THE 12 US jurors who will decide the fate of accused Melbourne bank robber Corey Donaldson have been asked if they have any "anger or negative feelings" towards Australians.
On the opening day of Donaldson's trial in the former wild west city of Cheyenne, Wyoming, US District Judge Alan B. Johnson, federal prosecutor Todd Shugart and 39-year-old Donaldson, who is representing himself, took almost four hours to weed through the large pool of Wyoming residents who will act as jurors.
Donaldson, a self-help guru who was dubbed "Robin Hood" by the US media after he claimed in press releases written from jail he took $US140,700 ($A136,635) from a US Bank branch to give to America's desperately poor, was confident as he addressed the potential jurors.
"Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen," Donaldson, 39, dressed in a dark pin-striped suit and pink tie, said.
"My name is Corey Donaldson and my accent is from Melbourne, Australia."
Donaldson is accused of using "intimidation" to commit a bizarre robbery of a US Bank branch in the ski resort town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on New Year's Eve.
It's alleged Donaldson, referring to himself as an international investor named "Charlie", set up a meeting with the bank's manager.
Donaldson told the bank manager he was robbed in Mexico and after the robbery four Vietnam veterans linked to a drug cartel approached him and said they would help him find the robbers, authorities allege.
Donaldson allegedly said the Vietnam vets then took him up in a helicopter with two unknown males, asked one of the males about the theft and when he refused to answer, tied a rope around the man, lowered him out the helicopter and "dragged him until the only thing left was a bloody rope".
According to the indictment against Donaldson, when the bank manager reached for an alarm button under his desk, Donaldson warned members of a drug cartel had placed "four military grade explosives" outside the bank and if he did not comply with their demands there "will be blood and carnage" and the manager would be "hunted down and killed".
Donaldson, who has lived in the US for almost 20 years and has written self-help books published by a subsidiary of Random House, was arrested on January 23 in Utah and, according to authorities, only $US16,000 of the $US140,700 was recovered.
Donaldson allegedly told authorities he gave the cash to the homeless and charities.
While selecting the nine woman, three man jury, with two female alternates, the potential candidates were asked about their feelings towards banks and Australians, and if they knew any Australians.
"Does anyone have any anger or negative feelings against people who come from Australia or the continent of Australia?" Judge Johnson asked.
Each juror replied they did not have bad feelings towards Australians or Australia.
A female juror told the court she had visited Melbourne and a male juror said he had a brother in Townsville.
"I have a lady I work with from New Zealand," another female juror replied.
"Do you get along well with her?" the judge asked.
"We get along fine," she replied.
The trial is expected to last a week.

text: I have read all the negative stuff posted about this smoker not working in colder weather because it will not keep up to temperature. So I attempted to make a rube goldburg solution. After much consideration and research on the melting temperature of the space blankets you buy for 10 for 6.95 on ebay, I used heat duct aluminum tape and taped the space blanket material over the window. and all sides excepting where the vent is. I did each side and the top as separate pieces. I started the smoker at 12:15 today and it is around 15F on my back porch. I have a cold smoker attachment and I filled it with wood chips. It got to 250 in fifteen minutes. I turned the cold smoker on and put in a 5 lb. chicken and a rack of ribs The smoking is going beautifully and the unit is maintaining temperature very well. Chicken up to 141 internal temp at 2:45 and ribs looking beautiful redish smoked look. Using beer in the water tray and using apple and cherry to smoke. Plan on smoking another two to three hours. Only my third time using this unit but so far it is a wonderful experience. Remote is great on a day like today. I can check it from a warm room. However, since I am new to this unit I go out often and check things and I am freezing my butt off!! But the chicken and ribs look wonderful !! Last ribs I made in warmer weather were awesome. My wife loved them and she is not crazy about smoked food. Maybe Masterbuilt has improved their insulation and I would not have had to heat blanket insulate it.

WASHINGTON -- Reps. Al Green and Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston will join other members of the Congressional Black Caucus in Johannesburg to pay final respects to Nelson Mandela.
"Mandela's impressive legacy is one of courage, dignity, and righteousness in the face of hatred," Green said in a statement about the trip. "May Mandela's life and accomplishments serve as a timeless example of the triumph of justice."
Mandela, who died Dec. 5 at age 95, was South Africa's first black president and a life-long fighter against apartheid. Green called him "a personal hero."
The Congressional Black Caucus was instrumental in pressuring the apartheid regime in South Africa, and 21 members, led by chairwoman Rep. Marcia Fudge, are heading to South Africa for the memorial. The late Rep. Mickey Leland of Houston was a leader in the push for sanctions that eventually led to Mandela's release from prison in 1990.
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama just left a refueling stop in Senegal en route to South Africa. Former President George W. Bush and his first lady, Laura Bush, are aboard Air Force One, along with Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state. Former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter will meet up with them at a huge memorial service Tuesday. United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and more than 90 other world leaders are expected, along with more than 100,000 mourners.
Two other Texans in the Congressional Black Caucus, Reps. Eddie Bernice Johnson of Dallas and Marc Veasey of Fort Worth, were unable to attend due to the ice storm in Dallas and preexisting commitments, aides said.
Rep. Johnson called Mandela "the ultimate uniter" in a statement on his death. "I am grateful to have known and learned from this great man and I will keep his family and country in my prayers," she said.

Did what? Set a -18dB RMS pink noise signal to 85dB SPL?

Simply that the test as proposed is flawed.
It does not predict how little power we need to avoid clipping when we play our systems at the loudest we want to hear at.

What don't you understand about the test? All your concerns have been met and explained by me and by others.
Until you can demonstrate, point by point, how the test is flawed, I must consider your responses irreverent.

