Well done so far. My passion is thermal gliders so nice to have one to try. Tried for an hour so constructive comment... 1) I couldn't shut of power fully but I noticed the prop folded back so obviously it does occur. My electric thermaller has speed controller which I have set on brake which folds prop instantly. I'm looking to design my wedgy prototype for a simulator so will keep my eye on what you're doing.
I just discovered the thermals and in for me, the glider performs as it should for it's class in a thermal. I would like to be able to adjust ballast according to thermals. I'm also thinking bigger thermal cells would be good but I'm sure this will come as and when you enlarge the landscape. I agree with the brilliant sky effect and complete with chemtrail!
Oh yes, the prop folds back when speed reduced but still would like a brake.

Not working for me
I downloaded and installed the sim but it will not launch.
If I look at the Task Manager in WinXP Pro SP3, I see a DW20.EXE start up and gather some memory at 50% CPU on a Core Duo system. Then it deallocates memory, drops CPU and disappears. Nothing appears on my screen.
Does the sim expect certain outbound ports to be available?

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\DirectX for Managed Code\1.0.2911.0
If not you should install this version of DirectX . The idea was that the installer checks for this, but it appears this doesn't always work. Also .NET 2.0 should be installed, but that usually isn't the problem. The sim also downloads the introtext and a couple of billboard images at startup but this uses the default http port 80 and shouldn't be a problem.
Hope this helps,

The DirectX was the key, machine had 1.0.2909.0 on it. The update to DirectX fixed the problem and all loaded. Will comment later regarding the sim. FYI. I model airplanes for ClearView and FMS plus a couple for CRRCsim too. How critical would you like the comments?

Sailplane is brilliant. I increased windspeed and velocity to max and set on spot view mode. I then flew around the slope and wind turbines on low speed to find that I could keep the craft virtually motionless. This gave quite a realistic feel.
I'm also impressed the way different prop revolutions appear.

OK, I understand this is early in the development.
The main thing I notice about the models is what appears to be a non-existent or lack of a real "drag wall" for each of the models.
The flat plat P-51 should increase drag quickly at a higher angle of attack and at faster speeds as flat plate airfoils are inefficient when cutting through the air unless it is running a Kfm4 or another Kfm wing. They also increase drag more than lift at higher angles-of-attack.
The Cessna seems too efficient in the air also as it continues to build speed when I would expect the drag to be too much to continue accelerating.
The drag seems about right for the sailplane but then the inverted loop seems too easy with the polyhedral wing and in general too easy to roll with such a large wingspan. But IAN a sailplane flyer.
The drag on the Extra seems about right in flight but the model seems to accelerate too slowly to get up to speed at the take-off roll. But IAN a 3D flyer.
So from a parameter standpoint the airfoil drag does not seem right and the total drag of the type of airplane seems a bit low for the more draggy airframes.
I took a look at your .par file and see you have lift and drag at different angles, I presume angles of attack??? Maybe more points are needed. Also, maybe you want to group lift and drag at the same angles to reduce redundancy in the .par and tie more closely to known airfoil POLARs.
Perhaps a parameter for total model drag would help too.
Also, most modelers use a parameter called thrust to weight to determine overall performance. It makes a big difference how the RC model performs compared to a full size airplane and between one motor and another.
While many RC planes do not fly with a scale appearance, they do fly the way they fly. Take for example an RC foam P-51 with a 1.4 to 1 thrust to weight ratio, it practically leaps off the ground with very little roll-out and climbs at a very steep angle. Not really scale flying, but it is true to the RC model.
I hope that makes sense and is received in the spirit given.

How about hiding all the detailed stuff away in the .par file for those that want to tinker with the details but provide an easy-to-use model parameter adjuster. Then give people the basic sliders to adjust the model flight.
Rolls Faster ..............+............... Slower
Loops Bigger ...............+............... Smaller
RudderYaw More ..............+................ Less
SnapRolls HardSnaps .........+................ NoSnaps
3D Effects Very3D ..............+................ No3D
Power More .................+................ Less
Weight More .................+................ Less
Lift More .................+................ Less
Drag More .................+................ Less
Dihedral More .................+................ Less
Thrust/Weight More ..................+................ Less
Then with these 11 adjustments or more if we need any, an average person could change the sliders and publish their 11 parameters they used to make the model their own. Maybe even on a -10.0 to +10.0 scale. Then, the parameters would be known for typical model types at different scales. Make it cut and paste so they could share the parameters in forums.
In the .par file, I would love to choose an airfoil from a database of airfoils that we can add custom airfoils to. Choose from a database a motor, prop and battery or an engine and prop that could be added to. Grab the most basic information from the RC models published specs like span, length, flying weight, maybe CG and perhaps distance of rudder/elevator from CG. and then tinker with the rest through the sliders. Or since there are so few additional, add them to the list above.
Then if an individual changes everything and doesn't like it, allow changing back to the original .par file published with the model.
I know this would be pretty complex behind the scenes, but I think making .par changes easy would allow an explosion of new models for the sim.
<rcsimwishes mode="off">
Ahhh well, all good wishes anyway.

That error seems to indicate the sim configuration file is corrupt. Try deleting it (c:\program files\RC Desk Pilot\frameworkconfig.xml) and restarting the sim. You will have to change your settings again (if it ever worked in the first place). Can you provide some information on when this error occurs?
PeterPerfect, thanks for the compliment!
Thank you for your detailed review of the airplanes. This is certainly very useful info and I will use it when working on the airplanes. I hope you also had a bit of fun flying them .
I like your idea with the sliders. I'm not quite ready yet to support user-built models, but I hope to make the sim as customizable as possible (as long as it's compatible with the business model). I definitely need to build a custom model editor for the animations and collision detection. Compared to that a simple parameter editor is a walk in the park
Of course you're always welcome to send the critical comments you didn't want to say in public as a PM

happens during "loading aircraft"
happened after deleting the xml as well
I'm downloading right now and am going to test on Windows 7 x64. I'll report back soon!
EDIT: Works perfectly! It automatically calibrated my controller inputs, the graphics are great, and the flying physics are pretty good! I really like what you've done here. Great work.

