text: This post contains technical explanations of some of the OBS settings. General Spoiler This section should be self explanatory. Encoding Video Spoiler Quality Balance This controls the CRF parameter in x264. Combined with the VBV system, this generally controls the CRF with which static scenes are encoded at. If you specify quality 10, static scenes will look better, but leave less buffer space available if there is sudden motion, resulting in pixelation. Using a quality of 5 or 6 will make static scenes slightly worse, but in the case of motion, quality will be improved. Experiment with this depending on your input, for FPS games and other high activity scenes you probably want this lower than 10. For fairly static games like MTG, FTL, turn based strategy, etc, you can stick with 10 without a problem. Recommended: Varies, 5-10 depending on source. Max Bitrate Basically tells x264 to target this bitrate in kbps. The actual bitrate will vary depending on the complexity of the scene. Set this to around 80% of your upload speed. If you have high upload speed, keep in mind that your viewers will require an equivalent download speed to be able to view your stream, so you probably don't want to go over 3500kbps or so. Keep in mind if you stream at lower resolutions you will not need as high of a bitrate. Recommended: 80% of your upload speed or 3500kbps (whichever is lower) Buffer Size This ties in closely with the bitrate. x264 will encode everything into a fixed size buffer of this size. If there is a sudden scene change and high motion, it can fill up this buffer at a rate faster than the average max bitrate. Eg if you have a bitrate of 3000 and a buffer of 6000, x264 could decide that if a scene is complex enough, to use 5000 of the 6000 buffer at once. This makes your actual network bitrate quite spiky, which can lead to latency issues if queuing occurs on your modem or router. Raising this makes the stream bitrate more spiky but improves quality, reducing this makes the bitrate more tightly controlled and closer to the max bitrate setting. Don't set this too high as the client-side decode buffer will also need to be this big, and you have no control over that. Recommended: Same as bitrate Use CBR This will set x264 into CBR mode. The "quality" setting will have no effect as the quality will be determined entirely by your bitrate, and x264 will try to ensure your stream goes out at close to the bitrate specified. This results in a less spiky (bandwidth wise). It will also cause both you and your viewers to consume more bandwidth as scenes with no motion at all will still use the specified bitrate unless "CBR Padding" is disabled. CBR can help with viewer lag issues caused by variable bitrate as TCP is not well designed for variable bandwidth. The quality cost of CBR is very low and the issues it can fix make this very appealing, and it also eliminates the process of picking an appropriate quality value. Recommended: On Audio Spoiler Codec AAC is higher quality at a lower bitrate. MP3 is marginally faster but lower quality. Recommended: AAC Bitrate Controls the bitrate (and thus quality) of audio. Don't set this lower than 96kbps unless you're really constrained for bandwidth. Recommended: 96 - 128kbps Broadcast Settings Spoiler Everything here should be fairly self-explanatory. One thing to keep in mind, if you're using Twitch or Own3D, make sure to select the closest server to you to minimize latency. If you're using Twitch, try JTVPing from http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmes ... _id=326034 to find your best server. Minimize Network Impact If you experience high ping / latency issues when you are streaming, try enabling this option to reduce how often OBS outputs data to the network. This comes at the risk of increased frame drops if the connection to the streaming server is poor. Video Spoiler Base Resolution This is the main resolution of your scene. This should generally by the same as your monitor resolution, so you can select a monitor to make it match. If you want to stream at a lower resolution, the Resolution Downscale option will provide the best quality. If you really want to stream at a certain resolution, eg 1280x720, you can type it in directly under "Custom". Please keep in mind that if your desktop is 16:10, you should enter a 16:10 custom resolution too (eg 1152x720), or your sources will not scale correctly and you will have black bars on your stream. Recommended: Match your monitor resolution. Resolution Downscale This allows you to reduce the resolution that the stream is encoded at in a high quality way. If you want to stream at 1280x720 (720p) and your monitor is 1920x1080 (1080p), it is best to use a Base Resolution of 1920x1080 and select 1280x720 from this list. Using the downscale option is like using anti-aliasing - it will make things like text and sharp lines look a lot nicer than if you just set your base resolution to 