She is a former president of the New York Society for the Study of Multiple Personality and Dissociative Disorders, a board member of the New York Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, and a past board member of the New York Milton H. Erickson Society for Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. She is the author of several books, including Sacred Practices for Conscious Living.
PressestimmenNancy Napier has added to the healing literature for adult survivors of childhood trauma. . . . In reading this book, I continuously thought of how useful it would be to any of my current patients. --Christine A. Courtois, Ph.D., author of "Healing the Incest Wound"

Down the Elevator and in the Corridor
The elevator doors swung open waiting for them to step on and select their floor. Jim and Angie walked in backwards, something strange for most people, but they had motive. The cameras couldn't identify them from the back of their heads.
They managed to keep their voices in a low whisper in case people were lurking in the hallways waiting for the elevators.
"What are we going to do now?" Jim asked.
"What we do best," Angie replied.
They selected the floor under them and the "5" button glowed furiously in the dimmed container. In after what seemed like an hour, the elevator doors slowly opened, and the duo walked out.
Hiding behind a barrier, they peeked around to make sure they wouldn't be seen. After a thorough check, they rounded the corner and, at a brisk pace, walked down the dorm corridor until they reached large, double doors at the end of the hall.
Glancing behind their shoulders, they tried opening the large doors, and they slipped in the new room which contained a secret elevator. They took this illicit elevator down to the first floor, the only floor available for them, and waited until their ride had come to a sudden halt. Like last time, they stealthily slinked out of the large, metal box finding themselves in a room where they have never been before.

Academic matters
Results are very good for a lightly-selective provider: 62 per cent A*-B, 33 per cent A*-A at A level in 2016; 88 per cent distinction/distinction* at BTec. One of the largest centres for EPQ, with 339 students last year, two-thirds of those getting A*-B. Not quite the bulky numbers of high achievers you might find in a highly selective school, you might be thinking, but read on: stats from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show that BHASVIC students go on to get more first or high second class degrees than other sixth form providers; including independent schools. In the long term, BHASVIC equips students better to succeed at university, and, they might argue, in life.

- - Cockpit table material? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/51503-cockpit-table-material.html)
Cockpit table material?
I'm planning a folding cockpit table for the wheel pedestal as a winter project (among other things, of course) and want to avoid teak since we're already at the state of no exposed wood on deck.
Anyone have any views on UHMW vs HD Polyethylene vs Starboard? This table will need hinges for the fold out sections, so must be able to take and hold a screw without splitting, and of course the other issue would be UV resistance.
Thanks in advance.
Starboard would be my first choice of material. Although it's very expensive it has all the right properties for the job. I have worked with Starboard for my boat and for special projects in cabinetmaking (that's what I do for a living). If you haven't used it before, make sure to get familiar with the unique properties, use the right screws and most importantly pre-drill properly.
You can use all your regular woodworking tools. I usually cut it on my CNC router and it works very nicely.
I am building some companionway doors for my IP and have bought a whole sheet for that project and have material on hand (although only in 3/4" sunshade, the Island Packet color) in case you would need a source for less than a 4x8 sheet .... ( I am not trying in any way to make a business out of it,just trying to help knowing how hard it can be sometimes to get less than a full sheet)
Let the forum know how your project turned out and what you decided to do.
Good luck
Corian would work well.
Sailorman: I am sorry to disagree, but I recommend against any solid surface material to be used as a structural material for a folding cockpit table. Corian (just a brand name for a DuPont product) and other Solid Surface materials can be quite brittle! While they have wonderfully gluing properties and are perfect for kitchens and galleys they are not engineered to receive functional hardware like flush mounted folding hinges.
A couple years ago I dropped a vanity top I created for a customer out of Avonite, another Corian look-a-like. There were quite a number of pieces to clean up when this small top ( ~2'x3') hit the concrete floor. Since then I handle solid surface with even greater care until it is properly installed on a firm non-flexing sub-structure (cabinet).
With a solid surface cockpit table on my boat I would be afraid what would happen if this thing breaks (somebody falling against it in rough seas) and whether the fragments could cause injuries!
Consider Solid Surface more to be a very thick veneer than a structural building material.
Here is a link to a different site with a table a fellow made up your way on a Jeanneau sunfast 35. There is an email for him at the end of the article if you want to talk to him a bit more. Not sure if this is what you had/have in mind.......but it is an option!
I like the StarBoard suggestion. If you're going to use folding leaves, consider adding some kind of support for the leaves other than simply the hinges themselves. Ours does not have anything other than the hinges and it's not enough. I plan to add a pivoting cross brace to the bottom side.
I hate to do this.. really.. But Pollards lay to claim is the lego table.. it does strange things but he owns it... and popular.... it makes a Chucho, a airplane and the titanic and a guest of six can enjoy dining on the titanic..
Thanks for the link, Marty, but our traveller is not quite so in the way, and we have a quick release. Also I'm not thinking wood.
As for Starboard, I'm a bit concerned about the weight of it... I've seen a table like what I'm envisioning that I think was made of the HD polyethylene - the stuff that those white cutting boards are made of. It has a more pleasing finish too.. Volkhard, I appreciate your experience and comments and may well go that way - Mainesail's Starboard pedestal shelf looked pretty nice but it was fixed so the weight is less of an issue.
Anyhow appreciate all the responses, keep em coming.
The solution Jeff, ie linked table option, believe the table comes down and into a locker when NOT in use. IE the table only works at anchor or at dockside.
Was not sure if that option would work, but the design might work, just use wood or equal to suit your needs. There are plenty of plastic style woods that could make a neat table too.
My experience with UHMW (industrial applications) is that it is susceptible to UV damage and becomes more brittle with age. It also is very sensitive to temperature differences and tends to lose its shape after several expansion/contractions. Thirdly it is impossible to glue it either to itself or anything else. I was thinking of a similar project and share your views on wood. I was thinking of the cutting board material as well but have never tried to make anything out of it.

