Ir. Thijs Spuesens wins poster award at IEEE photonics Benelux symposium in Delft
Thijs Spuesens has won the best poster award at the 15th annual symposium of the IEEE photonics Benelux chapter which was held in Delft on the 18th and 19th of November. The title of his poster was "Analysis of loss contributions in InP-based microdisk lasers heterogeneously integrated with SOI."
He presented his results on the simulation of both metal losses and coupling losses in ultra compact microdisk lasers. These devices are very promising candidates for integrated light sources for telecom and datacom applications and have the potential of low power consumption and high efficiency. This is a key objective in driver 2 of NB Photonics. Thijs used a 2D axi-symmetric finite element method (FEM) to study the optical losses induced by contact metals on microdisk structures. The light generated in the microdisk is coupled to a waveguide which lies underneath the microdisk. In order to optimize the coupling efficiency a 3D Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) simulation was used to find the optimum positions of the waveguide with respect to the disk as well as the tolerance to possible misalignment caused during processing.
The research was executed under supervision of prof. Dries Van Thourhout.

text: Hi, My Husband set up business as a sole trader in January 2009.He then registered for VAT in October 2009. The first 2 returns, December and March were both fine as I had done them and double checked everything. I then had a breakdown in May and the books were passed on to a family member who kindly offered to help. She told me she knew what she was doing and not to worry and at the time I didn't have the strenghth to even if I wanted. So she carried out the returns in June, September and December 2010. I then decided that I could cope with doing the admin again the start of January this year. I recieved an error letter on the December return and did think that the copy of the return they sent wasn't quite right but because my Husband had brought a van through finance I thought that had given the large amount for refund. I then contacted HMRC to find out why the refund was taking so long and they told me that we needed to be inspected to make sure the return was right. This is when it all goes wrong. I collected the accounts from the aunt last week and was shocked to see that all the invoices and receipts that had been passed to her had not been written down in the account book. Needles to say I have no idea how she got to the amount on the vat return. We have now had a major falling out over this and I am really worried about the inspection this Friday. I have updated the accounts and have seen that the 3 returns, all made by her, are all wrong. A reclaim of £4300 in September was payed by HMRC, which shouldn't have been paid at all and she came to the figure of £10300 reclaim on the December return. I just have no idea where she got these figures from! I have worked out that we need to pay £6000, that's including the £4300 from September. We just don't have this kind of money especially as I am still on a phased return to work through my illness. My question is are we going to get a large penalty and interest charge for this? Am I going to be in trouble? How long will we get to repay this debt as we can only really afford £50 per week? You may ask about where my Husband was in all this. He made it clear from the start of becoming self employed that because he didn't understand anything about book-keeping he would leave everything to me. So all he did was pass invoices and receipts to the aunt and wasn't aware that she wasn't doing it properly. Help or advice anyone?

It's been a while since we last gave you the scoop on an exciting electronics deal, but we have something really special for you today. Fry's Electronics has just slashed the prices of a trio of Sony touchscreen ultrabooks, each of these being really nice bargains at the moment.
According to Deal News, all three laptops are at their lowest prices ever by at least $90. Sounds pretty lucrative, if you ask us, but if you decide to get in on the fun you might want to hurry. The deals are time-limited and set to end on March 7 (yup, tomorrow).
Another little warning before sinking our teeth into the actual deals – the notebooks still cost a pretty penny, given that, you know, they're state-of-the-art computing machines and all.
But enough words and let's talk numbers. The Sony T1412ACXS goes for $898 and packs a 14-inch display, a 2 GHz Core I7 CPU, 6 GB of RAM, a 500 GB HDD and a 24 GB SSD. The T13137CXS is only two bucks more ($899.99), and, while it only features a 13.3-inch display and an I5 processor, it has a much more comfortable 128 GB SSD.
As for the T13128CX/S, this is truly outstanding, going for $1,148 with a 13.3-inch screen, an i7 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of solid-state storage.

What's in a name? According to Shakespeare, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. But then, a rose is different from, let's say, the name Emma. I know, I always talk about my daughter, but let's face it - kids are fun to talk about.
Not more than three weeks ago, the Social Security Administration released its annual list of most popular baby names, and to my surprise, Emma topped the list at No. 1.
Emma was the first name I looked at in a baby book, and it's the only one that stuck with me. Emma is elegant, feminine and the name of a classic novel by Jane Austen. Might I add, it's also the name of Ross and Rachel's child. Perhaps that is why it has soared to the top of the charts.
I should be happy, I should be proud and gloating to all of my friends right now! (Well, I sort of did the third one.)
My initial reaction? Great, now Emma will have 10 girl friends with the same name when she is in elementary school, middle school, high school - what have you. When I was in elementary school, I had three friends that were named Lindsey. Not all were spelled the same, however.
There was Lindsey B., Lindsey H. and Lynsey P. - all in my class. Three of the same name, yet very different personalities. I have this same image replaying over and over in my mind as to how Emma will introduce her grade school friends when she brings them home.
"Hi Mom! This is Emma R., Emma T., Emma P. and Emma M.," she'll say to me.
Oh, please let her have a friend named Emma M., so I can merely reply, "You mean like the candy?" Emma H., my daughter, will either be completely embarrassed or play it absolutely cool. Of course, school is a long way off, and when she does start, who knows if she will make any friends with girls who have the same name. This preposterous thought - along with many others - is, of course, all in my giant imagination.
I'm not sure if all parents do this - but I like to try to imagine what Emma will be like as a toddler, as a young child and even as a teenager. It's a fun and scary process, because for me I'm aging along right with her.
So just to clarify, I did not name my daughter after Jane Austen's novel, nor did I name her after the Friends child. I named her Emma because I thought the name itself was, well, old fashioned and unlike any other.
To my surprise, it is now the No. 1 female name in the United States. The last No. 1 female name in the United States was Emily, which reigned for a solid 12 years. Just as often as I wonder about the future, I often wonder how long the name Emma will reign as No. 1.
So what's in a name exactly? A meaning. And by the significance of Emma's rise to No. 1, it is true to say that "a rose by any other would smell as sweet," but all I smell is sweet victory.

