Several days later I phoned again since the card had not arrived to get the same type of response. That nothing could be done at this point that for certain the card would come next week. I explained that they already received the funds and therefore I should have the card at this point. I was told that they were behind in work since the holidays. I told them that the customer should never be held legal for their management and company operations.
We paid and should receive according to agreement. I was told that they had 10 or more business days after debiting the account. I informed them that my document attached to the trial offer stated that within 3 business days following the debit of funds that I would receive the fully activated calling card.
I have had many problems with this company from having them shut the access off for so called security reasons. Once I called they would activiate the card again.
I requested to speak with the President or some other officer of the corporation and was refused. They would not even give me the telephone number or name of the principals saying they were not allowed to release that information.
Today is the 13th of January and I still have not received the card. Do the math. They have had plenty of time to mail the card. I believe that they have delayed it even more since I complained and said I would contact the State Corporation Commission and Better Business.
Thank you.

• Introduction • Traditional System Analysis and Design • Object-oriented analysis and design • Comparison between the SSAD and OOAD methodologies • From structured development to object-oriented development • Benefits of object-oriented methodology • Conclusion • References
It has been observed that many discussions were held on the use of object-oriented analysis and design over the traditional structured system analysis and design. While the use of object oriented analysis and design methodology is justified in many cases, in some cases it may be inappropriate and we should consider the use of the traditional structured analysis methodology in the system development. This essay attempts to clarify the use of these two methodologies, to compare and contrast of each and to make recommendations.

It would be really really good to save a backup of files when they are edited through the WP file editor. I think that if you were to edit index.php, a backup should be made into wp-content with some sort of naming schema like index.php.<date>.<time>
Of course it would be really good to have this configurable through the Admin interface where you could set the max number of files saved (ex - it would only save the last 3 edits to a certain file), path to save to (wp-content/backup/files).
I know this really doesn't matter for many of us who do our editing locally, but for those who only are able to do it on a server, this would be a nice value-add.

Love the photo of B Minor's run against the Badgers. Can't wait for my reading material for the month of July.
this may be of some local interest
It is out:
A dossier of what's inside:
The usual team preview by yours truly, except swankier with more stats and highlights and pictures of Jamar Adams because the safety situation is so scary that no one actually scheduled to play the position has available photos. Also: special teams!
Opponent previews by a cast of characters. As per usual, we break out the Notre Dame and Ohio State previews and offer them to partisans of those schools. This year it's Vico from Our Honor Defend taking up the Ohio State banner; Brian Stouffer of The House Rock Built returns to preview ND. The rest of the schedule is tackled by Jerry Hinnen from the Joe Cribbs Car Wash, continuing HTTV's burgeoning tradition of forcing some guy from the South to learn all about the Big Ten.
Research and and analysis in spades. The research and wonkery section of this year's book includes:
Talking with and observing this year's team in detail.
Going back in the day. Michigan history features heavily:
It's twelve pages longer than last year's book and zero dollars more expensive. If you do not buy it, you are probably brain damaged. So avoid brain damage: buy the book. If you do not buy the book, people will question the functioning of your mind. Do it for the economy.
Love the photo of B Minor's run against the Badgers. Can't wait for my reading material for the month of July.
they will get to CA?
I ordered back on June 10 and my status still shows as pending? Does anyone else's actually show as shipped?
How many points is that worth?
I suggest 1,000.
The bio is very succinct. I enjoyed it.
for putting this all together with the links etc... you just screwed up my schedule for today with all this reading to do lol.
and I just completed my purchase this year. I highly recommend for those fans who are not scared of things like S&H scams, or other nefarious things.
that last paragraph of Brian's.
Or do we need to wait until July 21? Cause if I knew it was at the Borders in AA I would go *right now*
That you could call them and ask them. If they'd have it, you'd find out and if they didn't, they might think, "Hmm, maybe we better get that on the shelves!" You'd win, Brian would win. Beer for everybody!
$5 for magazine shipping! You gotta be kidding me! STOOOPID! I'll wait and hope it shows up at the news stand.
Its $10 to Canada...suck it up buttercup and buy the book!
I now know what I'm going to be reading all July and August.
2 months? what are you going to do, read a page a day?
are a lot of wurds in it.
I am now relieved that I am no longer in danger of suffering brain dammage [I hear it is bad enough to make your head explode...this is no joke], that no one will question how my brain works [although, you might not want to let me off the hook this easily] and doing my single handed best to turn the economy around...my copy of Hail to the Victors 2009 is on its way.
Go Blue!
So when do I get my 1000 MGo "suck up" Points?
The book may be out but it is also DELAYED. Just got this e-mail from Maple Street:
We had a delay in the delivery of our stock of books from the printer that has caused fulfillment to be backed up by a couple of days. You will be notified via e-mail when your magazine has shipped.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your interest in Maple Street Press titles.
Maple Street Press CS
I'm especially bummed out because I am vacationing next week and really wanted my copy. I ordered way back on June 10!
Brian, do you know if it should be in stores now? Might see if I can cancel my online purchase and go that route instead.
Quit delaying. Buy this now. Do it. I'll wait.
Personally, I had a blast writing my story and can not wait to read the rest of the book.
Not to mention being honored to be in the same book as Brian, Smart Football, Doc Saturday and Jerry at the JCCW, among others.
I dont even care if my name is spelled wrong (last name ends with an, not ian), but whatever, the book and being in it still rocks.
Of course, since the name is wrong, I'll use this space to pimp my new e-blog, http://www.justcoverblog.com Spotty posting for now, but by the end of the month there will be daily posts.
First and foremost, though, are you done buying the book yet? Are you sure you only want one copy? They make awesome gifts, you know!!!
at the B&N on washtenaw
mine shipped today
Just got the e-mail that my copy has been shipped!

