Weird getaways
Explore off-the-beaten-path oddities in Newport, RI; Philadelphia; and Charleston, SC.
Mutter Museum
Mummers Museum
Magic Gardens
By train: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (2 hours from NYC)
Do this
Part of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, the unforgettable and disturbing Mtter Museum(19 S 22nd St; 215-563-3737, collegeofphysicians.org; $14) has more than 20,000 anatomical and medical oddities on display, dating back to the 19th century—including a plaster cast of conjoined twins, a stretched-out colon more than eight feet long and the well-preserved Soap Lady, a woman whose body fat turned to a soaplike wax after burial. Following that, the Mummers Museum(1100 S 2nd St; 215-336-3050, mummersmuseum.com; $3.50) may seem almost tame in comparison—the institution showcases string music and extravagant costumes from the city's 10,000-strong annual New Year's parade. "Mummers are working people who, once a year, put on incredible outfits," explains the museum's executive director, Palma Lucas. "Some with hundreds of mirrors on them, sequins and headdresses."
Philly is filled with public art, but none is as exuberant as Philadelphia's Magic Gardens(1020 South St; 215-733-0390, philadelphiasmagicgardens.org; $4), a labyrinthine mosaic installation that artist Isaiah Zagar fashioned on a formerly vacant lot. The Gardens' winding tunnels and sculptures are covered in found objects like bicycle wheels, mirror shards and hand-painted tiles, glittering a half-block long. By the time you get through that, you'll have earned yourself a hearty meal at Carman's Country Kitchen(1301 S 11th St, 215-339-9613), which prides itself on putting "the cunt back in country." The four-item menu changes every day, and brunch is served daily—last week featured pancakes and waffles with bourbon banana sauce, and cracker-coated catfish (each $12). Munch while admiring the restaurant's considerable collection of phallic ornaments.
Stay here
Since everything else you set eyes on in Philly will be completely bizarre, rest your head at the convenient and elegant bed-and-breakfast La Reserve(1804 Pine St between 18th and 19th Sts; 215-735-1137, lareservebandb.com).
By plane: Charleston, South Carolina (2 hours from NYC)
Do this
Charleston is known for being picturesque, but quirky details abound. Poke your head into the Waring Library's Macaulay Museum of Dental History(175 Ashley Ave; 843-792-2288, waring.library.musc.edu) to see curiosities such as a re-creation of a 1905 dentist's office, plus some frightening dental instruments. The 153-acre Magnolia Cemetery(70 Cunnington St, 843-722-8638), located on the mossy banks of the Cooper River four miles outside the center of town, dates to before the Civil War. Situated among the 33,000 graves of politicians, bootleggers and madams is a pyramid mausoleum and a baby-carriage-shaped tombstone. "One tombstone just says BE CAREFUL," notes superintendent Beverly Donald. Considering that alligators and hawks roam the property, that's advice worth heeding. The trek to Charleston's barrier isle Johns Island is worth it, if only to take in the sight of the thick, twisted limbs of the approximately 400-year-old Angel Oak Tree(Angel Oak Park, 3688 Angel Oak Rd; 843-559-3496). "Large trees are a real gathering place in the South," says park manager Mary Richardson. "They're a part of our lives." Good restaurants are also gathering spots. For classic local flavor, order a bottomless plate of steamed fresh oysters ($23.50) at Bowens Island Restaurant(1870 Bowens Island Rd; 843-795-2757, bowensislandrestaurant.com), where you'll sit on mismatched furniture and gape at the graffiti all over the walls.
Stay here
The rocking chairs on the porch of the charming Notso Hostel(156 Spring St; 843-722-8383, notsohostel.com) make for a welcoming view after a day full of strange sights.
By car: Newport, Rhode Island (3 hours from NYC)
Do this
Newport isn't just about enormous old mansions and preppy people piloting yachts—it's about the strange details that make New England weird and wonderful. Prepare to experience the oddities by grabbing a coconut mojito served with edible baby coconuts ($8) at Salvation Cafe(140 Broadway; 401-847-2620, salvationcafe.com). "I bought almost all of the decor at the Salvation Army next door," says owner Susan LaMond of the space, which resembles a cross between a thrift store and a retro diner, and features two indoor and two outdoor rooms—one of which is a tiki bar that's now open for the season. Take a picture in front of the huge Gulf sign hanging on one of the walls before hitting Touro Park(Mill St off Bellevue Ave) to visit the mysterious Newport Tower. Nobody knows exactly who built it, or when: Some residents have advanced the theory that the round stone-and-mortar structure was fashioned by the Vikings; others think that it was a colonial windmill. Consider its possible origins on a detour drive to nearby Portsmouth, where you can wander among the grave sites of privileged pooches at the K9 Instincts Kennel pet cemetery(837 Wapping Rd, 401-847-1655). Keep an eye out for Pookie's headstone: He belonged to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
Stay here
The Rose Island Lighthouse(401-847-4242, roseisland.org; from $165) sits on an island in Narragansett Bay, and it offers simple rooms to adventurous travelers. You'll need to pump water to flush the toilets, but you'll have this entire island to yourself after the lighthouse's museum closes at 4pm. "It's silent, and there are no bugs," says executive director David McCurdy. "It's a real escape from the city: no stereo or TV. People have a blast, just sitting on Adirondack chairs, drinking wine, and watching the boats sail by."
Cantina Taqueria & Tequila Bar
Though Cantina opened as a simple neighborhood bar that just so happened to sell tacos, it soon expanded to offer everything from nachos to rice bowls to burritos. Start with a classic frozen margarita ($10.95) or Corona ($4.95) and a dip sampler of queso, guacamole and three house salsas ($11.95). Then, choose from the extensive menu of Mexican favorites, like a chili-lime chicken rice bowl ($12.95), a pulled pork and pineapple burrito ($12.95) or three of the many varieties of tacos made with fresh corn tortillas (all $15.95). In addition to the pulled pork and chicken, there's also brisket, grilled steak, baja fish and sriracha shrimp. Snack on a side of elotes, or Mexican street corn with crema and cotija cheese, or sweet plantains (both $4.95). Deal seekers might want to stop by for their happy hour from 3 to 7pm on weekdays to score $5 guacamole, $6 margaritas and $2.95 tacos.
Venue says: "Bottomless Brunch is back! Add it for $12.95 for 60 mins. It's a Harlem Thing -Mimosas, Margarita and Sangria."

