XTP Systems
Jeremy Shaffer
Design Engineer
"The XTP System solution for AV distribution over twisted pair was the best fit for this project. The comprehensive initial training, combined with the many integrated capabilities of XTP reinforced the ease of use and benefits provided by this system."
Marco Tang
Director of Sales
"The XTP System continuously delivers extremely high switching and transmission performance for the wide variety of digital and analog video formats used."
"We selected Extron's XTP System to fulfill the request for an AV solution that was compatible with the latest digital devices while also supporting legacy laptops."
Ryan Poe, CTS-D, CTS-I
Senior Engineer
"Extron's XTP solution was a perfect fit for our customer who was upgrading their legacy analog system to digital. The online design resources made the quoting process simple and the feature set made it an easy sell to the customer, especially the ability to upgrade and adapt over time. The integration of the system was trouble-free and our commissioning time was about half of what it normally is for similar installations. Successful projects like this give our team the confidence to continue using Extron products, including their newer technologies."
Ingo Haneklaus
IT Support
"It was vital that the new AV system be as dependable as the Extron-based systems we had in other buildings; but, this one also had the unique requirement of needing to work in multiple divisible spaces."
Martin Waverley
"The XTP System provides the high performance that's needed without detracting from the sophistication of Avnet's Executive Conference Room."
"The decision to standardize on Extron is due to a number of factors, not least of which is our long experience with the reliability of the products and Extron's outstanding customer service."
Alessandro Vella
Project Manager
"The XTP System was an ideal choice for its ability to maintain signal integrity over long distances and transmit video, audio, power, and also device control with just one twisted pair cable."
Stuart Allen
"It is simply awesome!"
Raymond Ng
Project Manager
"For this new shopping complex, the client placed system reliability and product quality at the highest level; therefore, we installed XTP products from Extron."
"Only Extron's solution could support the transmission requirements and also work within the limited space and challenging environment of the control room."
"Vega is committed to providing only the best products and services to our clients so for V city it had to be Extron's XTP products. We highly recommend our clients use Extron; a brand we trust."
Arron Alt
Federal Channel Manager
"After many years of supporting the EPA, Mission Electronics has a strong relationship and understanding of their needs and how they would be using the new AV systems. Extron's XTP met or exceeded their expectations in each room of the new headquarters building."
Jose Bejar
IT/AV Support Services
"Before, when a presenter asked if they could show slides on the center projector, have diagrams or blue prints on one of the side displays, and cue up a video clip to run on the other, the answer was no. With Extron's XTP System, sending different types of content to any combination of the displays is quick and easy."
Brian Peters
Lead Field Installer
"The XTP System operates smoothly and reliably, and its many features such as sending RS-232 and providing remote power over twisted pair cable, helped reduce installation time. XTP control passes through seamlessly under the hood, and the capability of the XTP CrossPoint to remotely power each of the XTP transmitters and receivers over twisted pair minimizes the footprint of the endpoints."
Mr. P.K. Yu
Business Development Officer
"Extron's XTP Systems can be used for any environment. Its ultra-fast routing makes the XTP the best choice for our classrooms."
Scott Strong
Project Manager
"From a project management standpoint, the tight schedule for such a large installation had me worried. But, with XTP, our onsite engineer needed only a few days to have everything commissioned in time for the move-in."
"The XTP Systems met the needs in each room and were easy to install."
G.R. Malik
"The XTP System serves as the heart of a complete, centralized AV system for the Mathura Road campus, making source switching and video collaboration seamless and effortless. Deploying the system was quick and easy."
Wolfgang Pechmann
Sr. Project and Installation Manager
"It just works!"
Louis Nicholas, CTS
"We have recently deployed two XTP Systems. The software interface was easily laid out and very intuitive for our technicians to use for setup. There were no hiccups with the hardware. These installs reminded me a lot of the easy Analog days."
Robert Murray
Director of System Engineering
"When William Beaumont Hospital and the Tyner family built a state-of-the-art Instructional Hybrid Operating Center for Cardiology they wanted to match the Learning Center with the same type of technology. National Communications Corporation teamed up with Extron to provide just that. We used XTP as the core of the signal transmission teamed up with a Quantum Elite Video Wall Processor and various other Extron devices to distribute audio and video to both the OR Viewing Room and the Instructional Classroom. Beaumont uses the system to train surgeons from all over the world in the latest cardiovascular medicine. Extron played an instrumental role in the planning phases and was available all the way through the installation process, providing excellent support and knowledge, both onsite and off. The ease of integration and reliability of the equipment is why we chose to work with Extron on all of our projects."
Gianluca Papa
System Design Engineer
"The modularity and scalability of the XTP System allowed us to create a completely digital AV distribution system that fully supported our needs for switching of HD video formats with accompanying audio. The ability to accommodate local connectivity and remote locations via twisted pair transmission allowed us to route all signals through the XTP CrossPoint with additional flexibility for breakaway audio switching within the system."
Lawrence Lee
"The XTP System switches between video formats with quickness and stability. The large offering of input & output boards gives flexibility for customizing system applications while minimizing the number of unused ports. The ability to output directly from the XTP CrossPoint over just one twisted pair cable saves cable cost and eliminates the need for additional transmitters, thus reducing required rack space too. XTP transmitters are great, as they can be powered remotely from the XTP CrossPoint and their small size makes for easy installation. This also makes them convenient for any interior design."
Shawn Pun, FMP, CTS
Project Manager/Designer