Clean little cottages, no breakfast included but full kitchen. Two bedrooms with twin size comfy beds. If you are going to the North House Folk School you are a two to three block walk down the hill to the school which is right on the water. My wife and I both took courses there; it was great to have a place to walk back to when our courses had different daily schedules. Downtown is a four block walk. Great location!
4.6 on September 29, 2014
The MacArthur House was an extremely reasonable way to take in Grand Marais. It's within walking distance of downtown and the breakfast and coffee were delicious! I would definitely stay again and would highly recommend it to others.

I am trying to set up 2 new sites, and both keep coming up with the same error upon install.
I altered the name of the wp-config.php file to wp-config.bak using filezilla so I could manually insert the database details as I have had issues at this point in the installation previously.
I'm on 1&1 and they say the databases are ready to use, but when I click 'submit' I get this error message;
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can't contact the database server at db2751.oneandone.co.uk. This could mean your host's database server is down.
Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
I am sure the username and password are correct, and 1&1 say the server is ready to go.
What is wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Chris Brown's D.C. Mugshot Released
In case you forgot that Chris Brown has been in a whole mess of legal trouble and in jail for the past few weeks, forcing the delay of his Ariana Grande duet, well, this mugshot should remind you.
In case you forgot that Chris Brown has been in a whole mess of legal trouble and in jail for the past few weeks, forcing the delay of his Ariana Grande duet, well, this mugshot should remind you.
Chris Brown is forced to stay in jail until mid-April, but he is somehow still finding a way to communicate with his fans -- and his on-again girlfriend, Karrueche Tran.
Chris Brown may be behind bars, but he is still releasing new music. The controversial singer just debuted the official music video for his explicit song, 'Loyal,' featuring Lil Wayne and Tyga (and one random cameo appearance by Usher.) In the vid, Brown shows off his highly impressive dance moves -- and some old-school fashion.
Denied, respectfully so.
Chris Brown and his lawyer sought the singer's release from jail, but a judge declined their request to transfer the troubled singer to another facility. Therefore, he will remain in custody until April 23.
Chris Brown is single… again. The singer, who is focused on his rehab and his new music, like his duet with Ariana Grande, has split with his long-suffering, on-off GF Karrueche Tran. Is Rihanna to blame?
Chris Brown is usually grabbing headlines for his various legal troubles, but new information has come to light about exactly why he went to rehab and how he feels about his ex Rihanna and former nemesis Drake.
Ariana Grande and Chris Brown have been teasing their duet for a few weeks now. The petite singer with the huge voice and the reformed R&B star and dancer traded lyrics over Twitter. Now, they both shared a pic from what appears to be the rehearsals for the video shoot for the song and it's beyond steamy.
Chris Brown left rehab, filmed a video, dropped hints about a collabo with Ariana Grande and was reportedly returning to a facility to continue his treatment since he is doing so well. The ever-busy and seemingly reformed R&B star has a dance card that remains full as he may be collaborating with Usher again.
Chris Brown left rehab after 90, court-ordered days of treatment. He quickly got back to work, attending a ceremony during which he was honored, filming a video and announcing the new release date for his delayed 'X' album. But word is he is headed back to the facility to continue his treatment.
Justin Bieber isn't the only pop star with legal woes. Chris Brown is facing his own drama. His latest problem? Oh, he's just being sued by the person he is accused of assaulting in misdemeanor fashion in Washington, D.C. last fall.
Ariana Grande's 'Almost Is Never Enough' duet with her ex Nathan Sykes was much loved by critics and fans. Her song 'The Way,' which featured rapper Mac Miller, also put her on the map. She is revisiting that diva-and-a-dude duet formula, it would seem, with Chris Brown, based on some tweets that were issued this weekend.
Chris Brown causes drama everywhere he goes -- including to police stations and court houses -- and for once, it may not be his fault.

