Much of the harsh noise we experience in a room comes from sound bouncing off hard surfaces, like floors, ceilings, and furniture. Armstrong acoustical panels are designed to reduce the sound that strikes their surface by up to 70%.
These panels also serve as barriers to block sound from traveling to adjacent rooms. As they soften, remove, and diffuse sound, acoustical panels help create a more pleasant environment, free of echoes and bothersome noise.
The high performance surface of acoustical ceiling panels by Armstrong can reduce noise by 55% or more, making them excellent choices for a home theater or game room.View Sound Blocking Ceilings

This paper describes a method of modeling fluorescent lamps. The lamp model can be implemented in all major circuit simulation software packages, an example has been given for SPICE and Simulink. The model is based upon a simplified set of physical equations that gives the model validity over a wider range of operating conditions than current fluorescent lamp SPICE models allow for. The model can be used to model any low-pressure mercury-buffer gas fluorescent lamps by entering key lamp parameters, length, radius, cold-spot temperature, and buffer gas fill pressure. If fill pressure is not known, a default value dependent on lamp radius is used. The model shows good agreement over a wide range of operating frequencies and lamp powers.

8/22/2007 / Leadership
"Through desire a man, having separated himself, intermingles with all wisdom," (Proverbs 18:1).
To have a more accurate knowledge of the foregoing passage, it is beneficially instructive to read it from other contemporary versions and revisions of the Holy Bible:
"A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment," (NKJV).
"The selfish man quarrels against every sound principle of conduct by demanding his own way," (TLB).
Interestingly, the Dake's Annotated Reference Bible gave us the following rather very enlightening and much more sensible marginal rendition, which is totally different from the major thrust of the rest of the modern versions:
"A man seeking wisdom and knowledge will separate himself from all other pursuits, so he can devote himself to his scientific investigations. He becomes a voluntary recluse for the sake of his desires."
Firstly, I see in our opening text a man so dissatisfied with the status quo that he passionately craves a radical break-away from the mainstream establishments and the general societal drift. All of his life, he had been fed on the same diet of deceits. But now, he finally makes up his mind to rebel against the system, (to break away from every known man-made traditions, culture and customs), and to cut loose from all the accepted norms of 'civilized society', in order to pursue the path unknown to others.
Incidentally, this happens to be where many of us are strapped and trapped - right down in the valley of decisions; surrounded with so-called 'earthly comforts' that we wouldn't want to miss for anything else. It is a life of complacency, redundancy and unquestioned, unreasoned contentment; a life of lies and make-beliefs!
However, until we are ready to ask those questions that others dare not ask, we are not ready to break away and break through into our ultimate liberty; and until those questions are correctly and courageously asked, we are not yet adequately prepared to hobnob with intermingled wisdom.
Secondly, I feel a strong sense of pity and empathy for the young man in our text, because, by isolating himself from the mainstream society and from all the 'accepted societal behaviours', he is accused of quarreling with every known sound principles of conduct. He is also considered to be notorious, unpopular, an upstart and a rabble rouser.
Not many of us will be willing to endure or put up with the ugly name callings or derisive comments from our peers and associates.
We all want to be held in high esteem and to be acceptable in the eyes of our fellow peers; but the sure steps that would place us on the path that leads to our God-given destinies must almost always be walked and trudged alone. No one else, (however closely acquainted to us), is permitted to walk along with us on that lonely way that leads into our individual destinies. It is mostly a lone walk even though we are never ever alone, because Jesus is always there for us! Are you ready for that radical departure from the well-established principles of 'sound conduct'?
Thirdly, by venturing into the uncharted and unmapped world of 'unexplored adventures and opportunities', the young man of Proverbs 18:1 learns lessons of wisdom from various angles and strata of life, as well as from different inexplicable phenomena of nature, and he is generously enriched by all the experiences so gained.
While we do not advocate the Don Quixote's impractical, idealist-adventurous lifestyle, we can safely conclude that we all can gain most significantly if we resolutely and stoutly stand up to stir up ourselves to reach out for the distant stars that are waiting to be explored and to be conquered!
Pastor Michael McBuba gave his life to Jesus Christ some twenty-nine years ago.
He is joyfully married to Pastor Christie, and they are blessed with two lovely daughters, Iyanu-Virtue (Foster) and Madeleine-Nkem-Pelum (Biological).
He is an Admin Staff of HSFL, and worships with the RCCG, Lagos.

