FAQs about Checking Accounts
Checking Account Terms
The banking industry is full of complex concepts and terminology that can leave a consumer feeling like his or her banker is speaking a different language. The following are some common terms that you may come across in your search for an ideal checking account.
ACH – ACH stands for the Automated Clearing House, a nationwide computer-based exchange for clearing deposits and payments electronically. The ACH system allows you to have loan payments deducted from your checking account, for example.
ATM Surcharge – This is a fee that is charged to you when you use an ATM of a bank that you don't have an account with.
Available Balance – The amount of money you have in your checking account that is available for withdrawal. It reflects the latest balance based on transactions posted to your account that day, including deposited funds, paid checks, withdrawals, and purchases made with your ATM Card or Check Card.
Bill Pay – An online banking service that allows you to manage and pay your bills online.
Checking Account – A bank account that allows you to deposit and withdraw money, make point-of-sale purchases, and write checks.
Debit Card – Provides the benefits of an ATM card while also allowing you to make purchases at millions of locations worldwide that accept MasterCard® debit cards. Funds used to cover the transactions are deducted from your checking account.
Direct Deposit – This service allows regular deposits such as payroll and social security payments to be made electronically into your checking account.
Interest-Bearing Account – These checking accounts usually require a minimum balance to open and you may need to maintain an even higher balance to avoid fees. Interest usually is paid monthly on your checking account.
Joint Checking – An account owned by two or more people, usually sharing a household and expenses. Each co-owner has equal access to the checking account.
Minimum Balance – This is the minimum amount of money that a bank requires you to keep in your checking account at all times. If you go under this amount you will be charged maintenance fees. The minimum balance is usually computed as the sum of daily balances in a billing period divided by the numbers of days.
Money Market Checking – A money market checking account usually pays a higher rate of interest than a checking or savings account does. Money market accounts often require a higher minimum balance to start earning interest, but they frequently pay higher rates for higher balances.
Online Banking – This service allows you to handle banking activities from your computer via the Internet. Online Banking enables you to open accounts, monitor account activity, transfer funds, pay bills, and more.
Overdraft Protection – This feature acts as a safeguard against unexpected cash-flow shortages. In the event that your checking account becomes overdrawn, your bank will extend a line of credit to you. Plans vary, but most banks charge a flat fee for each item they cover and many set a dollar limit on the total amount your checking account may be overdrawn at any one time.
Returned or "bounced" Check Charge – This is also referred to as an NSF or non-sufficient funds fee This is the amount of money charged to an account holder whose account lacks the necessary funds needed to cover a check, which is returned to the party who cashed it unpaid.
Service Charge – These fees are charged to customers for specific services or as a penalty for not meeting certain checking account requirements, such as insufficient funds in a checking account.

In 2004, the Chicago Bears acquired Israel Idonije mid-season and placed him on the practice squad. He made the 53-man roster the following year and has been a member of the team ever since.
He became an unrestricted free agent Tuesday. It took the organization a little more than two days to re-sign him.
The Bears have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Idonije.
The 31-year-old started at defensive end for his second straight season last year, after serving mainly as a special teams player and rotational defensive lineman his first six seasons with the club.
He was solid against the run and had 5.0 sacks in 2011. Yet that number was down from the career-high 8.0 sacks he picked up in 2010.
DE Israel Idonije
Wesley Hitt/Getty
Idonije is a team leader and an outstanding locker room presence. He does everything well but nothing great. His performance last season was somewhat disappointing when you consider the attention opposing offenses paid to Julius Peppers.
Chicago's Cover 2 relies on the front four to get pressure on the quarterback, thus avoiding the need to blitz frequently. Five sacks when you're getting one-on-one matchups all game every game just isn't enough production.
It's the reason the Bears tried to sign Jeremy Mincey on Tuesday, who broke out last year with 8.0 sacks. Mincey chose to re-sign with Jacksonville instead.
Yet as a member of a defensive end rotation, Idonije has a lot of value. The problem last year was Chicago's inability to find a productive No. 3 and No. 4 edge rusher. According to Pro Football Focus, Idonije played 944 snaps last year, eighth most amongst defensive ends. That's just too much time on the field for a player on the wrong side of 30.
Pairing Idonije with a pure pass rusher, and thus limiting his reps, would likely allow him to have more success going forward. Which is why it's likely the team will still pursue another defensive end in free agency, possibly Kamerion Wimbley, or in the upcoming NFL Draft.
If that happens, then this is a great move by the team. But if the club plans on playing him 900 snaps next season, everyone will be sorely disappointed.