Top 10 extreme winery designs
There's nothing quite like an architectural statement to generate press interest for wine producers, but some have gone much further than others when it comes to winery design…
Over the following pages we've amassed ten of the most extreme winery designs, using examples from the famous wine regions of Europe and the New World as well as more obscure parts of the viticultural globe.
While there are examples of extravagant buildings at wine-producing properties around the world, most notably architect Frank Gehry's Hotel Marqués de Riscal at the eponymous Spanish producer's estate, the buildings featured below differ in that all the following structures contain working wineries.
This is also why this list don't include structures created purely for wine tourism, such as the new cellar door and lookout for Tasmania's Devil's Corner (pictured below), which was officially opened in December 2015, or Zaha Hadid's extension to Rioja's López de Heredia, which houses a tasting room that was completed in 2006 (pictured, bottom).
How did we choose these extreme wineries? Well, this is a selection of buildings where the form is as, if not more important than the function, and that form is striking. Indeed, these structures should display enough design flair to invite comment, even if it's negative.

Absolute Calibration of the Clementine UVVIS Data: Comparison with Ground-Based Observation of the Moon

Calibrated Clementine images of the Moon and data from Pieters's absolutized spectrophotometric catalog are compared. The scales of these two photometric systems are shown to differ greatly: the albedo of the lunar surface at a phase angle of 6° determined from the Clementine data turns out to be a factor of 2.5 higher than that inferred from ground-based photometry. The fact that the lunar-soil samples from the Apollo 16 landing site used for absolute calibration of the Clementine data are not representative may be responsible for the differences between the scales. Maps are constructed (for wavelengths of 0.42, 0.75, and 0.95 μm), which reproduce the distribution of the ratio of the brightnesses determined from telescopic images of the visible lunar hemisphere and from the corresponding Clementine mosaics. The comparison shows fairly good agreement in the details. On the average, the differences are about 10%. The streakiness of the Clementine mosaics are clearly seen in the maps, which is attributable to a low quality of the photometric joining of the data from two one-month imaging series.

The Cold Hard Truth
The moment I entered the Arena again, the same mind-numbing nerves that had assualted me the last time re-appeared. The crowd's shrieks hurt my ears more than they should and I felt my stomach twist into knots inside me.
From the other side of the ring, my opponent eyed me. He was a tall man, lean and muscular with powerful calf muscles and bulging forearms. Oddly, he was bare chested, giving me some hope that I might be able to do some damage. The four-foot bladed weapon in his hands soon dissuaded me from that idea. The man narrowed his eyes at me, glaring like an angry pitbull. I gulped and shifted uneasily on my feet, trying to quash the panic rising in my chest.
We started circling one another, slowly at first but gradually gaining speed. He feinted, swiping for my left calf before changing tack and trying to slice my midriff. I darted out of the way and lunged for his shoulder, only to have my blade smacked aside by my opponent's parry. Then he charged me like an angry bull, slashing and hacking at any part of me within striking range. I danced out of reach time and time again, barely avoiding the blade.
If I didn't keep moving I'd be skewered in seconds. A flash of memory from earlier that morning came back to me, of me jumping out of the way of Vengeance's claws as he attempted to reach my ribs.
Then it hit me. Of course. His ribs. With all this uncontrolled hacking this man was focussing on keeping the blade in front of him, trying to run me through with the sheer brute force of his muscular frame. Leaving his sides completely unprotected. All I had to do was goad him into making a particularly wild swing and I'd have him.
"Hey dog face" I hissed tauntingly "Come and get me you great clutz! I'm right in front of your face, why don't you swipe me? You great neanderthal, put some effort into it. You look like a hulking great clown chasing me like a child in a tag game. Come on, chase me you imbecilic dolt!"
The man roared in fury and swung hard at my head. Waiting until the last second I ducked under the blade and rammed my own weapon hard into his lower abdomen, blood spraying into my face as my opponent fell with a monstrous bellow, writhing in the dust like a creature in agony. Then, suddenly, he was still.
I stepped back, eyes wide and panting. He was dead. I had won.
The crowd went mad, whooping and cheering like animals as I staggered back, eyes popping out of my head in shock. I'd killed him. I'd killed the man. I'd only ever killed one person before, but not like this. Not in an Arena surrounded by jeering crowds. Not in cold blood.
I was still in shock as the guard lead me out of the ring and back into the side stalls. I stood in the corner, trembling and thinking over what I had just done. I'd killed a man. I'd killed a man with my own hands. His blood stained my skin. It stained my very soul.
I'd killed him to save my own life.
Then realisation dawned on me. If I wanted to survive I'd have to kill a good many more men than this, and in the same cold-hearted fashion. It was fight or die here, there was no other way out.
This wouldn't be the last kill I'd have to make if I wanted to stay alive.
It was a hard thing to believe, and I didn't want to believe it. But I had to. It was the truth.
The cold, hard truth.

Ally, Jade, Laura
Three people who had been ripped away from love. Why us? Why would anyone do this? Laura's dead may have been an acident. Ally was poisoned just after me.
Laura, Ally, Jade
How are we connected? I could see nothing, nothing at all. I returned to Ethan's house. Nothing...
Jade, Laura, Ally
Who would do this? What connection? Click.
My heart beat, metephorically, quickened. I shook my head. I floated out of the house, to my home, where my body still sat, locked away in my room, everything exactly where it was. I frowned, and gulped. That hadn't been there before.
A necklace was fastened round my body's neck. A silver chain. With a pendant. I shook my head, and drifted to the graveyard. I dipped into the ground of Ally's grave. The same necklace was fastened round her neck, as I looked at her pale form in the dark coffin. I shook my head once more. I went to Laura's grave. The same necklace was around her still, cold body.
That was it. That was the connection. The necklaces. All the same. Silver chains, with a single silver letter.
But why? They weren't there when they were buried, surely? Someone was playing a very clever, and very twisted game. And I had a hunch who was next.

Hey, This Is Really Hard!