1280x720. Keep in mind that the resolution of your stream directly impacts how much CPU time and bitrate is required, so if you have a slow CPU or a low upload speed, reducing resolution is one of the best ways to improve things. Recommended: Depends on your CPU and upload speed. FPS How many frames per second to target. If you have a high end system, 60 fps looks very fluid and is preferred for fast action games like FPS / fighting games. A higher frame rate is directly tied to an increase in CPU requirements, eg 60 fps will require twice as much CPU power as 30 fps. However, 60 fps may not require twice the bitrate, since the improvement in fluidity from 30 fps to 60 fps means there is less time for the eye to notice a quality loss. If you find you have a great CPU but low upload, increasing FPS is one of the best ways to improve quality. Recommended: 30 fps for most configurations, 60 fps if you have the CPU and bandwidth to support it. Disable Aero This will turn off Aero (desktop compositing) on Windows Vista or Windows 7. If you are using Software Capture and using monitor capture, disabling Aero will result in higher performance capture. Conversely, if you are using window capture, you want to keep Aero on, as then OBS can copy directly from the individual window surface that Aero maintains, which is higher performance and also works even when the window is obscured. Recommended: Disable Aero if using monitor capture, leave enabled if using window capture. If using neither, disabling Aero can have a very minor performance improvement for games. Audio Spoiler Most of this should be self explanatory. If you do not use a mic or other auxiliary input, set this to Disabled to conserve some resources. Advanced Spoiler Changing advanced options should never be done unless you fully understand what you are doing. You can very easily end up with a bad quality stream, throughput problems or excessive CPU usage by changing these settings. Use Multithreaded Optimizations This will use multiple threads for color space conversion, maximizing benefit from multi-core CPUs. There's almost no need to ever turn this off. Recommended: On Process Priority Class Set the windows priority for the OBS process. If you are streaming high CPU games and you want your stream to be the best quality regardless of how laggy your game gets, you can set the process class to Above Normal, which will guarantee OBS gets any CPU it needs before any other apps. This can very easily cause your games and other apps to lag. Recommended: Normal x264 CPU Preset This is an internal quality / time tradeoff scale in x264. A faster preset means less time will be spent encoding, but the image quality will be worse. A slower preset will increase CPU usage, but the image quality will be slightly better. You will almost always get better quality improvements from either a higher FPS, higher resolution or an increased bitrate. Changing this setting to improve quality is not recommended as the improvements are very minor and come at a great CPU cost. Going faster than veryfast will also disable many x264 optimizations and your stream quality will suffer. If you have constant CPU usage (eg a capture card) and know for certain you have spare CPU resources, you can set a slower preset for a very minor quality improvement. If you notice you have low FPS or lagged frames, you may have set your preset too slow. Recommended: veryfast Use CFR This will force OBS to output at a constant frame rate, duplicating frames if necessary to achieve this. This is intended to make the video file compatible with editors that cannot handle VFR, and to maintain constant keyframe interval for streaming services that require keyframe interval to be set. Recommended: On Custom x264 Encoding Settings If you understand x264 internals, you can override any of the internal x264 parameters here. Do not paste anything that you may have found in any guides, you should never need to specify anything here. This is mainly for developers or users who understand the x264 internals to be able to experiment with x264. Recommended: None Force Audio Time to Sync To Video Time This will construct audio timestamps from the video source, usually you would do this if experiencing A/V sync issues with a bad audio device. Recommended: Off, unless you are having sync issues. Allow 61-120 FPS Entry Allows you go go above 60 FPS on the Video settings. Most people only have 60 Hz screens, so going higher FPS is almost never needed. This is an advanced option for people looking to experiment only. Recommended: Off Bind To Interface If you have multiple network interfaces, select the one which you wish OBS to use. Recommended: Default Latency Tuning Factor Automatic Low Latency Mode These are advanced options used to fine tune the "Minimize network impact" option. The effect varies depending on the network conditions. You should not touch these unless instructed to do so by a developer.