Top players lost: Damion Terry, Delton Williams, Jake Plonski, Nick Dubowski, John Chereson, Erik Swanson, Joe Hampy, Brendan Klemensic, Nate Carlin, Andrew Arrowsmith, Eli Martinez, Troy Kelly
Top returning players: Felix Manus-Schell, Jake DeHart, Marlon Tyree, Alex Greenawalt, Devonne Barnes, James Trucilla, Mike Parker, Charlie Fessler, J.T. Joint, William Monono, Jake Murawski, Brian May, Matt Wolf, Billy Fessler, Ryan Dill
Assistant coaches: Brad Orlando, Matt Melle, Pat Czytuck, Mark Brooks, Dan Vitale, Manny Johnson, Brad Chase, Jim Skindell, Don Bown, Vinnie Mezzacapo, Kyle Gathers
Outlook: Cathedral Prep coach Mike Mischler might have to go through the biggest rebuilding effort in District 10 this year. Mischler loses a talented group that led the Ramblers to the PIAA Class AAA championship last fall. Among the players gone to graduation are Damion Terry, Delton Williams, Jake Plonski, Nick Dubowski, John Chereson, Erik Swanson, Joe Hampy, Brendan Klemensic, Nate Carlin, Andrew Arrowsmith, Eli Martinez and Troy Kelly. Terry finished with almost every District 10 passing record throughout his career and will head to Michigan State this fall. He was named the District 10 player of the year, to the all-district team, to the all-region first and the Region 6 player of the year. As a senior, Terry threw for 3,599 yards and 50 touchdowns, while rushing for 700 yards and 12 touchdowns. Williams will join Terry in East Lansing after an impressive career with Prep. Williams was named all-district at all-purpose, and was voted to the all-region first team at defensive back and all-purpose. Williams ran for 697 yards and 13 TDs, and 59 catches for 838 yards and 11 TDs. Williams also had four interceptions, two for TDs, and returned three punts for TDs this past fall. Chereson, Swanson, Hampy and Plonski were also voted to the all-district team and will play in college. Chereson set a school record with 82 extra points and connected on five field goals. Swanson and Hampy each had eight sacks as seniors, while Plonski led the Ramblers with 118 tackles.
The Ramblers have several experienced players back, such as Felix Manus-Schell, Jake DeHart, Marlon Tyree, Alex Greenawalt, Devonne Barnes, James Trucilla, Mike Parker, Charlie Fessler, J.T. Joint, William Monono, Jake Murawski, Brian May, Matt Wolf, Billy Fessler and Ryan Dill. Manus-Schell and Tyree are collecting Division I offers at a fast rate and DeHart is getting some D-I notice as well. Manus-Schell was named all-district at defensive back after a terrific postseason, while Tyree is one of the top defensive prospects in the western part of the state. Greenawalt was voted to the all-region first team at wide receiver, and Barnes was voted all-region on the offensive and defensive lines. Greenawalt had 43 catches for 669 yards and 10 touchdowns, while DeHart had 32 catches for 424 yards and five touchdowns. DeHart could shift to running back full time. DeAngelo Malone is also back to carry the ball after rushing for 290 yards and three touchdowns last year, and ShaQuon Thrower ran for 242 yards and five TDs.
The biggest question will be at quarterback. Billy Fessler appears to be the natural fit after backing up Terry last season. Fessler threw for 82 yards and one touchdown on 9-of-20 attempts. A big target for Billy Fessler could be his brother, Charlie, who had 24 catches for 437 yards and three touchdowns last season. Although Billy Fessler figures to be the heir at the position, Mischler stated that no player is coming in with a guaranteed starting job and that all positions are up for grabs in camp. Greenawalt, DeHart, Barnes and Charlie Fessler are returning starters on offense, while Parker, DeHart, Tyree, Barnes, Trucilla, Joint and Parker are returning starters on defense. The Ramblers have a strong receiving corps back along with several running backs that could step up. If Billy Fessler can get used to managing the offense at quarterback, the Ramblers could be the favorite to win another District 10 Class AAA championship. Fessler learned the spread offense behind Terry and was effective when he entered games as a backup. Another big issue will be the offensive and defensive lines. Barnes is back to anchor the lines and Trucilla is a potential defensive standout, but Prep will need to fill several spots. Along with the experienced players coming back, Bryce Boyd, Billy Norfolk, Troy Woodard, Alex Kissell, Jacob Galla, Tim Evans, Sullivan Johnson, Adam Figurski and Malano Jones could all make the jump from the lower levels to contribute on varsity this year.
Prep has a solid schedule, and it helps that the Ramblers will leave Erie only twice this season. The Ramblers will travel to Perry in Pittsburgh to open the season and will also travel to Ursuline in Youngstown, Ohio. The only other "road" games are at McDowell and to Veterans Stadium to take on East and Central Tech. Prep won't take on Aquinas Institute this year but instead added St. Joe's from Buffalo. One of the most intriguing games on the schedule could come before the regular season. Prep will travel to Cleveland St. Ignatius' field to take on Toledo Central Catholic in a scrimmage. Toledo C.C. features quarterback DeShone Kizer, who committed to Notre Dame earlier this year. Prep's showdown at McDowell on Oct. 4 is always important and if the Ramblers survive, they will likely play for the region title on Nov. 1 against General McLane. Prep has experience and potential in its younger players. The Ramblers look like the favorite in Class AAA, once again, to win D-10 and could be a dangerous team in the PIAA playoffs.

Property buyers will ignore the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision yesterday to hold the cash rate at 4.25 per cent and will continue buying real estate because of the country's housing shortage, observers say.
Rose Corp managing director Bryan Rose brushed off the RBA's move as "just another interest rate announcement" and said he doubted it would slow rising buyer numbers.
"We've seen good enquiry rates in January and we expect this to continue," Mr Rose said. "People feel that we're in for a low interest rate environment. What is most important is the climate and what everyone is thinking, not necessarily [monthly] cuts."
Monarch Investments' chief executive Peter Icklow also expects buyers to be undeterred and points to supply constraints, particularly in Sydney, which will offset the rate decision and fuel buying activity.
"It's not going to make a difference," he said. "Sales are not the problem. Our problem is that the banks will not lend money for development."
The RBA's announcement comes after the number of properties available for sale fell 4.3 per cent nationally in January – a sign that the housing market may have reached the bottom, SQM Research said. The RBA also said house prices had shown signs of stabilising at the end of 2011 after dropping for most of the year.
Buyers agent Monique Sasson Wakelin of Wakelin Property Advisory said the decision to leave cash rates unchanged was a "positive message" about the health of the Australian economy. "We believe the short and medium-term impact of the announcement are benign," she said.
But industry associations, including the Housing Industry Association, pose opposite views. The HIA slammed the RBA for "missing an opportunity" to boost business and household confidence. First home buyers are starting to return to the property market but another rate cut would have prompted more buying, the Real Estate Institute of Australia claims.
But Greville Pabst, the chief executive of WBP Property Group, said he felt the market had not fully absorbed the rate cuts from late 2011.
"The market would have preferred to see a drop but it was unlikely the major banks would pass it all on anyway. I think fundamentals are still pretty strong. Interest rates are still at a pretty historically low place."

