The U.S. Supreme Court will take a look at Michigan's ban on affirmative action, it was announced today.
Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law, said since the justices haven't ruled yet on the Texas case, the decision Monday could indicate the court is looking to the Michigan case to consider an even broader ruling.
"This could be a much broader ruling if the court were to decide that the (Michigan) ban was constitutional," Tobias said. If such an admissions policy a ban were found constitutional, he said, "It would change the landscape substantially."

This review is from: HIS HD 6000 Radeon HD 6790 DirectX 11 H679F1GD 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Plug-in Card Video Card with Eyefinity
Pros: Video playback was superb, most games play great, easy crossfire setup. While they worked the experience I had was great, wish I could have gave it 5 eggs. Tech support was prompt and american
Cons: Only lasted for the manufacturers warranty. Cards started freezing up my computer a day before Thanksgiving, after trying to find the problem, hoping for an easy fix, find out 3 days after warranty is up, these 2 cards both died. Called HIS tech support, and since it was just 3-4 days after my warranty was up, they wouldnt even bother with me.
Other Thoughts: Sad that these only lasted for the exact warranty of the cards. I find it hard to believe they both died about the same time, but it is what it is, and I guess I will just go to another manufacturer for my computer accessories.
Would have given 5 eggs, but with their Tech support pushing me off the phone because I am 4 days late and the cards only lasted there exact warranty days, I could only give 2 eggs

Pros: High FPS, Nvidia, superb card, will explain more in Other thoughts
Cons: 256mb, will explain more in Other thoughts
Other Thoughts: I bought this card for my GF so while we are playing WOW, she could experience the game as I did with seeing the beauty of the artwork they put into the land. I have the ATI Radeon 2600 XT with 512mb of ram, with the Nvidia she got more FPS than I did, but the quality of her picture was still not as good as mine.
For the quality of the picture, I matched her video settings duplicating mine, although her Picture was still unbelievable, my ATI actually put out better quality, which may be because my card has 512mb instead of the 256. The Nvidia still ran smoother.
Although I am an ATI/AMD person, I would still consider the possibility of take a switch back to the Nvidia Video Card world
This review is from: Rosewill RH-001 - 2 x 3.5mm Connector Circumaural Multimedia Stereo Headset

The photo needs to be clear enough to catch the resemblance, too.
This is no time for selfies. Enlist a friend to take a clear shot of you and your pet together, Miller said.
Entrants cannot be SPCA employees.
Filming for the commercial will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on May 6. If the winner is unable to attend this session, another contestant will be chosen, Miller said.

I am wonder in what grade is your son. My son wants to tutor. He is a foothill college student, English is one of this favorites subjects and his major. He has done pretty well in English. Let me know the grade. Thanks.

I am a student at Gunn, and English is much easier in terms of difficulty than math or science.
I got straight A's so far(including honors). You may not need a tutor, unless you are not a native speaker or are mentally defunct.
a resident of Barron Park
on Aug 12, 2010 at 11:08 pm
English Ellie,
I think you meant mentally deficient rather than mentally defunct. The word defunct means "not existing anymore."
Although you find English easier than math and science, there are many students who have a different experience, especially with essay writing. As an English teacher, I can assure you that not all those needing an English tutor are English language learners or mentally deficient.

Kevin James was tired entering the Delaware County Championships' final day on Saturday afternoon.
The Cardinal O'Hara junior had won the 3,200-meter National race Thursday in 9 minutes, 28.52 seconds, before taking the SAT Saturday morning and rushing up to that afternoon's meet at Interboro's South Avenue Athletic Complex.
James' quest toward county supremacy quickly gained steam, however, when he took the 1,600 in 4:14.22, just ahead of teammates Nick Smart (4:16.34) and Jim Belfatto (4:17.94).
Roughly 50 minutes later, James completed the triple when he put on a furious kick in the home stretch of the 800 to win in 1:55.85.

LeadHer is Challenging Women of All Ages to Grow in their
Faith, Leadership, and Relationships
Our Heart
God designed women with a deep need to connect with others through relationships. However, as women we often accept cultural and personal limitations on our callings and on God's desire to use our relationships, our gifts, and our passions for his purposes. LeadHer believes that all women have the potential to influence, affect and unite the world for God's glory.
By getting involved in LeadHer women of all ages, denominations, and experiences of faith are challenged to understand their God-given purpose and to steward it daily.
LeadHer Local Chapters are open to women ages 14-114. Chapters meet twice a month and are 100% free for you to connect with. By getting involved in an existing chapter you will find you are part of more than just a women's Bible Study- you become part of a movement of passionate women who are striving to go deeper in their walk with God, better develop their leadership skills, and intentionally build community and relationships!
Our big prayer is to have a LeadHer Local chapter within driving distance of every woman. If there is not yet a LeadHer chapter in your community than we invite you to prayerfully consider starting one.
Our goal is to give our coordinators the perfect balance of structure and flexibility. With LeadHer, you will get training, support, community with other coordinators, materials, and mentoring all to help you not only grow your chapter- but also grow you as a LeadHer as well!
"I am so grateful for LeadHer! My local chapter helped me find faith in God and grow in my relationship with Him! I would have never been able to connect with LeadHer if there had been a membership fee – I am so thankful to the supporters who make my LeadHer chapter possible each month!"Morganne
Our Supporters Make LeadHer Possible
All of our LeadHer Chapters are FREE for women to start and to join. We are able to do this because of the individuals, businesses, and churches that choose to support our vision to encourage and equip women on an ongoing basis. We would love for you to take a few moments and learn about all the different ways that you can help us grow new LeadHers worldwide!