Skip to comments.US: No immediate ceasefire, despite Qana
Posted on 07/30/2006 11:58:14 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative
Despite the events in Qana, the US is decided in its rejection of an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hizbullah. Minutes after speaking on the telephone with US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice (who currently in Israel), US Under Secretary for Political Affairs, Nicholas Burns, declared that the United States is not interested in repeating former mistakes.
"We need a sustainable ceasefire. We need to ensure that Hizbullah will not remain in a position that allows it to threaten Israeli security and we need to return sovereignty to the Lebanese government. We cannot allow Hizbullah to sit on the border and launch thousands of rockets at millions of Israelis," said Burns in an interview on ABC's show 'This Week'.
Burns emphasized that, in the event of an immediate ceasefire, "Hizbullah will keep firing on Israelis and Israel will stay in Lebanon." He added that efforts to create a multinational force will continue, stating that several nations expressed willingness to participate in such a force, but refraining from naming them explicitly. Earlier, ynet reported that these states were France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Turkey, and India, who had been approached by the US.
Rice to return empty-handed?
Despite the fact the Secretary Rice did not visit Lebanon on Sunday, she conducted a number of telephone calls with Lebanese Prime Minister, Fouad Siniora, in order to advance political initiatives. However, NBC's chief foreign affairs correspondent, Andrea Mitchell, who accompanied Rice to the Middle East, said that the incident in Qana shattered American diplomatic efforts. According to Mitchell, Rice may return to the US empty-handed, causing Israel to pay a heavy price to revitalize a diplomatic process.
In the meantime, Israel has intensified its PR campaign in the US. Senior Israeli spokespersons were sent to appear opposite Lebanese and Syrian representatives on Sunday talk shows. Vice Premier Shimon Peres appeared on CBS's 'Face the Nation' program, along with PM Lebanese Fouad Siniora. Minister Isaac Herzog appeared opposite the Syrian minister of public relations on CNN, while Israeli UN representative, Danny Gillerman, and Israeli ambassador in Washington, Dan Ayalon, spoke on ABC.
Gillerman stated that "it is important to recall that Hizbullah uses civilians as human shields. It shoots from the midst of the population, which proves the need for disarming the organization. They are holding the Lebanese people hostage."
Ayalon argued with Siniora's security advisor, who labeled Israeli operations, "not a war
(but) war crimes," and called for an immediate and sustainable stop to the killing. Ayalon agreed that 'war crimes' was an applicable term: war crimes undertaken by Hizbullah "who position their forces and their rockets in the midst of civilians."
So much for all the hysterical Rice bashers of this morning who accused her of caving in and surrendering!
As it should be. Judgement day is far from over.
So much for all the hysterical Rice bashers of this morning who accused her of caving in and surrendering!
It would be good for Bush and Rice if they would take a position early-on, and not appear to be brokering a faux peace. Communications has been short-coming of this administration since 2000. There can be no faux peace, not any more. We know that both Bush and Rice know this. Let us hope they stick to their "guns" -- and show support Israel as the nation fighting for its existence, and its right to exist, that it is.
I'll just bet I can't figure out WHO those were? As predictable as heat in the desert.
And just WHAT produces the "appearance" that they have any interest in a faux peace? Why not that lil ole Treason Media that we all hate so well?
Even Fox's coverage is piss poor and more of the same as CNN with the hysteria factor turned down slightly.
How does the repeated statement that there will be no call for a "cease fire" which leaves Hizbolla capable of acting militarily get translated into a "faux peace"? Bush could not be any clearer.
So, was Quana a Hezzie attempt to gain sympathy for a cease fire?
She tried and was unsuccessful. It got thrown back in her face.
Rockets were coming from Qana. Israel owes no apology.
Every civilized person hates the loss of human life, but that is what war is. Hezbollah wanted war, and Lebanon allowed this to start on it's own soil. Attacks on Israel had to be met with force. A kiss just will not do.
Is there a rational explaination as to why when hezbollah targets ANYTHING, no one says a word.
When Israel targets a missle launch site, and civilians who had been warned, get killed, it's a huge problem?
Why the glaring double standard?
Then what was she doing Continent hopping if not trying to broker a PEACE DEAL...sampling their local cuisine?
Considering that 85-percent of Lebanese support Hezbollah (according to mainstream media polls), then I am hardly traumatized when and if 85-percent of the Lebanese population is killed in defending those same butcher terrorists.
Either Lebanon is hostage to Hezbollah, or complicit. They can't have it both ways. If they are hostage, then Israel is their liberator. They should be out in the streets doing everything they can to help drive Hezbollah from their stronholds.
If they are complicit, then they are complicit in Hezbollah's crimes, and complicit in their own destruction. Israel warned them to vacate the zone. They didn't. Decisions have consequences.
