Bells rang out in memory of those lost on 9/11 at a rededication ceremony in Chapel Hill on Wednesday for the sculpture that sits at the edge of the Chapel Hill Fire Station on Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard.
"As I look at the sculpture, I see heroism, teamwork, connectivity, history, perseverance and community," said fire chief Matt Sullivan. He spoke at the outdoor ceremony that took place beside the sculpture.
Its name is Promethean Honor Guard. And it was made 15 years ago by sculptor Mike Roig. Roig says he was inspired to create it after 9/11, and he began spending a lot of time with the Chapel Hill Fire Department so that he could be sure to capture the true spirit of a firefighter.
"The thing that's really apparent about the firehouse culture is that it's a team of people that work together."
Promethean Honor Guard was originally installed outside the fire station on Bennett Road, but was moved to its new home so that it could be more easily viewed by the public. Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger also spoke at the ceremony and says she hopes to see more emphasis placed on art by the town.
"I want to see us do more with art. I think art is an integral part of our community"
Roig says he's glad his work made a difference, even over a decade later.
"Fifteen years later, I've made hundreds of sculptures and made a lot of public sculptures, but this was the first."
Promethean Honor Guard is now permanently installed outside fire station number one, honoring in particular the men and women of the CHFD.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/sculpture-outside-chapel-hill-fire-state-rededicated-ahead-of-911-anniversary
After serving the fire department as the interim fire chief for over a year, Matt Sullivan knows the department is more than just him.
"This is definitely not about Matt Sullivan but this is about a group of tremendously talented people at the Chapel Hill Fire Department who have always served the community with excellence," Sullivan said.
Removing the word 'interim' from his position, Sullivan said the change in title will reflect a change in the department.
"I think a lot of times when folks looked at interim, they thought that interim signified a future change," Sullivan said. "And what I'd like to convey to our employees is that we're going to make this change and that change sets us up for the future."
Sullivan said he's looking at a future that will adapt to new developments, types of buildings and the increasing density of the population. Sullivan said the solutions to these problems will come with teamwork.
"I'm not sure I'm smart enough to have all those answers, but I do know that I've got talented folks in the department and in this community who can help us with those answers."
Sullivan has worn many hats throughout his career, giving him a unique perspective on how different departments work together.
"I actually started as a police officer, fire fighter, EMT. In 1988 I started as a public safety officer in the public safety system, and then when the police department and the fire department split, I stayed on the police side for about seven years."
He earned a masters degree in social work, worked at UNC as the coordinator for substance abuse programs and eventually returned to the police force as a police social worker in the police Crisis Unit.
"I spent some time in the police department doing the victim's work, went to law school as part of a mid life crisis, served as a police attorney, and then the took the emergency management position here at the fire department."
That mid-life crisis law degree eventually pointed him back to his true calling.
"I don't regret that step in my life at all. It was definitely a learning experience but I found this sort of role and this sort of work to be much more rewarding."
Pursing his passion for service, Sullivan said his time leading the fire department will focus on utilizing the strengths of his team.
"I've had a lot of employees come up with some really great ideas, so in town we want to be creative and innovative and look to how we can improve our efficiencies in services to the town," Sullivan said. "So to have the swell of support from employees has been really encouraging to me."
Sullivan says he wants to reach out to all areas of the community to better solve problems and work through feedback.
"This community is changing shape and as we continue to grow and things change, our services have to change too. So we are in a position to engage not only our employees but other town departments, citizens and all of our stake holders in a conversation about what this looks like.
Sullivan's duties also include developing collaborative, innovative leadership for the future, retaining the current staff and attracting new talent.http://chapelboro.com/featured/new-chapel-hill-fire-chief-matt-sullivan-discusses-his-plans-for-the-position
Matt Sullivan was named Chapel Hill's new Fire Chief after serving as the interim chief since May of 2015.
Town manager Roger Stancil sent an email to the town council announcing Sullivan's promotion, saying he has "ably demonstrated his skills and qualifications for this position of leadership."
"I want to send a strong message that Matt has my full confidence as the leader of our Fire Department," Stancil wrote. "He meets my leadership interests in a Chief."
Stancil also wrote that Sullivan has become a key member of the Town's leadership team, citing his understanding of fire service, experience with Town operations and understanding of their Vision and Values, as important qualities Sullivan will bring to the position.
