This is the fruit of the labors of many Abilenians who make up the components of the industrial team the Industrial and Manufacturing Committee of the Abilene Chamber of Commerce, and its affiliate, Abilene Industrial Foundation, Inc., and the Chamber's Industrial Department. The committee, headed by A. B. Shellon, is charged with actively srckini; new" industry for Abil-p.n as well as aiding existing hclus'nes. John Wright is president of the Foundation which is agent wiiile Elton Abies i-i manager rf (ho 'Rfliistrial Department thiwli v.'hidi all efforts aro rooitlinalccl. JOHN WRIGHT heads foundation Even though industrial development has been a major effort of the chamber for many, many years, it was with the financing of the Foundation in 1965 that Abilene had the tools to work with on industrial development. The wheels of unified efforts were then set in motion to begin a successful program for economic progress. Initially, a total of for the Foundation and for operation ol the Industrial Department was pledged in 1965. These pledges were for five years subject to a maximum payment or call of 20 per cent annually. Then, in 1969 a campaign was conducted. Taking into account old pledges, the campaign was considered a success and the goal reached. A total of was for (he foundation and industrial development while was allocated'to the Department for Operation for five years. However, when the announcement came that Bandag would locale a plant in Abilene, the Foundation had already obligated its funds for 1970 and half of the amount to be called in 1971 to Valley Faucet, another major industry which just recently began moving into its new facility on Interstate 20, which was built on a contract with the Foundation on a lease option to buy basis. But the Foundation board wholeheartedly authorized a special campaign with pledges to be paid in a three year period to aid in the estab- lishment of the Bandag plant here. The Foundation, supported by all the city's financial institu- tions, is assisting in million of the financing. The foundation is providing equity money which will be repaid to it by Bandag, and the banks and See INDUSTRY, Pg. 2-A and Greets Nixon LIMERICK, Ireland (AP) President Nixon, suntanned and rdaxarf, flrw into Ireland Satur- day after joining British Prime Minister Edward in sup- part of a 90-day extension of the Middle East cease-fire. The President, nearing the end of Ins nine-day lour of five nations, received a small hut enthusiastic Irish welcome. Heavy security precautions were in force against demon- strators protesting the use of this pro-American -but neutral nation as a site for Nixon's talks Sunday with his top advisers on Vietnam. A: cluster of demonstrators tiled to disrupt the reception when the President's motorcade reached Limerick, but police moved in on the group and Nix- on did not notice the incident. Worth an 'A' Joe Evans, 17-year-old Junior at Abilene High School, not only made the special bicycle he designed, but also learned to ride it, too. The son of Mr. and Mrs E. P. Evans, 2110 Graham, he says it was "kind of nurd to learn" and he made use of a chair to step up on it "then take off." He made the unusual bike, handling the sawing and welding in a ninth grade class at Mann and got an "A" for it, too. (Staff Photo by Cheryl Fos- i Early Sunday morning a bomb exploded beneath a bridge Nixon's motorcade plans to cross Monday. Police said the bomb was a crude, homemade, affair and did little damage to the bridge in the northern Dub- lin suburb of Drumconda on the route to the airport. Nixon and Heath examined Sa- turday the Soviet Union's aims from Cuba to Cape Town and agreed to work for a 90-day ex- tension of the Middle East cease- fire. They also decided to investi- gate whether the Russians are out to dominate the Indian Ocean. Authorized British and U.S. sources reported on the talks between the two chiefs at Che- quers, outside London. With Secretary of State Wil- liam P. Rogers and Britain's Foreign secretary, Sir Alec Douglas-Home, conferring sep- arately, Nixon and Heath talked about the Vietnam war, the af- fairs of Europe and the Mideast crisis. British authorities came away with the impression a renewed U.S. peace initiative is being shaped up for the Mideast as soon as the situation in Egypt and Jordan stabilizes. In the meantime, there was agreement to work for an extension of the Arab-Israeli cease-fire another three months, unlil February. It took two hours for the presi- dential motorcade lo travel 35 miles from Limerick to Kilfrush House, the quiet country man- sion where the Nixons will spend the weekend. Crowds gathered at numerous roadside stops. A young man stepped forward at one cross- road and introduced his bride of a few hours. Nixon took two roses from a bouquet presented to his wife at Shannon Airport and gave them to the bride. Well after dark, thousands of people swarmed across the road The Time Pat Failed Nixon LONDON, (AP) Pat Nixon had lunch with Queen Elizabeth II came up with a candid wifely confession. She recalled she had let her husband down once, but it turned out all right. She told reporters of a pre- vious meeting with the queen in 1958, when Richard M. Nixon was vice president. Nixon had conic to London for the dedica- tion at St. Paul's Cathedral of a chapel dedicated to American war dead. The Nixons had the queen as their guest for Thanksgiving dinner at Winfield House, the American Embassy residence in London, when John Hay Whit- ney was ambassador.

Fiction. In the wake of an affair that has cost him his marriage and career, Marcus is a lost man. Desperate for reprieve from his loneliness and regret, he accepts an invitation to go to the outskirts of North Carolina and visit Edgar, an old high school classmate burdened with mysterious troubles of his own. In Edgar's beautiful, empty home, their separate sorrows draw Marcus into a series of unnerving situations, culminating in a proposed deer hunt. Marcus agrees, despite his inexperience and aversion to killing, and as the hunt draws closer, he must confront the violent prospect with a candor and recognition that have, until now, evaded him. Elegant and darkly moving, A FAMILIAR BEAST is a haunting tale of a man's search for redemption.
"Impressively taut and meticulously drawn. As we follow Marcus from reckoning to something like redemption, Gianopoulous's wisdom and humanity light up this darkly comic, bittersweet journey. Here is a gifted writer in full control of his craft—and impact. A FAMILIAR BEAST is a perfectly-executed shot through the heart."—Jean Nathan

Amazon Best Books of the Month, December 2012: Though this slender paperback has the look and feel of an overstuffed (if menacing) greeting card, there's nothing slight about the emotional muddle navigated by sulky, "recently disgraced" Marcus in the wake of his calamitous, ill-timed affair. Estranged from his wife and their newborn child, Marcus makes a desperate, half-thought-out visit to a childhood friend who's had fluky success in tech and lives in an enormous but mostly empty house in a North Carolina suburb. Panio Gianopoulos's subtly suspenseful debut elegantly explores the sorrowful angst of a certain species of modern man, the kind who doesn't quite know what it means to be a man. (Gianopoulos's wife, the actor Molly Ringwald, explored some similar themes in her recent collection, When It Happens to You). "You're a shadow of a man," a woman snarls at Marcus after they meet at a bar and she hears his story. Marcus knows she's right. "Had he learned anything?" he asks himself, searching for some measure of relief. -- Neal ThompsonFrom the Back Cover:
" A Familiar Beast is superb. With elegant prose, unforgettable scenes and Philip Roth-like psychological insights, Panio Gianopoulos's debut novella marks the arrival of a bright and gifted writer." --Jim Lynch, author of Truth Like the Sun
" A Familiar Beast is a swan song to love and lovers, and with its devastating wit and tender bitterness it kills the easy, common hope for meaning, significance, and, ultimately, redemption." --Stefan Kiesbye, author of Your House Is on Fire, Your Children All Gone
"Elegant, erudite and witty, this extremely well-observed and surprisingly suspenseful story offers more insights into love and human relationships than most authors manage in works three times as long." --Adam Langer, author of author of Crossing California