due to the new robotics that will do factory tasks at the equilvant of 3.25 per hour. with this n the horizon USA manufacturers can compete with China while not becoming involved with shpping costs. Workers that will not work for less than 3.25 per hour will simply not be hired anymore.
A big win for the USA consumer and manufacturers
Why don't you move to China ! You communist BlTCH !!!
PPL LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON WHY THIS GREAT COUNTRY OF OURS IS DEPLETING DAY BY DAY . You really need to do a mission trip to a third world country to see what it will be like in 20 years for America cause that's where we're headed.Two classes super rich/dirt poor.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
There is no third world country that will give you a picture of the future of the US. Remember we have guns and even the dirt poor have guns.

The conventional wisdom used to be (in the case of a singer songwriter) that the publishing deal should be delayed until the record deal is in place. It is the record deal which gives value to the singer songwriter's publishing rights and there is a fear that if the writer concludes a publishing deal before signing a record contract he or she may sell the deal short. This view is no longer so common. Music publishers have become far more competitive. A publisher will often be the first to recognise (before any record company) the talent of a particular songwriter and may enthusiastically seek an involvement with the writer in the expectation of then being able to help secure a record deal. Some publishers will even finance master quality recordings for independent release with a view to building up an artist to the point where a major record deal is achievable.
Publishers are skilled at selling themselves but like all salesmen they tend sometimes to make exaggerated claims. In the majority of cases writers look to publishers for one overriding reason – money. If in the case of a particular recording project there is no difficulty in securing a record deal, then the prudent approach is probably to conclude that deal so that it may then be used to secure the best possible terms from a publisher. Otherwise, if there is no record deal in sight but reasonable terms are available from a publisher there is no reason in principle why a publishing contract should not be concluded without delay.

Add your comment...
|Here are some details about my project:
|Whimsical, Cute, Romantic
What was your source for this knitting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Lacey Wristlets
What materials did you use? I used a DK weight yarn and a size 5 needle. It is now available for a FREE download on Ravelry.com
What are you most proud of? I have recently started designing patterns and have them on Ravelry.com. I have been knitting for 50+ years and designed many things but for myself and family, and never wrote anything down. So now I have started with small things. Infants to be exact. But the one thing I am most proud of are the two children's books that I now have on Amazon.com. 'The Knitting Ewes' Whimsical short stories about a unique flock of sheep that knit. I am in the process of writing a third book now. The books are meant for both the adult and child to enjoy together. I include a knitting pattern with each book, that is based loosely on the story. I always say ' Dream, read, and knit until the sheep come home'.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? An intermediate beginner that is a little adventurous would be fine with this. And you will learn a little about lace too. Those of you who like to 'push' yourself a little, and don't want to be bored with another plain knitting project this will be fun to try and wear.
Very pretty! Love that they're a fast knit.

The Catholic Church in the Australian state of Victoria has revealed its clergy were responsible for more than 600 "shameful and shocking" cases of child sexual abuse dating back to the 1930s.
The Archbishop of Melbourne, Denis Hart, said the figures were "horrific" - though campaigners said the number of victims could be as high as 10,000.
The church has revealed to a parliamentary inquiry that its complaints department has upheld 618 complaints of abuse in the past sixteen years. The inquiry was announced after it emerged that 40 victims in the state had committed suicide.
Though only 13 of the cases occurred since 1990, the church admitted it was "ashamed" at its slow response to complaints dating back decades.
"We were very slow to take victims seriously, to listen to what they said and what had happened to them, to believe their accounts," said the church's spokesman, Father Shane Mackinlay.
"Our submission faces the truth of those sort of numbers and the horrific extent and the horrific consequences for each of the victims represented by the numbers... Where there were absolutely dramatic and appalling rates of abuse in the 1970s and 1980s, that's dropped off extraordinarily."
However, experts said the number of the church's victims could number in the thousands because only a small fraction of those sexually abused are believed to report the crime.
EVen the Buddist monks are not saints worst crooks. in Endgland one got convicted for Child molesting, here in Sri Lnka many samanera's were molested please highlight those as well

