In Brief: U.S. factory orders down 1.5 percent in December
U.S. factory orders down 1.5 percent
WASHINGTON -- U.S. manufacturers saw orders for their products decline in December by the largest amount in five months although the setback for a key category that tracks business investment was not as large as first reported.
Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.5 percent in December, the biggest drop since July, with much of the weakness coming from a plunge in aircraft orders, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Orders had risen 1.5 percent in November after a 0.5 percent October decrease.
Orders in a closely watched category that serves as a proxy for business investment declined 0.6 percent, a smaller fall than the 1.3 percent drop estimated in a preliminary report last week.
New report: Budget deficit to drop to $514B
WASHINGTON -- A new report released Tuesday says the government's budget deficit is set to fall to $514 billion for the current year, down substantially from 2013 and the lowest by far since President Barack Obama took office five years ago.
The Congressional Budget Office report credits higher tax revenues from the rebounding economy and sharp curbs on agency spending as the chief reason for the deficit's short-term decline.
But CBO sees the long-term deficit picture worsening by about $100 billion a year through the end of the decade because of slower growth in the economy over the coming decade than it had previously predicted.
2013's deficit registered $680 billion. Obama inherited an economy in crisis and first-ever deficits exceeding $1 trillion. The 2009 deficit, swelled by the costs of the Wall Street bailout, hit a record $1.4 trillion, while the deficits of 2010 and 2011 both registered $1.3 trillion.
Bourbon, whiskey sales up in U.S., overseas
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Global thirst for Kentucky bourbon and Tennessee whiskey caused exports to spike beyond $1 billion for the first time ever in 2013, a distilled spirits trade group said Tuesday.
Mixed together, bourbon and Tennessee whiskey exports grew a projected 5 percent, from $956.8 million in 2012 to just past $1 billion in 2013, the Distilled Spirits Council announced.
Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey revenues shot up even higher at home, rising by a projected 10.2 percent in 2013, the council said.
Their performance overseas drove overall American distilled spirits exports above $1.5 billion, the council said. It marked the fourth straight year of record exports for American-crafted spirits.
Germany's Merkel: Move talks forward
BERLIN -- German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she supports broadening talks soon on Turkey joining the European Union, though she remains skeptical about whether it should be admitted.
Merkel also prodded visiting Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan about judicial independence, addressing concerns raised by the country's handling of a corruption scandal that has targeted people close to the Turkish leader.

Upset: Kulikauskis Strikes Again, Shocks Kalenga
By Alexey Sukachev
With a record of just 12-18-3, 6 KOs, it's hard to believe Arturs Kulikauskis is worth of any notion. Yet, the hard-luck Latvian journeyman just keeps bringing his name into the headlines and for the right reasons. Yesterday, the 22-year old Latvian upset master did it again, scoring a stunning upset over WBA #8 rated cruiserweight Youri Kayembre Kalenga, the first loss in the France-based Congolese's career. Official scores were: 100-93, 100-94 and 99-97, and Kalenga (now 16-1, 10 KOs) was reportedly deducted a point in round one for hitting at the back of the head. The fight was arranged at the Kipsala Exhibition Centre in Riga, Latvia.
Kalenga was mentioned previously as a possible opponent for the highly regarded Pole Mateusz Masternak, who will fight Grigory Drozd of Russian on Oct. 5 instead. The Congolese, meanwhile, was riding high, following a kayo win over 20-0 Georgian Yago Kiladze this June. Kulikauskis, at the same time, scores his second big win this year. In February he outpointed former two-time world title challenger Yuri Barashian (27-5 at the same time) in a non-title six-rounder. Kulikauskis also holds a win over former BBBofC British champion Leon Williams, and he also pushed ex-WBA super middleweight beltholder Dmitry Sartison to the very limit, while losing a spirited MD 8 to the 27-1 German late in 2011.
Dear readers! I am a Latvian citizen and despite my citizenship I am disgusted by this decision. I attended the fight and here's my view of the fight: The Latvian took a real beating from Kalenga through 10 rounds. Kulikauskis…Comment by olezhek008 on 09-20-2013

It is common knowledge that the liver surpasses most, if not all, glandular organs in its power to replace substance lost through disease. The anatomic processes involved in reconstruction of hepatic parenchyma after spontaneous or experimental injury to the liver have been well described by many investigators.1 However, little is known concerning the functional capacity of regenerated hepatic tissue.
A new approach to this important subject was opened by recent progress in tests of renal function, two of which were instrumental in the present contribution to the knowledge of pathologic physiology. The first of these, the rose bengal dye excretion test,2 is based on the selective elimination, via bile channels, of this dye when given intravenously. Retention of rose bengal in the blood above 60 per cent at the end of eight minutes and over 30 per cent after sixteen minutes is indicative of decreased permeability of the