During his tenure, Chief Sullivan will be expected to complete a departmental strategic planning process for the future, establish an effective organizational structure, as well as establish a facilities improvement plan.
Stancil wrote that other responsibilities will include developing collaborative, innovative leadership for the future, retain the current staff and attract new talent.
"As we move forward with our strategic planning effort for the future and with addressing current operational and staffing decisions, he needs your support. I need for you to see him as your leader without reservation," Stancil wrote.http://chapelboro.com/featured/matt-sullivan-named-new-chapel-hill-fire-chief
Firefighters are pretty much experts when it comes to teaching fire safety. But math and science might be some of their lesser known skills.
"The general population, doesn't think of firefights as being mathematicians or scientist or engineers," said Stephanie Halpin, the STEM Coordinator for Granville County Schools.
She coordinated with the Chapel Hill Fire Department and the Chapel Hill Public Library to host "Sci Why," an interactive event to teach kids about the science, technology and math behind firefighting.
"Science, technology, engineering and math is what STEM stands for and there's so much of that in firefighting but most people don't make that connection," Halpin said.
A group of twenty firefighters hosted the three-hour event where they taught kids about the equipment they carry and different ways to put out fires. The four hands-on stations emphasized the science and math behind their job, discussing equations, molecular structures and new technology that are all part of firefighting.
"We had two learning goals," Halpin said. "One was fire safety, obviously. The other one was to help students make connections to science and math in their daily lives."
Yan Kong brought her daughter to the event because she said she wanted to encourage an interest in science and math.
"Sometimes they think boys like cars and girls like dolls but I don't think so," Kong said. "I think everyone should be able to learn with anything for their future life."
Dawn Towery brought her two sons to the event for a similar reason.
"We love the library, we love firefighters and we like science and math and technology, so we thought it'd be a great afternoon activity," Towery said.
Her 10-year-old son Ian said he was curious about the science behind fires.
"I'm hoping to learn more about smoke because I know about particles and atoms but I don't know much about smoke. So I want to know more."
But Ian had other motives for learning about fire safety, too.
"In video games I like to set things on fire and then I have to put it out."
"So maybe this firefighting class will help you with your video games?"
"Yes, by helping me find the source of the fire."
The event included some experiments with household items.
"What we have here is regular water and some regular cooking oil that your parents might use," explained a group of firefighters. "And what we're trying to figure out, is if we pour this blue water onto the cooking oil, will it go to the bottom or stay on top of the oil?"
The kids watched the water filter down to the bottom of the cup, leading to a discussion about mass and density.
At a different station, children learned about the clothes fire fighters wear, and the science behind their protective qualities. Eleven-year-old Gill Corbett put on one of the firemen's coats, which he said was the highlight of his day.
"My favorite part was when I tried on the coat. It was really heavy but still pretty cozy."
His reaction was exactly what Halpin was looking for.
"I hope it gives them some excitement about learning," Halpin said. "And I hope they can see some leadership in the community with some of the positive role models that are here."
Halpin said she hopes to partner with the fire department again, much to Gill's delight. When asked if he'd come back, he responded with a hearty…
"Definitely! Oh definitely."http://chapelboro.com/featured/chapel-hill-kids-learn-the-science-behind-firefighting
You will very likely see fire hydrants spraying out water in Chapel Hill throughout the month of May. But don't worry; it's all normal maintenance.
A release from the fire department said all fire hydrants will be tested during this maintenance period to ensure they are operable and producing the required amount of what for when they are needed.
If you observe a hydrant that is out of service or experiencing problems, you are asked to contact Orange Water and Sewer Authority at (919) 537-4343.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding fire crews in your area, you can call the department at (919) 969-2010 to speak with the on-duty Battalion Chief.http://chapelboro.com/news/news-around-town/maintenance-performed-chapel-hill-fire-hydrants
The Town of Chapel Hill has received a 1.4 million dollar offer from the State Employee's Credit Union to buy the property on Weaver Dairy Road that currently houses Fire Station No. 4.
Town manager Roger Stancil said the station is one of three the town needs to consider replacing.
"This is the opportunity to replace an aging facility," he said. "It would require us to relocate Fire Staton No. 4."
The council did not authorize Stancil to move forward with the sale, but did authorize him to come up with a recommendation about how to handle a possible sale and the options for relocating the station.
"If people haven't been in the fire station, don't understand the condition we ask our public safety people to live in and work in," councilman George Cianciolo said. "I think it'll be an eye-opener."