MOLLE MOLLE, BOLIVIA -- Our mission is winding down -- and so are we! As of the close of clinic today, we have taken care of 813 patients, including 210 today. We could take care of another 200 tomorrow.
It´s easy to see 813 as a big number. It´s more important to think of 813 men, women and children who have needs just like the rest of us. As triage nurse, I see every person that comes to clinic for a quick evaluation. I get basic information and check blood pressures and weight. Sometimes, I find cardiac irregularities, sometimes I learn odd but important facts to pass on to the doctors.
Although I don´t speak much Spanish, I do understand it fairly well.
One woman walked to clinic, arriving at 5:30 a.m.! She stood at the church door waiting for us so she would be seen. One man, 94, was so thrilled when I gave him a new white T-shirt he acted as if he had just won the lottery.
The jump ropes are going over great. I only have five left for tomorrow of the original 59 Anya Fox gave me to bring. We are going through toothbrushes and toothpaste like crazy and our glasses inventory took a nosedive too.
Clinics are chaotic, with dozens of people talking loudly, several dogs wondering among us at will and children darting every which way. Bolivian children are incredibly cute! The dogs are something else -- I have never seen any country anywhere with so many stray dogs everywhere.
My friend, Glenda, and I skipped lunch -- we can only take so much carb-heavy Bolivian food -- and instead took a walk. We stopped at a little roadside stand we dubbed our Bolivian bistro and bought four bananas which we consumed with gusto with the gorgeous Andres Mountains as a backdrop. We have such a good time together on these trips!
We left clinic at 6 p.m. and came back to the church/pastor´s home. Glenda and I didn´t go out with the team for dinner. We both needed some peace and quiet.
Instead, we had some pizza with the pastor´s wife and daughter, then I did my writing and we got our showers. I am hosting a team tea party in an hour -- I host one every night -- but should get to bed at a decent hour for a change.
Hope all of you are well. I miss you but will be home in a few more days.

Do you get holiday jammies for the kids/family?
Cute Warning! Holiday Pajamas You Can't Resist
Make it one of your holiday traditions, if you don't already – holiday PJs for the kids and for the adults too! You don't necessarily have to go all matchy-matchy on us (although, if that's your thing, we hear they also make Christmas pajamas for dogs!), but putting everyone in cutesy or cool jammies will, at the least, make sure they aren't wearing the rattiest pair in their drawer (you know, the ones that are now cropped pants, instead of full-length?), which will bode well for when you attack Instagram and Facebook with pictures of your family opening gifts on Christmas morning! Here are some of our favorites this year – for the girls, for the boys and for your entire family… yes, even the dog.
What are your holiday PJ traditions? Do you open them on Christmas Eve? Does the entire family get matching PJs, or do you buy for individual preferences? We'd love to hear in the comments section below!
Just because you're buying her holiday pajamas, doesn't mean you have to ditch her "I wear pink and only pink" wardrobe mentality. These Penguin Graphic PJ Sets ($15) and Monkey-Snowman PJ Sets ($15), two adorably pink and perfectly holiday-themed options from Old Navy will satisfy both requirements easily. (Psst! The Monkey-Snowman PJs are also available in blue for boys!)
Naturally, Crewcuts has taken holiday pajamas to the land of chic, with this Long-Sleeve Sleep Set in Snowflake ($53). They are available in both bright plum and navy and are the perfect solution for your girls who are too old for cutesy pajamas, but who aren't quite ready to let go of this fun family tradition yet.
What if Santa's sled was broken? How would he deliver all of the presents to the good boys and girls around the world? By skateboard, naturally! Your little dude will do an ollie (that's a skateboard trick, by the way…) for these Santa Skateboard PJ Sets ($15) from Old Navy. Although, now he's also going to want a skateboard for Christmas… so, good luck with that.
And, the next best thing, after Santa on a skateboard, of course, would certainly be dinosaurs wearing Santa hats! Duh! The Dinosaur Print Fleece PJ Sets ($30) from GAP will end any getting ready for bedtime struggles that you've been working through lately. How does a T-Rex get his Santa hat on, anyway? Those tiny little arms can't help!
Don't be ashamed to admit it – it's going to drive you crazy to have your girls in one style of pajamas on Christmas morning and your boys in another. We know you're out there, picky moms, and there's no need to hide behind your laptop screen any longer. Thanks to these cute unisex Little Citizen Pajamas ($39) from Tea Collection, all of your kiddos can sport the same outfits when tearing through their gifts, and even better, these go from size six-months to size 12-years, so even your big and little kids can match!
The only thing that's cuter than a kid in holiday PJs is a baby in holiday PJs for their first Christmas! You're tilting your head to the side and saying "ahhh" just thinking about it, aren't you? Grab some of these while you're grabbing other gifts at Target this holiday season – the JUST ONE YOU Made by Carters Reindeer Fleece Sleep N' Play Pajamas ($9, online price) are perfect for little boys or little girls who are celebrating for the first time this year.
Going personalized is a great option for their first Christmas, so that after they grow out of those PJs, you can tuck them away to save them… you know, to pull out when they bring home that first really special boyfriend or girlfriend? Etsy seller Nicole Troccoli of Sweet Stuff for Kids, makes adorable and completely customizable Personalized Holiday Pajamas ($26) for little ones that you will cherish (and use for embarrassment!) for years to come.
Hanna Andersson is known for their matching family pajamas and every time that holiday catalog arrives in your mailbox, which is often in August, by the way, it's always a good time to sit down, flip through the glossy pages, and imagine everyone from Dad to Baby dressed in matching Hannas on Christmas morning. If you are matching pajama virgins, start easy with the classic Organic Cotton Long John Pajamas in Stripes.
But, for experienced families, we insist you bump up your game this year with the Organic Cotton St. Nick & Elf Long John Pajamas, which are available in sizes for every family member.
Oh, and we weren't kidding about including the dog – find their Very Merry Dog Johns ($28) online as well.