The Paley's Place Cookbookby Kimberly Paley John Valls Vitaly Paley
Nestled in a converted Victorian in Portland's trendy Northwest District, Paley's Place Bistro and Bar has been serving Vitaly Paley's creative, beautifully executed cooking for over a decade. Co-owner Kimberly Paley's joyous hospitality has helped make their restaurant into a West Coast destination. Both Paleys' unquenchable ardor for local, luscious, sustainably produced food and drink means the Paley's Place dining experience just keeps gets better. With characteristic generosity, Vitaly and Kimberly bring their elegant, soulful fare home in The Paley's Place Cookbook. Chapters on appetizers; soups, salads, and sandwiches; pastas and grains; fish and shellfish; meat, game, and fowl; vegetable side dishes; and desserts are complemented by extras, including a primer on putting together a knockout Oregon cheese course and a bevy of recipes for hand-crafted and seasonal cocktails. Wine pairings point the reader to well-matched styles and makers from the Pacific Northwest and France. Teaching the reader to create blissfully perfectdishes from the ground up, whether simple (Grilled Figs Wrapped in Prosciutto; Tomato-Bread Soup) or showy (Duck Wellington with Mole Sauce; Vegetable-Stuffed Morels with Green Garlic Confit and Parmesan Cream), the authors emphasize the building blocks of wonderful food: great ingredients and great technique. Throughout the book, the Paleys introduce us to some of the many skilled food producers who make the Pacific Northwest a culinary treasure trove, and also take us inside the chef's thought process as he creates and refines his recipes. Evocative photographs--of finished dishes, gorgeous local foodstuffs, and the people who produce the food that gives so much pleasure--round out this personal, passionate, enlightening, and utterly delicious cookbook.

"Tactical Media" is a chapter in the book Protocol: How Control Exists After Decentralization (2004) by Alexander Galloway. Galloway's central argument is that the internet is a space of control.
Earlier in the text, Galloway defines protocol as "a set of rules that defines a technical standard. But from a formal perspective, protocol is a type of object. It is a very special kind of object. Protocol is a universal description language for objects. Protocol is a language that regulates flow, directs netspace, codes relationships, and connects life-forms" (p. 74).
Galloway argues that protocol can be interpreted or analyzed just as any other language, because code is the language of computers.
The chapter we are focusing on for this class is called "Tactical Media." In this chapter, Galloway examines instances of online subversion and resistance, which pose challenges to protocol. He characterizes these conflicts as network-based conflicts, or conflicts between different diagrams.
Galloway says tactical media is "the term given to political uses of both new and old technologies, such as the organization of virtual sit-ins, campaigns for more democractic access to the Internet, or even the creation of new software products not aimed at the commercial market" (p. 175).
Computer Viruses
He begins the chapter by examining computer viruses, and uses them as an example to illustrate network-based conflict.
Drawing from computer virus scholar Frederick Cohen, Galloway says "viruses" are computer programs that modify other programs by inserting a version of itself into the new program. All viruses, whether worms, Trojan horses, etc. are characterized as negative.
Galloway argues that the cultural moment that computer viruses arrived in are responsible for this negative characterization. This cultural moment included the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, which explains the biological associations. Galloway charts the shift from biological metaphors (AIDS, infection, virus) to criminal metaphors (terrorism, weaponization, criminals), and argues that these different threat paradigms, AIDS and terrorism, represent different diagrams.
Galloway notes that many virus authors say the virus is not the problem, but the flaws in the affected program are; viruses simply exploit these flaws. Viruses point out other flaws that are not technologically based, like corporate monopolies.
Viruses originated as games for engineers, people who Galloway says prized creativity, technical innovation, and exploration.
Galloway's chapter moves into a discussion of cyberfeminism, a 1990s movement that addressed the relationship between women and machines, and the masculinization of technology. Cyberfeminism became an international movement, but Galloway initially highlights the Australian group VNS Matrix who wrote the first Cyberfeminist Manifesto in the early 90s. Galloway quotes Faith Wilding and the Critical Art Ensemble: "The territory of cyberfeminism is large. It includes [...] those arenas in which technological process is gendered in a manner that excludes women from access to the empowering points of technoculture" (p. 187).
Galloway positions cyberfeminism as another type of tactical media, one that shares functions with computer viruses, or bugs in the protocological network, which can propel technology in interesting ways. He says, "With cyberfeminism, protocol becomes disturbed. Its course is altered and affected by the forces of randomness and corruption" (p. 185).