Lil Buck talks about jookin and his show at Le Poisson Rouge
Lil Buck, the jookin sensation, talks about the Memphis dance style and his new show at Le Poisson Rouge.
Mon Mar 25 2013
Time Out New York: That's so crazy.
Lil Buck: I don't think a lot of people really even know about that. That's just how I found out I was really flexible. As I was jookin, I think I did a move and my ankle twisted, and it didn't hurt, and I found out I could actually hold that position. I was like, Wow, I'm really flexible. Let me incorporate this into my style. So I just started incorporating my flexibility into my jookin style and formed a whole new style within the style.
Time Out New York: When did you introduce ballet?
Lil Buck: I took ballet for two-and-a-half years; I started when I was, I think, 17. But I started incorporating that into my dancing when I moved to L.A. I was 19 and moved to L.A. with $20 in my pocket. [Laughs]. We were not rich or anything like that. All my mom had was $20, and she gave it to me, blessed me, prayed for me. She believed in me, that's why she let me go. And I got on the plane and just made it happen.
Time Out New York: Why did you choose L.A.?
Lil Buck: I'd been flown out there before for a music video. Someone hit me up on Myspace. [Snickers] That's when Myspace was popular. They wanted to fly me out for a music video for a local artist. I had a lot of people hit me up when I was in Memphis and never came through, but something made me stick with this person. I kept in contact with him, and it took a whole year, but after that year they said, "We have everything ready, we're going to fly you and one more person out. Do you know anybody else you can get to jook with you?" And I was like, "No problem. I have a friend, Ron Myles." His dance name is Prime Tyme; he lives with me in L.A., and he's out there bringing the style of jookin up with me.
Time Out New York: So you live in L.A. now?
Lil Buck: Yeah, I live in Burbank. But going back to your other question, I moved to L.A. and that's when I actually started incorporating ballet into my style. I got an agent ASAP, and I started doing auditions. And I was just like, I might as well just keep what I learned and put it into my dancing so I can always be working on it and perfecting it in a way. And that's what I've been doing. I just remember everything I've learned.
Time Out New York: Do you study videos?
Lil Buck: I watch videos from jookers in Memphis to keep up with it, but I don't watch too many other dance styles. The only dance style I really watch that's not jookin is flexing. Flexing is a dance style from here in New York. I also have a lot of friends who do other styles like hip-hop and contemporary. When I get a chance to, if one of my friends is doing a contemporary show or something like that, I'll come out and support them, but I don't really watch a lot of videos.
Time Out New York: How did you meet Damian Woetzel?
Lil Buck: I met him through his wife, Heather [Watts]. Heather found me on Facebook. Facebook is amazing. [Laughs] She actually saw a clip of me dancing to The Swan before I even knew who Yo-Yo Ma was. I was with New Ballet Ensemble. [Artistic director] Katie Smythe, my ballet teacher, took me to a show in Arkansas for kids, and it was my first time dancing with the company; she wanted me to stay in my own element because I was still learning ballet. She really respected jookin, and I love her for that. And she was like, "Well let's try something." She put in a CD [of Camille Saint-Saëns's The Dying Swan] and she was like, "Do you think you can dance to this?" I told her, "I just have to hear it once and then I've got it." We were on our way to the actual show. I didn't know what I was going to do. She let the CD play on our way there, and I heard it twice. We got there, and I performed. The kids went crazy.
Time Out New York: Heather saw that on YouTube?
Lil Buck: Yes. She showed Damian I guess, and Damian was like, "Yo-Yo has to see this." They just went crazy, and they reached out to Katie Smythe. I was invited to see Yo-Yo do a show at the Walt Disney [Concert] Hall. I was like, I don't even know who Yo-Yo Ma is, but this sounds cool. So I looked him up on the Internet and I'll be damned if Yo-Yo Ma isn't the greatest cello player in the world. [Laughs] I was like, what? That really messed me up in the head. I met Yo-Yo, and this was the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. Yo-Yo looked at me—he didn't shake my hand—and he gave me a big hug. He said, "I want to try something." Exact words. He opened up his cello case and he just started playing with no hesitation, no warning. And I'll be damned if I didn't start dancing. The chemistry was there. We were so in sync. He played the whole song, and I danced to it so fluidly, as if we had always been performing together. After that, Yo-Yo gave me another big hug and he said, "Beautiful, man, beautiful." And it's just been a great relationship ever since then.
Time Out New York: How do you and Yo-Yo work together? Is it just as spontaneous?
Lil Buck: Always. He loves it like that. It's just something so natural for me. It's not anything out of the ordinary at all. I love doing freestyle and dancing improv because I just catch on quickly to music. I'm really in sync with the beat. I'm like a vessel for sound. Whenever I hear a sound, my body just takes over. It's no longer me.
Time Out New York: Do you always dance to music and never to silence?
Lil Buck: Well, it's never silent to me. From the outside-in, maybe, but never with me because I have a big jukebox in my head. Every song I've danced to, I remember. So if I hear that song again, I can move to it and know every beat. I learn really fast. That's why I got really big in my peers' eyes in Memphis. I got their respect because I learned extra fast. I learned jookin well in two years. And it [usually] takes like five years or more to really get seasoned.
Time Out New York: What are fundamentals of jookin?
Lil Buck: The gangsta walk is one of the fundamentals. We have a move called the L-step; it looks like you're drawing a big L with your heel and your toe. We have push-toe, that's a basic fundamental. We have the buck jump, which isn't my jump; my name just so happens to be Lil Buck. The classic buck jump might remind you of African dance back in the day. It's really spiritual. Jookin is a really spiritual dance as well. We get energy from the earth, you know? Every time our feet tap the floor, you just feel it.
Time Out New York: How do you train now?
Lil Buck: I train just by waking up early in the morning and dancing with my friend. We have a nice hardwood floor so we just dance in the kitchen until we gotta do something else, or we have to start our day. And that's it. I don't necessarily have a certain time or a practice that I do. I dance everywhere and all the time. No hours! This is life.

The reason I couldn't find him in 1870 is because James and his father are

Ruby Rennie Panter's curator insight, January 18, 2015 6:14 AM
This is a fairly basic list of ideas, but could be useful for an initial "checklist". For most of them, there will be associated research and when using "tips" it's always good to be critical and search for other points of view. "Be sure to build in tasks that generate peer-to-peer interaction and sharing; those where participants create something their peers can use and benefit from tend to be most successful" - good point, which has several underlying theoretical principles to back it up.

