Weather: Grey cloud cover but no rain
I found this in the front yard at a house right beside Mclean Creek Park. The house is located right on the edge of a clear cut. The dominate overstory species in the area range from Douglas fir, Grand fir, and Western Redcedar to Alder and baby Douglas fir growing in the clear cut. Around the edge of the property the most dominate understory species where Red huckleberry, salal, swordfern and some invasive species of blackberry and closer to the road scotch broom.
I found this on the ground all around the house and through out most of the backyard. It formed dense mats that where so thick they where spongy.

Weird Driver Door locking issue
A weird issue on my EXT. I need to get it to the shop for a few warranty things, and just noticed this door locking issue. I tried to open the door when it was locked (my vette and wifes car open without using the fob) and when I did it, I was surprised to see the door ajar a bit, but not completely, and also the alarm went off. I thought it may have been a fluke, but when I tried it again, it did the same thing. I couldnt open the door, but it did pop open a tad.. kinda like when you dont close it completely. I tried the rear door, and it remained properly locked.Anyone else hear of such an issue?-nate

degobah...Lando here....sorry it took so long to reply. I started a reply last night, but then an internal aggregation switch in our network froze and I had to take care of some ****.
A pitch stop mounts on the top of your engine and against the firewall to stop the engine from rocking, or pitching, forward and back under hard acceleration or deceleration. Your car has one stock, but the rubber pieces are soft and gummy, and normally contain gaps in the rubber to further soften the link between the two parts. This makes them function more to dampen the vibrational noise than to stop the pitching effects of the engine.
Subaru makes an upgraded model, known as 'Group N'. The pitch-stops, motor/trans mounts, and bushings in the Group N class are factory performance parts that fit into the strict qualifications of an Australian rally division of the same name and are a level between standard stock parts and full-on race parts. The Group N pitch stop has stiffer rubber than the stock piece, and normally no voids in the rubber, making them perform better while still helping to reduce vibrational noise.
Both the factory standard and the Group N pitch stop are comprised of soft rubber and a composite shaft.
Aftermarket pitch stops are normally made of aluminum shafts and polyurethane bushings which are far stiffer than rubber, though there are some full-on race parts that are solid aluminum. The pitch stops that contain polyurethane bushings greatly reduce the pitching of the engine (almost completely) though you will notice slightly higher vibrational noise.
So, what does all this mean for your car? With a stiffer pitch-stop the engine will not tilt while accelerating, which will increase the responsiveness as you will not loose torque from the engine shifting around. This helps more of the power you are already producing to get to the wheels.

Fight to end child marriage must be scaled up: experts
By Lisa Anderson
UNITED NATIONS (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Advocates against child marriage need to step up efforts to maintain progress against the practice as the world's youth population swells, experts at a United Nations panel said on Tuesday.
Child marriage, which ensnares about 10 million girls under the age of 18 every year, is banned in 88 percent of countries, but the practice persists in many parts of the world, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
Awareness of the problem has grown in recent years, as has knowledge about the best strategies to combat it, but the new challenge is to scale up the effort, said Geeta Rao Gupta, UNICEF's deputy executive director.
"We must aim to effect the lives of not a few hundred or a few thousand but millions of girls," she said at a panel on the second day of the two-week-long U.N. 59th Commission on the Status of Women.
With the world population of people aged 10 to 24 at a historic 1.8 billion, efforts to end early marriage must be boosted to avoid losing ground where progress has been made, experts said.
One tool in that fight is to ensure that eradicating child marriage is confirmed as a target of the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) expected to be adopted by the U.N. in September, Gupta said.
Currently, ending child marriage is listed as a target under the fifth point in the proposed SDGs that calls for achieving gender equity and empowering women and girls.
In the next few months, she said, "we need to make sure we seal the deal." Continued...