Another major cyberfeminist theorist that Galloway highlights is Sadie Plant, who argues that technology is fundamentally female, and makes it her project to recover the history of the relationship between women and machines. In her works she notes women's close proximity to machines through history, starting with the loom. She has argued that computer programming actually emerged from the tradition of weaving (Plant, "The Future Looms" 1995); that women have made up the core labour of telecommunications (Plant, Zeros and Ones 1997); and has written extensively about Ada Lovelace and her role as a computer programmer (Plant 1995, 1997; Galloway 2004, p. 185).
Plant argues that this history threatens phallic control and thus technology is a process of emasculation and an opportunity to weaken the patriarchy. According to Galloway, this marks a move from centralized control to a distributed network.
Though cyberfeminism encompasses many strands and perspectives, Galloway says that the themes of body and identity are central to the movement. Theorist Allucquère Rosanne Stone / Sandy Stone in particular examined the relationship between materiality and meaning that constitute bodies in cyberspace. She argued that online spaces mirror our "Cartesian" understanding of physical space. In other words, bodies are still gendered (and subject to other social hierarchies) in cyberspace. (This has also been argued by other scholars, like Lori Kendall [1998].) However, Stone says that since communications technologies help produce online identities, communities, and provide a mode to navigate both of these things together, tactical media like cyberfeminism presents an opportunity to refashion the organization and understanding of space.
The role of the body in cyberfeminism and in cyberspace is fraught, as demonstrated by Lynn Hershmann's claim that the internet prompted the largest immigration in history — from offline to online. Plant argues that it is about reshaping matter, rather than escaping it.
Conflicting Diagrams
Galloway introduces John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt's term "netwar," which refers to "an emerging mode of conflict (and crime) at societal levels, short of traditional military warfare, in which the protagonists use network forms of organization and related doctrines, strategies and technologies attuned to the information age" (p. 196).
Galloway says peer-to-peer, bureaucracy, and hierarchy are all diagrams; peer-to-peer (or distributed network) is the diagram of the internet. Gene Youngblood argues this as well.
Like the rhizome is thought to be a solution to the tree, Galloway argues that viruses and cyberfeminism are network conflicts a solution to hierarchies; network conflicts are essentially conflicts between different social structures or diagrams.
Galloway writes that increasingly, decentralized and distributed networks are being adopted: the internet was invented to avoid "certain vulnerabilities of nuclear attack" (p. 200), and cities are being designed with industrial targets outside of the urban core. In other words, the bomb or threat of destruction drives dispersion. Following this logic, Galloway argues that the internet is strong because it is weak, because its power is distributed or decentralized. Similarly, hierarchies are weak because they are strong, because its power is centralized.
Using these examples: terrorism is the only real threat to state power, homeless punk rockers are the only threats to sedentary domesticity, and the guerilla is the only threat to the war machine, Galloway argues that hierarchies cannot fight networks; only networks can fight networks.
He says "This is indicative of two conflicting diagrams. The first diagram is based on the strategic massing of power and control, while the second diagram is based on the distribution of power into small, autonomous enclaves" (p. 201).
Just as he says this should give subcultures reason to rethink their strategies, he suggests we take this kind of thinking and apply it to media.
Criminal charges can be laid for computer viruses, virtual damages can be assessed, and the advent of cyberspace is said to have sparked the largest immigration in history — from offline to online; how do these notions tangle with Baudrillard's concerns about disappearing space and the ecstasy of communication, but also with Youngblood's call to leave the culture without leaving the country?
What are the limits of using binary code to dismantle hierarchies? Can Plant's argument that as "protocol rises, patriarchy declines" be used for dismantling other social hierarchies, other than gendered ones?
Plant argues that women have traditionally comprised the laboring core of networks of all kinds, particularly the telecommunications networks. When we consider the histories she presents, this is true! Many other forms of women's labour are similarly necessary, yet unseen or unrecognized. How do in/visibility and marginality make this possible? Is there any benefit of being invisible while being at the centre of something so fundamental?
How does tactical media relate to future cinema?
How can tactical media be seen as a solution to the crisis Gene Youngblood describes?