"Masahiko is seventeen," Mitsuko said. "He is a 'pathological-techno-fetishist-with-social-deficit,'" this last all strung together like one word, indicating a concept that taxed the lexicon of the ear-clips. Chia wondered briefly if it would be worth running it through her Sandbenders, whose translation functions updated automatically whenever she ported.
"A what?"
"Otaku," Mitsuko said carefully in Japanese. The translation burped its clumsy word string again.

How to Get Rid of a Clinger
How to Get Rid of a Stage-5 Clinger
We all know and love Vince Vaughn's crazy antics in Wedding Crashers. His character comes across a stage-five clinger; he's got to get the situation dealt with stat!
Although women are typically associated with this kind of behavior in the pop culture arena, I've met my fair share of dudes who share similarly clingy and incredibly overwhelming characteristics. It can be hard to effectively communicate what you want, or don't want, and end things with someone who can't get enough of you. And doing this all while remaining as kind as possible? It's a very delicate balancing act to say the least. If you're looking to get rid out of a similar situation, here are some rules to live by.
- Be honest. Even if it's hard. For some reason this is challenging for a lot of women. When we're talking with our girlfriends about the situation, we sound poised, confident, and like we know exactly what we want. When you put the guy on the other side of the equation, all of the preparation goes to the wind. If you're dealing with a serious clinger, maybe you've tried to end things once, twice, even three times. If you're not meeting in person to talk things through, have a shortlist of what you need to say. Don't try to sugarcoat it. If this guy is a clinger he's going to have to hear it straight up.
- Set healthy boundaries. And follow through. You may get the old "we can totally be friends" response. Be wary of this from a clinger. Maybe he's being sincere, but he may just be plotting a way to win back your heart. Set very specific limitations and give yourself a chance to breathe. Don't pick up every time he calls. Don't respond to every text. If you're going to try to forge any type of a friendship in the future, make it crystal clear that this kind of behavior will not fly. Also, remember there are no backsies! A night you're out and feeling lonely is not an excuse to call him and give him any inkling of hope. This is a two-way street, sister. For everyone's sake, it's integral that you hold up your end of the bargain.
- Realize it's not all about you. I know, you're really awesome. But he's dealing with his own issues and insecurities. He's projecting this relationship with all its idealized expectations smack dab onto your face. It's not your fault. And ending things does not make you a lady with a heart of stone. You know what you want, and deserve, and that's a healthy, consummate love.

Temporary files scanning, free space checking, and updated driver testing; these are just a few of the several important areas of your computer that one must check on periodically. Other aspects, such as virus and spyware scanning, should be run more on a daily basis. If you stop to examine and crate a list of items and processes to check up on, it may be larger that you think.
Of course, some of these tasks are already automated for you. Providing you have a decent security software package, the virus and spyware scanning are already covered. You may have a program that routinely checks for excessive temporary files, and cleans accordingly. Perhaps you even have a program like Diskeeper to help stave off file fragmentation.
Each of these types of programs has a practical purpose on your Windows computer. However, in order to view information on what all of them are doing, you have to go to each application and view the current activity or historical log files. The average person may not keep tabs on each program. Sometimes it helps to have a good overall picture of your computer so you know where to shift your focus.
Every so often, a program comes along that is helpful in getting you the information you need in short order. PC Matic's (found here) free scanning routine, rather the trial version of PC Matic, does a very good job of showing someone the inner workings of their Windows computer. This scan looks over many aspects including the amount of junk files on your computer, security threats, missing hardware drivers (if any), and a host of other areas.
When you open up PC Matic, the only clickable area is the Free Scan, illustrated by a large gear shaped icon. This is where you begin the assortment of scans run against your computer.
In this test sample, the scan took just shy of six minutes to complete. Keep in mind, PC Matic does not run a very detailed spyware type scan during this process, just a high level, quick scan (so it is not a substitute for your current anti-virus or anti-spyware software). Additionally, depending on the size of your registry, the amount of temporary files you have, and the overall speed of your computer affect the duration of the scan.
When the scan is finished, you will be presented with a dashboard covering all the sections of your computer that were scanned. On the left hand side of the dashboard, you have a brief Summary area, Security, Performance, and Disk results. Other than the summary box, any of the listings in the three other boxes are links to more information.
The colored boxes indicate one of four things. Green mean the test passed without issue, blue is simply information, yellow is a warning, and red needs immediate attention. Looking over the dashboard further, on the right hand side you will notice the Other and Reports areas.
One of the nice features of PC Matic is that each clickable item contains further explanation regarding the presented data. For instance, if you were to click on the High Security Threat Test, you will see a list of potential or actual threats.
Paired up with this list is a brief summary of the data, or actions to be taken. This may help alleviate some of the confusion people run into when running applications like this.
Moving on from the security section, one area to pay particular attention to is the Registry Test. When you click on this link, a list of registry errors is shown. If you notice a large amount of entries, they, among other things, can drag down your computer's performance and should be addressed.
Perhaps you are having issues with certain hardware, such as a video card. Even if you are not, if the Drivers test comes up red, you should look into it. In this section, any hardware that is not up to date with current drives files, will be flagged red here. Should you need to reference the driver version, it can be located under the Driver Details column.
No scanning utility of this type is complete with a temporary files (junk files) scanner. PC Matic is no exception. Clicking on the Junk Files Test will navigate you to the Junk Files section. When you click on one of the red arrows, a list will drop down and display the folders where the unneeded files are currently residing.
Last but not least, and this is a particularly interesting test, is the top ten largest files on your computer. Though you may not use the results of this test at all, this section is worth a look. Odds are, the largest files on your computer are system files like pagefile.sys, and other files with dollar symbols in their names. Granted, these are ones you do not want to delete. When you do locate one you wish to remove, hover the mouse pointer over that file to see its location on your computer.
Once again, this version of PC Matic is simply a free trial scan. The actual product, should you click on the Fix All link, is $49.99 for a 5 license version. The scanner itself is a good way to find issues on your computer without the need to purchase the paid version. There is a good chance your software tool set includes programs to fix these very issues. If nothing else, the PC Matic scan is a good starting point to create a "to do" list for computer maintenance.