Numbers show weak growth
A measure of the U.S. economy intended to signal future activity rose only slightly in October, suggesting growth could stay weak.
The Conference Board said Wednesday that its index of leading indicators increased 0.2 percent in October after a 0.5 percent gain in September. The index is intended to anticipate economic conditions three to six months out.
The strength in October came from lower interest rates, a drop in applications for unemployment benefits, and an increase in demand for large manufactured goods.
Applications for unemployment aid have spiked this month because Superstorm Sandy closed businesses and cut off power to 8 million homes in 10 states.
People can claim unemployment benefits if their workplaces are forced to close and they aren't paid.
In all, only four of the 10 indicators that make up the index improved.
The major areas of weakness were a decline in building permits, a drop in consumer confidence, a decline in the Institute for Supply Management's new orders index and lower stock prices.
"Based on current trends, the economy will continue to expand modestly through the early months of 2013," Ken Goldstein, an economist at the Conference Board, said.
Many analysts predict growth at an annual rate of roughly 3 percent in the July-September quarter, up from the initial estimate of 2 percent reported in October. The government releases its second estimate for third-quarter growth on Thursday.

Community Hospital offers breakthrough treatment for stroke prevention
Community Hospital in Munster, Ind., is pioneering a breakthrough treatment for stroke prevention, using a tiny tool that now has applications for unblocking arteries in the neck in addition to other areas of the body.
The procedure is called carotid stent placement and involves expanding a tiny wire mesh tube called a stent inside the neck's artery to keep it open, therefore reducing the patient's chance of stroke. Because the carotid artery feeds blood to the brain, blockages in it can cause a lack of sufficient blood supply to the brain, resulting in a stroke.
Cardiologist S. N. Makam, M.D., wrote the protocol for this procedure and has completed three cases at Community Hospital. Because the procedure is a new application, Makam gained approval to perform it from the hospital's Institutional Review Board, which oversees research and new protocols at Community Hospital and acts to protect all patients who participate in clinical research programs.
No other Northwest Indiana hospital offers this treatment.
"This is the latest example of how Community Healthcare System remains on the forefront of heart and stroke care. From open heart surgery to newer minimally invasive techniques, Community Healthcare System is forging ahead to offer new treatments and build healthier communities," says John Gorski, senior vice president of hospital operations for Community Healthcare System. The system encompasses Community Hospital in Munster, St. Catherine Hospital in East Chicago, and St. Mary Medical Center in Hobart.
Stents are not new, but their application in the neck is, which makes this quite significant, Makam says.
Page 2
"Many elderly patients are at risk for stroke because their carotid arteries are blocked, yet they are not candidates for the gold standard of treatment, which is surgery," Makam says. "By using stents in these cases, we are able to offer patients who cannot undergo surgery a minimally invasive procedure that may save their lives."
Not all patients with blockages in the neck are candidates for stents.
"Carotid stent placement is not the first line of treatment," Makam says. "Medicines and surgery are still the standard of care, but this provides an important alternative for selective high-risk patients who have no other choice but to live with blockages and the high risk of stroke."
The risks of undergoing carotid stent placement are the same as with any minimally invasive stent procedure. Patients who undergo carotid stent placement face an additional risk of stroke because the neck's arteries feed the brain directly. But, Makam noted, patients needing carotid stents already face a risk of stroke that may be greater than the risk incurred during the stent placement procedure.
Stents have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of various clogged vessels throughout the body. Makam and other physicians have been using stents for years in the heart to prevent heart attacks, and in the kidneys to save this valuable organ. Stents also have been used in the gastrointestinal system to keep pathways open.

R.T. Zavala, G. B. Taylor (NRAO)
Relativistic jets in AGN have been studied for decades on a variety of physical scales, yet we still do not have a firm understanding of the role magnetic fields play in these jets. Some theoretical models predict a central poloidal field surrounded by a helical magnetic field. This helical field may reveal its presence through a gradient in the Faraday rotation measure across the width of the jet. A rotation measure gradient across the jet of the well known quasar 3C\,273 has been interpreted as evidence for a helical magnetic field geometry. We can confirm the existence of this gradient, but we also put forth an alternative explanation. Using the Very Long Baseline Array we created polarization maps of the jet of 3C\,273 corrected for Faraday Rotation. The polarization data are consistent with an interaction between jet components and ambient gas in the quasar. It should be possible to decide whether the helical field geometry or interactions are the source of the observed rotation measure gradient by following the evolution of jet polarization properties over time.