This is the film I mentioned as being of interest to us following Nanna's show-and-tell of her own film.
"Women are the focus but not the object of Trinh T. Minh-ha's influential first film, a complex visual study of the women of rural Senegal. Through a complicity of interaction between film and spectator, REASSEMBLAGE reflects on documentary filmmaking and the ethnographic representation of cultures.
"With uncanny eloquence, REASSEMBLAGE distills sounds and images of Senegalese villagers and their surroundings to reconsider the premises and methods of ethnographic filmmaking. By disjunctive editing and a probing narration this 'documentary' strikingly counterpoints the authoritative stance typical of the National Geographic approach." — Laura Thielan

In his essay "What is Digital Cinema?" Lev Manovich notes that the majority of discussion around digital cinema has focused on the possibilities of narrative interaction. Manovich argues that this focus on narrative only addresses one aspect of cinema, which is neither unique nor essential to the medium.
For Manovich the challenge presented by digital media extends beyond the issue of narrative to the very identity of cinema. With enough time or money anything can be simulated in a computer, reducing the filming of physical reality to just one of many options available to filmmakers.
He invokes French theorist Christopher Metz in noting that most films possess the common characteristic of telling a story, to which Manovich adds most films are live action films consisting unmodified recordings of real events which took place in real physical space.
The development of a whole repertoire of techniques during the history of cinema (lighting, art direction, various film stocks and lenses) are ultimately rooted in attempts to obtain deposits from reality.
What do you think of Manovich's statement in which he refers to Cinema as the "art of the index" an attempt to make art out of a footprint? Does the identity of Cinema lay in its ability to record reality? Does it merely start the film rolling and record whatever happens to be in front of the lens?
Manovich argues that the indexical identity of cinema is challenged by photorealistic computer generated images which are perfectly credible despite never having been filmed. The return to the manual construction of images means that cinema can no longer be distinguished from animation.
Is cinema no longer an indexical media technology, but rather a sub-genre of painting?
Manovich points to the original names by which cinema was referred (kinetoscope, cinematograph, and moving pictures) as indicative of how it was understood, as the art of motion, one which superseded previous techniques for creating and displaying moving images.
These earlier techniques shared several characteristics. They relied on hand-painted or hand-drawn images and they were manually animated.
Robertson's Phantasmagoria
The predecessors of cinema also possessed discrete characteristics of space and movement. The moving element was visually separated from the static background, and was limited in range and affecting only a clearly defined figure rather than the whole image.
Film before Film
All of these animations were based around loops, sequences of images which can be played repeatedly. Advances in technology allowed for the automatic generation of images as well as the automatic projection, allowing for the adoption of longer narrative form.
With the stabilization of cinema technology, Manovich argues that all references were cut to its origins in artifice. The manual construction of images, loop actions, and the discrete nature of space and movement were relegated to animation.
How do elements such as costume, lighting and set design fit into Manovich's notion of "artifice?" Is employment of these cinematic techniques by animators a result of the same technological limitations that had formerly constrained live action film?
Manovich suggests that the opposition between animation and cinema defined the culture of the moving image in the 20th century. Animation is more aligned to the graphic, foregrounding its characters and admitting that its images are merely representation. Cinema attempts to erase any traces of its own production process and is more aligned with the photographic.
Having examined the development of cinema and its precursors Manovich sets out to define digital cinema, which argues follows several principles. Computers can generate film-like physical reality, displacing live action footage as the only possible material from which a film is constructed. Live action footage now functions as raw material for further manipulation, creating a new kind of "elastic reality." Computer technology has collapsed the distinction between editing and special effects, making them part of the same operation.
Manovich's answer to question of defining digital cinema is that it is a "particular case of animation which uses live action footage as one of its many elements. Cinema was born from manual construction and animation of images, animation was pushed to the margins only to reappear as the foundation of digital cinema. Shot footage is but raw material to be manipulated in a computer. Production has become just the first stage of post-production.
The mutability of the digital image means that the cinematic image is no longer locked in the photographic. Hand painted digitized film frames represent a return of cinema to its origins in the hand-crafted images of its precursors.
Commercial narrative cinema continues hold on to its realist style in which images function as photographic records of events. Manovich references Metz analysis made in the 1970's in contemplating the possibility of a greater number of non-narrative films in the future. Manovich gives the examples of the music video and the CD-ROM video game. He argues that video games have followed a similar development path to cinema when faced with some of the same technological limitations, relying on still images and animations, and looped clips. This teleological development replays the emergence of cinema a hundred years earlier, progressing from still images to moving characters over static backgrounds to full motion.
History, Manovich suggests, is not linear march toward one possible language, but a succession of distinct and equally expressive languages, each with its own aesthetic variables. The visual strategies of early multimedia titles may be a result of technological limitations, but it can also be seen as the beginning of digital cinema's new language.
Jean-Louis Boissier's Flora petrinsularis
Flora petrinsularis is an interactive CD-ROM program in which the viewers attempts to generate a narrative creates a loop, a structure which becomes a metaphor for human desire which can never achieve resolution. It can also be read as a comment on cinematic resolution.
Manovich's own "Little Movies" is explicitly modeled after the peep-hole machines of Kinetoscope parlors, drawing a parallel between them and the tiny QuickTime videos of the digital era. Through this work Manovich begins to explore the concept of "spatial montage" between simultaneously co-exiting images. By making images different size and having them appear and disappear in different parts of the screen without any obvious order, Manovich seeks to present the screen as a space of endless possibilities.
Little Movies
In conclusion Manovich argues that the mutability of digital date impairs the value of cinema recordings as documents of reality. Cinematic realism is being displaced from being the dominant mode of moving image culture to become one of only many options.

After raising a reported $4.2 million in 24 hours Monday, Ron Paul brings his long-shot, antiwar campaign for the Republican presidential nomination to Independence Mall tomorrow.
And what an unusual campaign it is.
"It's almost like it's on autopilot, certainly the fund-raising part," the 72-year-old Texas congressman said yesterday, speaking of an effort fueled largely by the Internet.
"It sort of feeds on itself. . . . I'm both pleased and surprised."
Consider that the big money push was the idea of a single supporter, working on his own, who thought that Nov. 5, the anniversary of Guy Fawkes' attempt to blow up the king of England in 1605, would be a fine day for a "fund-raising bomb."

Warrants were issued by Amarillo police for two men wanted in connection with vandalism of local businesses.
The two men are Richard Dwayne Draper, 19, and Benjamin Thomas Cooksey, 18, said Amarillo police Sgt. Randy TenBrink.
Both men have warrants for their arrests for criminal mischief over $1,500 and less than $20,000, a state jail felony.
During the night of Oct. 2 and early morning hours of Oct. 3, both men allegedly shot out approximately 100 windows of businesses and vehicles using B.B. air rifles, TenBrink said. The damage was estimated to be in excess of $25,000.
Tips from Amarillo Crime Stoppers and Student Crime Stoppers led to evidence and the two men, TenBrink said. They were both found in the Texas County Jail in Guymon, Okla.
They were there on unrelated charges, TenBrink said.