Good title for an essay about "The Storm"?Could you help me to come up with a title for an essay that analyzes the story's plot structure and the main thesis of which is an answer to the question...
Could you help me to come up with a title for an essay that analyzes the story's plot structure and the main thesis of which is an answer to the question "How does Chopin use the climax of her story to make a point?"

I agree with copelmat that the final line of the story would make an excellent title. That final line is extremely ambiguous and perhaps even ironic, and so that title would give you the chance to take your paper in several possible directions. Indeed, that title would allow you to make the argument -- already made by Lawrence Berkove, among others -- that the story is not at all an endorsement of adultery but is in fact an ironic condemnation of the adulterous affair.
If you did want to argue that the story in some ways affirms the affair, here is another phrase from the text that might make a good main title (with an explanatory subtitle: "the very borderland of life's mystery." I could imagine a paper titled this way: "The Very Borderland of Life's Mystery: Sex and Awakening in Kate Chopin's 'The Storm.'" Even as I type that title, however, I find it a bit silly, because I personally think that Chopin mocks the affair as much as she admires it (if she admires it at all). The whole penultimate paragraph suggests that Chopin is writing in a very ironic mode:
As for Clarisse, she was charmed upon receiving her husband's letter. She and the babies were doing well. The society was agreeable; many of her old friends and acquaintances were at the bay. And the first free breath since her marriage seemed to restore the pleasant liberty of her maiden days. Devoted as she was to her husband, their intimate conjugal life was something which she was more than willing to forego for a while.
You are correct in suggesting that the plot structure of the story is essential. But the climax of the story is really only important as it allows for the denouement, the resolution of the conflict. Chopin summarizes this so very well in the story's very last line: "So the storm passed and every one was happy."
In my mind, that last line would be a great title for such an essay.
How about this one?
"Kate Chopin uses the torrid affair between Calixta and Alcee to illustrate her belief that passionate love is not synonymous with marriage."

Ok, theres basically two problems here. One is the depth of the speaker, one is the diameter of the speaker.
As far as depth, without doing ANYTHING to the panel, you can usually fit up to 2.5 inch deep speaker max. As far as diameter, without doing anything, up to a 6.25 inch speaker will fit (this is the factory size). I installed 6.25 inch CDT components in my doors previously as was able to make the diameter fit, however I had to hole saw the metal in the door behind it to get a slight bit of extra clearance for the magnet.
Now, you've said you want it looking stock as possible, well even with hole sawing the door, and grinding down small bits of the backside of the door panel to get extra fitment, no one will be able to tell your doors have been modified when sitting in the car. It will still all look totally stock, so your if your concerned only about it looking stock then you are safe to do a little bit of door modding. Get the speakers you really want and make them work...you will be much happier with the result.

2 Responses to Jason Bay: Over/Under 10 Home Runs This Year?
Unless he straightens out his swing in the minors under 10
I haven't done any formal research on this – and I hate to question athletes and the legitimacy of their stats – but is it fair to question Bay's past as performance enhanced? I understand he's had some injury issues – but to only produce 9 HRs in 160 games over the course of two seasons is not just under performing – it's a complete outlier. The guy averaged just over 30 HRs a year in around 149 games per season the previous 6 campaigns before coming to the Citi. I get that the Citi isn't as HR-friendly as Fenway – but that's a dramatic decline for a guy only turning 32 this season.

Shadow Treasurer
The Coalition attack sought to undercut the federal government's credibility on its controversial mining tax policy, dominating question time as the Treasurer faced four questions in a row on the matter.
The tactic drew an acknowledgement from Mr Swan that he received advice that the royalties "would be in the budget".
But Mr Swan hit back by claiming the WA Premier
The debate centred on a letter from WA under-treasurer
The letter also showed that state officials were aware that the Commonwealth Grants Commission might respond to the royalty increase by cutting the amount of GST revenue allocated to WA in the future.
Mr Barnett's decision to increase royalties last Thursday has sparked a vigorous political fight between his Coalition state government and the federal Labor government.
The Gillard government would lose about $1.9 billion in revenue over four years under the state plan and accompanying revenue forecasts, because Canberra must reimburse companies for their royalty payments under the proposed federal mining tax.
Mr Hockey questioned why Mr Swan had claimed on ABC Radio last Friday that he had not been warned about the WA royalty increases when the Treasurer's chief of staff had been told of the royalty increase by Mr Barnett's chief of staff last Wednesday.
Mr Swan acknowledged that he had received advice that the royalty increase would be in the state budget.
"We were informed at the last minute," Mr Swan said. But he said there was no consultation.
"We were not given any time to consider, we were not given any time to respond."
Mr Swan said the WA Premier had complained last year that the mining industry was suffering from taxes that were too high, yet had gone ahead in the state budget to increase taxes on the sector.
And the Treasurer said that the correspondence showed that the WA government knew that its royalty increase would be undercut by the loss of GST revenue.
Stepping up the fight against the Barnett government, Mr Swan said the state budget was wrong to assume a fall in the exchange rate to about 76¢ when the federal budget forecast an exchange rate of $1.07.
"He has brought down a budget based on dodgy figures," Mr Swan said.
"His revenue estimates are out, over the forward estimates, by hundreds of millions of dollars."

