A War Played to Many Audiences
Op-Ed, The Boston Globe, page 19
March 31, 2003
Author: Graham Allison, Director, Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School
THE IRAQ SPECTACLE now running 24/7 is simultaneously war and theater. In both arenas, it is in General Tommy Franks's words 'a campaign unlike any other in history.'
Think of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld as the producer of this extravaganza, General Franks as the director, and 250,000 US and British fighting men and women as the supporting cast. What was the producer's intended message for the first week of the war? The Bush administration's actions and words sought to create the impression that the war was over before real fighting began. This 'psyops' campaign -- Pentagon-speak for psychological operations -- targeted the hearts and minds of Saddam's cronies and commanders attempting to persuade them that Saddam was a lost cause whom they should abandon or betray. Following Sun Tzu, 'supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.' Had Rumsfeld's pronouncements become a self-fulfilling prophecy, who could object?
For secondary audiences of this ultimate in reality TV, the swirl of images and finely spun words has been confusing, and sometimes misleading.
Investors found the promise of a swift, clean victory so attractive that they pushed the US and international equity markets to their biggest weekly advance since 1982.
Having failed to end this drama in the first act, President Bush now faces a war that poses challenges beyond anything seen before. First, American forces are fighting not to destroy the Iraqi adversary and its population. Rather, the objective is to liberate an Iraqi population in order to rebuild a stable, pluralistic society. Military strategists are thus constrained to fight in ways that advance, not undermine, prospects of the nation-building program to follow.
Second, this war is being conducted in a global goldfish bowl. Embedded journalists, anchors, commentators, and a watching world critique every action, every hour.
Third, never before has a war been fought with so much regard for so many audiences. These viewers begin with the Iraqi leadership, but extend to the US public; thereafter the Iraqi people; and finally governments and people around the world.
The complexity of communicating to multiple audiences simultaneously is illustrated vividly in the 'shock and awe' attack on Baghdad. Pentagon advertisements promised a knock-out blow. An attack 'beyond anything seen in previous wars' would so stun and disorient the Iraqi leadership that the regime would implode.
But who was most shocked or most awed by the opening phase of the war? Unquestionably, images of the assault on Baghdad stunned TV audiences around the world with mushroom clouds rising from the rubble and images of Baghdad burning. On the morning after, it was not Al-Jazeera but The New York Times whose banner headline proclaimed: 'US Bombs Ravage Targets in Baghdad.' Viewers of these grizzly scenes surely envisioned thousands of civilian casualties.
The reality could hardly have been further from the image. Because Pentagon plans for an opening blow of 3,000 smart bombs were cut back to 1,300 in order to minimize civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure in Baghdad, Iraqi leaders saw with their own eyes less damage to key assets than during the 1991 Desert Storm bombing campaign.
On the day after the attack, Iraq's information minister announced how many Iraqi civilians had been killed: three! For his supporters, Saddam Hussein's claim that Americans and their allies are unwilling either to kill or to die might appear to have been confirmed.
If Saddam's strategy of drawing American soldiers into Basra and Baghdad for street fighting succeeds, the gaps among competing audiences of the war will become unbridgeable. Forced to choose between American casualties and Iraqi civilian casualties, one can understand why leaders will choose the latter.
But vivid pictures of innocent Iraqis dying are just the scenes Saddam seeks in his script for this confrontation. Should destroying Saddam's regime require a bloody show with not just hundreds, but rather thousands of deaths of innocent Iraqi civilians and Jenin-like images of razed civilian apartment buildings, governments around the world will demand a cease-fire and compromise.
Shaky governments in Pakistan, Egypt, or Jordan could be toppled. Terrorist acts against 'crusaders' will intensify. And even in death, Saddam could depart with the hope that victory in the battle of Baghdad could prove a major defeat in the larger war against terrorists and tyrants.

LIME ROCK, Conn. – Alex Welch claimed the second round of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Series Saturday afternoon at Lime Rock Park.
The opening stages saw second-place starter Richard Antinucci come into the pits on lap one, as pole-sitting car shared by Friday winners Lee Davis and Ryan Eversley embark in an epic duel with Kevin Conway. The two cars exchanged the lead position three times in the opening 10 laps.
The battle continued through the race before a late pitstop for Davis & Eversley allowed Welch to move into the lead. Once out front, Welch never gave up the lead and drove to victory.
"It's just an incredible feeling to win this race, especially given the quality of drivers competing," Welch said. "The car and the team performed exceptionally well. We were consistent but a little fortunate that Lee and Ryan had to make a late stop. It's been great to be involved with Lamborghini's first race in the U.S."
Welch secured first in both classes as an amateur driver, with Kevin Conway taking second and the Davis/Eversley entry finishing third overall.