Fishing for Wild Salmon in Alaska
By Rowan Jacobsen, "Swimming Upstream," March/April 2012
Alaska's wild salmon have been heralded as healthy, tasty and sustainable. Even better news, they're back in record numbers. Here's why.
"I love Salmon but can't bring myself to buy it after Fukushima..the waters are contaminated now. "
Making these estimates requires understanding the unique life cycle of salmon. The sockeye that I held on Mike Poole's boat, for instance, probably hatched from the gravel bed of a clear forest stream hundreds of miles up from the Copper River Flats. (About a quarter of Alaskan sockeyes are hatchery raised, then released into the same river systems.) As a young fish, she made her way downstream, then headed out to sea, scarfing down tiny crustaceans and packing on pounds. Programmed for wanderlust, she roamed across the north Pacific. And somehow found her way back, five years later. Once she closed in on the mouth of the Copper River, she could smell home. Loaded with nutrients from her years at sea, she prepared to make her last journey, during which she would not eat. If she hadn't had the misfortune of running into Mike's gill net, she would have powered her way 300 miles upriver, gaining a thousand feet of altitude, fighting the seven-knot current all the way, responding to her earliest smell memories until she was within a few feet of the exact place where she was born. There, surrounded by others of her generation, and accompanied by the male of her choice, she would have picked her spot, turned sideways, beat away a depression in the river bed with her tail, and laid her eggs. After the male sprinkled sperm over the top, she'd have swept gravel over the nursery. And then, her life's mission complete, she'd die within days.
Keeping salmon populations sustainable is simply a matter of letting enough of them complete that spawning journey to seed the next generation. Unfortunately, on most of the world's salmon rivers—which once included almost all the rivers of the northern U.S., Canada and Europe—dams have made that impossible. They have been the kiss of death for some extraordinary salmon runs, including the Columbia, which once may have held 16 million salmon, but now holds just 2 million. "When they put those dams in," Bert Lewis says, "they made a choice to have cheap electricity instead of salmon." So far, Alaska has chosen abundant salmon and expensive electricity.

Fourth Annual Photographers' Retreat
April 12 (Friday) – 14 (Sunday), 2013 Peters Valley Craft Center, Layton, New Jersey All Photographers Welcome! Cost: Room including Continental breakfast (Friday & Saturday night) $150.00
What is a Photographers' Retreat? This one is an opportunity for photographers to meet together over an unstructured weekend to talk, share work, see what others are doing, make new photographs, and in general, "hang out" with people who speak the same language as you. How does it differ from a workshop or conference? There is no agenda, lectures or classroom teachers. At this retreat we all get to be students and we can all be teachers. This is an informal gathering and you may attend all or part of the weekend. There is no registration charge.
There are accommodations at PVCC for about 30 people, which are Spartan and involve shared bathrooms. Some linen is provided but you should bring a pillow and towels, as well as a warm sleeping bag to keep you comfortable at night. A flashlight is a must as there is minimal lighting around the campus. You will want to bring along layers of clothing for the changing season. The cost for two nights with Continental breakfasts is $150.00. To reserve a room at Peters Valley Craft Center call Jen at 973-948-5200 (M-F, 9:30 am – 4:00 pm). There is a list of motels/hotels near Peters Valley on their website (www.petersvalley.org) if you wish for more private accommodations.
Friday evening we will have an informal "no host" dinner at a local pub followed by a get-together on campus for those who are around (BYOB and snacks). Saturday morning is generally used for photographing. Saturday afternoon we set up a portfolio sharing area in the Thunder Mountain Studios. Bring work to share if you want to, but it is not required. You are not obligated to attend any of the "events". Saturday evening we will make reservations for the group at the Walpack Inn located in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Lunches etc. will be the responsibility of the photographers.
Peters Valley Craft Center, also in the park, is a beautiful place to explore (www.nps.gov/dewa) and photograph. We will also have access to photograph the buildings and grounds of PVCC. You can spend your weekend photographing, sharing work and looking at the work of others, connecting with old friends and making new ones in whatever degree of involvement you would like. This is hoped to be an opportunity that works for all of you who choose to attend. The intention of this weekend is simply to give photographers a chance to meet, talk and share with other photographers their personal experiences of being a photographer.
Please let me know if you are planning to attend (email@example.com; (207) 230-0199) so that we can set up spaces for portfolio sharing and socializing based on the size of the group.
Invite your photographer friends along and let's make this fourth annual event a wonderful opportunity for all of us! I look forward to seeing you in April.

