lot of money to be the official beer of Pacquiao-Bradley. But Mayweather-Maidana is sponsored by rival beer company Corona, which was featured in countless promotional items inside the venue.
"What about a rival beer company? Tecate has paid a lot of money to be the sponsor and they got Corona all over the f***ing building. Give me a break," Arum said.
"I wanted to go over to the Venetian and get Venetian jackets and wear them at the press conference."
[QUOTE=flem1;14409575]Mayweather/Maidana struggling to sell tickets???[/QUOTE] You believe Arum? I don't. I heard it's the exact opposite, that Pacquiao Bradley 2 is having a hard time selling tickets. now all of a sudden Arum is saying they are virtually sold out.…Comment by JDD1 on 04-10-2014

I somehow doubt Mayweather is struggling to sell tickets. I believe the Pacquiao fight is probably projected to do badly and it's why Arum is lashing out here. Otherwise why be so angry about it? If the MGM grand said,…Comment by nycsmooth on 04-10-2014

Okay so after my well the only word for it is rant about GM 4747 I decided that it might be fun to say something about game patches and speculation about them.
I'm a member of the official Sports Interactive forums. SI are the creators of probably the biggest Sports management game series ever, Football Manager. If you don't know the game you may be more familiar with the name Championship Manager or even NHL Eastside Hockey Manager. However the speculation I want to address is for Football Manager or as it's known over there FM.
Now SI release the game sometime around the beginning of November every year and due to the fact that fans of the game have found bugs in the demo that is released there is always a launch day patch. Now Si have a programme of usually releasing 3 patches over the course of the games life and the 3rd one is always after the european transfer window for Football (I refuse to call it soccer) teams has closed at the end of January. This means usually sometime in February as the patch isn't just a database update but also address any bugs that have been reported as well as improving the game's match engine.
Now as soon as the window shuts the threads asking about when the new patch will be released start appearing. Usually these are closed down straight away but one thread has remained open due to the mod's deciding it's better to have one patch for speculation and initially this thread was quite light hearted.
The thread is [url=http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/254532-Patch-Speculation-There-s-no-point-in-discussing-it...but...]Here[/url] if anybody is interested in having a read through it. Now it's funny to read the thread as people are speculating on a release date at first but as it goes on there are more and more insults have been thrown around at the Developers, Mods and also the general users of the forums.
Now I know all game companies are different in having any kind of schedule for releasing patches and most companies don't even release any info about them or even if they have a strategy for them being released. Bethesda usually just releases the patch around the same time as a fix list is posted in the Bethsoft forums. I don't know if this is the same for other companies but it seems as though it's the best idea.
Now I think the reason people speculate about patches now is that you have developers who are pushed to hard deadlines by publishers and as such in this day and age release games that are buggy and need several patches before they work properly. This is across all platforms now even though it has been going on for years on PC. I understand the reasoning for the patches etc and I can understand why Publishers push the devs so hard to meet the deadline as game development is an expensive business and they want to recoup their money as quick as they can. This then leads to a patch being released (although Activision could just not give a green light for a patch and still make millions off a buggy game).
The final thing to say is a question. What's the point in speculating about a patch for a game when the developers will either say it's out when it's out or nothing at all?
Thanks for reading.

I wish I'd know about this site almost 4 yrs ago when I was battling Ovarian Cancer. I am a nurse, and do have insurance etc. But working in a busy ER was of concern to me and my doctors as I would have been exposed to so many bugs etc. But looking back, I think its something I should have done!! It would have given me, my colleagues, and even pts a spark of positivity that you CAN work through the illness.
Also, part of what prevented me from being at work was the uncertainty of how I would feel after each treatment.Would I feel tired, sick, itchy, anything??? AND would I FEEL like looking after someone else?? Would I want to be running around, dealing with critically ill people and having to think on my feet...my ability to be a fully functioning and safe RN was more important....so I didn't work. Another factor was how much could I work, if I was claiming disability, could I work a certain amount of hours with no hassles.....I didn't know. Come to find out, I most likely could have worked.......................glad to see this site....I will pass it on to others! xoxoxoxoxo from an 'almost' 4 yr survivor! xoxoxoox