Weather Alert Radio recommended
The potential for severe weather into the night is a reminder for everyone to stay alert for threatening conditions, especially once you retire for the evening. And one way is to be equipped with a Weather Alert Radio which can rouse you from sleep in the event of imminent danger. Jimmy Watt, spokesman for the Oconee Sheriff's Department, talked about the advantages of weather alert radio during Kris Butts' morning show today. 96.3/WGOG forecasts showers and thunderstorms, some severe, into the night time hours. There's the possibility for hail and as much as two inches of rain.

At least 11 people have been killed in the Egyptian capital's Tahrir Square as security forces disperse protesters demanding that the army cede power to civilians.
At least four have been shot dead, an AFP correspondent says.
Earlier Dr Mohammed Fatuh, who heads a field hospital in the square, confirmed to AFP that three more bodies had been brought in bearing bullet wounds.
Medics earlier reported four deaths, one from live fire and three from asphyxiation after tear gas was fired.
The deadly unrest comes around a week before the first legislative elections since a popular uprising ousted veteran autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak in February.
Egyptian police and military forces have been using batons, tear gas and birdshot to clear central Cairo's Tahrir Square of thousands of protesters.
Heavy clashes pitted the demonstrators against riot and military police who chased them away from entrances to the square and blocked the road leading to the interior ministry, the scene of clashes throughout Sunday.
The security forces later withdrew from the square but the situation remained tense.
It was the second day of violence in the square – the symbolic heart of protests that toppled president Hosni Mubarak in February – following a peaceful anti-military rally on Friday.
Protesters want Egypt's ruling military council that took over when Mubarak was ousted to cede power to a civilian authority.

The Very Unsafe Book for Boys, Vol. 3: Boxing is a book in Fable III written by Konan Wiggledung.
Fast travel to Finkelhouse Farm, the the first cabin in the small circle of homes found near the centre of the Silverpines forest. Walk to your right, around the cabin, and find the book on top of the nearby crates.
Konan Wiggledung
Boxing is a wonderful activity for boys. The first thing you'll need, besides a mate willing to let you hit him, is a pair of boxing gloves. These can be purchased from a leather craftsman or stolen out of the locker of a boy you don't like. The idea behind boxing gloves is twofold: to protect the boxer's hands, and to minimise injury to the opponent. At least, that's what you should tell your mum when you ask her to buy them for you -- she'll think you sound very mature. Be sure to use that word 'twofold', as well; that will really impress her. Anyway, the real point of boxing gloves is they allow you to hide large, heavy metal weights which will really knock your opponent's lights out. That'll teach him.

Dir/scr: Ralph Ziman. South Africa. 2008. 118mins.The third feature of Ralph Ziman, the new South African action movie Jerusalema is reportedly drawn from actual events. More accurately it is inspired from the watching of a lot of movies, combining and cannily poaching parts of the original Scarface, Superfly, GoodFellas, New Jack City and American Gangster. It's well made and engagingly played, but it is finally much too derivative and cartoonish ...

— It symbolises wealth accumulated during those prosperous years mentioned above. The same is the interpretation if the skin,
, droppings or any other filth of the stomach is seen. But whether such wealth is lawful or unlawful will depend on the odour of the

Video: Neil Young Introduces PonoMusic to Bruce Springsteen, Jack White and More
"Well I got my drug of choice," said Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder after experiencing PonoMusic for the first time. It appears as if Neil Young's PonoMusic is certainly gaining high praise, as the Kickstarter that originally aimed to earn $800,000 in 35 days amassed over $1 million in the first day.
The likes of Jack White, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews and many more rock, pop and hip hop legends delivered their thoughts after jumping into Neil Young's pearly white Cadillac to get a taste of Pono. Judging from Elton John's comments, it seems as if Neil played some Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin for each artists, showcasing the wide range of sounds Pono is capable of harnessing and improving.

UNC students show off artwork at First Friday art event
April 10, 2013
Graduating students from the art education program at the University of Northern Colorado will exhibit their work Friday at the Bean Plant Studio, 701 7th St.
The event is part of the monthly First Friday art show that features showings at 16 downtown Greeley locations. The exhibition is titled "Moving On."

Bethards said that visitors could expect a variety of different media-like paintings, ceramics, photographs, needlework and fiber sculptures. The exhibition will feature artwork from 14 students.
Owner Susan Smallwood Herold said she was happy to volunteer her studio so that students could show off their art. Herold opens the place where she works only as part of the First Friday series.
First Friday takes place every first Friday of the month. Events feature artwork, as well as music performances, art demonstrations, film screenings and crafts for sale. Refreshments are provided at some locations.

Hi everyone! I'm new to the Toledo, actually Sylvania Township, area (currently live in Ann Arbor but am in the process of buying a house and moving south!). I don't know too much about the hospitals or clinics in Toledo. I would assume they can all do the job, but I'd like to have a midwife. I know Toledo Hospital has midwives with their Center for Health - Women's Clinic, but I cannot find any information other that they exist. I'd love to have a midwife who's close to Sylvania and delivers at either Toledo Hospital or Flower Hospital. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hi I recently relocated to Sylvania and first time pregnant - I'm 7w 6d today. I haven't had a good luck finding ob/gyn yet. I called around many offices and there are some offices booked up to April for new pregnant patient. Some doesn't have in-house ultrasound. Some doctor only takes high risk patients so if I'm determined to be low risk, I'll be seen by residents. As a first time mom-to-be, I am so nervous and would like personal attention by a doctor.. Where do you ladies go for your ob/gyn care around here? Any recommendations?!

ey everyone. I'm a first time mom and 26 weeks pregnant. I went to tell dr yesterday for a routine visit/ultrasound and found my cervix to be thinned out. She sent me to tell hospital where they eventually admitted me to stop contractions and dialiation and also to give me a round of steroids injections to get his lungs more developed. I'm really scared and nervous and I wasn't expecting this. I've been having massive back pain since sunday and didn't think to much into it. Just thought I did something at work. Has anyone been in this situation before? Also my cervix is only 1/2 cm thick and should be 2 cm. Trying to stay positive he will stay in full term.

