They want you to use a right triangle to express the inverse tangent functions in terms of x.
Like so
It can also be done algebraically.
Find an algebraic expression equivalent to the given expression. (hint : use right triangles)
a. sin(tan inverse(^-1 it says in paper) x)

The evolving role of supply chain and operations managers
Editor's note: The role of supply chain and operations management professionals is constantly evolving. More and more, these leaders are being asked to take a prominent seat in the C-suite in order to deliver aggressive performance goals and help guide informed decision making across the business. Here, Brian Meadows and Herb Schul of Americas Advisory Supply Chain and Operations at Ernst & Young share with APICS magazine managing editor Elizabeth Rennie how supply chain and operations management leaders can learn to drive business growth; guide corporate strategy; create standard processes on a global level; and, ultimately, optimize the potential of the supply chain.
This shift is being driven by a few different factors. Traditionally, supply chain and operations management professionals were responsible for satisfying the needs of a myriad of customers. This required the management of hundreds of different processes and decisions, many of which had been outside the person's control.
As organizations look to become leaner and more agile, it's imperative to understand how strategic organizational changes will affect the customer. Making cuts without an agenda focused on your customers' expectations could make it more challenging to keep these customers. It is the insights of the supply chain and operations management professionals that can ensure business decisions are being made using operations to guide better, smarter, and faster decision making across the organization.
If a failure does occur, these professionals are seen as being responsive, aware, and proactive. Ultimately, proactive, predictive feedback should become part of their modus operandi. This type of effective communication can help drive the decision-making processes and ensure that supply chain and operations management professionals not only have a seat at the table, but also a voice.

What a way to be…."awakened"…..
Put them back!
Fritzi will need a few more frogs, but here's dinner.
From: "THE HOUSE OF CHAN COOKBOOK"
by: Sou Chan
Doubleday & Company, Inc., Garden City, N. Y.
Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 52-5543
Copyright, 1952, by Sou Chan
1 pound large frogs' legs, cleaned and chilled
1/4 pound Virginia ham
1 or 2 egg whites
2 or 3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Oil for deep frying
Break and remove bone of each frog leg.
Cut ham in very slender sticks and insert in each leg in the bone cavity.
Beat egg whites slightly, mix with flour and seasonings.
Dip frogs' legs in this, then fry in deep hot oil till light golden and crusty.
Serve hot with soya sauce or Plum Sauce (see recipe below).
4 or more servings.
PLUM or "DUCK" SAUCE
1 cup plum jelly
1/2 cup chutney (Major Grey type) chopped very fine
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
Beat all together smoothly.
Serve with Egg Rolls, Fantail Shrimp, Lobster, Barbecued Spareribs, Chinese Roast Pork, or almost any dish. 4 servings.
This sauce and Hot Mustard Sauce are usually served in two small dishes, with Egg Rolls and other favorites.
I thought collecting frogs was a boy thing, but then again, my sister caught one as a kid.
However, Nancy has been refreshed by Guy Gilchrist, and isn't like some of the tired strips that have been clogging newspapers for decades.
Peanuts comes to mind. It should have been buried with Sparky Schulz. We don't have a new cartoonist drawing new Peanuts strips.
Mary Worth, Rex Morgan, M.D., Apartment 3-G and "Prince Valium" (as he was spoofed in "Spaceballs") all clog up newspapers that are too conservative to get rid of junk strips that should have been retired decades ago.
Alley Oop isn't near the caliber that it once was.
While I understand your point, "Peanuts" is one of the few comics I know that is actually worth seeing again. Some of them bring me back to when I was a kid in school, and I remember where I was, and what I was doing.
Well what did you expect Nancy to do with them, hang them up? Lucy & Shellby are a nice surprise, eh Fritzi?
Prince Valiant has some of the best artwork I've ever seen in a comic strip! It's like looking at a new painting every Sunday. And most newspapers today have printing presses that are able to reproduce the colors in register, with no blurring. How is that "clogging up" the paper? If you don't care for it, just pass it by.
@Ashburn stadium
The comics are light hearted fun to read ,better than reading about all the violence that goes on around the world. if you don,t like them why do you read them.
I love the up-swirl of Fritzi's curl in the last panel
My local paper dropped many of the older strips long ago, but I'm glad I found them online because I like the ongoing story lines. I DO wish they'd move a little faster. Showing my age, they bring back memories of childhood. It's harder to relate to some of the newer strips. To each their own.
I have some of the same thoughts as ashburn but agree just not read them. I choose my comics here do not take a news paper and I do choose to have Peanuts on my daily list.
One more thing Ashburn if you do still buy a paper have you not noticed that there in not much left to Clog up as you say LOL been about 5 years that I quit the paper. When they got late getting it here and shrunk the size and raised the price it was gone LOL
Froggie went a courtin—lol—

It wouldn't be another day on the calendar without some iPhone rumors.
Yesterday, I told you about AT&T supposedly considering tiered monthly data plans. Today, it seems that some loose-lipped Apple insider has spilled some glossy, white, not-so-far-fetched beans about the next version of the iPhone.
The folks over at AppleiPhoneApps say they received their server-meltdown-enducing information from a source, "closely connected to Apple's hardware development team," so as always, get the saltshaker ready. While we've been hearing about some of these specs for some time, the more cosmetic changes (illuminating Apple logo, rubber-tread backing, etc.) are fairly new. As is the release date, which the source alleges will be July 17.
Here's the full list:
• 32GB and 16GB to replace current capacities
• $199 and $299 price-points to be maintained
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• Video recording & editing capabilities
• Ability to send a picture & video via MMS
• Discontinuation of the metal band surrounding the edge of the device
• OLED screen
• 1.5X The battery life
• Double the RAM and processing power
• Built-in FM transmitter
• Apple logo on the back to light up
• Rubber-tread backing
• Sleeker design
• Built-in compass
• Revolutionary combination of the camera, GPS, compass, and Google maps to identify photo and inform about photo locations.
• Turn by turn directions
AppleiPhoneApps also has a detailed breakdown of all the specs if you feel like exercising your speculation muscles.
As Wired points out, the inclusion of OLED screen will most certainly kick up production costs and presumably the phone's price tag, even though analysts have said that new iPhones carry about one-third the production cost of what they used to, which was one of the main reasons AT&T and Apple were supposedly considering lowering service plan prices.
Once again, time will tell on this one. In the meantime, though, any specs missing from that list that you think might be on the way for the next iPhone?