"We often encounter cable distance challenges in AV designs with need for matrix switching of digital video signals. For these projects, the XTP System offers the best option. Its expandable, slot-based inputs and outputs offer great flexibility, and the twisted pair transmission capability allows us to overcome the distance challenges. As always, Extron products perform well."
Seon Chan
Managing Director
"Extron XTP Systems has given the industry a long-anticipated, future-proof solution for AV designs with digital signal distribution requirements. Our first XTP System was proposed and implemented last year in the Macau at Bank of China – Macau Branch. The Client stressed the demand for a highly reliable system that could be expanded upon for expected use over many years. The 4K readiness and modularity of XTP frames provided the exact product to address their needs. System deployment was easy with no requirement for complicated configurations. The outstanding and always reliable technical support offered by Extron throughout the design and installation phases gives us additional peace of mind when it comes to specifying XTP Systems into future AV projects."
Paris Orrison, CTS
Audio Video Design Engineer
"I had the pleasure of using the XTP switcher on a project recently and I cannot say enough about this excellent Extron product. It was great that I did not need to use vital Ethernet ports from my PoE switch to power the transmitters and receivers. The switching was fast and EDID was a breeze to setup. That was a relief, as this can be tricky on some other digital switches. It was a great solution that addressed all the needs of our client."
Stephan Bergmann
Project Manager
"We'd been successfully installing Extron equipment for years so we were already familiar with the high quality and reliability of their products. Extron's XTP System had the capabilities and flexibility we needed in the university's new facility."
Ian Wilks
Operations Director
"We had a very short time frame to design the system, and get all the equipment in place, installed, commissioned, and ready for staff. This went extremely smoothly, but there is always that element of keeping your fingers crossed and hoping. Throughout the Olympics, the XTP was foolproof. It didn't skip a beat."
"This was a new product so it wasn't something that we had specific experience with, but we felt that the XTP would fit the purpose."
"We had a constant flow of celebrities, VIPs, and world media. The pressure to get things right was intense, and we were dedicated to keeping the AV side of things running smoothly. I was pleased to find out how easy the XTP System was to install, configure, and operate. The 'works out of the box' capability makes me much more confident deploying it in this type of application."
John McKenney
Director of Operations
"Video Dynamics has been successfully integrating Extron's XTP technology for over a year. We've learned to appreciate the value of a solution that not only reduces video, audio, and control to a single twisted pair cable which can be cut to length and field terminated, but also allows simple, yet highly customizable implementation of an EDID strategy, and successfully bridges the gap between legacy analog systems and newer digital technologies. The XTP solution also provides convenient endpoint control and system monitoring."
Brendon Packwood
Campus Interactive Technology Specialist
"For the TEAL classrooms, we decided on the XTP product line because of its capability to handle a diverse range of signals and also power endpoints over long distances using a single CAT-type cable."
"We needed a solution that would allow us to easily connect and matrix five flat panels, a projector, and 26 unique inputs, and the Extron XTP line of products allowed us to do this with ease."
Bob Morin
Sales & Engineer
"We were asked recently to design and install a Team Building Room for a higher education client. We selected the Extron XTP System over other solutions because of the routing flexibility it offered to meet current as well as future functional switching requirements. Installation and setup of the switch was relatively simple. What few questions we did have were quickly addressed by Extron Support remotely accessing the box to check that all settings were correct. With simplicity of cabling and connection, transmitting video, audio, control, and power over twisted pair with the XTP switch is the way to go."
John Voelkl
Director of Engineering
"Extron XTP Systems provide digital signal solutions to my clients while continuing to support their analog sources."
"The Extron XTP scaling receivers allow us to output signals that match the native resolution of displays in the system, providing our clients with consistent, pristine image quality."
"Extron XTP Systems set up quickly with the simple to use XTP Configuration Software."
"Extron XTP Systems provide the tools needed to easily solve the complex problems that can arise during integration and commissioning. Setting up EDID couldn't be easier."
"Extron XTP training has given me the tools needed to design, quote, and integrate XTP Systems with ease and confidence."
Ritchie Boyd
Academic Technology Specialist
"We needed a solution for a technology-rich, Active Learning Space on campus within a reasonable budget, while maintaining a high level of functionality. Extron's XTP Systems were the answer."
Chris Russell
Sr. Systems & A/V Engineer
"Thank you very much for all your assistance with THE POWER OF PHOTOGRAPHY: National Geographic 125 Years exhibit. Your expert Sales team has taken great care of us from proof of concept to public opening. The great attention to detail was second to none, ensuring that every piece of Extron equipment was a proper fit for my system design. This exhibit is one of a kind and I must say that Nat Geo is amazed that we can show their fine art photography from a digital video platform."
Dirk Macalpine
Senior Systems Designer
"The XTP System gave us ways to test and program other equipment by using the network patching when testing the whole room solution. Setup was easy and the system has worked flawlessly since the installation."
Eric J. Marshall
Business Development Manager
"Thanks to the XTP System we were able to equip all the classrooms in a new college building project with Extron AV systems. The computer lab required a large matrix system to accommodate five displays and 28 inputs. The XTP System not only fit for the matrix capability but also gave us additional benefits, such as a centralized location to connect control, support for local inputs at the teaching desk, and the ability to send video, audio, and control over one twisted pair cable. It also turned out to be nice to send Ethernet since the original design did not include drops at the displays or input locations. Extron's support, as usual, was fantastic throughout the entire project, although it wasn't needed much since the system was so simple to install and configure."
Michael Stark
Project Manager
"Extron had the equipment we needed, and they worked with us to create an environment that encourages collaborative learning and research at the university level."

