Four Big Questions About NSA Spying, Prism, and Tech DragnetsBy
Reports of Prism, the National Security Agency's program to gain perpetual access to all the information running through the servers of major Silicon Valley companies, are enough to give anyone a jolt. And considering what we know about the NSA, it seems plausible that it's spying on us. But there are some things about Prism that don't quite add up:
Are the companies lying?
Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo! have all said the government does not have access to their servers. This, from Google:
"From time to time, people allege that we have created a government 'backdoor' into our systems, but Google does not have a 'backdoor' for the government to access private user data."
Here's Apple:
"We have never heard of PRISM. We do not provide any government agency with direct access to our servers, and any government agency requesting customer data must get a court order."
Maybe the companies are playing with semantics over the terms "backdoor access" and "direct access." And Apple doesn't have to have heard of Prism to be a part of it. Still, these are pretty strong denials for companies that generally play it very close to the vest.
Dropbox (coming soon)?
You'd expect a program based on accessing corporate servers to target only companies that have their own servers. But Dropbox, which was reportedly "coming soon," according to the leaked Prism presentation, runs its business on Amazon's cloud servers. Yet Amazon is not one of the companies involved.
Has the NSA ever done anything for $20 million?
The presentation and reports seem to describe a program of breathtaking scope, all for the modest price of $20 million annually. The New York Police Department spent significantly more than that last year just to keep its own phones running. Of course, the NSA does seem to have saved money by skimping on the cost of the presentation, which looks like it was thrown together in a few minutes by a someone new to PowerPoint.
They're only spying on foreigners?
James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said Thursday night that the newspaper reports contained "numerous inaccuracies." He said the program, authorized under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, targeted only Internet users outside of the U.S. "It cannot be used to intentionally target any U.S. citizen, any other U.S. person, or anyone located within the United States." It isn't immediately clear how the government could distinguish between these in any practical way.
It's possible that Clapper's reference to intentional targeting is a way of saying what the government does once it has gathered a huge amount of data and stored it on NSA servers. There is clearly a lot to learn in the hours and days ahead, maybe starting with the NSA documents leaked by Anonymous on Friday morning.

Beef and Cheese Crumble
Recipe by dimensionally trans
Ok, so this sounds disgusting but it is awesome! My mum came up with the idea when we were little and I have perfected it - well sort of. I make this differently every time and my weights are approximate so I hope it works out all right!
Top Review by flower7
This was surprisingly tasty! I used a 4 oz can of mushrooms, a grated (not sliced) carrot, and instead of green beans, used part of a can of corn that needed using and a little frozen spinach. Couldn't get the Oxo gravy granules in this country so used part of a sachet of brown gravy mix (about 15g from a 24g pkg). Also added about 4 tsp of taco seasoning. Used sharp cheddar for the cheese. Used a 7x10 pan but probably should have used a 9x13 (but it was too late to switch as I'd already started to put the topping on before realizing I had a lot of topping for that size pan). In the end it worked out but next time I might reduce the flour in the topping just a little as it was pretty crumbly when dishing out to serve. Thanks for the recipe!
Ingredients Nutrition
For the filling
- 450 g minced beef
- 400 g canned tomatoes
- 2 chopped tomatoes
- 80 g sliced mushrooms
- 1 sliced carrot
- 80 g green beans (or any other vegetable)
- 2 instant Oxo, cubes (gravy granules)
- salt and pepper
For the crumble topping
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups plain flour
- 1 cup grated cheese (to taste, I use a mix of whatever is in the fridge, always strong cheese)
- salt and pepper
- grated cheese, for sprinkling
Directions See How It's Made
- Brown the beef.
- Add the tinned tomatoes.
- Add the oxo cubes - crumble them evenly over the top and then mix inches.
- Add the remaining ingredients.
- Hint: At this stage you can also add any other flavourings/herbs/spices/vegetables you like, this is a very flexible recipe!
- At this stage the beef should be quite liquidy. Don't take any out but turn the heat down and let it reduce naturally. Keep an eye on it so it doesn't become too dry. The ideal end product should look fairly dry but easily yield liquid when a spoon is pressed onto the mixture. This can take anything from 10-30 minutes, depending on what is added!
- While the mixture is reducing make the crumble.
- Put all of the crumble topping except for the cheese for sprinkling into a bowl and mix them so they look like chunky breadcrumbs.
- Put the beef mixture into an ovenproof dish.
- Pour the crumble mixture on top of the beef.
- Put in a 180C oven for 20 minutes.
- After the 20 minutes add the grated cheese to the top, put the crumble back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes (until the cheese is melted/brown/crispy according to taste).