Embedding uncertainty into ocean acoustic propagation models (L)117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1855811View Description Hide Description
A probabilistic formalism is proposed for the direct inclusion of environmental uncertainty into an acoustic model that describes propagation in an ocean waveguide. Incomplete environmental knowledge is characterized by a spectral representation of uncertainty using expansions of random processes in terms of orthogonal random polynomials. A brief summary of the method is presented and a set of coupled differential equations describing the propagation of both the acoustic field and its associated uncertainty is derived for the case where the uncertain environment is attributed to a lack of complete information concerning the waveguide's sound speed distribution.
Spectral subtraction-based speech enhancement for cochlear implant patients in background noise117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1852873View Description Hide Description
A single-channel speech enhancement algorithm utilizing speech pause detection and nonlinear spectral subtraction is proposed for cochlear implant patients in the present study. The spectral subtraction algorithm estimates the short-time spectral magnitude of speech by subtracting the estimated noise spectral magnitude from the noisy speech spectral magnitude. The artifacts produced by spectral subtraction (such as "musical noise") were significantly reduced by combining variance-reduced gain function and spectral flooring. Sentence recognition by seven cochlear implant subjects was tested under different noisy listening conditions (speech-shaped noise and 6-talker speech babble at +9, +6, +3, and 0 dB SNR) with and without the speech enhancement algorithm. For speech-shaped noise, performance for all subjects at all SNRs was significantly improved by the speech enhancement algorithm; for speech babble, performance was only modestly improved. The results suggest that the proposed speech enhancement algorithm may be beneficial for implant users in noisy listening.
A beamforming video recorder for integrated observations of dolphin behavior and vocalizations (L)117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1831284View Description Hide Description
In this Letter we describe a beamforming video recorder consisting of a video camera at the center of a 16 hydrophone array. A broadband frequency-domain beamforming algorithm is used to estimate the azimuth and elevation of each detectedsound. These estimates are used to generate a visual cue indicating the location of the sound source within the video recording, which is synchronized to the acoustic data. The system provided accurate results in both lab calibrations and a field test. The system allows researchers to correlate the acoustic and physical behaviors of marine mammals during studies of social interactions.

An efficient method for evaluating diffuse field joint acceptance functions for cylindrical and truncated conical geometries117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1850368View Description Hide Description
The evaluation of the response of elastic structures subjected to distributed random excitations is usually performed in the modal space. Random excitations (like acoustic diffuse fields) are usually modeled as weakly stationary random processes and are assumed to be homogeneous. Their characterization basically relies on the power spectral density (PSD) function of the pressure at a particular reference position and a suitable spatialcorrelation function. In the modal space, the distributed random excitation is characterized by a modal PSD matrix made from the joint acceptance functions related to the mode pairs. The joint acceptance function is a double surface integral involving the product of the considered mode shapes and the spatialcorrelation function. The paper shows how to evaluate efficiently this quadruple integral for cylindrical and truncated conical structures excited by an acoustic diffuse field. Basically, the procedure relies on the derivation of alternative expressions for the spatialcorrelation function. The related expressions prove to be more convenient for these geometries and are leading to a reduction of the double surface integral to a combination of simple integrals. A very substantial breakdown of the computational cost can be achieved using the resulting expressions.
Radiative transfer theory for high-frequency power flows in fluid-saturated, poro-visco-elastic media117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1856271View Description Hide Description
Some recent mathematical results are used to study the propagation features of the high-frequency vibrational energy density in three-dimensional fluid-saturated, isotropic poro-visco-elastic media. The theory of high-frequency asymptotics of the solutions of hyperbolic partial differential equations shows that their energy satisfies Liouville-type transport or radiative transferequations for randomly heterogeneous materials. For long propagation times these equations can be approached by diffusionequations. The corresponding diffusion parameters—mean-free paths and diffusion constants—associated with Biot's linear model for such media, are derived. The analysis accounts for the thermal and viscous memory effects of the fluid phase, and the viscous memory effect of the solid phase through time convolution operators. In this respect it also extends the existing mathematical results.