To the Editor: Dr Liu and colleagues1 demonstrated wide variation in the use of specialist anesthesia staff to provide sedation for endoscopy. They also estimated that 65% to 85% of endoscopy patients are low risk and inferred that "a substantial share of the spending for gastroenterology anesthesia may be considered potentially discretionary."
However, important detail necessary to study that hypothesis is missing from their data. First, there is no comparison of safety or complications between the 2 patient cohorts. Second, there is no comparison of patient comfort or satisfaction. Third, there is no information about the relative efficiency of the 2 procedure cohorts (measured both by time taken for procedures and by capacity to visualize the entire bowel and detect and treat disease found). The authors have described variation in sedation practice but not equivalence of quality of practice. Endoscopist-supervised sedation may happen frequently but that does not make it equivalent.

TravelPod Member ReviewsPetite Auberge San Francisco
Despite the name, the rooms are quite generous in size. Love the free cheese and biscuits and wine the hotel provides each evening for hotel guests. Petite Auberge is a small hotel that exudes a homely atmosphere but maintains more amenities than I have seen in larger chain hotels. It won be over with the all day complementary coffee served in the lounge.

Historical Traveler Reviews Petite Auberge San Francisco
A little slice of Paris
I stayed at The Petit Auberge recently and absolutely adored it. When you walk in from the street you feel you have been transported to Paris. The building is old with a creaky elevator, windows that open and decorated in charming country French. My "cozy queen" room was small but indeed cozy and had everything I needed. Everything was spotless and the bathroom had nice Aveda products and bathrobes. It was a warm night and I was offered a fan by the very helpful receptionist. Downstairs there is a wonderful cozy living room with couches and a fireplace where the afternoon wine reception is held. It is a lovely private area which would be great for reading/resting. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding with a quiche, homemade bread, muffins, sliced fresh fruit and beverages. This inn combines the charm of a bed-and-breakfast with the privacy and service of a small hotel. Great convenient location, 2 blocks to the cable cars and a 10 minute walk to Union Square. The only thing that could be improved was the neighborhood which is less charming but quite safe and not too noisy.
A find earning a return visit
We stayed one night in this adorable French Country Inn in the heart of San Francisco. We were warmly and enthusiastically greeted by the bellman/concierge(?) and taken up to our immaculate fireplace room via this incredible caged elevator. This set the tone for a very pleasant stay. Food, wine, amenities were all excellant, as reported. This place should be on everyone's list as a special and reasonable place to stay in the city.
My favorite hotel in San Francisco
The weekend was superb and Petite Auberge was a sweet surprise. Since my weekend stay I've been telling everyone who will listen what a deal this little hotel happens to be. Even today I took a travelling friend by and double-parked on the street while she in to see the place! The rooms have character and ambiance, the meals, coffee and tea were nice and the fireplace is a nice touch. The hotel personnel helped me with every little thing I needed. The price was great. The location was very good for a shopping, gallery weekend, North Beach, Union Square, MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) and Glide Methodist church. Trust me, I am getting the word out!
A sweet getaway
My husband and I passed by the Petite Auberge by chance on our way from a hotel that we checked into but didn't like. The Petite was warm and cheery. You're immediately transported to a happy place. The host showed us some rooms and all the common areas and we checked out of the other hotel and into the Petite Auberge. Our room had a fireplace and a very comfortable queen sized bed with a very cute teddy bear waiting for us. The afternoon wine was nice after a day of sightseeing and gave us an opputunity to relax and rest our feet and meet the other couples staying there. The host gave us some great restaurant recommendations in walking distance and provided us with maps and directions.Breakfast is amazing. Imagine having a great cook come into your home and preparing fresh baked breads, quiches, pastries and cobblers. They never rush you so you're able to eat and read the newspaper (left at your door each morning) at your own pace. Or, you can have breakfast brought to your room. All in all, we felt very much at home with the good natured staff and the manager (Carol?) and will return again.
Wonderful Experience
We stayed at this cute little inn for three days. We didn't have a car but it was so close to everything it was great! Only two blocks to the cable cars and so close to Union Square and shopping too. The breakfast was wonderful, I particularly liked the quiche and fresh fruit. And the wine reception was a lovely touch. A great thing to come back to right before dinner time, not to mention the fresh baked cookies! The cozy common area was a nice place to sit by the fire and talk to the other guests or just relax and listen to the French music. The staff was very friendly as well, offering to arrange airport transportation for us as well as dinner reservations and giving us great directions and suggestions whenever we were in need. It really added that personal touch. Our room had a fireplace which was very romantic as was the cute French decor. The room was bright and sunny and surprisingly quiet given that the bulding is on a busy street. All in all I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to stay in a smaller hotel in the downtown area.
Little bit of heaven
A very quiet oasis in the middle of downtown San Francisco. Like a quaint French countryside inn. The morning breakfast was fantastic and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful.
Home away from home...
The Petite Auberge sure feels like a little oasis in the middle of buzzling San Francisco. We felt very much at home and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere the Petite Auberge has to offer. The rooms are small, but then again so are the room rates. We paid $99:-. Breakfast was the best we had during our 3 week vacation in California and the wine reception by the fireplace was very nice. The location was great, only 2� blocks to Union Square. The staff was friendly, except for the valet attendent who didn�t even attempt to help us with our luggage when we checked out. He waited and watched while we dragged our suitcases down the stairs to our car. Other than that, we had a great time staying at this little French country inn and can definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small hotel with personality. I however do not recommend it for business travelers, as there is no or little work space in the rooms. But for us tourists, it was perfect.
La Petite Auberge is a treat!
This hotel really is like a little French inn, right down to the music. The staff is super friendly, the buffet breakfast (included) is FABULOUS, and the included daily reception and 24-hour a day homemade cookies and beverages are great touches! Our room was very small, but that wasn't an issue. Street noise was loud, but I figured it was par for the course when staying downtown - an excellent area, by the way, one block below Grace Cathedral. I highly recommend this hotel!
C'est bonne!
We stayed at this lovely Inn 2 weeks ago for 3 nights. It had a great location - a block and half to the cable car and 2 blocks to Union Square.Service was great - personable and attentive. Breakfast was included and was very nice, and afternoon refreshments were also great.
The room was cozy, clean and comfortable. This was a great bargain for the price. I would stay here or at the neighboring White Swan anytime!
Enjoyed our stay
stayed here 2 nights recently. Booked a standard room, close to shopping and restaurants. The staff was very courteous. The happy hour was interesting; met foks from Atlanta, Seattle, and Paris. Had a great stay, would definitely stay here again!