A busy downtown street reopened early Thursday after an accident involving a car and a train blocked the roadway for nearly two hours.
The accident happened after 3 a.m. near the railroad crossing at Washington Street, which is located between Orange Avenue and Garland Avenue.
Video from the accident scene showed a dark-colored two-door coupe parked on the tracks directly in front of a CSX locomotive. Police said the cause of the accident is under investigation.
Damage to both the train and car appeared to be minor. No injuries were reported.
The driver of the car was given a field sobriety test shortly after the crash and was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

The Boston Red Sox have fired pitching coach Bob McClure, the team announced. Assistant pitching coach Randy Niemann will serve in that job for what's left of the season.
GM Ben Cherington asserted the decision to relieve McClure of his commitments for the remainder of the season was solely "performance based" and had nothing to do with McClure's relationship with manager Bobby Valentine, which reportedly was strained.
"This is a performance-based decision," Cherington said. "As I said (in New York on Sunday), and I think Bobby has asserted, there's been a really good effort on the part of the staff to work together and iron out any communication concerns that existed previously and this decision had nothing to do with that. We just felt we needed to make a change to put our pitchers in the best position to do what they needed to do in the following 6 weeks.
"We feel the next 6 weeks are important regardless of what our record is. Anything we want to achieve in the following 6 weeks is to provide and create a foundation going into the offseason. We felt this change was required to have the best opportunity to do that."
The Boston Red Sox rank 11th in the AL in ERA at 4.31; their starters' ERA is a combined 4.82.
Niemann will be the Red Sox's 4th pitching coach since 2010, following John Farrell, Curt Young and McClure.
The Red Sox originally employed McClure as a special assistant for the organization last Nov, before Valentine was named manager, but 4 weeks later McClure was named pitching coach. He had spent the previous 6 seasons as the pitching coach for the Kansas City Royals.
Cherington asserted McClure would not stay in the Red Sox organization. Baseball spreads
"We've relieved him from his obligations and he's not working for the Red Sox," Cherington expounded. "We have great respect for Bob; he's a quality guy and a good coach. It just failed to work out as we had hoped and when it does not work out, we must look at ourselves first and ask what, if anything, we will do to make it work better, so we'll do that. The fact that it wasn't working out, we felt like we wished to try a change and the right thing to do was to get a fresh start, and Bob will get a new start and we expect him to get a chance somewhere else."
Niemann, also in his 1st year with the Red Sox, was Valentine's lone hire for his coaching staff during the offseason. Niemann also served under Valentine while he was manager of the N.Y Mets.
"Randy's got a lot of experience," Cherington expounded. "He knows our guys well. He's been involved with our pitching staff pretty closely since spring training and there won't be a learning curve, that's for sure. He's done most jobs in the game, and clearly was a top pitcher himself, and has a long training career. He has got a lot of experience and we feel like to he can be part of the solution to making sure we get lots of good work done from the pitchers for the rest of the season."

London (UPI) Jul 22, 2013
Heat absorbed by the deep oceans has brought a slowing of global warming in the last five years, U.K. scientists say, but the long-term trend is still upward.
Oceans absorb large amounts of the Earth's heat, a phenomenon that goes on over long periods as heat from the ocean surface is gradually circulated to the seas' deeper regions, they said.
Global temperatures have remained largely static over the past five years, giving ammunition to climate change skeptics, but scientists said the evidence still clearly points to ongoing global warming in the coming decades as greenhouse gases in the atmosphere build up, The Guardian reported Monday.
Computer climate models show periods of slower warming were to be expected as part of the natural variation of the climate cycle and did not contradict predictions of ongoing global warming, Peter Stott of Britain's Met Office said.
Despite the current slowdown, average temperatures are expected to reach more than 3 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels by 2060, they said.
The current slowing of that warming would only delay reaching that point by five to 10 years, climate researcher Rowan Sutton at the National Center for Atmospheric Research at Reading University said.

Andrew Breitbart doesn't read too good
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Either that, or he just makes stuff up. It's a pick `em, really.
From his appearance last night on Sean Hannity's always comical Great American Panel, Breitbart insisted it's crazy to think there's any racial animosity running through the Obama-hating Tea Party movement. There's no proof it exists, and Dems are making it up. It's an illusion, as Doug Henning used to say.
Keep in mind Breitbart is a congenital liar, and that last summer he attacked Nancy Pelosi for claiming people showed up at Tea Party events with Nazi images and swastika posters. It never happened, Breitbart bellowed. (How'd that one work out for you, Andrew?) That's what he does: He defends the right-wing hate and seals the information bubble so the haters can feel good about their increasingly unhinged Obama attacks.
So to recap, according to Breitbart there's no proof--no evidence--of anything racial going on in the endless, hysterical attacks on Obama.
Except that, of course, there is [emphasis added]:
"Congressman Stupak, you baby-killing mother f***er... I hope you bleed out your a**, got cancer and die, you mother f***er," one man says in a message to Stupak.
"There are millions of people across the country who wish you ill," a woman says in a voicemail, "and all of those thoughts that are projected on you will materialize into something that's not very good for you."
CBS News also obtained copies of faxes sent to Stupak, which include racial epithets used in reference to President Obama and show pictures of nooses with Stupak's name.
UPDATED: Breitbart was also on Fox News last night clinging to the idea that today's anti-government movement is entirely peaceful. Like I said, Breitbart doesn't read too good.