Skip to comments.Hillary Blames Some Benghazi Failures on Hired Hands
Posted on 06/09/2014 5:33:32 AM PDT by don-o
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tried to deflect some of the blame for the failure of preventing the Benghazi terror attack on hired experts. She made the comments in an interview with Diane Sawyer:
Sawyer asked, "Is there anything you personally should have been doing to make it safer in Benghazi?"
"Well," Clinton responded, "what I did was give very direct instructions that the people who have the expertise and experience in security --
"But personally you --"
"Well that is personal, though, Diane. I mean, I am not -- I'm not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be. That's why we hire people who have that expertise," Clinton responded.
"I wonder if people are looking for a sentence that begins from you, 'I should have, I should have,'" Sawyer responded.
(Excerpt) Read more at weeklystandard.com ...
They are psychopaths maybe?
No. This is the usual script... put out "reasonable" excuses for why she didn't do her job. Diane's helping. She's saying she did do her job but who could expect her to be an engineer too.
The "teaser" clip ended w/o Hillary's answer to this rather provocative question. That is, at least, a direct question going to her personal competence and accountability.
I mean, being the smartest woman in the universe and all.
Tommy Vietor @TVietor08 3m
Hard Choices is far from boring. It's filled with insider detail about the most important foreign policy decisions of Obama's first term.
Proof that extra terrestrials walk and work among us.
If she can't sit and look at blueprints, she could have stood and did it. No sale.
Her and her beard are.
In other words, he was still ultimately responsible. His new job required him to judge the competency and reliability of others, rather than making the judgments himself. If they failed, he failed. Were it only so with politicians.
"Well that is personal, though, Diane. I mean, I am not — I'm not equipped to sit and look at blueprints to determine where the blast walls need to be or where the reinforcements need to be. That's why we hire people who have that expertise," Clinton responded.
Like obozo yesterday Clinton displays an utter lack of honor or courage or leadership. We have NOTHING at the top of this country...NOTHING.
And they were all put where they are by a majority vote. A corrupt people prefer to be ruled by corrupt leaders.
You could have sent in more troops or pulled the personnel out rather than pretending they were safe.
Pray America wakes up
Unusual angle to view Hillary. Looks like she weighs 200 pounds. Not that there is anything wrong with that....
One of the most basic rules of management is that you can delegate authority, but not responsibility.
Let's face it....Obama had total control over you.
"Oh, Huma...."

LOL. So Hillary's response is basically "I told them to be careful".
Better question. Where is all the millions that went missing while you were running state and could any of those missing funds been money that was supposed to increase security for the compounds in Benghazi ?
And who gave the stand down orders Hilly?
She has to blame somebody. Given time, I like what she came up with. It's better than some Obama excuses!

Rated 4 out of 5�by BaseballMom26 Good purchase for the price... I ordered this hat as a Birthday gift for my father. The camo print is wonderful as is the Angeles logo. The hat itself is a lose hat so if someone is a die hard fitted hat fan they may not appreciate it as much. April 15, 2014

Best Contemporary Restaurant
It's probably no secret that we've been fans of chef-co-proprietor Tony Sindaco since he opened this cool little joint a couple of years ago. What may surprise you is our loyalty -- we still think he's tops. Check out some recent menu offerings: barbecued mahi-mahi and wild-mushroom torta with Jack cheese, mango salsa, and jalapeño sour cream; black grouper with roasted cauliflower, fingerling potatoes, and a coulis of vine tomatoes; seared Maine scallops with Savoy cabbage, warm garlic-bacon potato salad, and cider sauce. You'll note several uniform things about the dishes at Sunfish Grill: Almost every main ingredient is fish or seafood, and without fail all are consistently modern without descending into fusion confusion.

This was the first work by Pablo Picasso to be bought by the Tate Gallery. It was acquired in 1933 with the help of the Contemporary Art Society, a fund established in 1910 to help public museums and galleries buy important works of art. This surprising flower painting by Picasso reveals a lot about the tastes of the Tate Gallery Trustees in the early twentieth century. In 1933 Picasso was already an established avant-garde artist, but the decision to buy this conservative early work shows that the Trustees were resisting the more radical developments in modern art.