Active Server Pages returns VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
This article was previously published under Q194801
This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
The use of CreateObject to create a COM component in an Active Server Pages (ASP) page may result in the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'This error is usually generated because dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) on which the COM object depends are one of the following:
ActiveX component can't create object
ActiveX component can't create object
- Missing from the system
- Not in the system path
- Not accessible by the system because of security settings
Each of the above reasons applies to the DLL that implements the COM objectas well as any of the DLLs dependencies. For instance, if a COM DLLstatically links to a Win32 DLL and the Win32 DLL is missing from thesystem, a 800a01ad error is generated.
There are many ways to determine DLL dependencies. Among these are theDepends.exe tool, which shipped with the Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) and Developer Studio 98, and the DUMPBIN utility, which is installed with Visual C++.
The following files are available for download from the MicrosoftDownload Center:
Download the Dependsia64version2.1.3623.exe package now.Download the Dependsx86version2.1.3623.exe package now.

119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online ServicesMicrosoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help to prevent any unauthorized changes to the file. For more information about this tool, visit the following Dependency Walker Web site:
To use Depends, simply run the tool and open the DLL in question. To use DUMPBIN to view the dependencies, run the following at a command prompt "dumpbin /IMPORTS <name of DLL>". The Depends utility has the advantage of displaying dependencies of dependencies. It would appear that quick view in the Windows Explorer would display the same information, but it has been observed that the information displayed is not always complete.
Further information about each of the possible causes follows:
DLLs Missing From the SystemThe DLL that implements the COM object must exist on the system and beregistered with the correct path. Creation failure of a COM object that isnot registered at all will actually generate a different error:
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
To verify that the path in the registry is correct, run the RegEdit programand search for the PROGID (found in the CreateObject call). From the PROGIDentry, record or copy the CLSID to the Clipboard and locate the entry forthe CLSID. This entry should contain an InprocServer32 key with a path tothe DLL. The following illustrates the flow of this process:
(from the asp file) set obj = Server.CreateObject("BadComponent.Badguy") (from RegEdit) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\BadComponent.BadGuy\CLSID {683DA7E0-5C73-11D2-80F6-0000F87A8236} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{683DA7E0-5C73-11D2-80F6-0000F87A8236}\ InprocServer32 E:\Programs\COMPON~1\BADCOM~1\Debug\BADCOM~1.DLL
The following commands run from a command prompt will verify the existenceof this file:
E:\>cd E:\Programs\COMPON~1\BADCOM~1\Debug E:\Programs\COMPON~1\BADCOM~1\Debug>dir BADCOM~1.DLL 10/14/98 11:18a 241,739 BadComponent.dll 1 File(s) 241,739 bytes 2,038,755,328 bytes free
If no path is specified in the registry for the DLL, the DLL must exist inthe system path.
A COM DLL may have dependencies other than Win32 DLLs that are staticallylinked (DUMPBIN and Depends.exe show DLLs statically linked). For instance,a COM object may call LoadLibrary() and call functions in a Win32 DLL.Similarly, the control may create COM objects that are contained inseparate DLLs. Any of these DLLs may be missing, improperly registered, oninaccessible due to security. This would result in a runtime error that mayor may not be encountered during the creation of the control. ReturningS_FALSE from the FinalConstruct() method of an ATL control can simulate anexample of control failing in such a manner during creation. This assumesLoadLibrary() or CoCreateInstance() failed in FinalConstruct(), and theprogrammer chose to check for this and return S_FALSE. The error generatedin this case will be similar to the following:
error 'ASP 0115'
Unexpected error
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot
continue running.
Server object error 'ASP 0115 : 8000ffff'
Failure of this type will not generate an 800a01ad error.
Unexpected error
A trappable error occurred in an external object. The script cannot
continue running.
Server object error 'ASP 0115 : 8000ffff'
Failure of this type will not generate an 800a01ad error.
DLLs Not in the System PathThe system must be able to find the dependant DLLs (statically linked) ofthe DLL that implements the COM object being created. Using DUMPBIN orDepends, determine what the dependent DLLs are. Verify that all of theseDLLs are either in the same directory as the COM DLL or in the system path.
DLLs Not Accessible by the System Because of Security SettingWhen a client requests an Active Server Pages (ASP) page from a server, theASP page runs in a security context dependant on the authentication methodused to access the Web Server. For instance, anonymous requests run in thecontext of the IUSR_MACHINENAME where MACHINENAME is the name of yourcomputer. For information on other authentication methods and securityconsiderations, please consult the IIS documentation. What this means interms of an 800a01ad error is that the authenticated user must have access(via NTFS file permissions) to the COM DLL and all of the dependant DLLs.
A shotgun approach can be used to determine if this is the cause of theproblem. Using the Windows Explorer, select Properties for the COM DLL,select the Security tab, and grant "everyone" at least read access to theDLL. Do the same for the dependent DLLs and directories containing theDLLs. This should eliminate any security restrictions that may be affectingthe creation of the COM object. Security can be tightened after it isdetermined that this was the problem. Keep in mind, many of the dependantDLLs are Windows system DLLs and will have at least "everyone read" accessalready. Do not mistakenly remove this access when "tightening" thesecurity.