IEEE 802.11ac Stories April 22, 2014
IEEE 802.11ac Stories July 25, 2012
Broadcom just announced its next round of portable device wireless chip, the BCM4335, which includes the ability to connect to the superfast 802.11ac networks. Apple exclusively uses Broadcom chips in this family for its iOS devices (and a different family for its Macs). The current iPad and iPhone use the Broadcom BCM4330 802.11a/b/g/n baseband/radio with integrated Bluetooth 4.0+HS and an FM transceiver—and the xxx5 is just a minor step up.
We found some code that indicates the next iPhone will use the Broadcom BCM4334, which adds the 40nm process and Wi-Fi Direct capabilities (perhaps opening some Airdrop capabilities too).
The 40nm chip will continue to deliver Bluetooth 4.0 and FM, but its 802.11ac networking could save some power using the new standard. It also features the "industry's most advanced idle power consumption performance, which significantly extends a mobile device's battery life."
Sample chips are already available with a full production expected to be delivered in Q1 2013, just in time for next year's iPads.
The press release follows: expand full story

Discussion in 'General Pro Player Discussion' started by Andres, Mar 28, 2010.
Outright scary.
And then, kicking it over your head....
.... with a flat serve...
freak of nature
He should do body serves more
That clay one probably took a bad bounce, but yes, Karlovic's serve is the best.
rofl most of these players don't even try on their return games against karlovic.
ivo gets an ace and the receiver just slowly walks to the next court thinking "eh, another one of these BS serves..."
one dimensional player, i love it how these big servers dominate people with their serves, but come against fed and he outaces the crap outta you
I love this camera angle.
Having been one of the only people here to return a pros serve, I can say that it's much harder than it looks. I returned Magnus Larssons serve on grass about 8 years ago, and not just once, for a set... I was playing this doubles expo, and I asked him to serve like he would against another pro against me, and holy ****, there's literally no time to react, not to mention the sucker served to my backhand everytime, I couldn't even get in position for a slice.
I got great high speed video footage of Ivo yesterday on the practice courts at Miami. His serve is scary.
Checked out your site and some of the vids. Nice interesting site, man. Giving a shout out props..
^^Thanks. I'll be posting more vids soon (Fed, Nadal, Gonzo, Murray, Isner, Roodick, Karlovic, Querey, Henin, Wozniaki, Fish, Dent, Tipsarivec, Venus, Wawrinka, Ferrero, Hantuchova, Azarenka, etc)
where's the site drak?
Excellent! Love seeing these guys techniques and how good they are.
The utube link in his sig...
oh, ok, thanks
u r welcome. Pretty cool site....
Ivo should do this more often:
A LOT of aces.
Stepanek must have nerves of steel to get aced 78 times and still win lol, that's 3 sets worth of aces basically
I love you!!!!!
^^LOL, Love you too. I'll begin posting one or two every few days. Being there is such an interest with Ivo, I'll post his tonight.
3 sets, one game and 2 aces
How good can the serve be? He loses most of the time.
Kmen is out of his mind.
I'll bet plenty of people here on the board have returned serves going into the 130's.
For sure, I've faced KevinCurran's and JoaroSoare's serves for two sets, and lived to tell about bagels and breadsticks.
And plenty of 5.0's to 5.5's who are taller than 6'5" x210lbs can serve right there.
Big serves are great to have, great to play against, for sure, but it's the skill level in addition to the big serve that makes one a great tennis player or a big server only.
Key is usually to PROLONG your service, so you tire out the big server, get him to huff and puff, so his serve gets less effective.
as promised, here is one of the videos I took this weekend of karlovic serving:
it might seem that way but i can assure you they do try. it's just that ivo's serves are too good.
that is scary !
Phew ! that went right over Verdy's backhand side. Nothing he could do about it.
No, he doesn't. He in fact has won a majority of the matches he has played, both this year and overall throughout his career.
Thats was quite funny
Here's a question which might be slightly off topic, but:
Is there more time to react to a 200+ kph serve in tennis, or more time to react to a 300-400 kph badminton smash...? I'm wondering which sport is faster.
Maybe Haas shouldn't try moving the ads around to try and return serve 50 feet back, lol. I remember Haas saying he didn't like playing him because all he was is a serve, but hey, you have to find a way to beat every player you play, whether they have a big all around game, big forehand, or just a big serve, you have to find a way to beat them.
Hmm... I'm not sure you can compare them that way.
You can "react" fast enough in tennis but you may not be able to move your racquet fast enough or get to where you need to be in time.
In badminton, the smash effectiveness depends on where it is hit. I would rather return a fast smash from full court as opposed to a slow tap from on top of the net...
Haha well I'm talking about a smash all the way from the baseline of course. I wonder... I actually think badminton is even quicker than tennis in this resepct.
Thing about Karlovic is his serve seems to be all genetics (height). Overall, his mechanics are not one to copy for maximizing your serve.
This vid of Karlovic at Queens shows the serve better.
it still kinda scares me how the record for the fastest ever second serve (which is held by ivo) is 147 mph
And lots and lots of practice.
Most of the time, a full court smash is not a winner. There is a drastic slow-down once the feathers snap open again. Now if you used a shuttle with banged-up feathers or a nylon shuttle, then yeah you can crush those to the floor without the thing opening up...
Drakulie owes me a new pair of boxers
people in here underestimate how pro tennis is played what a shame
yah they think anyone could become a pro.
But that doesn't mean it's slower than tennis or anything right? For all we know... it could just mean that badminton players have insane reaction speeds...
I play competition badminton and tennis I can tell that it is easier to respond a badminton smash because you just have to put that 85g stick on the shuffle and it goes back into the court. In tennis you have to handle that 330g stick and get that ball to bounce back in the court
Hmm... but how competitive is your badminton play? I'm talking about reacting to 300+ kph badminton smashes. Not slow at all!
I've played with Chris Adcock and a few other top professionals and former pros and I would say that the standard of my badminton is pretty good. The smash that gave me the most trouble was probably that of David Lindley, a former professional mixed doubles player. For a small guy he can really hit a shuttle - I'm not sure if I've ever seen a shuttlecock or indeed anything without an engine travel that fast before.
Whilst the shuttle does slow down a lot after it is hit, that doesn't matter if you couldn't react to the smash fast enough to get it back. I would say (it's my personal opinion that) it's more difficult to get to a fast and steep badminton smash but once you do manage to get there, it could be slightly easier to guide over the net than a Karlovic serve purely for the reasons that at this point, the shuttle might be a little slower than the tennis ball and if Karlovic served to me, I know that I'd be hitting it well over shoulder height which would make it difficult to do anything with even if I did guess correctly and go the right way. If Tan Boon Heong (fastest recorded unofficial smash speed) or Fu Haifeng (fastest official smash speed) were to hit a smash to my side of the court, I believe I'd have great difficulty returning it also simply because it would hit the ground so quickly but if by some miracle I did manage to get to the shuttle (which would have come off the racket at around 260mph if we're talking fastest ever recorded kind of speed), I think that I'd probably be able to lift it back. Of course, that lift would undoubtedly be hit through the floor with another super fast smash or they'd simply play a tight drop as I struggled to recover from returning the initial smash. This I suppose is a similar scenario to if I managed to return "The Doctor's" serve, the return would be crushed back over for a winner anyway.
I remember that serve, it was in the four set tiebreak and it was the fastest serve Karlovic hit in that match:141 mph.
this guy has a really big serve.. imagine how easy life would be to own a serve like that...
Ah alright. Thanks for your explanation!