Historical Traveler Reviews Palm Beach Oceanfront Inn
Absolutely disgraceful!
We spent two nights at this establishment out of necessity as everywhere else that was decent was already booked as it was Valentines weekend. This place is no more than the most basic of motels, despite its description as a 'boutique' hotel. The staff were to be commended as they were as helpful as possible, but the rooms were basic (even the so-called upgraded ones).Our bathroom was covered in pubic hairs, despite the fact that it had been cleaned as evidenced bu the toilet roll having been folded into a neat triangle at the end. The towels are of the small. thin and thin on the ground, as they were reluctant to give us some or the beach. At $161 per night, this does not reflect well on the management.
The bar area lends a seedy atmosphere to what could and should be a sophisticated experience as this motel is located along a beautiful stretch of beach. Again, this was marred by the stingy nature the place is run, as one is obliged to rent the beach loungers at $8 per chair.
It was extremely unpleasant to be fleeced for every penny having paid top dollar for the most ordinary accommodation.
The one highlight is breakfast overlooking the sea. Again, they like to charge palm Beach prices, but this was well worth it as the food was excellent as was the service.
All in all, this is a last resort 'resort', as it just doesn't live up to expectations. The hotel we moved to after this one had free beach loungers, as many plush towels as one wanted, and was not the denizen of your typical macho truck driver getting drunk and 'on the make' on vacation, as was this place.
My kids had a blast!
I stayed there with my 3 children. My kids played on the beach all day.
While I read my books poolside. I could watch them playing becaus ethe pool is right above the beach. Wonderful.
I enjoyed thier restuarnt great food not too expensive.
I had a ball, and kids loved it too.
Love you guys and see you soon!
New ownership Great renovations Looks like a Bermuda style hide away Direct Oceanfront Private Beach Kids loved it Next door to 5 star resorts Minutes to Worth ave and City Place we paid about $100 Need I say more
Awesome see ya soon
Great Value
The hotel and staff were great. I hope that the other reviews keep guests away, so the prices will stay low. Were can you stay on the beach in Palm Beach County for the money. The restaurant was great, the view fantastic and worth the money. If what you want is First Class, the go to Ritz Carlton; pay the price and don't complain. a satisfied customer that will return many times.
Glad we only had 1 night
November 2003. The carpet in this room was so dirty. The property is run down and in need of attention. A dirty washrag was hanging in the shower. The coffeepot did not work right and only half filled when run.
The Tides grill had good food, a beautiful view and seemed in much better repair. We had supper and breakfast there. We paid $50.00 for the room(2 adults, 2 children) and received $16.00 credit for breakfast on a special rate through Nov. from a discount hotel website. At that rate I guess I can not complain too much. If the carpet had not got our feet dirty I may not have complained at all. It was a safe area and the beach was nice. All in all we got what we paid for.
Now, I try to not be a picky person but these people push it a bit too far. When my friend and I arrived, we had to pay extra money to use the beach even though Florida residents who DO NOT stay at the hotel tell, take up parking and space at the beach for....wel...FREE! And as paying customers we had to pay to use the beach. Then, it costs a dollar each time you use the phone, even if you use a 1-800 number. The receptionist told us it would be a "flat rate of $1.00 per call" but after I made 3 calls my bill mysteriously went up to $5.24. Flat rate?
I think not. Every time the maid changed the sheets we had sand in our bed. We used the coffee mus and glasses provided for us but never got replaced with new ones each day like they should have. Our maid didn't come until 4pm after our first day. Pathetic! Don't waste your time at this hotel. You don't get what you pay for! There are dirty looking people for a dirty hotel. Even after I read the reviews for this hotel previous to my trip, I still went, and discovered that EVERY negative comment was right. So, take it from me!
Great value
my wife and i stayed there last week. We paid $69 a night and got a free full breakfast included, not continental. The hotel is directly on the beach next to the Ritz Carlton. We drove to city place and worth ave evryday. The rooms need work but i belive they are being renovated.
The best oceanfront value on the Island of palm Beach, bar none.
Do not stay here. It is awful-used to be fairly nice
We have stayed here for years but did not the last two years and it was always fairly nice, but this time on Aug;10, it was disgusting. The motel has gone down so much. It is such a shame. The room was filthy and no one returned our calls when we wanted to talk to the management.
The floor had sand, hair and dirt on all of it and our feet got black from being on it. The entire room was moldy from a leak by the refrig and the bathroom was filthy.This is the worst room I have ever been in and I am 55 and travel alot. It is such a nice location and used to be nice but now do not stay here. It is not worth it and very noisy and alot of weird people hanging around and the management does not care.
They only care about the bar crowd. Such a shame. We come to Fla alot and will not stay here again until we know it has been cleaned up. The health dept really needs to go. The restaurant was dirty too. They will not get return business that is for sure.
Not worth the money!
This hotel was such a disappointment. I only stayed here because my grandmother lives in a condo two doors down, and there wasn't enough room for my whole family to stay there. I feel bad for the people who actually make a vacation out of staying at this place. I don't know why they say the rooms are recently renovated, I'd hate to see them before! I am not very picky about where I sleep, I just expect it to be clean (especially for $150/night). The room was dingy, dark and the carpet was filthy. The bathroom looked like it hadn't been cleaned in weeks, there was sand and hair still in the tub from the last guests! And there was hair all over the floor. One day, we went to the beach and got back to the room at 5pm, and it still hadn't been cleaned. The pool area is filled with drunk slobs with mullets and tattoos. Thank god I could go over to the pool and beach area at my grandmother's condo! For the price you pay, this hotel is one of the dirtiest I've ever stayed at.
Never again!
The Palm Beach Hawaiian Ocean Inn is now called the Palm Beach Ocean Front Inn. I now know why they changed their name. I truly regret that I didnt see your reviews of this place before I had the worst hotel experience of my lifetime. My husband and I have travelled the world over and have never been as disgusted as this. We arrived at the hotel late in the evening and couldnt tell how dirty it was. After 1 hour in the room I looked at my socks and they were black! My husband and my Mother threw their socks away. I left mine with the manager to show him the problem. I doubt he will do anything. He never did a thing to help us during our stay. The 2 bedroom suites are poolside. What they dont tell you is this is also bar side. They actually have a speaker mounted on the room right outside your door. The music comes on at 7:30am and stays on constantly until 10:30 pm. I called the manager twice per day all three days to complain. He never turned down the music, even when the bar was empty! They knew we were travelling with a toddler. We had requested a crib. The crib was unusable. Good luck getting a toddler to sleep with music blaring! On Friday night they had a live band. I had to step over the amp to get out of my room. The band was literally 2 feet from my door. I requested to change rooms but the other rooms were standard hotel rooms. The room he offerred me was filthy and smelled awful. I was amazed at the level of total disregard the staff had for us. We were paying $200 per night. We had to suffer through those 3 nights. We couldnt find anywhere else in high season. Dont go to this place unless you are under 21 and love to party, dont mind filth, and arent of afraid of burly drunk men.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has been given permission to stay in Russia for three more years.
Last year, Snowden blew the whistle on the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance programs.
The former NSA contractor has not, however, been granted political asylum, a move that would allow him to stay in Russia permanently. The decision on political asylum will be made through a separate process.
"In the future, Edward himself will take a decision on whether to stay (in Russia) and get Russian citizenship or leave for the United States," Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, was quoted by the state news agency RIA Novosti.
The news comes amid rising tensions between Russia and other Western powers over the nation's role in the Ukrainian conflict.
President Vladimir Putin is retaliating against sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other Western nations with reprisals of his own.
Moscow is banning agricultural products, including all meat, fish, milk, fruits and vegetables for one year. The sanctions apply to European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Norway.
Russia's prime minister said that they're also considering banning Western airlines from flying in Russian airspace.
Meanwhile, Ukraine and the European Union are threatening retaliation.
"We hoped until the very last that our foreign colleagues would realize that sanctions are a dead end and that nobody needs them," the New York Times quoted Ukraine Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev. "Things have turned out in such a way that we have to implement retaliatory measures."
The EU's policy-making body said the sanctions were "politically motivated."
"We underline that the European Union's restrictive measures are directly linked with the illegal annexation of Crimea and destabilization of Ukraine," the European Commission said in a statement Thursday.
"The European Union remains committed to de-escalating the situation in Ukraine. All should join in this effort," the statement read.