If you've ever blamed a bad mood on low blood sugar, you're onto something—being "hangry" (hungry and angry) is a real thing.
Researchers from The Ohio State University and the University of Kentucky put it to the test with married couples, measuring their blood glucose levels daily for 21 days and having them secretly stick pins in a voodoo doll of their spouse each evening (up to 51 pins at a time, depending on how peeved they felt). Those whose glucose levels ranked in the bottom 25% stabbed more than twice as many pins into their "spouse doll" as those in the top 25%.
At the end of the 21 days, the couples came into the lab to play a computer game against each other in separate rooms. The winners could blare an unpleasant noise at their partners, as loudly and for as long as they wanted. Once again, people who had lower average levels of glucose were more aggressive, willing to blast their mate at a louder volume and for a longer time than those with higher levels.
RELATED: 29 Days to a Healthier Relationship
"Glucose gives the brain the energy to exercise control," explains lead study author Brad Bushman, PhD, professor of communications and psychology at Ohio State. When you're hungry, glucose levels drop, making it harder to rein in hostility.
To keep bickering with your partner to a minimum, "the next time there's a sensitive issue to bring up, discuss it over dinner rather than on an empty stomach," Bushman advises. You'll have a happier belly—and maybe even a happier relationship.

Professor Albert H. Munsell (1858-1918) Author of
A Color Notation
and the
Atlas of the Munsell Color System
Professor Albert H. Munsell
Professor Munsell was born in Boston, Massachusetts on January 6th, 1858 and died June 28th, 1918 at age 60. Author of
A Color Notation
(1905) and the
Atlas of the Munsell Color System
(1915). Both an artist of distinction and a gifted teacher of art, he developed the first widely-accepted color order system to make the description of color accurate and convenient and to aid in the teaching of color. The Munsell color order system has gained international acceptance and has served as the foundation for other color order systems.
Albert Munsell founded the Munsell Color Company in 1917. Later, in 1942, the Munsell Color Foundation was formed by the company to promote the advancement of the science of color. Ultimately, the Munsell Color Foundation led to the founding of this laboratory, the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, in 1983, at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Unfortunately, no good photo of Professor Munsell is available. In 1998, Munsell graduate student Doug Corbin restored the photo from Munsell's book,
A Color Notation
. The details of the procedure appeared in the February 1999 issue of Color Research and Application. Doug has provided the following information pertaining to this restoration:

Hot Sell Wood Pellet Machine in European Countries
The flat die design was the first design of pellet mill to emerge at the beginning of the 20th century. Pellet mills were originally focused on the animal feed industry, and this was the case up until the 1970's, when the first experiments producing wood pellet fuel were conducted. However it is only within the last decade that wood pellet fuel has been taken seriously as a heating option, due the rising costs of oil and gas, and their effects on global warming and climate change.
Our Flat die pellet machines are generally used for pellet production on a small to medium scale. The flat die pellet mills can process a wide range of biomass materials, for a range of applications. These include wood, straws, grasses and other biomass residues.
Summary of Flat Die Design
Flat die pellet mills are the simplest design of pellet mill, and as such have certain advantages. Flat die pellet mills work on a vertical design, using gravity as the main force for feeding the material through the machine. Flat die pellet mills have a horizontal die, with a series of rollers above the die. As material falls in from the top, it is compressed between the rollers and die.
Biomass is simply any form of organic matter which can be used to produce energy. This obviously includes wood, and wood waste, however it also includes agricultural residues such as straws and grasses. Another growing biomass energy area is purpose grown energy crops such as miscanthus, switchgrass and hemp. All of these biomass materials can be converted into biomass pellets.
Pellet Making
Making pellets is a skilled process, it needs the right equipment and operator knowledge. To produce quality durable pellets, the material must have a certain moisture content, and the necessary binding qualities. Lignin is the natural binder contained within all biomass. However some materials during pellet production require an additional binder.

P.S. 22 Children's Choir Performs Touching Whitney Houston Tribute of 'The Greatest Love of All'
Whitney Houston touched so many lives across generations with her music and passionate performances, which is why we're still looking for that ultimate tribute that can truly pay homage to the iconic singer. We may not have found the most epic one of them all, but we've certainly found the most touching performance by the children's choir PS22 from Staten Island.

The beautiful play of colors seen on soap bubbles is due to the extreme but variable thinness of their films and is an illustration of the interference phenomenon known as Newton's rings. If at any part the film becomes thin enough a black spot appears. Touching this black spot causes the bubble to break instantly, although in its thicker portions the film can be pierced by a needle without losing continuity.
A single bubble will always try to form a sphere because this shape, as proposed by Archimedes and proved by Hermann Amandus Schwarz (1843–1921) in 1884, is the minimal surface enclosing a single volume. The spherical form is a direct result of the action of surface tension. For a long time, mathematicians believed that the minimal surface for enclosing two separate volumes of air is a double bubble separated by a third surface, which meets the other two along a circle at 120° and is flat if the bubbles enclose the same volume and, otherwise, is a spherical surface that bulges a little into the larger of the two. The double bubble conjecture was finally confirmed by a team of four mathematicians in 2000.
Another great bubble mystery that has recently been solved is why the bubbles in a glass of Guinness appear to sink rather than rise. Bubble's that rise, like those in a saucepan or those breathed out by a diver, are a familiar sight and easy to explain: gas bubbles are lighter than liquid and experience a buoyancy force that drives them up toward the liquid surface. But many of the bubbles in a glass of Guinness can be seen heading downward. Researchers have found that large bubbles in the center of the glass move upward relatively quickly and drag liquid with them. Since the amount of liquid in the glass stays the same (unless someone drinks it!) the liquid moving upward near the center must eventually move back down near the walls of the glass. This downward-moving liquid has a dragging effect on the bubbles. Larger bubbles are more buoyant than smaller bubbles, and continue to move upward. Smaller bubbles (less than 0.05 mm in diameter) aren't buoyant enough to resist this drag force, and move downward with the liquid near the sides of the glass. Since Guinness is quite opaque, and these downward-moving small bubbles are close to the side of the glass, it often looks as if almost all the bubbles are moving down.