1500 Ocean
1500 Ocean
1500 Orange Ave
Coronado, CA 92118
(619) 522-8459
San Diego restaurant week started this past Sunday. Boyfriend and I started it off by dining at 1500 Ocean inside the Hotel del Coronado. We've never dined at 1500 Ocean before, but it's been on my list of places to try after hearing positive reviews.
It was a bit hard to find once we got to the hotel. Once we found the place, we were greeted warmly and then seated. The dining room is very dimly lit. the decor of the restaurant wasn't that impressive to me. People had talked about the beautiful view, but you can barely see the ocean horizon.
Dinner started off with a basket of sour dough bread and cheese biscuits.
I was excited by the bread combination. I usually love cheese biscuits. The sour dough bread was very hard and chewy. It was kind of like the really thick crust you find on french bread, except that was pretty much the entire bread. I like really chewy foods, so I didn't mind it too much, though I also thought it was too hard and chewy. Boyfriend didn't like it at all because it was so hard. The cheese biscuits were a huge disappointment. I couldn't even finish one. It was tasteless and dry.
We were then given a piece of beef carpaccio. Compliments of the chef. I thought this was a nice touch. The beef was accompanied by a canteloupe mousse and a dollop of pesto sauce. The beef was a bit salty, but mixed with the sweet mouse and pesto was a great combination.
For my appetizer, I chose Handmade Truffled Pappardelle: sweet corn, pancetta, mushroom beurre fondue.
I thought my appetizer was alright. Boyfriend thought the same. Neither of us were that impressed.
Boyfriend got the Hiramasa Crudo: Raw Austrailian yellowtail, avocado mousse, trio of garnishes.
Boyfriend enjoyed this. I thought it was alright. Again, nothing about it wowed me. It was a bit hard to eat in one bite.
Our appetizers were given to us so quickly that we thought the rest of the meal would come out just as fast. But after our appetizers, we waited quite a bit for our main course.
For my main entree, I chose Duck Two Ways: Roasted breast, leg confit, farro, fig gastrique
The food was served on a huge plate. It made the small entree even smaller. I usually love duck. The duck breast didn't taste much like duck. It tasted more like steak. It didn't have much flavor. The duck confit was really salty and I ended up not finishing it.
Boyfriend ordered the Prime beef tasting: Flat iron, braised short rib, crème fraiche potatoes, baby vegetables
I really didn't like the flavors of the meat. The flat iron steak was brushed with a sauce that I didn't like. The braised rib was too salty.
I was really looking forward to dessert. I chose an Ice cream sandwich: Chocolate semifreddo, double chocolate-macadamia nut cookie, fresh berries
The cookie was chewy and sweet, but it was full of walnuts, not macadamia nuts. I'm not a fan of walnuts in my cookies. I also did not like the semifreddo.
Boyfriend chose the Panne Cotta: Blueberry sauce, black pepper shortbread, candied lemon zest
The panna cotta seemed so plain. While it tasted good, I'm used to eating panna cotta topped with a lot of fruit. There was only a few blueberries on the side. Then there were lemon hard candies, which I thought was a really odd thing to put with the dessert.
All in all, it was a pretty disappoint experience. We did have good service though. Our waters were constantly refilled.
10 Responses to "1500 Ocean"
Hi Kirbie – I think you've identified what I call the big problem with Restaurant week. Many places need to pare down their menu for the masses and price, and thus the food quality and even service suffers. But many of these places pretty much have to participate to stay "in the mix". I'd much rather pay full price, and get the best of what a restaurant offers.
I agree with Kirk. We haven't done Restaurant Week in a while since we never seemed to enjoy it much. What a let down on dishes. The names of the dishes sound good but I'm underwhelmed by their plating and by your review of the dishes. This place was at the bottom of my list of places to try. Oh wait, it just fell off the list, hehe.
Hi Kirk- I agree. A lot of restaurants do pare down their menu for restaurant week. It's really made restaurant week less and less enjoyable for me. Boyfriend and I used to try lots of new places, but this year 1500 Ocean was the only new place on our list.
Hi Carol- Towards the end of dinner I was making the observation to Boyfriend that we really haven't found many places we liked out of all the years of participating. Your fell off the list comment is funny. I was drawing an imaginary line for Boyfriend on what I thought of our experience. It started off straight, with a slight dip down with the bread, then up a little with the beef, and then it basically plummeted after that.
Hi Kirbie,
I have to agree w/ everyone here too Every restaurant that I've tried during Restaurant Wk has been disappointing.
I think it's a bad sign when the food comes out THAT quick. It just shows you that it's all premade way in advance.
The only place we're trying this time is Suite and Tender. Maybe Pamplemousse in Del Mar?
Thanks for the review and great pics! The duck looked yummy – so sad that it wasn't! I'm a huge duck lover too.
i was excited for you about restaurant week, but it sucks that the meal fell short of expectations. have you been to oceanaire? they are delicious and i think they are participating as well…
Cheese biscuits?! I could make a meal out of those alone.
Hi Faye- I hope you have some good experiences during restaurant week this time around. I love duck too, but this wasn't very good.
I have been to Oceanaire and was in fact there last night for restaurant week. It did not disappoint! I'll be blogging about it soon.
I love cheese biscuits too. Just not these…these were pretty bad. I don't even know how they managed to make them so tasteless.

Alpha Protocol Trailers For Your Consumption
We're creeping ever closer to June and the release of Sega and Obsidian's "Alpha Protocol" Spy RPG. Not-so-coincidentally, they're upping the promotion level for the game. One new trailer was released in the past two days, along with another series of videos that shows just how much the gameplay can vary based on your choices. Here's the first, a trailer entitled "Small World." Video Games | Alpha Protocol | Small World Trailer XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii The latter series of gameplay footage revolves around a man named Sergei Surkov and just how far you're willing to go to get the information you need from him. At the conclusion of this video, you get links to your three choices. If you're sneaky, you can see them all…but I won't help you.

Come On Down to "The Price Is Right" on PSN Today
One of America's oldest game shows made a PS3 debut today – the classic bidding and pricing game that's been going since 1956 for over 7,000 episodes, The Price is Right. Ludia's downloadable version is likely similar to the Wii and iPhone versions of the game already in existence, but you get to play 19 different pricing games in single and multiplayer modes, as well as take part in the Showcase Showdown – assuming your wheel-spinning goes well enough. No Drew Carey, but hey, you can't win them all. All of that might not make any sense to people who weren't raised on the show, but if you're a member of the show's loyal fanbase…well, you can recreate the experience in your living room soon (for $9.99, anyway).