Engineered stone
Ceramic granite is ideally suited for use in ventilated facade projects, but there may be occasions where the design brief calls for larger facade panels than can be achieved with this extraordinarily versatile and visually appealing material. We are able to offer a range of engineered stone alternatives that are produced by combining natural stone with the smallest possible quantity of highly specialised bonding agent.
The result is an exceptionally strong, aesthetically attractive and homogeneous material which is ideally suited for use in ventilated facade applications as it has none of the technical weaknesses or visual flaws of stone in its quarried form.
Our engineered stone panels are supplied in a 3060 x 1230mm format in 20mm, 30mm and 40mm thicknesses and can be cut to any size required. A wide range of colours and styles are offered and there are three different types of finish to choose from - polished, honed and sand textured.
We prefabricate our engineered stone in the same way as ceramic granite and the facade panels are installed using a Sureclad Hang On or Access system, (depending on panel weight and loadings).

In the quarterly "Guide to Greener Electronics," published by Greenpeace, electronic companies are ranked based on their use of toxic chemicals and electronic waste policies. Acer received a score of 5.7 out of 10 in the rankings for September 2007. The company has provided timelines to eliminate harmful chemicals in its products, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and brominated flame retardants (BFRs), though current models still contain PVCs and BFRs. Additionally, Acer does not take back and recycle its products. Greenpeace hopes electronic companies and their manufacturers will become responsible for the full life cycle of their products.

Fleeing burglary suspect jumps into river
REDDING, Calif. - A burglary suspect fleeing from police jumped into the Sacramento River on Tuesday morning.
Around 7 a.m., officers responded to the 2400 block of North Bonnyview Road after reports a home had been broken into.
According to police, the suspect, later identified as William Allan Evers, 33, of Redding, entered the residence through an unlocked rear door, which boarders the Sacramento River. The victims woke up to Evers in their bedroom. One of the victims, Elizabeth Ames, 47, of Redding, armed herself with a handgun and demanded Evers leave. He refused and demanded clothing, telling Ames he was in charge and would assault them. Robert Molthrup, 48, of Redding, attempted to grab Evers but he pulled away and began to walk around the house. The victims described Evers as acting strangely, as if he was under the influence of drugs.
Investigators said the victims gave Evers clothing, hoping he would then leave the residence, however he continued to roam throughout the house. At one point he entered a bathroom and removed several bottles of medication belonging to the third victim, Judith Ames, 76, of Redding. During this time, Evers stated he would "slit the throats" of officers who responded to the residence. According to the victims, when he heard the sound of sirens he fled out the back of residence.
Responding officers located Evers running from the residence to the Sacramento River. He then jumped into the river and began to float downstream approximately 1/4 mile, staying close to the bank and holding on to branches for support. Officers called in a Sheriff's boat and the CHP helicopter to help apprehend Evers. He was brought to the South Bonnyview boat ramp where he was put in an ambulance and taken to the hospital for evaluation of possible hypothermia.
He was then taken to the Shasta County Jail where he was booked for first degree burglary and robbery.

2012 was a big year for Killer Mike and El-P. Killer Mike released R.A.P. Music, his El-P-produced collection of brain-splattering beats and fiery politics, which we thought was so good we called it the best album of the year. No slouch himself, El-P released his own excellent solo record, Cancer For Cure, and drove a car with a puppet. If anyone deserves to take all of 2013 off, it's these guys.
Instead, the duo has announced a collaborative project going by the name Run The Jewels and that a new album is in the works. If that wasn't cool enough, the pair has also released a 90-second snippet of a track called "Banana Clipper," and it's pretty epic, despite its 90-second length. Killer Mike compares himself to an elephant toward the beginning, but the best part probably comes when he raps, "Producer gave me a beat, said, 'It's the beat of the year'/I said, 'El-P didn't do it? Get the fuck outta here.'" Check it out below.