I'm writing this with slightly damp pants.
It's not something I've talked about before. With anyone. But I'm sure I can't be the only one with this strange affliction.
Well, almost sure. About 90% certain that this is perfectly normal. Probably. But what if it's not? What if I am the only one? Or one of 2% of all the world who have a freakishly large *hushed voice* thingy? What if it turns out I am physically deformed, you know, *hushed voice* down there.
The thing is, I've just had a bath -I can't remember this ever being a problem pre kids, and I'm sure it's the sort of thing I would remember- but it seems that every time I now go for a bath, some of the water goes *hush voice and shifty eyes* you know, up there. And well, sort of stays. Today it stayed up there until I'd got dressed. And then it leaked out all over my pants.
Now don't get me wrong. It didn't gush, this isn't Niagara falls were talking about here. It wasn't like the Hollywood film version of a woman's waters breaking, there was no damp spot on the floor, no splash back – I know I've had two kids and everything but give me a break – but it is enough to make you uncomfortably aware that you have a wet patch in your knickers.
Am I alone in this? Should I seek out slightly dodgy 'corrective surgery' in an eastern European country? Attend anonymous meetings? Hide away in shame? Install some sort of plug pre-bathing?
Am I *looks around furtively and lowers voice* normal?

Unemployment less than four percent? It's the economic equivalent of defying gravity. That's Marshall, MN right now.
The southwest Minnesota town has the best jobless rate of any Minnesota city tracked by the state Labor Department. It peaked in March at 4.5 percent then slipped back to 3.9 percent in May, less than half the state rate.
Compare that to the hardest hit city in Minnesota, Brainerd, with a jobless rate of 15.7 percent.
On Tuesday, the department releases county and local rates for June (seasonally unadjusted) so it'll be interesting to see if Marshall stays below four percent.
UPDATE: Marshall's June unemployment came in at 4.6 percent. Higher but still among the region's best.
Either way, something good is happening there. Pretty much for this decade, if you live in Marshall, you're employed if you wanted to be.
In a lot of smaller towns, the biggest employers are often government, the hospital and the school district, so job growth can be iffy. If one big private business dominates the landscape, a downturn can cause some serious problems.
Marshall's a lot more diverse.
Mark Hanson, the city's economic development director who's part of our Public Insight Network, says the town offers opportunities for people from all kinds of economic backgrounds. He told us today:
The Schwan Food Company employs from all walks of life and all types work skill sets (Line worker, call center, research, to senior VP).
U.S. Bancorp hires young professional from the area (graduates of Marshall-based Southwest Minnesota State) and has stated the MN phone etiquette and work ethics have kept them in Marshall and allowed them to grow from 250 employees in 2006.
Ralco Nutrition (specialty feed producer) has grown from 40 employees 2 years ago (to 90)…Ralco is ready for its 3rd expansion since 2006.
Hanson's list of biggest local employers includes Schwan (2,200), US Bancorp (600) and Avera Marshall Regional Medical Center (512).
I've got a call in to folks at the state Labor Department to see if they can tell me more about what's going on in Marshall. If anyone has a story to tell us about the town or the southwest Minnesota economy, please post below or share a story here.
And check the map below for stories people from the network are sharing with us about the the job climate around them.
BONUS INFO: Of 372 metro areas in the country, the best unemployment rates for May were Bismarck, ND (3.5%), Iowa City, IA (3.7%) and Ames, IA (3.8%); Worst? El Centro, CA (26.8%) and Yuma, AZ (23.3%)

• "A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." George Bernard Shaw
• "I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts." Will Rogers
• "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free!" P. J. O'Rourke
• "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session." Mark Twain (1866)
• "The government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other." Ronald Reagan
• "What this country needs are more unemployed politicians." Edward Langley, artist (1928-1995)
• "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson
To sum it up:
1. One cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. One cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work, because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation!

High majors rolled into Rockwall (Tex.) High and they all seemed to be offering. For some time, Grandstaff, a 6-foot-5 guard, appeared to be favoring Florida and even took an unofficial visit to Gainesville in early March.
But the Gators took a commitment from a 2015 wing on Wednesday and that likely made Grandstaff's college choice a little easier. On Sunday, during a visit to Ohio State, Grandstaff committed to Thad Matta and his staff.
Grandstaff tweeted confirmation of the news.
A significant pick up for the Buckeyes, Grandstaff will help them in the scoring department, as he's one of the best shooters and scorers in the 2015 class.
Grandstaff has deep range on his jump shot, but he's also skilled enough to go off the dribble for mid-range pull-ups or drives to the rim. Through one EYBL session this spring, Grandstaff has put up 82 points, which is good for 20.5 points a game.
Grandstaff is currently ranked No. 47 overall and No. 12 at the shooting guard position.
Ohio State now has three pledges in the 2014 recruiting class. Grandstaff joins four-star recruits Mickey Mitchell and A.J. Harris to make up their current class.

Battered Woman's Syndrome Lawyers
Locate a Local Criminal Lawyer
What Is Battered Woman's Syndrome?
Battered Woman's Syndrome, also known as battered wife syndrome, describes a condition where a woman who has suffered constant and severe physical abuse decides to fight back and use force against her abusive husband. The condition arises as a result of repeated beatings which reduces the woman to her breaking point, at which point she reasonably believes force is necessary to protect herself. Battered Woman's Syndrome may be used in cases of assault or murder to show self-defense, provocation, or insanity.
Symptoms of Battered Woman's Syndrome
The symptoms of battered woman's syndrome include:
- Low self-esteem
- Feelings of shame
- Feelings of guilt
- Feelings that they are responsible for the violence
How Can Battered Woman's Syndrome Be Used In Court?
Battered Woman's Syndrome is used as a defense to charges of assault or murder. It is proven in Court through expert testimony. The expert will give testimony on the general characteristics of battered woman's syndrome, then compare those to the specific characteristics of the instant case. In general, evidence of battered woman's syndrome has three uses:
- Credibility: it helps the jury objectively analyze the defense.
- Honesty: it shows that the defendant honestly believed the need to defend herself.
- Reasonableness: it helps show the reasonableness of the belief of imminent danger.
Is Battered Woman's Syndrome Limited To Women?
No, men can also suffer from Battered Woman's Syndrome. Additionally, battered children can suffer from the condition in cases where they are accused of assault or murder of an abusive parent.
Do I Need A Criminal Defense Attorney?
If you have been the victim of domestic violence and now face charges for retaliating against your abuser, you should contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. You may be facing serious charges so it is important to know your rights.