For those of you who own an SPL meter - or want to buy one - here is some pink noise for you. It is recorded at -18dBFS RMS. There are two files. One is mono, the other stereo. In the stereo file, left and right are uncorrelated, I.E. they are random compared to each other. Each is 11 seconds long.
I suggest playing them in loop, one after the other. Move your SPL meter around the listening area and look for an average 85dB reading. Your meter should be set to Slow and C weighting.
This will set your system to the SMPTE PR-200 standard level. The EBU uses the same level. Movie soundtracks are supposed to be mastered at this level. This should give you 18dB of headroom over the average level. or peaks of 103dB, if your amp and speakers can do it.
I think you will find that this is much too loud for normal CD listening, as many CDs are mastered much hotter than this. The peaks won't be higher, they are still at 0dB on the recording, or 103dB SPL at your chair. It's the average level of most CDs that will be higher. But that's OK, it may be close to your "As Loud as I Ever Want to Go" setting found by ear. I doubt you'll ever run louder than this, but please tell us if you do.

FWIW, I just tried the above test of setting my system level at 85dB. It came up right at 12:00 on the volume knob. Surprise, surprise. 12:00 was my by ear "plenty loud enough" setting.
I do find it much too loud for most listening. Checking at an enjoyable listening level I find the input signal is 8-12dB lower on average.

The test does seem a reasonable alternative to the time honored SPL measurement way to determine a 70V distributed systems power requirements in todays digital world, but it's what it claims to do that concerns me, i.e. provide the information required for someone to determine how much power they need worst case if they don't want to clip the amp with whatever digital sources they currently have on hand [or may buy in the future, not to mention some analog recordings] plus I see no way to use it for setting up a proper HT and/or multi-channel music system, so dont want folks to be mislead into believing this procedure will necessarily do what is being claimed.
I mean how does one know how much their existing amp and/or speakers is probably clipping doing this test unless its already sufficiently oversized, especially if its a tube amp and/or FR driver? Or how dynamic the signal?
Folks tend to set max levels based on audible distortion, so any conclusion seems predicated on a test that may be ill suited for the app since the more dynamic it is, the more its likely to be clipped, so it may be just less clipped with the calculated power available unless the normal average is somewhat, to well, below the test setting.
Worse, the most dynamic CDs I have dont have the most power hungry spikes in its loudest passages, so how is some arbitrarily chosen 120 or 220 Hz test tone going to account for these spikes?
Indeed, the only way I can [or at least once, could] hear them was by noticing more top end air around the instruments after seeing the spikes using an SLM, i.e. one step closer to what Ive experienced in concert halls, piano bars, etc., so how likely is one to notice such subtlety using this test unless their amp, speaker system was already grossly oversized [at least by the tone of this thread] and know what to listen for?
105 dB peak/channel at the Lp is a goal for those folks that want to reproduce movie soundtracks at DD/THX/DTS reference. This is based on an 85 dB average at the LP. Since the gain is fixed at 20 dB for the mains and 30 dB for the LFE channel, its scaleable to whatever average or peak one desires.
If not sitting up close, it also happens to be in the ballpark for the piano bars, jazz clubs, small concert venues or similar I once frequented before mind numbing loud at the expense of SQ became a prerequisite, so has been my personal reference level for long before these standards were proposed, though of course the dynamics of live venues are somewhat higher than all but a precious few recordings Ive owned/auditioned.
Not that I havent enjoyed some of the loudest concerts on record to the point of ~mimicking them at home with the required highly efficient, high powered sound system required that might not have been adequate based on my understanding of this test if done today. As TD noted:
How much Voltage does it take to reproduce the variety of things I like to listen to in their dynamic entirety?
The answer to me seems that it depends on the dynamic peak to average ratio in the music and the dynamic nonlinearity of the speakers and not just 4X the .5VRms margin.
That margin IS plenty for a lot of recordings, especially modern pop but well short of others, way short of reproducing real life events in a normal noise floor.
All that said, if its a high output impedance tube amp, Im ambivalent about clipping the really fast transients as the amps harmonic distortion is normally perceived as adding top end air regardless, so this test should be adequate for finding its reasonably low distortion power minimum or conversely, the speakers efficiency to meet a specific average SPL.
Loud is Beautiful if it's Clean! As always though, the usual disclaimers apply to this post's contents.

Sorry GM, you simply don't understand the test. All the issues you mention above have been covered. I've tried to explain it, but it seems to be out of my reach to do so.
It's super simple and easy to do.
The ONLY variable is where you set your volume control. I've asked for folks to do that using dynamic recordings and have now even supplied pink noise for an 85dB reference.
I just don't know how much simpler I can make it.
I'll go over your points 1 by 1 in a few minutes.

Test is done, apologies for the rotten pics... it was so bleedin' loud ya know
And that's with a fresh set of earplugs well fitted lol
So I did the test, you can see the SPL meter here, C weighted. Very little difference between the mono and stereo tracks.
I then went back and ran Panos 220 Hz track at this same volume setting and measured 3.7 volts RMS.
Keeping that volume setting I played the Eroica track that I posted "Cooledit" shots of earlier. That peaked at around 93 ish db. And it was to loud for comfortable listening for me at that.
The Mooly Amp has power meters accurately calibrated in volts onto 8 ohms and so I guestimate the Pano noise test at 0.5 w RMS. Clear shot of the meters so you can see the scale.
Installing and using LTspice IV. From beginner to advanced.