Through her award-winning all-female movies, Sandra Lahnsteiner pushes women's freeskiing to new levels.
We catch up with her in Alaska, where she's both skiing and filming big lines for Shades of Winter II.
What have you been up to this winter?
My movie production has been keeping me busy and I was once again lucky enough to travel the world with friends, chasing pow and filming for the second Shades of Winter movie, coming fall 2014.
My big goal is to establish Shades of Winter as a platform for female athletes from all over the world to share their passion and showcase their skills
Besides that I am super stoked I got to ski some really cool new lines without the cameras. I couldn't really ask for more!
How is Shades of Winter II shaping up?
We want to step it up in every aspect of movie making. We started our season once again in Niseko, Japan. Natalie Segal, Caja Schöpf, Evelina Nilsson and myself enjoyed the super dry pow Niseko is famous for. An incredibly deep winter made it pretty easy for our crew and we pushed each other a lot.
Back in Europe things got trickier, as winter wasn't really shaping up in the Alps (except for the southern parts) so we had to change a few plans. But all in all we got some sweet days for the freeride and freestyle girls on different locations.
Currently there are a few shoots happening at the same time. Nadia Samer and Suz Graham are filming in BC, Nico Zacek's legendary Nine Queens just happened in Livigno and I am currently in Haines, Alaska with Matilda Rapaport and Janina Kuzma. The last set up this winter will follow Melissa Presslaber and Nadine Wallner to some steep skiing in the western Alps. Stay tuned…
Aside from skiing, where do you find inspiration for your films?
In general, being authentic in all the things I do is the most important rule I follow. So, every day, life is my inspiration. The story of my first film, "As We Are", was simply about the friendship and the fun ski roadtrips that come along with it.
My second film, "Shukran Morocco", was more a documentary about a freeski trip to Northern Africa capturing the mix of skiing and a different culture
My first "Shades of Winter" movie had its roots in "As We Are", but this time my big goal was less the story but putting the performance and the action of us girls in the foreground.
With Shades of Winter II we want to reach the next level of freeskiing and story telling. I again want to showcase the best female action but carried on by a smart little story that inspires.
Everyday experience once again was my personal inspiration for the upcoming movie. Once I had the idea in my head I couldn't stop thinking of it and together with director/filmer and editor Mario Feil we developed the story.
Who is the biggest inspiration in your life?
Well, I never really had a single role model I followed. I remember watching Ingrid Backstrom in Matchsticks ripping sick AK lines, that was for sure an inspiration to push my own skiing forward.
Other than that I have quite a few different inspirations, from sports, business etc. But it's those people who are authentic and truly follow their passions and goals that inspire me.
What advice would you give to any aspiring female ski film makers?
Just believe in yourself and make it happen! Don't wait for your dreams to come true, live it!
Check out Sandra's part of the new Shades of Winter II in the player above.

January 30, 2012 By Wayne Hanson
On Christmas Day 2011, more than 6.8 million Android and iOS devices were activated, according to an article on Time magazine's Techland news site. That eclipsed the previous single-day record of 2.8 million activations on Christmas Day 2010.
As goes the consumer, so goes government — at least in regard to how the public wants to access Web-based services and transactions. And while that statistic has implications for public-sector websites and transactions, the move to mobile devices doesn't stop there: Local government employees are bringing their "stocking stuffers" to work, and want to use them to access email, calendaring or even the entire network.
Compared to the locked-down BlackBerrys used by some public executives, the new devices can respond to spoken instructions, help navigate through traffic to a meeting, even dance, sing and order pizza.
The move to integrate one's personal device into local government operations is called variously "bring your own device" or "bring your own technology" (BYOD/T). The advantages of allowing employee-owned devices for work-related activities include the savings. The government doesn't buy the devices or pay for a data plan, and if the device is lost it's not the government's problem as long as there is no confidential data residing in the device.
There are risks as well, and an upcoming special section of Government Technology will explore those in greater detail. However, in the course of talking to local government CIOs and staff, we came across some concerns as to the suitability of the new generation of devices for front-line government use.
Riverside, Calif., CIO Steve Reneker, for example, likes the iPad but has some reservations. "It's a great consumer device, but it's not yet well suited for business environments due to security issues, and an inability to run business applications in the Microsoft world, specifically a lot of browser-based applications — Flash, things like that just make reading email and attachments impractical," he said. "So even if you have an iPad, you still need a Microsoft device to be able to read all your content and to be productive." Reneker said that different uses may require different sized screens, or a regular keyboard.
Several people mentioned that speed with which mobile devices are evolving could become a burden on support staff. Roy Stone, a system support specialist for Long Beach, Calif., said that even mundane tasks like adding a printer or moving files require tech support, and having more than a basic working knowledge of most desktop applications is nearly a full-time job. Adding an array of software, hardware and operating systems, said Stone, could overburden support staff. "I believe BYOD is inevitable," he said. "But so will be the addition of more tech support personnel."
Corpus Christi, Texas, has a 147-square-mile Wi-Fi system, said city CIO Michael Armstrong, and about 15-20 iPads are in use, most of which are city-owned. "It's a tremendous tool, if your job involves consuming information," he said. "But they're not really good production devices."
The city, however, is starting to make GIS available on the iPad and will equip a number of field supervisors with the devices. Since there is citywide Wi-Fi, said Armstrong, they city doesn't need to buy iPads with the 3G setup. "They stay within our own system when they are doing mobile work. So we're not going through the public switch to do that."
Armstrong said the first thing the city puts on each iPad is Dropbox, which makes documents available anywhere on any machine. Armstrong said he uses Dropbox instead of Apple's iCloud because iCloud is Apple-centric, whereas Dropbox is compatible with iOS, Android and Windows. "iCloud doesn't run on Android," said Armstrong, "and will run on Windows, but you have to go through iTunes." He says iCloud has some nice features, including 5 GB of free storage/ (Dropbox only offers 2 GB of free storage.) But Dropbox will run on virtually anything. "If I had multiple Apple devices, I might switch," he said, "but I run iOS, Android and Windows; Dropbox works just fine on all."
Armstrong said Corpus Christi is still using Blackberrys and ruggedized laptops for field workers. "We haven't really trusted the iPad in that environment, because it's not built for a ruggedized environment," he said. "It will be interesting to see what Windows 8 does with the Windows tablet."
At Issue: Are consumer wireless devices suitable for government work? Do you have experiences with them pro or con? Contact Wayne Hanson with your comments.
I hear stories of court proceedings where personal devices or personal computers were siezed because they were used to access the employer's network. When a device is used for work and home, lawsuits related to personal or professional conduct can result in siezure to "search for evidence of wrongdoing". This suggests that a device with sensitive company data on it could be seized and investigated for a personal court proceeding, or a device with personal information on it could be seized as part of a professional investigation. Imagine the possibilties.
First, I do think there are security issues that need to be addressed. For example, should you require someone who brings his/her own device to enable "Erase Data" in the event the device is lost, stolen or seized? If you require a password, how strong should it be, 4 digit numerical or 8 character minimum? Are you legally allowed to remotely wipe a device in the event the court seizes it? What if the user reported it stolen when it was actually seized, who is responsible if the data is erased? Second, I don't understand the consumption versus production argument. Anyone who thinks tables like the iPad or Xoom cannot produce information is poorly informed. I produce or edit a large number of documents on my iPad. I take notes in meetings that can be instantly shared with others. I create tasks and calendar events while attending meetings, so before we leave, I have a plan in place to get to work. I no longer need to duplicate my paper notes into electronic format and then disseminate any relevant information to my team, it's all ready to go when I leave the meeting. Finally, I think the idea of IT staff having to learn a bunch of new platforms is a little overblown. It's really only iOS and Android. Once Android unifies their OS, it will make for a small learning curve. The mobile train is coming through the station, either get on board, or get out of the way.
I disagree with the article's contributor from Riverside. I have gone nearly 100% paperless using a few apps that absolutely give me full use of microsoft applications (Word, Excel, powerpoint in particular. The syncing between my mobile devices and my desktop work areas (awesome note, evernote, dropbox) has given me incredible efficiency and increased my productivity; which in these times is critical. While security concerns are important, it is unwise to "lock" government workers out of the mobile world. The boat has left the doc and we just need to make sure that everyone can get on board safely. Our City is actually holding informal SPAs (Specialized Productivity Assistance)with mobile users because there isn't one size fits all solutions. Go Mobility and efficiency!
Good enough? I don't like that term. iPad, I would endorse. Android devices - never. Anytime I see the words "Good Enough" defining a security issue, I cringe. Good enough is never enough!