Waitress Receives Massive Tip After Returning Lost Money to Wrong Guy
The giving spirit is strong this time of year.
The giving spirit is strong this time of year.
The cost of Christmas is going up.
Christmas traditions around the world can be quite different from what we're used to at home.
This time of year, food banks are working extra hard to keep their shelves stocked. If you're in a charitable mood, you might be wondering what exactly these charities are looking for in the way of donations. A recent thread on Reddit explored just that. Numerous commenters with experience either working at or patronizing food banks offered their thoughts on the best items to donate—and it's not just food, either.
The following video of an Elf on the Shelf may shock you. Grab the kids and watch closely. If you own an Elf, be vigilant about where he/she/it is at all times.
Once the holidays roll around, you can expect to see an influx of updates from loved ones in your mailbox. This year, instead of taking the traditional approach (and kill a bunch of trees in the process), one family decided to take advantage of a little thing called the Internet and shoot a video recap of its 2013.
Santa Claus. Polar bears. One of America's most-iconic brands has tied a lot of it's advertising budget to the Christmas season in past. However, this year - Coca Cola is noticeably absent. The reason for the shift is a charitable one.
It's unfortunate, but the holiday season often brings a significant spike in home fires. The American Red Cross urges people to take extra precautions with cooking and decorating at this time of year to help prevent fires.
The Elf on the Shelf—whether you find him cute, annoying or somewhere in between, he's everywhere these days, making the holiday season even more complicated for parents. We did a little investigating on this elusive creature that has become a phenomenon, and discovered a few things we didn't expect.
This morning Duluth's John Shuster Rink from Duluth, MN upset the top team Korea to move into a tie for first with 4 teams, with one more match to go against Finland around noon cst. The Shuster Rink is trying to qualify for the Olympics by becoming one of the top 2 teams.
Santa Claus, who without a doubt really does exist, doesn't have time to make a personal appearance in every Hollywood movie about Christmas ever made. Instead, he relies on a number of talented actors to portray him on the silver screen.
There are many shows that follow different stories about how Elvis faked his death. I worked in Nashville at a Tower records and someone dropped off a bag of tapes and asked us to sell them, and keep the money, that this was proof Elvis was alive, and the tapes really sounded like him, but this really does.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles head coach Chip Kelly didn't have updates on the three players injured in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He did have praise for the players who replaced them.
Left tackle Jason Peters (quad), linebacker Mychal Kendricks (knee) and safety Earl Wolff (knee) joined cornerback Bradley Fletcher (pectoral) and quarterback Mike Vick (hamstring) on the team's injury report.
"I haven't met with (Chris) Peduzzi and his guys yet," Kelly said of the Eagles' trainer. "So I have no update. We'll know more (Tuesday)."
Veteran Allen Barbre replaced Peters. Najee Good replaced Kendricks, and Patrick Chung, who was rotating with Nate Allen and Wolff, replaced Wolff. Roc Carmichael started in place of Fletcher.
"It's a credit to those guys," Kelly said of the backups coming in and playing well. "Najee and Roc weren't here with us. They weren't here in the offseason, weren't here in camp. We didn't get either one of them until September. To see those guys get put in the situation they did and to respond, I thought Roc did an outstanding job. Najee played really, really well.
"I think it speaks to the depth. Obviously we were tested. But I thought Allen played really, really well when he was in there. To have all those guys step up and contribute is what this league is all about, because everybody is facing injuries at this point of the season. Hopefully, we'll be getting those guys back soon and it will just add to the team."
Kelly did say all three players who were injured Sunday said on the flight home that they felt OK.
But again, there is no update.
"They always say that," Kelly said. "When Pat (Chung) got hurt, we thought it was a one-week thing. When Mike (Vick) got hurt, we thought it was a short deal."
• Kelly did say Vick would not be full at practice Tuesday, and then joked about Nick Foles still being the starter.
"I think what we've done for the last two weeks has worked for us pretty good, so we're going to stick with that formula. It's got us 16 touchdowns and no interceptions and two wins, so why we would change?" Kelly said with a smile.
• Wide receiver Riley Cooper had eight catches after five games. He has six touchdowns and three 100-yard games in his last five games.
Kelly said he's the same player.
"I don't think he struggled his first five games getting open. He didn't have the ball thrown to him," Kelly said. "I don't think he was struggling. When you watch the tape, he was open. I think now we have more time to throw, we're getting better protection. I think the guy calling the plays is calling better plays."
• Kelly once again praised his defensive line, saying Cedric Thornton played another strong game, that rookie Bennie Logan played his best game of the season, and that pass rusher Vinny Curry, who recorded his fourth sack of the season, is getting better against the run.
"In the run game itself, I think Vinny is starting to get better and better," Kelly said. "It was his best game against the run."
• Kelly on Foles' running ability: "He may not be fleet of foot, but he's fleet of mind. He's a really, really good decision-maker."
• The coach said wind was a huge factor in Alex Henery's 39-yard field goal attempt that went wide right.
"When you watch it on tape, he hit it right down the middle," Kelly said. "I talked to Alex about it. He thought he had it. (Holder) Donnie Jones thought he had it. Then it got pushed with the wind. Their kicker had the exact same situation. Blew it the same way. (He) probably has to make a little bit more adjustment for the wind."