Advisor Name Title John Chandler Committee Chair Cathleen Williams Committee Co-Chair Dale Paccamonti Committee Member Fakhri Albagdadi Committee Member Jill Jenkins Committee Member John Lynn Committee Member Huangen Ding Dean's Representative Keywords

Date of Defense 2007-05-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractThis study investigated the effects of semen extender constituents and cryopreservation on bovine spermatozoal mitochondrial function. Three yearling Holstein bulls were used. Two ejaculates per bull were collected and pooled on a weekly basis for five weeks and extended in four treatments: 1) sodium citrate egg yolk extender with antibiotics (lincomycin, spectinomycin, gentamicin and tylosin); 2) ¡°1¡± with glycerol; 3) ¡°2¡± without antibiotics; and 4) ¡°1¡± without antibiotics. Each was divided into portions for analyses before freezing and after cryopreservation. The pre-freeze and thawed semen were transferred to a 37¡ãC water bath, the same assays were performed. In experiment 1, resazurin reduction (RD) was measured spectrophotometrically at sequential 25 minute intervals for 125 minutes. In experiment 2, specific activities of cytochrome c oxidase (CytoCox) and citrate synthase (CS) were measured spectrophotometrically immediately post-thaw and after 125 minutes of incubation. In experiment 3, ATP was measured using luciferin-luciferase assay simultaneously with RD. Total and progressive motilities (TM and PM), progressive (PV), curvilinear (VCL) and pathway (VAP) velocities were measured simultaneously with RD, ATP content and CytoCox and CS using computer assisted semen analysis system (CASA). In experiment 4, the NADH dehydrogenase (ND1) gene of mtDNA was sequenced before and after cryopreservation using PCR. Data were analyzed by least square methods; mean differences were delineated by Tukey¡¯s test.
In experiment 1, RD differed among treatments (P<0.05). Cryopreservation decreased (P<0.05) RD, TM, PM, PV, VAP and VCL. Resazurin reduction correlated with PM (r=0.45, P<0.05) and TM (r=0.2, P<0.05). In experiment 2, incubation time and incubation with Triton X100 were sources of variation in CytoCox and CS specific activities (P>0.05). Only CS from spermatozoa incubated with Triton X100 correlated with RD (r=0.22, P<0.05). CytoCox and CS did not correlate with motility parameters. In experiment 3, spermatozoal ATP was not different (P>0.05) among treatments. However, cryopreservation decreased (P<0.05) ATP. Spermatozoal ATP correlated with motility parameters (r¡Ý0.65) and RD (r=-0.30) (P<0.05). In experiment 4, the frequency of amino acid change was higher (P<0.05) post-thaw in the treatment containing only antibiotics. Cryopreservation, more than extender constituents impacted mitochondrial function of bovine spermatozoa.

So i was driving my scoob home tonite after a good run of backroad 'cruising' with a buddy.
On my way home i cooled my driving down a bit and when i was almost home i hear just one loud bang. It sounded like it came from my left rear end. My first reaction was that i ran over something big. Rock, stick, whatever and it flew up and hit my car underneath. I was only going about 25-30 in my neighborhood. I turned around to see what i'd hit, nothing there. My next thought was that my strut/springs were 'settling' as was the case with an older honda i'd had. Any time it was on a lift it would pop on the way home, but my car hasnt been on a lift in over a week, and ive done alot of driving since ...
My only other thought was that it happened as i reached the top of a hill and leveled off, maybe caused the suspension to settle awkwardly. No idea.
Anyone else run into this? Any suggestions, ideas anything. Just worries me a little. Thanks guys.

Three seven-figure horses pumped up the excitement on the second day of the Keeneland September yearling sale, but they didn't provide a big enough boost to end the discouraging slump in the auction's key business figures.


text: Hey, I lost my key to my 07 wrx a few months ago. The dealer is charging me $65 for the key because it has a chip and $70 on top of that to program it to my car. I know you can program the keyless entry remote so I was wondering if I could program the key myself and save $70. If anyone can help me out that would be great.

SAN FRANCISCO? POTBELLY TELEPHONE AMERICAN BELL c1900
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Tools
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: May 16, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
I have no doubt many of you know much more about this telephone than Ido. I am no telephone expert . I simply purchased this from among estate items at a sale. I believe this is a San Francisco Potbelly candlestick telephone. I learned that during my research of the telephone. I have read these were made by Western Electric for American Bell Telephone Company. The backside of the transmitter is clearly stamped "Property of the American Bell Telephone Company" The black piece on the transmitter, which would display a telephone number (I imagine) is stamped Western Electric Made in USA 128-B. T is another plate on the front that reads *329* The part that holds the receiver is forked and not your typical (I think) loops. The spring is still functional after 100 years! The telephone is very heavy and feels solid. My scale (not digital) measures it at about 4 lbs 10 oz without the receiver. The receiver is obviously broken. I don't even know if that is original. The inside has a bronze tone and the exterior has a nickel toned finish. I do not know my metals well enough to say if it is actually nickel. This does not hold a magnet on the base or stem. I see some green and brown cloth covered wires inside, but I have no idea how this functions. I did not open the back of the transmitter to see inside. The neck appears to be telescoping.... read more

Barley is the principle source of fermentable sugar in making beer. Other sugars derived from corn, rice and wheat are used but they are considered to be adjuncts or additives to the barley base. The barley plants most used in beer making are two-row and six-row varieties. These terms refer to the number of individual grains on each barley stalk. Barley must be malted before used in brewing; malting is the process of allowing the grain to sprout, then stopping the growth process when the grain is at peak level of starch content. This allows the starch to sugar converting enzyme, diastase to exist. It is this sugar the yeast metabolizes into alcohol during fermentation. Some malted barley is roasted; these grains no longer contain the active enzymes needed to turn starch into sugar but they can impart very favorable flavor characteristics to the finished beer. Visit Blogging with Briess for more information about grains.
Brewing beer is an American Tradition.