Rice has stood tall against Appeasing Eurotrash. Meantime, anyone who thinks that the Hezzies didn't know that the Qana thing wasn't going to happen ought to ask how this big Condi poster, mentioning the Qana "massacre", got published so fast.
Fix is in, folks.
Be Seeing You,
What a totally stupid thing to say.
Any "ceasefire" with those Islamo-Nazis will only benefit Iran, Syria and their terrorists cohorts. Israel, the US, the UK & other allies are combating the same jihadic enemy no matter the location.
Could it be that the Secretary was trying to negotiate a position where Lebanon agrees to a no hezzies allowed or tolerated?
The Democrats show the most classic indicator of INSANITY..
They wish to repeat an action and expect a different result..
They wish to "negotiate before defeating the enemy" and expect to bring "peace"...
ALL previous "negotiations" with militant Islamists have FAILED.
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Islamists have provided ample proof, they must be killed to achieve a "peaceful state".
The ONLY peaceful state for an Islamist is at room temperature..
Semper Fi
Coule be just what was stated...Rice had hoped to leave the region after concrete progress on ending the fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah militia in southern Lebanon.
I don't see any mention of wanting Lebanon to agree that no hezzies are allowed or tolerated.
...which leaves Hizbolla capable of acting militarily get translated into a "faux peace"? Bush could not be any clearer.
Let us hope you are right. I have been around long enough to have watched so MANY U.S. Presidents and Israeli PMs FORCE false peace on Israel with Arafat and his ilk that skepticism and cynicism are very justified when it comes to the term "peace" --- at this point, only seeing is believing. And we shall see.
coule = could
Sometimes I just love the Arabs.
Because to quote Sherlock Holmes, "Crime is commonplace. Logic is rare."
Be Seeing You,
The peace deal they are trying to broker is the disarming of Hezbollah and a multi-national force to patrol the south until Lebanon proper can do it on their own. Everyone knows it is a non-starter because Hezbollah will never disarm, they will have to be defeated. But you have to be stirring up diplomatic dust so that people are not accusing you of sitting on your hands while women and children die.
I thought President Bush and PM Blair were talking about Lebanon's sovereignty and their words seemed to leave no room for hezzie's in Lebanon's future. I was just wondering if Rice's mission was to get a commitment that Lebanon wouldn't tolerate the presence of hezzies after this was over, or... no ceasefire. Is it that hard to fathom as a possibility?
Just saw Bush and Blair on Fox speaking from their respective countires. They both look wiped out. This is just horrible.
Probably as much as I do. :-)
She is so wrong in this. I don't see her wanting us to sit down with al queada, why should she expect Israel to sit down with hezbollah? A terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist.
re: your poster comment:
Steyn had a similar insight concerning the Palestinian's penchant for burning flags. Odd, hard to come-by flags, (he actually hinted that perhaps they got them from the UN). Anyway, he said with such initiative and resourcefulness, they would better put to use in start-ups, not the nonsense they do, living in squalor.
Hezbollah never expected this to happen, they've said it themselves. For years whenever they pulled this crap the worst they got for it was the equivalent of a three year old being put in "time out". This must be played out until Hezbollah begs for mercy and surrenders, anything less is a win for them. I have no doubt the Israelis have the stomach for it, they're always damned if they do and damned of they don't. We the U.S. need to have the stomach for it, we're the ones that are going to decide whether or not we hand Hezbollah a win. I hope we're gonna give Israel the win. Doing that sends a very strong message.
WELL worth repeating
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Peace can NOT be negotiated with Islamists..
Disarming hezbollah?
Hezbollah disarmament not required by Israel for cease fire
Israel says, not true.
But you have to be stirring up diplomatic dust so that people are not accusing you of sitting on your hands while women and children die.
What women and children...hezbollah women and children?
Until Hezbollah acknowledges Israel's Right to Exist, there is nothing to talk about.
Israel needs to stop warning Hez-Ebola where they are going to bomb so they won't know where to put their human shields
Lebanon sovereignty? They have no sovereignty, they handed their country over to hezbollah if not before this started, certainly when Lebanon military fired on Israeli choppers. They've sided with terrorist. They will get what they deserve.
How many at the UN were whining about Lebanon's sovereignity while Syria was occupying it?
I don't believe it's in their genetic makeup to do that.
Let me take a wild guess......0?
Israel has denied this report. I think it still stands that any cease fire will require Hezbollah to disarm. Please show me another link that supports your rebuttal, because the one I followed actually had the title updated to read that Israel denied this.
What women and children...hezbollah women and children?
Any women and children.
The U.S. or Israel need to go medieval on these bastards. Show no mercy.
Did you not read where I said that, my post # 37? Any women and children.
What the hell do I care about terrorist women and children...They are just as likely to strap a bomb to themselves as their menfolk.
I keep my sympathies with the Israeli women and children and what harm is being done to them. You can worry about the terrorist's women and children.