You may have a hearing loss if:
If you often have any of these symptoms, you should have a hearing evaluation.
A good place to begin with is an audiologist. An audiologist is a hearing care professional who specializes in preventing, identifying and assessing hearing problems and the need for non-medical rehabilitation. This professional typically has a Doctor of Audiology (Aud) degree and a certificate of clinical competence from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. In most states, an audiologist must have a license to practice.
An audiologist can:
Audiologists at Gundersen provide comprehensive diagnostic audiologic (hearing) services for infants, children and adults. We use "sound proof" audiometric booths, the latest hearing test techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to get the most accurate hearing test possible.
A quality hearing exam is critical for the best treatment and outcome. The hearing test determines the type of hearing loss, configuration and degree of hearing loss and often influences what type of treatment is needed.
The audiologist will measure your hearing at different "pitches" and evaluate your understanding of speech. After testing both ears, the audiologist will determine and explain the type and degree of your hearing loss.
If you show a pattern of hearing loss that may be correctable by medical or surgical means, the audiologist will refer you to a physician who specializes in diseases of the ear (call an otolaryngologist or ENT doctor, meaning a specialist in the ears, nose and throat). Your audiologist also may suggest you contact your primary care doctor (family medicine practitioner, internal medicine specialist or, for a child, pediatrician).
About 5 to 10 percent of adult hearing problems may be medically or surgically treatable. The percentages are much higher in children.
If your problem cannot be corrected medically or surgically, more testing may be done to determine the best type and model of hearing instrument for you. If you have a hearing loss in both ears, the audiologist can tell you if you should use one or two instruments. Once the testing is finished, the audiologist will discuss various options available to improve your hearing.
Federal guidelines prohibit fitting any hearing instruments unless the buyer has first received a medical evaluation from a licensed physician. However, if you are at least 18 years old, you can sign a form that says you are fully aware of your rights, but choose not to have a medical evaluation. You can then buy hearing instruments without seeing a physician. However, we do NOT encourage adults to waive this medical examination. For those younger than 18 years of age, waiver of the medical evaluation is not permitted.
Some hearing instruments work better than others with the phone. Certain styles of hearing instruments (especially those that are very strong) may result in feedback or whistling when placed close to the phone. Because of this, your audiologist may recommend a special "telephone circuit" be incorporated into the amplifier of the aid. This circuit allows the aid to be used with the phone without feedback or without hearing other room noises. A telephone circuit also may allow the instrument to be used with special sound systems (often called a Loop system) that are currently in many theaters, churches and auditoriums. Some individuals may require the use of an amplifier on the telephone, as well as a telephone circuit on the hearing instrument in order to communicate effectively. Some cell phones may not work well with hearing aids, but new technology enables better connection with cell phones. Cell phone manufacturers are now required by law to make several models that are hearing aid compatible. When buying a new cell phone, be sure to ask which models are hearing aid compatible.
New technology is now available in most hearing aids which provides connection between hearing aids and Bluetooth-enabled cell phones and other devices (i.e. computers, televisions, personal music players, etc). Not only does this enable hands-free cell phone conversations, it also routes the desired signal to both hearing aid simultaneously so wearers can listen using both ears for optimum hearing. Be sure to ask your audiologist about this new technology.
Hearing instruments do not restore normal hearing. It may take several months to adjust to your hearing devices. With hearing instruments, you will hear some sounds you have never heard before or haven't heard for a long time. Your own voice may sound louder. Sometimes speech sounds will sound different than the way you think they should. You will need to learn how to "tune out" or tolerate background noise.
Hearing instruments should help you hear better, but listening in noisy environments may still be difficult. The recent advances in technology, along with appropriate follow-up care, are allowing better hearing in difficult listening situations, but loud background noise will pose challenges. Remember, even people with normal hearing experience greater difficulty listening in the presence of background noise.
All hearing instruments work similarly and have similar parts. These include:
Some hearing instruments also have ear molds (ear pieces) to control the flow of sound into the ear and help hold the hearing instruments in place.
Hearing instruments also differ in design, amount of power, ease of handling and availability of special features. Your audiologist will advise you on what best meets your needs.
Behind-the-ear (BTE) instruments
BTE instruments: Includes electronic that sit behind the ear, along with a molding that is in the ear. The two pieces are connected by a small tube, or small tubing with a very thin wire in it. There are many sizes of BTEs, depending on the degree of hearing loss and other listening needs. An Audiologist will help determine which size and style is most appropriate for the person's needs.
Completely-in-canal (CIC) instruments
CIC instruments are the smallest hearing instruments available and fit entirely in the ear canal. These instruments may not be suitable for those with severe loss or problems with dexterity.
Canal instruments
Canal instruments are larger than CICs. They are contained in a small case that fits into the canal. They may not be suitable for those where retention or feedback is a problem.
In-the-ear (ITE) instruments
All parts, which are a bit larger, are contained in the outer part of the ear. This style is usually suitable for virtually all degrees of hearing loss.
Other types of instruments are available for people who only have hearing in one ear. These are known as CROS or Bi-CROS hearing aids. The individual wears devices on both ears, but the device on the poorer ear transmits sound to the better hearing ear.
Another hearing instrument is the Baha (bone anchored hearing assisted device). A Baha is a surgically implanted device designed to assist people with usable hearing in only one ear and/or for those unable to wear conventional hearing instruments. They, too, represent a small portion of hearing instruments available. If you have any questions or your audiologist thinks they may help you, they can be discussed in detail.
Almost all hearing instruments fitted today are digital. They differ from conventional analog hearing instruments in that they process sound in a digital, rather than analog, manner. That means that the sound entering the hearing aid is converted into a digital code and processed accordingly. This allows the hearing instrument to process the signal in ways that were previously no possible with conventional analog instruments. Again, this give the audiologist great flexibility in adjusting the hearing instrument for the individual's particular needs.
Digital technology allows the hearing instruments to have such features as automatic directional microphones, multiple memories, feedback suppression and noise reduction programming, all of which may make the hearing instrument more comfortable to use in the presence of background noise and other acoustic situations.
The decision about which style and level of technology of hearing instruments will be best suited for your particular type of hearing loss can be made after a thorough discussion with your audiologist.
Hearing instruments vary in price, depending on style, electronic features and local market conditions. Most quality hearing instruments cost between $1,300 and $2,800 each.
Price should not be the only consideration in buying amplification. Among other questions to ask when buying are:
Gundersen offers the latest, most up to date, hearing aid technology. We have provided hearing aid related services to the Tri-state Region for over 35 years. Our audiologists are licensed by the state of Wisconsin and are all certified with the American Speech Language and Hearing Association. We offer a variety of styles of hearing aids including: Behind the Ear (BTE), In-the-Ear (ITE), and Completely-In-Canal (CIC) hearing aids. We work with a variety of hearing aid manufacturers and can choose the best style, model and manufacturer of hearing aid for each individual.
Our audiologist will provide you with a thorough hearing evaluation. If you need hearing aids you can buy them from any dispensary but many people prefer using the same hearing professional for all services. At Gundersen Audiology we offer a wide selection of hearing instruments, at many price points, including the latest in digital technology. Our products are custom fit and offer features such as frequency compression (better speech clarity), feedback (squeal) control, background noise control, and smaller, discreet styling. To learn more, talk with your audiologist.
Some healthcare plans will cover the cost of the hearing test, hearing instrument evaluation and even the hearing instruments. Check with your health insurance company or your benefits officer to find out exactly what your policy covers.
Medicare does not cover the cost of hearing instruments, but in most cases will cover the cost of testing as long as the patient is examined by a medical doctor.
Most people with significant hearing loss in both ears do better with two hearing instruments. However, wearing two hearing instruments may not be the best solution for everyone. Your audiologist can help you decide whether you need one or two.
Two-eared, or binaural, hearing generally results in better sound localization and clarity of speech both in quiet and in noise.
The biggest concern of hearing instrument users, especially new ones, is hearing conversational in the presence of background noise. No hearing instrument can completely eliminate the background noise problem. This is because the ability to separate conversations relates more to the nature of hearing loss than to the nature of how the hearing instrument works.
Some instruments contain software that attempts to selectively amplify the speech, but not noise. Research to date has shown that while this feature probably makes listening in certain noisy situations more comfortable, it may not improve the ability the consistently understand speech.
Directional microphones are another way hearing instruments may make it easier to hear in noisy environments. The hearing instrument is constructed with two microphones: one amplifies sounds coming from the front of the wearer and the other amplifies sounds from behind the wearer. The hearing instrument can control which microphone is used so that sounds from the front are amplified to a greater degree than those from the back. Depending on the direction and type of noise, directional microphones can significantly improve the ability to understand speech in the presence of competing sounds.
Your audiologist will make sure your hearing instruments are appropriate and adjust them specifically for your needs. Realizing that even with hearing instruments you may have trouble with background noise in certain situations should make it easier to adjust to them.
Bluetooth: The majority of new hearing instruments are now available with Bluetooth technology. This technology uses radio frequencies to allow devices to communicate without cables or wiring. Bluetooth essentially create a tiny wireless network between multiple devices and allows sound from these devices (e.g. cell phone, music players, television, computers, etc.) to travel directly to the hearing instruments.
Loop System: A Hearing Loop uses Induction Loop Technology to transmit sounds directly to a hearing aid's built-in wireless T-coil receiver. An Induction Loop consists of a loop of wire around the perimeter of an area, and the input to the induction loop can be any sound source that users inside the looped area wish to hear more clearly. This may include sound sources such as a television or stereo, a public address or sound reinforcement system, a dedicated microphone, etc.
Most states (including Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa) have laws that require a trial period for hearing instrument sales. Gundersen provides a 45-day trial period.
If you decide to cancel your purchase during the trial period, there may be a non-refundable fitting charge. You should be given a written contract explaining your rights, costs and terms of agreement. You should discuss these policies with your audiologist.
Hearing loss doesn't have to mean missing out on life. A properly fitted hearing instrument with appropriate instruction on how to use the device can help millions of people. The following step-by-step approach will help you find out if a hearing instrument will help you.
When purchasing the recommended hearing instruments, make sure you:

text: I am a white male, and a hardcore conservative in many ways. I love police officers and others who participate in the day to day tasks of law enforcement as careers. They have the most difficult jobs you can find anywhere. They can be called to someone's home to help an elderly person and be met by a mad man with a gun looking for a fight. They never know if they will have a day of monotony or hours of gunfighting or civil protest. They have even had days that I have needed help and they showed up quickly and completely resolved whatever I had to deal with. I love them.

Father's Day brings up images of breakfast in bed, homemade cards and crafts, and possibly a little indulgence on dad's part.
This year consider going "green" with a gift that reflects the lifestyle of the special men on your list.
Does he love gadgets?
Does dad believe coffee should be fed intravenously?
Is dad thrifty and like to re-use items no matter how big or small?
You're in luck! Pick and choose from the top ten list below to get dad that special gift that also makes a statement.
Green Gifts for Dad
1. Green Gadget Charger
Here's a charger that runs on solar or hand-crank power. Since it doesn't have to be plugged into the grid dad can bring his gadgets...and himself anywhere. Look out!
2. For the Coffee-Loving Dad
Treat him with a "caffeine-emergency" basket. Toss in some organic coffee beans, a re-useable mug, or a ceramic travel mug. Sometimes you can find a "coffee of the month" club which makes the gift keep on giving!
3. Bamboo Anything
Bamboo is the latest trend. You can give dad bamboo knives or a grilling set. Even clothing is made from bamboo these days! Pretty much anything made from bamboo is strong and sustainable.
4. Recycle, Upcycle and Re-use!
Look around your home and find the perfect supplies to create a gift that says, "I cared enough" to make this for you! If the dad in your life loves to create masterpieces from stuff around the house, he'll definitely appreciate this effort!
5. Gift of Your Time
Whether the family takes a hike in nature, picnics at a local park or cooks out under the trees in your own backyard, dad will love the gesture of spending special time together. Get creative and make a handmade coupon to make it official.
6. Energy Saving Socket
Some guy's eyes light up at man toys; others practically swoon over gadgets. If that describes your man, get him a socket set on a timer that it automatically shuts off appliances and electronics. Ramp that gift up with an outlet able to measure power usage and communicate with software on your home computer and shut off unused electronics.
7. Create a Personal Screen Saver or Tablet Cover
Gifts from the heart always top the list. Head right on over to your drawing program. Combine drawings, pictures and text for a one-of-a-kind dad's day screen saver. Another options is to sew up/knit up/glue up a custom-made phone or tablet cover. You can guarantee that will be unique!
8. Repurposed Wallet
If you don't want to move away from "ties and wallets" this year, go ahead and gift him one, with a caveat...it's made of recycled materials. Lots of companies are creating all kinds of items made from recycled rubber, paper, leather and other materials.
9. The Ultimate Man Toy
The hybrid, robotic lawn mower...could any gift do more. A wire outlines the area due for a trim. The hybrid engine utilizes solar power. And it has buttons!
10. Hammock
Encourage recycling by picking out a hammock made from recycled pop bottles. Heading for the lake? How about a boat that floats because you stuffed all those two-liter bottles into its little pockets? Awesome and eco-friendly!
Happy Father's Day to every amazing dad out there! What's your favorite "green" item?

Wow, that's impressive. You, the number 3 team in the country; had to ADD TIME TO THE CLOCK to beat us, the number 21 team only to go and lose to Alabama. Now the longhorns are a great team, but you have to admit that Nebraska should have won that game.