Today the CQC released their 2011/12 report on the Mental Health Act. I've written a story on some of the key findings for social workers here but this comprehensive report has triggered wider debate.
I should say that the CQC – an organisation that has endured a lot of criticism in recent years (often with good reason and we shouldn't forget that questions have been asked over the way its previous leaders have treated people with experience of mental health issues) - deserves, in my view anyway, credit for this piece of work.
The report is detailed but readable and crammed full of rich evidence from people with experience of services and frontline professionals. It has also been produced in accessible formats and as an infographic. The more public bodies produce this type of report on complex issues, the better.
Another move by the regulator that deserves credit is that they have taken to Twitter today to encourage debate of the report's findings. It's a really positive move given that many social care leaders, or their employing organisations, shy away from engaging on Twitter.
Here are some of the top Tweets I picked up from today's discussion of the report (I wish I'd been able to participate myself but was sidelined this morning)…

A vast percentage of the American electorate has become largely satisfied with the notion that the federal government will take care of them and solve their problems.

Consequently, senators and representatives spend a large majority of their time with their ear to the ground making sure they can do one thing.

What we're voting for today is the hope that who we place in office will not further degrade the already terrible and probably irreversible decline of the United States of America.

He focussed on her face, uncertain why such coercion was necessary, noting the serene aspect of someone who had come through the test of a lifetime, a glow of innocence yet authority from a person few in the room could finally know.(The length of Sillitoe's sentences, it's not always certain you will find an eighth one on any given page!)
After the first surprise she liked what she saw, as if part of getting back into a world which little resembled what she had known before, which she had inhabited for as long as many people in the room had lived, to go by stones near George's grave, of those who had been born and had died in the time spent caring for him."

We are a team of Ghost Investigators in the Mosinee and Wausau Area that investigate all over the state in search of Ghosts or Paranormal Activity. We investigate homes and business or other buildings that you feel may be haunted or experience paranormal activity free of charge. We have investigated a few cemeteries and that is where we train our new members before we have them join us on an investigation. We have had encounters in two cemeteries, one of which is the notoriously haunted Lawrence Cemetery in DePere, and one in Northern Wisconsin on Hwy B just South of Land O' Lakes. We have a picture of what we encountered at the Hwy B Cemetery on this web site. It was not visible to us when we took the photo with a digital camera. We will add photos of interest when we take them and rest assured, we do not tamper or alter our photos. We do not believe in trying to fool our interested readers, researchers or other ghost hunters. We take ourselves very seriously and try to debunk anything before we post it on this web site.
We have been asked by many clients already in the past two years or so to help them out by doing an investigation in their home or business. Our clients want and need verification if what they are experiencing is truly paranormal or if they just think they are hearing or seeing things. We go in to try and debunk as many of their claims as possible and then take back the evidence to show them what we have found if anything. Our clients are very pleased with our results and appreciate the understanding and full service we offer to them. They know we are not there to make fun of them or ridicule but to help them get the answers they are looking for. We thank them all for the opportunity they have given us.

Skip to comments.Arizona Committee Members Need To Hear From You On Pro Rights Bills
Posted on 01/31/2012 6:53:18 AM PST by marktwain
Catalina, AZ --(Ammoland.com)- Your help is needed to get these pro-rights bills heard in committee. Letters have been prepared and are waiting to be sent by you at AzCDLs Action Center:
HB 2095: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60874501 . SB 1077: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60877501 .
Last week, two bills protecting your right to bear arms were scheduled for committee hearings but were held without being heard. Its time to shine some light on those committees and let them know these bills need to heard and voted on favorably.
HB 2095 was scheduled for a hearing in the House Government Committee on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, but was pulled from the list of bills scheduled for debate and vote. This AzCDL-requested legislation would limit the restrictions that a Home Owner Association (HOA) can place on firearms. A letter has been prepared and is waiting to be sent by you at AzCDLs Action Center: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60874501 .
In modern day Arizona, it is difficult to not live in a planned community controlled by an HOA. In the Phoenix area, there are HOA communities bigger than some towns. Unfortunately, the laudable idea of establishing residential standards to optimize property values has a dark side. Social engineering has crept into HOA governing documents. In the not too distant past, racial purity was required in home sales. Still imbedded in many governing documents are requirements that residents must be unarmed as a condition of living in the community.
HB 2095 was drafted to allow the residents of HOA governed communities the same constitutionally protected right to bear arms they enjoy once they leave the boundaries of their neighborhood. If you live in an HOA community, please mention it in the Editable Text area of your letter to the House Government Committee: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60874501 .
SB 1077 was scheduled for a hearing in the Senate National Resources and Transportation Committee on Monday, January 23, 2012, but was pulled from the list of bills scheduled for debate and vote. This bill would specifically exempt from the state lands trespass statute the lawful possession or discharge of a firearm while hunting, while target shooting, in self-defense or in defense of another. A letter has been prepared and is waiting to be sent by you at AzCDLs Action Center: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60877501 .
Somewhere over Arizonas history as a state, the concept that the people of Arizona have a vested interest in state land got lost. Laws created to regulate mining and grazing have morphed into regulations controlling ones mere presence on state land. It is now a misdemeanor to be on state land without government permission. SB 1077 specifically excludes the lawful possession and use of a firearm on state land. If you hunt or like to shoot on state owned land be sure to mention that in the Editable Text of your letter to the Senate National Resources and
Transportation Committee: http://capwiz.com/azcdl/issues/alert/?alertid=60877501 .