A story in the October 27 edition of the Wall Street Journal states that television may no longer be the 'king of the hill' when it comes to watching programming.
Food for thought: Apple's high-end 10.1" iPad costs more than a 42-inch LCD or plasma TV (even a 42-inch LED-backlit LCD TV). And based on a presentation in my Display Technologies session at the just-concluded SMPTE Fall Technology Conference, more and more sales of 'displays' are going to switch to smaller, portable devices like the iPad, and away from conventional TVs.
Neither Internet-connected TVs nor 3D have helped revive TV sales, which slowed considerably after the 2008 recession. According to DisplaySearch, more than half of all new TVs shipped by 2015 will have Internet connections, just as more and more TVs will include 3D as a feature and not a premium upgrade.
The WSJ article quotes TV industry executives as speculating Apple, Google, and Amazon might enter the TV arena with products of their own. Apple's TV prototype is already circulating through factories in China, according to several published reports. And Amazon already has experience in mass distribution of content over its Kindle platform.
Profits are hard to come by in the TV business. Three of the top four Japanese TV manufacturers said they lost money on TV operations during Q2 '11, with Sharp being the exception – although Sharp's LCD fabrication business was its biggest loss leader in the same time period. I have previously documented Sharp's rapidly-diminishing market share in U.S. TV sales, which has been accompanied by a worldwide decline to about 8% of the market for the latest reporting period.
Over in Korea, similar red ink was seen at Samsung and LG's LCD fabs, according to the article. In contrast, the TV marketing and sales operations were profitable. The challenge that all manufacturers face is continually declining values even with larger and larger shipment volumes, and the fear that TVs will soon fall into the low-priced commodity trap of computer monitors.
Sony's continuing struggle to make a profit in LCD TVs for the past eight years shows that even a strong brand can't carry the day anymore. The real threat is between smaller, portable wireless tablets that can do an amazing job with video playback.
On my flight home last night from SMPTE, I counted two dozen iPads in use playing back cached video or DVDs, plus numerous notebook computers. Each and every one of those products is now climbing the hill, ready to topple the king…
NAB 2011: It's All About Streaming, Displays, and Connectivity