That's true, The problem isn't that the call was wrong, it just didn't seem right that they decided to review that. I bet you that almost everybody in that stadium believed that game to be over and it rightfully should have been. And yeah, that was unfortunate that McCoy got hurt. I think gilbert did well given the circumstances.

South Carolina legislators want their own investigators to find out what happened to millions of state and federal dollars used for South Carolina State University's James E. Clyburn University Transportation Center.
Previous stories
Ouster still a mystery, published 06/17/10Transit center will be audited, published 06/30/10Cooper could be rehired at S.C. State, published 07/01/10
The call by eight members of the General Assembly for the investigation from the state Legislative Audit Council came Thursday, the same day the university's Board of Trustees voted to rehire President George Cooper, whom it fired June 15.
State Sen. Robert Ford, D-Charleston, said he has gathered signatures from six legislators, including his own, and has commitments from two others. The audit council, which functions as the Legislature's investigative body, requires the signatures of at least five legislators before it will move forward with a performance audit of a state agency or program.
Ford said he called for the audit council investigation in response to a June 14 Post and Courier investigation, which found that 12 years after the program was launched, the site sits vacant, no transportation research is under way and the center lost its federal designation.
More than $50 million has flowed to the transportation center since 1998, about half for transportation programs and half for the first phase of a new transportation complex to be named in honor of Clyburn, the U.S. House majority whip and a graduate of S.C. State, South Carolina's only public historically black university.
While the university has on hand most of the $26.3 million for the first phase of the new building, school finance officials have been unable to account for millions of federal dollars for transportation-related programs.
Ford said the bipartisan group of legislators who have called for the audit report did so because they "want South Carolina State University to be the flagship African-American university in the country."
The university's board voted at a retreat this week to conduct an external audit on the transportation center.
The terms of two members of that board expired Wednesday, and two new members joined the board Thursday.
The newly configured board voted 8-5 Thursday to rehire Cooper, even though he scored a 2.56 on a scale of 1 to 5, or roughly the equivalent of a D+, on his performance evaluation.
Ford said the legislators who joined him in calling for the investigation from the Legislative Audit Council were concerned that if Cooper and the new board had control of the audit process, they wouldn't do a thorough review.
He added that he would have called for the state investigation even if Cooper hadn't been rehired.
Sen. Chip Campsen, R-Isle of Palms, who signed the request for the state audit, said, "I'm not sure the audit the university is going to do isn't the fox guarding the henhouse."
State Reps. Chip Limehouse, R-Charleston; Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston; Anne Peterson Hutto, D-Charleston; and Mike Sottile, R-Isle of Palms, also have signed the state audit request, Ford said.
Senate President Pro Tem Glenn McConnell, R-Charleston, and Rep. Leon Stavrinakis, D-Charleston, also have committed to signing the document, Ford said.
"If ever there was a situation in higher education that required legislative inquiry, this is it and then some," said Limehouse, who drafts the first version of the higher education budget for the state Legislature.
Gilliard said he's bothered that Cooper "brushed off" concerns about where millions of dollars for transportation programs went, instead saying he would simply focus on the future. "It falls on our shoulders as legislators to make someone accountable," Gilliard said.
While Ford and the other legislators are concerned about Cooper's leadership, his supporters showed up at a university board meeting on the Orangeburg campus to cheer him on and give him a standing ovation.
"It's a great day for me," Cooper said after being rehired. He also said he will work to improve the S.C. State experience for students, raise money for the university and open lines of communication that will improve work between the board and the administration.
Board members also voted 8-5 Thursday to expunge Cooper's firing from the board's minutes, and to rescind the election of Merl Code, a Greenville lawyer and municipal judge, as interim president.
The majority of the board also voted to rescind a previous election of board officers who would have stepped into their new roles in September.
Walt Tobin, who would have become board chairman, and Martha Scott Smith, who would have become the board's vice chairman, both voted against rehiring Cooper. Jonathan Pinson was then re-elected chairman and John Corbitt was elected vice chairman. Both of them had voted to rehire Cooper.
Robert Nance, a trustee and the district director of Clyburn's South Carolina staff, will remain the board's secretary.
In Nance's individual evaluation of Cooper, he gave Cooper a score of "1" or "2" on a 1-to-5 scale on 12 of 15 aspects of performance. And in one of the comments he added to the form he stated that Cooper "is not presidential and does not represent the university well in public."
Despite the poor evaluation, Nance said he voted to rehire Cooper because doing so would bring stability to the university, and that is what the school most needs right now.

These are a great alternative to my normal arch supports! I have plantar fasciitis and I wear these with open toed shoes. However, don"t get them wet because the magnets start to rust and the arch support will fall of the band. They need to be replaced every few months because they do get smelly fast depending on how often you wear them. Overall though, their great!
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Amazing. They make my arches and feet feel great. My feet don't cramp or feel sore after class or rehearsal anymore. Get them!


text: 07/22/12: The Hill reports the rhetoric on pending cuts to the Pentagon intensified this week, but the chances of a pre-election deal to avert those spending reductions and others appear unlikely. Both parties are digging into their positions on the across-the-board cuts ahead of the November election, as the cuts are poised to play an increasingly visible role in congressional and the presidential campaigns. But all the messaging and campaigning on sequestration is quickly evaporating what little chance may have existed for a deal to avert some of the cuts before the election, something defense-minded lawmakers in both parties have called on Congress to do.

I'm UK based too, but in the north.
Your training programme sounds great - kinda like crossfit in the outdoors! Well done on a stone lost in weight too!
I'm actually finding paleo is cheaper for me, so long as I meal plan - if I don't take the time to be prepared that's when I end up on a mad dash round the shop and buying expensive stuff. I am planning on adding rice back in though, mainly to fuel workouts as I keep crashing and I suspect it's lack of carbs, but also rice is a fairly benign grain - I ate the stuff every day when living in Asia and it has never irritated my stomach like other grains do, so it would be better for me than, say, going back to dairy, which is expensive and irritates my stomach. I also eat potatoes which are fairly cheap. Food prices are totally going up though - ugh.

The kinds that have mushrooms, green beans, water chestnuts etc. Stir frying those with a little butter is always an easy side. Frozen veggies are your friend. They don't spoil like fresh veggies do and there is a decent variety.