Clifford Hammond, the man known as "Uncle Cliff," has died.
Hammond, the man behind Cliff's Amusement Park, died Jan. 29 at the age of 97.
He started the state's largest amusement park, which used to be called Uncle Cliff's, in 1959 with just a few rides and a go-cart track. The park quickly grew into a local landmark with 25 rides.
A memorial service for Hammond is scheduled for Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. at Temple Baptist Church on Arizona NE.

How touching
Haptics is the science of simulating pressure, texture, vibration and other sensations related to touch. Most of today's haptic devices rely on motors that either prod or vibrate the skin, but a new technology is emerging that is an even more flexible and effective means of stimulating the sense of touch: skin stretch. By laterally stretching the surface of the skin (without pushing or poking into it) it is possible to mimic the feeling of complex shapes and sensations. This is because the sense of touch seems to depend far more on the way in which the skin is deformed and stretched than it does on the degree of pressure applied. So it should be possible to recreate sensations purely by stretching skin, says Vincent Hayward, a researcher who first developed such a device at the Centre for Intelligent Machines at McGill University.

Motherhood Deters Women From Army's Highest Ranks
By ELIZABETH BECKER
Published: November 29, 1999
FORT LEWIS, Wash.— In the small world of women who are senior officers, Lois Beard was considered a prime candidate to become the Army's first General Mom.
She was a veteran of the invasion of Panama and the war in the Persian Gulf. She commanded a military police battalion that helped keep the peace in Bosnia. The Army promoted her to colonel two years ahead of schedule.
On top of her typical 12-hour workday, Colonel Beard, 45, was the mother of three children, raising them with her husband, Glenn, another Army colonel.
Youthful-looking and energetic, with an officer's unflappable discipline, she seemed headed toward becoming the first mother promoted to Army general.
''If anyone could do it, Lois could,'' said Col. Stephanie Hoehne, the spokeswoman for Gen. Wesley K. Clark, the NATO commander.
But then Colonel Beard called it quits and retired. After holding every job and attending every school required to be selected as general, she decided she could no longer be both a mother and a commander. ''I certainly would have kept going if it wasn't for the family,'' she said. ''I loved being a commander, but I found myself saying I would be a better commander if I wasn't a parent and a better parent if I wasn't a commander.''
Her teenage daughters seemed to be withdrawing from her, she said, and she feared she was taking herself out of her children's lives.
Rachel, her 16-year-old daughter, said that while she missed both parents when they were away from home, she saved her ire for her mother, not her father. ''It just made me angry when she came home and asked me what I had been doing,'' Rachel said. ''I wouldn't answer. I'd only say to myself, 'You weren't there when I needed you, so why should I talk to you now?' ''
Of all the subjects that preoccupy women rising through the ranks, few are more pressing than how to balance motherhood with the all-consuming commitment required to become a general or an admiral. If the corporate world has a glass ceiling, women in the military say the Pentagon has a brass ceiling.
''The one thing in my whole career that has caused me the greatest stress and over which I have had the least control is the care of my children,'' Colonel Hoehne said.
Today, 37 women are active-duty generals or admirals. The Army has yet to promote a mother to general. The Navy has promoted three mothers to admiral, but they are all in the special medical or support branches. The Air Force has one mother who is a general, but an official said privacy rules prohibited him from identifying her.
Almost a quarter-century after the military academies first admitted women, the angst and frustration over how to raise children is proving to be a major obstacle for women on the road to military success.
When the Army recently asked soldiers why they were leaving the service, women, regardless of their rank, put time away from their family as their overriding concern.
Men, on the other hand, were evenly divided between complaints about their pay, job security, possibilities of advancement and enjoyment of their work. Separation from their children was not foremost in their minds.
''It's the unnoticed secret of the military,'' said Charles Moskos, a military sociologist at Northwestern University. ''Senior women officers who are mothers are strained beyond the limits. Whether it is genetic or cultural, women are more bonded to their children than men. They are caught in a double bind that men in the military don't recognize, much less understand.''
Col. Nancy Bickford, a 44-year-old Army logistics expert and mother of two, was caught in that bind. She passed up several steps necessary for promotion because of her family. First she deferred a battalion command when her husband, who was also in the Army, was not given an appointment at the same post in Germany.
''That was a pretty traumatic experience,'' Colonel Bickford said, ''but I wasn't going to abandon my family.''
She was given a second chance and commanded 800 soldiers in a battalion at Fort Lewis. But then she passed up the Army War College, again for family reasons. That spelled the end for further advancement. Next summer she is retiring.
''It's going to be very hard to leave the Army,'' Colonel Bickford said. ''It's been a challenging career and you get a huge sense of accomplishment, but ever since I had kids, I've felt the pull in the other direction.''
Out of the 3,628 Army colonels on active duty, only 68, or 1.8 percent, are women on the competitive track to move up to the next step, which is general officer, according to the Army.
While a Pentagon report released in November showed that the number of officers who are women or members of minorities has doubled in the last 20 years, women leave the services earlier than men. Among their complaints was the sense that women are held to a higher standard.
''A lot of talent is being lost this way,'' said Mr. Moskos, who often acts as a consultant for the armed services. ''The military shouldn't be losing these women.''
For women on the intricate obstacle course of promotion, marriage and pregnancy are barriers to be approached with caution.