With each passing year, NAB looks less and less like a broadcaster's show and more like a cross between CES and InfoComm. It's a three-ring circus of product demos, panel discussions, conferences, and media events that all points to the future of 'broadcasting' as being very different than what it was at the end of the 20th century.
Officially, slightly less than 90,000 folks showed up to walk the floors of the Las Vegas Convention Center, and it was elbow-to-elbow in some exhibits. But there was another trend of smaller booths for the 'big name' exhibitors like Panasonic and JVC.
That reflects the reality of selling products that have mostly three and four zeros in their price tags. At my first NAB in 1995, it wasn't unusual to see $50,000 cameras and $80,000 recorders. Now, you can buy some pretty impressive production cameras for about $5,000.
Streaming and over-the-top video was big this year. Ironically, NAB featured an enormous streaming media pavilion back in 1999, but it vanished the next year. The reason? A lack of broadband services across the country that could support streaming at reasonable bit rates.
Obviously, that's all changed now, what with Netflix at 21 million subscribers and climbing, and MSOs deploying multi-platform delivery of video and audio to a plethora of handheld devices. Concurrently, the broadcast world is trying to roll out a new mobile handheld (MH) digital TV service to stand-along portable receivers and specially-equipped phones.
And behind all of this, the FCC continues to make noise that it wants to grab an additional 100 – 120 MHz of UHF TV spectrum to be repurposed for wireless broadband, a service you'll have to pay for. Attendees had mixed thoughts on whether the Commission will actually be able to pull this off – there is some opposition in Congress – but there appeared to be a high level of opposition to the plan, considering there is plenty of other spectrum available for repurposing, much of it already used exclusively for government and military purposes.
Like last year, there were lots of 3D demos, but the buzz wasn't really there. 3D still has a ways to go with its roll-out and it simply can't compete with the interest in content delivery to smart phones, tablets, and other media players. Still, there were some cool 3D products to be found here and there.
Here are some of the highlights from the show.
ATSC MH Pavilion – several companies exhibited a range of receivers for the MH services being transmitted during the show from Las Vegas TV stations and low-power rigs in the convention center. LG and RCA both showed some snazzy portable MH receivers, with LG's exhibit putting the spotlight on autostereo 3D MH (as seen at CES) and a service call 'Tweet TV' which would allow viewers to comment on shows they're watching and have those tweets appear on their MH receiver.
Another demo had CBS affiliate KLAS-DT transmitting electronic coupons for local retailers and restaurants during the show. These showed up on a prototype full-touch CDMA smart phone with a 3.2" HVGA screen.
In a nearby booth, RCA unveiled a lineup of hybrid portable DTV receivers. There are two 3.5" models (DMT335R, $119, and DMT336R, $159), a 7" version (DMT270R, $179), and a pocket car tuner/receiver that connects to an existing car entertainment center. It will sell for $129.
Motorola had two intriguing demonstrations. The first showed full-bandwidth 3D content distribution, using the full 38.8 Mb/s bandwidth of a 256 QAM channel to transport frame-packed 1080p video with full 1920×1080 left eye and right eye images, encoded in the MPEG4 H.264 format and sequenced through active shutter glasses.
Nearby, an HD video stream was encoded for four different displays, with all four signals carried simultaneously in the same bit stream. First up was a 1080p/60 broadcast; next to that a 720p/60 version, followed by a standard definition version (480i) and a version sized for a laptop computer or tablet. Both MPEG2 and MPEG4 codecs were used.
Red Rover attracted quite a crowd with their 28″ 4K (3840×2160) 3D video monitor which uses two 4K LCD panels arranged at 90-degree angles to each other (one on top, facing down). A half-mirror with linear polarization is used to combine the left and right eye images for passive viewing. Both LCD panels are Samsung vertically-aligned models, and the whole works will sell for (ready for this?) $120,000.
Volfoni showed dual-purpose 3D glasses at NAB. When powered on, they function as active shutter eyewear. Powered off, they are usable as passive 3D glasses. The whole shebang is controlled by an external power pack the size of an iPod nano that clips to your pocket or shirt, and this 'pod' can 'learn' any IR code from active shutter TVs.
The pod controller can step through several neutral density filters and there are several levels of color correction possible from the remote power pack. (Electronic sunglasses – imagine that!) The glasses use 2.4 GHz RF signaling technology to synchronize with any active shutter monitor or TV. And despite all of the bells and whistles, they weigh just over an ounce.
Sony's 17″ and 25″ BVM-series OLED monitors that were first shown at the 2011 HPA Technology Retreat now have siblings. The PVM-E250 Trimaster OLED display is structurally the same as its more-costly BVM cousin, but has fewer adjustments and operating features. And it's going to sell for quite a discount over the BVM version – just $6,100. There's also a 17-inch version which wasn't operating at the show, and it is expected to retail for $4,100.
Up at the front of the Central Hall, Panasonic was showing the TH-42BT300U, their first plasma reference-grade monitor. It's not all that different from the exiting 20-series industrial plasma monitors in appearance, but there's a big difference in operating features. Black levels have dropped and low-level noise has been minimized with a half-luminance PWM step. This results in more shades of gray and a smoother transition out of black.
In addition, the TH-42BT300U supports 3D playback for side-by-side and top + bottom color and exposure correction. Panasonic has also added automatic 'snap-to' color space menu options, along with a user-definable color gamut option. When calibrated, it was an eye-catcher. There's a 50-inch version also in the works, and both monitors will go on sale this fall.
Hyundai unveiled the B240X, a new 24″ passive stereo LCD monitor. It sports a 1920×1200 display with circularly-polarized film-patterned retarders and supports 3D side-by-side and top + bottom viewing formats. The pixel pitch is about .27 mm and brightness is rated at 300 nits. Hyundai also created an eye-catching 138″ (diagonal) 3×3 3D video wall for NAB, using its flagship S465D 46″ LCD monitor.
Sisivel has come up with a unique way to deliver higher-resolution 3D TV in the frame-compatible format. Instead of throwing away half the horizontal resolution for 1080i side-by-side 3D transmissions, Sisivel breaks the left eye and right eye images into two 1280×720 frames. The left eye frame is carried intact in a 1920×1080 transmission, while the right eye is broken up into three pieces – the top 50% of the frame, and two half-frames that make up the bottom.
All of this gets packed in a rather unusual manner (see photo), but some simple video processing and tiling software re-assembles the right eye fragments into one image after decoding. Then, it's a simple matter to sequence the lefty eye, right eye images as is normally done. The advantage of this format is that it has higher resolution than ESPN's top+bottom 3D standard (two 1280×360 frames).
JVC announced two LCD production monitors at NAB. The DT-V24G11Z is a 24-inch broadcast and production LCD monitor that uses 10-bit processing and has a native resolution of 920×1200 pixels. The extra resolution provides area above and below a 1080p image for metering, embedded captions, and signal status. The incoming signal can also be enlarged slightly to fill the entire screen.
The DT-3D24G1Z is a 24-inch passive 3D monitor with circular polarization patterned films. It has 1920×1080 pixel resolution, 3G HD-SDI and dual-link inputs, a built-in dual waveform monitor and vectorscope, left eye and right eye measurement markers, and side-by-side split-screen display for post production work including gamma, exposure, and color/white balance correction.
Nearby, crowds gathered to see two new 4K cameras that use a custom LSI for high bitrate HD signal processing. The demo used a Sharp 4K LCD monitor, and the cameras were running at 3840×2160 resolution. They have no model numbers or price tags yet.
Ikegami's field emission display (FED) monitor that attracted so much attention a few NABs ago, but was written off when Sony pulled out its investment from the manufacturer, is now back. Its image quality compared favorably with Sony's E-series BVM OLED monitors, and the images displayed with a wide H&V viewing angle and plenty of contrast pop. It was being used to show images from a Vinten robotic camera mount at NAB, and no pricing has been announced.
Dolby showed their PRM-4200 42-inch HDR LCD reference monitor at NAB. While this product is not new, there was a substantial price cut announced at the show to $39,000. Initial comments from the post production community have indicated the price is too high for today's economic environment. As a result, Dolby has apparently sold a few to video equipment rental houses for location and studio production work.
Digital SLRs are being used to shoot TV productions such as "House" and independent films, and they could use a couple of good monitors with hot shoe mounts. Nebtek had a 5.6" model at the show, as did TV Logic. Both models sport 1280×800 (WXGA) resolution, compatibility with HD-SDI and HDMI inputs, and have on-screen display of waveform/vectorscope details, focus assist, and chroma/luma signal warnings. Embedded audio from the cameras' HDMI output can be displayed on screen, and there are several scan and pixel mapping modes.
One of the more significant announcements at the show – at least, at first reading – was Verizon's Digital Media Services. The idea is to serve as an electronic warehouse for everyone from content producers to digital media retailers – in effect, an Amazon e-commerce model, except that Verizon wouldn't sell anything; merely 'warehouse' the assets and distribute them as need to whomever needs them.
Numerous companies showed real-time MPEG encoders, among them Z3 Technology, Visionary Systems, Haivision, Vbrick, Adtec, Black Magic Designs, and (of all people) Rovi, otherwise known for their electronic program guide software. Many of these encoder boxes can accept analog video (composite and component) as well as HDMI and DVI inputs. The general idea appears to be 'plug-and-play' encoding for IPTV streaming across a broad range of markets. The Black Magic encoder was the cheapest I've seen to date at $500, while price ranges on other models ranged as high as $9,000.
Tektronix had one of the funnier (unintentionally) demonstrations of test and monitoring gear. A new combination monitor, the WFM300, has a color anaglyph mode where you can see the interocular distance for red and cyan color anaglyph program material. Never mind the fact that color anaglyph isn't being used for much of anything except printed 3D these days, so what were the folks at 'Tek' thinking?
Finally, Sony showed they can be all wet but still on top of things with their demonstration of an HXR-NX70U 1080p camcorder operating normally while getting a pretty good hosing. The camera is completely water-sealed and dust-sealed for use in hostile environments, and records to internal hard disc drives and memory cards. The shower ran continuously during the show and the camera never even hiccupped. Fun stuff!
It's Deal Time!