My favorite weddings are laid-back celebrations that involve the great outdoors, break the mold, and are filled to the brim with personal meaning. I find the greatest joy in truly getting to know my couples, laughing with them, and showing up on the wedding day as not only a photographer but as a friend.
"Kati is not only amazingly talented but is also down-to-earth, kind, and genuinely LOVES her job.
Kati is a natural behind the camera (makes you feel so comfortable!) and photography is most certainly her calling.
I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a hard-working, enthusiastic, creative, detail oriented photographer." – Alex Wadley, bride

For release: Friday, October 27, 2006
Researchers have shown that a form of vitamin B3 is beneficial in mice with a disease similar to multiple sclerosis (MS). Although standard doses of the vitamin would not be potent enough for long-term treatment of MS, the findings could be a step toward developing effective drugs against the disease.
Zhigang He, Ph.D., a neuroscientist at Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston, led a research team that tested the vitamin nicotinamide in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Like MS, the mouse disease occurs when the body's own immune cells target the myelin coating around nerve cells and destroy the axons, wire-like sprouts that carry electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another. Dr. He and his team found that mice treated with daily nicotinamide injections had a slower, less severe course of EAE compared to untreated mice.
Dr. He, who was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, said he conducted the study to develop a novel way to treat MS. Most existing therapies, he said, involve the use of immunosuppressant drugs to weaken the immune system – an approach limited by negative side effects, including increased susceptibility to infection. He hoped nicotinamide might work from the other end of the disease, strengthening axons against the immune system's onslaught.
Ursula Utz, Ph.D., a program director in the NINDS Division of Extramural Research, commented that Dr. He is at the forefront of a positive trend in MS research. "It's important that researchers have started focusing on the neurodegenerative aspects of MS, and not just exclusively on immunomodulation," she said.
Dr. He previously had observed that levels of a compound called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) appeared to correlate with the health of axons grown in a laboratory dish. Cells make NAD – a key player in cell metabolism – when they are supplied with nicotinamide.
In this study, published in the September 20 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience,* Dr. He and his team triggered EAE in mice by injecting them with a protein component of myelin, which makes up the insulation around axons. They noted that NAD levels in the spinal cords of the mice dropped as the disease progressed.
When the mice were given daily subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of nicotinamide from the time of EAE induction, their weakness developed more gradually and was less severe than in untreated mice. The spinal cords of treated mice contained more surviving axons than those of untreated mice. They also had less inflammation (a build-up of immune cells) and more intact areas of myelin, suggesting that nicotinamide might have direct effects on the immune system and on myelin-producing cells.
Finally, Dr. He found that nicotinamide given 10 days after EAE induction, when symptoms have already appeared, had similar protective effects on the strength and neuroanatomy of the mice. Dr. Utz said this was the study's most encouraging result, since there are many drugs that slow EAE in mice when given before the onset of symptoms, but then fail to work against MS in people, who don't seek treatment until after symptoms appear.
Unfortunately, nicotinamide was effective only at high doses in the mice, and an equivalent dose in humans would be impractical and possibly unsafe. Moreover, even during continuous daily treatment with nicotinamide, NAD levels mysteriously tapered off as EAE progressed in the mice.
To make an end-run around this problem, Dr. He induced EAE in mice carrying a gene that enables them to convert nicotinamide into NAD more efficiently. When those mice were given nicotinamide daily, their NAD levels remained high, and their EAE symptoms were suppressed more effectively than in mice without the extra gene.
This is important evidence that it's possible to enhance the effects of nicotinamide, said Dr. Utz. "We might be able to find other agents [besides nicotinamide]…that target the NAD pathway and could be used at a lower dose in patients with MS," she said.
It's too early to know whether nicotinamide itself would be beneficial for people with MS. Still, Dr. He said he hopes to collaborate with clinical researchers to conduct a trial of short-term nicotinamide to treat the "relapses," or periodic flare-ups, characteristic of MS.
"The nature of this treatment is to prevent axon degeneration, so what I imagine is that we could provide short-term treatment for acute phases of the disease," he said. "Once the inflammation [during the relapse] is over, the axons will still be there."
Both Dr. He and Dr. Utz have cautioned against taking nicotinamide for MS until researchers know more about its mechanism of action and its effects in people.

Onalaska Marching Band scores big at Florida competition
While the Badgers played their bowl game out in Pasadena on New Year's Day, a local marching band took its talents to Florida.
The Onalaska Hilltoppers Marching Band returned Wednesday evening with a police escort from a competition at the Outback Bowl.
They won eight trophies and two plaques while competing against 17 bands from across the nation.
In fact, they placed in every event they competed in. "They looked so good out there and I was just so proud, my eyes welled up and it was just a great moment," said Drum Major Emilee Bergman. "This was definitely the icing on the cake, and it was an amazing way to end the season, so I wouldn't have ended it anyway else or with any other band," said Drum Major Riley Mason.
The band has been practicing since last June and actually debuted their show at a Packers game.