RODE's iXY microphone for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is a fantastic way to boost the quality of audio recordings.
If you record your university lectures, do any interview work, or want a cheap way to boost your YouTube voice-overs, this is a reasonably cheap way to get good audio with the convenience of your smartphone.
RODE iXY: Design and setup
The RODE iXY is a nifty little thing. It's built out of smooth, satin grey metal, and the microphone body is absolutely rock solid — we would seriously say it's the best-built iPhone accessory we've ever come across.
This isn't true of the 30-pin iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S connector, though — it's long and thin and is prone to wobbling. This isn't a slight on the iXY, rather on Apple's connector. To be equally fair, any connector, be it Lightning or Thunderbolt or HDMI or DisplayPort, would struggle with a comparatively bulky device like the iXY if pressure was applied in the wrong direction. During our use we were wary of hitting the iXY and snapping either the male or female side of the Apple connector.
Two Torx screws hold the base of the iXY, where the connector is, to the microphone section. Two half-inch cardoid condensor microphones are arranged in the distinctive X/Y pattern from which the iXY derives its name. Everything is all put together with exacting detail, and nothing feels out of place or unnecessary. The angular design means it is a bit of a strange shape to hold in your hand, but it's perfectly fine when connected to your iDevice.
To use the RODE iXY to its full potential, you've got to download and install the RODE Rec app from the App Store. There's a basic version of the app available for free, but if you're serious about getting the best quality recordings — and you should be, since you bought a $199 iPhone microphone — there is a fully-featured version that costs $6.49. It lets you do a lot more, like implementing an equaliser, changing gain and running a volume normaliser. We'd definitely use it, but it is an extra cost that we think should be included in the iXY's price tag.
RODE bundles two extras with the iXY. There's a spherical foam pop-sock that blocks out any wind noise, and a hard carry case to store the iXY (although there's no room for the wind sock).
RODE iXY: Performance and sound quality
We tested the RODE iXY against the internal microphone of an iPhone 4. There are other iPhone-connecting microphones out there, but we didn't have any available and we think that demonstrating the difference between the iXY and the iPhone's internal mic best shows the advantage of buying any external high-quality microphone.
What the RODE iXY has as its party piece is recording in 24-bit, 96KHz. There's a lot of discussion about the advantage of recording in 96KHz versus a more reasonable sampling rate like 48Khz or 44.1KHz, but suffice to say the theory behind it is the ability to record a wider range of sounds, with more detail — no cut-off for any ultra-sonic frequencies that nonetheless contribute to the character of sound. In any case, the iXY can do it and other iPhone microphones can't.
Regardless of bit depth and sampling rate, if you're comparing the RODE iXY to the iPhone's built-in microphone, the difference is significant. The huge differences come in the form of extra detail resolved, and the use of stereo recording. To demonstrate the difference, listen to these recordings.
The text passage dictated comes from RODE's marketing materials for the iXY — sorry, but it's what we had close to hand. We made our recording in near-ideal conditions — a quiet room, almost no ambient noise, and with the iPhone held directly in front of us at around 30 centimetres range. The first recording is using the iPhone's internal microphone, mono audio at RODE Rec's default settings:
By comparison, the audio that the RODE iXY picks up is far more well-rounded. It's got a lot more bass to it, and doesn't sound like it's been recorded through a plastic tube. Listen for the (more accurate) deeper sound of our voice, and better recording of every sibilant noise (like S's and Z's):
We've got a couple more real-world recordings comparing the iPhone and the RODE iXY, and we'll share those as soon as possible.
Where the RODE iXY is probably most valuable over the iPhone's internal mic is that it's a proper stereo setup versus the iPhone's mono. Listen to this recording where the microphone is moved to the left and to the right of a phone speaker playing music:
Recording that kind of stereo audio is impossible with an iPhone's internal mic — move it to either side of an audio source, and the overall recording volume just drops away.
Take wind noise as another example of the huge difference in quality between the RODE iXY and the internal iPhone mic. This is wind noise — held 10 centimetres from a small desk fan — with the iPhone's internal microphone:
This is the wind noise in the same scenario that the RODE iXY picks up:
Put the wind sock on, and wind noise is massively reduced:
Sharing to Soundcloud and Dropbox, as well as through iTunes or via email, is incredibly easy with the RODE Rec app. If you're trying to file a radio news story, capture some ambient audio, having instant Web access through your smartphone is a huge boost in convenience.
RODE iXY: Conclusion
If you're doing any kind of audio recording with your iPhone, you've probably already come up against the brick wall that is the device's internal microphone. RODE's iXY is a revelation in quality, and its one-two punch with the RODE Rec app is hugely convenient. We think it's well worth the asking price.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I lost the 3.5mm -> 1/4" adapter that came with my ATH-AD700's so I'm looking for a new one. I see some for sale with bad reviews, so I'm not sure which to get. Is there a discernable quality difference based on the material used? Any recommendations?
On a side note the 3.5mm jack got bent. We tried to bend it back to where it is supposed to be, but when plugged into say an iPod, the headphones only play if the jack is in a certain position. I don't know much about replacing jacks or cables on headphones, so I was hoping that I could at least use them with a 1/4 adapter since I'm wondering if they would be more forgiving with the 3.5mm jack being slightly bent in comparison to a music player's sensors.