But the $1.4 million, which is the town's estimated value of the property, will not be nearly enough to cover the cost of a new fire facility.
According to Stancil, the cost to relocate the station would be around $2.9 million, excluding the cost of any land leased or purchased.
Fire Station No. 4 is also home to training facilities, which is estimated to cost $7 million to relocate.
"You could decide once we come back that you want to rebuild a fire station on that site," Stancil said. "What motivates us is that we need to replace this fire station. Is there a way to do that and save the taxpayers money?"
The town will continue to listen to offers for the property, as well as evaluate potential new locations for the station.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/chapel-hill-receives-offer-to-purchase-fire-station-property
Multiple lanes were closed on Franklin St and Church St. The two east-bound lanes on W Franklin St were blocked. East-bound motorists were able to get by the area in the center-turn lane.
Emergency crews were on the scene. The Chapel Hill Fire Department had units dispatched and asked people to use caution in the area.
Earlier this week, fire crews contained a gas leak in the same area, which is near the Carolina Square construction site.

The Chapel Hill Town Council unanimously agreed to allow the town to sell the property that currently houses Fire Station 2 on South Hamilton Road.
East-West Partners has proposed to buy the property for $1.7 million and lease it back to the town.
That money would be used to build a new station on the property and East-West Partners would also build a two-story office building and a parking deck.
"The proposed agreement would allow the town to acquire a brand new fire station that would meet our needs into the future for $750,000," town manager Roger Stancil said. "It's a 500-year lease and the property would go on the tax books."
The property is currently untaxed and Stancil estimated this would add $42,000 annually to the budget.
Without this deal, renovation of the new fire station is estimated to be nearly $3 million.
Interim Fire Chief Matthew Sullivan said the new station will be able to house two trucks and the EMS unit that Orange County EMS has said it is interested in co-locating at the station.
"Given the condition of our Station 3 property and the crowding issues there, as well as the strategic location of Station 2, it's our intention to move the ladder truck to the new fire station immediately when it opens," he said.
The town will lease the property for the next 500 years and will pay $1 in rent per year.
"One of our citizens said 'why are we not leasing the land, why are we selling the land,'" said councilwoman Donna Bell. "We're getting a new station and that land underneath it, short of, you know, martians, is kind of ours."
Mayor Pam Hemminger was also in favor of the sale.
"I'm very excited about this," she said. "I'm not normally excited about selling town property or trading town property but we do get basically a $3 million station for $750,000."
When renovation begins, UNC has agreed to house the crew currently at Station 2 at an old fraternity house near Finley Golf Course.
Stancil said the town also has two other fire stations that need renovation and already have proposals to buy those lots, but wanted to start with Station 2 before moving forward on to the others.http://chapelboro.com/featured/chapel-hill-looks-to-sell-fire-station-property
Matt Sullivan will stay on as Chapel Hill's interim fire chief for at least the next year and a half.
In a memo to council members, Town Manager Roger Stancil wrote that the fire department needs to take time to plan for the future before hiring a new leader.
Sullivan, who has served as interim chief since Dan Jones stepped down in May, will continue in his role for 18 to 24 months while revising the department's strategic plan.
Stancil says the future of the department will likely involve greater collaboration with other municipalities and community partners.http://chapelboro.com/news/safety/sullivan-to-lead-chapel-hill-fire-department-through-strategic-planning-process
After decades of public service, longtime Chapel Hill Fire Chief Dan Jones will be stepping down this spring.
"After 41 years in the fire service (and) 25 years in Chapel Hill, my wife and I decided that it's time to end my career in the uniformed fire service," he says. "I let the town manager know (Wednesday) that I intend to retire in May."
He's spent his entire life in public service, leading the Chapel Hill Fire Department through a long period of transition. When he took office in 1990, he says the CHFD didn't provide much more than fire service – but now it also provides emergency medical service, rescue services, and more.
"We've come a long way," he says. "The one thing that I have the most mixed emotions about is the people that I work here with – (they're) really, really good folks, very dedicated and very committed to the fire service and the citizens they protect. I'll miss the daily interaction with those folks."
Along the way, Chief Jones and his team faced a number of serious challenges – perhaps most notably a tragic fire in 1996 at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, which killed five students but also led to significant policy changes for new developments that have made our community (and others) much safer.