Volumetric diffusers: Pseudorandom cylinder arrays on a periodic lattice128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3493455View Description Hide Description
Most conventional diffusers take the form of a surface based treatment, and as a result can only operate in hemispherical space. Placing a diffuser in the volume of a room might provide greater efficiency by allowing scattering into the whole space. A periodic cylinder array (or sonic crystal) produces periodicity lobes and uneven scattering. Introducing defects into an array, by removing or varying the size of some of the cylinders, can enhance their diffusing abilities. This paper applies number theoretic concepts to create cylinder arrays that have more even scattering. Predictions using a boundary element method are compared to measurements to verify the model, and suitable metrics are adopted to evaluate performance. Arrangements with good aperiodic autocorrelation properties tend to produce the best results. At low frequency power is controlled by object size and at high frequency diffusion is dominated by lattice spacing and structural similarity. Consequently the operational bandwidth is rather small. By using sparse arrays and varying cylinder sizes, a wider bandwidth can be achieved.
A hybrid modal analysis for enclosed sound fields128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3493429View Description Hide Description
A hybrid modal expansion that combines the free field Green's function and a modal expansion will be presented in this paper based on a review and an extension of the existing modal analysis theories for the sound field in enclosures. The enclosed sound field will be separated into the direct field and reverberant field, which have been treated together in the traditional modal analysis. Studies on a point source in rectangular enclosures show that the hybrid modal expansion converges notably faster than the traditional modal expansions, especially in the region near the source, and introduces much smaller errors with a limited number of modes. The hybrid modal expansion can be easily applied to complex sound sources if the free field responses of the sources are known. Damped boundaries are also considered in this paper, and a set of modified modal functions is introduced, which is shown to be suitable for many damped boundary conditions.
Wideband characterization of the complex wave number and characteristic impedance of sound absorbers128(2010); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.3488307View Description Hide Description
Several methods for measuring the complex wave number and the characteristic impedance of sound absorbers have been proposed in the literature. These methods can be classified into single frequency and wideband methods. In this paper, the main existing methods are revisited and discussed. An alternative method which is not well known or discussed in the literature while exhibiting great potential is also discussed. This method is essentially an improvement of the wideband method described by Iwase et al., rewritten so that the setup is more ISO 10534-2 standard-compliant. Glass wool, melamine foam and acoustical/thermal insulator wool are used to compare the main existing wideband non-iterative methods with this alternative method. It is found that, in the middle and high frequency ranges the alternative method yields results that are comparable in accuracy to the classical two-cavity method and the four-microphone transfer-matrix method. However, in the low frequency range, the alternative method appears to be more accurate than the other methods, especially when measuring the complex wave number.

Would love to hear reviews suggestions on layout of my new on-line magazine -- http://www.mudsugar.com
I'm a print designer so please be gentle.
Very nice and clear. Great layout.
I really like it a lot.
there's a little lack of contrast between the body text and the headers and meta/navigation/technical which i imagine could easily be addressed with color or size.
your print experience shows, and this is a pleasure to read and see.
thanks for sharing.
Works great on a mac, safari, firefox, mozilla.
Thanks for th input dss and jwurster!
very nice!
your theme brings up a dreaded question: what is the best width for a webpage?
It certainly doesn't fit into 800px wide - but what width do MOST people use?
I hope we will all be able to download your theme someday in the future.
Thanks for the input. I actually just used the Bionic Jive theme and the Semiologic theme, tweaked them together and added a column to the left. I don't think anyone would want to use what I have done seeing that I have basically duct taped it together.
About the width -- I figured it wouldn't be long before most people would have high resolution monitors.
The majority of web surfers are on 1024x768, although there is still a fairly good-sized chunk of masochists holding out at 800x600. I think the vast majority of this website's target demographic are using at leasrt 1024 screen res.
Nice job, although I feel like there is far too much content on the page for me to really focus on anything. The fact that there aren't any contrasting colors to separate content (even the links are the same color as the rest of the text) makes it all kind of bleed together.
I'm also a bit confused by the navigation. There is a vertical nav on the left side (nicely done with rollover graphics) and then a text based horizontal menu toward the top right. Why is it separated?
Lots of content. Maybe you could trim it down. Do we really need to see the Weather in D.C.?
It's a great start, just pare down some of the content and try to separate things with a bit of color, and I think it will be top notch.
Thanks for the critique -- I'll work on seperating out the info with more color.
Sweet! I think it looks very professional and eye catching. Can't give you a critque further than that because I am just a noob.
Thanks Donald -- hopefully we'll be writing about your acting career sometime in the future.
It looks good! I especially like the sidebar.
Very nice theme. In IE there is a small break between the header and the rest. Although the theme is optimized for FF there are still people using IE :)
Any chance you will share it with wordpress community?
I'd love to share it but It would take lots of time and work to make it ready for public use. And, unfortunately time is something I have very little of these days. Thanks for the nice comments.
i would consider assisting you with the time issue and making it available to the WP community.

Thanks for the offer -- that would be great. What do I need to get to you?
It really does look pretty neat. I would probably make a light version, white background etc.
I guess it uses a few plugins as well.
I would really like to help to get this theme available to the WP community.
Please contact me.
mudsugar - if you can just send me what you have to designpastor at gmail dot com.
include all what you have so i can begin on it for the WP community.
if this is not sufficient, i can setup an FTP folder that we can both have access to ...
The entire layout is in html. Is there someone willing to translate it into full css?
"The majority of web surfers are on 1024x768, although there is still a fairly good-sized chunk of masochists holding out at 800x600."
That's my experience as well. Although, the design at mudsugar.com assumes that I will have my browser window at 1024x768 AND maximised as well (which I don't), so we shouldn't say that it's optimised for 1024x768, should we? It seems to be optimised for at least 1280×1024. I wonder what percentage of web surfers use that these days?