d20 World of Darkness
First off, I'd like to talk about what people have done with converting White Wolf's World of Darkness to d20 rules. I'm not wanting to start a debate over whether it is a stupid or interesting idea; that is an unconstructive debate that would get unnecessarily ugly. This is also not a thread to start false rumors of the World of Darkness going d20; it is not going to be published in a d20 format; I'm just kinda having fun with some alternatives here.
So, now that I have that out of the way, who has messed with this and what have you done? There are a number of mechanical issues to handle, whether additional mechanics are used from other products or you create your own.
A lot of my ideas have been influenced by the Spycraft/Stargate mechanics. To start off, I'd say that a grittier system should be adopted. Wounds/Vitality should be used instead of regular Hit Points. I would also use a variant of Spycraft's "Departments" to give characters' background mechanics to build from (for those that have not read it, Spycraft's Departments (character background origins) replace D&D's races-mechanic; it reflects natural aptitudes given in early character development).
Each clan of vampires would be a separate template (jokes about being 5th level Brujah/3rd level Toreador are solved ), and classes could be something a bit more generic than in most other d20 games. To simulate the versatile rates of advnacement in WW games, each time a character goes up in level, he could choose to either 1) increase base attack, 2) obtain extra skill points, 3) get an extra feat, etc etc etc. Something like that.
Anyways, let me see what sort of intrest there might be in this and I'll check back and elaborate later.Oh yeah? Well, life sucks! Get a freakin' helmet!
- Denis Leary (well...sort of)
Legally drunk...Well, if it's legal, what's the freakin' problem?!? Hey! Leave my friend alone, officer. He's "legally" drunk!

Use d20 Modern. Vampire clans as templates is a good idea, if you want to use clans at all. I don't think they are necessary but that's not what we're here to discuss.Originally Posted by Cbas10
Add Discipline talent trees, which can be chosen from whenever your character would normally be able to pick a talent (roughly every 2nd level). You should probably mix up the disciplines a bit so that five discipline ranks becomes three talents, or you could keep disciplines at five ranks, make disciplines separate from Talents and hand one out on every level. Also add feats which improve on Disciplines, to allow for greater customization. Thaumaturgy will probably need a whole chapter on its own, possibly with a prestige class or advanced class tagged on to show how difficult it's supposed to be to learn it.
WoD vampires actually need blood to live, which d20 vampires don't seem to do, so the vampire templates must be altered to reflect on this. I suggest a blood pool, but not limited to 10 points. Generation would be a hard concept to translate anyway, it should probably be represented by one or more feats, if at all. The blood pool should be 5 points per HD. Every day of rest you lose 5 blood points. One blood point can be spent to restore 1 hit point. Draining blood would actually remove hit points as well as con from the victim, transform the hit points into blood points and add them to the vampire's pool.
Virtues, humanity, degeneration, frenzy and rötschrek can either be ignored or added on top of the normal d20 system. I would make Virtues into special modifiers to Will saves when trying to resist degeneration, frenzy and rötshreck, respectively. Humanity would just be a 10-point scale, as usual.
That's my quick and dirty suggestion.

WoD d20
Actually I had wrote a conversion some time back, but It just didn't set right with me. I am thinking about revisiting the thing using the levelless system from the Godlike SRD where everything costs experience and level is simply a way of determining your general power level. But that is for another time as I have to get my thesis written.
Edit: I also have the GURPs WoD books and was going to use them as a guideline also.

Monte Cook's d20 WoD is mostly for the new WoD, not the classic with a little bit of his own material.
I would like to see a d20 conversion for the classic WoD myself. I am working on one, but I haven't put anything up on my blog yet. It is going to be modeled after Monte Cook's d20 Call Of Cthulhu. But I am keeping things simple for ease of play.
For an example of the differences, for Werewolf The Apocalypse there are eleven tribes that are available as player characters, not five and for Vampire the Masquerade there are twelve clans that are available as player characters. In D20 WoD there are only about four or five.
But there are some things that don't translate well from WoD into d20. Gnosis, from WtA and some Vampire Disciplines, such as Celerity.

I bought Monte Cooks' WoD d20. I like the book but the thing to keep in mind it's based on the new WoD.