Distribution of wave packet sizes in microbarom wave trains observed in Alaska117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1854651View Description Hide Description
This work reports on a study of the distribution of wave packet sizes contained in intervals of continuous microbarom activity. Microbaroms are a class of atmospheric infrasound that is characterized by narrow-band, nearly sinusoidal, waveforms with periods near 5 s. They are known to be generated by marine storms, presumably through a nonlinear interaction of surface waves, however the detailed analysis of the process is still incomplete. The data analyzed were obtained using the University of Alaska infrasound array of four microphones located in central Alaska. Because of the narrow-band feature of the microbarom signals, the Hilbert transform is applicable as a method for finding phase breaks in the signal. The phase breaks are interpreted as the demarcation of the boundaries of wave packets. When applied to long sequences of microbaroms a broad distribution of packet lengths is found that diminishes monotonically with length and has a mean near 10 cycles and a variance nearly as large. The distribution function decreases exponentially with packet length. The distribution of packet sizes is influenced by the presence of multiple sources and multiple propagation paths between the sources and the sensor array. Identification of individual packets should open the way to a more detailed analysis of microbarom wave trains. After separating the wave train into individual wavelets the intermicrophone correlation is estimated as a function of microphone separation. As has been observed in earlier microbarom studies, a decrease in correlation was observed for microphone pairs orthogonal to the direction of propagation when compared to correlations between microphones spaced along the direction of wave propagation.

Observations of intensity fluctuations for broadband, 400-Hz multipath arrivals observed during the 1996 New England shelfbreak PRIMER study are described. Acoustic signals were generated by two bottom-mounted sources located on the continental slope in roughly 290-m water depth and were received on a 52-m-long vertical-line-array (VLA) located in 93-m water depth. Propagation ranges were 42.2 and 59.6 km. The bathymetry,oceanography, and bottom geology of the PRIMER site are described. Acoustic observables of point intensity, peak intensity, and integrated energy over the VLA are treated in terms of the scintillation index, log-intensity variance, and intensity probability density functions(PDFs). Variability of the observables are decomposed into high and low frequency components with time scales less than and greater than 2 h, to facilitate correlation to ocean processes at different timescales. Parabolic equation numerical simulations using a quasi-random undular tidal bore model are able to reproduce many of the observed intensity fluctuation to within a factor of 2, and they allow investigation of scintillation behavior as a function of range.
Numerical study of broadband sound pulse propagation in three-dimensional oceanic waveguides117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1855791View Description Hide Description
In this paper, the propagation of a broadband sound pulse in three-dimensional (3D) shallow water waveguides is investigated numerically. Two cases are examined: (i) the 3D ASA benchmark wedge, and (ii) the 3D Gaussian canyon. The numerical method used to solve the four-dimensional acoustic problem is based on a Fourier synthesis technique. The frequency-domain calculations are carried out using the fully 3D parabolic equation based model 3DWAPE, recently modified to include a wide-angle paraxial approximation for the azimuthal component. A broadband sound pulse with a central frequency of 25 Hz and a bandwith of 40 Hz is considered. For both test cases, 3D results corresponding to a 25 Hz cw point source are first presented and compared with predictions from a 3D adiabatic modal model. Then, the acoustic problem is solved considering the broadband source pulse. The modal structure of the received signals is analyzed and exhibits multiple mode arrivals of the propagating signal.
Effect of realistic grounds and atmospheric conditions on single-channel active control of outdoor sound propagation117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1859231View Description Hide Description
Engine run-up tests are a part of routine aircraft maintenance at the Vancouver International Airport. A source of noise complaints is the Dash-8 aircraft, which emits low-frequency, tonal noise.Active noise control is a potentially cost-effective alternative to passive noise-control methods, which are ineffective at controlling low-frequency noise. Since the run-up tests are performed outdoors, the effects of outdoor conditions on the performance of an active control system must be considered. In this paper, the results of a preliminary investigation of the effects of realistic meteorological conditions and ground impedance on the performance of a single-channel active-control system are presented. Computer simulations of single-channel active control of a monopole source were performed using the Green's-function parabolic-equation method. Different realistic atmospheric conditions, and reflective or soft ground, were used in the simulations. The results show that atmospheric refraction causes fluctuations in the noise attenuation achieved by a single-channel control system, and has the overall effect of decreasing its performance, making the system ineffective in some cases.