1) -I thought my Phone Connect sounded great but 4 people are getting an echo when they talk to me. Is there a setting that can correct this? Anyone had this happen? Thought it was just happening when calling a cell phone but it occurred with a land line in the same area.
I have the phone volume set very high but don't see how that would effect the other end talker.
2) - When attempting to make a call, it frequently will not go through giving error message that the number is invalid- check the area code, when the number is correct. Redial usually goes through except for one number that is valid. something wrong but what?
Whoop, I have the same problem!!
I had an online chat session with Sprint where the agent updated my phone software remotely. I was able to make a call to a previously unconnectable number but the echo didn't go away. The unit was replaced at point of purchase but no success yet for clear conversation. Taking it back WITH a land phone so they can test it. I was really thrilled with this device; now very dissapointed in performance.
Received this in email but don't know where it is posted in the forums:
"Sprint is looking into these reports. Will everyone who has experienced echo on the Phone Connect please post the specific make and model of the phone that is being used here on this forum so that engineers can test, thanks!"
I have 4 days left of warranty so it would be better for me to know the make/model of phones that don't get the echo so I can test before my 14 days are up.
Hi guys, yeah I tried to post that info there but I think I accidentally deleted my post somehow. Take 2...Action.
Sprint is looking into these reports. Will everyone who has experienced echo on the Phone Connect please post the specific make and model of the phone that is being used here on this forum so that engineers can test, thanks!
Example: Panasonic PX100 Cordless Phone
Location 1:
1) Western Electric. The Trimline Phone Bell System Property Not For Sale.
2) Uniden. 900 MHz. cordless phone.
3) Radio Shack, Model 43-5018; this won't even dial out.
Location 2:
AT&T Answering machine/phone combo. can't state the model at this time as it is 40 mi away.
Please, what phones do not get echo?????
I powered my unit down for 15 minutes and then powered back on. The echo seems to have gone away. Maybe a firmware issue. Waiting to see if the fix is permanent.
I agree with you ... I think there are firmware updates being pushed. When I first setup my SPC, i had really weird DTMF issues, where if I called a number where they wanted me to make key presses, you would press a key, and you would hear an extended DTMF. This forced you to push numbers slowly otherwise they would overlap.
I powered down the device last night, and powered it back up, and now those issues are gone ...
After spending close to 4 hours at Sprint point of purchase, they have decided that the echo at recipients end is a network issue and are going to work on it Mon-Tues.
I wanted to try Phone Connect with a different number but did not want to lose my ported home phone number. However, I figured out how to do that in that the existing home /ported number can be ported into Google voice system then Sprint can assign another number to my account to see if that solves the problem.
Problem is that when the number ports, it will cancel my account with Sprint unless agents are aware of the porting and my intention to keep Sprint with new number. Can this be done?
We are also having the echo problem. We have a Panasonic KX- TGA0600B cordless. I will try powering down the unit to see if that helps as described in previous posts.
Good information everyone! Sprint is working on a fix for this. More information to come. I hope that the experience is resolved soon.

The echo has been identified as a network issue and I'm still waiting for the fix after 2 wks. I'm about to pull the plug because no one wants to talk to me. Plus I'm having other issues like Voicemail says there are 3 saved messages but I can only listen 2 one.
Did you happen to port your land line phone number to the Sprint Phone Connect?
why cant i use a phone card???? it will go through but when i put the pin it aint working.... i use my neighbor house phone (notsprint) it works perfectly!!! Sprint u guys should atleast let us use a phone card to call international!
I'm having the same problem (as well as others on this discussion). I noticed many saying they have a Panasonic wireless handset, including me. I switched out the Panasonic wireless with a Sony "hardwired" handset. THE ECHO WENT AWAY. I tested this several times with a Net 10 cell phone, it worked. I also have an At&T cell. It experienced the echo but not as severely, but even this mild echo went away when I switched the Panasonic with the Sony. It may be that the difference is wireless vs hardwired handset that makes the difference, not necessarily Panasonic vs Sony. Sprint service - please try this and confirm. Would appreciate it.

|A Fortune Teller at a Stansfield View Hospital Gala ,Todmorden:197?
.An old isolated Victorian workhouse that was converted into a Mental Hospital.
Pretty grim.Now demolished. This week I came into possession of a 2 hour DVD of old 8mm film shot there in the 1960s&70's.The first 20 minutes i include here (more to follow) Who knows,I may find myself if I look hard enough.They say The Past Is Another Country.......More Like Another Fucking Planet! This video perhaps illustrates the need to mark out a community territory.A shared order....however fleeting.....beating a boundary . You know,
Reading this wikipedia page ,it seems that the origin of the term/concept of "Gangs" derives from this English tradition of "Beating The Bounds"
"The custom of 'Beating the Bounds' has taken place in a variety of forms in Britain for over 2000 years. Its origins have roots in many different cultures from across Europe and beyond. In essence it involves local inhabitants perambulating their farm, manorial, church or civic boundaries, pausing as they pass certain trees, walls and hedges that denote the extent of the boundary to exclaim, pray and ritually 'beat' particular landmarks (or even young boys) with sticks. The ceremony might also involve the blessing of crops or animals and the inspection of fences....{Read More}

Now things make a lot more sense, yes.
Really? Things are so comically non-sensical around here that I took what was posted in stride. This adds a nice touch, but evidently I filled in the gap correctly enough.
"Makes sense". Three Steps Over Japan, you just might have been reading this strip too long. LOL
Thanks Steve. Your strip is an absolute hoot. There are zillions of us who absolutely love it.
Still not much for a cow to eat in that cart. A bale of hay would have been nice, but of course they don't carry that at Costco
Worth the wait! Thanks Steve
Great strip, Steve.
Thank you, Steve
Hey, don't forget the dip, Chicken.
Winter burro? I thought he doesn't show up in the strip for a few more months…
Can't wait for the book Steve!
Chicken's question isn't half dead.
No, groundhog, the Call Of The Wild iz a book by Jack London . . ☻
Frog – I think that is Donkey Hotez older brother, who took the fall . . . ☺
Somehow I missed that the Costco had been robbed. I was wondering what I was doing wrong all these years that the three of them could afford all that food from Costco and I can barely afford a bottle of the wine my wife loves so much.
I want a Jumbo CheesePak. I don't remember seeing those. They probably would have been more comfortable if they had found a Volkswagen to cram themselves into.
Hey now… finding a phone booth is no easy task. But then again, that's how urban legens are born. "BTW… anyone have a quarter? Got to make a call to Pearl." Oh my! The legend grows.
At least in a phone booth they won't be disturbed.
(So what is it, a gopher or a groundhog? Make up your mind, Steve.)
Steve I will most absolutely, positively buy that book!