Good hotel for resonable price. Excellent location, tasty breakfast, friendly service. The WiFi connection was sometimes problematic.
Very friendly, helpful staff. Clean comfortable room was quite luxurious and better than I expected it to be. A perfect place to land in Mumbai off the plane that was very central to all sights in southern Mumbai They didn't actually have record of my booking on arrival, but fortunately had a spare room for me. While the room was nice and quiet, it didn't have any windows. Internet was meant to be free but they charged 200R extra for wifi.
Staff was very helpfull. They answered to all of our questions, always wanted us to feel ok. Hotel is really clean and has a very good location (ok to go to colaba coeway or gateway of India walking) Just a thing, taxi drivers do not know this place very well. Could be a little more "design"
We stayed in a Deluxe King room which was excellent, it was in a new building next to the main hotel - the room was better than some 5 star rooms we've satyed in. Great location and great value for money. No problems at all - we liked everything about the hotel.
the staff was terrific and the breakfast was delicious - a great value!
The hotel was in an excellant location for what we wanted in Mumbai. Staff were very helpful, good breakfast, recomment room 309, its a twin and very light. Comfy clean beds, air con and a fan. Room was very clean and cleaned daily. Very good for price

Trafficking in persons involves the movement of human beings by means of force, threats, deception, or the payment of money for the purpose of sexual exploitation, forced labour, servitude, or the removal of organs.
Virtually every country in the world, including Australia, faces the challenge of stopping those who exploit desperate people and protecting and assisting victims of trafficking, many of whom endure severe hardships.
In March 2008, the TC Beirne School of Law at The University of Queensland (UQ) set up the Trafficking in Persons Working Group to provide comprehensive and continuing analysis of the phenomenon of trafficking in persons in Australia. This research initiative identifies and analyses reported and suspected instances of trafficking in persons in Australia in all its forms, including trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, forced and servile marriage, labour trafficking, child trafficking, and trafficking for the purpose of organ removal. The Working Group documents and examines the evolution and operation of international and domestic law in this field and critically evaluates the Australian Government's response to trafficking in persons.
This website contains information about Working Group members and current research projects, a record of reports and presentations produced by the Working Group, and outlines and analyses of relevant laws, policies, and types of trafficking in persons, and of measures to protect and assist victims of trafficking.

The kiddos have also been asking us, on a fairly regular basis over the past few weeks, who we are planning to vote for. Before we can even answer, they typically remind us that we better vote for Obama or else they will lose their food stamps forever. One of our boys told us yesterday that if we REALLY cared about all the kids, we would vote for Obama so they wont go hungry without their food stamps. I'm not even going to touch the fact that they are clearly ill-informed and all getting their information somewhere unreliable, however widespread.
I have an easy-out in answering the kiddos, simply reminding them that I have a green card and can't vote. Adam avoids the question by asking them what they think he should do and why. Side note: he doesn't do this because he's a staunch Republican and for sure voting for Romney, or because he would never vote for Obama, but mostly because he doesn't really know who to vote for because he's not a big fan of either candidate. In case you're wondering, this post by Jen Hatmaker describes our politics to-a-T. Oh and also our pastor who said in church this Sunday: "My hope isn't in any man, whether he's riding an elephant or a donkey." -
A few of the boys who told us we would vote for Obama if we really loved them were sitting in our kitchen last night working on a school project on the importance of voting. Adam was heating up meatloaf (thanks Aunt T!), mashing potatoes, and sauteing onions and garlic. We debated the pros and cons of using onions in our meals, with the boys' staunch arguing for no-onions-ever, while we debated the merits of onions adding flavor to our potatoes. We helped them work on their power point children's book on voting, and inevitably the issue of our voting preferences came back up. The boys mentioned that people who voted Republican hated black people and that the reason the Republicans won the state of Georgia was simply a numbers game, because there are more white people than black in Georgia.
The fact that this is a black-white issue for them (even if it's not actually one) reminds me that perhaps there are still some racial issues and inequalities and wounds that may need some healing for all of us. And I responded with what they already knew: As long as we live here, they will not go hungry. They will always have a place at our dinner table, an after-school snack waiting for them, and fresh eggs for collecting. We wont let them starve, regardless of who wins this election tomorrow or how many food stamps they get every month.
Because ultimately, it shouldn't matter if we are black or white or Democrat or Republican. It doesnt make a difference who sits in the White House, because God still sits on the throne. And as long as He's there, then I think He wants His church to be a place where race is a non-issue, where government doesnt need to feed the poor because His people are sitting down to eat with them every single day. Where black and white aren't lines that divide, but lines that draw a picture of God's Kingdom, adding their voices to the multitude around His throne.
I spent most of today driving all-over-creation. Caden went to the doctor, and Jayci and I had a Target date, and then I picked up Zack after school. Somewhere in the middle of all my driving, I heard (just barely, over Jayci's constant and loud singing of made-up songs) that the two candidates spent a combined total of over 6 billion dollars on the election campaigns. And I dreamed for just a minute of how much more simply all the welfare problems and abortion questions and what-not could be solved if we would utilize all these extra resources and start taking in babies whose mothers cant take care of them. And start feeding the hungry. Opening our homes to those who dont have a place to sleep. Befriending the lonely.
I pondered 6 billion dollars as I threw my fifty cents in the toll. As I stopped to grab a $1 diet coke. As I paid my $25 copay at the doctor (twice) and spent $50 to fill up on gas.
And all the while, I caught my breath time and again at the brilliance of the deep blue sky of fall, juxtaposed with leaves flaming red and glowing yellow. Clinging tenaciously to the branches, their color deepens and brightens as temperatures drop and winds gust. Still they hold on, finally fluttering to the ground in a blaze of swirling orange and brittle brown. And I'm reminded that sometimes the death of something can be just as beautiful as the beginning. Fall trees rival spring flowers in color and variety. The bravery of autumn and the promise of spring. Both equally beautiful and vital and true. And so too, there is beauty to be plumbed in the death of the things we worked so hard to earn. The death of our divisions. The death of those possessions and comforts we grasp to try and fill what only Christ can. In the upside-down Kingdom of God, we die to live. The last will be first. We lose our life to find it.
The doctor today told me that Caden, quite simply, is remarkable. And so I cant help but believe, at least for today, in miracles. In the power of a God who carries us and surround us. A God who entered into the darkest places in order to birth light. A God who demands that we stay. Because staying means standing with those who think they have no voice, those who fear going hungry, who want desperately to know that we will still be here with our onion-laden-potatoes after tomorrow's election ends, regardless of the outcome.
"So it is with voting. There are losses. We mourn. But not as those who have no hope. We vote and we lose, or we vote and we win. In either case, we win or lose as if we were not winning or losing. Our expectations and frustrations are modest. The best this world can offer is short and small. The worst it can offer has been predicted in the book of Revelation. And no vote will hold it back." (Piper)