Reflection and transmission by randomly spaced elastic cylinders in a fluid slab-like region117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1848174View Description Hide Description
An extension of Fikioris and Waterman's formalism is developed in order to describe both the reflection and transmission from a slab-like fluid region in which elastic cylindrical scatterers are randomly placed. The dispersion equation of the coherent wave inside the slab must be solved numerically. For solid cylinders, there is only one solution corresponding to a mean free path of the coherent wave larger than one wavelength. In that case, the slab region may be described as an effective dissipative fluid medium, and its reflection and transmission coefficients may be formally written as those of a fluid plate. For thin hollow shells, a second solution of the dispersion equation is found, at concentrations large enough for the shells to be coupled via the radiation of a circumferential Scholte–Stoneley Awave on each shell. This occurs at a few resonance frequencies of the shells. At those frequencies, then, two different coherent waves propagate in the slab, and it can no longer be considered a dissipating fluid slab.
Material property measurement using the quasi-Scholte mode—A waveguide sensor117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1841631View Description Hide Description
In the food industry and other industries, rheological measurements and determination of particle sizes in suspensions and emulsions is of great importance for process and quality control. Current test cell based ultrasonic methods exist but are often inconvenient. An attractive alternative could be to insert a simple measurement "dipstick" into the fluid; this paper presents an initial study of the feasibility of using measurements of the velocity and attenuation of the quasi-Scholte mode on a plate to obtain the longitudinal velocity and attenuation of an embedding medium. The attenuation of the quasi-Scholte mode is caused by two mechanisms: shear leakage and attenuation due to the bulk longitudinal attenuation of the embedding material. In a calibration test the bulk longitudinal velocity and viscosity of glycerol were determined experimentally. Measurements agreed well with results from conventional methods and literature data. Quantitative results and an independent validation for honey, a very viscous fluid, are also presented. For Newtonian liquids like glycerol and honey, the shear leakage and longitudinal bulk attenuation are both related to viscosity. To demonstrate the sensitivity to nonviscous attenuation mechanisms, qualitative measurement results on fluids that mainly exhibit attenuation due to scattering are presented.
Finite elements methods for modeling the guided waves propagation in structures with weak interfaces117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1841731View Description Hide Description
This paper describes two methods using a finite element(FE) code for modeling the effects of weak interfaces on the propagation of low-order Lamb modes. The variable properties of the interfaces are modeled by either a thin layer or a uniform repartition of compression and shear springs that insure the continuity of the stresses and impose a discontinuity in the displacement field. The method is tested by comparison with measurements that were presented in a previous paper [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 113(6) 3161–3170 (2003)]. The interface was the contact between a rough elastomer with high internal damping loaded against one surface of a glass plate. Both normal and shear stiffnesses of the interface were quantified from the attenuation of and Lamb waves caused by leakage of energy from the plate into the elastomer and measured at each step of a compressive loading. The FE model is made in the frequency domain, thus allowing the viscoelastic properties of the elastomer to be modeled by using complex moduli as input data. By introducing the interface stiffnesses in the code, the predicted guided wavesattenuations are compared to the experimental results to validate the numerical FE methods.
Frequency dependence of elastic properties of acoustic foams117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1857527View Description Hide Description
Polyurethane (PU) and other plastic foams are widely used as passive acoustic absorbers. For optimal design, it is often necessary to know the viscoelasticproperties of these materials in the frequency range relevant to their application. A nonresonance technique (dynamic stiffness) based on a forced vibrations procedure is used to investigate the frequency dependent complex shear modulus of a PU foam. This modulus is first measured, in a quasistatic configuration, in the frequency range (0.016–16 Hz) at different temperatures between 0 and 20 °C. It is afterwards predicted over a wide frequency range (0.01–3000 Hz) using the frequency-temperature superposition principle. The validation of this principle is discussed through quasistatic experiments. Under the assumption that Poisson's ratio of polymericfoams is real and frequency independent on the frequency range used, the frequency dependence of the complex shear modulus obtained is used to predict the complex stiffness of the acoustic foam on a wide frequency range.
Use of a curved reflector to amplify ultrasonic standing waves in an air-filled channel117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1858171View Description Hide Description
The application of a slightly curved reflector to increase the amplitude of an ultrasonic standing wave in a semi-infinite rectangular channel was explored. Air was assumed to be the acoustic medium in the channel. Excitation of the standing wave was assumed to be provided by a square transducer flush-mounted to one wall of the channel. A slight curvature was placed in the reflecting wall of the channel. A finite element analysis was used to predict the amplitude of the standing wave that would be excited in the channel. A perfectly matched layer was used to model the semi-infinite channel geometry. At frequencies near 50 kHz, for source ranging from 6.6 to 26.6, and channel depths necessary to excite standing waves at one-half and one wavelength resonance, the computations predicted that an increase in acoustic pressure amplitude from 2 to 11 dB could be achieved with a reflector whose depth of curvature was 16% of the channel depth. Much of this increase could be obtained with curvatures of smaller depth. Experiments with a channel and reflector of representative geometry gave a measured increase in acoustic pressure amplitude of 4.86 dB.

The effect of flow-induced coupling on sound radiation from convected fluid loaded plates117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1852894View Description Hide Description
Recent investigations concerning the effects of fluid convection on structural acoustic radiation have noted that radiation efficiency increases with increasing flow speeds. However, most of these studies based this conclusion on simulations that neglected flow-induced structural mode coupling. Yet, flow-induced coupling is know to have dramatic effects on structural dynamics including static and dynamic instabilities, and should therefore be expected to significantly affect sound radiation. The purpose of this investigation is to quantify the effects that fluid flow has on the sound radiated from rectangular vibrating plates when flow-induced structural modal coupling is considered. The discussion includes a description of the fundamental physics associated with a simply supported, vibrating, rectangular plate imbedded in an infinite baffle and radiating into a semi-infinite, convected fluid. This is followed by a discussion of the effect that flow-induced coupling has on the structural dynamic behavior. Finally, numerical results are presented that demonstrate the effect that such coupling has on the sound power radiated from a plate.