How can Labour win back voters in the South East? At the 2010 general election, Labour took ten southern seats outside of London, compared to four times that in 1997. Like the Tories in the North, Ed Miliband needs to offer policies that will ease the concerns of these lost southeastern voters; to convince them Labour is once again on their side.
Miliband has tried to address the problem. The catalyst came from John Denham, who urged Miliband, as Giles Radice did with Neil Kinnock in 1992, to remember the '6:14 from Basingstoke' voter and avoid using 'north-south' language. Instead, Denham suggested Labour should present policies that appeal across the whole country.
The Labour leader has examined the cost of living several times, a particular concern for those in the south — as the Daily Mail illustrated here. He has vowed to fight the 2015 election on this particular matter and has already advocated a living wage. Miliband has also raised concern over rising energy and rail prices — but one has to question his thoroughness. On ticket prices, he offers no actual solution on how to reduce fares, just that it needs to be done. On energy prices, Miliband's rhetoric suggests he is more concerned with cutting carbon emissions than bills. Paul Goodman explains here the political importance of advocating lower energy bills.
Tristram Hunt confirms in this week's Spectator Labour is keen to win back these voters and their Eastleigh by-election campaign — just the kind of seat they need target — is a good precedent for 2015:
'What is more, voters in Hampshire and the south do not have a foreign set of values to the heartlands of the Labour north. Instead, the difference is that the Labour party has too often failed to provide both a language which speaks to southern voters and a presence on the ground.
'This is the psychological significance of Eastleigh. It shows that the Labour party is not going to retreat to a core strategy of upping the solid Labour vote while picking off disaffected Liberal Democrats. Nor will we limit ourselves to precision strikes against a few target wards in Stevenage and Redditch. Instead, we will treat the electorate with respect by offering them choice.'
In his political column last month, James bemoaned Miliband's solid policy problem. When I heard Miliband give his energetic conference speech last year, I was impressed that he had created a strong party branding which still didn't tie him to any particular policies. But so far, his announcements, while fitting into that framework, have lacked the definition these lost voters will want if they are to believe in Miliband and Labour.

Turning product development into competitive advantage (Exec Brief)
We rely on smarter products each day, from cell phones and home appliances to cars and airplanes. The software embedded in these products delivers greatly increased functionality, but it also introduces a complex new set of development challenges. The reality is that product manufacturers are now also becoming software companies, leveraging the flexibility of software to introduce new functionality and variation in response to changing client demands. At the same time, these manufacturers are encountering increasing complexity; as they infuse software-based innovation into the development process, they are struggling to understand the effect of the dynamic software development process on the more traditional electrical and mechanical engineering domains.
This executive brief outlines key best practices for leveraging systems engineering capabilities to boost innovation, increase product and systems knowledge earlier in the development process, and reduce development costs of developing smarter products.

Effects of Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) on Serotonin-1A Receptor Binding

- How to Read a Study Record
In treatment-resistant depression, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) has been shown to effectively reduce depressive symptoms, though the underlying neurobiological mechanism is still unclear. The serotonergic system, and in particular the inhibitory serotonin-1A (5-HT1A) receptor, appears to be significantly involved in the effectiveness of ECT. The aim of the study is to assess the effects of ECT on the 5-HT1A receptor binding potential (BPND) and distribution in humans in vivo using positron emission tomography (PET) and the radioligand [carbonyl-11C]WAY-100635.
12 patients suffering from severe, therapy-resistant unipolar depression will undergo 3 PET scans, two of these scans taking place before the ECT treatment, consisting of 6-14 ECTs, the third scan taking place after the ECT treatment.
This imaging study hypothesizes that upon completion of the ECT, the overall 5-HT1A receptor BPND in the brain of depressed patients will significantly change.
This study would be the first to demonstrate an effect of electroconvulsive therapy on the 5-HT1A receptor binding in humans in vivo. Given the involvement of the 5-HT1A receptor in the pathophysiology of mood disorders, the present study would be an important step towards a better understanding of antidepressant treatment and treatment response. By comparing treatment effect and the underlying biological mechanism, the study might help to identify biomarkers that distinguish patients who are likely to benefit from ECT from patients who will rather be non-responders. Finally, by investigating the role of the 5-HT1A receptor in ECT, is highly discussed relevance for antidepressant action will be further elucidated and might prepare the ground for new therapeutic strategies.

There are common questions that we can answer about all health topics, such as "What is it?" and "How many people are affected." Answers to these questions are found under Condition Information. Each health topic frequently has specific questions that pertain only to that topic. We have answered those in this section.
The choice of birth control depends on many factors. Before deciding on a method of birth control you should consider your overall health, age, frequency of sexual activity, number of sexual partners, desire to have children in the future, and family history of certain diseases. Individuals should consult their health care provider to discuss which method of birth control is best for them based on the above criteria. It is also important to discuss birth control methods with your sexual partner.
Different forms of contraception carry different health risks and side effects, and some of them are serious. It is important to talk to a health care provider to determine your specific health risks and which method of contraception is right for you. The HHS Office on Women's Health website maintains information about the possible side effects of each type of contraception.1
Combined hormonal birth control methods can increase the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and blood clots. The risk of these conditions is higher in pregnancy than with any currently marketed birth control methods, so women need to weigh the benefit of protection from pregnancy with the risk of any specific birth control method. Women are at higher risk for these outcomes if they are more than 35 years old and smoke tobacco or if they have histories of blood clots or breast or endometrial cancer. They may be advised not to use combined hormonal methods of birth control.
It is important to monitor any side effects and consult your health care provider if you experience discomfort.
Contraception is most often used to help prevent pregnancy. It can be helpful for women who do not wish to become pregnant and who are at higher risk for health problems associated with pregnancy. These can include an increased risk for high blood pressure, blood clots, gestational diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The risks of these conditions are higher in women who are obese, are older than 35, or who smoke tobacco. For women with high risk factors who need to avoid pregnancy, IUDs and implants may be the most effective methods.
Progestin-releasing IUDs may also reduce or prevent bleeding problems. Other health benefits for certain methods include reducing acne, treating anemia associated with excessive bleeding, and reducing the risk of endometrial, ovarian, or colon cancer. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of the methods as well as the risk associated with pregnancy with your health care provider.
If you want to become pregnant, talk to your health care provider about stopping your birth control.
When taking oral contraceptives, ovulation can be restarted by stopping taking the pill. It is possible to become pregnant during the next menstrual cycle after stopping the pill, but it may take 1 or 2 months before you return to the previous timing of your cycle.2 If you are using a contraceptive patch or vaginal ring, removing the device stops the delivery of hormones, and the results are similar to stopping oral contraception. Recovery of fertility after injections of Depo-Provera® may take longer, up to 10 months in some cases.
IUDs must be removed by a health care professional. After removal, pregnancy is possible at any time.3
An implanted rod must also be removed by a health care provider. The implant is removed through a small cut in your arm, and pregnancy is possible any time after the implant is removed.2
Yes. Use of oral contraceptives can also reduce severe menstrual cramps, make menstrual bleeding lighter, and clear up acne. There is also evidence that use of the pill can reduce the risk of endometrial,ovarian, and colon cancer, reduce the occurrence of cysts in the breasts and ovaries, protect against iron deficiency anemia, and improve bone density.2 The hormonal IUD can also reduce severe menstrual cramps and make menstrual bleeding lighter.
Oral contraception can also be used treat other gynecological disorders, such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The pill may also offer some protection against pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to infertility if left untreated.