Artist-In-Residence | Spring 2012
Courtney Dodd explores the limits of human perception through the optical ability of glass to reflect, duplicate and obscure. By creating her own series of blown glass photographic lenses, the artist has created unique perceptual filters. Ms. Dodd hopes to take advantage of elements of the Pacific NW spring – clouds, fog, rain, "to document geographically specific bodies of water through these lenses." Her interest in multiple materials and techniques and her recent experimentation in the field of photography aid her in her challenge to create "phenomenon for the viewer". Ms Dodd graduated from Missouri State University magna cum laude with a dual emphasis in graphic design and illustration and received her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University with a concentration in glass.
Heechan Kim earned his BFA in metal arts and jewelry at the Seoul National University in Korea and recently graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology where he received his Masters in Fine Arts in wood working and furniture design. Kim works on a relatively small scale to explore his ideas of human relationships and coexistence. He combines his backgrounds in metal and wood to create works that exhibit his skill in wood bending and organic fabrication techniques. A 2011 NICHE Awards finalist, Mr. Kim describes his work as, "emotionally personal and physically intimate from the material process of hand making." His fascination with the human body and diverse background in craftsmanship establish Mr. Kim as a dynamic contributor to the craft community.

Born in Paris, Françoise Mouly studied architecture at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts, and moved to New York in 1974. She founded Raw Books & Graphics in 1977 and for fifteen years published artists' monographs and the annual "Streets of Soho and Tribeca Map & Guide." Ms. Mouly was the founder, publisher, designer, and co-editor, along with her husband, cartoonist Art Spiegelman, of the pioneering avant-garde comics anthology "RAW," which launched in 1980.
Françoise Mouly joined The New Yorker as art editor in April 1993, and has been responsible for over 800 covers in the years since. In 2000, she published "Covering The New Yorker: Cutting-Edge Covers from a Literary Institution" (Abbeville Press). Also in 2000, Ms. Mouly launched a RAW Junior division, publishing books of comics for kids by star writers, children's book artists, and cartoonists. In the spring of 2008, Ms. Mouly launched TOON Books, her own imprint of hardcover comics for emerging readers.
In 2001, Ms. Mouly was named chevalier in the order of Arts and Letters by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. She and her husband live in Manhattan.
Question: What does your job as the New Yorker's art editor entail?
Francoise Mouly: I'm the art editor, so I have taken over… I'm I think the fourth art editor in 85 years of the magazine's history. The first art editor was Rea Irvin and we will soon celebrate the 85th anniversary of The New Yorker and when the magazine was created it was part of the reason why it was good and so exciting is that it was meant as a humor magazine where the artist we're an integral part of the magazine, so that they were… the drawings were not just like those throw pillows to decorate the big gray sea of type, but a lot of the immediacy and cattiness and the Algonquin Round Table feeling of the magazine came from the artist and the cartoons. That's my job is to actually work with the artists that are full-fledged contributors, so I'm also not caring of the photographers or the illustrators, the ones that are actually like illustrating somebody else's text piece, but I work with Bruce McCall or with Dan Clowes or with Art Spiegelman or with Robert Crumb when we publish strips inside and another place where it's totally just like it was in 1925 for the entire 85 year history is a cover of the magazine that retains that spirit, so it's done by an artist. It's not an illustration of something that is inside. It's autonomous and the story is given by the artist and that's different from any other monthly or weekly publication that is left in this media age. If you're talking about the cover of Newsweek it will be often a photo, most often a photo, but an illustration of whatever is editorial group will have decided should be the cover story that week. At The New Yorker it's not. It's actually an artist who has sent in a sketch done very simply pen on paper and that's his idea, so we have for this week's cover a four-panel cartoon by Barry Blitt of a figure walking on water and then by this panel we see that it's Barack Obama and by that panel our first year anniversary with him sinks through into the water. This isn't the editorial comment. It's not a cover story. It's not necessarily linked to anything, but it's the artist as lightening rod. He captures what is in the air. I think this talks our disappointment, our failed expectation. We thought that Barack Obama could walk on water, but it's also signed by Barry Blitt, so even though it's a New Yorker cover it has this privileged place of being an individual's point of view and that gives it a lot of importance I think in the culture. This image by Barry Blitt of Barack Obama and Michelle in the White House with him dressed as a terrorist, her dressed as an Angela Davis character, a flag burning in the chimney, a portrait of Bin Laden on the wall is an image I'm extremely proud of. It's been labeled by the New York Times as the most memorable image of the 2008 campaign and I think that's true. I think that image actually crystallized what was going on in the summer. It came out in July of 2008, crystallized the forces that were at work. This is what Barack Obama was up against when he was running and this gives us a way to measure the depth of his victory when he got himself elected.
Question: Were you surprised by the furious public debate that followed the "terrorist Obamas" cover?
Francoise Mouly: Was I surprised? I was taken aback because everybody, and there were thousands and tens of thousands of people who took objection to this image, and what they all said to one person, they said, "I get it." "I personally understand it, but I'm worried about my sister-in-law." "I'm worried about my mother." "I'm worried about people in Arkansas." We wrote back and said, "We get it." We were able to, like, follow through. They were all worried about somebody else not getting it, even though they all acknowledged like you know, "I'm sophisticated." And this is a symptom I think like you know the school counselor will tell you that when you have a child coming in and saying like well I'd like to talk about you know my friend who is encountering this and that problem. It's some way of trying to express their ambivalent feeling about… that they just do not know how to express, so I think of this image as I think being exactly the right thing at the right time. It became a catalyst. It lanced the boils. It was poison that was really making the body politic sick because there were innuendos about these Muslim, is not American. All of this stuff was there, but nobody dared to talk about it and that's how the Fox News of this world and the Karl Roves of this world exploded the decency of people of not daring to talk about the ambivalence, and what it really meant to have a black man run for president, and by not talking it was a much worse sin that once this image happened onto the world it exploded all this. I felt of it as… I thought of it as some kind of again, lancing of a boil, a vaccination. You put a little bit of the poison, but in some controlled manner because it was a discussion and I contend that talking about something is always better than not talking about something.
Like a long time ago we published an image of a young woman getting married and she is getting all ready for her wedding day and lo and behold, she has a big belly and she is pregnant and then we got a letter from somebody, lady saying like, "Oh my God, I am so shocked by this image." "I have a teenage daughter and I had to hide my copy of The New Yorker because I was afraid she would see it." As if we were advocating that all pregnant women should be married. As if it was some kind of recruitment poster for having the baby first and getting married after, but I don't respond and but if I could have, if I had the chance I would have gotten back this woman and I would have said, "Lady, if you are that concerned about your daughter getting pregnant and not being married then you should actually tape the cover of The New Yorker on the door of her bedroom and you should talk to her about it." "Hiding the image is not going to accomplish… You should actually use it as a point of… as a departing point for discussion."