I often times hear how important it is to be a "smart health care consumer." As college students it can seem like a topic that is not relevant to us, but within the next four years we will be gradating and eventually looking for jobs. You may end up staying in the area or what if you make a huge move and end up in California? Once you graduate you have many decisions to make include one's about health care.

Amy is a Connecticut-based knitwear designer, the leader of the Fit to Flatter tutorials and the author of the popular books Knit to Flatter and Knitting It Old School. She's passionate about helping budding knitters create flattering, well-fitting sweaters they can't wait to wear, and she travels the country sharing this knowledge in her ever-friendly manner. As a designer, her patterns have been featured in Twist Collective, KnitScene and other respected magazines. You can also find her self-published designs on her website, amyherzogdesigns.com.Read More » View all patterns by designer (14) »
Wintry Mix lets you have your cake and eat it, too: A com- fortable, cozy sweater for the chilliest of days that still flat- ters your figure. Constructed nearly seamlessly, the body is knit in the round from the hem up; the set-in sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up; the cowl is also picked up and worked in the round.
As with most of my patterns, vertical waist shaping darts enable easy customization to fit your needs. Should you desire less waist shaping than specified, you can either omit the shaping rows entirely, or omit/reduce only the shaping on the front of the sweater. Bustier women can accommodate their needs by performing more increases on the front of the sweater, and not in the back. Extra stitches should be decreased into the neckline. (As with all patterns, compare the schematic against your own measurements and make alterations as necessary.)
Berroco's Blackstone Tweed is a truly luscious blend of wool, mohair, and angora that results in an incredibly luxe sweater. For more information, please see: http://www.amyherzogdesigns.com/designs/sweaters/wintry-mix/

An opportunity for community colleges.
January 12, 2009
The honorable political pledge to "make college affordable" becomes a wolf in sheep's clothing during a recession. And the wolf is at the door. This recession already promises dramatic cuts in state subsides for public colleges and will result in widely condemned tuition increases. Mandates to hold down rising tuitions will surely follow, wrapped in the mantle of greater college affordability and access, but ultimately resulting in less of both.

A poem by Laurence Musgrove.
January 7, 2009
Just before heading to San Francisco for the annual convention of the Modern Language Association, I had a brilliant idea, or so it seemed. Between scholarly panels and face-to-face meetings, I would blog here at Inside Higher Ed. Instead of scribbling notes on a pad and then synthesizing out some kind of continuous text after the fact, this would mean recording the MLA in all its paratactic glory -- perhaps including links to YouTube videos of people saying interesting things in casual discussion after the panels.