The Disney Channel and producers of her 'tween series Sonny with a Chance have decided on a temporary adjustment – allowing the spotlight to fall on the popular show within the show, So Random!.
This switch enables the production's third season to resume in January as scheduled and "allows [Demi] the time she needs to get well, without distraction or pressure," a Disney Channel spokeswoman tells Variety. "Again, we extend our ongoing support to Demi and her family as she works to overcome personal issues."
At the end of last month, Lovato, 18, dropped out of the Jonas Brothers tour and "decided to take personal responsibility for her actions and seek help," her rep told PEOPLE. "She regrets not being able to finish her tour, but is looking forward to getting back to work in the near future."

On Jan 16, 11:49*am, "BCC list?"
> just installed the new Thunderbird, and it no longer shows in the sent
> message, the list of email addresses that you sent a BCC to.
> anyone know if that can be done. *They always were listed in the older
> Thunderbird version.
> Thx
In Thunderbird 3.0, select one of your sent messages that you know
included some BCCs, and then "View --> Message Source" (Ctrl+u). You
should see the listing of the BCC header. It is found (still
unexpectedly to me!) near the top of the display, just under some X-
Mozilla headers.
If you *do* see your BCCs there, but they are not shown in the normal
or full headers views in the usual headers pane, then that is a
display settings problem. I have not encountered any difficulty in
seeing the BCCs displayed in all my sent messages in both Thunderbird
2 and Thunderbird 3.

Religious Groups Focus on Flint's Water Woes
Catholic Charities is giving out water and food. The Flint Jewish Federation is collecting water and water filters. And the Michigan Muslim Community Council has distributed more than 120,000 bottles of clean water for Flint, Mich. But these faith organizations are also focused on a longer-term goal: to make sure the impoverished city, where President Obama last weekend declared a state of emergency over its poisoned water, is never so neglected again.

Striking, rare and beautiful this pale smoky quartz bracelet is Scottish, circa 1850. It is designed with alternating square and barrel shaped links. The very pale smoky quartz links are perfectly matched in color with hand made, hand engraved caps. The bracelet is set in 9k gold as is the padlock. The padlock too is a work of art, finely engraved and set with a pale moss agate. The reverse has a locket set with tiny dried pale leaves, a sentimental momento preserved for over 150 years. The padlock opens and closes securely and is the perfect accent for this understated bracelet .
The square stones are beautifully faceted, as are the barrel shaped links. Two square smoky quartz have a tiny edge chip and one gold cap has a slightly rosier hue. This is a superb example of Victorian design and although I have sold similar in agates, this is the only I have seen in all smoky quartz. This is beautiful worn alone, or with other Scottish agate bracelets.
It measures 8 1/4 inches long X 3/4 inches wide and would fit an average to larger wrist. Beautiful! Scotland, circa 1850

After several months of conducting research, holding group meetings and working long hours, The University of Texas-Pan American completed its self-study and submitted the results to the NCAA today, Tuesday, May 3.
Last summer, UTPA initiated a rigorous self-examination of its Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, which is required by the NCAA in order for the program to be recertified. The areas assessed included academic integrity, diversity, gender equality, governance and commitment to rules compliance, and student-athlete well-being.
NCAA requires all Division I schools, which includes UTPA, to undergo an extensive self-study every 10 years to ensure integrity in universities' athletic programs by setting standards for operating them and imposing sanctions when the institutions fail to address issues within their programs. UTPA successfully conducted self-studies in 1994 and in 2003 and the University is hopeful the hard work that went into preparing the current study will meet the requirements set by the NCAA.
UTPA administrators said they are pleased with completing their self-study and meeting their timeline, because the NCAA Division I Board of Directors is in the process of reviewing the existing certification program and considering upgrading it to enhance the use of technology and focus on the student-athlete experience. Despite NCAA's proposed changes and offer to extend the deadline to allow the University an opportunity to be included in a new certification process, the University chose to turn in its report on its original deadline.
"We have spent too much time and done too good a job not to continue," said Dr. Susan R. Griffith, chair of the NCAA self-study steering committee and executive director of the University's Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness. "This has been a very rewarding process."
After reviewing the report, representatives from the NCAA will visit the campus this fall for an evaluation. UTPA will then have an opportunity to respond to analyses on the study from the NCAA's peer review team and certification committee.
Assuming the NCAA approves the study, UTPA should receive its certification in the spring of 2012.