I booked a hotel for my stay in Miami. The Deauville Beach Resort, it looks good when advertised but.... The second you get to the hotel they start with the hidden charges. 20 parking fee a day- or you feed the meters all day for about 28 dollars a day- or you can park 300 feet away on Harding Ave for free!!! This information was not given to us so the hotel can scam all the traveler out of an extra 140 dollars a week!!!
Then you have your resort fee. Also not mentioned till you get to the hotel. The fee is 7 dollars a day. Then you have your nice Internet service fee. The fee is 12 dollars a day!!! 12 dollars!!! Nice Scam artist we have down in Miami. When we got to the room it had two twin beds!!! The view was of a construction site and the ice machines were all empty. Why would I need a cold drink in 90-degree Miami??? Well the hotel sure doesn't.
The staff were rude not helpful at all only to ask for money. The washing machine on site had rust!!! Forget about washing your cloths after a day at the beach. This hotel is not as advertised and is well below the money it ask for.
I am attempting to recover some of my fee but after seeing the treatment they gave me as a guess I am confident that they will laugh about the whole experience and continue to practice the deceitful practice they have been for so long!!!

Book value helps you understand how much everything is worth right now if you suddenly need to liquidate (or are just applying for a business loan).
Caterpillar Tractor bought a smelting stove to melt iron at high temperatures. They paid $10 million for it. It should last 20 years and then they can sell it for scrap for $2 million. Using advanced calculus, we can ascertain that it will have depreciated $8 million in the 20 years that they use it. Using arithmetic depreciation, it will have declined in value $8 million / 20 = $400,000 per year in value. By year 10 of having owned the smelting stove, it will have depreciated $4 million. The book value of that stove will be held on the balance sheet of CAT as $6 million.

The Ubuntu One Music Store Now Online
Just missing the beta deadline, Ubuntu has today placed the version 10.04 of the new Music Store online for testing.
Tracks will cost between 77 and 99 cents. For premium labels, available in USA, UK and Germany only, Ubuntu are asking 1.49 Euros (Euro Shop)
per song. The first 60 seconds of each track can be heard as a teaser. With a seamless integration in Rhythmbox, the quality of the MP3 recordings
lies between 192 and 320 Kbs, regardless of price.
Users actually wishing to buy music, should be a little patient. The current version comes with hold-ups at the checkout, sometimes causing Rhythmbox to crash. Probably best then to wait for the stable final version.
Spotify on Ubuntu 10.04Are there ways around this blocking of Spotify?? Wine and Spotify should work beyond Ubuntu restrictions????
Ubuntu one music storeUbuntu one music store may be OK for those that want to buy music but it is at the cost of those who prefer Spotify !
Spotify is now a banned item in ubuntu 10.04 beta,it will not complete installation cos they say it is not a safe item ! ! !
It may seem cynical to say that ubuntu have discovered that Spotify is no longer safe at just the same time as ubuntu music store is launched?
No other distro to my knowledge has any problem with Spotify and it is appalling that a distro that says it prizes free software should have such dual standards when cash income from paid for music comes above free choice !
Cannonical are Hypercrictal,its all about money !
Does anyone else feel that this is wrong ?

Would You Go to Work for Tepco?
Junior management jobs at Tokyo Electric Power Co. might be secure for now, with the risk of bankruptcy for the embattled utility having receded somewhat, thanks to pledges of government support.

But it would take a new college graduate with a very particular character to think about starting a career in management at a company battling with Japan's worst-ever nuclear accident, soaring compensation costs and a plummeting share price.
But while the president of the much-troubled utility admits to doubts about whether students will be interested in joining the company, he says he's determined to continue attracting new managerial talent to the company, despite the multitude of hurdles it faces.
"We decided to forgo next year's (round of annual) recruitment since we are facing an unprecedented crisis. But to be honest, we want to keep hiring even if the number is small," Tepco President Toshio Nishizawa said in an interview Thursday. The utility had planned to hire 1,100 new employees in spring 2012 when college graduates come onto the job market. "It is important to continue hiring personnel and inject new blood into the organization," he said.
The 60-year-old chief of Tepco, appearing slightly weary, conceded he has concerns about recruitment. "With many risks still ahead, we are far from feeling any relief," Mr. Nishizawa said.
In point of fact, leaving the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis aside, utility companies have never really been popular destinations for new graduates in the face of competition from the likes of big global blue chips like Panasonic Corp., All Nippon Airways Co., and Shiseido Co.
But when asked what message he might send to try to encourage future applicants to consider Tepco, Mr. Nishizawa said there is light at the end of the tunnel.
He emphasized that the company will continue making investments to enhance the value of its core business in supplying electricity. "Tepco will cease to exist if we lose the mentality of taking on risks and challenges," Mr. Nishizawa said. "We would not be a private company if we simply stay afloat by neglecting growth and development."
Still, prospects for growth at the company seem a very long way off indeed. Any profits generated in the near term will effectively go toward covering compensation payments to those affected by the nuclear accident. And while Tepco is thought likely to have to raise prices to help finance compensation, the public – and the government – seem unlikely to accept higher electricity bills without mammoth restructuring on its part.