Far East Quote
One kind of reference to the

Musashi[...]commands the student of swordplay to always remember that his goal is to kill his enemy. He is not learning to parry, thrust, spin, whatever. He is not practicing a high block or a low feint. He is trying to kill his enemy. All the individual practices are means to that end.
All right. If we searched would we be unable to find:
an oriental fencing manual that emphasized technique as an end in itself
a European fencing manual that emphasized this goal over technique
...unless, of course, your goal is merely to delay your enemy so that someone else can accomplish their goal (grab the loot, say), or to wear your enemy down to the point where you can run away without getting stabbed yourself.
's go, this one doesn't seem very "far east"... --
You mean it doesn't seem very "zen". Which you identify with "far east". Perhaps there are other far eastern thoughts than just zen?
Whomever put it on

It probably carries more "easterliness" in its original form (even in translation) rather than in my poor half-remembered representation. <g> On one level, I suppose it qualifies simply by the fact of having a Japanese author.

"Have you eaten?" "Yes" "Then wash your bowl." The student was enlightend.
Isn't it true that "Have you eaten?" is sometimes used as a greeting, as a more specific version of "How are you?" I do know the Japanese use "Where are you going?" in this manner.
Yes, in Taiwanese, "have you eaten" - "chhia pa boe" is a common greeting.
I have read the book series called "Musashi" and his personal writings, called the

He is also about as practical as it is possible to get, which is appropriate, since he survived any number of individual and group attacks in his life. He is definitely not Zen. When it comes to delivering software, I'm on Musashi's side of the fence. XP is, also. --
All martial artists and software people should read the

I disagree that Musashi is 'not Zen'. Just kill, just sit, no difference.
Whoa. Are you saying that there is no difference between just sitting and murdering a human being?
Some Zen swordmasters preached that the goal is not to win the battle, but not lose it. If you're to eager to win, you'll get careless and lose. If you do all that is in your hands not to lose, you'll surely win.
I see XP philosophy to be analogous to this: Don't try to ship the Best Software you can make(win), but ship software that is not bad (lose)
By bad I mean buggy software, "that's not what I wanted" software, "we don't need that anymore" software and "I paid for THAT!?" software.

OK, the world is round. But unless the point in question is antipodal to your location, it will be closer east or west. If I were in L.A., Las Vegas would be east, but if I were in Washington...

NEW YORK - Maurice Clarett is ready to enter the NFL draft, clearing another legal obstacle Wednesday when a federal judge rejected the league's request to suspend her ruling.
U.S. District Judge Shira Scheindlin concluded the Ohio State running back could face "very detrimental" harm if excluded from the draft. She said the NFL would not be irreparably harmed if Clarett and other underclassmen are eligible.
"Maurice Clarett's going to be in the draft," the player's lawyer, Alan Milstein, said after the decision.
NFL lawyer Gregg Levy said the league will ask the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stay Scheindlin's ruling while it appeals.
Scheindlin ruled last week that an NFL rule barring eligibility to Clarett and other young players from April's draft violates antitrust law.

Walker advocates movement away from Common Core
MILWAUKEE (AP) _ Gov. Scott Walker says he would like to form a commission to review academic standards in Wisconsin.
Walker spoke Friday in Milwaukee to members of Wisconsin school boards.
He says he wants high standards for schools but believes people in Wisconsin should have input on those standards.
Wisconsin currently adheres to Common Core academic standards for math and reading. The standards in place in 45 states were adopted here in 2010.
Walker says he will propose forming a commission with members appointed by him, state schools Superintendent Tony Evers and the legislature. The commission would review the Common Core standards and make suggestions for changes to Evers' office, which would devise new rules to guide schools.

I got so excited a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon this Halloween recipe that I decided to make a whole menu around it. We don't have kids yet and I'm not sure if we'll even have any trick-or-treaters this year so a festive menu is my way of celebrating. Eating Santa Fe Soup has been our tradition for the past few years but after making a huge helping of it for our housewarming party and eating leftovers, I'm a little Santa Fe Soup-ed out. This Halloween menu would be fun to make with kids, entertain friends or family, or to eat with your honey before snuggling up to watch a few scary movies. Do you have any favorite Halloween meals or traditions? I would love to hear them!
Happy Halloween everyone!

Homemade horse feeders
ArticleHow to -FeedingThursday 25 March 2010
How To Make a Horse Feeder
Horses need access to horse feed, specifically hay and grass, 24 hours a day as they are natural grazers. There isn't so much grass available in the winter so hay should be used instead. It needs to kept off the ground to minimise waste and to stop the hay getting dirty, this is where a horse feeder comes in. Horse feeders can be bought, but they are also very easy to make yourself and save money. This guide outlines how to make your own horse feeder.
Make a horse feeder
There are several basic types of horse feeder: ground, wall mounted, hanging or round bales.
Ground & wall hanging horse feeders
To make a ground horse feeder, you will need a 1 large sheet of 1inch plywood. Cut out three 40"x18" sheets from the plywood to make up the sides and the floor of the horse feeder. Having a floor to the horse feeder prevents the horse feed from getting dirty. It is also important to make sure you use untreated wood.
Cut out two 18"x22" pieces to form the ends of the horse feeder. The next step is to attach all these together. It is best to do the long (front and back) sides first and then move on to the ends. Use nails or screws to attach them. You can then either put an entire hay bale in the horse feeder or stuff handfuls in.
A variation on the ground feeder, this type of horse feeder can be mounted on the wall of a stall and features and opening and along the length of the bottom. The horse pulls the horse feed from the bottom.
Hanging horse feeders
This type of horse feeder is probably the cheapest and simplest to make, they can come in very handy for use in horseboxes or outside when a horse is at a show. A hanging horse feeder also serves as a good back up to a regular horse feeder should one not be available.
You will need some netting for this, nets from football or hockey goals can be very useful for this. They also need to be hung up high enough so that a horse can't get his hoof caught in the net. The correct height should mean that the horse has to reach up slightly to get to the horse feed.
Take the net and cut a circle with a diameter of roughly 6 feet. Make sure they cuts are fairly tidy and that they won't fray too much. Take some fairly thin nylon rope and weave it all the way around the edge of the net to construct the horse feeder. Make sure that you leave enough rope at each end, roughly 12" to use as a drawstring. This rope is also what is used to hang the horse feeder so make sure that it is long enough.
Round bales
This is another simple and temporary horse feeder. They are exceptionally good if you know that you won't be able to feed your horse for a several days.
These types of horse feeders use a large, hay bale in the middle. They can be very heavy to move so you build the horse feeder around the hay bale.
Place the bale on top of a wooden pallet and use more pallets to place vertically around the side of the bale, forming a circle around it. The pallets need to be placed so that the slats are vertical. Use some wire and run it through the pallets to keep them vertical and tightly in place. The horse accesses the horse feed by reaching over the 'fence' and it ensures that the hay stays clean.