KINGSPORT — What do the two demolished schools in the Fort Robinson neighborhood, local railroad history and church organ music have to do with each other or with education?
I have been asked if our pets go to heaven, and though no one really knows for sure, there are several examples in scripture that confirm there will definitely be animals in the next life. I for one certainly hope that I will see them again.
Two brown droplets floated up, twisting and turning as they took their places in a 76 year dance with death. When the reached the top, they spread into a rainbow pattern on the surface of the water, like so many before them. The droplets are referred to as 'The Black Tears of the Arizona.'
The same day my May 12 column about the Kingsport High School/old Fort Robinson School ran, I got an email from Dan Moneyhun. And, it seems that in the fall of 1968, Jean Price taught another kindergarten class at Surgoinsville Elementary, the first at our school. I thought ours was first.
There are a lot of things that get passed down in families, such as holiday traditions or physical traits. In my family, it's broken bones before weddings.
Daniel Fisher is a volunteer with InnRoads Ministries, a non-profit organization founded by Luke Navarro of California and Mike Perna of New Jersey. The two men went to seminary together, were gaming friends and started the Game Store Prophets podcast in 2011.
Have you heard the story of Edward E. Hazlett? He played a major role in the D-day invasion, all because he flunked his college entrance exam.
When the daily grind of life as a small town newspaper reporter starts to get me down, one of my favorite distractions is a recurring daydream about launching my own version of John Steinbeck's "Travels With Charley: In Search of America."
My great-niece, Olivia Carr, gave her "Gigi" (her great-grandmother, AKA my mother) the best Mother's Day ever two weeks ago. That's the day Olivia, 10, was baptized after accepting Christ into her heart at the First Baptist Church of Hendersonville.
Pure and love are not two words that we often connect together because much of what we know about love in this world is not always pure. We are flawed humans and realize that love many times has a slightly twisted angle or ulterior motive
Spinners came crashing into my world during a recent trip to the Knoxville mall when my then 10-year-old daughter spotted one near the cash register of the video game store. I had no idea what they were and of course, she knew all about them.
When my mom opened the door to a den downstairs, she asked a simple question. One that would prove very expensive. "Is there supposed to be water in the floor?"
We all have that moment where we're thinking of one thing while talking about another and the words don't come out as we meant them to. Remember back when Barack Obama was running in the presidential primaries and talked about campaigning in all 57 states?
Personally, I would describe Parton's new "Smoky Mountain Adventures" as three-parts musical and one part "Cirque du Smoké." And, oh, don't forget the peach pie.
Charles Cox came to see me about the article, he told me. He carried a copy of what appears to be a flier advertising the school, "Kingsport High School" not "Kings Port High School." This is where the story starts to unfold.

Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
My favorite was dropping my only roller in the sand when I stepped off the end of the scaffold. I learned its better to have enough scaffold to do one complete side at a time but the whole boat would be better. I did mine in Easypoxy. In Florida summer. I would start about nine to let the dew dry but I had to change the amount of thinner to compensate for the temp increase as the day went on or the paint wouldnt flow or smooth out correctly as it dried. I did 4 coats and it was starting to chalk up in 4 years of tropical weather. Never north of Georgia or south of Georgetown Ba. I could just imagine the fun of mixing a catalyst with the paint and thinner. I used an assistant once but it got to hot for her and finished that coat alone. I have seen the jobs done with 2 part paints and they are better and last longer. But white you have to study to see the difference from 20 ft.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
We have painted both of our boats from the waterline to the masthead with Awlgrip. Once you get the hang of it, rolling and tipping is very easy. Awlgrip will last for about 10 years or more if properly cared for. It depends on where the boat spends most of its time. Brightside might last a couple of seasons and then you will have to do it all over again. Our experience is with Awgrip but Perfection would be a good choice too. Chuck
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
The OP brings up a VERY important point without being aware of it: the difference between one and two-part polyurethanes. Awlgrip and Interlux Perfection are 2-part paints; you have to mix a base part with a catalyst, which sets them off to harden in a chemical reaction. Easypoxy and Brightsides are one-part paints. They don't require mixing parts together; you open the can, paint, and they cure by themselves. The Jamestown demonstration video above only shows the one-part paints. Their results are similar to what we found. The one-part paints look great... until they (easily) get scratched. One-part paint on our foredeck lasted three days before succumbing to myriad scratches, dings and generally looking miserable. A two-part paint that we applied instead to our whole deck and cabin top has now lasted 10 years, though it is starting to wear in high-chafe areas. Since prep for either one or two-part paint is essentially the same, it makes a LOT more sense to use two-part paint , unless you like to paint again, and again, and again.
Re: Thoughts on which is better topside paint...
Thank you to all who have responded. Your comments have been helpful.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
We just finished painting the topsides and decks on our 67 Pearson Wanderer. We rolled and tipped petit easypoxy. Everyone around the yard thought it looked great.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
I used a good quality industrial 2 part polyurethane high opacity. In Oz it is Wattle Poly U 400. Applied with a roller, looks great from 20 foot away but up close a bit orange peel. Very tough for when the kids come out in their wood canoes and bash into you topsides selling fruit.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
I'm having to adjust to the fact that a boat's finish is not like a car's.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
You can't think of a boat like you would a car And Alwgrip is freaking rugged paint
In a cars case there are generally thousands of units done with a very controlled color and the body panels gaps at the doors and fenders are the saving grace as they give clean transitions to hide tiny inperfections in a repiar
On a boat the topside is ONE GIANT panel with no place to hide even the most subtle color change a few years down the road from fading or anything less than a flawless blend
To be honest a think i could repair a good size scratch wetsand one side of the hull and lay down a fresh coat of awlgrip faster then I could try and blend it ?
If you do a big dock rash on the topsides it's just not a bit of body work and a quick trip in the spray booth
Awlcraft 2000 is the somewhat repaireable version of the paint because it can be wet sanded and buffed to do some blending BUT it is spray only
Even Dark colors of gelcoat which is far more repiar friendly take and incredible level of skill to match.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
A few reviews that I've read regarding Perfection imply that there is no way to fix an error (runs, scratches, etc). If you try to fix a blemish it stands out. Does anyone have knowledge of this?
Perfection seems to be the most durable and with a lasting shine, but i'd like to be able to fix a scratch down the road.
Re: Thougts on which is better topside paint...
I agree with TomMays. Perfection is designed to be R&T'd by amateurs, AwlGrip is aimed at the pro market.
Brightsaide is a little more forgiving, to apply, easier to repair in the water, but doesn't have as durable a shine or have the same longevity as Perfection.
Airless sprayers are barely fine, if you are perfectly okay with spending the time and money to tarp and tent the area and the time and money to do a LOT of sanding to deal with the inevitable orangepeel finish.
Roll and tip is best done with two or more people, one rolling, one tipping, and a squirt bottle of thinner/reducer always at hand to keep the paint in the roller pan at the right viscosity- You can get great results if you don't panic and if you prep and prime the surface well.
Expect the unexpected, like spending at least $100 on sandpaper. figure on spending a week-10 days ot properly prep the boat minimum, and 2-4 days to apply the paint, 1-2 coats per day with necessary sanding as required.

Hi all
I would love to get out and try to shoot some snow's this spring. I am just curious if there is anyone on the east side of the state that may be willing to take me out or possibly give me some advice to some areas to check out. I know this is a shot in the dark but it can't hurt trying.

BRISTOL, R.I. — When a homesick high school volunteer cries on her shoulder over the difficulty of transitioning to living with a host family in a foreign country, Laura Dushkin knows how to help the youngsters through it and learn to embrace their new surroundings and opportunities. She's been in their shoes.
Since she was 16, Dushkin has spent many summers volunteering with Amigos de las Americas, a nonprofit organization that sends American high school students to Latin American countries to engage in community development projects, cultural exchange and youth leadership training. Dushkin, who attended high school in San Diego, Calif., has worked at sites in Honduras and Ecuador on both a volunteer and professional basis, eventually serving as a project supervisor. Upon graduation this Saturday, she will be promoted to senior project supervisor in Costa Rica.
From May through August, Dushkin will oversee the physical and emotional health of 45 high school volunteers. Before the students – who hail from across the U.S. – arrive in Perez Zeledon, Dushkin will have set up their host families and meal plans, contacted local community leaders, and developed a training program that partners the American youths with Costa Rican teenagers on educational activities. As partners, the young men and women will tackle community-building projects like painting a school or an uplifting mural, seeding a community garden, or coordinating a cultural fair or dance.
Dushkin will keep a close eye on all of the volunteers. Each week she will hike miles through forest and over mountains with only a backpack filled with supplies to each of the 25 rural communities in which the youth have been placed. She says that, typically, the students are quite homesick when she first meets them and require some advice on how to manage their apprehension. Some also may be physically ill and require assisted trips to the local medical facilities. Rather quickly, however, she says the volunteers adapt and thrive in their host communities – and can't wait to enthusiastically share their experiences.
"I like to describe the supervisor job as a 'firefighter,'" she says. "You walk into the community and put out fires. Sometimes it's big fires; sometimes it's little fires. And sometimes it's forest fires in each community every week."
But she's prepared for all of it. Aside from her years of experience with Amigos, the biology, chemistry and Spanish language major has gained valuable skills in her academic studies and extracurricular activities that she says directly apply to this next chapter in her life.
For three years, Dushkin has worked as a research assistant in RWU's biology research lab conducting research on marine viruses. Her senior year was dedicated to independent genetic research on cyanobacteria, which she presented at a meeting of the American Society for Microbiology in Denver, Colo., earlier this month. She says that working in a research lab taught her dedication, attention to detail and time management, supplementing her strong academic background in science.
Another role at RWU improved her leadership skills and showed her the value of bringing communities together and working toward a common goal, Dushkin says. As an Eco-Rep Coordinator she supervised 10 students in promoting and teaching sustainability and recycling on campus and in the local public schools.
"Being an eco-rep coordinator has helped a lot in preparing me for this work. I learned how the university works and how to make myself heard, what my values are and how to manage a group," says Dushkin, adding that it reinforced confidence in her leadership abilities.
In addition to spending time in Costa Rican host communities, Dushkin and her chargers will devote three weeks to conservation projects – trail building and maintenance – in a national park. It will be a shared freshman experience for all of the volunteers – many of the Costa Rican youths often are unable to afford to explore their country's parks, Dushkin says. The entire experience – which yields months worth of work in just eight weeks – plants the roots of environmental advocacy and self confidence.
"I believe in the power of youth. It's amazing what they're able to accomplish in a summer. You never would have imagined 16- or 17-year-olds leading a meeting of 100 or 200 people," she says. "I think it's the most responsibility that a young person can have, as I'm graduating college and will be in charge of 45 people a week. And I think that's amazing that it's allowed, but also that it works. When you put people in that situation – even if it seems it's maybe too hard and too challenging, they can strive and thrive in that environment."