Washington, DC—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada released the following statement on today's vote in the House of Representatives to express the opposition of Congress to the President's plan to escalate the war in Iraq. "The House of Representatives has taken an important step forward by passing a bipartisan resolution in support of America's troops in Iraq and in opposition to President Bush's plan to escalate the war. Its members have now fulfilled their basic responsibility to the American people and recorded for history whether they support or oppose the President's plan. "The war in Iraq is the most important issue facing this country today, putting our national security, our strategic interests, and the lives of our finest men and women in uniform at risk. The American people deserve to know where every member of Congress stands on the President's escalation plan. This is a responsibility that transcends politics. "Tomorrow, Senators will have another opportunity to express their view on the war in Iraq. Americans deserve to know whether their Senator stands with the President and his plan to deepen our military commitment in Iraq, or with the overwhelming majority of Americans who oppose this escalation. Let us be clear: anyone voting 'no' tomorrow is voting to give the President a green light to escalate the war."

This year's Harvest Moon occurs on Monday, Sept. 12. The date is determined by the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox, which occurs on Sept. 23. At this time of the year, the moon's path across the sky makes a rather shallow angle with the horizon, meaning that successive moonrises occur rather close to one another when the sky has yet to fully darken.
For instance, Monday's full moon is set to rise at 6:56 p.m., followed by a moonrise at 7:25 p.m. on Tuesday (29 minutes later) and at 7:56 p.m. on Wednesday (31 minutes later than Tuesday).
In earlier times, the extra light in the early evening hours helped farmer's bring in the harvest. And a lot of good eating is to be had at this time of the year from the backyard gardens of local residents.
When I was growing up, my father, who was born on a farm in rural Arkansas (where there was no electricity), made sure he planted a garden each year despite our urban setting. It followed a family tradition. My grandfather also lived on a farm, as did his father, grandfather and great-grandfather, who was born in middle Tennessee in 1811.
Tomatoes and peppers seem to be the easiest plants to grow in limited spaces due to the proximity of city dwellings. With my family being from the South, okra also was a prized garden favorite.
For those with larger plots of land, diversity reigns, it seems.
Thus was my recent introduction to homegrown zucchini and eggplant, which I had only eaten before in Italian restaurants.
The produce came courtesy of someone who has had a lot of time to perfect his gardening skills: 98-year-old Chula Vistan Norbert Stein.
Stein recently decided to "go green" and did it, of course, in the actual sense. He laid down green carpeting over his entire backyard. He estimates he spent $3,000 to install the artificial covering. It's a rather unique idea, holds up well in our Southern California weather and obviously works for someone who cannot actively perform manual labor tasks at his age.
There's not a blade of grass peeking out anywhere.
Talk about weed management!
Altogether, Stein has grapefruit, mango, guava, fig, peach, plum, lemon, avocado and apricot trees planted on his property on Fifth Avenue, as well as a grapevine. The far corner (non-carpeted) plot is chock full with a variety of vegetables: zucchini, eggplant, chili peppers, tomatoes and cucumber, among others.
A discarded store mannequin serves as a scarecrow to watch over things. "Fry up the zucchini and eggplant, they go well with scrambled eggs," he said.
I took the advice but altered the recipe more to my taste. I sliced the zucchini and eggplant and stir-fried them in a dash of olive oil along with yellow and red bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic and onions. I added some freshly ground peppercorns.
My reviews of Italian restaurants have only served to improve my own culinary skills. I was surprised by how easy to prepare and tasty the dish was, and look forward to planting a herb garden, at least, in the near future.
In honor of my introduction to homegrown zucchini and eggplant, I've dubbed my new favorite dish "vegetable medley a la Norbert."
Happy harvesting!

This study provides a general framework to analyze the effects on correlation radiometers of a generic quantization scheme and sampling process. It reviews, unifies and expands several previous works that focused on these effects separately. In addition, it provides a general theoretical background that allows analyzing any digitization scheme including any number of quantization levels, irregular quantization steps, gain compression, clipping, jitter and skew effects of the sampling period.
Microwave radiometry is today a mature technology that was first used in radio-astronomy in the 1930s [
Digitization effects can be separated into quantization and sampling effects. Mainly, the effects related with the quantization of the input signal (thermal noise) imply the loss of its statistical properties due to the non-linear quantization process. Consequently, it is not possible to apply the well-known Gaussian statistical relationships to the quantified signal. This effect has a large impact when limited quantization levels are considered, and it can be mitigated by increasing the number of quantization levels. Non-linear effects studies on Gaussian signals started with the early analysis of the spectrum of clipped noise by Van Vleck and Middleton [
Sampling has an impact on the correlation of the two input signals by creating spectral replicas. Additional noise can be added to the mean correlation value due to spectra replication depending on the ratio between the sampling frequency and the signal's bandwidth. Moreover, the sampling period and its inaccuracies (skew and jitter in the sampling periods) of the Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) can affect and distort the sampled signal and so the cross-correlation value.
To compare different sampling and quantization schemes an equivalent integration time is defined as the one required to obtain the same resolution as in the ideal (analog) correlation. Hagen and Farley [
More recent works have extended the initial digital radiometer proposed by Weinreb in 1961 [
This work provides a general context to analyze the digitization effects on the cross-correlation of two Gaussian random signals in the most general case including any number of quantization levels, irregular quantization steps, gain compression, clipping, bandwidth, sampling frequency, and the skew and jitter inaccuracies of the sampling periods.
In Section 2 a general analysis of the correlation over non-linear functions applied to Gaussian noise is given. In Section 3 quantization effects are analyzed as a particular case of the results of the previous section. Section 4 analyses the sampling process. Section 5 evaluates the correlation variance due to the digitization. Finally, Section 6 presents the main conclusions of this study.
The input signal of a microwave radiometer comes from natural thermal emission. Let us consider here two independent Gaussian random processes with a certain cross-correlation coefficient characterized by their probability density function (pdf). Furthermore, both input signals are assumed to be statistically identical and stationary, so the properties of the signals at a given time (T0) are independent of T0. Furthermore, both signals fulfill that their statistical properties can be deduced from a single, sufficiently long sample of the process (realization), σ