The office looks cheap and is kept disgusting. On several occasions I worked with roaches and rodents. The CEO of this company is a compulsive liar, not to mention alcoholic, that owes money to every single investor, check cashing store, and employee, in the cities of Hialeah, Medley, Doral, and Kendall.
This company has moved over 7 times in the past 5 years, leaving debt piled up and never paid any of it. They tell their employees to LIE, and say there is merchandise when there is none, and charge numerous amounts of credit cards without ever shipping merchandise. This place is a headache, and a complete FRAUD!!!!! I do not recommend ANYONE to purchase from or work for this company. You will truly feel cheated and will absolutely regret ever even considering it. Not to mention the products are extremely low quality, and priced very high. No matter how much I sold, there was never any money.

On the Elasticity of the Cochlear Partition20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906367View Description Hide Description
A number of special techniques are described which are necessary in preparing the cochlea. Using these, the elasticity of the cochlear partition is determined as a function of locus along the canal. It is demonstrated that the production of undertones is very improbable because of the form of vibration in the cochlear partition and because the basilar membrane possesses no inherent stress.
The Comparative Performance of an Experimental Hearing Aid and Two Commercial Instruments20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906368View Description Hide Description
An experimental hearing aid, two representative commercial models, and a high fidelity audio‐amplification system were explored in a series of systematic articulation tests with hard‐of‐hearing subjects as listeners. The experimental hearing aid was designed to determine to what extent certain desirable design objectives could be incorporated in a portable hearing aid. A technical description of the experimental instrument is given in an appendix. The paper describes the experimental methods and testing equipment employed and summarizes the results in the form of articulation curves obtained from six hard‐of‐hearing listeners. The method adequately brings out performance differences in the four instruments and shows the superiority of the experimental hearing aid over the commercial instruments for most subjects.
Effects of High Pass and Low Pass Filtering on the Intelligibility of Speech in Noise20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906369View Description Hide Description
The effect on intelligibility of eliminating either the high frequency speech sounds or the low frequency speech sounds was determined by standardized articulation testing procedures under the special circumstance of a background of white masking noise. In general, it was found that intelligibility increased as the frequency range and the intensity level of the speech signal were increased. Contours are presented which describe the interrelations among (1) the frequency range of the speech signal, (2) the intensity level of the speech signal, and (3) articulation efficiency.
For each of the experimental conditions, the articulation index—a measure developed by the Bell Telephone Laboratories—was computed. It was found that the scatter of the computed indices, when plotted against the scores actually obtained, was of the same order of magnitude as the intrinsic variability of typical articulation scores. This result indicates that the computational procedures are an acceptable substitute for time‐consuming articulation testing when an approximate assessment of the relative efficiencies of a series of communication systems is required and when a background noise is encountered like the white noise of this study.
It was found that the relative contribution of the various speech frequencies was not constant, but rather was a function of the intensity of the speech signal relative to the constant white noise masking signal. More specifically, as the intensity level of the speech signal was increased, the relative contribution to intelligibility of the higher speech frequencies increased.
Absorption‐Frequency Characteristics of Plywood Panels20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906370View Description Hide Description
This paper gives the results of measurements of the absorption coefficients of panels made from birch plywood, using the standardized test procedure of the Acoustical Materials Association. In the range from 128 to 512 cycles measurements were made at interoctave frequencies in order to take account of the marked resonances shown. Effects of thickness of the plywood, of the air space back of the panels, and of absorbent backing were investigated, as well as that of damping material applied to the plywood. Measurements were also made on splayed assemblies of panels placed vertically against the wall of the reverberation chamber. The measurements showed that prefabricated portable panels of the type investigated afford an easily applied means of varying the absorption‐frequency characteristics of rooms of moderate size.
Secondary Pressure Pulses Due to Gas Globe Oscillation in Underwater Explosions. I. Experimental Data20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906371View Description Hide Description
Pressure waves emitted by the oscillating gas globe in underwater explosions of T.N.T. have been recorded at depths great enough to render small the perturbation effects due to migration of the bubbles under the influence of gravity. The first eight periods of oscillation have been measured and the pressure‐time curves analyzed in order to obtain peak pressure, positive impulse, and energy flux resulting from the first two pulses. The scaling of pressure pulse parameters with charge size is examined.