After following the Softmod ANY wii guide using LetterBomb all is working fine.
However when I'm on the HBC and choose to start BootMii the screen goes blank and the blue LED (tray) starts flashing.
Doing a search it tells me the bootmii folder is missing on the SD card.
I found the missing files doing a search again and put them into place.
Now when I boot my wii, with the bootmii folder on SD, the wii goes to a black screen and nothing happens.
When I delete the bootmii folder on SD all is working as normal again.
What am I missing here?
I would like to know how to start bootmii in case I ever need to.

Upper Decks Legendary Pioneers Promotion Who Will Take it Home?
Upper Decks Legendary Pioneers Promotion Who Will Take it Home?
Completing a set of trading cards can be difficult sometimes, but the satisfaction one feels when its complete is pretty special. We wanted to make it achievable once again for one of Upper Decks most famous baseball sets: Legendary Cuts Signature Cuts. These cards feature an authenticated cut signature of a deceased baseball legend. In previous years, with so many 1-of-1 and extremely limited versions of the cards, it was impossible to put an entire set together. In 2009, we decided we would make each cards limited to at least five copies so it would be possible for a devoted SP Legendary Cuts fan to put the entire Legendary Cuts Signature Cuts set together.
We wanted to spice things up a bit by providing an amazing bonus for the first collector to finish the 300-plus card set. We brainstormed about what we could create and working off the theme of legendary cut signatures, the Legendary Pioneers card was born. Its one thing to talk about it, but its quite another to see the completed card when it arrived at Upper Deck Headquarters earlier this week.
What makes the Legendary Pioneers card so unique, you ask? Well just take a look at the front. You start out with an authentic signature from Abner Doubleday, the Union general during the Civil War, who is credited as being the founder of baseball. Then you have an authentic signature of Knute Rockne, one of the greatest college football coaches of all time who came up with a little something known as the forward pass. Tom Brady thanks you for that one Knute. You can also see the card is limited to just one copy.
Chris Card 001
Then let me see if I can keep my hand from shaking too badly you flip it over to discover another set of authentic cut signatures. On the top you have a signature from Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. They say he also introduced the first football helmet. And beneath him we have an autograph of Lord Stanley or as hes known in the states, the guy they named the Stanley Cup after.
Chris Card 002
Much like any passionate sports fan, I tend to geek out a little when I see a card like this. Its just amazing. I feel like getting the chance to hold it is an amazing privilege, but I also need to tell you that it actually gives me a minor panic attack. I cannot even imagine what this is worth in the open market. In talking to Becketts pricing analysts, they have no earthly idea either because quite frankly, there has never been a card like this ever produced.
Chris Card 003
At the National Sports Collectors Convention this summer, I had more than a few collectors ask me about this promotion. Each had a different strategy and many of the cards were snatched up throughout that weekend, a trend that has continued online and at other popular hobby shows since. To be honest, were not sure if anyone will complete the set, but we know many are working towards it and it will be very exciting to see who takes home this card.
Time is running out on the promotion so if you are going for it, you better snatch up any of the last cut signatures you need. If no collector completes the set, whoever is farthest along by December 15 will receive this truly amazing card. Will it be you? If you think so, heres what you do:
1. Contact me by calling (760) 603-7548 or email@example.com once you have completed the set.
a. Contact me by December 1, 2009 if you think you may be one of the collectors farthest along with the set.
2. Directions will then be given to submit the set for validation.
3. Upper Deck will award The Legendary Pioneers card featuring authentic signatures of Doubleday, Naismith, Rockne and Lord Stanley to the first collector who completes the set and contacts Upper Deck for validation or the collector who is farthest along in completing the set following validation.
I hope whoever wins it gives it a good home. In the meantime, Im putting it back in its case for safekeeping.

I hate to nitpick...Abner Doubleday was once credited as being the inventor of baseball, but no longer. That honor was given to Alexander Cartwright by the United States Congress over 50 years ago. The date was June 3rd, 1953 to be exact. Why does upper deck still feel the need to deceive their customers? Is it because they couldn't find an authentic signature of the true inventor of baseball?
Here's one in case you guys have never seen one:

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services will launch a suite of training tools to help lenders comply with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's new integrated mortgage disclosures.
The Minneapolis-based document preparation and risk management technology business developed a toolkit that includes recorded trainings, job aids, gap analysis and project management templates and is designed to help lenders update their processes, policies and technology, as well as get employees prepared ahead of the Aug. 1, 2015 implementation deadline. The new forms will replace the existing good faith estimate and HUD-1 disclosures and come with additional fee-estimate and document delivery requirements.
The toolkit resources will be updated with industry changes that occur over the next year, Wolters Kluwer said in a Wednesday press release.
The 1,888-page final RESPA-TILA rule mandates that lenders use two disclosures, the "loan estimate," which replaces the GFE, and the "closing disclosure," which replaces the HUD-1. In addition, the rule requires that the closing disclosure in most cases has to be received by the borrower at least three business days before closing. The new requirements are being executed through changes to the Truth in Lending and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Acts.
The new rule applies to mostly closed-end consumer mortgages. It does not pertain to home equity lines of credit, reverse mortgages, mortgages secured by mobile homes, or creditors that make five or fewer mortgages a year, according to Ballard Spahr.
"Our customers have a need for more information and clarity around these regulations, so our compliance experts have developed these tools to provide meaningful guidance, help them prepare and limit the disruption to their business," said Art Tyszka, senior director and general manager of residential lending at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, in the news release.
The toolkit will be available as a series of downloads starting in September, Wolters Kluwer said.
"We believe these tools are an important resource to help lighten the compliance burden for lenders, so they have a sound understanding of the impacts to their business and can prepare to meet the requirements," added Kris Stewart, senior manager of professional services at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services.