hi everyone,
our mum is feeling very sorry for herself. she went to hospital on wednesday last week to have her 2 big toenails removed. she got back home the same day thank goodness.
she had huge dressings on her toes but she said it wasn't really sore just a bit uncomfortable. she went back to the chiropodist today to have the dressings changed. the new ones are much smaller, and they don't smell nearly so yummy.
i am trying really hard not to stand on mum's toes.
anyway i'm saving my energy for the day centre tomorrow.
nite all.
hi everybody,
our mum has been messing on the computer looking up the meaning of our names.
wait for this, my name means son of the black man. it comes from the gaelic mac duib.
just another piece of useless info for you not to lose sleep over.
well another year older, mind you i'll have to go a bit to catch up with mum, she's had 58 of them and dad has had 63. just imagine being that old!
as you can see mum has added some new fotos of me. these were taken before little sis came on the scene. i don't have my coat cut like that any longer. susan always leaves me with a skirt and hairy legs, well i am a scotsman after all.
my ball is in one of the fotos, my bestest pal in the world my ball.
ah well a little nap now i think

BMW Snap In Apple Adapters

Mein Auto: 2004 Escalade, 2012 750Li
View My Garage
I'm on my 3rd 750Li and finally I made sure that this latest one (2012 750Li) had BMW APPS (6nr package I believe- PRE installed). And to answer some questions.
1). Yes, you can view your iTunes library using the cover flow. However, those of you who have BMW APPS and haven't been able to get it to work should try this. First you need to download the connected drive iPhone app from app store. It's free. Second, you will need the MEDIA cradle snap in adapter (as mentioned above by an earlier poster). Once you snap in the adapter; you will then need to plug in your iPhone Into the cradle AND while it is In the cradle, you will need to launch the BMW connected application. Once it syncs up with your car you will then be able to use iTunes as described above, as well access to Facebook, web radio, your phone contacts and calendar appointments. I have tested all of these features using an iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 using the MEDIA cradle adapter, and both work as advertised. Also, please take note that these features are only available while the phone is in the cradle AND BMW connected is running. Do not worry, text messages and phone calls (in a. Outgoing) are NOT affected. Also, The video that is ON my iTunes Library plays just fine on the screen, and I can use iDrive to select the video, BUT IT ONLY WORKS while the car is in PARK. I don't have DVD in Motion installed and NOR do I want to have it installed. I already have a DVD bypass on my Escallade with an Alpine DVD touch screen Nav Unit, and I will be perfectly HONEST with you guys,.... It is realky COOL, BUT it is an accident waiting to happen. But each of you must make that decision for yourself, you're all adults.
2). BMW Office: first, BMW made it perfectly clear in the website that the full office features, such as texting and email, where not available on ANY version of the iPhone. I suspect it's an Apple issue. My SA told me that some of his other clients who MUST (for whatever reason) be able to access text and email via the iDrive and OFFICE feature, while driving (yes the car WILL read the email to you), are buying Blackberry's with like 50 minutes a month (really cheap) but with A BIG DATA plan. They then add the blackberry as a 2nd phone to the 7 series and when they wanna email, or text, they simply go to the phone menu and switch the main phone from the iPhone to the blackberry. The 7 allows you to sync multiple phones to the same user profile. Since I get about 50 work emails a day, I'm seriously considering buying a blackberry, but with the release last week of BMW REMOTE (YES it works perfectly and as advertised, if yours doesn't, its because you don't have BMW Apps or you failed to set it up and sync it properly... But that's off topic). But anyway, I'm hoping Apple and BMW can come come up with a software upgrade soon to make the email and text feature available via the iPhone soon.
P.S. if you are buying a new or used 7 series, and you want BMW APPS and/or full-true iPhone integration, you need to be careful. A lot of sales guys lie to you OR they honestly but mistakenly believe your car can you what you are asking it to do, in relation to iPhone, iPod integration. So DO NOT SIGN on the dotted line until the your sales guy walks over to the parts department, snaps in the MEDIA cradle and you sync your iPhone or other mobile device and be sure that BMW APPS does what you expect it to do and what the sales guy told you it would do. The features available on BMW Apps are heavily dependent on what brand/model of mobile you have. So be mindful. Since 2007 when I bought my 1st 7 series these forums have always been full about WHEN will BMW provide a Retrofit for your model car to make it fully iPhone compatible. And with the exception of some weird after market Mods, please correct me of I'm wrong, but BMW thus far had not retrofitted anything. You either orders the 6nr package when you bought your car brand new, or the guy who bought it first did so and and now you're the lucky new owner of a properly outfitted CPO 7 series.
Cheers my friends. I hopes this helped someone. :-)