It FULLY transforms. I mean that.
There have been a lot of Gurren Lagann figures. With each one that comes out, it's just a comparison between the last. The Revoltech has great articulation, the ver. Ka has a Giga Drill Breaker, the Riobot has great sculpting, and the list continues along with the debate. We'll sit here and debate which is the best, but that argument is completely moot at this point thanks to Studio Half Eye and their new Gurren Lagann.
For those of you who are new to Studio Half Eye, they put just about everything they can into each figure. If a mecha transforms, you can bet it will transform in their version. As is the case with Gurren Lagann, everything transforms. Yes, it's easy to convert between the two parts, but putting the two into one has escaped every figure so far. Some how, Studio Half Eye has done it.
Lagann, the tiny mecha with the face and the face of Gurren Lagann is fully-transformable. Move the arms back, legs up, and that's the way this can transform. It's seamless going from individual mecha to the head of Gurren Lagann. It is incredible that they can fit a perfect transformation like that into such a small piece. Gurren is just as versatile, being able to go from its fat, stubby self into a slimmed gattai mecha.
Perfection isn't easy and it certainly isn't cheap. The colored resin kit will run you 42,000¥ to complete it yourself. If you want it painted and assembled by the masters themselves, it will cost you 59,850¥. While I would absolutely love to have this, I don't have the patience, let alone confidence, to build it on my own. Oh and yeah, it's going to cost over $600. Maybe I'll win that Powerball eventually, but for now, I'll stick with my Revoltech, ver Ka, and Riobots.

As I narcissistically keep tabs on who's saying what about my story this week--i.e., the one on the old media-new media sportswriting feud--I'm noticing a theme: there's a lot of disagreement out there about what, exactly, "blogs" and "bloggers" are. By way of example, here's a comment posted to a column by Salon.
Godspeed to Boston magazine senior writer John Gonzalez, who's leaving that post to write a sports column for the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It's a great move for Gonzalez, who'll be joining his hometown paper in an extremely high-profile position. But it's a real loss for the Boston media market. When he was on--and he usually was--Gonzalez may have been the most entertaining writer in the city.
In which I analyze the animosity between old-media sportswriters and their new-media counterparts--and argue that a truce might just be in the offing.
This may be obvious to some users, but it wasn't to me: to comment with this new blog engine of ours, you need to scroll down to the lower-right-hand corner of the post and click on "with no comments" (or "with one comment," etc.). You'll then be taken to a comment screen where you can speak your peace.
As you've probably noticed, there's some serious blog flux going on over at Phoenix HQ. The good news is that, if you're reading this, you've found the new Web home of Don't Quote Me, nee Media Log. Also, after disappearing for a few days, the last few months of posts have returned.
Now for the bad news. DQM's fancy new logo--which had been visible over the last few days at the old URL, thephoenix.
Thanks to the various readers who've noted the disappareance of a few months of Don't Quote Me content.
But fret not! I have it on good authority that said content isn't gone for good; instead, it's apparently in some sort of Internet limbo, and will be re-appearing before too long.
Last summer, Slate's Jack Shafer wrote a very funny column about Russia: Beyond the Headlines, a cheesy newspaper-style advertising supplement that ran in the Washington Post and was packed with Soviet-style propaganda.
Judging from the inaugural issue of Moscow Open City, which arrived at the Phoenix earlier this week, not enough people in the Russian P.
Big loss for the Boston Herald: Casey Ross, who's done a fine job covering the State House for the past year and half, is leaving that paper to join the Globe.
The Herald-to-Globe path is pretty well worn: current Globe staffers who've followed it include metro columnist Kevin Cullen, magazine writer Charlie Pierce, and legal reporter Shelley Murphy
A few weeks back, I urged the political press to pursue 10 John McCain stories--including the dissolution of his first marriage and its implications for the McCain Myth.
This story from Britain's Mail on Sunday does exactly that. The whole piece is worth reading, but here's a lengthy excerpt:
McCain likes to illustrate his moral fibre by referring to his five
years as a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam.
Granted, today's Sidekick centerpiece is a lite little affair aimed at updating the rivalry between Boston and Los Angeles. But it still seems weird that the first thing Mark Shanahan cites in Boston's favor is...Whitey Bulger.
Here's Shanahan's homage:
All of the great LA gansters--guys with noir names like Mickey Cohen, Jack Dragna, and Jimmy "The Weasel" Fratianno--are long dead.
--Tony Massarotti: he made a heroic return from injury.
--Basketbawful: he got freaked out and then realized he was actually okay.
--Bill Simmons: maybe that, or maybe he was genuinely hurt, but whatever.
--Bill Plaschke: he's a shameless exaggerator.
--Jalen Rose: ditto (click "NBA Finals" and "Paul Pierce: Hurt or Injured?")
Let me be clear: right now, I wouldn't want State Senator Jim Marzilli within 100 feet of any female family members or friend.
Having said that, I'm struck by the fact that there's almost no media discussion of the fact that Marzilli's ongoing implosion could be linked to a serious mental problem. Jim Braude alluded to this possibility on his WTKK show today; Howie Carr mocked it in today's column; and there's an ongoing discussion at Blue Mass.
As an obsessive reader of TrueHoop, ESPN's fine basketball blog, I was somewhat dismayed by author Henry Abbott's initial response to Boston:
Anyone who has lived in New York, I suspect, finds Boston to be
unbelievably ... tidy. New York is a city where respectable upper class
people have favorite graffiti artists. It's also a place where you can
hardly go a block without hearing an epithet or two.
In which I explore the press's muted coverage of a possible attack on that country.

Hi i have the Folliwing LAPTOP:
Vista 64bit (Ultimate)
2XHDD X 160GB / 7200rpm
2GM Turbomemory
and all extra stuff like: Wacom digit../ Blue Ray/ 4 GB RAM/ Q9300 Extreem Quadro/ etc.
Also update the BIOS to V 1.09
When i enabnle RAID in BIOS setup utility from AHCI >RAID during windows boot screen it suddenly goes blue screen and than restart.
I have Tried it all three possible ways:
1. Just only Enable RAID with out seting up RAID in the Intel Matrix RAID configuration menue (only Enable in BIOS)
2. Enable it BIOS than "F10" than "Ctrl I" in the Intel Matrix Screen Setup to "RAID 0" it ask me all data will be lost accepted it than restarted my LAPTOP used Recovery CDs the one i created from my LAPTOP Vista 64bit, after completing the setup it says sucessfully done restarts the Computer and than at the and same this, during windows bootup screen Blue Screen and restart. i tried to capture the error but it so fat restarting and unable to use the "Pause Break" button to see the error code.
3. Every thing same as in # 2 but this time i set it to "RAID1". result is the 100% same.
Your response to this will be highly appriciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You cannot have Turbo Memory and RAID configured at the same time.....it is one or the other. This is a current limitation of the Intel Matrix Storage Driver that I hope will be addressed soon.
This is why the Lenovo sales website will not allow you to configure a system with RAID and Turbo Memory together. So the most likely scenario is you configured your system at the time of purchase with "Internal RAID" not enabled.
If you want to setup RAID on your system, you will first need to remove the Turbo Memory chip.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
So when i Remove the Turbo Memory after can i install the memory Back once Raid is configured. and to install the turbo memory is it simply plug it in and out or there are any kind of Configurations ?
Again, you need to decide which configuration you want.....Turbo Memory or RAID.
It is one or the other.....they cannot currently coexist.
Consult the HMM (section 1130, pg 88) for instructions on Turbo Memory removal:
Hi there, Any news on Raid Setup while the Turbo memory is installed on W700 (2757). I tried to open the machine to detach the Memory but it is very sophisticated so I gave up and decided to wait un till the driver are released, I also have come across some kind of information saying:
(For those with SSD drives the benefits would be marginal or non-existent (guessing here). Note also that Turbo Memory is now compatible with ICH9M RAID mode of W700, see summary of changes section for Turbo Memory driver here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-67820 ). But clicking on this MIGR-67820 and down loading the Turbo memory drivers Version 184.108.40.2069-126.96.36.1997 it doest not stop the blue screen issue.
I will really be great full if you have any news related to this or any of your friends.
I'm having very similar problems! Do anybody know if disabling the turbo-memory (by driver? or removal?) solves the issue?
Some where on the internet i read a solution where I
1.installed (or ghosted) the image onto a drive in the utrabay.
2. installed the raid-driver
3. made the raid-set on the two drives and bios
4. ghosted the image back to the raid-set
The problem here is that the driver dosen't work / or let it self install. When the sata is enabled in bios the driver cannot be installed (no raid controller in the device magement). When the raid option is enabled the i get a bluescreen before startup of windows vista.
What to do?
Just tried to un-install the Intel Turbo memory, and the result was the same :-(
In this case there was no connection between the raid-setup and the turbo memory.