Have you been checking TV prices lately? There are some amazingly good deals to be had on big screen TVs and they have nothing to do with Christmas carols, turkeys, and football games.
Right now, retailers are moving out older TV models to make room for the 2011 lines. And that means some big time discounts. Here are a few examples from last Friday's (March 11) Philadelphia Inquirer.
P. C. Richard, a New York City-based retailer with stores in New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, ran a half-page ad advertising some 'incredible deals' on TV and other goodies. Want a 42-inch Panasonic WiFi-ready plasma TV with 720p resolution? It's yours for $387.63 (TCP-42X3).
How about a 50-inch 3D-ready 1080p plasma TV? Take it home for $796.84 (TCP50GT25). By the way, the 50GT25 was one of the first Panasonic 3D TVs launched a year ago, and it was bundled with a Blu-ray player and a pair of glasses for about $2,800 at Best Buy.
Want a good deal on an LED LCD TV? Sharp's LC40LE820UN (yes, it is a Quattron model) has been cut to $698.74. This is a 40-inch 1080p set with 120 Hz motion correction.
Speaking of Blu-ray players, P.C. Richard is pushing Samsung's BD-C5500 out the door at $111.97. It supports Netflix and Pandora, but is NOT a WiFi player. You'll need a conventional network connection (RJ45) to set it up.
There are plenty of other TV deals to be had, and not just at P. C. Richard. I'd take a closer look at those Sunday fliers and cruise the Best Buy – Target – Wal-Mart – hhgregg Web sites to see what other deals you can score. (Don't forget Sears and the regional department store chains, either.)
Panasonic's 2011 TV and Blu-ray Press Briefings
- Published on Monday, 07 March 2011 13:54

Last Tuesday and Wednesday, Panasonic held press briefings on its 2011 TV and accessory product line at the House of Glass on 25th Street in New York City. Good choice of venue, considering all of the plasma and LCD TVs that were set up for inspection in front of enormous floor-to-ceiling windows.
As usual, plasma still rules the roost at Panasonic, although LCD technology continues to make inroads. This year, you'll find 19 new models of plasma TVs and a few new glass cut sizes, such as 55 inches (replaces the 54-inch size) and 60 inches (goodbye, 58 inches).
The line breaks down into three categories (and I'm using Panasonic's descriptions here) – twelve Full HD (1080p) 3D plasma TVs, four 1080p FHD plasma sets, and three 720p plasma TVs. (Yes, there is still a market for 720p plasma.)
The fact that almost two-thirds of all new Panasonic plasma TVs are 3D-ready reflects the market's response to higher-priced 3D TVs in 2010: Consumers just weren't interested in paying a premium for 3D. Now, you can get into a 3D plasma TV for as little as $1100 (TC-P42ST30), while a 50-inch set will cost you $1,500 (TC-P50ST30).
The top-of-the-line models carry the VT30 suffix and are being marketed in 65-inch and 55-inch sizes (TC-P65VT30, $4,300 and TC-P55VT30, $2,800). Readers may recall that Panasonic's first 3D offering a year ago was a 50-inch plasma with two pairs of active shutter glasses for $2,800 through Best Buy, so you can appreciate just how much pricing has changed over time.
In addition to the pair of VT30 models, there are four GT30 plasma 3D TVs from 50 inches ($1,900) to 65 inches ($3,700), and four ST30 variations that also range from 50 inches ($1,500) to 65 inches ($3,300). In the non-3D 1080p (S30) plasma category, Panasonic has four choices from 42 inches ($800) to 60 inches ($1,900), while the three 720p sets are priced at $600 (TC-P42X3), $700 (TC-P64X3), and $800 (TC-P50X3).
Many of these sets offer the VIERA Connect feature, which provides a host of connected Internet TV channels and specialized apps. Like Samsung, Panasonic is also hosting a connected apps marketplace and will open its platform and middleware technology to third-party developers and manufacturers.
Some of the more interesting apps that I saw included wellness and fitness apps from Body Media and ICON, one of which lets you track your weight on TV. (Somehow I think that's not going to be very popular with couch potatoes.) Of course, Skype is ever-present, as are Twitter and Facebook apps and Hulu Plus. And it goes without saying that Netflix is also on all VIERA Connect TVs.
Over on the LCD side, Panasonic raised some eyebrows by unveiling two of the smallest 3D TVs I've seen to date. The TC-L37DT30 (37 inches, $1,300) and TC-L32DT30 (32 inches, $1,200) both use IPS (In Plane Switching) LCD glass, generally the better choice for TVs as it doesn't have any off-axis color shift issues. And both TVs have LED backlights, which aren't too common in this screen size.
I checked out some 3D content on both panels and it was surprisingly free of crosstalk, a problem that often pops up with LCD 3D TVs due to all of the polarizers in the optical path. Both models have the full VIERA Connect suite and also claim a 240 Hz refresh rate.
Panasonic also has three E3-series models (32, 37, and 42 inches) which also employ LED backlights and will sell for $700, $800, and $950, respectively. Instead of full VIERA Connect features, these models offer Easy IPTV (Netflix, Amazon, and CinemaNow, plus Napster, Pandora, and Facebook). Another 42-inch LCD model (TC-L42E30) will ticket at $1,100 and adds easy IPTV plus LED backlighting and 120Hz processing, while the TC-L42D30 is a full 1080p LCD TV with VIERA Connect for $1,150.
What's interesting is that Panasonic now has as many 42-inch LCD TVs in their line (3) as they do plasma (3). What does that say about the future of 42 inches as a plasma TV size for Panasonic? Company representatives replied that Samsung and LG also sell plasma, but those companies are known largely as LCD TV brands. In contrast, Panasonic built its rep on top-notch plasma picture quality. Is it a price point play? Could be, as the 42-inch LCD sets have higher MSRPs than the equivalent PDPs. Maybe we're getting closer to the day where 42-inches will just become an LCD size.
Over in the Blu-ray department, Panasonic has four new models, one of which left me scratching my head. To set things up here, I should mention that Blu-ray player prices have taken precipitous drops in 2010, and that has resulted in an upwards spike in BD player sales. But I would venture – and so far, anecdotal evidence supports me – that consumers are buying Blu-ray players mostly for the connectivity features (spelled N-E-T-F-L-I-X).
Right now, you can buy several Blu-ray players now for less than $100, and more than one analyst firm predicts we'll have $40 and $50 BD players by the end of 2011. Not surprisingly, the price premium assigned to 3D BD players has largely evaporated; I picked up a Samsung BDP-C6900 last fall for $244 and you can find them on line for about $170 now.
The 'connectivity thing' is clearly driving a majority of BD player sales. So it was a puzzler to see Panasonic's new DMP-BD75 in the lineup, as this $99 2D player has no provision for WiFi connectivity; only a conventional RJ-45 Ethernet jack. Bad choice! Consumers don't want to hard-wire Blu-ray players; they want to use a WiFi connection. But the DMP-BD75 doesn't even have a WiFi dongle option. This product could be gone from the line as fast as it appeared.
The other three players make a lot more sense. The DMP-BD310 ($399) is the blue-chip model and comes with VIERA Cast and 2D to 3D conversion, plus built-in WiFi connectivity and dual HDMI outputs. Skype is also included, bringing conference calling and an answering machine to your TV. (What WILL they think of next?)
Stepping down, the DMP-BD210 is ticketed at $299 and has the same features, but only one HDMI output. Both models have touch-free drawer operation – simply wave your hand along the top cover and the disc drawer opens and closes automatically. (Kids are going to have a lot of fun with that!) The DMP-BD110 lops another few bucks off the price, but doesn't have built-in WiFi or the 'magic door' option. A WiFi dongle is available as an option.
I should mention that WiFi setup and network configuration on all three 3D models is a quantum leap from 2010s models, which practically required you to have Microsoft network certification to complete the process. Now, it's as easy as setting up a Cisco/Linksys Wireless-N router, which is to say that the BD player basically does all the work. 'Bout time!
Panasonic also has a new portable Blu-ray player (DMP-BD200), a portable DVD player (DVD-LS92 -really? Who uses those anymore?), and believe it or not, two new DVD players. One has progressive scan, while the other is upconverting.
Given that progressive scan DVD players are selling for about $35 these days and upconverting models are around $50, you have to wonder why Panasonic even wants to play in that space anymore. I say, ditch the red laser format and just go blue – the players are certainly cheap enough…
I also saw a few demonstrations of new soundbar technologies and home-theater-in-a-box (HTiB) products, three of which are built around Blu-ray playback and two around DVD playback. The most interesting product was the SC-HTB520 soundbar, which is packaged with a separate wireless subwoofer and sells for $400.
In the demos I sat through, this soundbar did a surprisingly good job creating a virtual surround sound field and would be of interest for folks who don't have the space or inclination to set up six different speakers. I could see this soundbar installed with lots of family room TVs (like my 42-inch Panasonic plasma) to add a little spatial separation for prime time TVs shows and sports broadcasts.
3D At Home: No One's Buying It??
- Published on Tuesday, 01 March 2011 12:10