For me, in the end, the choice was really quite simple. The institutions of the nation that have not worked for some time fell into further decrepitude in recent decades, and especially in the past eight years. The institutions that sort of hung on - most notably the separation of powers and Bill of Rights provisions of the Constitution - took a huge hit under Bush, although in truth they didn't do all that well under his recent predecessors. But the past eight years have been a sea change, and a huge amount of damage has been done. And so for me Obama's relative inexperience was a huge plus factor. My hope is that he's not fallen so in love with "the system" that he'll hesitate to root out large segments of it. He's obviously got the brains, and the character. Does he have the will?

While last year the retail email holiday season began on Sept. 6 with a holiday reference in a Sam's Club email, this year's holiday email season has already begun. Hallmark kicked things off with a reference to holiday ornaments in an Aug. 14 email and KB Toys followed up last week with emails about the "Season's Hottest Pre-orders."

Attack Of The Killer Bs
by Loren McDonald on Aug 29, 1:30 PM
No, not those killer bees. These Killer Bs are a nasty swarm of words used by marketers who haven't caught on that marketing by email has evolved from its earliest days. Whenever I hear someone toss a Killer B around in conversation, I know I'm talking to someone who still sees email marketing as a one-way channel, pushing a single message out to as many people as possible. Permission, segmentation, targeting and relevance don't matter to them. We can't completely change marketing until we change the words we use to describe it, raising some to prominence and mothballing others.

7 Dirty Words In Subject Lines: No Such Thing As Can't
by daniel.c , Melinda Krueger on Aug 28, 2:00 AM
f you're like me, you may have been confused by the recently published article,"The Seven Dirty Words You Can't Say in Email Subject Lines (Plus 100 Others You Shouldn't Use, Either)." Not being a deliverability expert, I put out the bat signal to my discussion group, the Inbox Insiders "Since your spam score is a composite of many factors," I asked, "a word in your subject line, while contributing to your score, isn't enough to affect your deliverability. Or is it?"The experts weighed in.