Secondary Pressure Pulses Due to Gas Globe Oscillation in Underwater Explosions. II. Selection of Adiabatic Parameters in the Theory of Oscillation20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906372View Description Hide Description
A summary is given of the theory of pulsation of a stationary gas globe in an infinite incompressible fluid. If three parameters appearing in the formulation are selected by fitting the equations to three independent experimental results, it is shown that the theory fits the remaining experimental results and can be used to predict bubble pulse properties over wide ranges of the independent variables.
The Absorption of Sound in Suspensions of Irregular Particles20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906373View Description Hide Description
The greater part of the absorption of sound in aqueous suspensions of small spherical particles can be attributed to the viscous drag between the fluid and the particles in the sound field. The absorption resulting from this process is found to agree with that obtained by Lamb in another manner. The applicability of the theoretical result to suspensions of irregular particles is examined by means of measurements on sand and kaolin suspensions, using a pulse‐reflection method at megacycle frequencies. Approximate agreement with the idealized theory is found as the particle size, viscosity, and frequency are varied.
The Magnetostrictive Radial Vibrator20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906374View Description Hide Description
A description is given of a radial vibrator used in underwater sound signaling. A technique is presented for providing a plastic cast to protect the windings which serves to improve rather than decrease the potential efficiency. Data are presented to show the operating characteristics of these sound sources.
A Hydrophone Suspension System20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906375View Description Hide Description
A description of apparatus for suspending two transducers in a tank of water is given. The design is such that the positions and orientations of the transducers may be easily adjusted for a variety of arrangements.
Characteristics of Stepped‐Frequency Transducer Elements20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906376View Description Hide Description
A common method of making transducers with broad frequency responses is to use ensembles of resonant subelements of slightly different frequencies. The theory, design, construction, and tests of a transducer of this type are presented in this paper. Six subelements of three different natural frequencies about 6 percent apart were used. The subelements consisted of magnetostrictive laminated nickel stacks, which were mechanically isolated from each other but linked by a common electrical winding. The relationships between the amplitude and phase responses of the unit as functions of frequency were determined experimentally and compared with the theory. The efficiency of transformation of energy was determined for the frequencies of maximum response. All the characteristics of the stepped‐frequency transducer are compared to those of a less resonant, single‐frequency transducer of comparable breadth of frequency response. It is found that the stepped‐frequency transducer can be no more efficient than its single‐frequency equivalent, and that its amplitude and phase response characteristics average about the same as the single‐frequency equivalent but are more irregular. In the stepped‐frequency transducer there are two frequency intervals in which the phase may remain stationary or actually decrease with an increase in frequency, but these intervals occur at the amplitude response minima. It is concluded that in practical transducer design slightly resonant single‐frequency elements are superior to those made of ensembles of more resonant subelements of several different frequencies.
Reflection of Sound from Coastal Sea Bottoms20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906377View Description Hide Description
An experimental method has been developed for measuring the reflection coefficient of the ocean bottom for supersonic sound at grazing incidence. In this method the geometry is controlled so that the resultant of the direct and reflected rays passes through consecutive maxima and minima at the hydrophone. The amplitude reflection coefficient is given by the expression , where M is the amplitude of a maximum and m is the amplitude of the following minimum. Using this method, with a grazing angle of nine degrees, the following values were obtained for the reflection coefficients at 17 stations near Woods Hole: mud—0 to 0.20, mud‐sand—0.20 to 0.40, sand‐mud—0.40 to 0.60, sand—0.40 to 0.85, stony—0.50 to 0.85. It is observed that the reflection coefficient depends not only on the median size of the particles making up the bottom, but also on the sorting of the particles and on the bottom topography.
Reflection and Transmission of Sound by a Spherical Shell20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906378View Description Hide Description
A periodic point source in medium 1 is at the center of a spherical shell of medium 2 which is surrounded by medium 3. The densities, sound speeds, and shell radii are arbitrary. For this case an exact, explicit expression for the sound pressure is obtained. If the shell radii become infinite but the thickness remains constant, and if media 1 and 3 are the same, the solution reduces to that of Rayleigh for plane waves normally incident on a flat plate. If the shell radii become infinite and if media 2 and 3 are the same, the solution yields the acoustic Fresnel formulae for normal incidence of a plane wave on a plane interface between two half‐infinite media. For finite radii, with media 1 and 3 identical and the shell thickness small compared to a wave‐length, a simpler form for the solution is obtained. This solution is found to agree with the approximate solution of H. Primakoff and J. B. Keller for the sound fields reflected and transmitted by a thin shell of any shape, when their result is specialized to the present case.