Full-scale measurements for noise transmission in tunnels117(2005); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1859251View Description Hide Description
In many previous studies, energy-based methods are used to predict the attenuation of sound in long tunnels. However, these models do not address the interference effects of the sound fieldsgenerated by all image sources. A numerical model has been developed, in which the total sound field is computed by summing contributions from all image sources coherently. This numerical model also incorporates a correction term for calculating the atmospheric absorption of sound in air. To validate the numerical models in practical situations, two road traffic tunnels have been chosen for extensive measurements. The levels of the transmitted noise have been recorded in one-third octave band frequencies at various separations up to a maximum of 400 m. The predictions using the coherent model agree reasonably well with the measured data at all frequencies. The agreements between the field data and the theoretical predictions using the energy-based model are tolerable at high frequency, but less so at low frequency. In most cases, the predictions of the coherent model give the best results, with an accuracy to within 3 dB. On the other hand, the energy-based models are not able to predict the peaks and dips across the frequency spectra, the variance with the measurement results being up to 7 dB at low-frequency bands.

Summary of Delaware's Foreclosure Laws
If you are facing foreclosure in Delaware, it's important to understand some of the basics, including:
- the most common type of foreclosure procedure (judicial v. nonjudicial) used in Delaware
- how much time you have to respond
- your rights and protections in the process, and
- what happens afterwards (for example, whether you'll be liable for a deficiency judgment).
Below we have outlined some of the most important features of Delaware foreclosure law. Keep in mind that this is just a summary; we've included statute citations so you can get more details from the laws themselves. And be sure to check out Nolo's extensive Foreclosure section, where you can find information about all aspects of foreclosure, definitions of foreclosure terms (like redemption and reinstatement), and options to avoid foreclosure.
If the home is an owner-occupied residential property that is one to four units, the foreclosing party must mail the borrower a 45-day notice of intent to foreclose before starting the foreclosure lawsuit. Borrower has 20 days to respond to lawsuit. Foreclosing party must include a mediation notice with complaint. After court grants a judgment of foreclosure, borrower gets a ten-day notice of sale. Notice of sale must also be posted publicly and published in a newspaper for two weeks prior to sale.
Not available (except as permitted by the terms of the mortgage)
Available until court confirms sale
May be obtained by filing a separate lawsuit after a court has issued a foreclosure judgment
$500 if head of family
Eviction of former homeowner may be continued as part of the foreclosure action
Del. Code Ann. tit. 10, Chapter 49, §§ 5061 through 5067

I bought a copy of Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft when it first came out eleven years ago. It's an interesting sort of book - part memoir (pretty much to the point of being a personal exposé), part inspiration, part nuts & bolts writing advice, filled with the sort of humor you'd expect from Stephen King (if you've read enough of his work or have heard him speak, that is, and know better to expect only thrills and chills from his work).
Part of his memoir was included in Guys Write for Guys Read, an anthology previously reviewed here. That excerpt from On Writing is a painfully funny story about a babysitter named "Eula, or maybe she was Beaulah. She was a teenager, she was as big as a house, and she laughed a lot. Eula-Beulah had a wonderful sense of humor, even at four I could recognize that, but it was a dangerous sense of humor . . ." King relates a series of horrible-yet-funny stories involving this particular babysitter, including that "Eula-Beulah was prone to farts--the kind that are both loud and smelly. Sometimes when she was so afflicted, she would throw me on the couch, drop her wool-skirted butt on my face, and let loose. 'Pow!' she'd cry in high glee."
King discusses his history, including the highs (actual as well as metaphorical) and lows (again, actual as well as metaphorical), from starting out writing as a teen to wide publication to addiction to the accident that nearly killed him. (For those not familiar with his history, King was struck by a car while walking along the side of the road.)
And then, he turns to the subject of writing, providing guidance in one of the most cogent, useful ways of describing "What Writing Is" that I've ever had the privilege to read.
What Writing IsThe book includes a "toolbox" - things that writers need, such as grammar, followed by what King refers to as "the heart of the book": the section called "On Writing", in which Stephen King shares everything he knows about how to write good fiction. And then he presents the start of a short story ("The Hotel Story") that began as an exercise for this book, but eventually became the much-anthologized "Room 1408" (which itself became a movie).
Telepathy, of course. It's amusing when you stop to think about it--for years people have argued about whether or not such a thing exists, folks like J. B. Rhine have busted their brains trying to create a valid testing process to isolate it, and all the time it's been right there, lying out in the open like Mr. Poe's Purloined Letter. All the arts depend upon telepathy to some degree, but I believe that writing offers the purest distillation. Perhaps I'm prejudiced, but even if I am we may as well stick with writing, since it's what we came here to think and talk about.
* * *
Look--here's a table covered with a red cloth. On it is a cage the size of a small fish aquarium. In the cage is a white rabbit with a pink nose and pink-rimmed eyes. In its front paws is a carrot-stub upon which it is contentedly munching. On its back, clearly marked in blue ink, is the numeral 8.
Do we see the same thing? We'd have to get together and compare notes to make absolutely sure, but I think we do.
Highly recommended for people who are interested in Stephen King, in good writing, in improving their own writing or becoming a writer. And widely available in various editions suitable for holiday gift-giving, including ebook editions.