The effect of the quantization in the cross-correlation spectrum is to decrease and distort it in the pass-band and spread it over the rejected band.
In this section, it has been shown that the quantization can be successfully expressed and analyzed as a non-linear transformation. Despite the quantization can affect significantly the value of the cross-correlation, it is possible to recover the ideal correlation using the inverse function
The main effect of sampling is that it creates replicas of the spectrum. Usually, in a standard digital radiometer topology there is an anti-aliasing filter before the digitization process. Even in this case, the digitization can introduce aliasing due to the spread of the quantized spectrum, which depends on the sampling frequency (
Moreover, the SNR term is related with the radiometric resolution [
If the sampling frequency increases, then the first replicas (
For the exactly Nyquist sampling rate the fringe-washing function is still sharp and wide. For a higher sampling rate (
In the conversion from analog to digital signals, the sampling frequency is normally assumed to be constant. Nevertheless, the sampling clock is prone to interferences, thermal drifts and other effects that can change the oscillating frequency and introduce sampling inaccuracies.

The impact of a general quantization scheme has been expressed and analyzed as a non-linear transformation. Despite the quantization can significantly affect the value of the ideal cross-correlation (
Sampling also has an impact in the spectrum of the cross-correlation function, and depending on the sampling rate, replicas of the spectrum can overlap the main spectrum. This can be due to a sampling rate below the Nyquist criterion or, even above the Nyquist criterion, due to the non-linear quantization process which spreads the spectrum. In both cases, there is an impact on the SNR, and so on the radiometric resolution. Other sampling effects have been analyzed such as the clock inaccuracies: skew and jitter.
Finally, the impact of quantization and sampling on the variance of the measurements has been studied. It has been found that it strongly depends on the relationship between the bandwidth of the cross-correlation and the sampling rate. As the sampling rate increases, the successive samples are more correlated, so they add less new information to the measurements and the variance decreases slowly.

Travelers should expect snow and ice covered roads as they travel over mountain passes. People who are unprepared for mountain travel can jeopardize their safety and the safety of others on the road. Here are some reminders to ensure everyone gets to where they are going safely:
Consider transit: Visit Mt Hood Express to learn about park and rides and schedules.
Dress for the weather: Dress in warm layers and limit exposed skin.
Drive for the conditions of the road: Adjust your speed to the road conditions.
Use chains and traction tires: When chains are required, use the next chain up area to put on your tire chains. Continuing to drive in the snowy conditions hoping the road will improve is not a safe idea. Neither is stopping in the middle of the highway to put on tire chains.
Chain up areas and highway shoulders are not playgrounds: Use designated parking areas and never use chain up areas or highway shoulders as a place to play in the snow.
Don't park your vehicle along the highway: Parking in highway shoulders prevents plowing activities, limits access for emergency responders and creates a safety hazard. for other road users. Abandoned or parked vehicles along the highway will be towed.
Consider your travel time: Mountain passes see the highest number of vehicles during the winter break and on weekends.
Know Before You Go: Visit TripCheck or calling 511. Here is a video about how TripCheck can help you.
For more information about winter travel: ODOT Winter Driving
If you're driving your own vehicle to Timberline, remember that Sno-Park Permits are required for all state-maintained parking areas in recreational areas November 1 – April 30. The funds raised by these sales supplement the snow removal budgets for these areas. All Timberline parking is maintained by the state, and therefore requires Sno-Park Permits. They are available for 1 day, 3 days, and for a full season.
Day visitors during the winter season can purchase Sno-Park Permits at any open ticket window or inside the Wy'East Day Lodge at the Guest Services Desk. They are also available at many local businesses on the way to the mountain.
Winter Driving And Parking Tips
If it's a snowy day, flip your windshield wipers up before coming into the lodge. This will help make it easier to scrape/wipe off your windshield when you return to your car at the end of the day.
For safe driving, we recommend that you have proper tires on your car for the season in which you are traveling. For information on winter traction devices, chain laws, and road closures, please consult the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Jamaican Jerk Curry
There are few things as challenging as a food blogger as having to cook a cuisine for a challenge that you have no familiarity with. While I'm familiar with Jamaica, the bits I know are from books and movies – which is something I need to correct. In looking for recipes I noted a fondness for peanuts and pork, two things that aren't exactly welcome in my house. However I kept looking and googling for common ingredients, and with that decided to take the base of a few Jerk Curry recipes I found and make them vegetarian friendly. I also decided to make my own jerk seasoning, using this recipe I found on AllRecipes.com, which was easy to make and mostly required standard pantry spices.
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp Jerk seasoning
1 sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 inch ginger, shredded
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
3 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 large beef steak tomato, diced
1 scotch bonnet pepper, deseeded and diced (optional)
1/4 cup pineapple, diced (fresh or canned - saving at least 1 tsp of juice)
2 cups black beans, presoaked and well rinsed
1 cup wild rice, presoaked (if needed)
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the jerk seasoning and fry for a minute, stirring to prevent burning. Add the onion, ginger and garlic and cook for an additional 7 minutes, garlic should start to turn golden. Add the white wine vinegar and stir well.
- Add the sweet potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the potato to slight crisp on the outside before adding the peppers and tomato.
- Meanwhile prepare the wild rice per box instructions. Once finished fluff and set aside.
- Add the pineapple, along with the reserved juice, and the black beans. Stir everything well then add the cooked rice, stir again and then cook until beans are warm.
- Serve and enjoy!
This dish was a HUGE hit – can't begin to explain how much my husband enjoyed it! The combination of sweet and spicy was perfection, and the rice gave just the right amount of texture to the dish. It might have a rather long ingredient list but it was totally worth it, another great find thanks to /52weeksofcooking.