New York Meal and Rest Break Laws
New York employers must provide a meal break, but don't have to give rest breaks.
Does your New York employer give you meal breaks or rest breaks? You might be surprised to learn that federal law doesn't give employees the right to time off to eat lunch (or another meal) or the right to take short breaks during the work day. Although employees must be paid for shorter breaks they are allowed to take during the day, employers are not required to provide these breaks in the first place. Plenty of employers provide these breaks as a matter of custom and policy, perhaps recognizing that an employee who is hungry and tired is neither productive nor pleasant to customers and coworkers. Sensible as this seems, employers are not legally required to allow breaks, at least by federal law.
State law is a different story, however. A number of states require employers to provide meal breaks or rest breaks. In New York, employers are required to provide a meal break, but no rest breaks.
Federal Law: Paid versus Unpaid Breaks
Federal law requires employers to pay for hours worked, including certain time that an employer may designate as "breaks." For example, if an employee has to work through a meal, that time must be paid. A receptionist who must cover the phones or wait for deliveries during lunch must be paid for that time, as must a paralegal who eats lunch at her desk while working or a repair person who grabs a quick bite while driving from one job to the next. Even if an employer refers to this time as a lunch break, the employee is still working and entitled to be paid.
Federal law also requires employers to pay for short breaks an employee is allowed to take during the day. Breaks lasting from five to 20 minutes are considered part of the workday, for which employees must be paid.
Employers do not have to pay for bona fide meal breaks, during which the employee is relieved of all duties for the purpose of eating a meal. An employee need not be allowed to leave the work site during a meal break, as long as the employee doesn't have to do any work. Ordinarily, a meal break is "bona fide" if it lasts for at least 30 minutes, although shorter breaks may also qualify, depending on the circumstances.
However, these rules come into play only if an employer allows breaks. Federal law requires only that an employer pay for certain time, even if it is designated as a break. It does not require employers to offer break time in the first place.
New York Requires Meal Breaks
A number of states follow the federal law: They don't require meal or rest breaks, but they require employers to pay for any short breaks allowed (and to pay for all time an employee spends working, whether or not the employee is eating at the same time).
Some states require either meal or rest breaks. New York is one of them: It requires employers to provide a meal break, but does not require rest breaks.
The length of the required break depends on the industry and shift:
- Factory employees are entitled to a one-hour break between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- Mercantile employees and all other employees covered by New York's labor laws are entitled to a 30-minute break between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
- If an employee's shift starts before 11 a.m. and ends after 7 p.m., the employee is entitled to an additional 20-minute break between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
- If an employee works a shift of more than six hours that starts between 1 p.m. and 6 a.m., the employee is entitled to a meal break in the middle of the shift. Factory employees get a one-hour break; mercantile and other employees covered by the labor laws get a 45-minute break.