Emission control

That includes ammonia emissions, which contribute to the build-up of nitrogen in Rocky Mountain National Park, an outdoor icon and key Front Range tourist draw.
The cows' digestives processes also will lead to more methane, a greenhouse gas that the Environmental Protection Agency says traps heat in the atmosphere more effectively than carbon dioxide.
Weld County already boasts a total of 550,000 cattle including 50,000 dairy cows.
Spread throughout the region, the additional cows are expected to produce 4.5 million pounds of milk by the end of next year, said Wade Meek, member services director for Dairy Farmers of America in Colorado.
The farmer-owned cooperative has agreed to supply that milk to the new Leprino cheese plant in Greeley. That level of production will require 30,000 more dairy cows, but the plant someday will have capacity for additional production, which would require 50,000 cows, Meek said.
Now fully operational in its first phase with 100 workers, Leprino is building its plant in three phases, company spokesman Ted Wietecha said. The company will ramp up production based on demand and the availability of milk.
Dairy Farmers of America will coordinate with Leprino to align the number of incoming cows with the plant's growth, said David Darr, vice president of sustainability and public affairs.
Regardless of the specific number of cows headed for Weld County, scientists believe nitrogen levels in Rocky Mountain National Park have already risen to twice the acceptable amount.
Upslope weather — winds from the east — carries ammonia particles to the park, leading to nitrogen deposition in soil, plants and lakes.
Livestock, including dairy and beef cattle, emit the most ammonia of any pollution source, according to a 2002 analysis published in a recent state report.
Depending on the weather, the ammonia can head in any direction, including farms where it fertilizes crops.
But it harms the national park's fragile alpine environments, in part by creating more algae in lakes that could kill fish and favoring grasses that crowd out flowering plants, diminishing alpine flowers, according to the National Park Service.
"It's very, very subtle,´ said Jay Ham, professor at CSU's Department of Soil and Crop Science. But, "Since it's a pristine national park, a lot of effort is going in to protect it."
Ham has measured ammonia emissions from dairy farms that have agreed to be monitored. Livestock has contributed to the problem, but it represents just one of many sources of pollution, he said.
"Will adding these animals really add that much to the total?" he asked. "We don't really know."
Ham doubts a significant change in air quality would result. However, how much additional air pollution the cows will cause depends on their location, how farmers manage them, the kinds of waste handling system they use and other factors.
The state, which does not regulate cow emissions, has collaborated with industry to minimize any environmental issues.
In fact, the state Department of Public Health and Environment has worked with the dairy industry for years to reduce ammonia emissions in the park, said Phyllis Woodford, manager of the state environmental agriculture program.
Moving forward, state regulators want dairy farmers to commit to voluntary "best management practices" to limit cow emissions, Woodford said.
State officials also are considering a system to warn farmers of upslope weather that could carry ammonia to the mountains. That way, farmers could avoid moving manure around those times.
Some Northern Colorado dairy farmers have responded by adopting some of these practices.
Sensitive to the issue, the Colorado Livestock Association hosted an air-quality symposium in Fort Morgan in February, though turnout was lower than expected.
"There wasn't as many producers there as I had hoped,´ said Jon Slutsky, owner of a 1,500-cow dairy farm near Wellington.
A member of the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission, Slutsky said that because the park is supervised by the federal government, dairy farmers run the risk of violating the federal Clean Air Act.
Upslope winds do not occur very often, but when they do, "we have the potential to really affect the ecosystem," he said.
"If we were very diligent in these periods of time, we could make a big impact on the park," he said.
Slutsky believes that dairy farmers can prevent additional nitrogen deposition in the park by ensuring that cow urine does not combine with an enzyme in manure to produce additional ammonia. That means frequently moving manure as soon as possible from cows' stalls to manure piles, which seal themselves and prevent nitrogen from escaping.
Dairy farmers also can avoid feeding their cows too much nitrogen, which combines with cow urine to create ammonia. Many farmers already work with nutritionists to do this to maintain milk quality, he said.
Beyond dairy farms, crop farmers should incorporate manure from dairy operations used for fertilizer into their soil as quickly as possible, he added.
As for methane, the state does not have immediate plans to address the greenhouse gas. Worldwide, livestock produce about 80 million metric tons of methane annually, making them "one of the largest methane sources," according to the EPA.
In the United States, cattle emit about 5.5 million metric tons of methane annually, accounting for one fifth of the nation's methane emissions.
Agricultural activities are exempt under state air regulations, said Kirstin King, program manager for stationary sources at the state environment department.
However, citing a U.S. Department of Agriculture study, King said any dairy farm with 6,700 or more cows may emit enough methane and nitrous oxide to warrant a permit from the federal government.
A dairy farm of that size would emit 100,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, or about 8,000 tons of methane, she said. Scientists are conducting additional studies that should help the department better understand cattle emissions.
EPA is "still working through what sources and how they would be regulated," she said. "Ag is one of those that's in a little bit of a gray area. We're waiting for clarification on that."
King said her department plans to tell dairy farmers what the state will require when they determine who might need a permit.
"The greenhouse gas rules are new, so we're still getting a handle on what sources are out there and how large they really are," she said. "It's certainly something we will be looking into and watching over time."
Darr said emissions from dairy cows have decreased through the years: As cow-milking operations have become more efficient, fewer cows overall are needed, even as milk production has risen.
As for odor and dust, Weld County requires dairy farmers to control those issues and officials investigate when complaints are made, said Troy Swain, waste program coordinator for the county Department of Public Health and Environment.
In addition, dairy farms are located in agricultural zones away from populated areas and newer facilities are designed to minimize the problem, Swain said.
New operations can take steps like using siding that prevents odor and dust from blowing into populated areas during prevailing winds, Ham said.
Ham hopes that dairy farmers in the area will work with CSU, which could help them maintain cleaner air.
"That's one thing nice thing about new operations is you can be proactive and take care of issues before they even start," he said.