Hi there,
I took the trouble of unscrewing my w700 and removed the turbo memory physically, than installed OS using my Recovery CDs but there is no luck. It still shows the blue screen on start up and than restarts. I have tried it .
Hi Andy,
I did indeed psychically remove the turbo-memory, and the problem was the same.

Noisy Amp
My amp makes a noise on power down (through the speakers). Anybody any ideas?
Hello Vento, more details would help a lot, kind of noise, make and model of amp. These will help others give you ideas as to whether it is a problem or not.
This is quite normal.
And nothing to be very afraid of.
At power off the big electrolytic capacitors take some short time to dis-charge.
A way to avoid this would be to use an output relay.
This relay should immidiately disconnect speakers when OFF switch pressed.
This is probably how most commercial amplifiers do it.
Along with a delay to connect speakers at POWER ON.
To let everything get charged, settled and stable, before connect the speakers.
This will avoid any 'pop' sounds at power on.
Thanks for your replies so far. The amp is the Music Fidelity E10 and works fine other than this problem. I had thought on the lines of capacitor discharge, but this is not a short burst of sound, it sound more like an aircraft crashing! (not joking), and lasts about 5-6 seconds.
line up ......
i am very sory to say that there is no point to place an answer to a thread for the reason to just place one answer to a thread ......
i am surprized.... this is not like you at all .......
as far as i remember this amplifier does not feature a relay in the output .... i dont know the schematic but if this is some kind of trouble that occured now it might mean that during shut down your front stage comes out of balance ....
this will recuire a schematic to solve
5-6 seconds ... hmmm
If you can provide more info, somebody may figure out what is the trouble.
At least we now know what amplifier: Music Fidelity E10
Hi Sakis,
You speak like a real technician. lets find the fault. Not lets put something to hide the fault so you dont know it is there even if it is getting worse.
not the answer that I would expect from a respectable audio designer.:confused:
You sound like the snake in Jungle Book -"look into my eyes and trust me, nothing will happen" :devily:

Tiny Things
Got a new toy today, a cheap USB microscope. Even though the quality isn't great, it's so much better than looking through an eyepiece, with the obvious bonus that you can record images and movies.
Here's a clip I put together with it and a couple of hours of swearing at iMovie (warning: contains gametes!). I also added Jon Brion's Spotless Mind for a soundtrack, because it fit the length almost perfectly.
Hopefully that wasn't too disturbing for anyone. It's the first time I've ever verified that anything motile comes out of my gonads, so that's an interesting thing for me at least.
One weak point of the microscope is the camera itself, which is basically a super cheap and shitty web cam. Would be nice to have something like this with a bracket for an iPhone (which has a much better camera sensor).
PS if you're a fertility specialist let me know if there's anything I should be worried about here.

Storm Tracker: Winter Wonderland Headed to NYC Saturday
The New York City area is expected to get 3 to 5 inches of snow Saturday—but by the evening, that will turn into a mix of sleet and freezing rain and a low of 27 degrees. Sunday is warmer—there's a high of 38—but slush will likely puddle at intersections.

The Wellington City Council is changing the way it collects rubbish bags around the city, saying the new way is safer and cheaper.
Contractor EnviroWaste Services Limited has taken over the rubbish collection contract, using specially-designed trucks which were operated by one person, CitiOperations manager Mike Mendonca said.
Trucks would move around the city more slowly, and in most areas would not start before 8am.
The old scheme used to have one or two people running alongside the truck and riding on the back to load rubbish at the rear.
It was estimated the new service will save the council $200,000 annually.