Last week, the Hollywood Reporter reported (accurately) that a majority of the attendees at the 2011 Hollywood Post Alliance Technology Retreat believe that 3D in the home is 'dead' and will never catch on.
Yes, I know you've heard about and read several surveys taken in the past year that show little or no enthusiasm for 3D at home. However, when people who create and distribute movies and TV shows for a living give 3D at home the thumbs-down, that's big news.
I've attended every HPA Tech Retreat since 2002 and presented at most of them. Last year, we had a 3D supersession where many attendees expressed skepticism that 3D at home was viable. This year, the number of naysayers was substantial, as evidenced by a show of hands during the Day 1 presentation recaps by HPA leaders Leon Silverman and Jerry Pierce. (This year's Retreat had 450 registrants, by the way.)
The annual broadcasters' panel brought forth more skepticism, with Fox saying that until there was a workable, viable ATSC 3D standard, they would stay on the sidelines. Those sentiments were pretty much echoed by ABC, NBC, Sinclair, PBS, and CBS.
As I mention in another post, we had a great breakfast roundtable discussion on 3D in the home, and whether it was a flop, partially successful, or had any real future. We also discussed the relative scarcity of 3D movies, which led to a question about why Hollywood isn't remastering more of their older 3D movie titles into the Blu-ray format. The reply was that the cost to do those remasters probably wouldn't be justified by Blu-ray disc sales, let alone rentals.
Let's face it; 3D TV stumbled badly out of the gate in 2010. TV manufacturers locked up the most desirable 3D Blu-ray discs as part of exclusive TV bundles, creating an instant shortage of compelling 3D content. Want to watch Avatar in 3D? Sorry, you'll have to buy a Panasonic 3D TV. How about any of the Shrek movies? You'll need to buy a new Samsung 3D TV. Despicable Me? You're looking at a new Sharp Aquos, pal.
What's that – you just dropped $2,000 on a new 55-inch 120 Hz LED LCD TV a year ago? Hmmm – that's a problem.
How about the new 3D TV networks? Well, ESPN 3D is a barker channel during most of the day. The World Cup was fun, but half the shots didn't benefit at all from 3D.
Last fall, DirecTV's 3D pay-per-view channel was showing Journey to the Center of the Earth, followed by Journey to the Center of the Earth, followed by Journey to the Center of the Earth…well, you get it.
As far as 2011 goes, the outlook for 3D TV sales isn't very sunny. Nielsen's annual State of All Media survey, taken in Q4 of 2010, showed that "…76% of respondents 'probably won't or 'definitely won't' buy a 3D TV in the next 12 months. 2% of respondents already own a 3D TV, while only 6% "definitely' or 'probably' will buy one."
The problem is compounded by VIZIO and Toshiba saying that consumers don't need to buy expensive LCD glasses to watch 3D TV. VIZIO is leading a charge to passive (half-resolution) 3D TV, with the selling point being that you can use those same 50-cent RealD circular polarized glasses they gave you at the local multiplex cinema.
According to a news story in today's TWICE magazine, LG showcased their new line of passive 3D LCD TVs – called Cinema 3D – at the Film Independent Spirit Awards last week. The TWICE story quoted LG Electronics USA president Wayne Park as saying, "We think we can take advantage of — at least in 3DTV — the leadership position for the whole industry…with our distinguishing 3D technology, we can bring a much more affordable and enjoyable experience to the consumer, so that our 3DTVs can leap ahead of the industry." Also, "Park said he believes passive-glasses technologies will ultimately win out over active-shutter systems due to the many benefits that resonate with consumers."
Toshiba's claim that you can drop glasses altogether upsets the apple cart even more, and has apparently convinced the average Joe that there is a format war in 3D (shades of the 1080i vs. 720p battles ten years ago). Skipping past the technical details, what today's consumers are hearing is that 3D is very much in the laboratory stage and that it is probably a smart idea to sit on the sidelines for a while until all of the details are worked out – and until 3D TVs without glasses are widely available.
So, what's a TV manufacturer to do?
First off, it's evident that consumers will NOT pay a premium for 3D functionality. There are simply too many 2D TV models available for less than $1,000, including a couple of 55-inch screens. Asking consumers to pony up an additional $500 – $1,000 just to watch a handful of movies and 3D networks is a waste of energy right now…particularly when you consider all of the people who bought new big-screen LCD and plasma TVs in the past five years.
Second, release the exclusively-bundled 3D Blu-ray discs immediately to the open market. If you want someone to buy a fancy new sports car, make sure there are plenty of gas stations where they can fill it up!
Third, drop the prices on 3D Blu-ray players to a level commensurate with networked Blu-ray players. Those are selling very well because consumers are using them as Internet TV set-top boxes to gain access to Netflix (20 million subscribers and counting).
Fourth, continue exploring marketing partnerships with content producers to create 3D channels that more people can watch. Currently, only the Sony-Discovery-IMAX 3Net channel and ESPN's 3D channel are available to any viewer on any Pay TV system. 3D on DirecTV does nothing for a Comcast subscriber, or a Dish Network subscriber. Comcast's new 3D channel is inaccessible to Verizon FiOS customers. Content drives TV viewership – HDTV started in 1998 but didn't really take off until about 2004, when all of the major TV networks finally had a strong slate of HD programming to watch.
Unfortunately, the perceived format war between active shutter, passive, and autostereo (a really inferior way to watch 3D, if you ask me) is going to keep sales of 3D TVs down in 2011. Consumer enthusiasm is so low that most of the 3D demos at my nearby Best Buy appear to have been turned off for good. (Not that they could find any working active shutter glasses if they needed to…)
At this past Sunday's Ambler Theater Oscars Party, I set up a Samsung PN50C8000 3D plasma TV with four pairs of glasses (fresh batteries in every one) and a 3D animated movie (Monsters vs. Aliens), smack in the middle of the concessions lobby. Plenty of people (young and old) came over to watch for a few minutes, were appropriately wowed, asked what the 3D set-up cost, said "that's nice, but I can't see having to wear glasses to watch TV" and then walked away to one of the three main theaters.
They're just not buying it.