Oklahoma City used a dominant second half to cruise to a third consecutive double-digit home win, beating Phoenix 127-96 on Friday. Here's some rapid reaction. Turning point Goran Dragic came out hot, the Suns bench played well and Phoenix hung with the Thunder through 24 minutes. But the second half was a different story. This Phoenix roster can't play with the Thunder for a full 48. That was clear in the opening minutes of the half #2, when OKC went on an explosive 24-5 run to put the game away and clinch a 10th straight win over this rebuilding organization.

2011 BMW 1 Series 128i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I have been searching for a RWD convertible with a manual transmission for some time now and while test driving all the usual suspects in the same price range (new and used) my 128i was the obvious choice. I wouldn't mind a 135 for the significantly increased grunt, but there was no such car available- either new and too expensive or used and too old and out of warranty. Nevertheless the linearity of the naturally aspirated I-6 makes running up to the 7000rpm redline a pleasure, especially with the top down. While true value is debatable (I don't know if I could ever justify the full sticker price of a new one) the build quality, ergonomics and all around driving experience is worth it to me
Smooth engine, a pleasurable manual transmission, great interior quality and design, amazing seat adjustments and comfort level, great HK sound system and nuclear powered heated seats.
The all orange dashboard lighting does not scream luxury. In a couple years I would look forward to checking out a 328 that has the new turbo charged I-4 to help close the grunt gap between that and the 335.
I was looking for a fun car with a convertible top and the 128 was just right.Luckily found a certified 2011 with only 14K miles and got the price break and power train warranty to 100K.A key factor was trunk space since I plan on using the car for trips in my retirement.It will hold a 25 inch roller bag flat and a 22 on its side, and even more in the back seat - great for such a small carI am an engineer and I am impressed with the build quality of this least expensive BMW.
The car is a delight to drive.
Ample power and a shiftable automatic (pull back to up shift - like a race car).
Engine sings a pretty song with the top down.
The optional rear windscreen makes top down running comfortable.
In-dash multi-disc CD player.
The run-flat tires seem to detract from the smoothness and handling, and I hope this technology will improve sine there is no room for a
spare. These are very small things - this is a great car!
My 2011 128i Convertible has 8,000 miles with nary a problem.Changed the run-flats to Contintental DWS regular tires the first week and it was like driving a completely different car--much better ride.Comfortable seats and just a blast to drive.In some ways better than the 3 series--top down at least you have some useable trunk space with the 128.Almost went for the 135, but I'm happy with the power of the 128--engine sometimes lugs a bit taking off, but slap the transmission over to sport mode and it compensates and puts you into the sweet spot of the torque curve and takes care of the issue.Nimble handling.One of the most fun cars I've ever had.
Great ride without the run-flats.
Nimble handling.
Comfortable seats.
Just plain fun to drive.
Useable trunk space with top down.
Surprisingly useable back seats for all but the largest adults.
Stock stereo is poor.
Gas mileage is poor.
Using run-flats is dumbest decision BMW ever made--switch to decent regular tires and you'll get vastly improved ride, plus better handling.
Car would be even better if BMW would use some aluminum and shave a couple of hundred pounds in weight.
Took delivery in Munich. Spent a month driving around Germany, Austria, N. Italy and S. France. This car was made for this kind of driving; it couldn't have been more fun. If it were any bigger, I would have been even more terrified driving through Italy. The top is so easy to raise and lower we drove with it down every day we used the car. Even with the small engine, it didn't lack for pickup in the mountains. The 6 speed manual transmission was perfect. Seldom needed the brakes, except on the steepest downhills. Got admiring glances from most everyone. Now, if it is just half as good as the 1994 325 with 213,000 miles it replaced...
Automatic top operation up to about 25 mph is superb. No more getting caught at the stoplights half way through. Loved the iPod in Europe. Climate control was great, especially with the top down. Anti-reflective seats really do keep them cooler with the top down. Pretty good gas mileage
Can't think of a thing. I even think they're reasonably priced.
There is no other vehicle with this combination of fun and convenience. I previously had two Z4's and loved them but this car provides the fun with a back seat and room for two sets of golf clubs in the trunk with the top down. For the money there is no rival. A comparable Audi is $10,000 more and you still cannot get a 6 cylinder. One negative is the satellite radio. There is a software problem that causes problems with acquiring stations. Two years and still not fixed. Shame on you BMW.
It's the top, of course.
Fix the radio. The satellite problem is annoying.