Acoustical Methods in Supersonic Aerodynamics20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906379View Description Hide Description
The paper illustrates certain techniques common to acoustics and supersonic aerodynamics. The basic equations describing hydrodynamical phenomena taking place in a supersonic, inviscid stream are developed. After linearization, the equations are solved for the velocity potential resulting from an arbitrary source distribution in the plane z − 0. The integration of the results for two‐dimensional flow is carried out, and the application to various aerodynamic problems is cited. As a second illustration, an analogy, attributable to von Kármán, between two‐dimensional flow caused by a distribution of acoustic oscillators along a line having arbitrary time histories and the steady three‐dimensional flow about a thin wing is described. Using the techniques of Fourier integrals, this analogy is used to compute the wavedrag caused by a symmetrical wing at zero lift.
Elastic Impact of Pianoforte Hammer20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906380View Description Hide Description
This paper discusses the dynamical theory of the impact of a felt hammer upon a string at a distance α from one fixed end such that the reflected wave from the other distant fixed end does not reach the striking point during the time the hammer is in contact with the string. The Heaviside operational method leads to a solution in the form of a series consisting of incommensurable terms with damping coefficients increasing with the order of the term and tending to a limiting value. In the case of a hard hammer the damping coefficients decrease, and the terms are very much less incommensurable. These are the essential differences between the two cases that lead to smoothening down of the pressure and time curve between the hammer and the string in the case of a felt hammer.
Report on the National Electroacoustics Institute "O. M. Corbino" (I.N.E.A.C.), Rome, Italy20(1948); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1906381View Description Hide Description
Dedicated to the late O. M. Corbino in 1939, this institute lost, during the war, its original building and most of its facilities, which included newly constructed reverberation and free‐field rooms for large‐scale acoustics research. Most of the comprehensive acoustics library was salvaged, together with some pieces of equipment. Operations were renewed in 1945 in a portion of the Italian National Research Council building at Piazzale delle Scienze, Rome. The group numbers about ten research scientists, some of whom are members of the staff of the University of Rome, and about ten service personnel. The program features mainly ultrasonics, vibration studies of solids, and acoustic instrumentation.
The ultrasonics program is characterized by the exploitation of light diffraction methods for measurement. In some recent developments, the usually employed standing waves between a quartz crystal and a reflector have been replaced by a pair of oppositely directed parallel beams of progressive waves from two quartz plates driven at the same frequency by a common source. The new device is free from the high precision requirements for parallelism and operates continuously over a fairly wide range of frequencies without mechanical adjustment.
Ultrasonic velocity and absorption in several liquids and liquid mixtures are being studied from 1 to 10 megacycles, as a function of temperature. Velocity is now determined by measurement of wave‐lengths in a progressive beam which is illuminated stroboscopically by the two‐crystal cell described above. For absorption measurements, a monochromatic light line is passed through a single progressive ultrasonic beam and masked to allow a single‐order diffraction line to fall on a photo‐cell. The measured light intensity is proportional (within certain limits which can be checked) to the ultrasonic intensity which can then be measured as a function of distance to determine absorption.
Dynamic properties of wood and metal are being studied by vibrating small samples and measuring the elastic and damping coefficients from resonant behavior. The basic tool is a condenser which drives the sample by electrostatic force and which also frequency modulates a high frequency carrier to provide a measure of vibration amplitude. The output is presented oscillographically to display force and displacement on the two axes of the scope. Samples are suspended on fine stretched wires and driven in transverse or longitudinal modes of vibration. These simple and effective means for studying internal damping and elasticity as dependent upon composition and temperature should prove useful in solid‐state physics studies.
Instrumentation studies include tube resonance methods of acoustic impedance measurement, frequency dividers, and multipliers for stable sound and ultrasonic sources, earphone testing, and microphone calibration.
The I.N.E.A.C. has issued some eighty reports and papers, which have appeared in Ricerca Scientifica, Alta Frequenza, Atti dell 'Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, and other journals. A Bibliography, annotated with abstracts or summaries of several of the papers, is included in this report.