Pregnant Minnie Driver has yet to confirm the father of her baby ... until now.
"It's the Easter bunny," she joked to PEOPLE at An Evening with The Riches at The Paley Center for Media on Friday night. "I've never had sex," she said with a sly grin as she gestured to her belly.
All kidding aside, The Riches has yet to be picked up for a third season, but Driver says she would "absolutely" love to continue working on the F/X show. "Even though she has a bun in the oven," her costar Eddie Izzard pointed out.
She agreed: "Even though! Yeah, my god, it's just the best job ever for all of us, I think. I mean, I really think I can say that for all of us because everyone keeps saying it. Everybody loves it."
After the panel, audience members rushed Driver to get their The Riches box sets signed. One fan actually brought Driver a gift – a jar filled with her pregnancy craving. "Thanks for the olives!" she said to the woman.
Thanks for the laughs, Minnie!

SOUTH BEND, Ind. - Manti Te'o is lighter, quicker and - best of all for Notre Dame - back for a senior season and ready to leave his mark as one of the greatest linebackers in Fighting Irish history.
"Since it's my senior (year) I want to do this. I want to win to make sure Notre Dame is back up there," the Punahou School graduate said at Thursday's media day.
"This is my only time to actually have control over that. Once I leave, I don't have. While I'm in that locker room and on that field, I have good control of what is going on."
Article Photos
Manti Te'o has 324 career tackles, the eighth-best total in Notre Dame history.
AP file photo
Te'o enters the season as the No. 8 tackler in school history with 324.
"He's a big-bodied guy. He's fast. He's got real good initial quickness. He's got an instinctual and intangible nose for the ball," said Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco.
"He's got a spectacular skill set and the intangible blue-collar mentality, so it's a unique combination."
Te'o had to make a tough decision on his future in December - stay in school or head to the NFL? He discussed it with his parents, saying he didn't want to miss out on a final season in South Bend.
"I know that if I prepare myself, both mentally and physically, and spiritually, I'll be fine and whatever happens, happens. I told my parents, if I come out my senior game, my last game of the season against Wake Forest, whether I come out in pads or on crutches, it will be worth it," he said earlier.
Te'o had already faced a choice regarding football once before. After his freshman year, he decided to forgo a Mormon mission and return to school.
"It was very difficult in totally different ways," he said. "Going on my mission was an experience like no other. It was something to help me grow as a person. Leaving for the NFL would help my family financially, so there were different situations, but I used the same tools to make those de-cisions - I prayed about it and talked to my family about it and weighed the pros and cons of each. I think I've made the right decision for me and my family."
Te'o, listed at 6-foot-2 and 255 pounds, certainly wants to play in the NFL next year, and part of the reason for losing 15 pounds was to keep himself stronger and injury free.
"I think it naturally happened when I watched what I ate," he said. "I made the sacrifices I needed to make to be on the top of my game. People talk about injuries and the possibility of injuries, but a lot of those injuries occur when you are tired or out of shape, muscle pulls, stuff like that. If I'm in the best shape of my life, I shouldn't have to worry about that stuff."
Fellow inside linebacker Dan Fox was one of those overjoyed to hear that Te'o was coming back.
"The opportunity you can go play in the NFL, and for him to come back, that meant a lot to us and the defense," said Fox, who became a starter last year.
"He helps me out a lot. One thing I noticed is he's starting to trust me more - not that he didn't before. You can rely on somebody a little more the more they play."
Te'o's teammates rely him as a leader who will not hesitate to speak up. With a coach's knowledge of the Irish defense, he expects accountability from himself and those around him.
"He's hard on himself, and the moments where he may lose focus, or he may not give it his all, even those moments are decreasing," said Diaco, a former college linebacker at Iowa.
"Not only is he going to be one of the very best linebackers that ever played here, if not the best, (but) one of the very best linebackers to ever play college football."
Te'o said he hasn't given his place in Notre Dame history a lot of thought.
"I hope I stand out as one of the best, but I don't get too caught up in all that stuff. Hopefully at the end of the day I'm one of the best," he said.

I have been wearing these tops for years and LOVED THEM! I have always stocked up but I just ordered 4 online only to find out that they changed the straps. I am a C cup and have always worn a medium which provided excellent support but the ones I just received are a complete DISAPPOINTMENT. The straps are too thin (different from the ones they have made in the past) and don't provide the support they used causing my chest to fall out from the top. These have always been my go-to tops but it looks like I will have to start searching elsewhere. A very sad day.