The Welcome Email -- Your Chance To Make A Positive First Impression
by Whitney Hutchinson on Aug 27, 2:00 AM
You never have a second chance to make a first impression. This holds true in our personal lives as well as our professional lives. And as marketers it definitely holds true with our relationship with our customers. So how does this idea of making a good first impression and molding and managing customer experiences and opinions translate into the email space? Two words -- welcome email.

Retailers Say The Dirtiest Things
by Chad White on Aug 23, 2:00 AM
Last week SubscriberMail released "The Seven Dirty Words you can't say in subject lines; plus 100 others you shouldn't use either, " a list of words you "should avoid" using in your subject lines because they are likely to get you blocked by spam filters. Looking at this list, I knew that major online retailers used at least some of these words -- and some of them quite frequently.

Why Email Marketing Is Like A Resort Vacation
by Loren McDonald on Aug 22, 12:00 PM
Last week at this time, I was relaxing poolside with a prickly pear margarita at our timeshare resort in Scottsdale, Arizona. All the time I was sitting there working on my Email Insider column, I kept seeing how my resort experience underlined some key email lessons.

Creating A Contact Strategy
by daniel.c , Melinda Krueger on Aug 21, 2:00 AM
Dear Email Diva: The agency I'm currently using seems to be finding it difficult (or lacks the desire?) to implement a contact strategy. We are left to using spreadsheets, plotting when emails are going out -- and to whom -- and estimating how many times we could be contacting one person on our database. Shouldn't it be straightforward to review email addresses and calculate the number of times that a person has been contacted -- and, from that information, delve deeper into their behavior?

How Do We Reach The Non-Listeners?
by Loren McDonald on Aug 15, 12:00 PM
I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been enjoying the discussion about email and its future ignited by recent debates among some of the titans in our industry. But now it's time to ask what more we can do to spread the word to people who are still using email marketing like it's 1999.

Roman Catholicism as an Example of Religious Tradition in England
Submitted by:
History: Religion

Report this Essay
In What Ways had Roman Catholicism been an example of both religious tradition and dissent in England?
Roman Catholicism was the traditional form of worship in England until the sixteenth century. The rituals and practices had been carried on year to year and the congregation accepted the authority of the church to impart the teachings of Christianity to them. The participation of the congregation in the service would, I believe, have instilled a sense of belonging into them. An account written by Roger Martyn (c.1527-1615) demonstrates a deep love of his church. He describes in detail the rich colour and detail of the interior of Long Melford church. One such affectionate description is of 'our Blessed Lady having the afflicted body of her dear son , as he was taken down, off the cross, lying in her lap, the tears, as it were, running down pityfully upon her beautiful cheeks'. (Reading 3.1, Wolffe 2008). In this description, he clearly demonstrates his total acceptance of the teachings of the church, and his love of it. He describes the roof as 'Beautified with fair gilt stars' which conjures an image of the beauty of the building. He even goes so far as to have a table from 'his' aisle 'decaying in his house in the hope that his heirs will repair and restore it one day'. This shows the extent of the love for his church and all its old traditions which would have been reaffirmed to countless generations over time. He also includes details of the service in fond terms.
That this stays in his mind over many years, shows that it was not just a love of a beautiful building that made such an impression, but the ritual of the worship and the importance of it within community life.
The imagery and content of the church could also be described as traditional. Roman Catholic churches contained detailed and ornate statues, rood screens and altars. Candles are used a symbol for prayers. The method of worship was something for the congregation and priest to...

Prime Minister David Cameron has unveiled plans to introduce DNA-mapping – in which 100,000 patients with cancer or rare diseases will have their details held on a national database – with a view to keeping everyone's DNA on record 'in the near future'. The move will raise great concerns among many people, and MP's, who are against such a database on the grounds of possible abuse. However, Mr Cameron believes it is a necessary move to help the NHS deal with problems; he said:
"By unlocking the power of DNA data, the NHS will lead the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better care. We are turning an important scientific breakthrough into a potentially life-saving reality for NHS patients across the country. If we get this right, we could transform how we diagnose and treat our most complex diseases not only here but across the world, while enabling our best scientists to discover the next wonder drug or breakthrough technology."
Controversy is likely thanks to the sensitive nature of the information involved. The latest reports into the system state that mapping the human genome will allow for personalised treatments, and there are plans for 100,000 patients to enter the database over the next five years.
Personalised Medicine 'For All'
The prospect of personalised medicine for everybody, thanks to the DNA mapping project, is very real, according to Sir John Bell, who as well as being a professor of Medical Sciences at Oxford is also an advisor to the government on the subject of genetics. He explained:
"The price of genome sequencing has been falling off a cliff. It has fallen by 100,000-fold in 10 years. We are headed for £100 a genome. That will happen in the very near future. Genetics is a key component of all common diseases. There is a possibility that this will help in a whole variety of ways including the use of new drugs."
The concerns from some consumer groups are that the information held could be sold, and it could lead to private medicine firms charging people for medicine in the event they become ill. The project is, therefore, bound to meet with resistance from human rights groups. However, it is easy to see where the benefits will be, and with personalise medicine a very real prospect those suffering from complex and rare illnesses may be willing to take advantage of the situation.