thank you for your patience and having time to explain what you wanted to say by saying use SAW
due to other principles of operation are involved noise has other distribution figure or even different nature all that leads to more dramatic sound advance compared to just to use expensive especially low jitter oscillator 'cause as you researched jitter doesn't always matter
of course, I'll try SAW type, thank you for sharing your experience

I think is not very easy to work around (jumping) the output of the ESS9018 in 105. One do not know what design it may be under the chip or in the internal layers of the PCB. The solution is to lift up all the output pins of the DAC and do another connections. This it may be very risky and involve an very big amount of precise work. I`m not at this moment very sure what procedure is to be followed... In the 95 model the (stereo) outputs were already coupled 4+4...
This mod it seems to me for the moment a very difficult task... It still to be analysed this mod I suppose, to be found it the right way(s).
But at last one may not be very obsess about coupling all together the outputs channels. It may work well as Oppo have designed/assigned the outputs of the DAC chip, if another mods are do it right in another stages... We will see...

The stock 105 has no offset voltage before the output coupling cap.....I just measured my unit and all outputs are 5mv or under. The circuit is just the usual: IV converter for each phase and then another opamp to sum. When you sum you get rid of the DC offset (relative to the matching of the four resistors in the summing stage). This is how the 95 was and they used NO coupling caps. You can remove the caps, if you like. The balanced outputs use a differential driver that has reference to ground so has no voltage on their outputs as well. However, it is better to get rid of the summing opamp altogether and use a better IV converter then straight out through a coupling cap...way better. When you sum you are just adding the sound of another opamp and its passive components used (resistors, caps, solder joints). Less is better!
As far as summing more of the outputs together....well, the jury is out on that one. Some find that using them single is best. The traces for all the outputs are usable and if you want you can put them all together....without any surgery or removing of parts. There are many, many more important ways to improve the sound than the possible paralleling of the outputs. Please don't get hung up on one area.

Thanks for infos. 5mV is an very good offset. I still wonder why they use separation caps in this model, if it were just fine as it were (DC coupling) in 95 model...
Else I fully agree: are many ways to improve the player before thinking to sum the output channels. No, I`m not hang on this area. It ware my thoughts, answering/commenting the Joe`s post...
I found it at Digikey an 54 Mhz oscillator (PN 1253-1054-1-ND) which is specified as "Type SO (SAW)"... I can not see in the data sheet something about SAW type... I think I will give it a try anyway to this and another similar one 27Mhz.

It would be interesting, if adequately sensitive test and clock-perturbing equipment exists, to do listening tests on the effects of injecting different very narrow frequency bands of jitter on the same audio signal (clocked by something like the Rubidium clock), followed by the testing the effects of "stacking" several of those narrow bands of jitter, particularly at relatively low frequencies.
In any case, such a model would seem to confirm both the efficacy of ultra-low noise power supply design and construction (to power the digital circuitry) using known techniques, as well as of the discovery and implementation of clocks with optimum inherent stability (thus synchronous oscillators--rather than PLL--based on SAW devices would be candidates?). Given successful execution in these two areas, then one could look at minimizing sources of random rather than periodic jitter, such as thermal noise, etc.
I'd welcome comments on all the above--I am no specialist in this field and I could be way off base, or this could all be old hat to those in the know, but if it is, I don't think its impact on audiophile gear design has really hit home yet.
Thanks--this my first post, so please set any flamethrowers to "low."

PS to the above: I do realize that the actual clocks involved are running in the MHz range, so that a 1-Hz jitter/wander component would actually affect potentially millions of clock cycles, but it would still affect the number of signal samples corresponding to the sampling rate . . . .

Hi Coris,
XLR outputs are balanced as you know, so it might be 2 channels per phase, the other outputs are single ended and would be only 2 channels as there is only 1 phase.
This is how it is in the 95?
What do you think?