Digital Infrared Photography With The Fuji S20 Pro; There's More To Life Than Color Image Files! Page 2
In order to use Hitachi's 4GB Microdrive your camera must first accept CompactFlash cards Type II (the thick ones) and support the FAT 32 system. FAT (File Allocation Table) keeps track of where each image is stored and is available in three versions, the most advanced being FAT 32, which supports memory cards up to 2TB (terabytes). Fuji's FinePix S20 Pro accepts Type II cards; the format used by Microdrives, but uses the FAT 16 structure that only supports a maximum partition of 2GB. Even if you put a 4GB card or Microdrive into a FAT 16 camera, it would still only see 2GB.
One of the first things you have to do when shooting IR is to forget everything you know about lighting and the best time of day to make images. Infrared images are fun because they capture parts of the invisible spectrum, allowing you to see things that only register simply as heat creating otherworldly images. To give foliage that famed infrared "glow" you need to shoot at a time of day when there's more sun on the images than not; this puts you shooting at midday! Not the best time to make conventional images, but the "golden hours" for infrared. If you need a rule of thumb, try this: The best time of day to shoot IR is when it's the worst time of day to shoot normal images.
Filters And Holders
When I first looked at the FinePix S20 Pro I saw what looked like filter threads on the front of the lens, at least until I turned it on and the sharp Fujinon 35-210mm (35mm equivalent) lens extended its proboscis. In order to use filters, I needed the optional adapter ring that lets you use Fuji's wide conversion and tele-conversion lenses or 55mm screw-in filters. Modular filters, such as Cokin's "A" series will work, too, as well as larger sizes. Since I didn't have the adapter, I used that most dexterous of all filter holders--my fingers.

What's so special?
The Molitor was a staple of the Parisian social scene for 60 years from its opening as a grand lido in 1929 until it closed and fell to rack and ruin. The bikini was launched there in 1946 and future Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller was a lifeguard. Now, after a renovation, it has opened as a luxury hotel, centred around the beautiful swimming pool.
How they rate it
The new bedrooms are beautiful, writes Isabel Best in the FT – she stayed in room 221. "While there are larger suites boasting terraces, this is surely the best in the building… it would be a pleasant but unremarkable space were it not for the large round window looking down on to the magnificent T-shaped outdoor pool."
The outdoor pool is "dazzlingly glamorous" and empty – to swim in this gorgeous expanse of watery blue you either have to be a hotel guest or pay the €3,300 a year private members fee.
The menu
On the roof there is a terrace with views of the Eiffel Tower and a cocktail bar and grill. There is also a restaurant that serves up classic French cuisine.
The cost
Double rooms cost from €300. For more information visit www.mltr.fr/en or call 00 33 1 5607 0850.
Le Royal Monceau Raffles
What's so special?
A combination of the location and celebrity design makes this hotel worth booking. It is close to the Champs-Elysées, on the broad avenue between the Arc de Triomphe and Parc Monceau. The interior is stylish and unusual thanks to designer Philippe Starck.
How they rate it
"As soon as you see the red lanterns and red glass marquise outside, you know this place is naughty but nice," says Natasha Edwards in The Daily Telegraph. "It's at its best downstairs in the public spaces, the lounge stretches endlessly mixing vistas and secluded corners, with the illuminated Long Bar for seeing and being seen, and a cascade of chandeliers in the stairwell."
The bedrooms are "far from designer minimalism, rather, a Starck-conceived artistic clutter of eclectic lamps and tables, mixing retro and contemporary touches, with a vast island bed". For something even grander, book one of the three presidential suites "occupying a floor each of the adjacent building".
The menu
Both the hotel's restaurants boast Michelin stars. Choose from French dishes at La Cuisine or Tuscan food at Il Carpaccio.
The cost
Double rooms start from €640 per night. The presidential suites cost from €25,000 per night. Find out more at www.leroyalmonceau.com or call 00 33 1 4299 8800.
Beat the post-World Cup blues
With the World Cup over, many football fans might be suffering withdrawal symptoms. One way to beat the post-tournament blues is booking into one of these football-related hotels.
Hotel Boca in Buenos Aires, Argentina, is "dedicated to the city's beloved Boca Juniors team", says Laura Holt in The Independent. "It's decked out in signature blue and gold home colours, with paintings of the stadium, La Bombonera, on the walls." The hotel has a gym, pool, sauna and "spa therapists on hand to ease post-match aches". Rooms start from £80 including breakfast (Hotelbocajuniors.com; 00 54 11 4590 8540).
This summer, aspiring football stars can take part in the Chelsea Football Academy at the Forte Village Resort in Sardinia. "Now in its seventh season, it welcomes children aged four to 14 for five-day football camps, taught by the same coaches who train the players at Stamford Bridge." Doubles from €550, half board, the academy costs €320 per child (Fortevillageresort.com; 00 39 070 921516).
Hotel Football is set to open opposite the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester this winter. Co-owned by Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville it promises "views of the former
England fullback and the Welsh winger's old stomping ground when they played for Manchester United, with its own five-a-side pitch on the roof". Doubles start from £80, room only (Hotelfootball.com; 0161 751 0430).