Tagged: blown amp s-12
This topic contains 9 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by email@example.com 3 years, 11 months ago.
March 13, 2011 at 3:04 pm #218
Hi all,
I have owned an S-12 for several years and have loved it. Recently, I was having issues with my HT receiver with speaker channels dropping off. At this time, the S-12 stopped working, so I figured it was a receiver issue.
I just replaced the receiver with a Marantz 5004, and am still having issues with the S-12. I am getting very very low output from it. If I crank the knobs on the S-12 all the way to the right, and max the subwoofer output settings on the receiver, I can barely hear some output on the S-12.
I read about a test here on the forum, and have performed it. I hooked a CD player directly to the S-12 and again, can hear some output, but it is low volume. I also took an MP3 player and hooked that up, again with the same result. However, it is louder than what I am getting through the receiver. Should the output be a lot louder? I did use a couple of tracks that have a lot of low frequency.
Any advice would be greatlyt appreciated, since I am looking forward to finally having a fully operaitonal Home Theater once again.March 15, 2011 at 2:31 pm #1546
Hello there,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with the sub. If you are getting only a little bit of sound out of the S12 with a CD player hooked up directly to it and the level knob maxed out then it sounds like their is indeed a problem with the amp. When the level knob is up all the way on the sub it should pretty much be ear splittingly loud.
If you have had it for several years it is probably out of warranty as the sub amp warranty is three years, but if you give us a call at 888-880-8992 we can sell you a replacement amp at our cost.
I hope that helps, thanks!March 18, 2011 at 11:32 am #769

Thanks for the help Jason.
My pleasure, I hope you continue to enjoy the S12 for many years to come!October 15, 2012 at 5:17 pm #3711
Dennis or Jason H,
I have the same issue and also need a replacement amp for my S12 sub. I'm told Aperion has stopped making this model and I can't get the make/part# to find the correct replacement amp. Did either of you retain this information?October 17, 2012 at 1:50 pm #3716
Hello there,
That amp was a proprietary design so there isn't a universal part number that you could use to get the same amp from another supplier.
It was a 250 watt class A/B amp so if you find an amp with that rating and the same plate dimensions as the S12 amp then that should do the trick.
The real challenge is finding an amp plate the right size. The amplifier for that model was 10.5″ by 10.5″.
This one is close, but is a bit too tall at 12.5″
However if you drilled some pilot holes it may work. I have not tried it myself so I can't make any guarantees as to how it would turn out. If you do order it, make sure you get the version without the remote control since you wouldn't be able to use it to control the sub without installing the extra plate with the infrared sensor.
I hope that helps but please let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!October 17, 2012 at 3:13 pm #3717
You might try this one:
It's approximately 10″ x 10″, 250 Watt class A/B amp and might fit OK in your sub. I used the previous model of this amp in a sub I built and it works well.October 17, 2012 at 7:05 pm #3718
Thank you for the suggestions. I'll check them both out.December 23, 2012 at 11:10 am #3802
Did you ever get a replacement amp that worked? I also have a S-12 that has a blown amp and would like to fix it.December 25, 2012 at 9:38 pm #3803
Sadly, it keeps moving down my things to do list, which gets longer by the day. I'll be sure to post a follow-up once I finally get this done and let you know how it works. Good luck with yours.

Heritage Bank & Trust in Columbia, Tenn., has hired a veteran Tennessee banker as its new president and chief lending officer.
Ben Rudd, a former city president for Farmers and Merchants Bank in Trezevant, Tenn., joined the $115 million-asset Heritage on Tuesday. At Farmers and Merchants, Rudd was responsible for Bolivar, a town in southwestern Tennessee, for more than a decade/
Rudd succeeded Paul Watson, who resigned this summer. Rudd brings "a vast knowledge of the banking industry and a depth of experience in financial service and product delivery, combined with outstanding leadership skills," Jim Robinson, Heritage's chief executive, said in a press release.
Heritage, which was formed in 2005, operates two branches in Columbia.

No state is more synonymous with basketball than Indiana, so it's only fitting that one of the college game's best rivalries features Indiana University and its neighbors at Purdue. Separated by just over 100 miles, the two Big Ten stalwarts have mined the state's prodigious high school talent for many of their most revered stars.
Among those icons is Hoosier guard Steve Alford, who led the 1986-87 IU squad to a national title. That Indiana team only suffered four losses for the entire season, but one of them came in West Lafayette in one of the best-played games in the century-long history of the series.
Read on to find out how Alford figured in that defeat, along with all the rest of the stars, games and moments that have defined the Big Ten's greatest rivalry.

A lot of new faces have come into the AL Central as well as a pretty good number have left. Most of them do not look exactly the same which is what all managers and GM's are looking for in the future. Since most of these infields did not play together as one for a majority of last season, it will be interesting to see how a very newly competitive division will unfold throughout 2011.
I will put down a ranking, 1-5 for each team's infield. Each team will be ranked by each position specifically and on their overall speed, defensive ability, hitting for average, hitting for power, and experience.