Older, established lines of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), such as those that President George W. Bush approved for federal funding in 2001, are different in significant ways than more recently derived cell lines, according to researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles.
UCLA molecular biologist Amander Clark and her colleagues found crucial differences involving RNA functioning between six hESC lines that they developed in the past three years and cell lines derived prior to 2001. They report their results in this week's issue of Human Molecular Genetics.
Clark and her team focused on the process of X chromosome inactivation that every female stem cell undergoes during development. They confirmed that the established hESC lines had already undergone X chromosome inactivation prior to differentiation, but discovered that the process itself—which usually entails non-coding RNA activity and a special form of chromatin—was altered. Though they did not observe X chromosome inactivation unfolding live, the researchers detected a difference in the chemical signature of the process left behind in the established cell lines. "The classic signature is gone, so something else is regulating X chromosome inactivation in the established cell lines," Clark said in a statement. "It will be important not only to find out what that is, but also to discover what else is changing in the nucleus that we cannot see regardless of whether the cell line is male or female."
More-recently derived stem cell lines can develop to a point where one of their X chromosomes becomes inactivated, but Clark and her team demonstrated a protocol, using small molecules, for preventing the new cell lines from undergoing the process. Maintaining pluripotent cell lines that retain both X chromosomes could be crucial for studying X-linked diseases, according to Clark. "Our data highlights the importance of maintaining human embryonic stem cell derivation efforts," Clark and her coauthors write in the paper. "Gold standard human embryonic stem cell lines should be the benchmark for all human pluripotent stem cell research."

Defensive Tackle (2004-05)
Junior college transfer Jesse Mahelona burst onto the Tennessee football scene in a big way in 2004 being named All-America by The Sporting News. Showing an uncanny ability to disrupt opponent offenses, Mahelona had 18.5 tackles for loss to finish sixth on UT's season TFL chart. He is second on Tennessee ball-carrier loss charts with 13.5. Mahelona recorded multiple sacks in six games in 2004 and had five in an impressive outing against Notre Dame Nov. 6. He is the only player who wore No. 55 to be named an All-American. The late Mahelona played in the NFL with the Titans, Dolphins and Falcons before passing away in 2009.

If it is not easy or convenient to carry concealed then we are tempted to sometimes leave our shooting irons at home, in the glove box, in the truck, dresser drawer etc. After experimenting with a pair of Glock 19's for a while, I settled on a matched set of Airweight, hammerless S&W model 642's in .38+P. I carry one in each front pocket in thin Uncle Mikes holsters. When I draw them the holsters ALWAYS remain in my pocket. They fit quite flush and it is almost impossible for anyone to detect that I am carrying. (that's the whole point right?) I carry these two pistols all day, everyday, everywhere I go and sometimes almost forget they are there. Any way.....that is what works for me. By the way, if I feel that this is not enough fire power for the situation I find myself in, there is always the flight option!