"That was a horrible tragedy," Jones says, "but a lot of good came out of it – sprinkler systems in student housing, not only here in Chapel Hill but (also) in other parts of the country – and I felt good about the fact that we were able to turn that tragedy into a lot of positive things."
Chapel Hill Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt says Chief Jones will leave a tremendous legacy – not just with the fire department, but with Chapel Hill town government in general.
"He's the longest serving fire chief this city's ever had, (and) he's seen us through some really tough, challenging times," Kleinschmidt says. "His fingerprints are over a lot of things – not just the fire department, but (also) the management style of the rest of our organization…
"He got us through a recession – when other cities were losing or laying off firefighters, he was able to manage one of our town's largest departments through that difficult time, doing things that no other fire chief in this whole state has ever done. He's going to be hard to replace."
Kleinschmidt says Chief Jones will be missed – but he also says the chief's influence will be felt for years to come.
"He really has trained up a generation of extraordinary servants that have come through our fire department…and who will owe their careers to him," Kleinschmidt says. "And he's taught me a lot as well."
Chief Jones says he won't be leaving town anytime soon: his family is all here and Chapel Hill is home. But he says there's one local community staple that he will miss.
"You know, one of the things I'm going to miss the most when I retire is not (being able to) listen to Ron Stutts every morning driving in to work," he says.
Chief Dan Jones is expected to step down on May 1.http://chapelboro.com/news/local-government/longtime-chapel-hill-fire-chief-dan-jones-retire-may

FUNCTIONAL IMAGING STUDIES levitra or cialis SMA-proper (Iacoboni, 1996). An additional area of the medial wall of the frontal lobe that showed blood flow changes related to contextual interference effect is in the cingulate cortex, which is discussed in the following section. Then motor control disturbances in the left hand are likely to appear, if the motor areas of the right hemisphere that control the left hand do not receive inputs on sequential control of movements from the right SMA because of a callosal disconnection.
The evidence for a differential role of the left and right SMA in sequential control of movements, at least in right-handers, might also explain why strategically placed callosal lesions producing motor disconnection tend to be associated with alien hand syndrome in the nondominant hand, but not in the dominant hand in right-handers (Geschwind et al., 1995). In other words, the left SMA-proper seems to be more sensitive to contextual interference than the right SMAproper, which might suggest that the differential contextual effect observed in patients with left and right SMA lesions occurs more specifically at the level of the SMA-proper. Furthermore, patients with left SMA lesions are more disturbed in the chronology of memoryguided saccade sequences than patients with right SMA lesions (Gaymad, Rivaud, & Pierrot-Deseilligny, 1994).
We propose that this pathophysiological mechanism might be a unitary mechanism of praxis disturbances following callosal lesions (for a brief review, see Gonzalez-Rothi, Raade, & Heilman, 1995).

49. Make Your Own Wine in Napa Valley
As for pure quaintness, what on Earth could be more charming (and maybe romantic?) than making your own wine from super-fresh grapes in the capitol of vineyards and wineries in the U.S.? Enter Napa Valley, California: Home to many of the most prestigious, independently-owned wineries, winery boutiques (e.g. Robert Mondavi), and vineyards (Duckhorn Vineyards) in the U.S. At the Brooklyn Urban Winery and Winemaking Center, visitors get to collaborate with a real winemaker, press their own grapes, custom label and and bottle it, and even go on a wine sampling extravaganza. Should you go overboard with the 'sampling', though, better have a designated driver!
50. Learn to Juggle
Everyone's gotta have at least one basically-useless-but entertaining-nonetheless skill! But is juggling really 'useless'? Nope! Research has shown it to significantly improve essential motor skills in youths and adults, including improved focus, concentration, hand-eye coordination, reflexes and boosted self-confidence. Now, it's best to use oranges, apples, or other small, spherical objects, rather than the likes of knives (ouch!) or chainsaws (you really wanna die, don't ya?) that you may have seen idiots on YouTube attempt —lest the completing of your bucket list comes to a very painful (or worse) halt.

The SS Yongala was a passenger ship in 1911 that crashed and sunk (taking 122 unfortunate passengers with her) in 1911 just south of Townsville, Queensland, Australia—suffering the same fate as the Titanic that year, but garnering hardly ANY of the publicity as the latter. Now, the SS Yongala serves as a popular scuba diver destination. Over 10,000 sport and professional divers visit her annually. And considering that the Titanic will likely never be available for sightseeing by the public—due to its extreme depth in the Atlantic—the SS Yongala is definitely the next best option.