AzCDL was founded by a group of local activists who recognized that a sustained, coordinated, statewide effort was critical to protecting and expanding the rights of law-abiding gun owners. As a like-minded coalition of activists, the AzCDL founders were instrumental in the successful passage of the first major improvement to Arizonas CCW (concealed carry) laws since they were instituted in 1994.

At the NoHo Arts Center on August 15th, in an evening generously hosted by Kevin Bailey and James J. Mellon, a very special night of original music by Paris Carney (and special guests) played out, accompanied by the World Premiere of "Battles of You," her first music video, directed by "up and comer," Nick Borges!
The admission to the concert was only $10. For $20, guests were invited to a special reception and an autographed copy of the DVD "Battles of You" for $20.
Paris Carney was born in New York City, but raised on both the East and Left Coasts. Paris comes from a family of musicians and took a leave of absence from The New School in NYC to tour and record an album under the Interscope label with her big brothers' band, formerly Reeve Carney and The Revolving Band, now CARNEY, whose just-released single, "Love Me Chase Me," is in "New and Noteworthy" on iTunes. Her own songwriting skills eventually caused Paris to let the air out of the "oohs and ahhs" and front her own band. Now, with a guitar endorsement from Daisy Rock (whom she met at the last NAMM show), Paris can be heard all over Los Angeles either with her own band, singing jazz standards at Teddy's on a Thursday night, or singing and recording backup for various artists. Paris also fronts the band, Soul Puppet. She recently signed a licensing deal with DL Music. www.myspace.com/pariscarneymusic or www.myspace.com/soulpuppet.

Ed and Danielle: May God be with you and keep you at this time. Tifton is in the arms of Jesus. Please know that we love you and are praying for you.
My heart really goes out to the LeBlanc family for your lost. I know that this can be a very difficult time but we can but faith in the wonderful promises that the bible gives us. Death is an unnatural event that was pass on to us through on man Adam but through one man Jesus Christ there is hope for those whom we have lost in death. John5:28,29 says soon all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus) and come out so you see this is just temporary. The pain that is being felt now will soon be a thing of the past according to Rev 21:4 and the best promise of all is found at Is 25:8 were it says death will be swallowed up forever. I hope that through these scriptures you can find the strenght and the comfort that is need to pull through this time.
Please share your thoughts ...

The Baltimore Orioles have a lot of decisions to make this offseason in arbitration eligible players, free agents and holes in the team, but Executive VP/GM Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter have to decide on the future of Alexi Casilla with the team.
Casilla, who has a $3 million team option for 2014, was picked up off waivers from the Minnesota Twins in November of 2012, and is an interesting player for the Orioles. He can play both middle infield positions, and can come off the bench and steal a base for you. Even more interesting is his track record against certain high profile pitchers such as Justin Masterson and CC Sabathia, and not to mention he is a switch hitter and may be the best bunter on the team.
But the question posed this offseason is whether or not the team should pick up his $3 million team option. If the Orioles were to elect not to pick up the option, it would only cost them $200,000 to buy out the deal.
Casilla played in 62 games for the Orioles this season hitting .214 (125 plate appearances) with one home run (off Masterson), 10 RBI, and nine stolen bases with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage in 170 chances.
Not jump off the page numbers by any stretch of the imagination, especially when you compare them to essentially the same type of player for the Orioles in Ryan Flaherty who hit .224 (271 plate appearances) with 10 home runs, 27 RBI, and two stolen bases with a .994 fielding percentage committing just two errors in 333 chances.
To us at least, this seems like an easy decision for the Orioles. There is very little reason to pick up the $3 million option that Casilla has for 2014 because his numbers are easily replaceable and Ryan Flaherty can not only play both middle infield positions, but can play the corner infield positions as well as the corner outfield spots in a pinch.
It is no secret that Showalter is not the biggest proponent of stealing bases, which seems to be the biggest aspect of Casilla's game that he helps this team on. We will say that if Baltimore plans on starting Flaherty out in AAA in order to get him consistent at bats, then Casilla would be a little more valuable to this team, but even then there would be options out there to fill his role for much less money.
We know this team likes to save money whenever possible and not picking up Casilla's option seems like an easy way to do that with a player that is fairly easily replaceable.
What do you think? Should the Orioles pick up Casilla's option? Let your voice be heard by posting a comment!