Nikon Coolpix P7100 8 to 10 Megapixel
Product Description
A premium compact digital camera built for serious photographers and pros, the Nikon P7100 has dual exposure control dials, a 7.1x zoom lens (28-200mm equivalent) with optical VR, 720p HD video with stereo sound, RAW shooting, an optical viewfinder and a flash hot shoe. This is the camera you take with you when you don't want to carry your DSLR but you don't want to make any compromises.
User Reviews
Submitted by srblough a Intermediate
Date Reviewed: August 12, 2012
Strengths: DSLR-level creative / manual control including RAW.
Excellent images including low light.
Bright, large, variable angle TFT screen.
Thoughtful control design.
Weaknesses: Viewfinder not particularly useful and perhaps not worth added size / weight.
For my purposes would be nice for menu structure to duplicate that on my D90. For that and other reasons I had occasional frustration getting the settings I wanted.
If you care about movie quality HD is only 720p.
If you have a sensor size fetish it is only 10.1MP.
Bottom Line:
Nikon describes the P7100 as a "compact companion to your DSLR that's perfect for roadtrips and vacations" and that is what they delivered. Full creative control - one camera-top dial give instant access to ISO, white-balance, picture quality (including RAW), picture control menus plus a customizable "my menu"; another set exposure compensation + / 1 three stops. Shutter speed and aperture set using front and back dials just like my D90. Lens optical zoom is 28 - 200 equivalent, aperture f/2.8 - 5.6. Has a hot-shoe so you can use a real flash. Has a variety of auto-focus modes including user-selectable AF point. Has an HDR feature that I have not tried. I could go on but you get the idea.
I used the P7100 as my walk-around camera during a 2-week road-trip around central Europe. It fits easily in a jacket pocket (where you won't notice the size weight) or a large pants pocket (where you will). I thought I would be glad for the viewfinder (aging eyes need reading glasses to use the screen) but ended up not being very useful except in bright sun and on auto settings - unlike a DSLR the viewfinder provides no shooting information. Might be worth the size/weight savings to eliminate it. The screen is bright and saturated, love the tilt feature; the camera has a very solid build and nice hand feel.
Photo quality was outstanding, nothing jumped out to distinguish photos I took with the P7100 from those I took with the D90. I took it into several cathedrals and was especially please with its low-light performance. ISO settings go up to 3200 plus "Hi-1" which goes into metadata as 6400, got some very nice shots on that with noise that was noticeable but not bothersome.
Worth noting that mid-trip the camera was with me for a slight canoeing mishap and was completely immersed for 15-20 seconds. After 3 days of drying (mostly on the car dashboard while driving) it was up and running again with no effects I have noticed.
I did not looks at competing brands (e.g. Canon G12) because my primary camera is a Nikon and I assumed a Nikon would maximize menu / control and other compatibility.
Overall I love the camera and looking forward to doing a lot of shooting and experimenting with it.

The Trinity Parkway hearing, a Virgin America announcement, and allergies.
Some Still Want to Build Trinity Parkway. The Morning News characterizes the crowd at last night's final public hearing on building a $1.4 billion road in a floodway as "divided."
Park Board Members Don't Want You to Email Them. A new website for the Dallas Park and Recreation Board is scheduled to go live today. It was to have a feature providing the public the ability to contact any of the members. But some board members pushed back, fearing that they'd receive as many as 50 additional emails each month. So the site is launching without it.
Virgin America Lands a Plane at Love Field. And the air carrier has announced a news conference for today. The speculation is that it has something to do with Virgin's desire to take over the two gates at the airport that American Airlines has to give up as part of the deal that led the Justice Department to approve its merger with U.S. Airways. But the city of Dallas, which has to approve which airline gets the gates, said that no decision has been made.

Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,
My name is Anna White and I am a student editor here at the LINGUIST List. I am originally from Shreveport, Louisiana and I have just begun working at the LINGUIST List this semester.
I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics at Baylor University in Waco, Texas in May 2013. After finishing my undergraduate degree, one of my professors in the Linguistics Program at Baylor told me about the Master's in Linguistics program at Eastern Michigan University and the wonderful opportunity to work at the LINGUIST List that the program could provide. She had graduated from the Master's program herself and recommended it to me. I enrolled in the program in fall of 2013.
I now have a graduate assistantship at the LINGUIST List that supports me as I pursue a Master's degree in Linguistics. I am so thankful to have a job that is relevant to my field at such an early stage of my career, and I greatly enjoy working at the LINGUIST List. Every day I look forward to working with other linguists on services that aid the linguistic community and projects that further our knowledge and make resources accessible to our community.
I edit the conference calls for papers and I have just started working on the MultiTree project, which I look forward to contributing to and learning from. I feel that the work I am able to do here matters, and I am so grateful to everyone that supports the LINGUIST List. Please help us continue to grow and support students like me in the pursuit of higher education in the field of Linguistics.
Your support allows us to keep providing valuable services and resources to our community. When you donate to the LINGUIST List, you are supporting our projects and daily functioning. You are supporting students that love Linguistics as much as you do, and helping us to make a future in the field for which we all have a passion.
If you can, please consider donating at least some small amount to help us keep running in the coming year. You can follow this link to see our fund drive page and learn more about why your contribution matters so much. Many thanks.

text: My grandson bought a singer sewing machine at a thrift store so he could make his own backpacking stuff. He brought it out for me to show him how to thread it and to see if it worked( I would have found that out before I bought it) . It worked but the feed dogs moved up and down but not forward and backwards. It is a metal machine. "Stylist 834" I think it would be worth getting fixed . Do any of you ladies know anything about this machine? what could make the feed dogs not work?

Travis Snider was 3-3 with a solo home run for Toronto and Ricky Romero allowed two runs on eight hits in six innings.
Vladimir Guerrero was 3-5 with a run scored for the Angels and Trevor Bell lasted only 1 2-3 innings after surrendering six runs on six hits and four walks.