|Looking back and ahead: Jordan Caron
|05.18.12 at 4:23 pm ET
With the Bruins' season in the books, WEEI.com will take a look at each player on the roster one-by-one to provide some perspective on what went wrong this season and what the future holds for the 2011 champions.
Jordan Caron
Age: 21
2011-12 stats: 48 games played, 7 goals, 8 assists, 15 points, even rating
Contract status: signed through 2012-13 season ($1.1 million cap hit), restricted free agent after next season
Looking back: After going back and forth between Boston and Providence and playing in 23 NHL games in the 2010-11 season, Caron's goal this time around was to stay with the big club for the entire 2011-12 campaign.
That didn't exactly happen, as Caron was sent to Providence six different times this past season. Unlike his first taste of the NHL in the Bruins' Cup-winning season, however, Caron was able to sustain a stretch in which he made clear why the Bruins selected him in the first round of the 2009 draft.
Caron totaled eight points over a six-game run from March 4-13 (four goals, four assists), and even saw his impressive play earn him time as a top-six forward after spending the vast majority of his NHL ice time as a third-or-fourth-liner.
Though his improved play down the stretch forced Daniel Paille to sit as the healthy scratch late in the season, Caron began the postseason in the press box. When the Bruins were struggling for offensive production in the first round, it seemed Caron could be inserted into the lineup in place of a fourth-liner in hopes of giving the team a bit of an offensive spark. Such strategy became a moot point, as Patrice Bergeron's oblique injury (which prevented him from taking faceoffs), forced Julien to play Caron instead of Shawn Thornton for the last two games against Washington just in case Bergeron went down during the game and the team needed a noter top-six forward.
Bergeron was able to play through the pain in Games 6 and 7, so Caron averaged 6:41 of ice time in his first two career playoff games.
Looking ahead: While Benoit Pouliot's surprising consistency and the trade for Brian Rolston made it tough for Caron to stay in the lineup (and even on the NHL roster) for the entire season, you would have to think that next season will be Caron's time to stick.
Given the plethora of free agent forwards (Rolston, Chris Kelly, Paille, Gregory Campbell and the restricted Pouliot) and the fact that the B's wouldn't want to stunt to their former first-round pick's development, the stars seem to be aligning for Caron to finally be given a full-time chance in the NHL.
Caron has spent practically all of his time in the NHL this point as a bottom-six forward when he's been in the lineup, and it would seem that he'll be in for more of the same next year. If Paille isn't re-signed, Caron could end up skating with Campbell and Thornton while pushing for time on the third line. That isn't to say there might not be immediate opportunity for Caron on the third line by the time training camp rolls around. Rolston could retire, the team could opt to not retain Pouliot or Kelly could opt for a bigger paycheck in a different market. Should Kelly leave, Rich Peverley could be an option to play center in Kelly's place, and if either Rolston or Pouliot isn't back, Caron could take the vacated wing spot. The Quebec native has played both left and right wing in the NHL for the B's.
The thinking here is that the Bruins should do what they can to ensure Caron gets a prolonged look on the third line next season, preferably with Kelly as the pivot should they bring back the alternate captain. While the team's offensive depth is undeniable, the Bruins have yet to fully replace Michael Ryder's offensive production with a third-line winger. With a full season, something along the lines of 18 goals shouldn't be too out of reach for Caron.
Regardless of line he plays on next season, Caron will also be an option to serve more as a penalty killer for the B's. Claude Julien obviously values two-way players highly, so don't think he won't try to get everything he can out of the defensively savvy youngster.
|Brian Rolston is finally over 'whatever happened in Long Island'
|03.28.12 at 12:33 pm ET
February 27 was a day of liberation for Brian Rolston.
He was traded from the hapless New York Islanders with no chance of making the playoffs back to the Bruins, who are still among the favorites to reach another Stanley Cup final.
Rolston has certainly been inspired.
In his current seven-game scoring streak, he has three goals and nine assists, already matching his productivity in 49 games with the Islanders this season. The Bruins have won three in a row for the first time in over 40 games.
"Just been given a great opportunity, the coaches have shown a lot of confidence in me in certain situations that gives me confidence as a player, and obviously playing with two great players helps out a lot as well," Rolston said after Tuesday's 5-2 triumph over Tampa Bay. "I think we just have good chemistry together, that's about it. I've produced over my career and you know whatever happened in Long Island happened in Long Island and it's past that now."
What happened on Long Island was four goals and five assists in 49 games for the team that has served as the perennial doormat of the Eastern Conference for the last decade.
Rolston has tasted success from the Stanley Cup before, winning it all with the 1995 New Jersey Devils. He sees these Bruins picking up momentum at just the right time.
"Well, you know obviously we had two real tough games on the road that we won, those were huge games for us," Rolston said. "Just to get confidence, when you win you get confidence. This team is so good structurally that it's just a matter of time before you do put it together, but this is a good time to put it together for sure and it's a good team in here, great team."
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara is notoriously humble and soft spoken about his own accomplishments.
That's why it's often a good idea to listen to his teammates and coach when trying to gauge what impact he's had on the Bruins, even a teammate like Brian Rolston who hasn't shared a dressing room with him for that long.
Asked what he's learned about Chara since coming back to Boston in a deadline trade with the Islanders, Rolston was honest enough.
"Probably nothing," Rolston said. "He's so hard to play against; he's a tremendous leader. Obviously he does that by example, but he's the toughest guy to play against in the league ' bar none. If you were to pull the forwards on every team they would say the same thing and coming in on a nightly basis knowing that you have to face him ' it's a tough task."
Rolston set up the game-winner of Tuesday's 5-2 triumph over Tampa Bay when he tried a wraparound midway through the third, only to have the puck flutter its way out to a wide open Benoit Pouliot. But the heroics of Rolston and Pouliot don't happen without Chara, who has he did all night, brought the puck in deep into the offensive zone to apply more pressure on a team known for its stingy defense.
The secondary assist was Chara's third of the night, a night on which Chara matched a career-high with three helpers and was honored before the game for becoming the latest and greatest member of the NHL's 1000-game club.
"Yeah, those were big," Rolston added. "Z had a great game, another great game for us. It's huge, it's huge ' if you can get the defensemen helping out, and especially against on team like that that collapses down all the time. It's difficult to get anything going down low so it's great to have defensemen contributing offensively."
That's exactly what Chara did when he took the puck midway through the first at the Tampa Bay blue line and charged around the zone like Wayne Gretzky, eventually running at the net, creating a scoring chance for Shawn Thornton when Dwayne Roloson left a juicy rebound.
"Basically, I get a puck on the blueline, I was trying to ride the blueline and then just kind of opened up and I really decided to challenge that seam and once I got a little bit more room, I was kind of deciding between a shot and pass," Chara explained. "But again, everything was happened and I decided to take it to the net and we've always been taught when you do those things, good things happen and they did. We scored on the rebound, and it ended up being a good play." Read the rest of this entry »
|Greg Zanon won't play for Bruins Tuesday night
|02.28.12 at 12:17 pm ET
Bruins coach Claude Julien said after Tuesday's morning skate that he expects additions Brian Rolston and Mike Mottau to be in the lineup when the B's take on the Senators Tuesday night. Greg Zanon just arrived in Boston and did not take part in the morning skate and will not play Tuesday.
Julien added that forward Shawn Thornton, who has been sick recently, is expected to be in the lineup. Thornton was present for Tuesday's morning skate.
Rolston, who was acquired with Mottau from the Islanders Monday, centered Benoit Pouliot and Jordan Caron in the morning skate.
Julien said he was "really happy with the moves, which provide the B's with depth for the stretch run.
"Depth doesn't mean they don't belong in our lineup," Julien said, "it means we have a lot more options now."
|Breaking down Bruins' additions of Greg Zanon, Mike Mottau, Brian Rolston
|02.27.12 at 4:14 pm ET
After what was looking like a very quiet trade deadline, the Bruins did indeed pull of a pair of trades, landing the likes of Greg Zanon, Mike Mottau and Brian Rolston. According to capgeek.com, the Bruins added $7.8 million against the salary cap with the three trades.
B's general manager Peter Chiarelli is set to address the media at 5:00 p.m. here at TD Garden. Until then, here are some quick reactions to the two deals.
Zanon deal: Bruins trade defenseman Steve Kampfer to Wild for defenseman Greg Zanon
Reaction: At face value, the Bruins traded a defenseman who couldn't crack the top six for a defenseman who should end up on the second pairing with Dennis Seidenberg.
Zanon, 31, is in the last year of his contract and carries a $2.1 million cap hit. The 5-foot-11, 202-pound veteran averaged 18:37 of ice time in Minnesota this season, and last year he was second in the league with 212 blocked shots. That makes him a solid pickup, especially if he can fit well with Seidenberg for the rest of the season before Claude Julien presumably reunites the Seidenberg-Zdeno Chara super pairing.
Of course, if Zanon ends up playing on Seidenberg's pairing, that would mean that Joe Corvo has lost his spot in the Bruins' lineup (at least once Johnny Boychuk is back in the lineup). That's the assumption at this point, as it seemed all along that one of the Bruins' biggest needs at the deadline was an upgrade at Corvo's spot. Corvo, a free agent at season's end, has been prone to bad turnovers and has not produced as much offensively as he has in seasons past with other clubs.
One stat with Zanon that sticks out: He has just 27 shots on goal in 39 games this season. By comparison, Adam McQuaid has the lowest total amongst Bruins' regulars with 39. He's played six more games than Zanon, but he's also average about three less minutes per game.
As far as the compensation goes, consider this scribe somewhat surprised to see Kampfer go. The 22-year-old blue liner had been up for stretches at a time over the last two seasons. He showed promise with his speed and skills in the offensive zone, but he never got enough consecutive games this season to look quite as comfortable as he did when he was first called up by the Bruins last season.
The good news for Kampfer is that he'll get a break from life as a seventh defenseman and actually play in Minnesota.
Mottau/Rolston deal: Bruins trade AHL defenseman Marc Cantin and forward Yannick Riendeau to Islanders for defenseman Mike Mottau and forward Brian Rolston
Chiarelli brought a couple of players back to Boston, as Mottau played his college hockey at Boston College, while Rolston played five seasons for the Bruins after being acquired in the Ray Bourque deal.
Mottau was recently activated off injured reserve by the Islanders, as he was out from Dec. 29 until Sunday with a concussion. In 29 games this season, the 31-year-old has two assists and a minus-10 rating. He should be an extra guy on the Bruins' lineup.
As for Rolston, he becomes the Bruins' lone pickup to address their injury-bitten offense. With both Nathan Horton (concussion) and Rich Peverley (knee) out, the 39-year-old Rolston is by no means a replacement for either, though he can handle minutes on the Bruins' third line for the time being. He also brings a good veteran presence. From his days with the Bruins (2000-2004), only Patrice Bergeron remains on the roster.
As NESN's Douglas Flynn notes, Rolston's $5.0625 million cap hit actually makes him the Bruins' highest-paid forward, and second-highest player behind Chara ($6.9 million).
This trade lands the B's a couple of veterans whose impact will be limited, but given the cost, it was a deal worth making. Neither Cantin nor Riendeau figure to make much of an impact at the NHL level.
|Bruins add three players at trade deadline
|at 3:30 pm ET
The Bruins reportedly added three players on the day of the NHL trade deadline, swinging a deal with the Islanders for former Bruin Brian Rolston and defenseman Mike Mottau, as well as acquiring defenseman Greg Zanon from Minnesota.
According to TSN, the Bruins sent AHL defenseman Marc Cantin and forward Yannick Riendeau to the Islanders in exchange for Rolston and Mottau. Defenseman Steve Kampfer was traded to the Wild for Zanon.
Zanon's 212 blocked shots was second in the NHL last season. The 31-year-old has a minus-1 rating with two goals and four assists for six points this season. He has averaged 18:37 of ice time per game.
First acquired by the Bruins from the Avalanche in the Ray Bourque trade in 2000, Rolston, now 39, played five seasons in Boston, includinga 31-goal campaign in the 2001-02 season. He has also played for the Devils, Avalanche, Wild and Islanders. In 49 games this season, he has four goals and five assists for nine points.
The 33-year-old Mottau has a minus-10 rating with two points (both assists) in 29 games this season.
With the moves, the B's also assigned Andrew Bodnarchuk, Carter Camper and Max Sauve to Providence.