Posture for a healthy back
Good posture involves training your body to stand, walk, sit, and lie in positions where the least strain is placed on supporting muscles and ligaments during movement or weight-bearing activities.
If any of the following guidelines causes an increase of back pain or spreading of pain to the legs, do not continue the activity and seek the advice of a doctor or physical therapist.
The spinal curves
Your spine has natural curves that form an S-shape. Viewed from the side, the cervical and lumbar spines have a lordotic, or a slight inward curve, and the thoracic spine has a kyphotic, or gentle outward curve. The spine's curves work like a coiled spring to absorb shock, maintain balance, and to facilitate the full range of motion throughout the spinal column (see Anatomy of the Spine).
These curves are maintained by two muscle groups, flexors and extensors. The flexor muscles are in the front and include the abdominal muscles. These muscles enable us to flex, or bend forward, and are important in lifting and controlling the arch in the lower back.
The extensor muscles are in the back. These muscles allow us to stand upright and lift objects. Working together these muscle groups act as guy wires to stabilize your spine.
What is good posture?
Posture is the position in which you hold your body upright against gravity while standing, sitting, or lying down.
Proper posture:
- keeps bones and joints in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.
- helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in arthritis.
- decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together.
- prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
- prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
- prevents strain or overuse problems.
- prevents backache and muscular pain.
- contributes to a good appearance.
Proper posture requirements:
- Good muscle flexibility
- Normal motion in the joints
- Strong postural muscles
- A balance of muscles on both sides of the spine
- Awareness of your own posture, plus awareness of proper posture which leads to conscious correction. With much practice, the correct posture for standing, sitting, and lying down (as described below and on the following page) will gradually replace your old posture.
The correct way to stand
- Hold your head up straight with your chin in. Do not tilt your head forward, backward or sideways.
- Make sure your earlobes are in line with the middle of your shoulders.
The correct way to stand.
- Keep your shoulder blades back.
- Keep your knees straight.
- Stretch the top of your head toward the ceiling.
- Tuck your stomach in. Do not tilt your pelvis forward or backward.
- The arches in your feet should be supported.
The correct way to sit
- Sit up with your back straight and your shoulders back. Your buttocks should touch the back of your chair.
- All three normal back curves should be present while sitting. A small, rolled-up towel or a lumbar roll can be used to help you maintain the normal curves in your back. Here's how to find a good sitting position when you're not using a back support or lumbar roll: Sit at the end of your chair and slouch completely. Draw yourself up and accentuate the curve of your back as far as possible. Hold for a few seconds. Release the position slightly (about 10 degrees). This is a good sitting posture.
- Distribute your body weight evenly on both hips.
The correct way to sit.
- Bend your knees at a right angle. Keep your knees even with or slightly higher than your hips. (use a foot rest or stool if necessary). Your legs should not be crossed.
- Keep your feet flat on the floor.
- Try to avoid sitting in the same position for more than 30 minutes.
- At work, adjust your chair height and work station so you can sit up close to your work and tilt it up at you. Rest your elbows and arms on your chair or desk, keeping your shoulders relaxed.
- When sitting in a chair that rolls and pivots, don't twist at the waist while sitting. Instead, turn your whole body.
- When standing up from the sitting position, move to the front of the seat of your chair. Stand up by straightening your legs. Avoid bending forward at your waist. Immediately stretch your back by doing 10 standing backbends. You can assume other sitting positions for short periods of time, but most of your sitting time should be spent as described above so there is minimal stress on your spine.
The correct driving position
Use a back support (lumbar roll) at the curve of your back. Your knees should be at the same level or higher than your hips. Move your seat close to the steering wheel to support the curve of your back. The seat should be close enough to allow your knees to bend and your feet to reach the pedals.
The best position for sleeping and lying down
The best lying or sleeping position may vary, depending on your symptoms. No matter what position you lie in, the pillow should be under your head, but not your shoulders, and should be a thickness that allows your head to be in a normal position. Try to sleep in a position that helps you maintain the curve in your back (such as on your back with a pillow under your knees or a lumbar roll under your lower back; or on your side with your knees slightly bent).
Do not sleep on your side with your knees drawn up to your chest. You may want to avoid sleeping on your stomach, especially on a saggy mattress, since this can cause back strain and can be uncomfortable for your neck. Select a firm mattress and box spring set that does not sag. If necessary, place a board under your mattress. You can also place the mattress on the floor temporarily if necessary. If you've always slept on a soft surface, it may be more painful to change to a hard surface. Try to do what is most comfortable for you. Try using a back support (lumbar support) at night to make you more comfortable. A rolled sheet or towel tied around your waist may be helpful. When standing up from the lying position, turn on your side, draw up both knees and swing your legs on the side of the bed. Sit up by pushing yourself up with your hands. Avoid bending forward at your waist.
Preventing back pain and injury
Self care. Using correct posture and keeping your spine in alignment are the most important things you can do for your back. The lower back (lumbar curve) bears most of your weight, so proper alignment of this section can prevent injury to your vertebrae, discs, and other portions of your spine. If you have back pain, you may need to make adjustments to your daily standing, sitting, and sleeping habits and learn proper ways to lift and bend (see Self Care for Neck & Back Pain). Your workspace may need to be rearranged to keep your spine from slouching. Because extra pounds can make back pain worse, you should maintain a weight that is appropriate for your height and body frame.
Exercise. Regular exercise is important to prevent back pain and injury. A program of strengthening, stretching and aerobic exercises will improve your overall fitness level. Research has shown that people who are physically fit are more resistant to back injuries and pain, and recover quicker when they do have injuries, than those who are less physically fit (see Exercise for a Healthy Back).