52. Get a Deep-Tissue Massage
Just imagine every last one of your achy, ho-hum muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons getting unparalleled, sinfully-pleasurable attention from a professional masseuse. And taken a step further, with a 'deep-tissue' massage, lower-level muscle, connective tissue and/or fascia gets coalesced, sustained pressure to work out all of those pesky aches, knots, and weaknesses. If it's any indication of its effectiveness, deep-tissue massages are routinely practiced on patients with chronic pain and those with major, sustained injuries. So what are you waiting on? You might as well feel sensationally loose before you kick the bucket, right?
53. Get Through the Longleat Hedge Maze
The Longleat Hedge Maze (of the Longleat Safari Maze near Warminster and Frome in England) is a bewildering maze made up of, you guessed it—vertical hedges. The goal of wondering through them? To get to the observation tower as quickly as you can. Beware, though: It won't easy, as close to 2 miles of English Yew hedges (all 16,000 of them!) abound, producing twists and turns everywhere. And if the Maze isn't enough, the gorgeous scenery, stately Longleat Castle, and other attractions here will definitely make it worth your while.

About e-Citizen
Governments and organisations have moved towards the online provision of information, products and services, changing the way we interact with them. This shift presents a challenge for a large number of citizens who currently lack the necessary skills to access these online services and for the government departments and organisations who find that these services are largely underutilised because people lack the necessary skills set to access and use them.
e-Citizen enables those with limited knowledge of computers to get the most out of the Internet and email by explaining the basics of computing and Internet-based communication.
- It is a certification programme that enables people to learn how to use computers and the Internet.
- It has been designed to help people get the most out of the Internet by explaining how it works.
- It provides the essential skills that people need to actively access and engage in the information society.
- It is the solution for anyone who feels like they are losing out because they lack internet skills.
Who is it for?
e-Citizen is specifically developed for people with a limited knowledge of computers and the Internet. Currently there is still a large proportion of the population (c.50%) that do not have the appropriate skills to access the Internet. In particular, those from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds, geographically marginalised areas, and the elderly make up a large demographic of those who cannot use the Internet.
The e-Citizen certification programme is open to everyone regardless of status, education, age, ability or understanding; it is helpful (but not essential) to have a little knowledge of computers before enrolling in this programme. Typical candidates participating in the e-Citizen programme are those who use computers infrequently, and feel marginalised or excluded by not having the skills to access the internet, interact with others, and purchase goods and services over the Internet.
e-Citizen for the elderly Project
ECDL Foundation in association with Age Action Ireland and the Irish Computer Society completed a project to discover the benefits of e-Citizen certification in Ireland.

Recruiting a professional manager with the experience and resolve to tackle Jefferson County's problems is the most important task facing a new county commission that takes office this week, its members say.
"We need to go recruit -- and I use the word 'recruit' instead of 'hire' -- the Nick Saban of county managers, and we need to be prepared to pay him or her the Nick Saban of county manager prices," said Commissioner-elect David Carrington.
The county's problems -- ranging from a years-long record of corruption to debt that has put it on the brink of financial collapse -- demand that level of leadership and ability, he said.
And the commission faces a deadline in finding the right person.
The state Legislature passed an accountability bill in 2009 that mandated the commission hire someone for that job by April 2011.
"The county manager is the last piece of the puzzle," Commissioner-elect Jimmie Stephens said. "It gives us a focal point for the management of the county."
The new commission will be sworn in Wednesday and will begin working almost immediately to hire a county manager, members say.
Commissioner-elect Sandra Little Brown said the five-member board will take office "trying to put together a search team to help us get a county manager. That's one of our priorities. He or she is going to have to be a part of our team."
The commission will hire a national search firm that specializes in the recruitment of city and county managers. Under the state law, four of the five county commissioners must agree on the firm selected.
Carrington, the former Vestavia Hills City Council president, said the panel will come up with responsibilities for the manager and set a timeline for interviewing candidates.
He said Vestavia Hills' search for a city manager that began last year and Alabama's search for a head football coach that ended after the 2006 season will help guide the commission.
"Based on being involved with Vestavia's interviews of search firms, a great time to be talking to people is January and February, after the start of the year," Carrington said. "Hopefully we'll have our executive firm quickly selected so we can spend the month of December working to make sure the executive search firm understands the person we are looking for, so in January and February we are actually actively recruiting someone to come on and join the team."