A Letter to the Right Honourable Theresa May & Andrea Leadsom MP
The Rt. Hon Theresa May MP, Prime Minister, 10 Downing Street, London, SW1A 2AA
Cc: The Rt. Hon Andrea Leadsom MP, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Defra, Nobel House, 17 Smith Square, London, SW1P 3JR
19th July 2016
Dear Prime Minister
May I firstly offer our congratulations to you on your appointment as Prime Minister; we wish you every success in this role.
I realise that you will have countless pressing issues in your first days as Prime Minister but, on behalf of the undersigned organisations which constitute 'Team Badger', I write to bring to your urgent attention the matter of the badger cull, and to respectfully urge you to instruct Natural England NOT to issue cull licences for 2016 and beyond.
On 12th July three of the country's most highly qualified experts with experience of badgers and bovine tuberculosis wrote to you to explain their science-based position of opposition to the cull, on the grounds that it is both ineffective and inhumane. Team Badger organisations understand that bovine TB is a serious problem for farmers, requiring meaningful action from government. But the verdict from the overwhelming majority of experts is that this is a disease spread almost entirely through cattle to cattle transmission and, as such, it can only be solved through cattle-based measures such as increased disease testing and enhanced on-farm biosecurity. Using badgers as scapegoats for this disease is failing farmers, as well as badgers.

(Special to the American Press)
Last Modified: Friday, October 26, 2012 7:02 PM
A state lawmaker's announcement earlier this week that he had gathered enough signatures to satisfy the first requirement to call his colleagues into a special section provides welcome news for the state.
Rep. Jerome "Dee" Richard, I-Thibodaux, said he and 38 other House members had signed a petition requesting a special session next month. State law requires that at least one-third of each chamber of the Legislature — in this case 35 members of the House — sign a petition requesting the special session.
At least 13 members of the Senate must sign the petition to then require mail-in balloting on the subject. If at least 13 senators concur, a majority of the members in each chamber — 53 in the House and 20 in the Senate — must return a ballot calling for the session.
Many legislators have become agitated over Gov. Bobby Jindal's decision to implement severe cuts in the LSU-run hospital system and close Phelps Correctional Center in DeQuincy and a state-run psychiatric hospital in St. Tammany Parish.
Richard said he wants the Jindal administration "to come to the table" to explain the reasons for the cuts and how those decisions were made.
The state's implementation of a voucher plan that allows students at low-performing school to receive stipends to pay for their tuition at private schools may also be revisited. Two members of the Louisiana Senate and Government Affairs Committee told The Monroe New-Star they believe state Superintendent of Education John White lied to the committee during his May confirmation hearing about his teaching experience and how schools that were applying to enroll scholarship transfer students would be vetted.
All of this is the first inkling of state lawmakers standing up and deciding to become an equal branch of government.
Quite frankly, they were run roughshod by Jindal and his administration during this year's regular session. If they didn't toe the line, they were punished in many cases. Other times, legislators who had the temerity to question the governor's agenda were stripped of their committee chairmanship or vice chairmanship.
Serious questions about how health care will be doled out at these whittled-down hospitals abound. The same holds true for the clumsy handling of vouchers and a new teacher evaluation system that apparently only White and a few of his Department of Education underlings understand and endorse.
On top of that, the governor has been conspicuously absent, save for a few cameos to take credit for economic development projects.
Jindal has been gallivanting around the country, stumping for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Republican hopefuls. Meanwhile, his administration is becoming known as one that pays no heed to legislators or residents' concerns and has made a mockery of transparency by invoking a mysterious "deliberative process" privilege to shield from the public's eyes how decisions that affect the majority of Louisiana residents coalesced.
To a degree, state lawmakers are responsible for ceding power to the Jindal administration. But that was then. This latest petition has the makings of at least long-overdue questioning of some of the governor's policies and at most, an all-out revolt.
The eyes of this state now turn to the Senate.
Who has courage? Start counting.

My DD absolutely LOVES the feel of this yarn. I needed to make her a scarf with her college colors since it's getting cooler there. She's mentioned several times that she'd love one in the Bohemian since it's so soft and feels so good. Well I haven't been able to find it at all and ran across some purple today in AC Moore. I bought 3 skeins which gives me about 200 yds. Any suggestions for a stitch pattern with sort of fuzzy, bulky yarn? I don't want to do regular garter or stockinette stitch but I don't think anything lacy will really show up with this yarn. The label suggests using size 11 needles. I looked on the Paton website and they only had 3 patterns using it ( and two of those are in books for purchase). I'm drawing a blank ...
I'd probably hate knitting with it since it's kind of like LB Homespun, but I bet it is soft! It wouldn't be worth doing a stitch pattern with it because it won't show up.