Aaron Spelling's Home Still Most Expensive on US Market
We have all heard the talk that the housing market is in a slump, but when it breaks, boy, will Aaron Spelling's family hit the jackpot.
For the third consecutive year, the late TV magnate's Holmby Hills, California home, dubbed the Manor, tops the list of most expensive homes for sale in the US, as noted by Unique Homes magazine. The 'Beverly Hills, 90210' creator's pad comes with a very Beverly Hills price tag: $150 million.
Eritera Is World's Most Expensive Place to Buy Gas
Gas prices are utterly crazy!
Last week, the average cost of gasoline in the United States was $3.84. In places like Los Angeles, the price has jumped to $4.23 a gallon.

Yes we're deep into Spring and NYC feels like it's gearing up for winter. Yet the music never stops…
Been a moment since I've written a proper post. The world has changed drastically since then. Most recently losing the great musician extraordinaire crazy fantastical energy machine that was Prince. Seems like a locally grown bigot named Trump will be the GOP nominee for our next President, and I've made some musical discoveries as I open up my musical palette of taste and musicians and finally and WOO so happy to say – I recorded my Herbie Nichols SUNG project! Look for news on that release as it unfolds.
And teaching. Been teaching a bunch, deeply inspired by the students I've run across. How curious they are and open. So freaking open. Not much resistance to the unorthodox things I sometimes throw at them. I've been up at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA, taught masterclasses in Antwerp and Amsterdam, ran a sold-out improvising workshop in the Bay area and still running the weekly workshop for the New York Jazz Workshop. Phew. Yesterday I did a clinic at NYU and for the first time I approached the podium feeling completely comfortable to just talk off of the outline. Let the flow determine where we go. We had a good time interacting and I may have found my stride as a speaker and educator. Makes me happy and only about 9 years in the making. 🙂
Add to that, a few wonderful shows are coming up this month that I'm happy to be a part of. Perhaps I'll see you there!

I want to thank all the incredible musicians I've collaborated with in the past couple months on some amazing musical journeys: Achim Kaufmann and Tobias Delius on Herbie Nichols SUNG; Pianist Amy Bormet's Quartet for the Washington Women in Jazz Festival; Darius Jones, Sean Conly and Kenny Wessel in In Praise of Ornette; Mazz Swift, Marika Hughes, Darren Johnston and Lisa Mezzacappa with me in the Bay area in early April; Tomas Fujiwara and Ben Gerstein with me on Sound Session for the Evolving Festival (check out the video of this performance below). That's an amazing group of people to swirl around musical ideas with. I couldn't be more blessed.
That's what's been going on and what's coming up. See you out there or see you soon! Thanks so much for reading.

Sipdown! Thanks to Sil for letting me thief a sample of this before I pass it along to her next weekend!
The aroma is basically of a fruity chai. Definitely fruity, but hard to place the fruit. However, mango is much more identifiable on the sip. It's also a touch floral, probably from the fruit flavouring. I probably could have infused this one a bit longer if I was adding milk, etc. but I wanted to be able to drink it without, and I've succeeded in that (even though there's an odd burn going down, I'm pretty sure that that's something going on with me and a lack of food, not the tea itself). The dominant spice in here is probably cardamom, but none of them are terribly overwhelming, which is nice.
Overall, a pretty tasty example of a fruity chai! I think I still prefer my coconut chai and mayan chocolate chai (smoky chai) over fruity chais though, as I love creaminess and smokiness.
Thanks again Sil!
ETA: Did not care for the re-steep of this one. Something in the spicing didn't taste right when I had it earlier; like it was too heavy on a flavour I didn't enjoy (not cardamom, bc that's one spice I really do enjoy in chais).

A novel susceptibility gene, ST13, coding for a cochaperone of the glucocorticoid receptor (show NR3C1 Antibodies), is associated with exacerbations in asthmatic children and young adults despite their ICS (show DNAI1 Antibodies) use.
St13 is a proliferation regulator that inhibits tumor growth in colorectal neoplasms and may affect cell migration.
Akt (show AKT1 Antibodies) phosphorylation at Thr308 and Ser473 is required for CHIP-mediated ubiquitination of the kinase.
A single amino acid substitution (L211S) resulted in a loss of Hip function. This mutation also appears to disrupt the interaction of Hip with Hsp70 (show HSP70 Antibodies) in vitro
Hip has been identified as a novel substrate of GRK5 (show GRK5 Antibodies) in vitro and in cells, and phosphorylation of Hip by GRK5 (show GRK5 Antibodies) plays a role in modulating CXCR4 (show CXCR4 Antibodies) internalization
These results strongly indicate ST13 mediated by adenovirus triggers colorectal cell apoptosis via ASK1 (show MAP3K5 Antibodies)-JNK (show MAPK8 Antibodies) signaling cascade
S-nitrosoglutathione corrects DeltaF508 CFTR (show CFTR Antibodies) trafficking by inhibiting Hop (show STIP1 Antibodies) expression
The expression levels of ST13 cannot serve as a biomarker for early stages of PD.
Hip functions to promote the efficiency of glucocorticoid receptor (show NR3C1 Antibodies) maturation in cells
The expression of ST13 decreases in colorectal cancer tissue compared with that in adjacent normal tissue. ST13 is mostly expressed in colorectal epithelia and adenocarcinoma cells.
The protein encoded by this gene is an adaptor protein that mediates the association of the heat shock proteins HSP70 and HSP90. This protein has been shown to be involved in the assembly process of glucocorticoid receptor, which requires the assistance of multiple molecular chaperones. The expression of this gene is reported to be downregulated in colorectal carcinoma tissue suggesting that is a candidate tumor suppressor gene.