May is National Mental Health Month. According to Mental Health America, the theme is "Mind your Health." If you're in the mental health field, it's a quick reminder of one of the biggest problems you frequently deal with from patients and their social circles: misconceptions against people with mental illness.
Working hard for the independence and welfare of others is no easy profession. We've celebrated the advent of affordable mental healthcare, and making sure that every diagnosis, prescription and interaction with the patient is noted for the safety of your practice, but what can we do to make Mental Health Month more on the mind?
This month, focus extra energy to reminding everyone, not just in your practice, but your social circle why mental health is just as important as physical health. These will pave the way for standardized methods of treatment, less malpractice cases, and ultimately improving the treatments we use. Supportive groups like NAMI (the National Alliance on Mental Illness) provide events and charitable partnerships to help raise awareness. The National Homeless Walk raised money for homeless persons or those at risk of it—many with mental illness. Delaney Ruston made her own documentary about her father's schizophrenia, and both of their struggles with mental health. You can watch a clip here.
The 2014 Mental Health Month initiative reminds you to Mind Your Health! You need to keep your BRAIN in shape – and there are 7 simple ways to do it that apply to everyone
- Staying social,
- Keeping a positive frame of mind,
- Keep your body in shape!
- Helping others,
- SLEEP! Get enough sleep. We can't stress this enough.
- Eating healthy food,
- Getting professional help if you need it! Check your mental health like you would for any major diseases.
For mental health professionals, here are a few bonus tips:
- Keep your office organized. A file a day keeps the lawyers at bay!
- Get insured to retain your peace of mind.
- Don't hesitate to do quality control checks on your HIPPAA compliance. It's worth it!

Staples to Acquire PNI Digital Media - Analyst Blog
In keeping with the changing trends, Staples, Inc. (NASDAQ: SPLS) has been focusing on expanding its offerings, effective merchandising and enhanced online features. As part of its goal, this leading retailer of office products and services entered into an agreement to acquire Canada's PNI Digital Media for C$73.9 million (or approximately $67.3 million).
PNI Digital Media's software platform has been assisting retailers through online, in-store kiosk software and mobile apps in selling personalized products such as photo prints, photo books, calendars, business cards, documents, wedding invitations, stationery and other items.
PNI Digital Media, which is expected to carry on its operations independently, will be able to enhance its customer base and provide better services by using the Staples platform. The deal still awaits the approval of PNI shareholders and the go-ahead from the Supreme Court of British Columbia. A special meeting of PNI shareholders is slated to be held on Jul 8, 2014.
Staples is likely to benefit from the economic rebound as its performance is highly correlated with economic health. In an attempt to drive its performance, the company has shifted focus toward improving store productivity, accelerating growth in adjacent categories, increasing market share in core office supplies and streamlining its cost structure. Online retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) have been impacting its sales.
Staples has been closing underperforming locations and downsizing stores to rationalize its business. Additionally, the company is focusing on the delivery business, which requires less capital and generates higher margins. These positives could prove to be a game changer for the company in the long run.
Staples, which competes with Office Depot, Inc. (NYSE: ODP) and United Stationers Inc. (NASDAQ: USTR), currently holds a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell) highlighting its negative earnings surprises over the trailing four quarters. The company has missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in 3 out of the last 4 quarters, reflecting an average miss of 8.2%.