Group sues Hershey Company

The group wants to review company documents, which they claim, might show the company violated international labor laws.
Hershey maintains it is committed to ensuring all of its cocoa, by 2020, will come from suppliers that meet international labor standards.

2009 Patriot Golf Day Raises More Than $1.9 Million
After more than 4,400 golf facilities across the country registered to participate in this year's third annual Patriot Golf Day, $1.9 million was raised to benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Patriot Golf Day, jointly supported by the PGA of America and the USGA, is the primary fundraiser for the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while serving our great nation. A total of 569 educational scholarships have been awarded by the Folds of Honor Foundation in the last two years.
Patriot Golf Day was originated by Major Dan Rooney, an F-16 pilot, PGA pro and USGA member from Broken Arrow, Okla., who has served three tours of duty in Iraq. During Labor Day weekend at participating courses nationwide, golfers were asked to donate at least $1 for each round of golf. As a supporter of Patriot Golf Day, American Express donated an additional $100,000 to support the Folds of Honor Foundation by matching donations.
In the last three years, PGA professionals and USGA members have been instrumental in raising more than $5.1 million in Patriot Golf Days at their facilities. The inaugural Patriot Golf Day was held September 1, 2007, and resulted in donations of more than $1.1 million. The second event was held over Labor Day weekend in 2008 raised more than $2.1 million, including donations of $130,000 from Captain Paul Azinger and the 12 members of the victorious U.S. Ryder Cup Team.
"It is so rewarding to see that 569 children and/or spouses of those who have been killed or injured due to their military service are getting educational opportunities, thanks to the selfless fundraising efforts of our PGA Professionals, USGA Members and amateur golfers across the country," said PGA of America president Jim Remy. "The game of golf raises $3.5 billion each year for various charities and the PGA of America is proud to be able to promote and support the mission of the Folds of Honor."
Among the fundraising efforts, the Carolinas PGA Section raised more than $145,000 at its facilities with the Country Club of Sapphire Valley in Cashiers, N.C., turning in more than $20,000. PGA professional Abe Hernandez of Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas raised more than $22,000 by selling $50 raffle tickets for an opportunity to win a 2009 Victory Kingpin motorcycle featuring the signatures from many of the most prominent sports stars in Dallas, along with PGA Tour players Justin Leonard, Anthony Kim, Adam Scott and 2010 U.S. Ryder Cup Team Captain Corey Pavin.
"The Northern Texas PGA Section believed in what I was doing," Hernandez said. "With the support and encouragement of Royal Oaks Head Professional Randy Smith and our club members, I knew that this would be a big year."
Fundraising also hit the open road for a unique added initiative, October 25, with PGA professionals representing 13 PGA sections raising $80,000 for the Folds of Honor Foundation and section charitable foundations as competitors in the 34th Marine Corps Marathon in Washington D.C. More than 21,000 runners competed in the Marine Corps Marathon, including a contingent of 26 runners, 16 of which were PGA professionals, their family members and friends.

"I believe in the sanctity of marriage. John and I, you know, we were both in long marriages and it's not something that we need to rush back into," the double Oscar winner, 36, tells September's InStyle, on newsstands Friday, about her agent-beau of nearly four years.
The same goes for starting a family together. Already a mom-figure in Campisi's son's life, Swank says that although she's thought about having kids "since a really young age," she'll wait until "the time is right."
Even though the Oscar winner may have gone through a painful breakup with Chad Lowe, she only sees the positives in their split.
"A lot of people look at divorce as a failure. I really look at my relationship with Chad as 14 years of success," she says about her ex, with whom she separated in January 2006. "I will carry him in my heart forever. He's a part of me."
"Friends of mine and I talk about this. Does someone come into your life for a certain time, and then you are supposed to go your separate ways?" she asks. "There's a part of me that thinks that's true."
There are friendships, Swank says, "that we grow out of. But I believe in the long haul. I believe in having a monogamous relationship."

Following the reveal of a teaser trailer for the forthcoming Air Conflicts: Vietnam last week, bitComposer Gamers has offered some brand new details on the gameplay modes set to feature in the forthcoming videogame. Air Conflicts: Vietnam is currently in development at Games Farm and will be released late in 2013.
Air Conflicts: Vietnam offers the popular combination of flight simulation and arcade gameplay. In the course of the videogame, the player controls over twenty accurately simulated fighter jets and helicopters from the Vietnam War era. In certain missions, the player has to leave the pilots seat temporarily to operate the guns and defend against attacks. If several fighter jets take part in a mission, the player can equip and upgrade them individually, as well as control the entire squadron. Air Conflicts: Vietnam offers a variety of missions and a compelling story set against the background of one of the best-known and most controversial wars in modern history.
Air Conflicts: Vietnam promises the opportunity to allow players to immerse themselves in a compelling and emotional story which, alongside heroic moments, reveals the darker side of war. Experience the Vietnam War, one of the most explosive and violent wars of all time, up close. Witness the experiences of a brave U.S. Air Force pilot and immerse yourself ever deeper in the story thanks to the dramatic musical score.
In addition to fighter jet missions, there are also new, special helicopter missions to complete. Take control of entire squadrons and equip your airplanes and helicopters with realistic weapons. Every airplane can only be loaded with a limited amount of ammunition. However, you can compensate for this by switching between different airplanes in your squadron.
Air Conflicts: Vietnam will feature both single-player and multi-player gameplay modes, with over twenty different aeroplanes and helicopters from U.S. and Russia. Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on Air Conflicts: Vietnam as it approaches release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Linux, Mac OS and Windows PC later this year.