1 Cor 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
Do you believe this?
18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: " I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. 22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks (or gentiles) seek after wisdom; 23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
It could not be clearer. Understanding and accepting the Message of the Cross has nothing at all to do with our human intellect, our human ability to reason, our human cleverness or wisdom. It has to do with God and His mercy and His Grace and His vast Love towards us. This love so great, sent His Son to die in our stead, for our sin, not His. God Himself became our Saviour. It begins and ends with Him and Him alone – He moves us to respond to Him, because He is omniscient (all knowing) and omnipresent (everywhere all the time) and omnipotent (all powerful) He knew before time began who would bow their knee to Him. Jesus died on the Cross for you and me, while we were still sinners! Nothing we can add to this can make it any more perfect, any more 'MOREISH'. It is completed, finished.
And you and I, when we open our hearts and ask God's forgiveness for having lived without Him, being independent and from Him for so long and so sinfully as a result of this, it is on the basis of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we are able to be reconciled to our Heavenly Father, and on that basis alone. (His Atonement)
No good deeds or works, no kind words, not even dying for another or believing in some benevolent, supernatural creator or even, as some may believe, sitting in a church every Sunday as a matter of keeping up appearances with your neighbour, without the Life of Christ in you, as good as they may sound or appear to others on the outside, without Jesus Christ and His Cross and believing the words of Jesus in John 14:6 where Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." every single thing outside of Him that is trying to attain to salvation via human goodness or in human ways is utterly futile and will lead to a place of eternal death and not to a place of eternal life as some may have been falsely led to believe. As hard as this may be to accept, It is God's Truth. The cry of the world and even many deceived modern day Christians is, -"God is Love and won't send kind people to hell – he is not a God of Love if he does this." They do not know the God of their Bible.
Mark 2:17
When Jesus heard it, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance."
Good people don't go to heaven. Broken, repentant, sinners do.
Romans 5:7-9
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
God loves you and wants you to come to a place of repentance and Salvation and to spend eternity with you, but it has to be His way and His way is through Jesus Christ. You can say yes or you can say no. You might have been told and believe that 'you are just acceptable as you are' in God's eyes, that 'you can have Jesus and your life as it is right now', or 'that God has no need of changing anything in your life'. If you believe that then, I am to tell you in the love of God, that you are believing a lie and to plead with you to look to God for His Truth and examine all that you currently believe. That 'gospel' is not the Gospel of God, that is the gospel according to man and you are in a place of utter deception. Go and read the Bible for yourself. Ask the Lord to show you His Truth. Write to me if you have questions, or to any of the dear brothers and sisters on my links to other blogs, but don't just turn away from what I have written here. You have too much to lose and will have eternity to reflect on your loss.
In the love of Jesus

Boxing News
Aquino headlines in Middletown, CT
With three fights already in 2012 it's been a busy year for Meriden, Connecticut super bantamweight Danny Aquino. And it's about to get even busier. On September 30th at the Advanced SportPlex in Middletown, CT, Aquino (13-1, 8 KOs) will box in the co-main event of an eight-fight card presented by Cartelli Promotions. It will mark his first ten round bout. Aquino has headlined the first two cards of the "Fight 4 Pride" series this year, and this time he will share top billing with New Haven super bantamweight Luis Rosa, Jr. (11-0, 5 KOs). New Haven prospects Nate Green (122), Charles Foster (175), and Oscar Bonilla (135) will also appear in six round bouts. Welterweight prospect Dominic DeSanto will appear in a four-rounder.

Well, as you can see in the above link, i am having an arguement between a guy with a cobra and my car. We ran a few months back, and the cobra could stick with me only at higher rpms, and at lower rpms, i would totally kill him, especially from a roll. We are going to run tomorrow and get it on tape.
What do u guys think the outcome will be from a stop to about 80-90mphs? I have chip intake exhaust mod in my R32 and he has just an upgraded clutch. Remember, we are doing this from a stop.

Leveraged Loan Mutual Fund Assets Reach Record $82.1 Bln
Leveraged loan mutual funds' assets under management climbed 3.5% to a record $82.1 billion in September, according to Standard & Poor's LCD, besting the prior peak of $80.7 billion seen last August.
As junk bond yields fell to record lows and prices rose to record highs last month, investors increasingly turned to leveraged loans, a kindred asset class consisting of bank loans made to companies with speculative-grade ratings. Loans benefit from higher positions in company capital structures and typically offer floating rates, with leveraged loans returning 5% a year on average, according to Markit.
S&P LCD credited a combination of rising loan prices and strong inflows that bolstered loan fund assets under management, with retail investors putting $1.7 billion of new cash to work in the asset class during the month, the most since May 2011, marking a 2.1% AUM increase, while the average price of the S&P/LSTA Loan 100 Index rose 0.65% in September.
On September 30, Invesco's PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN), the exchange-traded loan fund based on that same index, reached $1 billion AUM, from $927 million a month earlier.
From S&P LCD's Steve Miller:
Looking ahead, managers expect AUM growth to slow a bit if only because loan prices have stabilized in recent days as a result of rising new-issue supply.... As for fresh inflows, managers expect the recent pace of $400-500 million a week to continue, assuming the risk-on trade persists. Loan funds remain, after all, one of the few ways to access relatively wide distributions, with open-end funds paying yields of 4.5-5% and closed-end funds that use leverage paying 6-7%. And that's before taking into account the obvious hedges loans provide against rising rates or defaults.
Moreover, among the 22 closed-end, exchange traded loan funds tracked by CEFCONNECT.com, 16, or 73%, were trading at a premium to NAV on Oct. 15. That suggests that new closed-end fund creation – either through new IPOs such as such as BGB last month or secondary offerings – is possible.
Total loan market returns as measured by the Markit iBoxx USD Liquid Leveraged Loans Index, reached 9.65% year to date as of this week.