Carrington said University of Alabama Athletics Director Mal Moore's hiring of Saban from the Miami Dolphins of the National Football League could be a template for the commission.
"Mal Moore decided he wanted Nick Saban. He was willing to put all of his eggs in that basket, and waited for the Dolphins' season to end to go recruit Nick Saban," Carrington said. "The person we're probably going to need to recruit isn't looking for a job, and surely isn't looking for this job.
"We're going to show them we have a challenge and we've been motivated by the challenge. We need to find a county manager who wants to have a challenge and solve problems."
Pressing problems
Jefferson County's most pressing problems are well documented.
The county has struggled unsuccessfully to find a way to repay $3.2 billion borrowed to repair and expand the county sewer system. And it has seen its credit rating reduced to junk status, which also has affected more than $1 billion in other debt -- more than $800 million for school construction and about $250 million in general obligation debt.
Then there's the occupational tax. A ballot question in 2012 will ask voters whether the job tax should be continued. If voters reject the levies, the commission has the option for a five-year phase-out. The occupational tax and business license fees generated about $75 million in fiscal 2009.
On Friday, a judge held a hearing on taxpayers' request to strike down Jefferson County's new occupational tax and business license fee and the county's request to uphold them as a key funding source.
Circuit Judge Charles Price did not rule but could issue an order as early as next week to either uphold or declare unconstitutional the Aug. 14, 2009, law reinstating the county's right to levy an occupational tax and a business license fee. An appeal is expected.
The county's lawyers said the new tax law was legal and said loss of the key revenue sources could create another crippling financial crisis and possible bankruptcy.
Along with huge financial difficulties, the county has been marred by corruption. Six former county commissioners have either been convicted or pleaded guilty to corruption charges, while 21 other people -- including some former county workers -- and five companies were convicted or pleaded guilty in federal criminal investigations into the construction and financing of the sewer system.
"We are at the base of a mountain," said Commissioner-elect Joe Knight. "We are in the ditch. It doesn't seem like a whole lot has been done. To me, it just seems like we've been spinning in one place. We want to solve some of these problems, and we have to take it one step at a time."
Job tax tutoring
One step, according to Commissioner George Bowman, is to educate residents, ahead of the 2012 referendum, about the necessity of keeping the job tax in place.
"We need the occupational tax for the smooth functioning of county government," Bowman said.
He said residents have to be reminded of what happened when the county temporarily lost the use of the occupational tax last summer. About 1,000 of the county's 3,600 workers were placed on leave during that crisis, and people ended up waiting hours in line for services such as car tags.
Before tackling those major issues, Stephens said, the new commissioners hope to score small victories such as avoiding the often acrimonious relationships that plagued the departing commission.
"You have to change the perception," Stephens said. "We have to work together to move the county forward and take away partisanship and move together as a team. I believe we can do that."
Already, incoming commissioners have said they plan to elect Carrington, a Republican, and Brown, a Democrat, as president and president pro tem on the newly seated panel. Four years ago Republicans held both leadership positions, although that GOP rule collapsed amid bickering on the panel.

The Future of Modernism
Flash back to 1999. George Lucas steps back into the director's chair after two decades of absence and produces the critically derided Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Though its visuals are praised, many writers note the stilted acting and suggest that Lucas's extensive use of bluescreens rather than actual sets is partially to blame. In 2002, the second Star Wars prequel seems to bear that out, and the use of "virtual sets" starts to look like a bad idea.
Or does it? Lucas, as has been the case before, may have been ahead of his time. This year saw two wildly different auteurs use the blue- and greenscreen techniques to create two of the most expensive "personal" movies ever. Kerry Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow existed as a fully realized story inside a computer before a single actor was cast, while Robert Zemeckis's The Polar Express allowed actors to portray characters who transcend their physical limitations. Yes, there were accusations of stilted acting this time around as well, but more critics and viewers started warming to the notion of bluescreens, especially after viewing The Polar Express in 3-D IMAX, which revealed minute details that were invisible on a regular-size screen.