Tomás Urayoán Noel
Assistant Professor
Ph.D., New York University, 2008
U.S. Latino/a Literatures and Cultures, Poetry and Poetics of the Americas, Cultural Studies, Performance Studies, Translation, Creative Writing
Professor Noel joined the faculty at the University at Albany in 2008. His areas of research include Latino/a Literatures and Cultures, poetics of the Americas, and (U.S.) American poetry since 1950, with an emphasis on questions of performance, translation, circulation, and the relationship between aesthetics and politics. He is at work on a book-length study that traces the history of Nuyorican poetry, from its origins in New York's Puerto Rican communities and its complex relationship to the Lower East Side poetry scene of the 1960s and 1970s, to its latter-day resignification as part of an emerging Latino canon and its global hypervisibility in the wake of the commercial success of Nuyorican slam. This project considers how Nuyorican poetics (beyond discrete literary canons, archives, and national imaginaries) both assumes and works towards a non-monolingual, non-pagebound poetry community, attuned to new modes of (counter)cultural belonging.
His creative work includes books of poetry, text-sound and performance, and translations of Latin/o American poets.

text: So I am looking at Horizontal engines in the 12-13hp range to replace a bad one. Looking online and small engine warehouses I have narrowed it by dimensions that I need (overall size, crank diameter and length). Looking for at recoil engines, all with fuel tanks and mufflers. The Honda is significantly cheaper. My experience and what I have always heard is that they are a much better engine. Comparing to Kohler and Briggs is there a reason they are much less? I am talking under $600 for the Honda 13hp and almost $800 for a Briggs equivalant. I have a Honda on one of my Blowers and its been great. Any reason not to go with Honda?

Flip A Trillion - Poem by Ima Ryma
The U.S. Treasury can mint
A coin made of some platinum,
Take it to the Fed and present
It for a trillion dollars - dumb!
Not in the Oz land of D.C.
Where politicians play the game
With any new toy that there be
To buy more time and have no shame.
Santa Claus should be on the head,
But a blank nothing on the tail.
When all these games are done and said,
We'll end in go out of biz sale.
We are the coins that D.C. toss.
Odds are we're landing for a loss.

Caught in the grip of the Depression, one-time boxing contender Jim Braddock (Crowe) is forced to support his family wife Mae (Zellweger) plus kids by working in a dockyard. When his former manager, Joe Gould (Giamatti), gets him a lucrative break as
It would be easy to write off Cinderella Man sight-unseen. Co-written by Akiva Goldsman (still wanted for crimes against screenwriting in more than 40 states following Batman & Robin and Lost In Space) for genial journeyman Ron Howard, this tale of an underdog who triumphs over adversity is, on paper, noble, worthy, dull awards-season fodder. But, like Howard's Apollo 13, this pugilistic powerhouse is a beautifully modulated showcase for the director's ability to take a yarn where the outcome is a given and spin the inevitable into dramatic gold. It's a neat, enviable trick, delivered with gravitas, danger and an emotional uplift long overdue after the darkness of summer.The real-life Braddock's rise (the film opens with the boxer in punishing form), fall (the Braddock family battling poverty after the Wall Street Crash) and slow climb back to the top seemingly invented The Boxing Movie Cliché Handbook — from pressure on Braddock to throw a fight to the Raging Bull Flashbulb And Body-Punch Combo™, it's all here — but Howard's artistry pulls you through. This is confident craftsmanship, peaking in the last-reel showdown between Braddock and human bear Max Baer (Craig Bierko); Howard knows that, by this time, he's won your investment, and has the assurance to play out the final bout at brutal, compelling length.Allied to the filmmaking know-how is Howard's unstinting commitment to the values of his hero and the story's emotional truth. When Braddock gives back the welfare handout after he picks up a huge fight purse, or forces his son to return a stolen salami, Howard — who, don't forget, played that apex of dignity, Richie Cunningham — understands these values intuitively. He doesn't know how to be flippant, ironic or over-sentimental about such ideals — just genuine.
Where the director is less successful is in trying to graft a fairy-tale patina onto the grim reality of Depression-era America, washing what should be down and dirty in nostalgic, fable-esque hues. Elsewhere, the plotting loses sight of Paddy Considine's down-at-heel stockbroker, who befriends Braddock on the docks before transforming into a bitter political activist. More successfully, Howard manages to evoke the mood in telling period detail — Mae (good work from Zellweger in a tricky supporting role) and kids stealing the wood from an Esso sign after their electricity has been cut off; Gould's once opulent apartment a hollow shell, emptied of all the trappings of wealth.Yet what really lifts Cinderella Man head and shoulders above genre convention is the one-two combination of Crowe and Giamatti. The latter, as Braddock's corner man, allies his energetic scrappy-schlep likeability to raw, excitable emotions, nailing Gould in funny, moving, proud colours. But the film belongs to Crowe, still the best synthesis of movie star and actor working today. His restraint and sad reluctance turns Braddock from a too-good-to-be-true shining saint into an unshowy, introspective everyman. When Braddock is forced to go before the boxing bigwigs and beg for money to keep his family afloat, you can almost hear the applause of the Academy Awards audience as Crowe sits in his little splitscreen box. His scenes with Giamatti feel like a privilege to watch, and when they're together, Cinderella Man transforms from a good film into a great one.
It may not boast an original bone in its body, but Cinderella Man delivers old-fashioned entertainment. Particularly worth seeing for Crowe's towering turn. The Best Actor Oscar race starts now.