Harmonics Limited featured in High-Profile MagazineRead More
The transformers included in HL TransMax product are premium transformers featuring:
Blockade Technology prevents third harmonics currents from:
With Blockade Technology, transformers do not need to be K-rated and oversized or doubled neutrals are not required.
Premium non-K-rated transformers used in TransMax products feature a 4% - 6% impedance.
Equivalent k-Rated transformers of the same kVA, by the nature of their design, typically have a lower impedance. This lower impedance results in slightly HIGHER harmonic currents throughout the system, causing higher harmonic heat losses, decreased useable capacity, increased neutral-to-ground voltage, and increased energy usage.
K-rated transformers do not mitigate harmonic currents. They are simply designed to withstand the heat produced by these extra currents and to not fail when subjected to harmonic overheating.
The HL TransMax products, using standard impedance transformers with Blockade Technology provide:
Blockade Technology benefits, matched by no other harmonic mitigating product, include:

The place to be: Desperado Sports Tavern—often called "The Despo"—is Missoula's de facto Green Bay Packers bar, and come Sunday the Garden City's most devout cheeseheads will belly-up before the bar's 32 HDTVs to watch their beloved Pack take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV.
What to expect: If the Packers win, absolute pandemonium. If they lose, despair on par with the beginning of prohibition in 1920. Either way, expect lots of beer and chicken wings—the best in town. You may also see long blonde wigs in honor of stud linebacker Clay Matthews, and green-clad men appearing to fasten invisible championship belts around their beer bellies a la quarterback Aaron Rodgers after a touchdown.
Why The Despo: Ask Packers fans. Owner Brian Cote never intended for Desperado to be a Packers bar. He says "immigrants from Lambeau" simply took the place over. We'll see if the Packers dynamic offense can similarly impose its will on the menacing Steelers defense.
What about Steelers fans? Anecdotal evidence suggests there are many fewer "Stillers" fans than Packers fans in Missoula. In any case, many will surely watch the Super Bowl at Paradise Falls sports bar on Brooks Street.
How to find The Despo: Point your feet, bike or cab driver toward 3101 S. Russell Street, near the YMCA.

February 16, 2010 By Bill Schrier
The nation's e-mail and blogging and twitter engines worked overtime on Wednesday February 10th when Google announced its intent to fund ultra-high-speed Internet access for 50,000 to 500,000 people nationwide.
This ain't your grandma's "broadband" connection. And it ain't the 100-squared broadband envisioned by FCC Chair Julius Genachowski in a speech on Tuesday February 15th - 100-squared is 100 megabits per second to 100 million people by 2020 - a pretty bold vision in and of itself. Google wants to provide one gigabit (one billion bits or about 120 million bytes) per second to homes via fiber optic cable.
At a gigabit per second, a very high quality movie would download in 8 seconds flat, compared to an hour or more with a fast cable modem or DSL connection. Google published an RFI and is seeking responses from cities who want Google to come and build. The City of Seattle announced very quickly its intention to apply and jump on the bandwagon. Of course we have a visionary Mayor, Mike McGinn, who is publicly seeking, as a priority for his administration, to build a fiber network to every home and business in Seattle.
So what is Google trying to do here?

CEDIA 'Selecting Display Size' White Paper Now Available
CEDIA's "Selecting Display Size based on Room Size and Seating" white paper explains how to determine the ideal display size for multi-purpose areas based on room size and seating location.
LCD and plasma TVs account for 76 percent of displays installed in homes, according to CEDIA's annual report "Size and Scope of the Residential Electronic Systems Market in the US."
While many consumers believe the bigger the better, it is important for integrators to be able to explain how different display sizes can enhance the overall user experience.
CEDIA has created a new white paper, Selecting Display Size based on Room Size and Seating, to discuss recommended methodologies for determining the ideal display size for multi-purpose areas based on room size and seating location.
"Display size can make or break a room especially in a multi-purpose space," says Dave Pedigo, CEDIA's senior director of technology and learning. "It is important not only to calculate the appropriate size display for the room, but ESCs also need to be able to explain their recommendations to their client. This white paper can help bridge that gap of understanding for both the ESC and the consumer."
The recommendations outlined in this document are for displays with 1080p resolution and an aspect ratio of 16:9. Recently, 4K displays have become available for theaters and consumers, but because 4K displays are still less common than 1080p, those recommendations will be discussed in a separate whitepaper which has not yet been published as of the writing of this document.
The new white paper is available free of charge for CEDIA members or $9.99 for non-members in the CEDIA Marketplace. This paper does not touch on display selection for a dedicated home theater because that information was addressed in CEA/CEDIA-CEB23: Home Theater Recommended Practices: Video Design, which is also available in the CEDIA Marketplace.