The real breakthrough is still coming. Now that Lucas, Conran, and Zemeckis have pioneered the technology, it's going to get cheaper and easier, and proof of that arrives in spring 2005 with the Henson Company's Mirror Mask, a computer-generated/live-action fantasy film by Sandman comic-book creators Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, shot mostly against a greenscreen for a paltry $4 million. Robert Rodriguez, who experimented with the style in Spy Kids 3-D, will follow shortly thereafter with Sin City, a highly stylized rendition of Frank Miller's hard-edged graphic novel series. Early glimpses of these flicks wowed the faithful at the San Diego Comicon last July.
Also hitting the festival circuit in ö05 will be a remake of the classic German expressionist horror movie The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, in vintage-style sepia and white, but utilizing virtual sets to re-create the surreal look of the 1920 original.
Oh yeah, and there's that one with Darth Vader in it too . . .

Quantifying the implications of nonlinear cochlear tuning for auditory-filter estimates111(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1436071View Description Hide Description
The relation between auditory filters estimated from psychophysical methods and peripheral tuning was evaluated using a computational auditory-nerve (AN) model that included many of the response properties associated with nonlinear cochlear tuning. The phenomenological AN model included the effects of dynamic level-dependent tuning, compression, and suppression on the responses of high-, medium-, and low-spontaneous-rate AN fibers. Signal detection theory was used to evaluate psychophysical performance limits imposed by the random nature of AN discharges and by random-noise stimuli. The power-spectrum model of masking was used to estimate psychophysical auditory filters from predicted AN-model detection thresholds for a tone signal in fixed-level notched-noise maskers. Results demonstrate that the role of suppression in broadening peripheral tuning in response to the noise masker has implications for the interpretation of psychophysical auditory-filter estimates. Specifically, the estimated psychophysical auditory-filter equivalent rectangular bandwidths (ERBs) that were derived from the nonlinear AN model with suppression always overestimated the ERBs of the low-level peripheral model filters. Further, this effect was larger for an 8-kHz signal than for a 2-kHz signal, suggesting a potential characteristic-frequency (CF) dependent bias in psychophysical estimates of auditory filters due to the increase in strength of cochlear nonlinearity with increases in CF.
Effects of a limited class of nonlinearities on estimates of relative weights111(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1434944View Description Hide Description
Perturbation analyses have been applied in recent years to determine the relative contribution of individual stimulus components in detection and discrimination tasks. Responses to stimulus samples are compared to stimulus parameters to determine the details of the decision rule. Often, a linear model is assumed and it is of interest to determine the relative contribution of different stimulus elements to the decision. Here, biases in estimated relative weights are considered for the case where the decision variable is given by and the stimulus components, the are normally distributed, of equal variance, and mutually independent. The are the "true" combination weights, and n, k, and m are positive reals. The method used to estimate relative weights is the correlation coefficient between the and the observer's responses. Estimates of relative do not depend on m but may depend on the mean values of the and the values of n and k (a dependence on the variance, holds even for linear transformations).
Modeling the influence of inherent envelope fluctuations in simultaneous masking experiments111(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1430690View Description Hide Description
Masked thresholds are measured and simulated for bandpass-noise signals ranging in bandwidth from 4 to 256 Hz in the presence of a masking bandpass noise also ranging in bandwidth from 4 to 256 Hz. Signal and masker are centered at 2 kHz. To investigate the role of temporal processing in simultaneous masking, simulations were performed with the modulation-filterbank model by Dau et al. [J. Acoust. Soc Am. 102, 2906–2919 (1997)]. For a fixed masker bandwidth, thresholds are independent of the signal bandwidth as long as the signal bandwidth does not exceed the masker bandwidth and thresholds decrease with increasing masker bandwidth in those conditions. A simple modulation-low-pass filter (energy integrator) would be sufficient to describe the experimental results in those conditions. In contrast, the processing by a modulation filterbank is necessary to account for the conditions of "asymmetry of masking," where thresholds for signals with bandwidths larger than the masker bandwidth are much lower than those for the reversed condition. In those conditions, the modulation-filterbank model is able to use the inherent higher modulation frequencies of the signal as an additional cue.