Shaun White Arrested in Nashville
Posted Monday September 17, 2012 6:04 PM GMT
Partying as if he were a summer Olympian, Shaun White was arrested for public intoxication and vandalism after wreaking havoc at a Nashville hotel.
According to TMZ, the snowboarding gold medalist allegedly trashed his hotel room while wasted and when confronted by staff, pulled several fire alarms before taking off running, falling, and splitting his head open.
The 26-year-old athlete was promptly arrested. After being first taken to a hospital for treatment, The Flying Tomato will be taken to jail.
However, the red-faced redhead probably won't have trouble making bail. He's worth an estimated $20 million and earns a reported $2 million per endorsement deal.

Smart materials that can sense, manipulate, and position are crucial to the functionality of micro- and nano-machines [1-2]. Integration of single crystal piezoelectric films on silicon offers the opportunity of high performance piezoelectric microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) incorporating all the advantages of large scale integration on silicon substrates with on-board electronic circuits, improving performance and eliminating common failure points associated with heterogeneous integration [3-6]. We have fabricated oxide heterostructures with the highest piezoelectric coefficients (e31= -29 C/m2) and figure of merit for piezoelectric energy harvesting system ( e31, f 2 r = 0.44 C2/m4) ever realized on silicon substrates by synthesizing epitaxial thin films of Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-PbTiO3 (PMN-PT) on vicinal (001) Si wafers using an epitaxial (001) SrTiO3 template layer. We have also demonstrated fabrication of PMN-PT cantilevers, whose mechanical behavior is consistent with theoretical calculations using the material constants of a bulk PMN-PT single crystal. These epitaxial heterostructures with giant piezoelectricity can be used for Micro and Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS and NEMS) that function with low drive voltage such as transducers for ultrasound medical imaging, micro-fluidic control and energy harvesting. Beyond electromechanical devices, our approach will open a new avenue to tune and modulate the properties of other multifunctional materials by dynamic strain control.

Top Five Classical Music Apps
In 2009, we listed our Top Five Classical Music Apps. In the year and a half since that column, not only have there been exponential increases in these programs, but also the devises that use them (iPad anyone?). Though all of our original five selections are still available and great ways to enhance your musical consumption, we thought it was time for another round up of Top Five Apps for the iPhone and iPad.
1. Heading to Hungary with a hankering to see some culture? Bachtrack searches its global database of concert, opera and dance performances to find what's happening based on location, performer, date or program. (For example, Ivan Fischer will be conducting Budapest Festival Orchestra at the Palace of Arts in Budapest through the rest of May). The GPS feature finds events happening in your neck of the woods.
2. The Boston Symphony Orchestra's sleek, easy-to-navigate media center app offers audio and video streaming, program notes and bios of the symphony's entire roster, with bonus material from the Boston Pops and Tanglewood.
3. The Medici.tv app doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it does have classical music videos — lots of them. The library of 600 performances allows you to peek inside great European concert halls. Not all the videos are available on the free app, but you can access several hundred recent concerts, including the Louvre's chamber music series featuring the Pacifica and Takács string quartets.
4. Xenakis fans rejoice: You too can compose using the same algorithms as the Greek architect and composer using iGendyn. Developed by University of Sussex professor Nick Collins, the app stands for general dynamic stochastic synthesis, the extremely technical process Xenakis used in his compositions. In practice, it's not as complicated as it sounds. Using a touch screen you can manipulate sounds across a grid (see screenshot at right). Just make sure to plug in your headphones first; like Xenakis's music, this app can get loud.
5. For the musician trying to decipher his Das Lied von der Erde score, Tim Leasure has come up with a cheat: the Mahler Translation app. The program gives the English word or phrase for more than 450 sometimes-ambiguous instructions Mahler wrote in his scores. However, we prefer the less accurate translations the New Philharmonia Orchestra of Newton, MA gave to its musicians two years ago.
Weigh in: Do you have a favorite classical music app? Tell us about it below.