This is much, much more comfortable than the other bra camisoles I've tried. I also love the neckline and the length -- I am short waisted, and most tops of this kind are far too long on me. I would like a little more coverage in the bra part, but this one is OK unless you're wearing a very clingy shirt. An almost perfect product.

I liked the v-neck on these, but was disappointed with the fit. Admittedly, I am tall (5' 10") and have a long torso, but I haven't owned a non-crop top that was this short on me since belly shirts were a thing. I'm not very familiar with American Apparel as a brand, so it may be that the sizing is typical for this brand, but the shirt definitely runs small by market standards. I'm a size 8, B cup, usually wear a M at most stores, and I ordered this in a large. It only comes down to about my belly button, squashes my boobs more than any sports bra, and rides up during the day because it's so tight! The straps are not adjustable and are uncomfortably short. Overall, feels like a compression shirt.
Pluses: Thick enough you can't see patterned bras through it.

This is my favorite cami... I had never bought anything from American Apparel before, but now I am a fan. Totally supportive, this is great for when I don't feel like wearing a bra. I am a 32D and I wear a small. It holds me in, but also creates some cleavage which is hard to find in other camisoles.

These are my new favorite camis! When I was at my local aa outlet I found one of these for $6! I'm probably giong to buy a couple more while they're so cheap right now! These are the best fitting camis I've ever found. the v-neck is super flattering and it isn't too long, and the straps are nice and thick. The bra is even pretty supportive for my 32 C/D boobs, and even gives some good cleavage. I am 5' 105lbs and a small was perfect!

These were my very favorite to wear under other clothes, especially in the winter. I had two -- both in medium, and both fit perfectly (I have a 33" bust). However, I bought a new one, and the elastic in it was at least 4 inches to wide, so it slipped up and was totally uncomfortable. I think that it's important to make sure that sizing is consistent in products -- and match with size charts.

I lied. These tanks are great, though the elastic does start to get uncomfortable if you wear them all the time. More colors, please!

The undersides of my arms were hurting in this within 20 minutes because the elastic trim is so abrasive. Otherwise, the fit was really good.

When I first bought these they were the perfect fit in a size M and were the best bra substitute I'd found. I am 5'2", 105lbs, 32D. When they started to wear out I ordered more. The elastic slips up over my breasts by the middle of the day and the straps are either stretched out or they came too loose. I am so disappointed. This was my favorite undergarment. I would love to see more size consistency. Am I a small now?

I had an AA white cami that I loved and wore out. When it came time to replace it, I bought one in tan, black and white. Strange, the white cami was too big and the tan & black feel almost too small ... even though they're all the same size. I think that the sizing isn't quite right ... I had to order XL. I am always a M or L. Even with the XL, it doesn't seem to be long enough for my torso. I'm keeping them and wear them but they're not my favorite.

I'm an E cup, 140lbs, size UK 12, 5 ft 5. This top is FULLY supportive in size L - I can go out braless in this, it's shocking. Amazing.
by lyndsay
May 15, 2009
This is a great basic cami. It is comfortable, supportive, and cute enough to wear with jeans just by itself. I bought this one in nude, and it matches my skin so perfectly I'm almost afraid to wear it out of the house for fear of appearing naked!
I am 4'11" 90 lbs and the small fits perfectly. I cannot comment on its being too short. I have never tried on anything that has been too short on me!
This is a great basic purchase, highly recommended.

Halos, Harlots, Spuds and Suds This Weekend!
September 27, 2013 - Jim Price
A unique celebration of women in the arts, and a popular celebration of the potato will help bring plenty of live music to area stages this weekend.
The inaugural "Halos & Harlots, A Celebration of Female Music and Art," will take place on both Friday and Saturday night at Aldo's. Organized and anchored by Placid Promotions and area female-fronted progressive rock band Lies, Inc., Halos & Harlots will spotlight the creative endeavors of local and regional women in a variety of avenues. Music will be in the forefront, but there will also be female arts, crafts, businesses and associations benefiting women present at the event as well.
The two nights of Halos & Harlots will feature different musical focuses under different headings. Friday night will be the "Heaven" portion of the event, and will emphasize female folk, acoustic and alternative performers. The music begins at 6 p.m. with an acoustic set by the host band, Lies, Inc. Performing afterward will be Harrisburg-based singer and songwriter Mycenea Worley, Indiana-based acoustic duo Melville Walbeck, Dubois-based singer and songwriter Jen Bertiaux, State College folk-rock group Pure Cane Sugar, Johnstown's The Lux Republic, and Harrisburg-based alternative rockers Gypsy Caravan. (A Pittsburgh-based group, Wings for Armor, had to withdraw from Friday's band slate.)
Saturday's half of Halos & Harlots, "Hell," will focus on the harder and darker side of the female musical spectrum. Starting the evening will be acoustic sets by Somerset County based group AED and Indiana-based singer/songwriter Elizabeth Ellen. Frederick, Maryland-based group Cassandra Syndrome will then introduce their distinctive brand of symphonic, operatic heavy metal with a style and sound not far removed from '70s-era progressive rockers Renaissance and current-day metal rockers Lacuna Coil. Western Maryland-based modern rockers Shadowburn then perform, followed by the first area appearance by Pittsburgh female-led metal powerhouse Fist Fight in the Parking Lot. The host band, Lies, Inc. will then play a full electric set, before industrial rockers Sixteen Cylinder close out the night.
A portion of the proceeds from Halos & Harlots will go towards Altoona's Domestic Abuse Project.
Ebensburg will again celebrate the spud on Saturday with the 22nd annual Potatofest in downtown Ebensburg. The festival will feature more than 200 crafters and vendors, numerous food vendors offering a smorgasbord of potato-based items such as potato pizza, ham pot pies, regular and sweet potato fries, potato pastries and candy, and much more. And live music will take place over four stages spaced throughout the festival area. Some of the highlighted performers include finalist from the TV show "The Voice" Casey Weston, the return of Pittsburgh-based melodic pop-rock group J.D. Eicher & the Goodnights, local bluegrass group Mountain City Grass, Johnstown's Whiskey River Panhandlers, classic rockers Totem and Fuse, and more. Admission to Potatofest is free; and to avoid parking hassles in downtown Ebensburg, free "Tater Express" shuttle bus transportation will be available from Admiral Peary Vo-Tech, the Cambria County Fairgrounds, Pennsylvania Highlands Community College and Lake Rowena.
From spuds to suds…For beer connoisseurs, a special fundraiser for Altoona Community Theatre takes place on Saturday evening at Altoona's Railroaders Museum. The Rails and Ales SeptemBeerFest begins at 4 p.m., and will feature beer, ale and cider samplings from a number of brew crafters, complimentary hot dogs, sauerkraut and pretzels, and live music by the duos Tyne Palazzi & Pat McGinnis and Jack & Lilly. Tickets are $25 in advance and available at the Brew Zoo, or $30 at the gate. Attendees must be at least 21 years of age, and legal ID is required.
There are lots of performers and shows to check out, so support live music this weekend and upcoming week! And if you plan to celebrate heavily while doing so, please designate a driver or call a cab!