Hi Chris
In 95 the output channels of stereo stage DAC it were coupled together 4+4 with common I/V stage and the resulting signal it were amplified accordingly and distributed to XLR and SE outputs.
In the BDP-105's stereo board design, the 4 pairs of DACs in the ESS9018 DAC are allocated as: 1 pair for the RCA outputs, 1 pair for the XLR outputs, and 2 pairs stacked for the headphone amplifier. It seems that every type output it have its own I/V stage.
I looks like the headphone stage benefit most of this design... But let`s not be very obsess of this new stacking of DAC in the last model... It may be good enough. I did not took yet my self an close look on this aspect. Very soon...

Has anyone here directly compared a very low phase noise 100MHz XO such as
Crystek CCHD-575 to equivalent SAW 100MHz oscillator with same power
supplies etc?
If so, what was the sonic difference.

Police sirens, guns, rotor blades: for Washington DC's Trans Am it's the sound of their homeland gone mad. Liberation is loaded with such sounds, collaged into a soundtrack that resonates with tense menace. Liberation (its title can only be a cruel joke) is not an optimistic album, but as an election-year release from a band that commands an influential position on an increasingly politicized American indie scene, it's certainly interesting. Actually, more than that. A trio whose previous six albums have slid around between electronic and rock genres, Trans Am have – in a combination of drum machines, guitars and saturnine synth lines – really gelled here.
Once past a shaky start, Liberation warms to its political theme: America as a police state and Bush as Darth Vader. Soundbites have been lifted off the US media and cleverly edited. 'Our commitment to weapons of mass destruction is traditional,' says Bush, or rather, not-Bush on 'Uninvited Guest'. A crowd whoops. 'In the battle for Iraq, we destroyed schools and hospitals.' More cheers. The paradox is that Trans Am have used finely honed dance music to motivate their crowds against a repellent theme. If Trans Am lean towards a cinematically dark mood – John Carpenter's film noir soundtracks come to mind – they can hardly be blamed. 'This is the beginning of the end of America,' a doctored Bush opines. Trans Am aren't the only ones who think so.Louise Gray

Eclipse CD7100 with Canbus module made my axxess (subsidiary of Metra), Antenna adapter (non amplified - FM only), Double din install kit for MKV made by Scosche, and remote
If anyone is a car audio geek, they should know Eclipse. One of the best made head units ever made with full 3 way active capability. This unit also has a usb connection for you USB thumb drives storing your MP3s. On the rear of the head unit, non-fader, and 2 line outputs at 8 Volts!!!, and a direct RCA line in. Super high quality sound reproduction from the Radio and CD. You really won't find a head unit with 8v outs at this price. That's just clean pure power feed!
Also included is CAN-BUS/wire harness that gives you full steering wheel controls (equipped MKVs of course) and antenna adapter. I did not purchase an amplified one because I really dont need AM radio.
I've used this unit for lots of SQ competitions and it was in my daily driver. In fact, I just took it out today.
This is very much plug and play on any MKV. Head unit is already pre wired to the axxess module. The only you would need is to wire in a remote send (from the eclipse cd7100 harness) to your amps if you are running amps...which is as typical as they come.
I'm selling this because I purchased an Audison Bitone unit that has even more customization features and will be running an OEM RCD510 to keep it stealth.

In 1985, a year before Samus Aran, we were introduced to Princess Peach Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. Ever since her debut Princess Peach has become a household name for the gaming community; just like Samus Aran. In fact both characters sport the familiar traits of blonde hair, blue eyes, and perfect figure making them look almost like twin sisters.
Now we all know the various bedtime stories of the beautiful princess who gets into trouble and is rescued by the handsome prince or knight in shining armor right? Well Princess Peach, and the Mario Games, tend to follow this exact same formula every time with one big difference. Instead of the handsome prince, or knight in shining armor, all we get is a fat plumber who is constantly rescuing Peach.
When it comes to the character of Peach she is the ultimate cliché of a princess and damsel in distress all rolled into one pink package. She has the looks, is completely helpless, and is always wearing pink. Her nature is described as being kind, well-mannered, selfless, perky, and generous.
But let's face facts here people. Almost every Mario game, in existence, has Peach being abducted and in need of rescuing. Even when she is a playable character in Super Mario Bros 2, she is the weakest of the bunch. And that is saying something since you can also be that worthless Toad guy.
Is Princess Peach Foxy or Not?
While Princess Peach might be some nice eye candy that is all she has going for her. Beauty alone isn't enough to make her a Foxy Princess. Yet even as a Princess she falls flat on her face. After all, doesn't she have bodyguards? How is it that Bowser, or some other goon, can kidnap her so easily and at will? And, when it is time to rescue her, a plumber has to do it? Where the hell is her army? Shouldn't a princess be surrounded by knights of some kind?
While Samus Aran is a strong female character Peach is the exact opposite. I don't mind a woman being a little helpless but this is a woman who is too helpless.
So Peach is definitely not foxy in my book.
So do you think Princess Peach is Foxy or not?