Following today's decision by the Community College System of New Hampshire board of trustees to freeze tuition, Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement:
"From the start of the budget process, we set out to restore the deep cuts made by the last legislature to our community colleges in exchange for a tuition freeze that would make a higher education more affordable for more Granite Staters, and I applaud the leadership of the Community College System of New Hampshire for their quick action.
"Our community colleges are developing innovative, nimble and cutting-edge programs to educate our citizens and provide them with the skills they need to secure high-quality jobs. By aligning their programs with the needs of innovative businesses that are already here and looking to hire, our colleges are helping to place students in good jobs that can support middle class families. And by responding to the industries that are growing across our state, region and nation, the system is helping to attract new companies to keep our economy strong.
"With this tuition freeze, we will help more of our people afford this critical education in order to build a stronger workforce, support innovative businesses and create good jobs that will lead to a bright economic future for all."

The company has spent $1.2bn (£750m) drilling offshore Greenland to date, but has yet to discover oil in commercial quantities. Unsuccessful exploration costs of $942m for 2011 contributed to a pre-tax loss for the year on continuing operations of $1.19bn.
However its net profits for 2011 were a record $4.57bn, thanks to a $5.75bn profit from discontinued operations. Cairn made $4.39bn from the sale of a 40pc stake in Cairn India to Vedanta last year.
In February it returned $3.5bn to shareholders and is now looking to spend some of its remaining $1.2bn cash pile. It also retains a 22pc stake in Cairn India, worth about $2.9bn.
Simon Thomson, Cairn chief executive, said he would look for near-term opportunities in "exploration, appraisal, development and possibly production". "It's a balance of lower risk with organic growth potential, against the transformational potential from the big exploration positions. Our aim is to exit 2012 with that rebalanced portfolio."
Cairn is also continuing to expand its exploration assets, looking at acreage in Spain as well as previously announced plans to bid in Lebanon and Cyprus, it said. It remained "convinced that all of the ingredients for success in Greenland are present" and would focus on working through the "mountain of data" it had acquired, as well as a exploration on its Pitu block, in which Statoil took a stake in January.
Cairn declined to comment on its rumoured interest in a bid for Falklands explorer Rockhopper.
Cairn shares rose 10.2 to 342.1p.

At 66 years of age, pianist Murray Perahia is finally making his Australian debut.
To be fair, he does have a good excuse for his delay in coming here: apart from being in demand at venues including Carnegie and Wigmore, he has been plagued with intermittent hand injuries for the past few decades. The recurring thumb injury (initially starting from an infection) could have ended the career of the Bronx-born pianist, not just physically but mentally too.
Fortunately, Perahia is not one to wallow in misery. "There's not much I can do other than try to find some kind of peace," he says from his north London home. "Even in those periods when I couldn't play, I studied a lot, especially Bach. I did analysis of music so I could understand the structure behind it.
"I needed not to waste my time and not get caught up in the depression of it all – which is a dangerous thing – so if you can avoid it, so much the better. I just visited the doctors and occupied my mental and emotional life with positive things."
The irony being that most of the repertoire Perahia is world renowned for performing was created by composers who could've done with some of his positivity and optimism – including Beethoven (went deaf), Schubert (died at 31 of syphilis) and Schumann (suicide attempts).
Perahia is amused at the suggestion, but says perhaps their external turmoil helped shape their affecting music. "Beethoven wasn't happy in his external life but his music is of great triumph, optimism and hope," he says. "Same with Schubert. There was also great happiness, otherwise it wouldn't touch one's soul deeply. Their emotional lives were very full."
Perahia is an intellectual, scholarly musician who now has the luxury afforded to few – he plays what he wants, when he wants, where he wants. There are no reams of marketing material, no libraries of glossy photo shoots.
"I'm not into that at all . . . I don't go there," he says. "The only thing I'm interested in, and I know it sounds like a cliche, is how I play the pieces and how I can transmit their message."
To celebrate his 40th anniversary with Sony Classical, the label has just released a weighty box set of 72 CDs and DVDs, Murray Perahia: The First 40 Years.
Is he proud?
"Yes, I'm of course thrilled. But you feel that life has just whooshed past!"
You won't find an atonal, dissonant work in that box set. Perahia has long stated that unless he loves a piece of music, he can't convince the audience to love it too. He has been at the receiving end of some criticism for his limited repertoire – although the monumental Sony box set would suggest otherwise – but his response is simply, "I don't care."
He explains: "Atonal music, that's the music I have difficulties with. It's just that, personally, I don't understand it. And I have to understand – indeed love – a piece in order to play it in public. Otherwise I can't say it with conviction.
"Tonality is a very important factor in shaping a piece. The composers were masters in understanding tonal relationships and their long-term significance. So when music deals with dissonant tones, I lose my way around it. Some of it looks very interesting, I try to play it, but it's not my world and I can't go in front of an audience and proclaim it."
Indeed, he says his challenge is constantly finding freshness and new understanding in works by the great baroque, classical and romantic masters, which have been in his repertoire for nearly five decades. "It's hard work," he admits. "If you don't change your feelings, if you don't question this note or that note, or why you did that, you get smug. I think smugness is the thing that kills arts. You have to live it every day. You need to see different things. You have to work at it. The minute you get self satisfied or complacent, you're finished. You can never really know a masterwork; it's a never-ending quest."
Perahia began learning the piano when he was four. He attended the famed Mannes College in New York, studying piano, conducting and composition.
His star rose with a string of wins in international competitions – including becoming the first North American to win the prestigious Leeds Piano Competition, in 1972 – leading to collaborations with giants such as composer Benjamin Britten, pianist Vladimir Horowitz and cellist Pablo Casals.
He has won several Grammy Awards and multiple Gramophone Awards, is an Honorary Fellow at three prestigious institutions and since 2004 has been an honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire (but he can't technically call himself a Sir because he is not a British citizen).
While he does not devote large chunks of his time to teaching, he does readily give the young advice.
"My advice is to keep their love of music alive," he says. "That's the thing that's going to give them the inspiration to do the hard work necessary. If the love of music is killed off by a competitive urge that you have to be better than the next person, you've killed the whole inspiration for doing the thing that you're doing.
"Don't just work on technique and self-improvement. That won't do it."
Perahia recalls spending hours as a child reading about music, listening to music, being totally immersed in the composers' world, and bemoans the lack of this deeply engaging experience today.
"Music has to be cultivated at home, by listening to it, reading about the times and the composers, the various emotional aspects to the music. I don't think it's done so much now. We live in a more materialistic society. Even Shakespeare isn't studied as much."
He will perform two solo recitals in Australia next month. His philosophy on the concert stage is simple: be honest with your audience, no matter what.
"In a concert I try and sing that piece so that people can identify with it and it can add meaning to their lives.
"I'm not that concerned if I hit a wrong note or if accidents happen. You establish a rapport with the audience. I'm not concerned so much about every note as
I am about the message."