Publisher's Description
Heartwarming stories that recall Christmases past:
· O.Henrys all-American tale, "The Gift of the Magi," originally published in 1906.
· Leo Tolstoys Russian folktale, "Where Love Is, There God Is Also" from 1887.
· And Charles Dickens little-known classics "The Seven Poor Travellers" and "What Christmas Is As We Grow Older," from 1854 and 1851.
"One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until ones cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas…. She had been saving every penny she could for months, with this result. Twenty dollars a week doesnt go far. Expenses had been greater than she had calculated. They always are. Only $1.87 to buy a present for Jim. Her Jim." from the beginning of "The Gift of the Magi"
Author Bio
O.Henry was the pen name of William Sydney Porter, an American storyteller, born in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1862. Leo Tolstoy's novels, such as War and Peace, are classics of the genre. 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of his death. Charles Dickens was the most popular storyteller of the nineteenth century. Throughout America, people would gather by the thousands around seaports and train stations when word was coming that a new installment of a Dickens' book was about to arrive.

The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
It's been a while since the S&P 500 Index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) has seen a day as bad as this one -- more than three months, as a matter of fact. Stumbling to its largest single-day losses of the year, the S&P fell more than 1.8%, or 27.8 points, to close at 1,487 Monday. Here's how bad today was: Only 16 of the 500 stocks in the index posted gains, and just four stocks advanced more than 1%. With that in mind, today's three biggest laggards seem particularly awful.
F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV ) a network technology company, lost more than any other stock in the index, dropping 7.1%. The stock was downgraded to a "sell" rating by one research firm, with its $70 target price implying a 25% drop, even from today's depressed levels. One reason for the decline was today's announced venture with Websense, which the research firm Off Wall Street doesn't think will work out in F5's favor.
The second-largest decliner of the day was Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) , which cratered 6.8% as the business announced it would sell some of its highly desired land assets in Oklahoma on the cheap to China Petroleum & Chemical. Chesapeake shareholders hate to see fire sales like today's, where acres went for $2,400 apiece, far less than the $3,400 per acre some analysts expected.
The last of the day's underperformers was life insurance company Genworth Financial (NYSE: GNW ) , which fell 5.6%. Genworth is also dealing with woes related to selling parts of its business. The stock tanked after announcing that the company had appointed current CFO Martin Klein to oversee certain "divestitures" that are seen as too peripheral to Genworth's main business.
Energy investors would be hard-pressed to find another company trading at a deeper discount than Chesapeake Energy. Its share price depreciated after negative news surfaced concerning the company's management and spiraling debt picture. While these issues still persist, giant steps have been taken to help mitigate the problems. To learn more about Chesapeake and its enormous potential, you're invited to check out The Motley Fool's brand-new premium report on the company.