Last night around 10:30 right at shift change, two officers from the dept that I work with were in the office discussing life. One had just come on shift and the other was about to go home. There wasnt much going on other than a horrendous thunderstorm,complete with high winds that broke a few trees with a few power outages due to branches falling on power lines.
It was raining hard enough that visibility was very limited,it was the kind of night that most sensible people stayed out of, about the only people on the roads were going to and from work.
While the Officers were in the office, a call for a stranded motorist came in and it was urgent. Apparently, a young man on his way home from work came home the usual way and came into a curve where the road was below water. Since it had rained over two inches in a short time, the ditches and creeks were filling up very quickly. He hydroplaned, lost control of his small truck and came to a stop right in the middle of a small bridge crossing a small creek that is normally dry except when it rains. That small creek had become a raging torrent and the water flow slammed the small truck against the bridge. The young man, realizing that he was in serious trouble when he tried to open the door and couldn't because of the water pressure, grabbed his cell phone and dialed 911. He was stuck in his truck, which was barely on the bridge and the water was about to push him off of it into the raging creek.
The two responding officers could not reach the vehicle due to the flooded road, and the water was rapidly rising. They both realized that it was a true emergency situation, and with the fast water and in the complete dark with the rain coming down so hard that they could barely even see, one of them called the Fire Dept. in hope that the large truck would be able to at least get close enough that they could hook a cable to the truck or if nothing else, rescue the driver who was becoming very anxious.
All attempts failed. The water was moving too fast and the situation became perilous enough that the Swift Water Rescue Team was called in. This county has a team that rescues stranded canoers due to the several swift water rivers that run through the Ozark Forest that are very popular and with the abundance of lakes around here they actually see a lot of action. They also do body recoverys, usually doing several a year for various reasons.
After much work, rising waters and some pure luck, 3 hours later the young man was rescued by a diver that managed to loop a cable around a tree that was upriver and basically let the water take him to the driver. The cable was attached to a winch on one of the Fire Trucks and all was well. This afternoon, the water had receded enough to be able to recover the truck and it was taken to the young mans house.
But that is not all there is to the story. You see, unknown to most of the people that were there until the young man was actually recovered due to the dark and the rain and even though the young man called 911 and stated his name, that information was never revealed to anyone that used the radio that night.
What was really amazing to all was that when he made it far enough that he could walk out of the water to a waiting patrol car where one of the Deputys was waiting with a blanket to drape upon him as he was cold and wet, the Deputy placed the blanket around him and shined his flashlight so that he could see him and only then did he realize that it was his own son that he was attempting to save.
It was a touching moment to all that witnessed it. The Officer, cold,wet and and so tired that he could barely walk was somewhat relieved that the rain blended in with the tears that came streaming down.
This story was just told to me by one of the guys that was there and I must admit, I was touched. The Lord works is mysterious ways some times.
Just another chapter in the life of a small town.

Fortunatley for the young man that was rescued, his Dad is a retired Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer that was very well versed in all kinds of rescue techniques. He pretty much spearheaded the operation.

We watched a similar situation once with a smaller car, and watched in disbelief as the car began to shake, then the water took off with the car down the creek. We rushed to a house and finally convinced them to call 911. They found the car about 1/4 mile down the creek, and the guy drowned.

Event: Texas State Baseball Invitational
Score: Michigan 8, Air Force 2
Records: U-M (1-2), AFA (1-1)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, Feb. 16 -- vs. Washington (San Marcos, Texas), Noon CST
SAN MARCOS, Texas -- Fifth-year senior Ben Ballantine (Napa, Calif./Napa) allowed just one hit in seven innings of work, and Erik Bakich earned his 100th career win as a head coach as the University of Michigan baseball team defeated Air Force, 8-2, on Saturday night (Feb. 15) in the Texas State Invitational at Bobcat Ballpark. The Wolverines scored a pair of runs in four innings as U-M earned its first win of the 2014 season.
Ballantine struck out five and allowed an unearned run in the fourth in his first start since injury cut his season short last April. Ballantine's only hit allowed was a leadoff single by Griffin Jax in the second inning. Freshman Mac Lozer (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) allowed a run and struck out a batter in the final two innings of work.
Bakich earned his 100th win in his second year as the Wolverines' head coach after three seasons as the mentor at Maryland.
Michigan jumped on the Falcons with a pair of runs in the first. Junior Jackson Glines (Coarsegold, Calif./Fresno City C.C.) walked to open the inning. He scored on sophomore Jacob Cronenworth's (St. Clair, Mich./St. Clair) triple to the gap in left. Cronenworth then came around to score on junior Kyle Jusick's (Portage, Mich./Portage Central) single to right. The Wolverines scored two more runs in the second. Sophomore Travis Maezes (Ann Arbor, Mich./Pioneer) struck out but reached on a wild pitch. Junior Zach Zott (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) and freshman Ramsey Romano (El Cajon, Cailf./Valhalla) both scored on a throwing error by the Falcon catcher.
The Maize and Blue put up two more runs in the fifth. Maezes doubled to open the inning. He advanced to second on Cronenworth's groundout to first. Jusick was hit by a pitch to put runners on the corners. Both scored on freshman Jackson Lamb's (Temperance, Mich./Bedford) double to straightaway center field, giving Michigan a 6-1 lead. The Wolverines added insurance in the eighth as Glines tripled to right to score freshman Johnny Slater (Southfield, Mich./Southfield Lathrup) and senior Cole Martin (Bay City, Mich./John Glenn).
Jusick and Martin had two hits apiece in the win, while Glines and Lamb drove in a pair of runs.
Michigan will wrap up play in the Texas State Invitational Sunday afternoon (Feb. 16) as the Maize and Blue faces Washington. First pitch is scheduled for noon CST (1 p.m. EST).