Losing Michael Ironside As Sam Fisher Doesn't Hurt Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Posted on Monday, August 19 @ 12:36:51 PST by Daniel Bischoff
I've been playing Splinter Cell: Blacklist all weekend (and our review will be up some time tomorrow to coincide with the game's release) but one thing I thought would have bothered me hasn't had any real effect. Blacklist is the first Splinter Cell game to release without the vocal stylings of Michael Ironside in the lead role, but it turns out you don't need the gravely-voiced actor to make an excellent Splinter Cell game. In fact, I'd say Sam Fisher's loss is the player's gain in the philosophy behind ditching Ironside.
Speaking of the change prior to release, Creative Director Maxime Béland told reporters that Ironside was dismissed because of the arduous process it took to completely design Sam Fisher. Ubisoft had to record Ironside's voice, then capture a physical actor who could pull off all of Fisher's stealthy and acrobatic moves, and then go one step beyond to capture another actor's facial performance in delivering each line. To do away with all this, Ubisoft decided to go with Eric Johnson, a singular actor who could do everything the studio needed to build Sam Fisher as an interactive character.
The difference between Blacklist and the last Splinter Cell game, Conviction, is palpable. Yes, the voice isn't the same, but I'll trade this one series staple for the dogged attention to gameplay on hand in Ubisoft's latest. While it might sound like Ironside became an unfortunate casualty over the course of development, the rest of Blacklist benefits from returning Sam Fisher to his roots as a globe-trotting super spy.
Instead of chasing and interrogating leads himself, Sam and company launch missions from their mobile headquarters. Players are dropped into an open level with branching pathways, intelligent guards, and tons of options at their disposal. Conviction felt more constrained and therefore less focused on player agency, but Blacklist feels totally focused on presenting players with the tools they need and just enough challenge to keep every moment tense and dangerous.
Yes, a story driven by terrorists with a globe-trotting agenda plays pretty heavily into Ubisoft Toronto's desire to provide level and mission variety, but it also does away with messy and constrictive story elements that would otherwise hamper developer creativity, not unlike the decision to ditch Ironside's voice. We'll have more in our full review of Splinter Cell: Blacklist, but players should know that losing Ironside, and generally cutting fat where necessary, has allowed Ubisoft Toronto to largely reinvent the Splinter Cell wheel.

I'm certain there are lots of OPM songs out there that sings about, you know, the weed and stuff- some literally and some figuratively. Yesterday, I noticed it was 4/19 making it 4/20 today, and while working, Eraserheads' Alapaap played. I thought I'd look into my playlist for songs that, uh, well, are perfect for the moment.
I found only 5 popular hits from my thin playlist. If you know other songs with the similar theme, do share them to me.
Masdan mo ang aking mata
Di mo ba nakikita
Ako ngayo'y lumilipad at nasa langit na
Gusto mo bang sumama
4. Mottaka – Cheese
When the moon shines, from the heavens above
Life will be sweet, so green and so young
Hemp will be ruling my brothers again
If you got the ganja, then pass it my friend
When the moon shines from the heavens above
Life will be sweet, so green and so young
I open my mind as I lie on the floor
Join me as we both live in ecstacy
I wasn't aware of this band until college because their genre wasn't really my slice of cheese (pun not intended) during my early teenage years (I've already known the band as Queso). Lately, in my move to widen my knowledge about OPM, I've been rediscovering new and old music including theirs and similar bands like Slapshock, whom as a kid I hated very much and even called their music "noise." Sorry na, I loved boybands, eh! :p
About the song, well, you don't have to spare extra brain cells to get what it says. Mottaka bluntly speaks about smoking. [Full lyrics]
LumulutangNakayakap sa kalawakanLumulutangO kay sarap na mahibangKislap at pungay ng mataNapapaluha sa sayaIkaw ang may dala
2. Song for the Suspect – Franco
One love, jah love
Come and feel the vibe
He's given us the herb
Rising from under the Earth
With soul we can unite
So give me and pass me the light
Throw away all your hate come, come with me
This is one of my favorite OPM of all times. There's just something with the song that makes me feel good. Franco bluntly speaks of the 'herb' in this piece. Right in the middle of the song, there's even a narration of Bob Marley about the weed being created for the use of man- "created by divine mind for divine purposes." [Full lyrics]
1. Momay – Juan Thugs
Lumilipad na naman ang isip ko
Na para bang ako'y nasa kalangitan
Sa tuwing si Momay ay aking matitikman
(Sa tuwing si Momay ay aking matitikman)
Ang simoy ng hangin sa akin ay lumalamig na
(Ang simoy ng hangin sa akin ay lumalamig na)
Shotgun shotgun ganja ganja buddha buddha
This is my #1 and I don't have to explain myself. :p [Full lyrics]
Happy 420 people! Keep the light blazing.

Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed in this post are for entertainment purposes only and in no way reflect the beliefs of the management or administration of this delightful website. Any similarities to persons alive, dead, or Lee Evans is purely coincidental. So without further ado, shut your mouth, know your role, sit your ass down and settle in for this Divisional Round edition of- Heroes & Goats...
1) TORREY SMITH/JACOBY JONES- Only Jacques Cousteau and John Holmes have had more success going DEEP than you two did Saturday. The poor Broncos secondary should've been issued rape whistles before the game.:respect
2) COREY GRAHAM- Special teams player MY ASS! You deserve theme music after your heroic performance...Rock on, bro!
2A) JUSTIN TUCKER- Blessed with the face of a homeless pothead and the foot/heart of a cold-blooded assassin. TUCK YEAH!!
3) JOE FLACCO- Droppin' F-Bombs in the high altitude that ironically had Denver fans gasping for air proved that JOE. KNOWS. FOOTBALL. Didn't Manning know that freezing temperatures ain't nothing to a dude colder than Eskimo Pussy?
3A) OFFENSIVE LINE- None of the offense's production would have been possible without our new & improved, realigned offensive line... Moving Oher to where he can suck the least was a stroke of genius and you men held an absolute BLOCK PARTY in Colorado...Without the legalized weed, of course.
4) TERRELL SUGGS/PAUL KRUGER/PERNELL MCPHEE- The way you dudes smacked Manning around back there in the second half, he had to be thinking Omar from The Wire was coming for his ass next!!
5) RAY RICE- A steady diet of Rice was just what the doctor ordered for keeping Denver off balance. No retreat, No surrender, No fumbles, NO PROBLEMS!
1) BRENDON AYANBADEJO- For the record, it's not a GOOD thing when your keyboard speaks louder than your play on the field, Twidiot...:bag::grbac:
2) SPECIAL TEAMS COVERAGE- WTF Man?? I've seen Brazilian thongs that cover better than you dudes did in Denver!! FIX IT!!:grbac:
3) MICHAEL OHER- Even though it's being masked somewhat, you still suck donkey balls as a starting tackle on an NFL playoff contender... Not to beat a dead horse or anything.:DeadHorse:
4) ED REED- Not used to your game being so quiet in the postseason. At least Knowshon Moreno didn't hurdle you this time, though.
5) DAN DIERDORF- You and the mayor of Boston seem to share a similar pool of football knowledge.

Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
I would add Ellerbe and Ray to the heroes list, and take Oher out, he had a fantastic game against Von Miller, and completely stone walled him at the best of times.

Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
Yeah, Ray and Ellerbe deserve props but fuck it, I'm tired.
Oher had his moments, but he still takes too many plays off for me.

Which game did you watch? Oher had a fantastic game against a great pass rusher. As for the idea that he takes plays off... SMH. Effort 110% of the time is the one thing he does as well as any lineman in the league.
Some fans see what they expect even when reality doesn't agree I guess.My motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron

Ed Reed is quiet because he is staying deep and keeping it all underneath. His staying in position is helping us win.Facebook -> Craig.Ciurca

Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
I'm usually a fan of these and you're almost always spot on..but this one not so much. Oher doesn't take plays off..the only great thing about him is his tireless effort, even if it sometimes doesn't translate into his play. Reed was 'quiet' because he was quietly taking away the deep ball....ALL GAME. Manning himself attributes the lack of deep balls to Ed and Pollard, as far as I'm concerned he's a hero too. You sure have Dierdorf pegged though!

Glad to hear your opinions, even if a bit whiny. Unlike some I'm not afraid of criticism or having an unpopular opinion. Read it and move on, I say!
Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)

Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
Rape is never an appropriate subject for humor. Period.
Which you would understand if you'd ever been close to someone who'd been raped. (My guess is that if you're over 16 you have been--it's a lot more common than most guys realize--but you don't know it because the victim(s) never confided in you. And maybe that's because they weren't comfortable doing so. Considering your willingness to make a joke out of it...)
How about you read (and comprehend ) & move on, OK?
Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
Good points; however, there's no way the front office will pay $7 million "because he was quietly taking away the deep ball." He gets paid for knocking down passes and making picks. Those attributes are long gone. I love Ed Reed's contributions for the past decade, but he's headed towards becoming over-the-hill.
Ravenous 52 has been a major contributor to this message board and its predecessors for 13+ years. You are a newbie ... so: back off!In a 2003 BBC poll that asked Brits to name the "Greatest American Ever", Mr. T came in fourth, behind ML King (3rd), Abe Lincoln (2nd) and Homer Simpson (1st).
Re: Heroes & Goats (Mile High Miracle Divisional Round Edition)
While I agree about the front office not going to fork over those type of $$ to retain Reed and him being at the twilight of his career, I disagree with Reeds contributions as of late.
While certainly Reeds interceptions are exciting and huge plays (many game changing), he was where he was supposed to be and not gambling potentially giving up the big play.
You hear it time and time again from defensive coordinators where they're constantly harping to their players to "Do your job".
As somebody else stated, him staying home forces QBs to think twice about throwing deep against one on one matchups.
Denver tried that one on one stuff against Torrey Smith last week with Champ Bailey and we saw how that worked out for him.
Eds ability to make the big play scares the crap out of the opposition more often then not, but they also know he gambles sometimes and presents big opportunitys for them if he guesses wrong.
Regarding R52s edition of Heroes & Goats....
I tend to agree with others about Oher.
Both him & Mckinnies play last week was borderline stellar in pretty much containing what was considered one of the best pass rushing duos (if not the best) in the league this year.
If not for their play, I doubt Flacco completes those bombs of beauty, and I doubt we win that game.
As far as offensiveness of his post...
Gimme a break