Discrimination of Temporal Gaps52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913139View Description Hide Description
This research investigates the human observer's ability to judge differences in duration without the benefit of such cues as differences in energy and energy spectrum. Three observers compared two silent durations, T and T+ΔT, in a two‐alternative forced‐choice procedure. The value of T ranged from 0.63 to 640 msec. For each T, seven values of ΔT were chosen to cover the range of the psychometric function. The duration and amplitude of noise markers bounding the temporal gaps were varied across three experimental conditions. For silent durations less than 160 msec, the results showed that discrimination depended on the parameters of the marker. For each marker condition, the function relating the Weber fraction and T was non‐monotonic, reaching a local minimum at about 2.5 msec and a local maximum at 10 msec. These results were used to evaluate current theories about the central processing of duration.
Effect of Fringe on Masking‐Level Difference When Gating from Uncorrelated to Correlated Noise52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913140View Description Hide Description
Binaural detection of a signal having 180° interaural phase difference (Sπ, 500 Hz, 125 msec) in broad‐band correlated noise having no interaural phase difference (N0, 46.1 dB/Hz) was investigated when broad‐band uncorrelated noise (NU, also 46.1 dB/Hz) temporally surrounded the 125‐msec observation interval. The N0 was switched from the NU either simultaneously with the onset of the observation interval, or 100, 300, or 500 msec before the onset of the observation interval. The N0 was switched back to NU at the end of the observation interval. Detection was also examined when the N0 was switched from NU at the start of the observation interval, but switched back to NU 100 or 300 msec following the end of the observation interval. When the temporal limits of the correlated noise coincided with the observation interval, the masking‐level difference (MLD) was less than that found when detecting in continuous correlated noise, even though the correlated noise had been switched from uncorrelated noise of the same level. Switching from uncorrelated noise to correlated noise before the observation interval, or delaying the switch back to uncorrelated noise after the observation interval tended to restore the MLD.
Fractional Distortion Pairs in the Cochlea52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913141View Description Hide Description
Experiments that were designed to investigate the properties of a peculiar type of distortion that has been observed in the cochlea at high excitation intensities are described. The pairs consist of two components with frequencies that are equally spaced about one‐half the excitation frequency and that sum to the excitation frequency. Pairs centered on odd‐harmonics of one‐half the excitation frequency were also observed. The pairs exhibit a threshold of appearance, their frequencies can drift with time, and at excitation intensities well above threshold the pairs develop into noisy bands instead of remaining as discrete frequency components. Distortion pairs with similar properties were observed in five different species of the order Rodentia. An analogy between the behavior of the pairs with increasing excitation intensity and the development of turbulence in the boundary layer over a flat plate is discussed. The turbulence arises from an instability in the flow, and it is suggested that the cochlear distortion pairs develop from a similar instability in the cochlear flow.
Aural Harmonics: The Monaural Phase Effects at 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, and 2500 Hz Observed in Tone‐on‐Tone Masking When f 1 = 1000 Hz52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913142View Description Hide Description
At least two explanations can be offered for the monaural phase effects reported in previous tone‐on‐tone masking experiments. The aural distortion approach leads to the prediction that changes in the phase angle between masker and maskee will cause sensitivity variations only at harmonic intervals. The two‐tone interaction approach suggests that phase effects should also be evident at nonintegral multiples of the masker. To test these predictions, six normal listeners traced their thresholds at 1500, 2000, and 2500 Hz in the presence of a 1000‐Hz masker at each of five intensities: 50–90 dB SPL in 10‐dB increments. Within each session, the phase was shifted in randomly ordered 60° steps through one complete period (of the maskee). When confusions due to a 500‐Hz difference tone are avoided by including a narrow‐band (270–510 Hz) masking noise, no phase effects are evident at 1500 and 2500 Hz. The thresholds for the 2000‐Hz maskee, however, show the usual phase dependencies. These findings are inconsistent with the two‐tone interaction explanation and support the interpretation that emphasizes nonlinear response of the auditory system and direct interference between the aural and acoustic harmonics. Furthermore, when estimates of the second aural harmonic are obtained, its magnitude appears to vary directly with f 1 intensity at the 2 dB/dB rate predicted from the power law description of amplitude distortion.
Influence of Direct‐Current Polarization of the Cochlear Partition on the Summating Potentials52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913143View Description Hide Description
The effects of electrically biasing the cochlear partition on the summating potentials were investigated in guinea pigs. The DIF (DIF = SV − ST) and AVE (2 AVE = SV + ST) SP responses were observed under polarization as well as the cochlear microphonics. These responses were recorded and the cochlear partition was polarized in the first and third turns; a wide range of stimulus parameters was utilized. The negative DIF and positive AVE components exhibited similar qualitative effects of electrical biasing as the (pure tone) CM, but the amount of change induced in the former responses was typically three or more times greater than that seen in the CM. While the DIF+ exhibited the opposite effects of polarization, compared to these responses, the results revealed an underlying relationship between the positive and negative DIF responses. As a rule, positive polarizationcurrents caused the DIF responses to become less positive and more negative while the opposite was true for negative currents. No systematic level‐dependent effects of electrical biasing were observed in the behavior of the negative DIF or positive AVE or in the positive DIF, given the complexities of its input‐output function (without polarization). The results pertaining to the negative AVE component provided little basis for concrete conclusions concerning the effects of polarization on this component. The findings of this investigation reflect the involvement of electromechanical nonlinearities in the generation of the summating potentials.
Enhancement of the Mechanosensivity of Hair Cells of the Lateral‐Line Organs by Environmental Potassium Ions52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913144View Description Hide Description
The cochlear hair cell has a remarkably high sensitivity to the displacement of the basilar membrane of the inner ear. However, the detailed mechanism of the receptor process, especially for the high sensitivity, has not been fully established. The present article is concerned with the enhancement of the mechanosensitivity of the receptor hair cells of the lateral‐line organ of aquatic animals by the environmental potassium ions. The potassium ion on the receptor surface of the lateral‐line organ, the free standing neuromast, modified the receptor sensitivity to vibratory mechanostimuli. Studies on the free neuromast rather than on the canal neuromast may better contribute to the understanding of the excitation mechanism of the cochlear hair cell.
Loudness Balances Employing Signals with Unequal Duty Cycles52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913145View Description Hide Description