AJR 100 "GAAP bill" Passes the State Assembly
On Tuesday, with a bipartisan vote of 69-25, AJR 100
passed the Assembly. AJR 100 is a constitutional amendment
that will require generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) to be used for the state's biennium budget. AJR 100
is currently in the State Senate scheduled for a public
hearing. If the bill passes the Senate this session it will
have to clear both chambers again next session before a
statewide vote can begin to amend the state constitution.
The GAAP deficit has decreased for the first time since
2004. Passage of AJR 100, which requires GAAP to be used for
budgeting purposes, promotes honesty, transparency and sound
fiscal budgeting. It is important that AJR 100 moves forward
so Wisconsin citizens can vote in a referendum to require
the state use the same accounting principles required for
schools, local governments and public companies.
The bill history of AJR 100 can be found
Bad News Budget: IL Gov. Quinn to call for prison, health care
Last year in Illinois, Governor Pat Quinn confronted a
$13 billion deficit, including $6 billion in unpaid bills to
social service agencies, schools and contractors. His
solution to the problem included raising
income taxes by an unheard of 67 percent, and borrowing $3.7
billion to fund the pension system.
This fiscal year Gov. Quinn faced $9 billion in unpaid bills
and delivered a budget proposal this week that slashes
Medicaid funding, closes two prisons, shutters state
facilities and cuts to most state agencies. That's on top of
a $83 billion long-term deficit in the state employee
pension accounts.
Fortunately, Wisconsin confronted its budgets problems
without massive taxes hikes and cuts to employment. We are
also addressing our long term budget obligations (e.g. AJR
100). We are seeing two distinctly different paths to
prosperity from the Great Recession. Illinois is addressing
their problems with tax hikes, while Wisconsin charts
another course.
Did you know that
Illinois has one of the highest corporate tax rates in the
country, because it requires businesses to pay an additional
2.5 percent "personal property replacement" tax on top of a
7 percent base corporate tax rate. Illinois legislators like
to point out that they have a lower corporate tax rate, but
they neglect to mention this additional tax.
In January, Moody's lowered Illinois' credit rating, giving
the Land of Lincoln the lowest rate of any state in the
country, including California. There is no state worse when
it comes to a bond rating than the state of Illinois. In
contrast, Moody's called (Wisconsin's) budget credit
positive. It is an amazing contrast just a few miles apart.
An excellent summary of the budget solutions between
Illinois and Wisconsin is provided below by the co-chair of
the Joint Finance Committee, Robin Vos (R-Rochester).
Wisconsin state lawmakers erased a $3.6 billion budget
deficit when we balanced our state budget. We increased
Medicaid funding by $1.2 billion in our last budget. We paid
off our old bills and our bond rating is strong. Plus, we
held the line on taxes. The school tax levy is down for the
first time in six years and property taxes statewide saw the
smallest increase in 15 years. We put forth reforms that
will help the state and municipalities balance their budgets
for years to come.
Here in Wisconsin, by the end of the
session, the Assembly will have been on the floor for more
days than each of the last two sessions. During that entire
time, we've focused on job creation. It's estimated 57 jobs
bills passed in our chamber this session with several more
still to come. Plus, it's been a bi-partisan session with
96% of roll call votes including Democratic or Independent
votes. We're setting the right priorities as we pay our
bills, keep our budget in balance and pass job creation
incentives. We're proving that Wisconsin means business.
Additional commentary can be found here in an excerpt from a recent Chicago Tribune
article, titled, Down and out in no time at all.
"Our state is no Greece. But its problem of excessive
debt and an unwillingness to deal with it sound positively
Hellenic to us. The endgame has yet to arrive for Illinois.
Despite its credit-rating downgrades, financial markets have
not given up on it — yet. But if public-pension and retiree
health care costs continue to balloon, and if Illinois keeps
failing to pay its bills, brace yourself for the day of
reckoning and Greek-style sacrifice. Remember that no sacred
cows were spared in Athens' debacle."
article along this theme from the Wall Street Journal is
titled, The Greece Next Door: Illinois gets a credit
downgrade, in contrast to Wisconsin.
On a similar note, U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), a
ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, revealed that
the per capita government debt of U.S. citizens is worse
than those of Europe's most economically troubled countries.
When can I expect my refund?
Since this tends to be the most popular constituent
inquiry, this question is at the top of the list.
Constituents can check on their refund 24 hours a day, seven
days a week by visiting our
website or calling the automated refund line.
Automated Phone Line: 866-WIS-RFND (866-947-7363) or (608)
Due to taxpayer confidentiality laws, DOR is not able to
provide status information directly to your office without a
privacy waiver from inquiring constituents. The easiest and
fastest way to provide status information to your
constituents is to use the online refund status tool.
Remember, e-filing reduces the wait time for refunds from
weeks to a few days.
Where can I get forms?
Visit DORs "Forms" page for more information by clicking
here. Individual income tax forms and
instructions are also available at public libraries
throughout the state.
Over 80% of Wisconsinites e-filed their income tax return
last year, and that trend will likely increase in 2012. In
response to the overwhelming preference for e-filing, DOR is
only mailing forms to those who request them. If your
constituents do not have Internet access or the ability to
visit their local library, they can request a form to be
sent to them by mail by calling (608) 266-1961 and selecting
option 5.
Is help available?
Yes! DOR's helpful videos are available anytime on our
website. Our Customer Service Bureau is also available
to answer individual tax questions by phone at (608)
266-2772 or via e-mail at
What about in-person assistance?
DOR provides taxpayer assistance (which does not include
form preparation) across the state at our regional offices
located in Appleton, Eau Claire, Green Bay, Madison,
Milwaukee, and Wausau. For hours and locations, click
here. DOR staff will also provide taxpayer assistance at
the Janesville Public Library on February 21, March 5 & 19,
and April 2 & 16 from 9:00 A.M. – 2:30 P.M.
If your constituents need assistance preparing their income
tax returns, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and
Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs have locations
across the state. VITA/TCE sites help low-to-moderate income
residents, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities
prepare their tax returns for free. For a VITA/TCE site
nearest your district, call 211 from anywhere in
Wisconsin. Taxpayers should check with the VITA/TCE site
prior to arriving to ensure that they will bring all of the
relevant documents needed to prepare their return. Also, if
married and filing jointly, both spouses must be present.
What's new for 2011's tax return?
Some key changes created by the Legislature this session
in effect for the 2011 tax year include:
Health Savings Accounts (2011 Wisconsin Act 1): Wisconsin
now conforms to the federal tax treatment of health savings
accounts (HSA). Eligible individuals may claim a deduction
on their Wisconsin income tax return for contributions to an
HSA. If the contribution is made by an employer (or pre-tax
through an employer's cafeteria plan), the amount of the
contribution is excluded from the employee's wages. The
maximum contribution for 2011 is $3,050 for individuals and
$6,150 for families. A $1,000 "catch-up" contribution is
allowed for individuals age 55 and older.
Deferral and Exclusion of Capital Gains Reinvested in
Wisconsin Businesses (2011 Wisconsin Act 32): Wisconsin
taxpayers may defer taxes on long-term capital gains if the
gain is reinvested in certain Wisconsin businesses. Other
capital gains from investment in qualified Wisconsin
businesses, as certified by the Wisconsin Economic
Development Corporation, are excluded from taxation when
held for at least five years and when meeting other
conditions. More information is available
Adult Children Health Insurance Exclusion (2011 Wisconsin
Act 49): Employer-provided health insurance benefits for
adult children under age 27 are now excluded from a parent's
gross income for state tax purposes, consistent with the
federal treatment of these benefits.
Red Cross Tax Checkoff (2011 Wisconsin Act 32): Taxpayers
may now make a voluntary donation to the American Red Cross
for Wisconsin disaster relief via the new income tax
Why is the deadline later this year?
Due to April 15 falling on a Sunday this year and
Washington, D.C.'s observance of Emancipation Day on April
16, the regular deadline to file 2011 individual income tax
returns is April 17, 2012.
Constituent Corner
Below are items for you to promote and share with your
Privacy Waiver for Constituent Cases: Privacy laws protect
the confidentiality of taxpayers. However, sometimes
taxpayers request that their Legislator work with DOR on
their behalf. Constituents must complete a privacy waiver
form before DOR can speak to a Legislator about their
private tax situation. This form is available at:
http://www.revenue.wi.gov/forms/misc/a-270f.pdf . Please
note, this form is not required if DOR speaks with the
taxpayer directly in response to your inquiry.
Guide for Property Owners: DOR's Guide for Property Owners
provides information about property taxes, including the
assessment process, definition of commonly used terms, and
the appeals process. The Guide is a great resource to share
with your constituents when responding to property tax
questions and is available online at the following link:

Jonathan lived in America's biggest city in New York, and just by the numbers you would guess the 36-year-old from New York would find someone reasonably local. But Jonathan was willing to go the distance, and that distance took him all the way to the Rio Grande.
Gabi is 32-years-old and lives near the Rio Grande in Texas. She and Jonathan made contact on CatholicMatch, and spent weeks exchanging messages, and moving to online chats and texting messages. "Finally…I booked a flight so we could meet face-to-face," Jonathan recalled.
The eight-day trip Jonathan took could not have been better. "Our conversation flowed easily and the chemistry between us was strong," he told CatholicMatch. "We recognized that our faith in God's grace and words prepared our hearts to engage in a mature, loving and understanding relationship with each other."
Jonathan eventually returned home, and the couple is moving forward with renewed commitment to their long-distance relationship, and Gabi has plans in place for a visit to New York City.
No one can say with certainty where this special path in their lives will lead, but today Jonathan and Gabi are enjoying growing in friendship and faith together.

What is in this article?:
- New record for New Mexico pecans
- China matters
New Mexico pecan growers are reporting optimistic harvest numbers now that pecan season has wrapped up in nut-studded Doña Ana County.
While the official numbers are not in yet, New Mexico pecan growers are reporting optimistic harvest numbers now that pecan season has wrapped up in nut-studded Doña Ana County.
What was forecast to be a robust 2013 crop estimated at 60 million pounds of in-shell pecans is turning out to exceed just about all expectations. In a straw poll of nut producers last week, most said the pecans harvested this season sold quickly and they estimated there is a 15percent to 18 percent increase over early expectations. If that number holds, it would make this season's 75 million pounds of in-shell nuts the largest since 2007 when 74 million pounds were harvested.
According to a recent report, the larger-than-expected crop comes at a good time for pecan growers across the Southwest.
For information on Southwest crops and livestock, please check out Southwest Farm Press Daily and receive the latest news right to your inbox.
Thanks to a robust nationwide 2012 crop harvest of just over 350 million pounds, wholesale nut prices not only dropped but buyers were able to place large amounts of in-shell nuts in cold storage to release throughout the year.
Farm bill changes updates available.
Pecan production runs on an alternating on-year off-year production cycle, meaning production is up one year and down the next, a growth cycle that is rarely interrupted. While growers across the nation, except in New Mexico, experienced an 'on' production year in 2012, just the opposite was expected for 2013. New Mexico farmers were the only growers in the nation expected to have an on-year for 2013.
Early estimate of the total 2013 nationwide pecan crop harvest was projected to be only around 230 million pounds of in-shell pecans. Retailers reported that by the time the Thanksgiving holiday hit in 2013, just about all the 2012 cold storage reserves had been used up and early 2013 nuts harvested were on grocery shelves in large numbers by Christmas.
The massive harvest in 2012 was not without setbacks, particularly flooding the market resulting in wholesale price drops. The over-supply of in-shell nuts drove both wholesale and retail prices down to a low of around $2 a pound (wholesale) and to $6 to $7 a pound (shelled retail) at some U.S. stores by Christmas of 2012.
In contrast, while cold storage nuts kept prices down the first half of 2013, by the holiday season prices were headed up again because of steady demand and a much smaller expected 2013 crop—but not as high as the peak period of 2011 when wholesale pecans were going for as much as $3.70 a pound wholesale.
In contrast, at the peak of the 2013 holiday buying season, wholesale prices for in-shell pecans ranged from $1.20 a pound for smaller nuts to as high as $3.30 a pound for high meat-yield varieties. The average price per pound fell somewhere in the middle of that range.