I need help with Microsoft Word. Do you know where I can get telephone support? I have a book typed in Word and I need to put a ~ after every period. Is there any way to populate this without typing in everyone?
Help Using Microsoft Word
Microsoft Word is a complex word processor with tons of useful features - if you know how to use them. In this case, it's not necessary to try to call Microsoft for help as you have found Filetonic.com and we're always eager to do our best to lend a helping hand. I'm not sure why an editor would want a "~" mark after every period and I can see how tedious that would be to do manually, even in a relatively short document - let alone a book. However, we can accommodate this request fairly easily using Microsoft's Find and Replace feature.
Using Word's Find and Replace Feature
The Find and Replace feature is most often used to find certain words and replace them with new words. For example, let's say that you wrote a book and your main character was named "Ralph." Later, you decide that you'd rather Ralph have a different name, such as Benny. Rather than going through and replacing each instance of "Ralph" with "Benny" (and possibly missing a few), you can use the Find and Replace feature to find "Ralph" and replace it with "Benny."
Word can also search your document for every single period (.) and replace each one with a tilde (~) mark. To do this, hit the Control key plus the 'F' key. I remember this by thinking 'F' for "Find." A box appears. Enter a period mark in the box that says "Find what" and then click the "Replace" tab. Now, enter a tilde mark in the box that says "Replace with." When you're ready, click either the Replace button or the Replace All button. You can do it one period at a time by clicking the Replace button followed by Find Next, but that's going to be quite tedious.
Problems with Find and Replace
Before you click on Replace All, keep in mind that this will replace all periods, not just the ones that end a sentence. For example, if your text contains a Web site address such as Filetonic.com, the period will be replaced and you'll end up with "Filetonic~com." You can avoid problems like this by including a space after the both punctuation marks when you enter them in the Find and Replace dialog boxes. That way, when Word finds a period followed by a blank space, it will replace the period and the blank space with a tilde and a blank space. When Word finds a period followed by a letter, it will ignore it.
Exploring Word
I hope this little trick helps make your job easier. Word is a powerful tool with tons of timesavers. Explore Word's built-in Help files or check out Microsoft Office Online for tutorials and tips. Microsoft even offers a free self-paced training course covering Word 2007.

More commuters are saving time and experiencing less congestion-related stress on SR 167. The SR 167 high occupancy toll (HOT) lanes are high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes open to solo drivers who choose to pay a toll. Carpools of two or more, vanpools and buses use the lanes toll-free. Toll rates adjust to ensure traffic in the HOT lane is free flowing even when the regular lanes are congested.
HOT lanes give solo drivers the option to pay a toll to drive in the HOV lane. Solo drivers who choose to use the HOT lanes must install a Good To Go! pass in their vehicle and have an active Good To Go! account .
Carpools with two or more passengers can travel for free in the SR 167 HOT lanes. Carpoolers do not need a Good To Go! pass to travel free, but if they have a pass, the carpooler must do the following to ensure they are not charged a toll:
A Sticker Pass will be charged regardless of the number of passengers in the vehicle.
If you ride a motorcycle, take a bus/vanpool or travel with at least one passenger, a HOT lane works like an HOV lane and you do not need to pay a toll to use it. You do not need a Good To Go! pass to travel free on SR 167 HOT lanes.
Toll rates for HOT lanes are dynamically priced and can change based on congestion.
SR 167 drivers will only need to upgrade to a Flex Pass if they want to travel free as a carpool on the I-405 Express Toll Lanes between Bellevue and Lynnwood from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. To use the I-405 express toll lanes as a carpool, you must have a Good To Go! account in good standing and use a Flex Pass in HOV mode.
If you are an existing Good To Go! customer with a switchable pass, you can get a free upgrade to a Flex Pass. Please contact us to get a free Flex Pass as a replacement.
Drivers may enter and exit the HOT lanes nearly anywhere along the corridor. In most places, HOT lanes are separated by a single white line which may be crossed over at any time. This is different than the I-405 express toll lanes which is separated by double white lines which are illegal to cross.
Read more about how to access the SR 167 HOT Lanes.