The alternate binauralloudness balance technique was employed to investigate the effects of duty cycle (the percentage of time the sound is on) upon the perceived magnitude of 1000‐Hz pure‐tone signals. The reference signal was fixed in the right ear at 50‐dB sound‐pressure level (SPL). In the left ear, the comparison signal intensity was adjusted via a Békésy audiometer to yield equal interaural loudnesses. The loudness of interrupted signals increased as the signal duty cycle was increased. A low‐duty‐cycle comparison signal was consistently judged to be softer than an equally intense high‐duty‐cycle reference signal. Furthermore, a high‐duty‐cycle comparison signal was consistently judged louder than a low‐duty‐cycle reference signal of the same intensity. The greatest interaural loudness disparity was observed for the experimental conditions in which the interaural duty‐cycle difference (high duty cycle minus low duty cycle) was 80%. During a substantial number of trials, this relationship between duty cycle and loudness increased in magnitude throughout the 4‐min balancing period. Duty‐cycle‐loudness effects were enhanced when a 400‐msec silent interval separated alternating tones. The results of this study may be incorporated to assist in the explanation of the occurrence of the type‐V Békésy pattern in clinical audiology. In addition, they lead to questions concerning the interpretation of experiments in which interrupted signals are presented for loudness evaluation such as experiments on loudness adaptation.
Oxygen Availability in Tunnel of Corti Measured by Microelectrode52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913146View Description Hide Description
A method is presented for the insertion of microelectrodes into the scala media and fluid spaces of the organ of Corti without injury to the capillaries of the membranous labyrinth. Electrode placement is made under complete visual control and monitored on a closed‐circuit television system. Capillary blood flow and electrode position are constantly observed. With electrodes so placed, electrode current resulting from changes in oxygen concentration is measured as respiratory air to the animal is cut off and restored. Oxygen concentration in the tunnel of Corti decreases and returns to normal much more rapidly than does that of the endolymph of the scala media. These results furnish evidence that the spiral vessels of the basilar membrane (vas spirale) and spiral osseous lamina supply the oxygen to the fluids in the spaces of the organ of Corti.
Detectability of Interaural Time Differences and Interaural Level Differences as a Function of Signal Duration52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913147View Description Hide Description
Detectability was measured as a function of signal duration for a dichotic condition in which there was only an interaural difference in level and for one in which there was only an interaural difference in time. For four subjects, performance improved as duration increased, and it did so in essentially the same way for the two dichotic conditions; however, one other subject was unusual in that he showed little improvement in performance as duration was increased when the sole interaural cue was a time difference. Masker and signal: the same band of noise, 50 Hz wide centered at 500 Hz. Method: single‐interval forced choice.
Measurement of Specific Mechanical Impedance of the Skin: Effects of Static Force, Site of Stimulation, Area of Probe, and Presence of a Surround52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913148View Description Hide Description
This study attempted to investigate the mechanical response of skin‐tissue systems under conditions commonly employed in psychophysical investigations of the tactile system. The influence of these conditions on the specific mechanical impedance was determined and evidence was found suggesting that if one desires to avoid altering the mechanical characteristics, then the parameters to be controlled are the pressure exerted by the probe and the area of the probe. The presence of a surround also influenced the mechanical characteristics when the site of stimulation was the volar forearm, but not when it was the finger or the thenar eminence.
Recommended High‐Frequency Audiometric Threshold Levels (8000–18 000 Hz)52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913149View Description Hide Description
The normal range of auditory sensitivity for pure‐tone signals (8000 to 18 000 Hz) has been well bracketed in laboratory studies, generally with experienced listeners. This study reports results obtained during a field survey of high‐frequency hearing conducted with 237 subjects at the 1968 Denver ASHA Convention. These results agree quite closely with data from the laboratory studies. The purposes of this study are threefold: (1) to report high‐frequency field survey audiometric thresholds as a function of age and sex; (2) to review and compare results of all previous reports of high‐frequency hearing threshold studies, with particular attention to differences in calibration techniques; and (3) to recommend the Zislis and Fletcher [J. Aud. Res. 6, 189–198 (1966)] threshold results obtained from sixth through 12th grade girls, with smoothing and minor modifications at 16 and 18 kHz, as the best representation of the "most sensitive hearing" for frequencies from 8000 to 18 000 Hz. It is recommended that these values be used as an interim standard until such time as official standard values are promulgated.
Auditory Threshold in the Goldfish (Carassius auratus) as a Function of Signal Duration52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913150View Description Hide Description
Auditory thresholds were determined in the goldfish (Carassius auratus) for sound pulses with duty cycles from 1%–90% of 100‐ and 1000‐msec periods. Thresholds were also determined for pulses from 10 to 500 msec in duration with at least 490 msec between pulses. Results indicate that there are no differences in threshold between short pulses and continuous tones and that thresholds are the same whether there is a long or short signal off‐time between pulses. It is concluded that temporal summation does not occur in the goldfish and that enhanced sensitivity for long sounds, found in mammals, is unnecessary for fish since most fish sounds consist of short pulses. It is suggested that temporal summation most probably occurs in higher auditory centers in the brain of mammals and the lack of these centers is the reason for no temporal summation in goldfish.
Audibility Region of Combination Tones52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913151View Description Hide Description
This paper describes research on combination tones of the type . Such tones are audible during stimulation by the two frequency components f 1 and f 2, with f 1 < f 2. The results of the experiments suggest that these combination tones are audible only in a restricted frequency region below f 1. The lower limit of this "audibility region," for the combination tone , was determined primarily by the level of the lower stimulus component L 1 and additionally by L 2. The width of the audibility region appeared to be highly subject dependent. The lowest stimulus level for which was audible was 15–20 dB SL if both stimulus components had equal levels. If the lower component was set at 40 dB, then the higher one could be reduced to 4 dB before reached threshold. Higher‐order combination tones could be perceived up to k = 5 or 6. At 40 dB SL, the lower limit of the audibility region was approximately the same regardless of the order (i.e., independent of k). The width of the audibility region could not be explained completely by the amount of interaction of the mechanical stimulation patterns corresponding to f 1 and f 2. In addition, it is demonstrated that these combination tones may play a misleading part in masking experiments. The detection threshold of a simple tone masked by another simple tone may be determined by the detection of a combination tone of the type , even at a low level of the masker.
Combination Tones and Their Origin52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913152View Description Hide Description