Now I Know What a Kick to the Groin Feels Like...
Thursday, February 24, 2011
Disclaimer -- I am copying this from my blogger blog (link on my page if you wanna check it out)-- but I had to share here as well!
When I started this blog months back � the one thing I wanted to document was my progress into a more positive way of thinking and living.
I have lived in the negative for too long and I refuse to reside there ANY longer.
Because of that -- I do not use this blog to trash others � ever.
I may put a silly rant or express disappointment in vague terms � but never ever will you hear my bash anyone I know or otherwise.
Just not my style.
I have to say this � the fella working the desk at my brandy-new gym, Planet Fitness, is a GOON!
I was SO psyched to get to the gym this morning. Brian and I asked my Mom to watch Skylar so we could both go � we packed a bag � had a plan of attack � etc. and so forth. Getting out of the house together � alone without kids � is a major feat in itself.
We go strolling into the gym, Brian is signing in as my guest, and the guy notices my keychain picture of Skylar with Santa taken at our local mall before the holidays and says to me, and I quote.
�Oh you must like Christmas a lot, is that your grandson?�
Come again?
My grandson?
Are you freakin� serious????
A. Skylar is NOT a boy and no one has EVER mistaken her for one!
B. I am NOT a grandmother � not even close!
It is my worst nightmare realized � truly!
And I finally know what getting kicked in the groin must feel like...
I correct him and say that the picture is of my DAUGHTER to which he looked mortified and never said another word to me.
And ya know� if he was some young punk I might understand it � but this buffoon was at least my age if not older!!!
I admit freely that I stewed over this for the entire 45 minutes I was on the treadmill.
Heck � who am I kidding � I am still stewing � OBVIOUSLY!
I realize that most Mother�s with children as young as Skylar (20 months) are typically not about to turn 41 � but it isn�t exactly unheard of in this day and age.
And this whole experience just compounds some feelings I have about being an *older* Mom � I don�t always relate (no matter how dang hard I try) to other Moms of young children � and women my age are usually past all of this baby rearing and don�t want to talk about potty-training and playgroups.
So I fall through the cracks and get misjudged!
And let�s not even get started on the whole vanity issue.
Wait� let�s!
Do I look like someone�s Grandmother?!?!
Boo hoo
Yeah, yeah, yeah � woe is me, right?
So because I refuse to stew in this negativity any longer � I will use this to fuel me through my QUEST to get in shape and hit my goal weight.
Let him call me a grandma then.
Let anyone for that matter!
I do not want to trash a whole gym because of one person's faux par -- but you know for those of us on this weight loss journey it sometimes takes every ounce of GUTS we have to just take the plunge by joining -- let alone actually stepping foot IN the gym. And for this to happen my very first time going just irked me. Thankfully I am a strong type and I refuse to let this falter me -- but for somewhere that claims to be a *NO JUDGEMENT ZONE* type of gym -- they should think before they speak!
Just sayin'!
Peace, love, and skinny margaritas my friends!

JACKSON, N.J. — Sharon Harrington, chief administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), recently joined its School Bus Inspection Unit during a scheduled inspection of the Jackson Township Board of Education's fleet.
The unit inspects all New Jersey-registered vehicles used for school transportation — including school buses, small school vehicles, dual-purpose vehicles and summer camp vehicles — at approximately 1,300 inspection locations twice a year. MVC inspectors check over 180 items on each vehicle, in addition to reviewing gas, diesel, emissions, maintenance records and daily driver reports.
"It is because of our commitment to the safety of the state's students that the MVC has one of the most stringent school bus inspection programs in the country," Harrington said. "Our program combines Department of Education and federal requirements, as well as particular items the MVC feels are important to monitor. It is due to our meticulous inspection process that parents can rest assured that both minor and major defects will be detected."
The School Bus Inspection Unit also performs monthly, unannounced inspections with the New Jersey police department as part of the state's School Bus Task Force to ensure that bus companies and school districts are keeping accurate records and completing regular maintenance on their buses in the months between the MVC's visits.
In 2005, the MVC developed a system on its Website that allows the public to access school bus inspection records. Parents can obtain up to two years worth of inspection data for their child's school bus.
In related news, data compiled for a recent Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey poll suggests that some New Jersey residents are concerned about statewide school bus driver training and school bus maintenance.
According to the poll, about 14 percent of residents felt that all or most buses currently on the road have serious mechanical or maintenance problems. Thirty-five percent felt that some school buses have these problems, while 36 percent said that only a few or none of the buses are in need of repair.
With regard to driver training, 50 percent of respondents agreed that school bus drivers receive enough training to effectively handle traffic and road hazards, while 27 percent disagreed. Moreover, 40 percent of residents felt that bus drivers receive enough training to handle distractions caused by their passengers, while 36 percent of respondents disagreed.
Interestingly, the poll also found that parents whose children take buses to school are less likely than other residents to feel that drivers are adequately trained to deal with road hazards (42 percent agreed, 35 percent disagreed) and distractions (32 percent agreed, 44 percent disagreed).
Over 1,000 New Jersey residents were questioned for the poll, which was conducted via telephone by the Monmouth University Polling Institute in July.