text: NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The phenomenal 45-year career of international megastar Julio Iglesias, one of the world's ten best-selling recording artists with global sales in excess of 300 million units, is the focus of an inspired new collection of his signature songs entitled 1 – GREATEST HITS. The title is set for release April 9, 2013, through Columbia/ Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20060130/LEGACYLOGO ) Already certified multi-platinum in virtually every Spanish-speaking territory on earth, 1 – GREATEST HITS showcases newly-recorded versions (from 2006 and 2011) of the bulk of its tracks, representing Julio's most-loved hits from the '70s, '80s and '90s. These are the songs that have turned Julio into the world's biggest-selling Latin artist and one of the most emblematic celebrities of all time. 1 – GREATEST HITS is the first new album from Julio since Romantic Classics in 2006. The collection will be available in two separate configurations: The 2-CD version will include 37 tracks, comprising 19 tracks on CD One and 18 tracks on CD Two. The deluxe version will include the same two CDs, plus Starry Night: Live From the Greek Theatre , the DVD chronicle of Julio's historic concert at the legendary Los Angeles venue in 1990. "This album," said Julio of the project he has been working on for three years, "is mainly dedicated to all the anonymous people who have been following me for 45 years, with generosity and affection, and who have allowed me to keep singing up until today. They'll always be the great driving force of my career."

Product Description
technical comment
- In January 2007 e.s.t. were on tour in Asia and Australia performing shows in Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, Jakarta, Perth and Sydney. It was their third tour of Japan and their second time on the fifth continent and the venues and audiences had become noticeably bigger. Only a few weeks before they had finished their triumphant tour of Germany performing their now legendary "Live in Hamburg" concert (awarded 'Album of the Decade' by the London TIMES). It was undoubtedly the prime time of the style defining jazz band of the Noughties.
Esbjörn Svensson, Magnus Öström and Dan Berglund decided to rent the famous Studio 301 in Sydney for their off-days in the middle of the Australian tour and jammed for two consecutive days to develop new songs and material. Altogether they recorded 9 hours of music. "Leucocyte" became the first release from this recording and has been praised by critics and fans alike as a ground-breaking work that leads into a new musical universe.
Very soon after the recording Esbjörn Svensson had edited much of the material down to two albums. And so the plan at the time was to release either a double album or two consecutive albums from this recording. The untimely passing of Esbjörn Svensson then disrupted this undertaking and only one of the albums, "Leucocyte", was released at the time.
Three years on, in October and November 2011, Dan Berglund and Magnus Öström revisited the material from that recording and together with their regular sound engineer Ake Linton made their own edit for an album which is now called "301" on the basis of the name of the studio where the album was recorded.

An alum sent us his old financial aid award letter for our records. It's amazing that he's kept it this long. We found it as interesting as he thought we would, so we're just going to post it here for all to enjoy!
Anyone else have anything from "days of Multnomah yore" that they'd like to share with the world?