Here's a few ideas, but you may have to experiment a little to see if it's worth it to do an entire pattern with the yarn. http://knitcafebulletinboard.typepad.com/bulletinboard/reversible_cable_scarf/index.htmlhttp://www.straw.com/cpy/patterns/scarves/meringue-zigzag.htmlhttp://shelbyknits.blogspot.com/2005/04/bias-scarf-pattern.html
How about a drop stitch pattern? I had some similar yarn - kinda chenille-like that was very difficult to use in a "pattern" but looked nice with drop stitches. Worked up nice and quickly too! I think I did 4 or 5 rows in garter, then one drop and repeated it throughout.
Thanks for those links Jan - I love that reverse cable pattern for a scarf too - must try it with some of the odd yarn in my stash!
Thanks for all the suggestions! I love that cabled scarf pattern too! I played with it but have ended up going with altered sections of stockinette and gathered garter stitch. I'm really liking how it's turning out. Will take pics when it's done.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
September 19, 2011
The BC SPCA has earned an "A" rating for overall efficiency, donor stewardship and transparency in a recent survey of 100 Canadian charities by MoneySense magazine.
The magazine created Canada's first charity rating system to find out which charities scored highest in areas such as fundraising efficiency, governance and transparency, compensation and overall charity efficiency. With 76.1 per cent of all donations going towards its programs and services, the BC SPCA earned the highest rating of the Canadian animal charities surveyed. In addition to receiving an A grade in overall charity efficiency, the society received an A for fundraising efficiency (with a cost of $17.21 to raise $100), an A in governance and transparency and an A- in reserve fund size (with six months of reserve funds on hand).
"The BC SPCA is very conscious of our responsibility to use donor dollars wisely to help the greatest number of abused, injured and homeless animals," said Craig Daniell, CEO of the BC SPCA. "Our Board of Directors, staff and volunteers work extremely hard to ensure we steward our resources carefully and it is rewarding to see this reflected in the MoneySense survey."
Each year, the BC SPCA provides care and protection to more than 34,000 animals. Your gift can help give a homeless, injured or abused animal a second chance. Please donate today.

Former Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld will return to the Rebellion Racing LMP1 team this season.
The German has been announced as one of the team's six drivers for the 2013 season, which includes full-season World Endurance Championship and American Le Mans Series entries.
The Anglo-Swiss team has not announced the lineups for the two campaigns, but it is known that 35-year-old Heidfeld will take part in a full program of races on the Lola-Toyota B12/60. In 2012, he contested three races with Rebellion.
The team has also announced that Chinese driver Congfu "Frankie" Cheng will return and that Nicolas Prost has been retained for a fifth season. Heidfeld, Cheng and Prost will join Neel Jani, Andrea Belicchi and Mathias Beche, last year's European Le Mans Series champion.
"We are fortunate to benefit from a talented and experienced pool of drivers again this year; I'm convinced that they will all do a great job and work well together," Rebellion team manager Bart Hayden was quoted as saying by Autosport.
He also said that Rebellion will field second cars in the Sebring 12 Hours in the U.S. in March, and, subject to gaining entries, the first three world championship rounds up to and including the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.

Thanks, Dale
Hey, Good guess! We found the emissions routing tag on the fan shroud, and it is indeed a YCL. Same diagram as the one you posted.
Funny, my son's car has TWO PCV valves, one in each valve cover.... We just plumbed them together into the same vacuum port, and ignored the EFE and its related TVS, since we don't have the smog pump.
The "vac motor" that is mounted on the intake nozzle to the air cleaner housing connects to the heat riser built into the shroud on the right hand exhaust manifold with a flexible metal tube. (As shown on the diagram), but I can't find the EFE. I don't know what it looks like, but there aren't any other components left to hook up to.
Oh! Unless it is that metal valve in between the RH exhaust manifold and the y-pipe! That makes sense: it had some sort of vacuum device attached to it. I took that off and pitched it, since it was mostly frozen and half destroyed.
Well, I think that answers all of our questions: now we're off to finish fishing wires around the engine compartment, so we can try and start the new engine. Thank you SO MUCH for your help, Dale!

Woodrow Karey and Ronald Harris
Last Modified: Friday, November 22, 2013 11:26 PM
By Johnathan Manning / American Press
The 3rd Circuit Court of Appeal on Friday denied a writ requesting a bond reduction for Woodrow Karey, who is accused of shooting a pastor during a revival service in September.
Attorneys asked the court to lower the $1 million bond to $150,000, calling it "unconstitutionally excessive." The request was submitted Friday, and the court ruled on it the same day.
Karey has been in the Calcasieu Correctional Center since his arrest after the shooting death of Ronald C. Harris, pastor of Tabernacle of Praise Worship Center, on Sept. 27.
When state district court Judge Clayton Davis denied the original bond reduction request on Oct. 24, Karey had been charged with second-degree murder. But on Nov. 14 a grand jury declined to indict Karey on that charge and indicted him on the lesser charge of manslaughter.
Defense attorneys Todd Clemons and Adam Johnson plan to request a bond reduction under the manslaughter charge at a hearing on Dec. 18.
Authorities said Karey shot Harris twice with a shotgun and then turned himself in to authorities, repeatedly saying that Harris had raped his wife.
Karey's wife filed a rape complaint against Harris in the days before the shooting. Authorities said text messages between Harris and Karey's wife "corroborated to some degree" a relationship, but officials did not say whether it was consensual.

Title: Excessive.........?
No not excessive.......it's not like it took a CSI team to find this guy. It's not like he's not guilty. So he gunned him down in a fit of rage........too bad. One of the consequences of not being able to control your rage and gunning someone down in public is you get the privilage of sitting your ass in jail. Hopefully for the rest of his natural life.