Combination tones corresponding to , with k a small positive integer, are often audible during stimulation by the two frequency components f 1 and f 2 (f 1 < f 2). In this paper primarily the cubic difference tone (CDT) is studied. The research reported is directed at the type of nonlinearity generating the CDT, and at the site of CDT generation. The first experiment shows that the generation of the CDT is affected by a dip (a threshold elevation in a narrow frequency region). The CDT was perceived only when the level of f 2 exceeded the elevated threshold. In the second experiment the cancellation method is used. The results suggest that the high‐frequency slope of the pattern of stimulation upon which the nonlinearity operates is comparable with the slope revealed in masking experiments. In the last experiments the cancellation method is reconsidered. Estimates of the CDT level found by various other measuring methods, in which the probe tone was presented nonsimultaneously with the stimulus f 1, f 2, were all lower than the cancellation level. The results are discussed in terms of a nonlinearity intimately coupled with a frequency selectivity. A simple compressing type of nonlinearity is proposed which accounts rather well for the CDT data. The lower estimates of the CDT level found for nonsimultaneous probe tones are attributed to suppression effects. These suppression effects might be introduced by the same nonlinearity.
Detection of Tones in the Absence of External Masking Noise. I. Effects of Signal Intensity and Signal Frequency52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913153View Description Hide Description
Twelve highly trained listeners detected tonal signals in the absence of external masking noise. The signals were 150 msec long and ranged from 125 to 4000 Hz. Fitted psychometric functions were steeper at high than at low frequencies requiring between 3‐ and 8‐dB increase in signal level to raise performance from 60% to 95% correct. The signal levels that yield 76% correct detection in a two‐alternative, forced‐choice psychophysical procedure were in good agreement with the International Standards Organization's recommended values of audiometric zero. The results are consistent with a limitation imposed on auditory sensitivity by a "system noise" which is composed of the noise in the ear canal at low frequencies, and a low‐level (−11 dB SPL) component of unspecified origin at medium and high frequencies. No qualitative differences were observed between detection without external masking noise and previous data on the detection of tones masked by noise.
A Theory of Central Auditory Masking and Its Partial Validation52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913154View Description Hide Description
A quantitative psychophysiological theory of central masking is developed and partially validated by means of psychophysiological comparisons. The theory assumes constant signal‐to‐noise ratio in the physiological domain for constant signal detectability, partial linear summation of dichotic inputs, and a direct proportionality between driven neural activity and sound intensity at near‐threshold intensities. All assumptions are based on psychophysical and physiological evidence independent of central masking. The theory is shown to predict accurately single‐unit characteristics of the auditory nerve and of primary‐like populations in the cochlear nuclei and the superior olive. Validating comparisons between calculated and empirical results are made in time, frequency, and intensity domains, for steady‐state and transient stimuli.
Perception of Amplitude‐Modulated Auditory Signals by the Goldfish52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913155View Description Hide Description
The behavioral responses of goldfish to a variety of amplitude‐modulated (AM) acoustic signals were studied using a stimulus generalization paradigm in combination with a classical conditioning method. Measurements were thus allowed of the equivalence among various complex and simple signals in controlling the conditioned respiration response. The goldfish's conditioned response to AM signals were found to be controlled by carrier frequency, modulation depth, and to a lesser extent, by modulation frequency in the 40‐Hz range. On the other hand, pure‐tone frequency exerted minimal behavioral control for subjects conditioned to AM signals. Subjects conditioned to a 40‐Hz pure tone tended to generalize maximally to an AM signal having a 40‐Hz modulation rate. The results indicate the degree to which the goldfish can use much of the information present in complex periodic acoustic signals and suggest the existence of periodicity pitch in fish.
Ultrasonic Exposure Thresholds for Changes in Cells and Tissues52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913156View Description Hide Description
The first part of this paper reports an experimental investigation of some parameters that control the occurrence of biologically effective cavitation‐type phenomena in the frequency region 0.25 4 MHz. The experimental criterion by which "cavitation" is recognized here is the simultaneous occurrence of degradation of DNA in aqueous solution, liberation of free from KI solution, and generation of half‐order subharmonic. The intensity threshold for cavitation rises with frequency from 0.14 to 17.5 W cm−2 (spatial peak) in the above frequency range. Pulse duration and duty factor are also found to be determining parameters, with cavitation activity reducing to zero when values of both parameters are sufficiently low. A strong positive correlation between ambient pressure and intensity threshold has also been determined. On the basis of observations of the levels of scattered half‐order subharmonic signals from various media, no evidence could be found for cavitation activity in sonicated mammalian tissues, although such activity could be detected in a wide range of liquids. The second part of the paper consists of a review, conducted in the light of the above results, of published experimental data relating to the existence and values of exposure thresholds for possible nonthermal, noncavitational mechanisms of action of ultrasound in living cells and tissues.
Display of Three‐Dimensional Ultrasonic Data for Medical Diagnosis52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913157View Description Hide Description
In most ultrasonicdiagnostic methods so far suggested, the output is in the form of a two‐dimensional image, and a serial set of cross sections is used to give three‐dimensional information about the part examined. The paper demonstrates the practicability of forming a section at any arbitrary angle through the three‐dimensional information using a digital computer. In addition, information from two mutually perpendicular sets of planes can be consolidated into a single series of echograms, thus overcoming to some extent the loss of information due to specular reflection. While this technique does not appear to be practical for routine diagnosis with the present generation of pulse‐echo machines, it would be simply incorporated in a computer‐based device using acoustical holography, Bragg imagery, or a transducer array technique for data acquisition.
Disorganization and Disruption of Mammalian and Amoeboid Cells by Acoustic Microstreaming52(1972); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1913158View Description Hide Description
Mouse Ehrlich ascites carcinomacells and the amoeba Hartmanella castellanii were subjected to an acoustic microstreaming field generated around a partially submerged transversely oscillating wire. The various forces responsible for the intracellular "consistency" (i.e., the viscoelastic tendency to resist mechanical deformation) of ascites cells are so strong that the organelles remain attached to each other after the plasma membrane has been torn off, whereas the cell contents of the amoebae are easily dispersed once the plasma membrane is ruptured. Present evidence suggests that the high internal consistency of ascites cells prevents any form of intracellular streaming, whereas the low internal consistency of amoebae might allow artifically induced streaming within the intact cell.