Vandals set $150,000 dragon boats on fire

Damage . . . smoke from the grounds of Glebe High School billows across the Sydney skyline yesterday.Photo:Matthew Warnken
A group of teenagers may have started a fire in the grounds of Glebe High School, destroying 12 dragon boats worth $150,000, witnesses said yesterday.
The boats, three of which were new, were owned by Dragon Boats NSW, whose members were training for the World Championships in China.
"I'm so angry," the organisation's president, Melanie Cantwell, said last night. "Our Australian team is going overseas to compete soon and now they can't train."
Four fire crews were called to Glebe High at 4.50pm after reports that racks carrying the boats were on fire.
Barry Anderson, a local resident, said he was just pulling up at the nearby pub when he smelt the smoke. "I looked across and there were some flames there and then I saw five or six young blokes - aged about 15, I'd say - take off up the road," he said.
"I don't know if they had anything to do with it but they was running. Usually kids stop and watch fire."
Another witness saw youths running west along Pyrmont Bridge Road after the fire was lit.
A police spokesman said the fire was being treated as arson.
Ms Cantwell said it was not the first time the boats had been targeted. "Last week one was pushed in the water. The boats are 12 metres long and weigh 250 kilograms so it's not like one person chucked it in," she said.
On Sunday night there was an attempt to set them alight. "Some of our guys had come back in from training and saw the fire smouldering under a seat," she said. "They were able to put it out before it took hold. It seems it wasn't good enough for them, so they came back for a second attempt."
Ms Cantwell said the Australian team was due to compete in the World Championships in Shanghai on October 21.
"Our team is training five times a week - now what are they going to do?"

Dutch-born FARC rebel Tanja Nijmeijer narrowly escaped with her life after her diaries were discovered in a raided guerrilla camp.
The FARC's military leader at the time, Mono Jojoy, wanted her executed. Another FARC leader, Raúl Reyes, prevented an execution. At least, that's the story according to a book by Colombian journalist Jineth Bedoya.
But another reporter, Jorge Enrique Botero, claims that by then Tanja was involved in a relationship with a cousin of Mono Jojoy's, which kept her out of harm's way.
Recent reports and videos emerging from the Colombian jungle may be spectacular, but they also contradict each other. A case in point is Tanja's escape after the 2007 air attack on the camp where her diaries were found.
In a video (below, English subtitles) made by Mr Botero, Tanja explains how she ended up in Mono Jojoy's camp. "He was happy to see us," she said. "And he was genuinely interested in how we got there.
RNW was told a totally different story, however, by Jineth Bedoya, a journalist of the respected El Espectador newspaper. Ms Bedoya told RNW's Latin America desk, "Arriving at Mono Jojoy's camp, Tanja was told that her diaries had been found and published. Mono Jojoy was outraged and wanted her punished. If that had happened, it would have meant certain death for her." The journalist said the Dutch guerrilla's life was saved by the then FARC commander, Raul Reyes. "He feared that her death could discredit FARC internationally."
What the journalists agree on is that Tanja is edging closer to the centre of power. She is teaching English to FARC fighters, including the son of the late FARC leader Marulanda. "But," Ms Bedoya of El Espectador wrote, "Tanja is not in a higher position than other fighters. Even though she is enjoying certain privileges, like internet access."
Video reporter Jorge Enrique Botero met Tanja last September in Mono Jojoy's camp, just twenty days before it was destroyed by the Colombian army. Mono Jojoy was killed in that air attack, but it is still unclear what has become of Tanja Nijmeijer and her fellow fighters.

The Polished Teacher
Thank you so much. This will be great to start out this year with all this organization.ReplyDelete
Thank you Deanna and thank you for the prayers! Even our principal requested the other grade level teachers to pray for us the Kindergarten teachers. We have a lot of students in Kindergarten this year and we don't have any aids. We also have the lowest academically group of students that we have ever had. I am confident I can do this with God's help. I appreciate all you do and the inspiration you are to me!!!ReplyDelete
Deanna, Thank you for your generosity in giving so many of us a "leg up" in organizing our data. We just started CC for K5 in SC this past year.