Polk Audio's Mobile Monitor Series subwoofers bring out superior performance from lighter materials, so you'll get the impact you want without the extra weight of a conventional system. Advanced engineering and optimized components reproduce your sound with uncompromising accuracy, for low end that is rich and clear.
The MM840D 8" dual voice coil subwoofer handles up to 250 watts RMS. A copper voice coil and neodymium magnet motor drive the polymer cone with exceptional efficiency. The carbon composite basket features a "wagon wheel" design that resists flexing during heavy excursion, so your sub hits solidly without distorting. Dual 4-ohm voice coils offer options for wiring a multi-sub system or drawing maximum power from your mono amplifier.
This sub is certified for marine use, and Polk includes corrosion-resistant stainless steel mounting hardware.
Great speaker sound and Price.

Average Customer Review(s):
Great speaker sound and Price.
Pros: Great Price and great sound quality!
Great Sound, fits great (14 JKU)
Let me start off by stating that these speakers ask for 250 rms per sub. the 180 listed on Crutchfields website isn't their error, Polk misprinted the manuals with an incorrect wattage. If anything it shows their responsibility in going through the manuals of new products. But aside from all that, these speakers rock. I haven't broken them in yet so I haven't really cranked the bass, but they hit spot on the beat and they hit hard. Now they won't give you respiratory problems but for their size they're very strong. I put two of these in my Jeep Wrangler in a custom box and since they require so little space, building an easily concealable box was no problem. I've got them lifted off the floor, aimed at the ground and they fit perfectly in between the seat and the tailgate which also keeps them from being removable without opening the back
Pros: Hit perfectly with the beat even when turned up Alot of bass from a small package Require very little sealed enclosure volume
Cons: none
I had a Kicker Comp VR8 dual coils (one driver) in my setup but not very satisfying with its performance. So I was in search for a better driver to replace and found MM840 DVC. This was chosen based on the limited space in my 2001 frontier and its relative shallow depth, combined with the positive review online. Although not having a chance to listen the new sub perform enough, the first impression was incredible. Whenever it hit the low note, I can "feel" the thump vibrating through my skin. This "feel" I was not experienced with the Kicker, perhaps due to lack of require volume (Kicker requires upward to 1.8cf but it only had 0.70cf). I construct a custom sealed box and chose to go with 0.703cf, an upper limit recommend by Polk (0.68cf) and this is the volume MM840 requires. The sub seems to give a fairly flat response, tight control, and clean sound. My ears was really pleased with MM840 performance. One note about Crutchfield, I purchase this from the dent/scratch category items and was not confident about the item's appearance. My unfounded worry was completely gone when I received the box. Not only the MM840 was in like-new condition, it is just new. In addition, the cost for the item was a sweet deal. Ya'll not to be scare to take advantage of deal like this. Thank you Crutchfiled.
Pros: Tight and clean sound. Goes lower than the Kicker.
Cons: The foam ring gasket is to thick for my application.
I have this sub run off of an Alpine M500 mono amp. This thing kicks in my 2011 Wrangler 2 door even in the stock enclosure.
Pros: Hits as hard as a 10" sub.
Cons: Wish the foam ring they sent was made of MDF instead.

I had lunch with author Ian Coutts at the Kingston Brew Pub today after finding out we lived in the same town. He provided me with a review copy of his new book, Brew North as well as an invite to the book launch a couple of Sundays from now. It was all like living in Toronto - the Big Smoke itself - for a moment there, talking face to face with someone involved with beer.
We talked about his interest in beer and sources for his book, including the great collection of breweriana as well as booze can images from the 1700s to the twenty-first century. After reading In Mixed Company, it easy to point out that this is a pop history but it is a good one. The thing that caught my eye immediately was the quality of the images. The high production quality of this paperback results in very crisp and detailed photos, including a number in my favorite section, the one on the little discussed dreary phenomena know as the "beer parlour." The Canadian standard drinking establishment from the end of prohibition to the 1970s regulated to be the opposite of a saloon, these were dark, male, dull places without a bar, music, women, windows, air or until a certain point the right to stand up with your beer and walk across the room. I recall around 1982 being offered a raw steak in one of the last of these places, Halifax's Ladies Beverage Room or LBR. It was still in its Dominion Store wrapper, flashed from under the coat of its shoplifter.
Logically divided in to eras based on the regulation and restrictions on beer, on homeliness and later homogeneity of brewing in Canada, this is a book worth giving to the newbie and intermediate good beer fan with an interest in history - including up to the present day with a photo of Bar Volo with Ralph himself looking out from amongst the crowd from under his hat. It is a great addition to the still all too small selection of writing of the history of beer in Canada. I suggested to Ian that he could put another ten of these books out - one on each province. I couldn't tell from his expression if he thought I was mad or if there was a proposal to his publisher being made mentally right in front of me.
Mark your Google calendar mobile apps. Book launch at the Kingston brew pub, Sunday September 19th from 3:30 to 6:30 pm.