It's been a long time coming, but the multi-platform iPlayer is finally here. Yes folks, the one that works not only on windows XP and Vista, but also Mac OSX (10.5 and 10.4), Fedora Core 8, Ubuntu 7.10 and Open Suse 10.3. Feel free to crack open the champagne now.
Currently in Beta and available via the iPlayer Labs, the new download manager is built on Adobe's AIR platform which means that, in theory, any OS that supports that could be added to the list also supported by the iPlayer, eventually. A download manager that works on the Linux installs used by many netbooks would be pretty awesome, if you ask me.
Currently there are a few catches to using the new download manager, foremost of which is many programmes aren't actually working with it. However, that should improve over time - the new manager was only released yesterday after all. Doubtless some fusspots will criticise the use of DRM, too, but given this is free content I'm disinclined to agree.
The trial period for the new AIR-based download manager will last until, roughly, February next year (making a nice birthday present for me). If you're reading this on a Mac, I suggest you head over to the BBC Labs, enable the new download manager and get downloading!

The battery is only compatible with models of Einhell POWER-X-CHANGE. With this universal battery can power a screwdriver, a drill, a saw or shears and hedge trimmer. I will appreciate the three LED lights capacity battery and a microprocessor that monitors the temperature and voltage of the battery. If you charge almost completely discharged battery, auto switches itself into so-called. Correction mode, thereby minimizing damage to the battery.
Another advantage of this battery is a high quality lithium cells, which are themselves almost do not discharge, thereby guaranteeing long life and trouble-free storage. For added safety, the battery shockproof rubber surface design for shock resistance and a firm grip for carrying. With this one single battery can power the entire workshop and garden equipment Einhell by year-round use.

SUGABABE Jade Ewen shows off her sensational body in a glittering gold bikini
– but it can't stop Tom Daley's new diving show Splash! from belly flopping
onto our screens.
The gorgeous singer kicked of proceedings on last night's new ITV reality
show, which saw contestants coached by Olympic hero Tom.
But while Jade looked a delight in the tiny rubber number, it turned out to be
a rare highlight of the much-panned debut episode.
Shockingly 6.35 million viewers had tuned in to watch the show, which also
starred Benidorm star Jake Canuso, former Absolutely Fabulous star Helen
Lederer, telly presenter Jenni Falconer and comedian Omid Djalili.
But it drew a very negative reaction on Twitter with many labelling it 'car
crash TV'.
Chubby comic Jo Brand's inclusion on the judging panel and seasoned presenters
Gaby Logan and Vernon Kay even got mocked.
The poor camerawork also got slated.
TV presenter Tim Lovejoy said: "Whats going on? Is the joke on me? Am I
being filmed on my sofa? #splash. Did they ever explain why Jo Brand is a
judge? #splash"
@aldohops added: "Terrible nightmare last night ! Involved a 2 min
#splash , which must be a form of torture? TV for idiots by idiots."
@HeyyFatAmy continued: "Jo Brand judging diving is like Tulisa judging a
singing competition."
Other negative tweets included:
@Staners6: "What's this prog on ITV Splash wow terrible"
@brent_lfc: "#splash literally the worst tv show I've ever seen but I
guarantee everyone is watching it for its terrible set up and idea"
@GaryTomWilliams: "Splash is terrible, but the worst thing about it is
that Harry Hill's TV Burp isn"t around to take it apart next Saturday."
@chrisymas: "Splash is the most pathetic excuse for a program I have ever
@DannyJBarwick: "Vernon Kay and Gabby Logan presenting #splash I thought
it looked terrible but now it looks diabolical."
@AngryBritain: "If we slag off Tom Daley's #Splash too vigorously will we
get arrested for trolling? …"
@jo_elvin: I really love Jo Brand, but…. Huh? #splash"
Jade's cringe-worthy pike dive set the tone for show early on.
After a huge build up, where she nervously danced up to the 5m board and
chatted eagerly with Vernon, Jade appeared to just rock rather pathetically
into the pool.
Jake followed, showing off his toned torso and package in a pair of tiny red
sequinned speedos.
The star appeared anxious, following an incident the day before where he had
grazed his nose on the bottom of the practice pool.
But he looked more impressive as he performed a somersault from 5m.
Actress Helen was next up, wearing a black cossie which looked a lot better
than the end result.
Before her dive the audience watched 'highlights' of Helen in training, where
she was tipped off a diving board via a crash mat.
What followed wasn't much better, with her belly flop receiving the lowest
marks from the judging panel.
Jenni provided another brief highlight as she showed off her hot body in a
bright pink costume. But after a promising VT, she overspan on a somersault.
The final star to dive on Saturday night was Omid who wore an unusual
Victorian-like blue swimming costume.
The funnyman joked about his larger size, telling everyone he looked like a
flying pig.
But his brave 10m effort earnt the highest points – 23 – of the night.
After a 6 1/2 minute phone vote, Omid was the first name voted into the final
while Jake and Jenni took part in a 'Splash Off'.
The Benidorm star fared a tad better than the blonde and got the nod to join
Omid in the final in a couple of weeks.
Jade and Helen were unsurprisingly booted off.
A new set of contestants including reality star Joey Essex and former ski
jumper Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards will take part in a second heat next week.
Sadly for male fans Hollyoaks
beauty Jennifer Metcalfe pulled out last week.
After the show Tom tweeted: "So what did you all think of #Splash ?!?!"
Awkward ….