It was a good bounceback season for the U.S. ski industry, with Brighton Resort's parent company matching the national rebound from the worst winter in decades.
The National Ski Areas Association said last week that resorts across the country logged 56.6 million visits by skiers and snowboarders this past season (although Snowbird Ski & Summer Resort is still open through May 27).
That represents an 11 percent increase over the pitiful winter of 2011-12, when low snow in most parts of the country reduced visitation to 51 million from 60.54 million the previous winter. The 2012-13 figure was the largest year-over-year gain in 30 years, but still about 1 million skier visits below the 10-year average, said NSAA spokesman Troy Hawks.
Although winter started slowly in many parts of the U.S., he said snowfall patterns ended up being conducive to heavy visitation to resorts during two important peak periods Christmas week and Presidents Day through the end of March, encompassing numerous spring breaks.
Hawks said 78 percent of resorts reported more visitors this past winter, with a median increase of 10.6 percent, important numbers for states such as Utah, where the ski season is a billion-dollar business.
In a separate report, CNL Lifestyle Properties Inc., said visitation increased 10.4 percent at its 17 ski resorts, which includes Brighton in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The Orlando-based real estate investment trust said revenue from lift-ticket sales was up 16 percent over 2011-12.
Figures for Brighton's performance were not broken out.
"We have made substantial investments in our resorts to boost snowmaking capacity, add lifts, open new terrain and enhance base facilities," said Steve Rice, senior managing director of CNL Lifestyle Properties' ski and lodging properties.
Those investments paid off at three large New England resorts, helping them to attract more early-season visitors, he added.
Like most of CNL's ski resort properties, Brighton is leased back to local operators who run the day-to-day operations. Randy Doyle manages Brighton, which was run by his father in its early years.
Besides ski resorts, CNL Lifestyle Properties also owns 48 golf courses, 20 attractions such as Denver's Elitch Gardens, 16 marinas, 62 senior housing facilities and eight "lifestyle" complexes. Its parent company, CNL Financial Group, has formed or acquired companies with more than $26 billion in assets since 1973.

Subject: RE:[GENBOX] Illegitimate children/nontraditional families in Genbox
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2003 20:29:12 -0500
In-Reply-To: <email@example.com>
Apologies for not getting back to you last night on this. In regards to the
chart that is exactly what I'm seeing.
Hi Phil,
Thanks for your detailed analysis.
I tracked down the problem with unmarried couples labeled "wife/husband" in
the sentence introducing the list of children, and have that corrected in
3.1.5. The correct way to mark couples as unmarried is to set the "Partner"
flag on the Family page. This was being used for the Family Group Sheet, but
it wasn't being checked for the narrative reports. This correction also
fixed the problem with the count of spouses.
I haven't looked yet at how the spouses are being sorted.
On the charts: it appears the problem is not with the illegitimate children,
but with the "unknown partner". For a known partner, the second set of
children are showing up fine for me. Is that what you are seeing?
-- Bill
William T. Flight

The first game full of errors, poor defensive coverage and careless penalties could easily be shrugged off as growing pains for a team with a new coach and new system. Maybe even the second, too.
But as the Washington Capitals foundered for a third straight game, stricken with a familiar brand of self-inflicted calamity, the question became not when they would put everything together, but if.
Undone once more by a plethora of untimely penalties, inept special teams play and a downright lack of cohesion, the Capitals lost, 4-1, to the Montreal Canadiens at Verizon Center on Thursday night, dropping to 0-3 on the year.
Washington is now the only team in the league without a point and winless in its first three games for the first time since the 1993-94 season. Through three games, the Capitals have been outscored 14-6, led for only 2 minutes 32 seconds (all against Winnipeg on Tuesday), are 2 for 12 (16.6 percent) on the power play and have been successful 11 of 18 (61.1 percent) times on the penalty kill.
"I would say some of our mistakes are pure effort. It's very upsetting. Not pushing the panic button, but obviously it's upsetting," Capitals Coach Adam Oates said. "I'm not a believer in the Knute Rockne speech. I'm not. We're pros. You got to be a pro and you got to do your job. It's not always gonna go your way. And you gotta show up for work."
For the third consecutive game, the Capitals' top players looked like shadows of themselves. Oates tried three different wingers alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom over the course of the night but neither sparked any more life in the top line than the last.
"I think it's embarrassing the way we played," Backstrom said. "We've really got to regroup and talk about this and play the way we should."
After the Capitals' most reliable defensive duo was on the ice for all four Montreal goals, Karl Alzner suggested to the coaching staff that he and usual blue-line partner John Carlson should be split up for the third period because they weren't contributing as a unit.
"You can't have two guys where things aren't going their way together," said Alzner, who couldn't pinpoint why seemingly routine plays had become impossible to execute. "It's everything. It's one of those things where it's everything. It's not just one. It's making plays at the right time, it's dumping the puck, even, the right way. It's not having your stick in the right lane. It's a bunch of things that's not going right for us."
The Capitals played arguably their strongest period of the young season in the first against Montreal, but the start of the second brought derailment in the form of penalties.
Ovechkin was whistled for interference less than two minutes in and while on the penalty kill, Troy Brouwer shot the puck over the glass earning a delay of game call and handing Montreal a two-man advantage for 1 minute 35 seconds. Tomas Plekanec scored with four seconds left in the five-on-three to make it 1-0.
Thwarting the remaining time proved of little use because the moment Washington returned to even strength, Matt Hendricks went off for goaltender interference. Andrei Markov needed just 12 seconds of that power play to make it 2-0 and send the Capitals reeling.
"I think we were playing really well and when they got those couple power-play goals it took the wind out of our sails," said Joey Crabb, who scored the Capitals' lone goal with less than three minutes left in the game. "When things aren't quite going your way and then something like that happens, then sometimes it's hard to get going and keep your momentum going."
Roughly four minutes later, blocked shots at one end for Washington resulted in a quick rush the other way as Rene Bourque blazed past Carlson to lead the play up ice. Alzner left his side of the ice and attempted to prevent Bourque's pass but failed and a wide-open Brian Gionta made it 3-0. At 18:21 of the second, un-checked Josh Gorges blasted a shot past Michal Neuvirth (18 saves) before the Capitals were back in position.
By that point, although a full third period remained, fans began streaming toward the exits. Those that remained expressed their displeasure the only way they can, with a full chorus of boos as the team left the ice and headed into the dressing room.
"Embarrassing is almost the right term right now. Pathetic is probably a better one," Brouwer said. "You know, I feel bad for the fans. I'd like to finish a game with at least 50 percent of the fans still in the stands. Their reaction is completely warranted — booing us. We haven't earned any respect. We haven't earned any of their passion, their ambition. We've got to turn something around, and we've got to do it fast."