Courtney Love Exhibits Her Somewhat Disturbing Artwork In NYC
Courtney Love is more than just a singer - she's an artist. She launched her "And It's Not Even Pretty" exhibit at Fred Torres Collaborations in Manhattan yesterday.
Her pencil and watercolor drawings include several nude portraits, self-portraits and even one featuring naked actress Gwyneth Paltrow with a baby in her arms.(We wonder how she feels about that?)
In addition, there's a white dress painted with red writing that reads: "Not my c*** on my dime mister" and another swatch of clothing with "F*** me" repeatedly embroidered on it.
Love studied fine art at the San Francisco Art Institute in the 1980s. Her exhibit is scheduled to run until June 15.
Check out photos of her artwork. Warning: some of it is NSFW...

Well, Hive, we did it—we got married! And now that we are far away from the internet on our epic Disney honeymoon, I am reasonably safe from ridicule for what it is that I'm about to post.
That's right, I'm putting on some Gryffindor courage to share a big, embarrassing secret with y'all in a Secret Life of Bees post.
Deep breath. Here goes.
I…am a Harry Potter fan.
I know what you're thinking—"um, duh, we saw your invites"—but I don't think you quite grasp what I'm saying. I'm a Harry Potter fan. As in, fanatic. As in, borderline unhealthy obsession.
Unfortunately (well, okay, fortunately for my mental health) I'm not quite as obsessive as I was in high school when we were still in the thick of book releases, but I did dress as Hermione for a Halloween party…at work. Last year. As in, during the workday.
|yup, this is a 23-year-old // {personal photo}
I don't think I'm really getting the point across here, though.
For every movie release, I held an epic party at my house. We would take at least 20, if not more, people to the theater, in costume, and most of the girls would spend the night at my house afterwards. I would turn our kitchen into Honeydukes, complete with homemade chocolate frogs, cauldron cakes, and pumpkin pasties- one year we did root beer floats and called them butterbeer. When the first movie came out, we weren't able to pre-order tickets online (at least not for premieres) so my mom actually had to go to the theater in person to purchase 25 tickets (one month in advance). She was interviewed on the local news because she was the first person in line.
Nope, still not emphasizing the insanity here.
I was really, really into the online fandom. Like, really. Mostly as just a lurker, not really posting anywhere, definitely not a BNF. (Big Name Fan, for all you n00bs out there.) But I used to read the articles on the original version of Mugglenet, I followed the theory conversations on the boards over at The Sugar Quill (and was totally pulling for the One Big Happy Weasley Family theory even though secretly I knew, all along, that a Weasley would have to die.), I listened to the very first Pottercast, I waited in line at midnight to purchase books five, six, and seven and would not eat, drink, or sleep until I'd finished reading. I've never been to a Con (yet!!) nor have I met a BNF, but you guys…
I wrote fanfiction.
And it was on the internet.
And in the interest of full disclosure, I'll even give you my penname so you can try and hunt it down and mock me fully (if the crap stories even exist on the internet anymore):
Drezella Eleanor Winesap.
(Variations: Drezella_Winesap, Drez, drezwinesap, drezella)
*phew* Glad I got that off my chest.
Anybody else into internet fandoms? I've dabbled in other fandoms but nothing will ever be to me what Potter was. Please tell me I'm not the only weirdo here…