Eased rules sought in Olympian slaying case
Prosecutors filed a motion this week asking a judge to allow a mental health expert to question an Oxnard woman about details of the night she allegedly shot and killed her Olympic athlete husband.
Ventura County Superior Court Judge Nancy Ayers last month granted prosecutors' request for a forensic psychologist to evaluate Jane Laut. Ayers said the prosecution's expert cannot ask Laut about any factual information regarding the night of the killing, but the psychologist can ask about her state of mind at the time.
Ayers also ruled the interview should not exceed 20 hours and any additional time would need court approval.
The prosecution motion was brought before Ayers on Friday, with Laut appearing in court.
Laut, 57, is charged with first-degree murder and a special enhancement of intentionally discharging a firearm and causing great bodily injury. Prosecutors say she shot her husband, Dave Laut, 52, at their Oxnard home on Aug. 27, 2009. A former Olympic shot putter, he was athletic director at Hueneme High School.
Gail Pincus, an expert on battered-woman syndrome, and Kay Emerick, a clinical psychologist, are on the list as possible defense witnesses. Defense attorney Ron Bamieh said prosecutors have known for years that Laut's defense would involve battered-woman syndrome.
Bamieh has said Dave Laut beat his wife regularly and emotionally abused her during their nearly 30 years of marriage.
In his motion, Senior Deputy District Attorney Rameen Minoui argued limiting the prosecution's expert witness could lead to an inaccurate and one-sided determination of Laut's mental state at the time of the shooting.
"In order to effectively challenge the defense's expert evidence and in ascertaining accurate fact finding, The People's expert must retain the same opportunity provided to the defense to examine the Defendant," Minoui wrote. "Because the defense's expert used the facts and circumstances surrounding the shooting to come to their conclusion as the Defendant's state of mind, the only way for The People to fairly rebut such evidence is for its expert to be privy to the same information."
Bamieh has until Friday to respond to the motion. Both sides are scheduled to appear before Ayers on Aug. 19 to discuss the motion.

The design and evaluation of a mobile sensor/actuator network for autonomous animal control
Wark, Tim, Crossman, Chris, Hu, Wen, Guo, Ying, Valencia, Philip, Sikka, Pavan, Corke, Peter, Lee, Caroline, Henshall, John, Prayaga, Kishore, O'Grady, Julian, Reed, Matt, & Fisher, Andrew (2007) The design and evaluation of a mobile sensor/actuator network for autonomous animal control. In Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Information processing in sensor networks, ACM, MIT Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, pp. 206-215.
This paper investigates a mobile, wireless sensor/actuator network application for use in the cattle breeding industry. Our goal is to prevent fighting between bulls in on-farm breeding paddocks by autonomously applying appropriate stimuli when one bull approaches another bull. This is an important application because fighting between high-value animals such as bulls during breeding seasons causes significant financial loss to producers. Furthermore, there are significant challenges in this type of application because it requires dynamic animal state estimation, real-time actuation and efficient mobile wireless transmissions. We designed and implemented an animal state estimation algorithm based on a state-machine mechanism for each animal. Autonomous actuation is performed based on the estimated states of an animal relative to other animals. A simple, yet effective, wireless communication model has been proposed and implemented to achieve high delivery rates in mobile environments. We evaluated the performance of our design by both simulations and field experiments, which demonstrated the effectiveness of our autonomous animal control system.

wikiHow to Create a Small Paper Book
A small 4-page book with cover and back pages can be very simply made. Its uses are multiple and surprising.
1Hold your square piece of paper (must be square) so that there is a top, bottom, and two sides. In the following steps, there are horizontal and vertical folds. It does not matter which side is horizontal and which is vertical; just designate one as horizontal and one as vertical.
2Fold paper in half vertically. Do not unfold.
3Fold paper in half horizontally. Do not unfold.
4Fold paper in half horizontally again. Unfold.
5Fold paper in half vertically again. Unfold.
6Holding the paper fold-side up, cut along the vertical line halfway across the paper, until it reaches the intersection of folds.
7Separate bottom halves of paper, so that the closer half is facing you, and the farther half is pointing away.
8Fold one half of the paper down, and turn it 180° so that it is now upside-down.
9Fold all the edges together and make a book.

Murray threat looming large over Federer ahead of semis
The Scot is attempting to win a second consecutive Grand Slam as he faces the former world No.1 in the Australian Open semis.
Melbourne: On the eve of the Australian Open, Novak Djokovic was asked if he had noticed anything different about Andy Murray.
"He has a shorter haircut," said the five-time Grand Slam winner, smiling.
But then the top-ranked Djokovic turned serious, because Murray's makeover is no joking matter.
The 25-year-old Scot is attempting to win a second consecutive Grand Slam after a breakthrough year that included wins at the London Olympics and the U.S. Open. He arrived in Melbourne with a new demeanor, a sense of calm and confidence that has become a topic of conversation.
"I think mentally something switched in his head," said the top-seeded Djokovic. "And he just started believing much more in his abilities."
"Now that he's done it, he's definitely right up there, one of the first few favorites for any tournament he plays," Djokovic said, as if looking into a crystal ball.
On Wednesday, the third-seeded Murray advanced to the semifinals to take his spot in an all-star lineup featuring the world's top four players.
No. 1 Djokovic has the first semifinal Thursday against No. 4 David Ferrer, who took the spot in the absence of an injured Rafael Nadal.
On Friday, the third-seeded Murray faces No. 2 Roger Federer for the latest rematch in a tight rivalry. Murray leads Federer 10-9 in career matches, including at last year's Olympic final. But he has played the Swiss star in three Grand Slam finals and lost them all.
"I'm expecting a tough match," said Federer, who described Murray as clever and tactical. "He's changed his game around a bit. He's playing more defensive. I'm looking forward to it."
Federer is on a determined roll to win his 18th Grand Slam. The Swiss star stamped his authority on center court by beating the amazingly athletic Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3 to reach the Australian Open semifinals for a 10th consecutive year.
After losing, Tsonga picked his favorite to win: "I would say Andy, for the moment. But it could change, of course."
Murray won his quarterfinal against Jeremy Chardy of France 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 to continue a streak of straight-set wins into the semis. Of all the men in the draw, Murray is technically the freshest having spent the least time on court - just under nine hours in the past 10 days.
A visibly shaken Chardy walked into his post-match news conference saying he couldn't believe how well Murray had played.
"I've played him several times, and every time I always thought I had a chance," said the 36th-ranked Frenchman who beat Murray when they last met in August in Cincinnati. "Today he never let me think even once I had a chance to win."
"He's calm on the court," Chardy added. "He was so concentrated, and had so much intensity from the start. Right away I was in difficulty. And during the whole match he never dropped his level."
Murray's intensity on court, diminishes only slightly in his post-match news conferences where he is modest, polite and mild-mannered.
"I thought I did a pretty good job throughout the match," he said, adding that he was pleased to have reached the 12th Grand Slam semifinal of his career. "I can't be disappointed about being in the semis of a slam without dropping a set. That would be silly."
Murray reached the Australian Open semifinals last year, losing to Djokovic. He was twice a finalist in Melbourne in 2011, when he also lost to Djokovic, and runner-up in 2010 to Federer.
Just before arriving in Melbourne last year, Murray teamed up with Ivan Lendl whose coaching has helped produce his added aggressiveness and a new willingness to take chances on court.
Under Lendl's tutelage, Murray made his breakthrough.
He became the first man to win at the Olympics and the U.S. Open in the same year. His win at Flushing Meadows made him the first British man in 76 years to win a Grand Slam - and lifted an enormous burden.
"I kind of maybe always felt like I was having to prove something every time I went on court because I hadn't won a slam," Murray said before the tournament started. "It's nice to not have to worry about that anymore."
After his Wednesday quarterfinal, Murray dismissed comments in the British media that he was upset by having to play all day matches in the hot sun while Federer was given cooler night slots during primetime viewing hours on center court.
"I have no complaints about the schedule at all, and I didn't complain about it the other day," Murray said. "Sometimes it works in your favor and sometimes it doesn't."
The Federer-Tsonga quarterfinal was held Wednesday night at a packed Rod Laver Arena, but instead of studying his next opponent Murray said he planned to practice at a nearby court.
"Tonight, rather than going and watching this match, I'll go out and hit some balls under the lights to be as best prepared as possible."
Asked if he felt prepared to go against his old rivals, Murray replied: "Hopefully, I will go into the matches a little bit calmer than usual, or then I have in the past."