Seahawks coach Jim Mora insists that the "sky is not falling," despite his team's 25-19 loss to the Bears Sunday and the growing possibility of another injury-ruined year.
Bears-Seahawks one-liners
purpleguy says: Sep 28, 2009 1:29 PM
Gotta love those erratic kickers.
LarryBird18 says: Sep 29, 2009 12:56 PM
Bottom Line, the Bears should be 0-3. The 2 wins you do have are without a doubt because the opposing kickers have missed a total of 4 field goal inside of 45 yards. Chicago is a sh*t team, you are an 8-8 team at best. I can't wait to see A.D. spank that *ss! At least Green Bay looks like they want to compete for the North. By the way Green Bay, thank you. That last second touchdown pass Sunday, came courtesy of you fella!
Get used to the smell of our *ss because you will be trailing us all year…Only this year it won't smell like TJack/Gus *ss…its gonna smell like Brett Favre ass. And Green Bay will eat, basque, and bath in it. Haha thats a great idea. In Minnesota we will manufacture cheese called "Brett Favre's Ass" then we will exclusively sell it to Wisconsin and at this time we will ask the question. Hey Green Bay, tell us how Brett Favre's ass tastes? And then Green Bay will respond. "Not too good."
Beer Cheese Soup says: Sep 29, 2009 7:11 PM
Alright Larry. I'm pretty sure we all know you have Brett Favre by now, and that he's suddenly good for the first time in his career because he's on your team.
You can quit waving that in everyone's face now, especially the Bear fans that care even less than we do. There's a huge target on your back right now,. and every team left on your schedule is gunning for you, just because of all your talk, and your arrogance, and your trophies claimed in April. You may get past the Pack on Monday, but you won't get past everyone.

Threats send California octuplets mom into hiding
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California's octuplets mom, already jobless and receiving food stamps, has gone into hiding with her six older children because of death threats, her spokesman said on Wednesday.
Nadya Suleman, 33, has come under mounting public ridicule for expanding her already large family via fertility treatments that led to the January 26 birth of six boys and two girls at a Los Angeles-area hospital.
That criticism has mushroomed as it was reported that she was divorced, living with her parents, unemployed for several years, receiving disability checks for three of her children -- one of whom is autistic -- and collecting nearly $500 a month in food stamps.
She acknowledged those circumstances in a series of NBC television interviews but insisted in a segment aired on Tuesday on "Dateline NBC" that she was "not living off any taxpayer money" and that assistance she now receives is temporary.
The broadcast drew the highest "Dateline" ratings since a 2007 interview with Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry.
Suleman, who was working toward an advanced degree in counseling, said she owes close to $50,000 in student loans, which also are her sole source of non-government income.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the Kaiser Permanente hospital where the newborns remain is seeking reimbursement for the cost of their care from Medi-Cal, the state's health care program for the poor. Those costs are expected to reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, the newspaper said.

Stereo Amp/receiver For Guitar Use
I purchased a Boss gt6 efx processor (containing it s own preamps within the unit) that I use with my Marshall stack amplifier.....but I have these big honking...stereo speakers that I ve had stored in my basement for a hundred years...Optimus Mach 6000 speakers (Radio Shack) dimensions are 40"x171/2"x111/2", the construction is 3/8 board...speaker compliment per cabinet is as follows 1-15",3-5",&1-4"....had thought about running my processor and guitar thru them in the garage (wife) rather than having to lug my amp/cabs down there I would just take a guitar and the processor.
I had thought of possibly trying to build them into actives.....and failing that I would like to know if you gentleman could recommend a stereo amp/receiver... (back in the day I had a sony quad system with a 1/4 inch jack you could plug thru).... that I could scower garage sales or second hand stores that would be cheap and could be used for this purpose...or any suggestions would be appreciated.

Baltimore poised to impose strict new youth curfew
By Ian Simpson
BALTIMORE (Reuters) - City officials in crime-ridden Baltimore on Tuesday defended plans for one of the toughest U.S. youth curfews against criticism from residents who were skeptical about police enforcement of the new law.
In a forum with residents, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said the measure, set to take effect on Aug. 8, was aimed at getting children off the streets before they were put in danger.
"This is not about criminalizing young black children but to reach them before the only option for them is law enforcement," the mayor told the crowd of about 100 people.
Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said he had sometimes come across children riding bicycles across the city at 3 a.m. When the parents were contacted, they had no idea where their children were, he said.
"They should not be out there, and you should be honest about that," Batts said.
The new curfew in Baltimore, the setting for such gritty television police dramas as "The Wire", will make it a violation for a youth under 14 to be outside their homes after 9 p.m. year-round. Those aged 14 to 16 would be banned from being outside on school nights after 10 p.m. and on other nights after 11 p.m.
Police could take violators to a curfew center, where they and the parents will have access to social services. Parents would have to take city-approved counseling classes and could face a $500 fine for repeat violations, up from the previous $300.
Children younger than 17 can now stay out until 11 on weeknights and until midnight on weekends. Continued...