Second Workshop for Advanced PhD Candidates from North American Universities and Israel on the Holocaust
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, 17-21 November 2013
Call for Papers
Submission deadline: 31 May 2013
The Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies, University of Southern California and the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem wish to announce the second joint workshop for advanced PhD candidates working on Holocaust topics.
This workshop intends to bring together graduate students from the United States, Canada, and Israel to exchange ideas and share their research results on the Holocaust, including its antecedents and aftermath. Yad Vashem's Research Institute and the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies encourage PhD candidates to submit their applications for the workshop, which will be held this time from 17 to 21 November at USC in Los Angeles, USA. All topics on the Holocaust are open for consideration.
The sessions of the workshop will consist of presentations by the participants on their particular topics followed by discussion periods.
Workshop participants will be allocated time to utilize the USC Archives and Library, as the Shoah foundation Archive, the largest central repository of Holocaust video testimonies. The archives' more than 52,000 personal testimonies are complemented by an extensive library holding on the Holocaust as well as rare documents and books from the Third Reich plus original transcripts from the Nuremberg trials and private papers of Jewish emigrants at USC Doheny library.
Application Qualifications and Procedures
• Applicants must be registered in a university PhD program in the United States, Canada or Israel
• Applicants from the US and Canada must have finished their course work and be in an advanced stage of their research.
All application materials must be submitted electronically in English by 31 May. Selections will be announced by 30 June 2013. An application consists of:
• Completed application form
• One-page abstract proposal
• List of relevant USC archival holdings for the project
• Short academic biography (15-20 lines)
Applications should be sent to both
the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem, Jerusalem, Israel; tel. (972-2-6443480); email: email@example.com,
and the Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies, University of Southern California; tel. (1-213-740-1668); email: email@example.com.
The submitted applications will be discussed between the two partner institutions. Final selection of applications for US-American and Canadian participants will be made by the University of Southern California. Israeli applications will be decided upon by Yad Vashem.
Participants from the United States and Canada should contact Prof. Wolf Gruner regarding all travel and workshop details; Israeli participants should contact Yad Vashem's Research Institute. Additional funding for travel may be available upon request.
This workshop is a continuation of the international exchange workshop program started by the International Institute for Holocaust Research, Yad Vashem, in 1999.

Limiting Textarea Text
2. The Script
Join the Discussion
More of this Feature
What we are actually doing is using the onkeyup javascript method to execute a javascript every time your visitor presses and releases a key on their keyboard (so that the input gets tested after every key press and not just after your visitor has finished writing a two thousand word essay in the field). This calls a javascript function that tests the length of the field and compares it to the maximum size that we specify and when that size is reached or exceeded the appropriate action is taken.
To start with, here's the code for our textarea field:
onkeyup="textLimit(this, 40);"></textarea>
This passes the current text area field along with a character limit (in this case 40) to a function called textLimit. It is this function which creates the nice effect of having the maximum field size match the size of the field. If you use a different value for the second argument then that will be used as the maximum field size and your visitor will either be unable to fill the complete field (if you make it smaller) or the field will be scrollable (if you make it bigger).
So now let's move on to look at the javascript function. Here's the code that you need to add to the head section of your page in order for the field length restriction to be applied:
if (field.value.length > maxlen + 1)
alert('your input has been truncated!');
if (field.value.length > maxlen)
field.value = field.value.substring(0, maxlen);
The two lines that are not in bold produce the message that is displayed when your visitor tries pasting something into the field and more than one character is lost when the field is truncated. This let's your visitor know that what they have tried to paste has made the content of the field much larger than is allowed and that the excess will be truncated. If you don't want a message in this instance then just omit these two lines.

To the editor:
I'm pleased to write on behalf of Judge Tim Searer and encourage the voters of Mifflin County to trust him with another term as our President Judge. I've known Judge Searer since his high school and collegiate baseball playing days.
Years ago, when he was doing some umpiring of high school and college baseball, it was always a pleasure when he and his partner, J.T. Thompson, would be assigned to one of our games at Mount Union. We always knew that the game would be officiated impartially, the rules thoroughly understood and correctly applied and that this crew would work hard so that our student athletes could engage fairly in the competition.
I've observed much of the same during Judge Searer's years on the bench. His record of experience and how his decisions are regularly upheld by higher courts is indicative of his knowledge and abilities. He makes sure the playing field is level for all who appear in his courtroom.
Over the years I've been the head baseball coach at Mount Union, I've seen many changes in the high school game. I've even made a few pitching changes myself. Yet one thing has always been a constant for me. You don't make a change without a reason. When an athlete is performing at the top of his or her game, you don't take him out of the contest. Judge Searer is at the top of his game. There is absolutely no reason to bring in a rookie. I'm voting for Judge Searer and ask you to do so, too.