Visionary game designer Jane McGonigal reveals how we can harness the power of games to solve real-world problems and boost global happiness.
More than 174 million Americans are gamers, and the average young person in the United States will spend ten thousand hours gaming by the age of twenty-one. According to world-renowned game designer Jane McGonigal, the reason for this mass exodus to virtual worlds is that videogames are increasingly fulfilling genuine human needs. In this groundbreaking exploration of the power and future of gaming, McGonigal reveals how we can use the lessons of game design to fix what is wrong with the real world.
Drawing on positive psychology, cognitive science, and sociology, Reality Is Broken uncovers how game designers have hit on core truths about what makes us happy and utilized these discoveries to astonishing effect in virtual environments. Videogames consistently provide the exhilarating rewards, stimulating challenges, and epic victories that are so often lacking in the real world. But why, McGonigal asks, should we use the power of games for escapist entertainment alone? Her research suggests that gamers are expert problem solvers and collaborators because they regularly cooperate with other players to overcome daunting virtual challenges, and she helped pioneer a fast-growing genre of games that aims to turn gameplay to socially positive ends.
In Reality Is Broken, she reveals how these new alternate reality games are already improving the quality of our daily lives, fighting social problems such as depression and obesity, and addressing vital twenty-first-century challenges-and she forecasts the thrilling possibilities that lie ahead. She introduces us to games like World Without Oil, a simulation designed to brainstorm-and therefore avert- the challenges of a worldwide oil shortage, and Evoke, a game commissioned by the World Bank Institute that sends players on missions to address issues from poverty to climate change.

Las Cruces Senior Center Reopens Wednesday
The Las Cruces Fire Marshal has authorized the re-opening of Munson Center operated by the City of Las Cruces. Munson Center provides meal services and recreational opportunities to senior citizens in the community. The center has been closed since January 7 due to the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas inside the building.
City staff was allowed back into the building Tuesday afternoon. "Recreational activities will resume as normal Wednesday with a resumption of food services on Monday, January 28," said Lori Grumet, Senior Programs Administrator.
The center was closed after higher-than-normal levels of CO were detected. The primary source of the gas was from the building's boiler system, which is used to heat the facility. Outside engineers and a representative of the company that manufactured the boiler fully inspected the system and made additional adjustments.
During the time the building was closed, the range hood inside the kitchen was cleaned and serviced and the vent motor was replaced as a preventative measure and to ensure proper ventilation of the cooking appliances.
Through the remainder of this week, Dial-a-Ride patrons who normally dine at the center will be transported to the Eastside Center, 310 N. Tornillo St.
Patrons who drive themselves will be served at the Benavidez Center, 1045 McClure Rd. or the Eastside Center.
Munson Center is located at 975 S. Mesquite St. in Las Cruces.

Mapping of the binding domains of the Newcastle disease virus phosphoprotein in PL and P(NP-RNA) complexes
Abstract number: P767
Jahanshiri F., Yusoff K., Abdulah J., Abdul rahim R.
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an avian pathogen which affects the poultry industry worldwide. Outbreaks of the disease known as Newcastle disease (ND) often result in mass culling of the infected chickens. NDV has also oncolytic activities against human malignancies which lead to tumour apoptosis and cell death. Besides that NDV can serve as a viral vector to express and deliver foreign genes which is useful in vaccination and gene therapy. To identify the mechanisms involved in NDV pathogenesis as well as its anti cancer properties, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the transcription and replication of the virus is of fundamental importance. One way to characterise such mechanisms is to identify the involvement of the viral proteins and their interacting partners. It has been shown in other paramyxovirues that the phosphoprotein (P) plays a central role in the transcription and the replication of the viral genome. Together with the large (L) protein, it forms and stabilizes the active RNA-dependent RNA polymerase complex. It also mediates the interaction between the L protein subunit of this complex with the viral nucelocapsid (NP-RNA) template comprising a nucleocapsid tightly bound RNA genome. Employing a yeast-two hybrid system the presence of P-L interaction in NDV was investigated. However, due to the low expression level of L protein yeast, no interaction was observed. Therefore, an in vitro co-translation approach was carried out to identify P-L interaction. The result showed that NDV P protein is also involved in the stabilisation of L protein. To identify the presence of NDV P(NP-RNA) interaction and the involved domain(s), co-immunoprecipitation was performed. Purified NP:-RNA template along with in vitro translated P or its derivatives were separately co-immunoprecipitated using anti-His antibody. The results revealed that the immediate N-terminal of P protein is involved in its interaction with NP-RNA template.
In conclusion, the current study has delineated the key interacting partners of NDV P. This knowledge will be useful for structural and functional exploration of this protein.

It's the big Channel 4 TV success of 2013 (until Black Mirror starts tonight, obviously). But Utopia, a cross between Pulp Fiction and Tideland, a political pharmaceutical thriller set in the urban and rural landscapes of Britain, uses the script to a graphic novel sequel as its big MacGuffin.
When I saw the first episode last month, I asked about the comic at the heart of the show, and was told it was an internally produced mockup, it didn't exist in any form other than the few pages or panels we'd seen that showed off a plot point here or there.
Well, that seems to have changed.
Alongside the release of the upcoming DVD and Blu Ray of the series, a comic book version of The Utopian Experiments has been realised.
There will only be a very limited edition released however, and in March we're planning to give copies away, to coincide with the DVD release. Above, is the cover…