Prostate cancer test interpretation flawed
A computer programming error caused West Penn Allegheny Health System's laboratory to send physicians incorrect interpretations of prostate cancer tests for 288 patients over 15 months.
Hospital officials say physicians who ordered the tests were advised about the errors in recent weeks. They were sent revised, corrected interpretations, said Dr. Jan F. Silverman, chairman of the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
Silverman said actual test results were correct, and most physicians would rely on those and not interpretations. He said hospital officials found no evidence that incorrect test interpretations resulted in delayed or improper care.
The health system was following up with phone calls to physicians, who include primary care doctors and urologists, he said.
The erroneous interpretations were provided on a test physicians use to assess whether patients need biopsies of their prostates. The test provides a comparison of total prostate specific antigen, or PSA, versus free or non-attached PSA.
Dr. Ralph Miller, head of the Allegheny Prostate Cancer Center, said it was "theoretically possible, but very, very unlikely" that erroneous interpretations resulted in delayed or improper care.
Silverman said those interpretations were sent between Oct. 1, 2008 and January. Of 818 PSA tests the West Penn Allegheny Core Laboratory performed during that period, 412 included comparisons of the two PSA figures. Of those, 288 included incorrect interpretations of that ratio, Silverman said.
Miller said he does not use the comparison in his practice, although some urologists and primary care physicians do. He said some doctors find it useful for determining whether a higher than normal PSA reading warrants a biopsy to test for prostate cancer.
The comparison is one of several tests available to determine whether to perform a biopsy, Miller said. The PSA blood test and a digital exam are primary baseline tests to detect prostate cancer, he said.
The programming error was discovered recently when a physician questioned an interpretation, Silverman said.

Lannan Residency Program
With no expectation to be anywhere and no interruptions caused by the usual responsibilities in my everyday life, I was afforded the time, the space and the quiet to just think. The ability to think freely and fully was critical to my writing process and it has made my writing better. The other element for good writing, in my experience, is also about the connection to community and those who will debate, discuss, contest, and challenge your ideas in the spirit of making them better. This may have been the biggest surprise during my time in Marfa—the connection with a remarkable community of people…
— Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
I really thought the poem was finished before I arrived. But sitting on the porch of [the residency house] each and every morning and staring straight across at the Chihuahua Mountains for five days and five nights, listening to coyote, wolf and javelina, taught me that it was not finished. I needed the starlight and the moonlight and the Marfa light to show me what was missing. At the end of the first five days the poem was resubmitted with changes completely provided by the quality of an entirely different kind of concentration and focus delivered to me instantly upon arrival in Marfa.
— Nikky Finney
The Lannan Residency Fellowship provides uninterrupted writing time for poets, writers, essayists, translators, scholars, curators, as well as Native American, environmental and social justice activists. Residency durations are usually from four to six weeks.
Since the fall of 2000, more than 250 residency fellows have been housed in Lannan properties in Marfa, Texas, a small, beautiful, high desert ranching town in West Texas near the Chinati Mountains to the southwest and the Davis Mountains to the northeast. Marfa is also home to the internationally known Chinati Foundation, a contemporary art organization founded by the late sculptor, Donald Judd.
Candidates for the residency program are selected through an internal nomination process. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.

1. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobs549859 Mar 22, 2007 7:27 PM (in response to 568501)This is perhaps not the prettiest way either, but what I have done is to click on the "Create Like" button for the job in EM. Enter a new job name and then click on the "Show SQL" button. That gives you all of the code. I then cut and paste into text file and change all references to the new job name back to existing.
2. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobsRnr-Oracle Mar 22, 2007 9:00 PM (in response to 549859)The only other way I can think of is to use an internal routine which does this.
First select the object_id of the job by selecting from obj$ (where name='JOB_NAME') then use a procedure like
create or replace procedure export_job(oid number) as
tmpbuf varchar2(4000) := 'NULL';
dummy varchar2(10);
while tmpbuf is not null loop
tmpbuf := dbms_sched_job_export.create_exp(oid, '', dummy);
end loop;
and do
exec export_job(12345)
where 12345 is the obj# selected from obj$
The only disadvantage of this is that job argument values will not be included in the output.
Hope this helps,
3. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobs568501 Mar 23, 2007 9:01 AM (in response to 568501)Hi
Thanks for your input ... I actually ended up managin to get the SQLFILE to contain user owned scheduler jobs, but SYS must be obfuscated in some way as I couldnt find them anywhere. I then had to use the 'Create Like' from OEM to get some other info for additional jobs.
Sheesh, you'd think it would be a bit easier than that!
4. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobsRnr-Oracle Mar 23, 2007 9:39 AM (in response to 568501)Reason for that is pretty simple. User-level objects in SYS (like tables, stored procedures, jobs etc) are simply not exported since SYS is intended only for system objects.
I agree that there should be a simpler way to do this though. It's probably a bug that dbms_metadata doesn't work on Scheduler jobs.
5. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobs990912 Feb 21, 2013 7:12 PM (in response to 568501)Last post on this is from 2007. I'm wondering if there have been any improvements since then, eg. in 11g. I'm still looking for documentation about dbms_sched_job_export.create_exp because I must be doing something wrong with it. I'm trying to call it for a known scheduler job in my system with an object ID of 315289, using this code (based on the code given earlier in this thread):
I get nothing back. No clue what I'm doing wrong...
declare v_dummy varchar2(10); v_buff varchar2(4000); begin v_buff := dbms_sched_job_export.create_exp(315289, '', v_dummy); dbms_output.put_line(v_buff); end;
6. Re: Extracting the DDL for scheduler jobs978204 Mar 11, 2013 10:01 PM (in response to 990912)You can get the DDL for a job like this:
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PROCOBJ', 'JOB_NAME', 'OWNER_NAME') from dual;
You can use this go gather the DDL for a number of the DBMS_SCHEDULER objects, including PROGRAMS and CHAINs [will include the CHAIN and the STEPS, butnot the RULES - these you must get from a *_scheduler_chain_rules VIEW]