Crumbs in the Crowder
According to the owner, Pawn Gallery decided to give Detroit artist Topher Crowder his first big Dallas show, "so he wouldn't start hacking people up with a machete," if that gives you an idea how edgy this guy is. Crowder's ink-on-paper images are huge on the wall but draw the eye into bottomless whirlpools of detail--a thousand comic book stories in a single frame. Like hyper-industrialized, decaying Detroit itself, Crowder's images break down into layers of odd gizmos and scurrying widgets, with sly references to everybody from Hieronymus Bosch to R. Crumb. The free opening reception for Enter Patient Zero, open to the public, is 7 p.m. Friday at Pawn Gallery, 2540 Elm St. The show will hang until July 28. Gallery hours are 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Thursdays and 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Call 214-682-1545 for more details.

The dwindling Arctic ice cap has launched an international race for control of northern waters: Russia, Canada, Denmark, and even China are hustling to expand their military presence, plant flags and eye those 90 billion barrels of natural gas under the cap. Now the U.S. Navy's getting ready for the thaw, with a strategic plan to maximize the U.S. stake up north.
The Navy's Arctic Roadmap (.pdf), written by the recently launched Navy Task Force Climate Change (TFCC), opens with an acknowledgment that worldwide temperatures are on the rise — especially up north. "The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the globe. While significant uncertainty exists in projections for Arctic ice extent, the current scientific consensus indicates the Arctic may experience nearly ice-free summers sometime in the 2030s," the document notes.
Then the Arctic Roadmap sets out a three-phase plan to secure U.S. interests in the Arctic. Because there's a lot at stake under that melting cap: energy reserves, transport lanes and potential territory disputes.
It's the latest in a series of efforts by the sea service to cope with climate change. Just last month, the Navy announced its intention to deploy "an energy-efficient 'Great Green Fleet' carrier strike group consisting of ships powered either by nuclear energy or biofuels with an attached air wing of fighter jets fueled entirely by biofuels," Military.com's Greg Grant reported.
One of the Navy's main goals in the warmed-up Arctic is international diplomacy and "cooperative partnerships." But amid rising military competition, the document also reflects preparation for potential discord. The plan includes an assessment of Arctic stakeholders and their motivations, to "determine the most dangerous and the most likely threats" and "provide opportunities for cooperative solutions." That data will be used in strategic analysis, by applying game theory "to consider the interdependencies between actors and actions." Then the Navy wants to strengthen key international military and business partnerships, to improve "operations, training and common investments."
The TFCC also hopes to catch up with countries that already have a heavy Arctic presence, and get more U.S. personnel up north. That starts with a fleet readiness assessment, to "identify current capabilities and limitations" and create a list of research and tech projects that will improve everything from underwater warfare to oil spill cleanup. Then there's expanding the Navy's participation in Arctic training, and their observation of foreign programs like Canada's Nanook, a disaster-prep program that the Navy sat in on last August.
Finally, the Navy's got to put out the right spin to civilian media outlets, so that Americans and the international community "believe the Navy is contributing to a safe, secure and stable Arctic region." Included in the PR targets: major U.S. newspapers, the Weather Network — and Facebook.
Of course, we may not see many tangible results of the Arctic Roadmap until the cap melts. Which is why the plan includes a thorough environmental monitoring section, so that the Navy can accurately predict "specifically when, and to what extent ice caps will recede, allowing for increased maritime access to the Arctic."

I sat peering down at the news i had to take in,Only seconds before opening the letter i had been the happiest girl alive.I was'nt going to let it spoil my prom especially as it was such a big deal to my bestie Ryan.Ryan decide to go to one of the biggest events of his life with me as i didn't have anyone to go with i also wasn't going to share my news with anyone which would be hard as i shared everything with Ryan.I lived in a care home and didn't care about even wanting to see my parents, why should i they left me in a care home.
I pulled my ball gown over my head and could'nt fasten the zip so i shouted of Ryan who was waiting down stairs. "Ryan come here please" Ryan shot up the stair and asked what was wrong "nothing i replied i just wondered if you would be so kind as to zip up my dress" Ryan zipped up my dress and i said "thank you" he then ran down stairs not wanting to see what i looked like until i was finished.I then put on a little make up (mascara,eyeliner and lip gloss)Then put lose curls in my hair and slipped in a Tarra (a present from Ryan)and put on my silver high heels which i wore a Christmas.After getting dressed i walked elegantly down the stairs to where Ryan sat.
"O..M..G.. Miya.. you look fabulous, beautiful, gorgeous,Ama...".
My smile grew wider as i cheekily interrupted with words such as "Thank you ,you don't look so bad your self."
" can i have the honour of taking this princess to the ball."
"You may" i repleyed with my cheeky smile.
We chuckled leaving Ryan's house walking towards Ryan's car,Me and Ryan wern't drinking at the prom as i was staying the night at hes so we were having a drink when we got back.Ryan had decorated the car with a fancy ribbon on the front just like a wedding car.
Ryan opened the car door for me and closed it after helping me in.