This is the same issue as reported here:
I have a small ajax (multi-page) form. After submit I want to do some post-processing of entered values. Depending on this I want to send a custom confirmation message.
Problem: With ajax turned on, the form gets stuck with the ajax spinner image spinning next to the submit button.
The same 'solution' as in previous mentioned forum topic works here: turn ajax off. But that's not a solution! The previous topic was closed as if it was solved, but the real problem still exists. Please provide a real solution.
I used a (simplified) version of the documentation example code:
add_filter("gform_confirmation_7", "custom_confirmation", 10, 4);
function custom_confirmation($confirmation, $form, $lead, $ajax){
$confirmation = array("redirect" =>"http://www.google.com");
return $confirmation;

Boasting miles and miles of clear white beaches, Goa has long been a holiday destination for those seeking a relaxing sojourn in the Indian sun. But there's more to this former Portuguese colony than merely its impressive scenery. Separated from the rest of the Indian sub-continent by the Western Ghats mountain range, and Deccan Plateau Goa offers curious travelers a different India – with a laidback way of life distinguishable from the other provinces. Visit Goa to witness its crumbling colonial architecture, delectable Portuguese-influenced cuisine and stunning landscapes.
Consult Travel + Leisure's Goa travel guide for a must-do round up of the region.
Things Not to Miss in Goa
• Visit a wildlife sanctuary in Cotigao
• Shop for holiday trinkets at Anjuna flea market
• See the Basilica of Bom Jesus
• Tour the Spice Plantation in Ponda
• Trek to Dudhsagar Waterfalls
When to Go to Goa
The best time to travel to Goa is from November through March when the weather is warm and dry, and temperatures hover at a balmy 88 degrees. The humidity increases during the shoulder season of April and May and some of the local facilities close as the crowds dissipate. June through October marks the monsoon season when humidity is at its highest and thick heavy rain showers form in the afternoon sky. Peak season occurs during the busy Christmas and New Year's period and should be avoided by travelers who don't want to pay double or triple the normal rate.

As usual, Drummond excels at strong yet feminine women while much of the rest of the paranormal romance crowd dwells on either the bitch or the doormat. The story is almost entirely a mix of rapid-fire bickering and foreplay, (which is practically the same thing as Drummond presents them), and as expected is totally hot. Worth the price and then some.

WASHINGTON - The stock market finally found reason to rally Thursday, and Congress promised quick action as the Bush administration prepared a plan to rescue banks from the bad debt at the heart of the worst crisis on Wall Street since the Great Depression.
Details of the plan were still being worked out, but Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson emerged from a nighttime meeting on Capitol Hill to say he hoped to have a solution "aimed right at the heart of this problem."
The rebound also came after an infusion of billions of dollars by the Federal Reserve and world governments aimed at getting nervous banks to stop hoarding money and lend again.
Stocks had fluctuated throughout the day, without severe swings in either direction, until CNBC reported the administration might back a new agency to take bad assets off the books of struggling financial institutions.
But a person with knowledge of the talks told The Associated Press that the idea, patterned after the Resolution Trust Corp. set up in the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis of the 1980s, was not a certainty.
After the discussions Thursday night, Paulson said the goal was to come up with a "comprehensive approach that will require legislation to deal with the illiquid assets on bank balance sheets." He did not provide any details.
The banks still standing are staggering under the weight of billions of dollars of bad loans and mortgage debt arising from the wave of home foreclosures in the United States. Lending has tightened around the world in response.
Paulson, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and other officials planned to work through the weekend on a solution. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that once the administration had presented its proposal, "we hope to move very quickly" to come to an agreement.
Before the sun rose on Wall Street, the Fed said it would boost by as much as $180 billion the amount of cash it would supply to foreign counterparts that are short on dollars. For banks in the United States, the Fed supplied $105 billion in short-term loans later in the day.
But, at least initially, those efforts did little to unfreeze the global credit markets. Banks remained extremely reluctant to lend money.
The No. 2 official at the International Monetary Fund, John Lipsky, said the past few days were "searing manifestations of a financial crisis that has expanded to historic proportions." He predicted the turbulence would continue for "some time to come."
British financial regulators also banned short-selling the stock of financial companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. U.S. regulators tightened rules on short-selling Wednesday.
World banks involved
The Fed said it had authorized the expansion of swap lines to include amounts up to $110 billion for the European Central Bank, up to $27 billion for the Swiss National Bank, $60 billion with the Bank of Japan, $40 billion for the Bank of England and $10 billion for the Bank of Canada.
The credit troubles reverberated around the globe.
Asian stocks closed lower.
European stocks rose but struggled to hold on to the gains.