Adrian unlikely to start in right field at Fenway
Adrian unlikely to start in right field at Fenway
And unlike on Tuesday, when Gonzalez didn't have anything hit to him, he got some action in this one and made all the plays.
In the fourth, Gonzalez made a fine running catch in the corner -- in foul territory -- against Chris Davis.
"Totally impressed," Valentine said. "He had to stride to the wall, and he knew to roll. He backhanded it, had one stride to stop and roll to cushion his contact."
Gonzalez takes pride in being able to help the team, even when playing a different position.
"I had time to slow down," Gonzalez said. "When you've got to slow down, I had time to guard myself a little bit and I kind of spun into the wall, so I didn't have to go head on."
The real question is what will happen when the Red Sox return home on Friday night for the start of a seven-game homestand. Gonzalez has never played right field in Fenway, which is notorious for having a ton of ground to cover.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Gonzalez said.
Playing left field at Fenway doesn't sound like an option for Gonzalez, mainly because he has no experience reading the ball off the bat in left.
"I don't think so. I don't know," Valentine said. "I mean, there has been some thought. There might be continuing conversation. For the most part, when you're on one side of the diamond and you see the ball off the bat, and get your reaction and then try to change that perspective, it becomes more challenging from what I've experienced -- not only personally, but talking to players. I've even seen the infield transition difficult for some guys."
With Gonzalez in right, Kevin Youkilis once again got the start at first, with Will Middlebrooks remaining at third.

SPOKANE, Wash. – Gonzaga University's new Native American studies program presents a screening of a documentary about trailblazing Native American ballerina "Maria Tallchief" at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 19 in the Jepson Center's Wolff Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public. Sandy Osawa (Makah) created the film and will be on campus to host and discuss Tallchief, her art and her contribution to Indian Country.
The documentary interprets Tallchief (Osage) through her experience as a Native American woman at a time when ballet existed as a predominantly European art. Tallchief's skill as a ballerina broke down barriers for other Native women and she emerged as the first of four Native American ballerinas who would rise to fame in the mid-20th century.
Gonzaga's new Native American Studies program is a 21-credit approved minor open to all Gonzaga undergraduate students. Recognizing there is no single Native American perspective, the multidisciplinary curriculum will create an informed comprehension of Native American sovereignty. The curriculum will integrate many Native American social, cultural and political perspectives.
Homeland is of central importance to Native American cultures. Gonzaga's location in the midst of ancestral and contemporary Native American communities on the Columbia Plateau provides meaningful context for the program and also offers a natural center from which discussions can originate.
Laurie Arnold, Ph.D., Directs Program
Laurie Arnold, Ph.D., who directs the new program, is teaching the introductory Native American Studies course offered this fall as well as two courses in the spring, Indians of the Columbia Plateau and Native American Activism. Arnold is an enrolled member of the Lakes Band of the Colville Confederated Tribes, and grew up in Keller, Wash., on the reservation. She earned a bachelor's degree in history from Oregon State University and a Ph.D. in history from Arizona State University. Arnold has previously worked in Chicago at the D'Arcy McNickle Center for American Indian and Indigenous Studies and at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind.
Arnold has high hopes for the Native American Studies program at Gonzaga.
"Because of its mission, Gonzaga is a perfect place for Native American studies to succeed," Arnold said. "Social justice is an inherent Native value, and pursuit of social justice is of primary importance to students at Gonzaga."
Sponsoring the event are the Gonzaga departments of theatre and dance, women's and gender studies, the Unity Multicultural Education Center, the Academic Vice President's office, and the College of Arts and Sciences.
For more information, please contact Laurie Arnold via email or at (509) 313-5947.

Random House announced yesterday afternoon that they will follow the agency pricing model for digital books–a model that allows publishers to set the price of a book and keep pricing even across booksellers.
The American Booksellers Association immediately issued a statement supporting the move. The new price model for Random House books will also help 200 ABA booksellers sell Google eBooks through their websites.
ABA CEO Oren Teicher had this statement: "We have believed from the beginning that the agency model is in the best interest of not only the book industry, but the consuming public as well … We appreciate the careful and thoughtful deliberation Random House has brought to this issue, and applaud their decision to adopt agency pricing."

Central Bank Participation in Currency Options Markets
This paper analyzes whether and how central banks can use currency options to lower exchange rate volatility and maintain (implicit) target zones in foreign exchange markets. It argues that selling rather than buying options will result in market makers dynamically hedging their long option exposure in a stabilizing manner, consistent with the first objective. Selling a "strangle" allows a central bank to increase the credibility of its commitment to a target zone, and could have a lower expected cost than spot market interventions. However, this strategy also exposes the central bank to an unlimited loss potential.

text: ok played alien string today, not what i expected. played the string at 53 pounds 2 pieces in my dunlop 200 team 16x19 the string enlarged the sweet spot and had nice feel. very plush and soft, but to the point that i felt like the ball not making complete contact to the stringbed. for a 1.30 in a 16x19 pattern it had little to NO spin potential i really had to rip a closed grip to get the ball to come down. vollies were good because of the plush feel and serve had good control because of the pattern becoming tighter. for 12 bux its not worth the money there are a few better options. i would say to compare it to another string its like a dead loose rpm blast with out the spin and shape. im sure its worth a try if your interested but again theres a bunch better options on the market. when i read the back of the package i assumed they were trying to make something close to alu power, not at all. we all know alu is alu and nothing comes close. if you want something more detailed i could answer a few question. remember my opnion is different then everyone else and thats why theres a 100 thousand of different strings for each type of player. -sal

A Texas politician at about 3:53 says what another TX politician, Phil Gramm says later. TX really shouldn't export their political product without a warning label. I like Kinky Freidman, and of course George Carlin and Molly Ivans were almost antidotes to the poison. Why Ron Paul is just plain ignored is covered by Jon Stewart. Perry is endorsed by Gramm, and his pro-business platform could also be pro-fraud, as Gramm believes.
Part 5 of "The Year of the Pig" talks of the assassinations of villagers. The cia executed many, Doctors, Teachers, etc. and put notes in their mouths as being the work of Viet Cong, operation mongoose or something like that. The village elders sound similar to the tribal leaders in the current Afghan, Iraq mess. Libya has cia written all over it.