The Election–8 p.m. Hawaii Printout: An Easy Night for the Dems?
The 8 p.m printout is out (well, electronically–do they actually print these things anymore?), and with generally a third to a half of precincts reporting, the Dems generally appear to be rolling to easy victories over their Republican opponents, Libertarian and Independent opponents. Even in the Governor's race, where an independent candidacy by veteran politico Mufi Hannemann was supposed to make things interesting, Democrat David Ige was rolling up a nearly huge margin, 111,335 to Republican Duke Aiona's 74,871 , with Hannemann trailing a distant third at 24,509. Sen. Brian Schatz was leading his Republican opponent Cam Cavasso by over two to one, 147,279 to 53,572. Tulsi Gabbard was wracking up an even bigger margin with 77 percent of the vote, 85, 880 to Republican Kawika Crowley's 18,065. The only federal race that is even remotely close is for the U.S. House of Representatives District 1, where Democrat Mark Takai leads Republican former Rep. Charles Djou, 56,609 to 47,940. Libertarian candidates in these races are all less than four percent of the votes.
In Big Island State Senate Races, Gil Kahele, Josh Green, Lorraine Inouye all lead their nearest opponents by 3-1 margins or better. So are Democratic State RepresentativesMark Nakashima, Richard Onishi and Democratic newcomer Joy SanBuenaventura. Incumbent state reps Richard Creagan and Nicole Lowen's races are only slightly closer Creagan leads Republican Dave Bateman, 3,269 to 1,95. Lowen is besting Republican Kelly Valenzuela, 1,937 to 1,115. In non-partisan Council races, Daniel K. Paleka leads Tiffany Edwards Hunt, 1,214-947 and incumbent Margaret Wille is ahead of Ronald Gonzales, 1,413-1,056.

Summary of Hidden Financial Risk
Understanding Off-Balance Sheet Accounting
Pages: 288
Recent corporate scandals have faulty accounting practices in common. How is your firm managing the bean counter risk?
J. Edward Ketz has written a very curious sort of accounting book. About half of it consists of technical information about accounting and its misuse, and the other half is an impassioned polemic about the need for reform. He includes some anomalous editorial quirks; for instance, midway through the book is an appendix consisting of the entire text of an SEC report. Most appendices appear at the ends of books. The author is clearly a professor on a soapbox, an academic-preacher hybrid with a flair for the eloquent purple phrase. He effectively identifies some of the accounting principles that managers who are bent on deception abuse most often. Although this looks like a textbook, getAbstract.com finds that it could serve quite adequately as an investor's introduction to accounting fraud. The author's rhetorical flourishes take a lot of the dreariness out of the subject of accounting, and will keep most readers alert long enough to finish the book - or at least to read as far as the appendix.
In this summary, you will learn
- What the ins and outs of off-balance-sheet accounting are; and
- Why and how managers abuse it so often and easily.
About the Author
J. Edward Ketz, Ph.D., is M.B.A. faculty director and associate professor of accounting at Pennsylvania State's Smeal College of Business. His column, Accounting Annotations, is published in Accounting Today and his column, Accounting Cycle: Wash, Rinse and Spin appears regularly at SmartPros.com. He is also the author of Bridge Accounting: Procedures, Systems and Controls.

Stui's house!
Sean pushed hard on the nose of his broom and started to descend on the huge georgian manor house which lay gracefully on the hills. As his feet made contact to the ground he walked toward the front door of the house. He knocked whilst resting his broom against the ivy covered porch. Thump. His Dad, William, had just landed and started walking over to Sean.
"Took your time!"
"Where's Stuart?" William said whilst brushing off his robe.
The door opened suddenly with Stui at the door.
"Hello, come in." He exclaimed over William's loud voice.
Sean and William walked through the house into the kitchen where they where pleasently greeted by Stu's mother.
"Hello dears. How are you? Hungry? I'm just knocking up some spaghetti. Would you like some?"
"Same every time init!...We're goin' soon mum."
"I'd love to, I still remanisce of that beautiful lamb chop with wine sauce!"
In the end everyone sat down to this meal. As the sun began to set Stu, William and Sean stood up thanked Stu's mum for the food and left.
"See you at christmas dad." Sean said as him and Stu split from his father.
It was almost dark by the time Sean and Stu had gotten to Otgolds and as they landed they saw the headmaster come out to speak to the first years.
"Hello and welcome to Otgolds Specialty School of Charms. I am William Ofalwitt and I'm sure this year is to be as exciting and wonderful as all my other fourty years of being headmaster here. I hope you all find your rooms to be in good order, Your trunks have just arrived and they are all unpacked. Please goup to your rooms and prepare for a term of learning. If there is any problems, any at all, feel free to speak to your head of hous or year. Enjoy the year and learn. You ate all so lucky to be fresh and excited; it's true what they say about old dogs and new tricks. But anyway good night."
Sean and Stu budged past them and began climbing the stairs into the castle.

text: A benefit supper in Brownville tomorrow night will honor a local veteran injured in the war in Iraq. Staff Sargeant D.J. Martin continues to recover from a traumatic brain injury, while supporting other military members wounded in combat, too."I was running ammo back and forth to my Marines and I got hit with mortar."The memories of war are never far for Martin, even though this memory isn't what it use to be. Martin was hurt in 2003 – but the problems that came along with injury didn't crop up until a couple of years later. "I have problems with cranial nerves damaged, so I have problems with my balance, right side weakness with my right hand and things like that."A benefit at the Brownville Community Church Saturday night will recognize Martin and his sacrifice.It will also collect money for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund, which offers financial assistance for any military member wounded in the current war, just as it did for Martin."They buy wheelchairs, they adapt your home, they're always asking what can we do for you. They'll do anything."Stacie Martin says helping her husband heal is a daily challenge, as it is for all families with brain injuries. She hopes Saturday's fundraiser with make a difference for others, too."We're still probably years down the road from when we'll ever see all of our military members come back from over there and if we can do anything to make their ease back into this community easier, it's wonderful."D.J. Martin retired from the Marines in May and knows his life will never be the same. But he also knows he has a new mission now. "I'm very lucky. A lot of people didn't come home. I lost a lot of friends and a lot of people are worse off than I am. Now I have a chance to focusing on raising money for others and it's a great foundation."The supper starts at 5 o'clock at the Brownville Community Church. Music by the Vintage Country Jamboree gets going at 6 p.m. Everyone is invited to stop in and make a donation.

text: SEATTLE, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Anchorage School District recently announced that they have increased their graduation rate by more than 3.5 percent district-wide during the 2012-2013 school year. In a recent article, "ASD Graduates More Students, Bartlett High Leads Way," written by Daysa Eaton of KSKA, Alaska Public Media, Bartlett High School is recognized as leading the way by bringing students back to school and supporting them in recovering credits required for graduation. Apex Learning, the leading provider of digital curriculum for secondary education, is proud to be featured as making a critical contribution to Bartlett High School's success.