Discrimination of sound source velocity in human listeners111(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1436067View Description Hide Description
The ability of six human subjects to discriminate the velocity of moving sound sources was examined using broadband stimuli presented in virtual auditory space. Subjects were presented with two successive stimuli moving in the frontal horizontal plane level with the ears, and were required to judge which moved the fastest. Discrimination thresholds were calculated for reference velocities of 15, 30, and 60 degrees/s under three stimulus conditions. In one condition, stimuli were centered on 0° azimuth and their duration varied randomly to prevent subjects from using displacement as an indicator of velocity. Performance varied between subjects giving median thresholds of 5.5, 9.1, and 14.8 degrees/s for the three reference velocities, respectively. In a second condition, pairs of stimuli were presented for a constant duration and subjects would have been able to use displacement to assist their judgment as faster stimuli traveled further. It was found that thresholds decreased significantly for all velocities (3.8, 7.1, and 9.8 degrees/s), suggesting that the subjects were using the additional displacement cue. The third condition differed from the second in that the stimuli were "anchored" on the same starting location rather than centered on the midline, thus doubling the spatial offset between stimulus endpoints. Subjects showed the lowest thresholds in this condition (2.9, 4.0, and 7.0 degrees/s). The results suggested that the auditory system is sensitive to velocityper se, but velocity comparisons are greatly aided if displacement cues are present.
Frequency-to-electrode allocation and speech perception with cochlear implants111(2002); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1436073View Description Hide Description
The hypothesis was investigated that selectively increasing the discrimination of low-frequency information (below 2600 Hz) by altering the frequency-to-electrode allocation would improve speech perception by cochlear implantees. Two experimental conditions were compared, both utilizing ten electrode positions selected based on maximal discrimination. A fixed frequency range (200–10 513 Hz) was allocated either relatively evenly across the ten electrodes, or so that nine of the ten positions were allocated to the frequencies up to 2600 Hz. Two additional conditions utilizing all available electrode positions (15–18 electrodes) were assessed: one with each subject's usual frequency-to-electrode allocation; and the other using the same analysis filters as the other experimental conditions. Seven users of the Nucleus CI22 implant wore processors mapped with each experimental condition for 2-week periods away from the laboratory, followed by assessment of perception of words in quiet and sentences in noise. Performance with both ten-electrode maps was significantly poorer than with both full-electrode maps on at least one measure. Performance with the map allocating nine out of ten electrodes to low frequencies was equivalent to that with the full-electrode maps for vowelperception and sentences in noise, but was worse for consonant perception. Performance with the evenly allocated ten-electrode map was equivalent to that with the full-electrode maps for consonant perception, but worse for vowelperception and sentences in noise. Comparison of the two full-electrode maps showed that subjects could fully adapt to frequency shifts up to ratio changes of 1.3, given 2 weeks' experience. Future research is needed to investigate whether speech perception may be improved by the manipulation of frequency-to-electrode allocation in maps which have a full complement of electrodes in Nucleus implants.

This Article Covers
Business applications
Developed for members of the UK Consumer Association in conjunction with the Great British Car Rip-off campaign against inflated UK car prices, the site enables members to search for and order imported cars online. Shortly after its launch, however, it was decided to open the site up to the general public as well. Obviously, this meant the site specifications had to change.
Originally, the site was built on a medium specification Windows NT 4 machine - a Compaq Proliant 500MHz with 128Mbytes of Ram. However, this would have been nowhere near enough capacity for the 100 million-plus hits the site now receives each day.

Cormac Murphy, developer at Intuitiv Internet Services, the Web development company behind the site, explains what changes they made in order to cope with the increase in traffic: "It was decided to run the site on a greatly beefed up server, with both a mirror and a hot-swappable back-up server for resilience," says Murphy.
"The primary server is running Microsoft Windows 2000 server with Internet Information Server (IIS) 5. Windows 2000 was billed as providing significant benefits over NT 4 in terms of reliability and scalability. There was a little bit of a risk using it because it's such a new platform, but it has paid off."
Murphy believes in developing systems that are totally integrated and the database runs on another Microsoft product, SQL Server 7. SQL was used to house information on car importers, prices and availability. IIS and Active Server Pages (ASP) were used to deal with search queries and process online forms in tandem with the SQL database. The Common Gateway Interface (CGI) was all done using ASP.
When Intuitiv switched to Windows 2000, Murphy simply migrated the already existing carbusters.com infrastructure, transferring SQL and the IIS 5 systems across from the original NT Server 4 platform.
Another advantage to using Windows 2000, according to Murphy, is that it has made hosting and maintaining the site easier because he has taken advantage of various tools to monitor site traffic and server performance. "We will be able to pre-empt any future problems before they arise," he says.
It took just over three months to build the original site - with development work starting in August 1999 - and a further three months to make the site live to the wider audience.