Just when you start feeling sad that another political season has passed and there's nothing you can obsess over anymore, another one appears on the horizon. Each year, much like Christmas, the political season starts earlier than the last. It could also be argued that, like Christmas, an unthinkable amount of money is at stake. The national and local economies are flooded or deprived on economic impact from the seasons of politics and holidays alike.
In this update, we'll look at whether or not book sales from each party show an influences on the upcoming presidential election. Book sales used to be telling of the party in favor. Not to bring up yet another holiday, but remember the sales of Halloween masks? Historically, the candidate who's mask sold more is to be the victor in the election. Though this primitive system has proven very accurate, we'll stick to book sales. Year after year, republicans crank out so many top sellers, you'd think the party had issued some sort of book template in their handbook.
What do we have?
At the top of Amazon's bestselling books in politics in Glen Beck's Dreamers and Deceivers: True Stories of the Heroes and Villains Who Made America.
It's hard to say anymore if his book sales are a reflection of the country's feelings and tendencies or whether he has developed and loyal brand following with the help of his syndicated radio station. Opponents will argue that democrats write loads of books as well that don't sell with nearly the same popularity. The problem with this argument is that very few democrats have a radio show from which to promote their books. That may be for lack of demand. It may also be for lack of any daytime talk radio stations that aren't right-wing owned.
Can a democrats' books sell at the same level? Let's look at it.
A quick glance at Amazon's top sellers in politics categories says that republicans sell far more books than do democrats. And the republicans just took the Senate….

Here is a short video by independent cameraman and journalist, Vincent Eastwood, on the marginalisation of minor candidates by the media and organisations who arrange candidate meetings. He interviews myself and Dakta Green (ALCP):
Vanishing Democracy Of New Zealand & NWO (MR NEWS)
Though he makes some excellent points, I don't agree with Dakta about forcing organisations to invite all candidates.
Libertarianz respects the rights of media and other organisations to invite whomever they want.
Back in 2005, when Jim Anderton and Peter Dunne wanted to take TV3 to court for not having them on the leaders debate, Peter Cresswell and Bernard Darnton presented our case for supporting TV3's rights, even though Libertarianz could have joined the whingers:
Not PC: Dunne desperate for the worm
Libertarianz objects to busybodying over Leaders Debate
So, if you want to see diversity of opinions and a challenge to the status quo, voice your discontent, and persuade the media and other organisations to give people other than the 'usual suspects' a fair go. Persuasion, not force, is way to go about it.

Air Force vet should NOT be on the no-fly list! Allow Saadiq Long to visit his sick mom for the holidays
My brother, Saadiq, grew up with our family here in Oklahoma.
He served 10 years in the Air Force working to defend the American dream.
He spent some time overseas working various jobs, and then recently as he was about to come home for a visit, something mysterious happened -- my brother was not allowed on his flight and was told that he's on the No Fly List.
Saadiq tried to come home twice so far, but as recently as November 8, he was told by agents in Qatar, where he is currently, that he is not welcome in the United States.
My mother is sick. She has congestive heart failure. She can't fly to see her son, and I'm worried that they won't ever be able to see each other again.
I appreciate the safety measures the FBI and Homeland Security are taking to protect Americans like us, but it's frustrating and deeply upsetting to know my brother is on the No Fly List but to not hear back anything else from the government about why or how we can help resolve what I can only assume is a huge misunderstanding.
My brother is an American hero who served in the Air Force. He has no criminal record. My mother is ill. My family has suffered enough embarrassment from this No Fly List mix-up, and I appreciate everyone's support in please asking the FBI and Homeland Security to grant my brother the respect he deserves.
Please sign to stand with us in asking that Saadiq Long be removed from the No Fly List so he can come home to be with his family for the holidays.
- Department of Homeland Security
Remove Saadiq Long from the No Fly List
Saadiq Long is an American hero who served in the Air Force. While we respect the government's interest in national security, we can't trade that for the freedom of individuals like Saadiq. He has no criminal record and just wants to be able to visit his family in Oklahoma. Please take him off the no-fly list so he can be with his loved ones.