If I Get Social Security Disability, Will I Get Health Care Benefits?
Does being found disabled by Social Security automatically make me eligible for free health care insurance?
Many people think that when they are approved for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) disability benefits, they'll receive health care insurance. This isn't quite the case, but it's close. If you receive SSI, you will automatically be put on Medicaid, a state need-based free medical care program that pays for a certain number of doctor visits and prescriptions.
If you are approved for Social Security Disability (SSD), you will not receive Medicaid, but instead will receive Medicare. However, you will not go on Medicare until two years after your date of eligibility for SSD. For more information, see our article on Medicare and Medicaid for disability recipients.

A few things I'd like to share. I'll keep to the rule of threes.
> Another of my recent Boot Camp students wrote about how the experience helped her make commitments to her writing and to develop a submissions strategy. She had this to say about me: "She was TOUGH. She was DIRECT. She was HONEST." I'm proud of that because I think it's my job to be all three of those things when it comes to writers who spend money, time, and energy working with me.
> Last year, my husband and I were so relieved to be done with the grueling process of filling out our first college financial aid forms, we temporarily forgot we'd be at it again this winter, and -- with one kid a freshman in college right now and another a freshman in high school -- again and again...until...2020. I have an essay up over at BaristaKids today about one aspect of the funding gauntlet. Hope you'll hop over and read, "Same Time Last Year -- Paying for College: Forms, Good Intel...and Wine."
> I like to work "both sides of the desk," so to speak, and so am happy to have recently been appointed Creative Nonfiction Editor for the forthcoming online journal, Compose. The first issue is in the works, and I'm pleased to be working with a talented group of editors representing several countries.

The Kennedy clan's best hope of keeping alive the family political tradition yesterday ruled out standing for Congress in November.
Joseph P Kennedy III, grandson of Robert Kennedy and son of former Congressman Joseph P Kennedy II, confirmed he had been discussing a run with his friends and family but finally decided against doing it this year. He did not rule out standing at a later date.
There has been an unbroken run of Kennedys in Congress since 1947.
After the death of Senator Ted Kennedy and the decision of representative Patrick J Kennedy not to seek re-election in November's mid-term election, the era appears to be finally coming to an end.
Joseph P Kennedy III had emerged as the one most likely to maintain the family legacy.
The 29-year-old Harvard law school graduate is a former member of the Peace Corps and an assistant district attorney in Massachusetts, with an office close to the family compound on Cape Cod.
He is the great-grandson of patriarch Joe, the multimillionaire whose ambition for his family was the driving force behind the eventual clan political dominance in Massachusetts and nationwide.
Kennedy told AP: "I certainly thought about it a bit with close friends and family."
He had been under no special pressure to carry on the family tradition, he said.
"Members of my family have said politics is an honourable profession, but there's a lot of ways to serve," he added.
He listed the work of relatives in other areas, such as social work and charity, and his own work in the law.
"At this moment, I think I've found my way to serve," he said.
"I've got a job I love being an assistant district attorney on the Cape, and I want to get better at it at this point. I know serving in Congress would be a great job, but I've got a great job."
Kennedy had worked on the Senate re-election campaign of Ted Kennedy in 2006 and been active in politics in other ways.
The November mid-terms are building up as a riskyoption for Democrats, even in Massachusetts, normally a Democratic state.
The victory of the Republican Scott Brown in January in Ted Kennedy's seat makes Democrats vulnerable across the US, even those with the Kennedy name and its long association with Massachusetts.
Kennedy had been cited as a potential replacement for Congressman William Delahunt, who is widely expected to announce he will not stand for re-election.
Delahunt has several times over the last few years been reported to have lost interest in politics, and he, like other Democrats who have decided not to stand again, may not fancy his chances this year in the face of anti-Democratic sentiment.

Gavern, Cusumano in action!
By Kurt Wolfheimer
KEA Boxing is set to kick off the Memorial Day weekend with their second exciting installment of the "Boxing at the Woodlands" series on Saturday, May 23rd. Headlining the show at the beautiful Woodlands Inn & Resort in Wilkes-Barre, PA will be a six round heavyweight clash featuring former Scranton Police Officer, Jason Gavern (17-5-3, 8KO's) and the always dangerous heavyweight Willie Perryman (10-19, 7KO's) of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Another hometown hero is also slated for action in the six round co-feature of the evening as Old Forge, PA's own Anthony Cusumano (3-2-1, 2KO's) will swap punches 6'3" super featherweight Nathan Francis (2-5, 1KO).
Gavern, the 2001 Golden Gloves champion, is looking to build on the solid performance of his one sided victory over 353 pound behemoth Michael Rhodes on April 11th at the Woodlands, when he faces Willie Perryman, a true gatekeeper of the heavyweight division. Perryman has tested some of the top heavyweight prospects and will provide quite a test for Gavern. The combined record of Perryman's last four opponents is an almost unheard of (69-1, 51KO's). Perryman packs a powerful punch though, as shown when he broke the orbital bone of heavy handed slugger Big John Poore (20-3, 18KO's) and almost pulled the upset.
Last month at the Woodlands, it was Gavern who was tested by the oddity in the 353 pound Rhodes, this time it will be Old forge PA's Anthony Cusumano, who at 5'5" tall, will try to handle the extremely tall super 6' 3" super featherweight Nathan Francis. Cusumano who prefers to trade on the inside will have to find a way to negate the incredible reach of Francis if he is to continue his winning ways.
Also scheduled to appear on the undercard is undefeated lightweight sensation Antonio "Tony the Tiger" Espinosa (10-0, 1KO), against the always deadly opponent to be determined in a six round clash. Espinosa showed the town of Wilkes-Barre that he is ready to take it to the next level, winning every round against Durrell Martin in April at the Woodlands.
Two other fighters from the very same card will be competing, but will come into the show under different circumstances. Lightweight "Pretty Boy" Clinton Douglas (2-3-2) and middleweight April Richards (0-1) will look to rebound from losses and have recommitted themselves to the game. Douglass will try to get back on track when he faces Jean Ramos (0-2). Richards, who lost a close toe to toe battle with Julie Albanese that had the crowd on the feet throughout, will face an opponent to be determined in a four rounder.
Two other bouts are expected to be added.