How it got is name:
Ms. Powell was born in 1889 and died in 1970. She was the daughter of Lysander Hayes (i.e. direct descendants to the original McGavock family that settled in Middle Tennessee after the American Revolution). Hayes owned the Midway Plantation, which at one time included the Brentwood Country Club, Meadowlake, McGavock Farms, and the Virginia Springs office park area. Ms. Powell grew up on this property, rode horses, etc. When she became an adult, she married a Powell and moved to Johnson City, Tennessee.

The search for investment tycoon Allen Stanford, who is under investigation for billions of dollars in fraud, is finally over.
The FBI agents located Stanford in Fredericksburg, Va, where they served him with a civil complaint from the Securities and Exchange Commission. Stanford also gave up his passport and promised not to flee.
CBN News spoke with will air an interview with Bill Dallas, an investment banker who spent two years in prison for investment fraud. Click play for his comments.
Too Good to Be True?
The SEC is investigating the Texas billionaire for investment fraud. Investigators believe he head up an $8 billion investment scheme, that promised investors an unrealistic rate of return.
Authorities say they are still looking for billions of unaccounted investor dollars. They have not charged Stanford with any crime, but they did shut down three of his companies this week. SEC officials allege that he lied about the strategy for his investments.
Big Red Flag
Two years ago, the Stanford International Bank investment portfolio earned more than 10 percent, more than twice what the S&P 500 earned. The bank assured depositors that a team of experts was analyzing the investment risk daily. They were told the institution was going out of its way to make sure the money was safe.
"Especially in these difficult times, our success speaks for itself," the 58-year-old Texas billionaire wrote in a mid-2008 newsletter. "I have an unbridled optimism and enthusiasm for our future.
But regulators say the Stanford portfolio was basically a "black box." A lot of the funds were tied up in real estate and private equity companies that are not traded on public stock markets.
None of the bank's CDs were registered with the SEC, regulators said. And rather than a team of analysts, authorities say Stanford and his longtime friend, James M. Davis, were the only ones overseeing the money.
Steve Wells, a forensic accountant and Western Kentucky University professor, said the bank sugarcoated its numbers by relying on management estimates and ignoring future credit losses.
"That's a red flag to me," Wells said. "Big time."
The company also made it hard to tell exactly what their investments were. Any accountant who looked at those reports would have told investors to be cautious, Wells said.
Catered to Big-Money Clients
Stanford bank employees were also told to arrange visits only for clients with $5 million or more to invest. But some doubted what clients were being promised.
A one-time top broker at the bank says asking too many questions eventually got him fired.
Early this year, regulators noticed an alarming increase in wire transfers as Stanford International Bank tried to move money out of its investment accounts. Clients were prohibited from cashing out, regulators said.

In the midst of his campaign for governor, Nathan Deal faces such dire financial troubles that he must sell his home to avert foreclosure or bankruptcy.It's a sad story. At least, it's sad for a story about a politically connected millionaire who loses most of his millions trying to help his daughter and son-in-law start a sporting goods business. And you have to wonder how this situation didn't come to light before the GOP primary.
Even if Deal liquidates all his assets, however, he still might be unable to repay a nearly $2.3 million business loan, documents reviewed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution indicate.
But left unsaid in the response to this story today is why this is so bad. Deal supporters can brush aside concerns about bad judgment — one of the quicker routes to financial ruin for people and governments — by pointing to the family angle. Presumably Deal got in too deep because he wanted to help his family.
But that doesn't address the reality of having a governor with such serious financial issues. That kind of thing makes you vulnerable. It makes you vulnerable to the state contractor who's got his own financial issues, but enough cash for a kickback.
It makes you vulnerable, but it doesn't mean you'll do something illegal. And so the primary question in Georgia's gubernatorial race remains the same: Do you trust Nathan Deal, or do you trust Roy Barnes?
Either way, Georgia, good luck with that.
Update: I should have noted that Libertarian John Monds is also in this race. It's probably not a good sign for him that I'd forgotten he existed. But, then, I live in North Carolina these days.
Update: Shorter Nathan Deal via the AP's Shannon McCaffrey: Also, I forgot about $2.85 million in other loans I failed to disclose. Sorry about that.

Kane's most experimental play, and the one that represents the culmination of her quest to make form and content match, was her last – 4.48 Psychosis – completed shortly before her suicide in 1999 and produced posthumously. As with Crave, the playtext of 4.48 Psychosis presents a challenge to anyone wishing to stage it. On the page, there are no characters, nor is there any indication of how many actors are required. The text is laid out following the conventions of a modernist poem, rather than those of a playtext. This is a deliberate attempt to suggest the experience of psychological collapse, and in particular what happens to a person's mind when they suffer a psychotic breakdown, when the barriers which …