A.G. Schneiderman & NYPD Commissioner Kelly Announce 37 Arrests In Massive Organized Crime Takedown
Operation "Flat Rate" Uncovers Sophisticated Multi-Million Dollar Loan Sharking, Gambling & Extortion Rings
Arrests Include Members of Gambino Crime Family
NEW YORK – Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly today announced the arrests of 37 individuals on charges stemming from the operation of lucrative loan sharking and gambling activities closely controlled by the Gambino crime family.
A series of early morning raids conducted by Attorney General Schneiderman's Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) and the New York City Police Department's Organized Crime Investigations Division, capped a long-term investigation dubbed "Operation Flat Rate." Based on the evidence obtained in this investigation, the Attorney General's office secured five separate indictments from a Kings County grand jury, charging a total of 37 individuals on felony and misdemeanor charges. A full list of all charged individuals is included below.
"These arrests cripple a network of criminal enterprises and the organized crime family they supported," Attorney General Schneiderman said. "The partnership between OCTF and the NYPD provided the skills and resources needed to bring the 37 individuals charged here to justice, and our offices will continue our work to dismantle these criminal ventures."
"Illegal gambling rings not only promote addiction and burden families with debt from usurious loans, but the proceeds from gambling and loan sharking are used to fuel organized crime and support harmful criminal enterprises," New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said. "I want to commend the New York State Attorney General's Office and the NYPD's Organized Crime Investigations Division for today's arrests."
The investigation used a number of resources including wiretaps, video and audio surveillance, GPS tracking, and bugs inside key locations to gather evidence. Surveillance was also conducted throughout the streets of Brooklyn, Staten Island, Manhattan, and New Jersey, where different aspects of the criminal activity unfolded. Some defendants would conduct business on street corners in an effort to avoid detection by law enforcement.
"Operation Flat Rate" was a long-term investigation into the alleged loan sharking and bookmaking activities of alleged Gambino 'soldiers,' or 'made' members, Vincent Romano and James Outerie, and alleged Gambino 'associates,' or 'non-made' members, Louis Lombardo, Louis Peteroy, Frank Esposito, Christopher Sorrentino and Nicolas Fulciniti, among others.
Throughout the investigation, intercepted conversations revealed the hierarchy and alleged criminal activities of the three related Gambino crime family enterprises. According to the charges, two illegal sports gambling operations were run through offshore wire rooms that handled wagers on college and professional sports, as well as horse races. According to the charges, these gambling operations generated millions of dollars worth of wagers.
The charges also assert that one of these three enterprises was a 'policy operation,' or an illegal playing the numbers scheme, in which bets were placed on the New York Lottery's Numbers and Win 4 games. In some instances, victims of the loan sharking enterprise would be required to place wagers on the numbers – all to finance the policy betting operation.
In three of the five indictments unsealed in Kings County today, 35 defendants are charged with Enterprise Corruption based on a pattern of illegal gambling and loan sharking activities. The Enterprise Corruption charge alone carries a maximum penalty of 8 1/3 to 25 years in prison.
Two of the Enterprise Corruption defendants, Mr. Esposito and Mr. Sorrentino, along with two other defendants, were also charged in the fourth indictment, which alleges the extension of a usurious loan and the use of extortion to collect weekly interest payments. The fifth indictment charges Michelle Valente with Conspiracy in the Fourth and Fifth Degree.
"Operation Flat Rate" was conducted by Supervising Investigators Paul Grzegorski and Arthur Schwartz, and Senior Investigator Brian Fleming under the supervision of OCTF's Eugene Black. The investigation was conducted along with New York City Police Department Detective Biagio Santangelo of the New York City Police Department's Organized Crime Investigations Division, under the supervision of Sergeant Brian Reicht and Lieutenant Jack Iocouvou, and under the overall supervision of Inspector Brian O'Neill and Organized Crime Control Chief Anthony Izzo.
The cases are being prosecuted by OCTF Assistant Deputy Attorney General Laura Kirschstein under the supervision of OCTF Deputy Attorney General Peri Alyse Kadanoff, under the overall supervision of Executive Deputy Attorney General for Criminal Justice Nancy Hoppock.
The charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in the court of law.
The defendants charged today as a result of five separate indictments from a Kings County grand jury are:

KeywordHarmful algal blooms; HABs; Genome sequence; Ecogenomics; Metaproteomics; Eutrophication; Aureococcus anophagefferens
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) cause significant economic and ecological damage worldwide. Despite considerable efforts, a comprehensive understanding of the factors that promote these blooms has been lacking because the biochemical pathways that facilitate their dominance relative to other phytoplankton within specific environments have not been identified. Here, biogeochemical measurements demonstrated that the harmful 43 Aureococcus anophagefferens outcompeted co-occurring phytoplankton in estuaries with elevated levels of dissolved organic matter and turbidity and low levels of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. We subsequently sequenced the first HAB genome (A. anophagefferens) and compared its gene complement to those of six competing phytoplankton species identified via metaproteomics. Using an ecogenomic approach, we specifically focused on the gene sets that may facilitate dominance within the environmental conditions present during blooms. A. anophagefferens possesses a larger genome (56 mbp) and more genes involved in light harvesting, organic carbon and nitrogen utilization, and encoding selenium- and metal-requiring enzymes than competing phytoplankton. Genes for the synthesis of microbial deterrents likely permit the proliferation of this species with reduced mortality losses during blooms. Collectively, these findings suggest that anthropogenic activities resulting in elevated levels of turbidity, organic matter, and metals have opened a niche within coastal ecosystems that ideally suits the unique genetic capacity of A. anophagefferens and thus has facilitated the proliferation of this and potentially other HABs.
